First Quarter 2016 Financial Overview
Consolidated Results
The Company had net income before taxes from continuing operations of $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which was an increase of $10.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 2015. The key drivers of pretax results from continuing operations were improved revenues and investment income from our insurance and insurance services segment, increased rental income in our senior housing real estate operations, and unrealized gains on principal investments partially offset by increased expenses in specialty finance and higher corporate expenses associated with our effort to improve our controls and financial reporting infrastructure.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company reported revenues of $131.8 million, an increase of $42.7 million from the three months ended March 31, 2015. The primary drivers of the increase in revenues were period-over-period improvements in earned premiums, service and administrative fees and investment income in our insurance and insurance services segment, the acquisition of Reliance in specialty finance and of senior housing properties at Care, and improvement in the performance of our principal investments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had expenses of $127.9 million, an increase of $33.3 million from the three months ended March 31, 2015. The primary drivers of the increase in expenses were commission expenses in insurance

and insurance services as a result of the growth in written premiums, higher payroll and commission expense primarily related to the addition of Reliance volume and an increase in headcount in specialty finance, increased operating expenses and depreciation and amortization associated with our increased investments in our real estate segment and increases in corporate payroll and professional expenses to improve our reporting and controls infrastructure.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company reported Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $15.3 million, an increase of $10.6 million from the three months ended March 31, 2015. The key drivers of the change in Adjusted EBITDA were the same as those which impacted our pretax income from continuing operations.

The Company reported total Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $15.3 million, an increase of $2.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 2015. The primary drivers of the increase were the same factors that impacted Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, partially offset by the loss of income from discontinued operations from 2015.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a supplementary metric to enhance investors’ understanding of the on-going earnings potential of the Company’s businesses and an indication of the Company’s ability to generate additional funds for re-investment in the combined businesses. Because it is a Non-GAAP measure, it should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for further information relating to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA measure, including a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Segment Results
Insurance and Insurance Services segment

The Company’s insurance and insurance services segment is comprised of its wholly-owned Fortegra subsidiary, which was acquired in December 2014. The acquisition of Fortegra resulted in purchase price accounting adjustments in our insurance and insurance services segment giving effect to the push-down accounting treatment of the acquisition. These adjustments include setting deferred cost assets to a fair value of zero, modifying deferred revenue liabilities to their respective fair values, and recording a substantial intangible asset representing the value of the business acquired (“VOBA”). The application of push-down accounting creates a modest impact to net income, but significantly impacts individual assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Due to acquisition accounting, the line items through which revenue and expenses relate to acquired contracts are recognized in a single line item, depreciation and amortization, and are different than newly originated contracts. To allow for better period-over-period comparison of operations, we eliminated the effects of purchase accounting (“As Adjusted”). The Company believes that As Adjusted information provides useful supplemental information to investors, but should be reviewed in conjunction with their nearest GAAP equivalent. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Fortegra” below for further information, including a reconciliation from GAAP results to As Adjusted results.

Insurance and insurance services segment pre-tax income was $9.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $5.0 million or 123.5% over the prior year period operating results. The primary drivers of the improvement in period-over-period results was a reduction in total operating expenses of $8.2 million, primarily in depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the VOBA, partially offset by a reductions in net revenues of $3.2 million driven by competition in the warranty segment.

As Adjusted pre-tax income was $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $5.0 million or 141.8%. The primary drivers of the period-over-period improvement include an increase in net revenues of $4.0 million driven by improvements in credit protection investment income, earned premiums and service fees. As Adjusted operating expenses were down $1.0 million as a result of cost actions taken throughout 2015 to reduce headcount and professional fees.

For insurance and insurance services, the main components of revenue are service and administrative fees, ceding commissions and earned premiums, net. Total revenues were $89.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, up $16.9 million, or 23.4% over the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in earned premiums of $7.3 million, or 19.4%, and increase of $8.4 million, or 38.2%, in service and administrative fees, and an increase of $2.2 million in investment income, all of which were slightly offset by a decrease of $5.4 million in period-over-period impacts of purchase accounting.

As Adjusted net revenues were $30.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, up $4.0 million or 14.9% from the comparable 2015 period. The increase was primarily driven by improvements in the credit protection and specialty products, as reduced claim activity and investment income on float drove the year-over-year favorability. Those improvements were dampened

slightly by a reduction in period-over-period As Adjusted net revenues for cell phone warranty contracts as competitive pressures remain.

Operating expenses in the insurance and insurance services segment are composed of payroll and employee commissions, interest expense, professional fees, depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses. Segment operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $23.6 million, a decrease of $8.2 million or 25.8% as compared to the previous year period costs. The primary driver of the period-over-period decrease was attributable to lower depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the decline in purchase accounting impact from the amortization of the fair value attributed to the insurance policies and contracts acquired, which was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 versus $9.4 million in the comparable 2015 period. As Adjusted operating expenses of $22.2 million were down period-over-period as a result of continued cost reduction efforts.

