NEW YORK, NY – May 8, 2014 – FXCM Inc. (NYSE: FXCM), a leading online provider of foreign exchange, or FX, trading and related services, today announced for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, US GAAP revenues of $115.0 million, compared to $122.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of 6%. U.S. GAAP net income attributable to FXCM Inc. was $2.1 million for the First Quarter 2014 or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $6.9 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the First Quarter 2013, a decrease of 70% and 79% respectively.

 

Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA for the First Quarter 2014 was $24.6 million, compared to $43.8 million for the First Quarter 2013, a decrease of 44%. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income was $5.2 million or $0.07 per share for the First Quarter 2014, compared to $17.5 million or $0.23 per diluted, fully exchanged share for the First Quarter 2013, a decrease of 70% and 70% respectively.

 

“Volatility in the currency markets is currently at lows only seen twice in the past 20 years,” said Drew Niv, Chief Executive Officer. “However, having grown our business so significantly in the past few years, we believe we have the scale to continue to weather the difficult trading conditions relative to our competition and use them to expand our market share for when conditions improve.”

 

Adjusted Pro Forma results assume the conversion and exchange of all FXCM Holdings, LLC Units into FXCM Inc. Class A common stock, resulting in the elimination of the non-controlling interest and the corresponding adjustment to the entity's tax provision. In addition, Adjusted Pro Forma results eliminate certain non-recurring charges and certain equity based compensation expense granted at the time of FXCM's initial public offering in December 2010.

Adjusted Pro Forma Results

 

Throughout the discussion of FXCM Inc.’s results, information is presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis, which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) measure. Adjusted Pro Forma results begin with information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), adjusted to exclude certain items and reflects the conversion of all units of FXCM Holdings, LLC for shares of Class A common stock of FXCM Inc. FXCM believes that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare FXCM’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of FXCM’s operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance, as well as the performance of individual employees. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The differences between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:

 

1.Assumed Exchange of Units of FXCM Holdings, LLC for FXCM Inc. Class A Shares. As a result of the exchange of FXCM Holdings units, the non-controlling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. The Company's management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all FXCM Holdings units.

 

2.Compensation Expense. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to eliminate expense relating to stock based compensation relating to the Company's initial public offering as well as costs associated with the renegotiation or termination of certain employment contracts that held profit sharing interests in the performance of the Company's business units. Given the nature of these expenses, they are not viewed by management as expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business and management believes it is useful to provide the effects of eliminating these expenses.

 

3.Lucid Minority Interest/Compensation Expense. Our reported U.S. GAAP results reflect the portion of the 49.9% of Lucid earnings allocated among the non-controlling members of Lucid based on services provided as a component of compensation expense under "Allocation of Net Income to Lucid Members for Services Provided." Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to reclassify this allocation of Lucid's earnings attributable to non-controlling members to "Net income attributable to other non-controlling interests." The Company's management believes that this reclassification provides a more meaningful view of the Company's operating expenses and the Company's economic arrangement with Lucid's non-controlling members. This adjustment has no impact on net income as reported by FXCM Inc.

 

4.Acquisition Costs/Income. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to eliminate certain acquisition related costs/income. Given the nature of these items, they are not viewed by management as expenses/income incurred in the ordinary course of business and management believes it is useful to provide the effects of eliminating these items.

 

5.Regulatory Costs. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings to eliminate certain costs (including client reimbursements) associated with ongoing discussions and settling certain historical trade execution matters with the Company's regulators. Given the nature of these expenses they are not viewed by management as expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business and management believes it is useful to provide the effects of eliminating these expenses.

 

6.Income Taxes. Prior to the initial public offering FXCM was organized as a series of limited liability companies and foreign corporations, and even following the initial public offering not all of the Company's income is subject to corporate-level taxes. As a result, adjustments (including Tax Receivable Agreement adjustments recorded to Other Income) have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma earnings to assume that the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. This assumption is consistent with the assumption that all of FXCM Holdings' units are exchanged for shares of FXCM Inc. Class A common stock, as discussed in Item 1 above, as the assumed exchange would change the tax structure of the Company. In addition, the Adjusted Pro Forma income tax provision reflects the tax effect of any adjusted pro forma adjustments.
