PR Newswire

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Medley Management Inc. (NYSE: MDLY) today reported its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2018 and will host an earnings conference call and audio webcast this morning at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

Highlights

  • Fee earning assets under management were $2.9 billion as of September 30, 2018
  • Total assets under management were $4.8 billion as of September 30, 2018
  • U.S. GAAP net loss per share attributable to Medley Management Inc. was $0.15 for Q3 2018
  • Core Net Income Per Share was $0.06 for Q3 2018
  • Declared $0.20 per share dividend for Q3 2018 payable on December 12, 2018

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Total revenues were $14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $16.6 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease was due primarily to lower base management fees from our permanent capital vehicles as a result of a decrease in fee earning assets under management, partly offset by an increase in other revenue and fees.

Total expenses from operations were $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was due primarily to an increase in professional fees.   The increase in professional fees was attributed to fees incurred in connection with our pending merger with Sierra Income Corporation ("Sierra").

Total other income (expense), net was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $(1.5) million for the same period in 2017. The increase was due primarily to $2.7 million of unrealized gains relating to one of our investments.  The $2.7 million of unrealized gains were allocated to non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries which did not have any impact on the income attributed to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC.

Net loss attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net income of $2.6 million for the same period in 2017. Medley Management Inc.'s net loss per share was $0.15 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net income per share of $0.03 for the same period in 2017.

Pre-Tax Core Net Income was $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2017. Core Net Income Per Share was $0.06 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $0.09 for the same period in 2017. Core EBITDA was $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2017.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Total revenues were $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $47.0 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease was due primarily to lower base management fees from our permanent capital vehicles as a result of a decrease in fee earning assets under management, partly offset by an increase in other revenue and fees.

Total expenses from operations were $37.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $26.0 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was due primarily to an increase in professional fees and compensation expense. The increase in professional fees related to strategic initiatives including our pending merger with Sierra. The increase in compensation was primarily attributed severance expense as a result of the consolidation of our business activities to our New York office and stock-based compensation associated with award grants in 2018.

Total other expense, net was $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was due primarily to $10.9 million of unrealized losses relating to one of our investments, partly offset by an increase of $0.5 million in dividend income. Of the $10.9 million of unrealized losses, $7.3 million was allocated to non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries which did not have any impact on the net income attributed to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC.

Net loss attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC was $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net income of $10.0 million for the same period in 2017. Medley Management Inc.'s net loss per share was $0.49 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net income per share of $0.18 for the same period in 2017.

Pre-Tax Core Net Income was $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2017. Core Net Income Per Share was $0.16 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $0.28 for the same period in 2017. Core EBITDA was $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $23.7 million for the same period in 2017.

(1)

Net (Loss) Income Margin equals Net (loss) income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC divided by total revenue.

(2)

Pre-Tax Core Net Income is calculated as Core Net Income before income taxes. Core Net Income reflects net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and net income attributable to non-controlling interests in Medley LLC adjusted to exclude reimbursable expenses associated with the launch of funds, stock-based compensation associated with restricted stock units that were granted in connection with our IPO, other non-core items and the income tax expense associated with the foregoing adjustments. Please refer to the reconciliation of Core Net Income to Net income (loss) attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC in Exhibit C for additional details.

(3)

Core EBITDA is calculated as Core Net Income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Please refer to the reconciliation of Core EBITDA to Net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC in Exhibit C for additional details.

(4)

Core Net Income Per Share is calculated as Core Net Income, adjusted for the income tax effect of assuming that all of our pre-tax earnings were subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes, divided by Pro-Forma Weighted Average Shares Outstanding (as defined below). We assumed an effective corporate tax rate of 33.0% for 2018 and 43.0% for 2017. Please refer to the calculation of Core Net Income Per Share in Exhibit D for additional details.

(5)

Core Net Income Margin equals Core Net Income Per Share divided by total revenue per share.

(6)

The calculation of Pro-Forma Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the conversion by the pre-IPO holders of up to 24,639,302 vested and unvested LLC Units for 24,639,302 shares of Class A common stock at the beginning of each period presented, as well as the vesting of the weighted average number of restricted stock units granted to employees and directors during each of the periods presented.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements included herein may contain "forward-looking statements." Statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those described from time to time in filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in the section "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement made herein. All forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP is contained in the tables attached hereto.

Non-GAAP measures used by management include Pre-Tax Core Net Income, Core Net Income, Core EBITDA, Core Net Income Per Share and Core Net Income Margin. Management believes that these measures provide analysts, investors and management with helpful information regarding our underlying operating performance and our business, as they remove the impact of items management believes are not reflective of underlying operating performance. These non-GAAP measures are also used by management for planning purposes, including the preparation of internal budgets; and for evaluating the effectiveness of operational strategies. Additionally, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide another tool for investors to use in comparing our results with other companies in our industry, many of whom use similar non-GAAP measures. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the use of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure and these measures supplement and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of the results of operations discussed below. Furthermore, such measures may be inconsistent with measures presented by other companies.

This press release does not constitute an offer for any Medley fund.

(2)

Represents a per share adjustment for income taxes assuming that all of our pre-tax earnings were subject to federal, state and local income taxes. We assumed an effective corporate tax rate of 33.0% for 2018 and 43.0% for 2017. The lower effective corporate tax rate was primarily the result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which reduced the federal corporate tax rate from 34.0% to 21.0% effective January 1, 2018.
