Radiant Logistics Announces Results for the Second Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2015

BELLEVUE, Wash., Feb. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: RLGT), a third party logistics and multi-modal transportation services company, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015.

Second quarter Financial Highlights (Quarter Ended December 31, 2015)

• Revenues increased to $207.0 million, up $101.0 million, or 95.3% compared to revenues of $105.9 million for the comparable prior year period.
• Net revenues increased to $47.6 million, up $20.0 million, or 72.5%, compared to net revenues of $27.6 million for the comparable prior year period.
• Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2.5 million, or $0.05 per basic and fully diluted share for the second fiscal quarter of 2016, which included a $2.2 million net non-recurring non-cash impairment of acquired intangibles in connection with its acquisition of On Time Express Inc. ("OTE"), compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per basic and fully diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
• Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $3.0 million, or $0.06 per basic and fully diluted share for the second fiscal quarter of 2016, compared to adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per basic and fully diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Both periods are calculated by applying a normalized tax rate of 36% and excluding other items not considered part of regular operating activities.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 65.0% to $6.2 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million in the comparable prior year period. Normalizing these results to exclude $0.7 million in non-recurring transition costs associated with the interim operation of Service By Air's back-office operations, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $6.9 million for the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2016.

Network Expansion – Acquisitions

On November 2, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Copper Logistics, Incorporated, a Minneapolis, Minnesota based company that provides a full range of domestic and international transportation and logistics services across North America. The Company has structured the transaction similar to previous acquisitions, with a portion of the expected purchase price payable in subsequent periods based on future performance of the acquired operation.

Stock Buy-Back

On January 7, 2016, the Company announced that its board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to five million shares of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had 48,743,581 shares outstanding.

CEO Comments

"We are very pleased to report record results for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and our continuing trend of profitable growth," said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO. We posted revenues of $207.0 million, up $101.0 million or 95.3%; net revenues of $47.6 million, up $20.0 million, or 72.5%; and adjusted EBITDA of $6.2 million, up $2.4 million or 65.0%, over the comparable prior year period. We also continue to make good progress in leveraging our personnel and general administrative costs as a function of our net revenues with our adjusted EBITDA (normalized to exclude the non-recurring transitions costs associated with the operation of Service by Air's back-office operations), as a percentage of net revenues, improving 100 basis points from 13.5% to 14.5% for the comparable prior year period. In addition, we also reported record cash from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2015 of $15.7 million." 

"These record results are inclusive of some isolated challenges we encountered with On Time Express ("OTE"), our Phoenix based line haul operation which reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $473,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to an adjusted EBITDA contribution of $705,000 for the comparable prior year period as a result of the loss of a significant piece of business from one of its customers. Excluding OTE's adjusted EBITDA loss of $473,000, we would have reported normalized adjusted EBITDA of $7,362,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. We have moved aggressively to right-size the organization and we expect OTE to return to profitability over the second half of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.  In addition, we wrote off the remaining $0.3 million in contingent earn-out payments and recognized a $3.7 million pre-tax loss on impairment of the acquired intangible assets we were carrying on our books in connection with that acquisition. More broadly, the balance of our platform continues to deliver solid results and excluding the impact of OTE, generated organic growth in net revenues of approximately 7.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015."

Crain continued: "There is obviously a fair bit of economic uncertainty as we head into the second half of our fiscal year. The good news for Radiant is we sit in the strongest financial position in the Company's history: low leverage, a $65.0 million ABL facility that remains untapped, solid free cash flow and poised to take advantage of market opportunities as they present themselves. We also remain committed to our long standing strategy to deliver profitable growth through a combination of organic and acquisition growth initiatives. On the organic growth front we recently added Joe Bento to our leadership team and we are excited about his impact on the organization going forward. On the acquisition side, we continue to focus on tuck-in acquisitions with a particular interest in buying agent station locations both inside and outside our network. Given the current weakness in our stock price we also announced a stock buy earlier this year and will be continuing to evaluate the repurchase of up to 5 million shares of our stock as we consider how best to allocate our capital. In addition, should we choose, starting in April of this year we have the opportunity to use our ABL facility (LIBOR+ 150) to pay off $25.0 million of sub debt at a rate of 10.5%. This would represent approximately $2.0 million in annual pre-tax savings to the Company. In short, we continue to be very bullish on Radiant's current position and long term prospects and we enjoy a number of levers to drive shareholder value."

"With respect to our guidance for fiscal 2016 and assuming the economy continues to hold, we believe adjusted EBITDA in line with current consensus estimates of approximately $30.0 million is still achievable. Given the possibility of further softening in the economy, we are updating our guidance to reflect adjusted EBITDA in the range of $28.0 – $30.0 million. Based on the recent deterioration in fuel price, which is generally a pass through in our business, we are also reducing our guidance for top line revenues to $836.0 – $852.0 million with net revenues of $188.8 – $192.4 million. This equates to adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders in the range of $9.9 – $11.2 million, or $0.20 – $0.23 per basic and fully diluted share and does not give effect for the potential benefit in interest expense available to us if we ultimately choose to use our ABL facility to retire our $25.0 million in sub debt."

Second quarter ended December 31, 2015 – Financial Results

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, Radiant reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2,527,000 on $207.0 million of revenues, or $0.05 per basic and fully diluted share, including a $2.2 million net non-recurring non-cash impairment of acquired intangibles in connection with its acquisition of OTE.

Normalizing these results to exclude $0.7 million in non-recurring transition costs associated with the interim operation of Service by Air's back-office operations, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $6.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

Normalizing these results to exclude $1.4 million in non-recurring transition costs associated with the interim operation of Service by Air's back-office operations, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $15.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

RADIANT LOGISTICS, INC.
Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Reconciliation of Net Income per share to Adjusted Net Income per share
(unaudited)

As used in this report, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented herein because they are important metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the performance of the ongoing operations of Radiant's business. For Adjusted Net Income, management uses a 36% tax rate for calculating the provision for income taxes before preferred dividend requirement to normalize Radiant's tax rate to that of its competitors and to compare Radiant's reporting periods with different effective tax rates. In addition, in arriving at Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, the Company adjusts for significant items that are not part of regular operating activities. These adjustments include acquisition costs, transition, severance and lease termination costs, non-recurring litigation expenses as well as depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash charges.

Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before preferred stock dividends, interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which is then further adjusted for changes in contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, severance and lease termination costs, extraordinary items, share based compensation expense, non-recurring litigation expenses and other non-cash charges. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, as presented, represents a useful method of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as it reflects our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges and other non-recurring charges. We understand that although securities analysts frequently use EBITDA in their evaluation of companies, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any of the consolidated statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as an indication of Radiant's operating performance or liquidity. Normalized Adjusted EBITDA represents the Adjusted EBITDA but also adds back transition costs associated with the SBA back-office that is projected to be eliminated as Radiant's back office in Bellevue Washington will absorb these services.

 

 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Preliminary Guidance
