Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $20.8 million
  • Net income totaled $8.9 million or $0.47 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income totaled $11.5 million or $0.60 per diluted share
  • Board of directors authorized a $0.08 per share regular cash dividend to be paid quarterly and a one-time special dividend of $0.17 per share

Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were up 168% to $57.0 million compared to $21.3 million in the same year-ago period. The significant increase was primarily due to higher revenues from services and fees from the company's Auction and Liquidation segment, as well as the addition of United Online that was acquired on July 1, 2016. The results of United Online are presented in the Communications segment.

  • Auction and Liquidation Segment: Revenues were $23.6 million compared to $5.8 million in the same year-ago period. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a $15.6 million increase in services and fees from retail liquidation engagements, offset by a $4.2 million decrease in revenue from services and fees in the company's wholesale and industrial auction division. Segment income increased to $13.0 million from $2.8 million in the same year-ago period.      
  • Capital Markets Segment: Revenues were $10.1 million compared to $7.5 million in the same year-ago period. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher investment banking fees and trading income and commissions earned. Segment income increased to $1.0 million from $34,000 in the same year-ago period.          
  • Valuation and Appraisal Segment: Revenues were $7.7 million compared to $7.9 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease was primarily due to a net decrease in revenues related to appraisal engagements. Segment income totaled $2.0 million compared to $2.4 million in the same year-ago period.      
  • Communications Segment: Revenues from services and fees, as well as the sale of products totaled $15.6 million, including $11.2 million in revenues from internet access and related subscription services, and $4.3 million from advertising services. Segment income totaled $3.4 million.

Net income for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $8.9 million or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $1.5 million or $0.09 per diluted share in the same year-ago period.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction and restructuring expenses, insurance settlement recoveries, and share based compensation) for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $20.8 million, compared to $3.1 million in the same year-ago period  (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below for further discussion of this non-GAAP term). 

Adjusted net income (excluding the impact of share based payments, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, insurance settlement recovery and transaction costs related to the United Online, Inc. acquisition, net of related tax impact thereof) totaled $11.5 million or $0.60 per share for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $2.1 million or $0.13 per share in the same year-ago period (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below for further discussion of these non-GAAP terms).  

At September 30, 2016, the company had $26.5 million of unrestricted cash and $8.7 million of net investments in securities. Total shareholder equity at quarter-end was $143.6 million.

Declaration of Dividend

On November 13, 2016, the company's board of directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share and a one-time special dividend of $0.17 per share, which will be paid on or about December 14, 2016 to stockholders of record on November 29, 2016.

Management Commentary

"As we previewed in our preliminary release, we had a very profitable third quarter, driven primarily by strong results in our retail asset disposition business, as well as a recovery in our capital markets brokerage business," said company Chairman and CEO, Bryant Riley. "Additionally, United Online, which we acquired in July, has performed in line with our expectations and continues to provide meaningful and consistent cash flow generation.

"As we have communicated, our goal is to return a portion of our adjusted EBITDA back to shareholders in the form of a dividend. While much of our business continues to be episodic in nature, we have certain segments of our business that we expect will provide us with the stability to issue a regular quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share. In addition to this regular quarterly dividend, the additional special dividend of $0.17 per share reflects our commitment to paying a variable dividend based on the performance of the parts of our business that tend to display fluctuating results but outsized returns, like our liquidation segment. Altogether, our dividend policy and capital allocation strategy demonstrates our board's confidence in our balance sheet, future cash flows, and commitment to returning a portion of our profits to our shareholders." 

"Looking ahead, we are seeing many opportunities within our retail asset disposition business, including our announced transactions for Masters Home Improvement in Australia and MS Mode in the Netherlands," continued Riley. "The proceeds from our $28.75 million bond offering last month further bolsters our balance sheet so that we can proactively pursue the many attractive opportunities we are seeing."

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements by B. Riley Financial, Inc. that are not based on historical fact, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "projects," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions and statements.

Because these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results, events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Such factors include risks associated with large engagements in our Auction and Liquidation segment; our ability to achieve expected cost savings or other benefits with respect to the acquisition of United Online, in each case within expected time frames or at all; our ability to consummate anticipated transactions and the expected financial impact thereof, in each case within the expected timeframes or at all; our ability to successfully integrate recent acquisitions; loss of key personnel; our ability to manage growth; the potential loss of financial institution clients; the timing of completion of significant engagements; our ability to achieve stable cash flows and those risks described from time to time in B.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of the information set forth herein, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. B. Riley Financial believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the company's available capital resources, the operating performance of its business and its cash flow, excluding net interest expense, provisions for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction and restructuring expenses, insurance settlement recoveries, and stock-based compensation that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). In addition, the company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the company's operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-financial measures as reported by the company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. The non-GAAP measures are described above and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements portion of this release under the headings "Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation" and "Adjusted Net Income Reconciliation."
