Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCTR) (โ€œVictory Capitalโ€ or โ€œthe Companyโ€) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

โ€œAdjusted EBITDA margin expanded further to 51.1% in the third quarter,โ€ said David Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. โ€œThis was the 13th consecutive quarter above our target of 49%, and the 9th quarter over that period that our margins were 50% or higher.

โ€œAdditionally, we recorded the highest level of quarterly revenue in more than a year, and the highest levels of quarterly Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income this calendar year.

โ€œOur firmwide investment performance continues to be strong. Through the end of September, the percentage of our AUM outperforming benchmarks for the one-year period rose to 70%, up from 63% at the end of June. For the respective 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods 65%, 82%, and 78% of our AUM outperformed their respective benchmarks.

โ€œIn the third quarter, net long-term outflows totaled $1.7 billion, which was an improvement from the second quarter.

โ€œDuring the quarter we accumulated cash on our balance sheet, which rose to $108 million as of September 30. Subsequent to quarter-end, we monetized the floating-to-fixed swap on a portion of our debt generating an additional $43 million of cash. These actions are designed to increase our financial flexibility as we continue to conduct due diligence activities on multiple inorganic growth opportunities.

โ€œAs always, we continue to focus on serving our clients, which is our top priority.โ€

AUM, Flows and Investment Performance

Victory Capitalโ€™s total AUM decreased by 5.0%, or $8.1 billion, to $153.5 billion at September 30, 2023, compared with $161.6 billion at June 30, 2023. The decrease was attributable to the combination of negative market action, net outflows and the divestiture of certain INCORE accounts of $4.9 billion, $1.7 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. Total gross flows were $5.4 billion for the third quarter and $17.4 billion for the year-to-date period. For the third quarter and year-to-date periods, the Company reported total net outflows of $1.7 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, Victory Capital offered 116 investment strategies through its 11 autonomous Investment Franchises and Solutions Platform. The table below presents outperformance against benchmarks by AUM as of September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared with Second Quarter 2023

Revenue increased 2.7% to $209.7 million in the third quarter, compared with $204.2 million in the second quarter, primarily due to an increase in average AUM and one extra day in the quarter. GAAP operating margin contracted 470 basis points in the third quarter to 38.2%, down from 42.9% in the second quarter primarily due to the combination of a non-cash $8.8 million difference in amounts recorded to the change in the fair value of consideration payable for acquisitions and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense due to the write-down of an intangible asset. Reflecting these higher non-cash expenses, third quarter GAAP net income decreased 8.2% to $52.0 million, down from $56.7 million in the prior quarter. On a per-share basis, GAAP net income decreased 7.1% to $0.77 per diluted share in the third quarter, versus $0.83 per diluted share in the second quarter.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit increased 5.1% to $79.8 million in the third quarter, up from $75.9 million in the second quarter. On a per-share basis, adjusted net income with tax benefit increased 6.4% to $1.18 per diluted share in the third quarter, from $1.11 per diluted share in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.1% to $107.2 million in the third quarter, versus $104.0 million in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 20 basis points in the third quarter of 2023 to 51.1% compared with 50.9% in the prior quarter.

Third Quarter 2023 Compared with Third Quarter 2022

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased 1.2% to $209.7 million, compared with $207.3 million in the same quarter of 2022 as a result of higher average AUM over the comparable period.

GAAP operating expenses increased 19.4% to $129.6 million, compared with $108.6 million in last yearโ€™s third quarter due to a non-cash $20.8 million difference in amounts recorded to the change in the fair value of consideration payable for acquisitions as well as an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a reduction in compensation expense. GAAP operating margin contracted 940 basis points to 38.2% in the third quarter, from 47.6% in the same quarter of 2022. GAAP net income declined 28.5% to $52.0 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the third quarter compared with $72.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2022.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 6.7% to $79.8 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, in the third quarter, compared with $85.6 million, or $1.19 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.5% to $107.2 million, compared with $103.6 million in last yearโ€™s same quarter. Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 110 basis points to 51.1% in the third quarter of 2023, compared with 50.0% in the same quarter last year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased 5.8% to $615.2 million, compared with $653.3 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower average AUM and a decrease in revenue realization.

GAAP operating expenses increased 11.8% to $373.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $333.8 million in the same period in 2022 due to a non-cash $59.8 million difference in amounts recorded to the change in the fair value of consideration payable for acquisitions, partially offsetting was a decrease in variable expenses including compensation, distribution and other asset-based expenses. GAAP operating margin was 39.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a 950 basis point decrease from the 48.9% recorded in the same period in 2022. GAAP net income decreased 29.3% to $158.0 million, or $2.30 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2023 compared with $223.2 million, or $3.07 per diluted share, in the same period in 2022.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 10.0% to $230.9 million, or $3.36 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2023, compared with $256.7 million, or $3.53 per diluted share in the same period in 2022.

Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 90 basis points to 50.5% in the first nine months of 2023, compared with 49.6% in the same period last year.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Victory Capital uses non-GAAP financial measures referred to as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to measure the operating profitability of the Company. These measures eliminate the impact of one-time acquisition, restructuring and integration costs and demonstrate the ongoing operating earnings metrics of the Company. The Company has included these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with the same financial metrics used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjustments made to GAAP Net Income to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, are:

  • Adding back income tax expense;
  • Adding back interest paid on debt and other financing costs, net of interest income;
  • Adding back depreciation on property and equipment;
  • Adding back other business taxes;
  • Adding back amortization expense on acquisition-related intangible assets;
  • Adding back stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards issued from pools created in connection with the management-led buyout and various acquisitions and as a result of equity grants related to the IPO;
  • Adding back direct incremental costs of acquisitions, including restructuring costs;
  • Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
  • Adjusting for earnings/losses on equity method investments.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjustments made to GAAP Net Income to calculate Adjusted Net Income, as applicable, are:

  • Adding back other business taxes;
  • Adding back amortization expense on acquisition-related intangible assets;
  • Adding back stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards issued from pools created in connection with the management-led buyout and various acquisitions and as a result of any equity grants related to the IPO;
  • Adding back direct incremental costs of acquisitions, including restructuring costs;
  • Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
  • Subtracting an estimate of income tax expense applied to the sum of the adjustments above.

Tax Benefit of Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

Due to Victory Capitalโ€™s acquisitive nature, tax deductions allowed on acquired intangible assets and goodwill provide it with additional significant supplemental economic benefit. The tax benefit of goodwill and intangible assets represent the tax benefits associated with deductions allowed for intangible assets and goodwill generated from prior acquisitions in which the Company received a step-up in basis for tax purposes. Acquired intangible assets and goodwill may be amortized for tax purposes, generally over a 15-year period. The tax benefit from amortization on these assets is included to show the full economic benefit of deductions for all acquired intangible assets with a step-up in tax basis.
