Non-GAAP Adjusted Revenues for the first quarter of 2016 increased 6% to $244.2 million from $229.6 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to $110.1 million from $98.2 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 45.1% compared to 42.8% in the prior year quarter.

Commenting on the results, Black Knight Executive Chairman Bill Foley said, "We had a very strong start to fiscal year 2016, as the positive momentum we experienced throughout 2015 continued into the first quarter. We believe our success is due to our unwavering commitment to help our clients manage and mitigate risk while driving greater efficiencies to improve their financial performance. Continuing regulatory changes in the mortgage industry remain an important consideration for our clients, and it is clear from our results that the leading lenders and servicers view our market-leading comprehensive end-to-end solutions as the long-term strategic answer for their needs."
Black Knight President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Sanzone added, "We are pleased with our strong results in the first quarter. We delivered Adjusted Revenues growth of 6% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 12%, which drove Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion of 230 basis points to 45.1%.

Segment Information
Technology
Adjusted Revenues for the first quarter of 2016 increased 10% to $202.4 million from $184.7 million in the prior year quarter. Our servicing technology business had Adjusted Revenue growth of 5%, driven by strong loan growth on our servicing platform, annual price increases, the implementation of a specialty servicing client on our LoanSphere invoicing solution and other new client wins. Our origination technology business had Adjusted Revenue growth of 35%, driven by prior year client implementations and the successful negotiation of a client contract buyout. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15% to $115.4 million, while Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 57.0%, an increase of 260 basis points compared to 54.4% in the prior year quarter, driven by strong contribution margins and the benefit of continuous cost control efforts.
Data and Analytics
Adjusted Revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $41.8 million compared to $44.8 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting lower upfront revenues from long-term strategic license deals in the current year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million compared to $7.8 million in the prior year quarter as the revenue decline was partially offset by an increase in operational efficiencies. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 16.3% compared to 17.4% in the prior year quarter.
Corporate/Other
Adjusted corporate expenses for the first quarter of 2016, excluding depreciation, amortization and interest expense, increased $2.0 million from the prior year quarter due to higher incentive bonus accruals and public company costs.
Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2016, Black Knight had cash and cash equivalents of $118.3 million and debt of $1,601.2 million. As of March 31, 2016, Black Knight had available capacity on its revolving credit facility of $350.0 million.

Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures
This earnings release presents non-GAAP and pro forma financial information including Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Earnings from Continuing Operations, Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations. These are important financial performance measures for Black Knight, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Black Knight uses these non-GAAP and pro forma financial performance measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Black Knight believes they provide useful information
2
about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached schedules.
Adjusted Revenues - We define Adjusted Revenues as reported revenues adjusted to include the revenues that were not recorded by Black Knight during the period presented due to the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment recorded in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA - We define Adjusted EBITDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments to reflect the addition or elimination of certain income statement items including, but not limited to (i) the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment recorded in accordance with GAAP; (ii) equity-based compensation; (iii) charges associated with significant legal and regulatory matters; (iv) member management fees paid to FNF and THL Managers, LLC; (v) exit costs, impairments and other charges; (vi) one-time costs associated with the initial public offering; and (vii) other significant, non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Adjusted Revenues.
Adjusted Net Earnings from Continuing Operations and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings from Continuing Operations- We define Adjusted Net Earnings from Continuing Operations as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes with adjustments to reflect the addition or elimination of certain income statement items including, but not limited to, (i) adjustments to calculate Adjusted EBITDA as described above; (ii) adjustment for the net incremental depreciation and amortization adjustments associated with the application of purchase accounting; (iii) non-recurring items in Other expense, net; (iv) adjustment for income tax expense at our estimated effective tax rate, excluding noncontrolling interests; and (v) assume the exchange of all the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock into shares of our Class A common stock, which eliminates the noncontrolling interests in Black Knight. For periods that include the results of operations prior to the third quarter of 2015, Pro Forma Adjusted Net Earnings from Continuing Operations would further include pro forma adjustments to present interest expense as if the amount of debt outstanding and applicable interest rates as a result of the debt refinancing were consistent for all periods.
Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations - We calculate Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations using Adjusted Net Earnings from Continuing Operations and assuming the exchange of all shares of Class B common stock into shares of our Class A common stock at the beginning of the respective period, as well as the dilutive effect of any unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock.
Forward-Looking Statements

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements regarding expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on Black Knight management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them.

The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of Black Knight and are, therefore, not participating securities. Accordingly, basic and diluted net earnings per share of Class B common stock have not been presented. The expected effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 35.4%. The denominator includes approximately 84.8 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding, as well as the dilutive effect of approximately 2.0 million unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock as of March 31, 2016. |