Insurance and insurance services segment adjusted EBITDA was $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 an increase of $3.8 million for the same period year-over-year. The key drivers of Adjusted EBITDA growth was higher credit insurance and specialty products revenues and flat operating expenses, adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting effects, partially offset by lower warranty revenues driven by competition in the cell phone warranty business. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Specialty Finance segment

Specialty finance segment pre-tax loss was $1.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with pre-tax income of $0.4 million for the same period in 2015. The key driver of the decrease was higher expense growth relative to volume growth, caused by investment in marketing expenses and costs of additional sales personnel. Growth in volume tends to lag the hiring of new loan officers as the full ramp up of productivity takes four to six months.

Segment revenues were $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $6.3 million for the comparable 2015 period, an increase of $10.3 million or 164.8%. Segment expenses were $17.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $5.8 million in the comparable 2015 period, an increase of $11.7 million or 201.5%. Higher expenses more than offset higher revenues, resulting in declining profitability year-over-year. Primarily drivers include unfavorable market conditions which dampened organic origination growth excluding the impact of the Reliance acquisition, increasing payroll expenses as the businesses expand headcount to produce future originations, and increased professional expenses for audit and internal control over financial reporting.

Specialty finance segment Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to income of $0.6 million in the prior year period. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the increased expenses, which more than offset increases in volume and revenue from the Reliance acquisition. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for further information relating to the Company’s adjusted EBITDA measure, including a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Real Estate segment

Care had a pre-tax loss of $3.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with pre-tax loss of $4.2 million for the same period in 2015. In February and March of 2015, Care made significant investments in 11 senior housing properties. The increase in the number of properties in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015 generated higher rental and other income in the 2016 period compared with the comparable 2015 period, however the Company also incurred additional depreciation, amortization and interest expenses as a consequence of the growth in Care’s property portfolio.

Care’s segment NOI was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $3.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of $1.8 million or 56.7%, primarily as a result of an increase in rental revenue partially offset by increased property operating expenses.

Care had Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 with the drivers being the same as mentioned above for pre-tax income. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Asset Management


Page 3



Pre-tax net income for the asset management segment was $1.7 million for three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with pre-tax net income of $1.9 million for the prior year period, a decrease of $0.2 million. The key drivers of decline were a reduction in management fees by $0.2 million, offset by an increase an increase in other income of $0.3 million, and further reduced by an increase of payroll and employee commissions of $0.4 million. The reduction in management fees was driven by a combination of AUM declines in our older CLOs which are past their reinvestment periods and lower fees as described below. The other income was a gain on extinguishment of an obligation to share future management fees for an amount that was significantly below its carrying value.

Asset management segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million for 2016 compared to $1.9 million in the prior year. The decline was driven by the same factors discussed above. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Net Income attributable to CLOs managed by the Company

Including the net income from our deconsolidated CLOs, pre-tax income from the Company’s CLO business was $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with pre-tax income of $0.7 million in 2015. The primary driver of the year-over-year increase of $2.1 million was lower realized and unrealized losses incurred on the Company’s holdings of subordinated notes which was only partially offset by reduced distributions from the subordinated notes. The lower management fees were due to the runoff of Telos 1 and Telos 2, which are past their reinvestment period, plus the impact of lower fees on later CLOs. The lower distributions from the subordinated notes in 2016 compared to the prior year is primarily due to our sales of CLO subordinated notes during the second quarter of 2015. The realized and unrealized losses in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 were due to the mark-to-market write-down in our retained CLO subordinated note holdings.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures - CLO Net Income” below for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Corporate and Other

The Company’s corporate and other segment incorporates revenues from the Company’s investments in CLOs and tax exempt securities, income from the Company’s credit investment portfolio and net gains or losses from the Company’s corporate finance activity, including the interest rate and credit derivative risk mitigation transactions. Segment expenses include interest expense on the Fortress credit facility and head office payroll and other expenses.

Pre-tax loss from the corporate and other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.8 million compared to $8.0 million in the prior year period. The primary drivers of this difference is the result of a pre-tax gain of $2.8 million in our credit investments, consisting primarily of interest income from our Telos 7 warehouse and our credit opportunities fund, which were not formed in the prior year period, as well as a $5.8 million unrealized gains on investments compared with net unrealized losses of $0.7 million in the prior year period, offset by increased corporate payroll and other expenses as the Company expanded its staff and other professional support as a result of its efforts to improve reporting and controls infrastructure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited, in thousands)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that use of these financial measures on a consolidated basis and for each segment provide supplemental information useful to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze performance period to period, to analyze a company’s ability to service its debt and to facilitate comparison among companies. The Company believes segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides additional supplemental information to compare results among our segments. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in determining incentive compensation for the Company’s executive officers. These measures are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for net income. The Company’s presentation of these measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company defines EBITDA as GAAP net income of the Company adjusted to add consolidated interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation and amortization expense as presented in its financial statements and Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to (i) subtract interest expense on asset-specific debt incurred in the ordinary course of its subsidiaries’ business operations, (ii) adjust for the effect of purchase accounting, (iii) add back significant acquisition related costs, (iv) adjust for significant relocation costs and (v) any significant one-time expenses.

