Imperial Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2014 Results

Company Reports Book Value of $9.83 per Share

Boca Raton, FL, July 30, 2014 – Imperial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: IFT) (“Imperial” or the “Company”), a specialty finance company with a focus on providing liquidity solutions to owners of illiquid financial assets, announced today its financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Total income from continuing operations was $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to total income from continuing operations of $65.6 million for the same period in 2013. Income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily driven by the change in fair value associated with the acquisition of 422 life insurance policies, while no policy acquisitions occurred during the same period in 2014. Total expenses were $19.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $18.5 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily driven by the change in fair value of $4.7 million associated with the conversion derivative liability embedded in the Company’s convertible notes. This change in fair value was driven in large part by the increase in the Company’s stock price during the period from March 31, 2014 through June 5, 2014, the date the Company obtained shareholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of certain NYSE limits. As of June 5, 2014, this conversion derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital, net of the related tax impact.

The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $6.3 million, or ($.29) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $47.2 million, or $2.22 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2013.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Total income from continuing operations was $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to total income from continuing operations of $67.8 million for the same period in 2013. Income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily driven by the change in fair value associated with the acquisition of 422 life insurance policies, while no policy acquisitions occurred during the same period in 2014. Total expenses were $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $25.9 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the change in the fair value of the conversion derivative liability as noted above of $6.8 million and an increase in the fair value of the Company’s revolving credit facility of $3.8 million.

The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $9.6 million, or ($.45) per fully diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $41.8 million, or $1.97 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2013. The net loss was impacted by a one-time income tax provision of approximately $3.7 million, which resulted from the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement during the first quarter of 2014.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $82.4 million and had 21,402,990 shares outstanding with a per share book value of $9.83.

Life Settlements Portfolio Highlights

At June 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Company’s 593 life insurance policies was $336.8 million compared to $303.0 million for 612 life insurance policies at December 31, 2013. The weighted average discount rate was 18.92% at June 30, 2014 compared to 19.14% at December 31, 2013. The aggregate face value of the Company’s portfolio of life insurance policies was approximately $2.9 billion at June 30, 2014.

Antony Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of Imperial, commented: “As we enter the second half of 2014, we remain encouraged by the continued interest in our asset class.” Mr. Mitchell concluded, “We expect to execute the first phase of our capital deployment plan during the third quarter and continue through the end of the year.”
