LIQUIDITY SERVICES ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

·                  Fourth Quarter GMV of $159.1 million — Revenue of $78.5 million — Net GAAP Loss of $53.8 million

·                  Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $(0.7) million

·                  Fiscal Year GMV of $642.1 million — Revenue of $316.5 million — Net GAAP Loss of $59.9 million

·                  Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million

·                  Net GAAP Loss includes $19.0 million goodwill impairment and $35.8 million income tax valuation allowance charge

·                  IronDirect.com marketplace targeting construction vertical launched on new LiquidityOne e-commerce platform

 

WASHINGTON — November 17, 2016 - Liquidity Services (NASDAQ: LQDT; www.liquidityservices.com), a global solution provider in the reverse supply chain with the world’s largest marketplace for business surplus, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016 ended September 30, 2016. Q4-16 results were within the company’s guidance range for GMV and above the guidance range for Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS. As a result of a non-cash goodwill impairment and a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, GAAP Net Income and GAAP Diluted EPS were below the guidance range.

 

“We delivered solid financial results during Q4-16 with better than expected bottom line results driven by improved pricing in our scrap and energy marketplaces and higher service revenues,” said Bill Angrick, Chairman and CEO of Liquidity Services. “Compared to the prior year, our energy marketplace (NetworkIntl.com) GMV was up 45%, our municipal government business (GovDeals.com) GMV was up 13%, and our retail (Liquidation.com) and industrial (Go-Dove.com) marketplaces experienced growth within key client accounts. Our DoD marketplace (GovLiquidation.com) GMV was down 12% reflecting lower volumes and a less favorable product mix. We expanded the scope of our e-commerce offerings by launching our new IronDirect marketplace in September which enables global fleet customers and end users to purchase new heavy equipment, attachments, undercarriage parts and accessories from proven suppliers in the global construction industry. With the deployment of our first marketplace on our new e-commerce platform in Q4-16, we have continued to advance our LiquidityOne transformation initiative and demonstrated the potential of our platform investments to capture new market opportunities. We expect to deploy our next marketplace in the spring of FY17 followed by phased rollouts thereafter,” continued Mr. Angrick.

 

“Our strategy remains focused on the long term growth of our commercial and municipal government marketplaces on a global scale. Our ongoing investment in top talent and the deployment of our new LiquidityOne platform will enable us to deliver more value to more customers and scale more efficiently.  We expect to resume organic top line growth in our commercial and municipal government marketplaces in FY17 fueled by growth in our buyer network, investments in our sales channels, expansion of our service offerings, and the phased release of our new e-commerce platform,” Mr. Angrick continued. “Our near term outlook reflects the normalization of our DoD programs under new contract pricing, investments to deploy our LiquidityOne platform, and new go-to-market programs for our commercial and municipal government businesses, including in new areas such as IronDirect. We expect these investments will drive long term growth and that our results will strengthen over the course of FY17 as we grow our business.”

 

Fourth Quarter Operating and Earnings Results

 

The company reported Q4-16 GMV, an operating measure of the total sales value of all merchandise sold through our marketplaces during the given period, of $159.1 million, a decrease of 6.8% from the prior year’s comparable period. Revenue for Q4-16 was $78.5 million, a decrease of 1.0% from the prior year’s comparable period. Net GAAP loss for Q4-16 was $53.8 million, which resulted in diluted loss per share of $1.75 based on a weighted average of 30.7 million diluted shares outstanding, representing a decrease of 23.0% and 20.2% respectively from the prior year’s comparable period. The net loss reflects a goodwill impairment charge of $19.0 million and a valuation allowance charge against the deferred tax assets of $35.8 million. The goodwill impairment was due to updated assumptions used in the fair value calculation. The valuation allowance is attributable to recent losses.

 

Non-GAAP adjusted net income decreased to $(0.6) million from $2.0 million in the prior year’s comparable period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased to $(0.02) from $0.07 in the prior year’s comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and gains or losses from business dispositions, decreased to $(0.7) million from $1.9 million in the prior year’s comparable period.

We exited Q4-16 with $134.5 million in cash and a debt free balance sheet.

