HC2 Holdings Reports Fiscal Year 2014 Results

 

HERNDON, VA – (Marketwired) – 03/16/2015 – HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: HCHC), a diversified holding company that focuses on acquiring, investing in and operating businesses with attractive assets that it considers to be under or fairly valued and growing its acquired businesses, today announced its consolidated results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 ended on December 31, 2014 as well as the results for the full fiscal year ended on December 31, 2014.

 

“Looking back at 2014, we accomplished a great deal at HC2, including the diversification of our company through the acquisition of highly attractive businesses and the listing of our stock on the NYSE MKT exchange,” said Philip Falcone, HC2’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In 2015, our goal remains the same: acquire and own cash flow positive businesses where we can build value over the long-term or acquire businesses that we believe offer significant growth potential. We believe that we have considerable flexibility in pursuing our vision and we continue to believe we are very well positioned for growth and value creation over the foreseeable future.”

 

2014 Highlights:

 

·Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 for our primary operating subsidiaries, Schuff International, Inc. (“Schuff”) and Global Marine Systems Limited (“Global Marine”) was a combined $88.8 million.

 

·Total pro-forma net revenue for the fiscal year 2014 was $853.5 million, an increase of 6.5% over 2013 pro-forma net revenue.

 

·Consolidated cash as of December 31, 2014 was $108.0 million.

 

·Listed Company’s common stock on the NYSE MKT LLC national securities exchange.

 

·Completed the acquisition of an approximate 91% interest in Schuff, a leading structural steel fabricator in the United States, which comprises our Manufacturing segment.

 

·Completed the acquisition of Bridgehouse Marine Limited, the parent holding company of Global Marine, a leading global offshore engineering company focused on subsea cable installation and maintenance, which comprises our Marine Services segment.

 

·Equity investment comprised of common stock and warrants in Novatel Wireless, Inc. (“Novatel”) which was acquired by HC2 at a cost of $14.2 million, and at December 31, 2014 had a market value of $35.9 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

 

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us on a pro forma basis, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for asset impairment expense; gain (loss) on sale or disposal of assets; amortization of debt discount; loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt; interest income and other income (expense), net; foreign currency transaction gain (loss); (gain) loss on sale of discontinued operations; gain (loss) from discontinued operations; income tax (benefit) expense; income (loss) from equity investees; acquisition and related charges; non-controlling interests; share-based compensation expense; and depreciation and amortization expense.

 

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is significant to gaining an understanding of the Company’s results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-US GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s US GAAP financial results.

 

The market value of the Novatel equity and warrants as of December 31, 2014 presented in this release has been calculated with the common stock valued at $2.95, the 20-day VWAP of the Novatel common stock for the period ended December 31, 2014, and with the warrants valued using a Black-Scholes model and closing price as of December 31, 2014.