Notes
(1)
The consolidated non-corporate and non-acquisition related interest expense is subtracted from EBITDA to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA. This includes interest expense associated with asset-specific debt at subsidiaries in the insurance and insurance services, specialty finance, real estate and corporate and other segments.
(2)
Following the purchase accounting adjustments, current period expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated by $4.4 million and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated by $2.4 million. Thus, the purchase accounting effect related to Fortegra, increased EBITDA in the first quarter of 2016 by $2.0 million above what the historical basis of accounting would have generated. The impact of this purchase accounting adjustments have been reversed to reflect an adjusted EBITDA without such purchase accounting effect.
(3)
For Care, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the change of fair value of interest rate swaps hedging the debt at the property level to conform to our updated interest rate hedging policy.
(4)
For the first quarter of 2016, $0.4 million of acquisition related costs represents costs in connection with Care’s acquisition of two properties which included taxes, legal costs and other expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Fortegra

The following table presents our insurance and insurance services segment results on a GAAP basis and an As Adjusted basis (a non GAAP measure which excludes the effects of purchase price accounting which management believes provides for better period-over-period comparison of the underlying operating performance of the business and aligns more closely with the basis upon which management performance is measured). Due to acquisition accounting, the line items through which revenue and expenses relate to acquired contracts are recognized in a single line item, depreciation and amortization, and are different than newly originated contracts. To allow for better period-over-period comparison of operations, we eliminated the effects of purchase accounting. The Company believes that As Adjusted information provides useful supplemental information to investors, but should be reviewed in conjunction with their nearest GAAP equivalent. Investors should not consider these Non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for the financial information that Fortegra reports in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  These Non-GAAP financial measures reflect subjective determinations by Fortegra management, and may differ from similarly titled Non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. See the below table for a reconciliation from actual to As Adjusted financials.

Notes:
(1) Includes net realized and unrealized gains and (losses) on investments.
(2) Represents service fee revenues that would have been recognized had purchase accounting effects not been recorded. Deferred service fee liabilities at the acquisition date were reduced to reflect the purchase accounting fair value.
(3) Represents ceding commission revenues that would have been recognized had purchase accounting effects not been recorded. Deferred ceding commissions liabilities at the acquisition date were reduced to reflect the purchase accounting fair value.
(4) Represents additional commissions expense that would have been recorded without purchase accounting; the values of deferred commission assets were eliminated in purchase accounting.
(5) Represents the removal of net additional depreciation and amortization expense that would not have been recorded without purchase accounting; fixed assets and amortizing intangible assets were adjusted in purchase accounting based on fair value analyses.
(6) Represents additional premium tax and other acquisition expenses that would have been recorded without purchase accounting; values of deferred acquisition costs were eliminated in purchase accounting.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Net revenues
For insurance and insurance services, Net revenues, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is shown as total revenue less commissions paid to brokers, member benefit claims and net loss and loss adjustment expenses. Year over year comparisons of total revenues are often impacted by clients’ choice as to whether to retain risk. We use net revenues as another means of understanding product contributions to our results and provides a comparison of period-over-period risk retained by the Company. Net revenues also adds supplemental information for investors to understand profitability of various products after reinsurance payments, claims and losses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - NOI

We evaluate performance of our real estate segment based on net operating income (“NOI”). We consider NOI as an important supplemental measure used to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate segment because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess our unleveraged property-level operating results and to compare our operating results between periods and to the operating results of other real estate companies on a consistent basis. In addition, NOI is the basis upon which our partners in the Managed Properties are compensated. We define NOI as total revenue less property operating expense. Property operating expenses and resident fees and services are not relevant to Care’s Triple Net Lease Properties since Care does not manage the underlying operations and substantially all expenses are passed through to the tenant. Our calculation of NOI may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. NOI is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for pre-tax income. The following tables present revenues and expenses, which include amounts attributable to non-controlling interests, by property type in our real estate segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - CLO Net Income
The Company deconsolidated the results of Telos 1, Telos 2, Telos 3 and Telos 4 for the period that we did not own the subordinated notes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 but not for the prior year period. The table below shows the results attributable to the CLOs both on a consolidated basis and an unconsolidated basis, which is a non-GAAP measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Management believes is helpful to investors for year-over-year comparative purposes, given that Telos 2 and Telos 4 were not deconsolidated until Q2 2015 when we sold our retained interests in each CLO.
