LIQUIDITY SERVICES, INC. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

 — Fiscal year revenue of $495.7 million down 2% — Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $931.6 million down 4% - Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $63.0 million down 40% - Adjusted EPS of $1.03 down 41%

 

— Fourth quarter revenue of $118.4 million down 8% — GMV of $223.9 million down 11% - Adjusted EBITDA of $9.1 million down 64% — Adjusted EPS of $0.13 down 67%

 

WASHINGTON — November 20, 2014 - Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: LQDT; www.liquidityservices.com) today reported its financial results for its fiscal year (FY-14) and fourth quarter (Q4-14) ended September 30, 2014.  Liquidity Services is a global solution provider in the reverse supply chain with the world’s largest marketplace for business surplus.

 

Liquidity Services, Inc. (Liquidity Services or the Company) reported consolidated FY-14 revenue of $495.7 million, a decrease of approximately 2% from the prior year.  Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition costs including changes in acquisition earn out payment estimates, and business realignment expense, for FY-14 was $63.0 million, a decrease of approximately 40% from the prior year.  FY-14 GMV, the total sales volume of all merchandise sold through the Company’s marketplaces, was $931.6 million, a decrease of approximately 4% from the prior year.

 

The Company reported consolidated Q4-14 revenue of $118.4 million, a decrease of approximately 8% from the prior year’s comparable period.  Adjusted EBITDA for Q4-14 was $9.1 million, a decrease of approximately 64% from the prior year’s comparable period.  GMV was $223.9 million for Q4-14, a decrease of approximately 11% from the prior year’s comparable period.

 

Net income in FY-14 was $30.4 million or $0.97 diluted earnings per share.  Adjusted net income, which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition costs including changes in acquisition earn out payment estimates, amortization of contract-related intangible assets associated with the Jacobs Trading acquisition, and business realignment expense — net of tax, in FY-14 was $32.4 million or $1.03 adjusted diluted earnings per share based on 31.4 million fully diluted shares outstanding, a decrease of approximately 43% and 41%, respectively, from the prior year’s comparable period.  Net loss in Q4-14 was $0.7 million or $0.02 diluted earnings per share.  Adjusted net income in Q4-14 was $4.0 million or $0.13 adjusted diluted earnings per share based on 29.7 million fully diluted shares outstanding, a decrease of approximately 70% and 67%, respectively, from the prior year’s comparable period. During FY-14, the Company repurchased 2,962,978 shares of common stock which were retired during Q4-14.

 

“Our Q4 results were in line with our guidance expectations led by a rebound in our energy business and continued growth in our state and municipal government business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS were at the low end of our guidance driven by less attractive property mix within our DoD and selected retail programs,” said Bill Angrick, chairman and chief executive officer of Liquidity Services. “We continue to see growing demand from large U.S. retailers, government agencies and blue chip companies in multiple regions, asset categories and service lines, including sales, valuation and asset management, and we continue to focus on creating value for our customers and our shareholders. Looking forward to FY-15, continued uncertainty regarding the mix and volume of property, final scope and timing of our new DoD non-rolling stock surplus contract, and our continued heavy investment in IT, product development, and marketing initiatives to support our commercial business will dampen our growth and earnings results throughout FY-15.”

 

“Overall results for the full year FY-14 did not meet our original expectations due to the changing mix and volume of our current Department of Defense (DoD) surplus contract, weakness in our energy marketplace and integration costs associated with our capital assets group. However, we are proud of the progress made in FY-14 towards building an integrated and scalable global business under our Liquidity One transformation initiative.  We have assembled the right combination of industry expertise, modular services and marketplace channels to reinforce our market leadership in the reverse supply chain and generate meaningful results for over 7,600 clients worldwide in every major sector of the economy. This past year we established strong, centralized IT, HR, Finance, and Legal teams and, in our capital assets business, we launched a unified sales, marketing and operations organization to better serve our global footprint and deepen our value with sellers and buyers. Additionally, we have surveyed the needs of our customers and internal team and commenced developing a unified set of processes and IT systems to support all Liquidity Services marketplaces which will create value for customers and our internal team. During FY15, we will continue to invest aggressively to build innovative products, services, and new capabilities to transform how we do business. We will also continue to evaluate all client programs to ensure we are providing the right level of service at the right price to maintain high value, mutually beneficial, long term relationships. We are confident that we have the right team and strategic plan to deliver a more extensible business model and superior customer experience to support a multi-billion dollar GMV business that creates continued growth and value for long term owners.”

