Exhibit 99.1

 

LIQUIDITY SERVICES, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

– First quarter record revenue of $106.0 million up 35% – Record Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $179.2 million up
41% - Record Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of $22.7 million up
105% – Record Adjusted EPS of $0.37 up 118%

 

WASHINGTON – February 1, 2012 - Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: LQDT; www.liquidityservicesinc.com) today reported its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2012 (Q1-12) ended December 31, 2011.  Liquidity Services, Inc. provides business and government clients and buying customers transparent, innovative and effective online marketplaces and integrated services for surplus assets.

 

Liquidity Services, Inc. (LSI or the Company) reported consolidated Q1-12 record revenue of $106.0 million, an increase of approximately 35% from the prior year’s comparable period.  Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock based compensation and acquisition costs, for Q1-12 was a record $22.7 million, an increase of approximately 105% from the prior year’s comparable period.  Q1-12 GMV, the total sales volume of all merchandise sold through the Company’s marketplaces, was a record $179.2 million, an increase of approximately 41% from the prior year’s comparable period.

 

Net income in Q1-12 was $9.1 million or $0.28 diluted earnings per share.  Adjusted net income, which excludes stock based compensation, acquisition costs and amortization of contract-related intangible assets associated with the Jacobs Trading acquisition – net of tax, in Q1-12 was $11.9 million or $0.37 diluted earnings per share based on 32.4 million fully diluted shares outstanding, an increase of approximately 146% and 118%, respectively, from the prior year’s comparable period.

 

Q1-12 operating cash flow was $12.2 million, an increase of approximately 80% from the prior year’s comparable period.

 

“LSI reported record results for GMV, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS in Q1-12 all of which exceeded our guidance range. Record GMV results were driven by growth in the volume of capital assets sales across our commercial and government clients and benefited from improved merchandising, penetration of existing clients and expanding market share. Our consistent execution has enabled Liquidity Services to become the trusted provider of choice in our industry with over 50 Fortune 500 corporations, over 4,000 federal, state and local government agencies and over 1.6 million registered buyers utilizing our marketplace. Our progress has generated strong financial results for our shareholders, exemplified by our adjusted EBITDA of $64.3 million and operating cash flow of $44.0 million over the last 12 months. By continuing to invest in growing our e-commerce business we intend to capture a significant share of large, highly fragmented markets, both in the commercial and public sector, while having a positive impact on our clients’ financial and environmental sustainability initiatives,” said Bill Angrick, Chairman and CEO of LSI.

 

“Our recent acquisition of Jacobs Trading has further enhanced our position as the leading reverse supply chain solution for large retailers and their suppliers,” said Mr. Angrick.  “Our integration of Jacobs Trading is proceeding as planned, with our teams working well together to maintain the highest service levels while identifying  numerous exciting opportunities to create value for our buyers and clients.”

Business Outlook

 

While economic conditions have improved, our overall outlook remains cautious due to the volatility in the macro environment and its potential impact on the retail supply chain and GDP growth.  Additionally, during fiscal year 2012 we expect to fund major upgrades in our technology infrastructure to support further integration of our existing businesses and online marketplaces, including the integration of Truckcenter.com and Jacobs Trading.  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 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 technology solutions and demonstrated financial strength, we expect our seller base to increase.  As we improve operating efficiencies and service levels, we expect our competitive position to strengthen.

 

The following forward-looking statements reflect trends and assumptions for the next quarter and FY 2012:

 

(i)

stable commodity prices in our scrap business;

(ii)

stable average sales prices realized in our capital assets marketplaces;

(iii)

continued pricing pressure from buyers in selected categories of our retail goods marketplaces resulting in lower than optimal margins;

(iv)

an effective income tax rate of 42%; and

(v)

improved operations and service levels in our retail goods marketplaces.

 

Our results may also be materially affected by changes in business trends and our operating environment, and by other factors, such as, investments in infrastructure and value-added services to support new business in both commercial and public sector markets.

 

Our Scrap Contract with the Department of Defense (DoD) includes an incentive feature, which can increase the amount of profit sharing distribution we receive from 23% up to 25%.  Payments under this incentive feature are based on the amount of scrap we sell for the DoD to small businesses during the preceding 12 months as of June 30th of each year.  We are eligible to receive this incentive in each year of the term of the Scrap Contract and have assumed for purposes of providing guidance regarding our projected financial results for fiscal year 2012 that we will again receive this incentive payment.

 

GMV – We expect GMV for fiscal year 2012 to range from $700 million to $740 million, which is an increase from our previous guidance range of $690 million to $730 million.  We expect GMV for Q2-12 to range from $165 million to $175 million.

 

Adjusted EBITDA – We expect Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2012 to range from $83 million to $87 million, which is an increase from our previous guidance range of $78 million to $82 million.  We expect Adjusted EBITDA for Q2-12 to range from $18.5 million to $20.5 million.

 

Adjusted Diluted EPS – We estimate Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share for fiscal year 2012 to range from $1.32 to $1.38, which is an increase from our previous guidance range of $1.26 to $1.32 million.  In Q2-12, we estimate Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share to be $0.28 to $0.32.  This guidance assumes that we have an average fully diluted number of shares outstanding for the year of 33.4 million, and that we will not repurchase shares with the approximately $18.1 million yet to be expended under the share repurchase program.

 

Our guidance adjusts EBITDA and Diluted EPS for acquisition costs including transaction costs and amortization of contract intangible assets of $33.3 million from our acquisition of Jacobs Trading, and for the effects of FAS 123(R), which we estimate to be approximately $2.3 million to $2.5 million per quarter for fiscal year 2012.  These stock based compensation costs are consistent with fiscal year 2011.

Key Q1-12 Operating Metrics

 

Registered Buyers — At the end of Q1-12, registered buyers totaled approximately 1,641,000, representing a 12% increase over the approximately 1,461,000 registered buyers at the end of Q1-11.

 

Auction Participants — Auction participants, defined as registered buyers who have bid in an auction during the period (a registered buyer who bids in more than one auction is counted as an auction participant in each auction in which he or she bids), decreased to approximately 438,000 in Q1-12, an approximately 12% decrease over the approximately 500,000 auction participants in Q1-11, as a result of fewer transactions (see completed transactions below).

 

Completed Transactions — Completed transactions decreased to approximately 107,000, an approximately 14% decrease for Q1-12 from the approximately 124,000 completed transactions in Q1-11, as a result of an increase in average transaction size of approximately 64% from $1,023 in Q1-11 to $1,681 in Q1-12 due to our lotting and merchandising strategies.

 

GMV and Revenue Mix — GMV continues to diversify due to the continued growth in our U.S. commercial business and state and local government business (the GovDeals.com marketplace).  As a result, the percentage of GMV derived from our DoD Contracts during Q1-12 decreased to 28.2% compared to 33.1% in the prior year period.  The table below summarizes GMV and revenue by pricing model.  The purchase model revenue mix has increased, as a result of the Jacobs Trading acquisition.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net income plus interest expense and other expense, 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, and acquisition costs.  Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2010 includes the operating losses generated by our UK operations, which were closed down as of September 30, 2011.

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.
