Standalone Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

 

Total revenues increased by 49%, or $8.4 million, to $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $17.1 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was due primarily to a $2.6 million increase in management fees due to increases in fee earning AUM, as well as a $6.3 million increase in performance fee revenue.

 

Total expenses increased by 25%, or $2.3 million to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was due primarily to a $3.5 million increase in compensation and benefits due to higher headcount, partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in performance fee compensation.

 

Total other expense, net increased by $0.5 million to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2014. The increase is due primarily to a $1.5 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by decreases in other expenses.

 

Pre-Tax Core Net Income increased by 118%, or $7.2 million, to $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2014. Core Net Income Per Share increased by 127% to $0.25 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $0.11 per share in the comparable period in 2014. 

 

Core EBITDA increased by $8.7 million to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2014.

 

Note: The financial results for the first quarter 2014 reflect those of our operating subsidiaries, Medley LLC and Medley GP Holdings LLC and their consolidated subsidiaries prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) and the related reorganization.

(1)Pre-Tax Core Net Income is calculated as Core Net Income before income taxes. Core Net Income reflects standalone net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC adjusted to exclude reimbursable expenses associated with the launch of funds, certain one-time severance costs and stock-based compensation associated with restricted stock units that were granted in connection with our IPO. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, Core Net Income includes the pro-forma adjustment to reflect guaranteed payments to Medley LLC members as compensation expense, that, prior to our reorganization and IPO, were recorded as distributions from members’ capital. Please refer to the reconciliation of Core Net Income to Net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC in Exhibit B for additional details.
(2)Core EBITDA is calculated as Core Net Income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation. 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.
(3)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 are subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes, divided by Pro-Forma Weighted Average Shares Outstanding (as defined below). Please refer to the calculation of Core Net Income Per Share in Exhibit B for additional details.
(4)Core Net Income Margin equals Core Net Income Per Share divided by total standalone revenue per share for the respective periods presented.
(5)The calculation of Pro-Forma Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes that the following transactions had occurred at the beginning of each period presented: (1) the issuance of 6,000,000 Class A common shares in connection with our IPO (2) conversion by the pre-IPO holders of 23,333,333 Medley LLC units for 23,333,333 Class A shares and (3) the grant of 1,151,389 restricted stock units in connection with our IPO, adjusted for actual forfeitures and additional grants during the period.