 

Comparative financial results reflect the sale of Jacobs Trading, the significant downturn in commodity prices which have reduced prices and volume from our DoD scrap contract, the transition to the new DoD Surplus contract with higher product cost terms, and increased investment in our LiquidityOne transformation plan.

 

Fiscal Year Operating and Earnings Results

 

The company reported FY-16 GMV of $642.1 million, a decrease of 19.6% from the prior year’s comparable period. Revenue for FY-16 was $316.5 million, a decrease of 20.3% from the prior year’s comparable period. Net GAAP loss for FY-16 was $59.9 million, which resulted in diluted loss per share of $1.96 based on a weighted average of 30.6 million diluted shares outstanding, representing increases of 42.8% and 44.0%, respectively, from the prior year’s comparable period. The net loss reflects the goodwill impairment charge and valuation allowance charge taken in Q4-FY16.

 

Non-GAAP adjusted net income decreased to $(0.6) million from $18.1 million in the prior year’s comparable period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased to $(0.02) from $0.60 in the prior year’s comparable period.  Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $3.7 million, a decrease of 88.9% from the prior year’s comparable period.

Business Outlook

 

FY17 results are expected to benefit from growth in our commercial and municipal government marketplaces. Profitability for the year will be impacted by the normalization of our DoD programs under new contract pricing and investments to deploy our new LiquidityOne e-commerce platform and go-to-market programs for our commercial and municipal government marketplaces, including in new areas such as IronDirect. We anticipate completing the second phase of our marketplace rollout onto the new platform in the spring of 2017 followed by a tiered rollout of the remaining marketplaces which will carry over into 2018.

 

The following forward-looking statements reflect the following trends and assumptions for Q1-FY17:

(i)             continued investment spending under our LiquidityOne transformation initiative;

(ii)          increased cost of sales and lower volume and margins under our new DoD Surplus contract;

(iii)       seasonally lower volumes in our municipal government marketplace and steady year-over-year growth expected;

(iv)      continued signs of improved liquidity in our energy marketplace but continuing lower than average sales prices and margins;

(v)         strong deal flow in our commercial capital assets marketplaces related to both underwritten and consignment programs;

(vi)      investments in our sales teams to further accelerate new and expanded client relationships;

(vii)   growth in core accounts in our retail business;

(viii)      growth in core accounts in our IronDirect marketplace; and

(ix)  increased cost of sales and lower margins under our new DoD Scrap contract, and continued variability in commodities pricing, volumes received, and mix of metals.

 

For Q1-17 our guidance is as follows:

 

GMV — We expect GMV for Q1-17 to range from $150 million to $170 million.

 

GAAP Net Loss — We expect GAAP Net Income Loss for Q1-17 to range from $(13.0) million to $(10.0) million.

 

GAAP Diluted EPS - We expect GAAP diluted Loss Per Share for Q1-17 to range from $(0.41) to $(0.31).

 

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA —We estimate non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for Q1-17 to range from $(8.5) million to $(5.5) million.

 

Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS — We estimate non-GAAP Adjusted Loss Per Diluted Share for Q1-17 to range from $(0.31) to $(0.22). This guidance assumes that we have diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter of 31.8 million and that we will not repurchase shares with the approximately $10.1 million available under the share repurchase program.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net (loss) income plus interest and other expense, net; benefit for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, business realignment expenses, and gains or losses from business dispositions.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share. Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net income (loss) plus tax effected stock compensation expense, amortization of contract-related intangible assets associated with the Jacobs Trading acquisition, acquisition costs including changes in earn out estimates, and impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets.  Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share are determined using Adjusted Net (Loss) Income. For Q4-16 and FY16, the tax rate used to tax effect stock compensation expense, amortization of contract intangibles and acquisition costs was 24.7% which is the FY16 tax rate adjusted exclusive of the impact of the valuation allowance.

Non-GAAP Measures

 

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (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. Adjusted net income is used to arrive at EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculations, and adjusted EPS is the result of our adjusted net income and diluted shares outstanding.

 

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 GAAP, 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 GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