 



 

Business Outlook

 

It is difficult for us to forecast the sales and margins of our business in FY-15 while we are awaiting the final specifications and timing of the work we will be performing under the new DoD surplus contract. In addition, our DoD business has seen significant changes in the volume and mix of property we handle which has reduced sales values and increased costs. Global economic conditions have improved, however our overall outlook remains cautious regarding our commercial capital assets business due to volatility in capital spending patterns. Our retail supply chain business has seen significant changes in consumer spending habits, which have been affected by continued weakness in the consumer goods vertical, as a result of increases in payroll taxes, and continued high unemployment, resulting in decreased spending and decreased pricing in the secondary market. In some cases, the mix of property received under selected retail client programs is unpredictable, resulting in margin pressure and actions on our part to improve the terms under which we do business. Lastly, we plan to further allocate management time and resources to accomplish our Liquidity One transformation program which may result in reduced productivity and growth during FY-15 that is difficult to forecast.

 

In light of these factors, we have elected to change our guidance practices. Beginning with fiscal year 2015, we will provide shareholders and the investment community with GMV, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance on a quarterly basis only.

 

In the longer term, we expect our business to continue to benefit from the following trends: (i) as consumers trade down and seek greater value, we anticipate stronger buyer demand for the surplus merchandise sold in our marketplaces; (ii) as corporations and public sector agencies focus on reducing costs, improving transparency, compliance and working capital flows by outsourcing reverse supply chain activities, we expect our seller base to increase; and (iii) as corporations and public sector agencies increasingly prefer service providers with a proven track record, innovative scalable solutions and the ability to make a strategic impact in the reverse supply chain, we expect our seller base to increase.

 

The following forward looking statements reflect trends and assumptions for the first quarter FY 2015:

 

(i)                                     stable commodity prices in our scrap business;

(ii)                                  stable average sales prices realized in our capital assets marketplaces;

(iii)                               improved margins in our commercial capital assets marketplaces;

(iv)                              an effective income tax rate of 40%; and

(v)                                 improved operations and service levels in our retail goods marketplaces.

 

GMV — We expect GMV for Q1-15 to range from $200 million to $225 million.

 

Adjusted EBITDA —We expect Adjusted EBITDA for Q1-15 to range from $10.0 million to $13.0 million.

 

Adjusted Diluted EPS — We estimate Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share for Q1-15 to range from $0.16 to $0.22. This guidance assumes that we have an average fully diluted number of shares outstanding for the quarter of 29.8 million, and that we will not repurchase shares with the approximately $5.1 million yet to be expended under the share repurchase program.

 

Our guidance adjusts EBITDA and Diluted EPS for (i) acquisition costs including transaction costs and changes in earn out estimates; (ii) amortization of contract related intangible assets of $33.3 million from our acquisition of Jacobs Trading; and (iii) for stock based compensation costs, which we estimate to be approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million per quarter for fiscal year 2015. These stock based compensation costs are consistent with fiscal year 2014.

Liquidity Services, Inc.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net (loss) income plus interest and other expense (income), net; provision for income taxes; amortization of contract intangibles; and depreciation and amortization. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for stock based compensation expense, acquisition costs including changes in earn out estimates, and business realignment expense.

Non-GAAP Measures

 

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance.  These non-GAAP measures include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share.  These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future.  We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: (a) as measurements of operating performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis as they do not reflect the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations; (b) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget; (c) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; (d) to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies; and (e) to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business.

 

We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our core operating measures.  In addition, because we have historically reported certain non-GAAP measures to investors, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in our financial reporting.  These measures should be considered in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.  A reconciliation of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, may be found in the financial tables included in this press release.

 

Supplemental Operating Data

 

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain supplemental operating data as a measure of certain components of operating performance. We review GMV because it provides a measure of the volume of goods being sold in our marketplaces and thus the activity of those marketplaces. GMV and our other supplemental operating data, including registered buyers, auction participants and completed transactions, also provide a means to evaluate the effectiveness of investments that we have made and continue to make in the areas of customer support, value-added services, product development, sales and marketing and operations. Therefore, we believe this supplemental operating data provides useful information to both management and investors.  In addition, because we have historically reported certain supplemental operating data to investors, we believe the inclusion of this supplemental operating data provides consistency in our financial reporting.  This data should be considered in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
