LIQUIDITY SERVICES, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

– Revenue of $71.5 million up 36% – Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $104.2 million up 67% - Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $8.2 million up 41% –

 

WASHINGTON – August 4, 2008 - Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: LQDT; www.liquidityservicesinc.com) today reported its financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2008 (Q3-08).  Liquidity Services, Inc. (LSI or the Company) is a leading online auction marketplace for wholesale, surplus and salvage assets.

 

The Company reported record consolidated Q3-08 revenue of $71.5 million, a growth rate of approximately 36% over the prior year.  Adjusted EBITDA for Q3-08 was a record $8.2 million, a growth rate of approximately 41% over the prior year.  Q3-08 GMV, the total sales volume of all merchandise sold through the Company’s marketplaces during a given period, was a record $104.2 million, a growth rate of approximately 67% over the prior year.

 

Net income in Q3-08 was $3.8 million or $0.14 diluted earnings per share.  Adjusted net income in Q3-08 was a record $4.5 million or $0.16 adjusted diluted earnings per share, a growth rate of approximately 33% over the prior year.

 

The Company’s ability to create liquid marketplaces for wholesale, surplus and salvage assets generates a continuous flow of goods from its corporate and government sellers.  This flow of goods in turn attracts an increasing number of professional buyers to the marketplaces.

 

“Q3-08 was a record quarter for LSI as we grew GMV in all major areas of our business and completed the acquisition of Geneva in May,” said Bill Angrick, Chairman and CEO of LSI.  “Despite a weakening economy, LSI grew consolidated GMV by 67% over the prior year period, or 29% excluding the acquired GovDeals and Geneva businesses, and generated cash from operating activities of approximately $5.5 million during the quarter.  Our surplus business GMV grew approximately 35% over the prior year period and our scrap business GMV grew approximately 51% over the prior year period and 27% sequentially. Our commercial business GMV grew approximately 18% over the prior period driven by strong GMV growth in the consignment model, which was up 18% sequentially during the quarter and 28% over the prior year, while our purchase model was consistent over the same periods.  The GovDeals acquisition added $20.9 million in consignment GMV for the quarter, significantly ahead of plan.  Our business development activity remains strong, exemplified by the closing of the Geneva Group acquisition, which strengthens our position in the European commercial marketplace.  Our buyer marketplace continues to deliver strong results for our sellers as we ended the quarter with over 948,000 registered buyers, which is up approximately 46% over the prior year period, including the addition of a record 56,000 new registered buyers in the third quarter.”

Business Outlook

 

The following forward-looking statements assume that current business trends and our operating environment continue, including (i) improvement in margins and product mix in our commercial business, (ii) continued improvement in inventory turnover within our commercial marketplace, (iii) start-up costs associated with the opening of our new distribution center in Bentonville, Arkansas, (iv) a seasonal slow down in the fourth quarter, and (v) our belief that we have yet to realize the full potential of our distribution center network, personnel, and value-added services necessary to support a much larger commercial business in the future, which has resulted in less than our target profitability.  Our results may be materially affected by changes in business trends and our operating environment, as well as by other factors, including investments we expect to make in our infrastructure and value-added services to support new business in both commercial and public sector markets.

 

Our Scrap Contract with the 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 earned $1.4 million under this incentive feature for the 12 months ended June 30, 2008 and we recorded this amount in the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  We are eligible to receive this incentive in each year of the term of the Scrap contract.

 

Under our Surplus contract there are incentive features that allow us to earn up to an additional 4.5% of the profit sharing distribution above our base rate of 26%.  This incentive is measured quarterly during fiscal year 2008.  For the purposes of providing guidance regarding our projected financial results for the next quarter and fiscal year 2008, we have assumed that we will receive a portion of the Surplus Contract incentive payments.

 

Our guidance adjusts EBITDA and Diluted EPS for the effects of the adoption of FAS 123(R), which we estimate to be approximately $1.2 million to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

 

GMV – We expect GMV for fiscal year 2008 to range from $354 million to $356 million.  We expect GMV for Q4-08 to range from $94 million to $96 million.

 

Adjusted EBITDA – Our expected Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2008 is unchanged from prior guidance.  We expect Adjusted EBITDA for Q4-08 to range from $6.7 million to $6.9 million.

 

Adjusted Diluted EPS – Our estimated Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share for fiscal year 2008 is unchanged from prior guidance.  In Q4-08, we estimate Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share to be $0.13.

Key Q3-08 Operating Metrics

 

Registered Buyers — At the end of Q3-08, registered buyers totaled approximately 948,000 including GovDeals and Geneva, representing a 46% increase over the approximately 649,000 registered buyers at the end of Q3-07.

 

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), increased to 499,000, including GovDeals and two months of Geneva, in Q3-08, an approximately 73% increase over the approximately 287,000 auction participants in Q3-07.

 

Completed Transactions — Completed transactions increased to 108,000 including GovDeals and two months of Geneva, an approximately 101% increase for Q3-08 from the approximately 54,000 completed transactions in Q3-07.

 

GMV and Revenue Mix — GMV continues to diversify due to the continued rapid growth in our scrap businesses and the addition of GovDeals.  As a result, the percentage of GMV derived from the DoD Surplus Contract (under which we utilize the profit-sharing model) during Q3-08 decreased to 20.4% compared to 25.3% in the prior year period.  The table below summarizes GMV and revenue by pricing model.

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 (a) interest expense (income) and other expense (income), net; (b) provision for income taxes; (c) amortization of contract intangibles; and (d) depreciation and amortization. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for stock compensation expense.

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 and 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 because the measures 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 non-GAAP measures included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, can 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.
