Radiant Logistics Announces Results For Third Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2014

BELLEVUE, Wash., May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: RLGT), a domestic and international logistics services company, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Third fiscal quarter Financial Highlights (Quarter Ended March 31, 2014)

• Net income attributable to common shareholders was approximately $1.1 million, on $86.0 million of revenues, or $0.03 per basic and fully diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $0.9 million on $72.8 million of revenues, or $0.03 per basic and fully diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. 
• Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders was $1.4 million, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2014, compared to adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Both periods are calculated by applying a normalized tax rate of 40% and excluding other items not considered part of regular operating activities.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.2% to $3,503,000 for the third fiscal quarter of 2014, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $2,988,000 in the comparable prior year period.

CEO Comments

"We are very pleased to report another solid quarter and continuing our trend of margin expansion and earnings growth," said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO. "We posted Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, up approximately $0.5 million and 17.2% over the comparable prior year period. Consistent with past quarters, we also continue to make good progress in leveraging our scalable business model to drive margin expansion. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a function of net revenues increased 80 basis points, up from 13.8% to 14.6% for the comparable prior year period. As we have previously discussed, our incremental cost of supporting that next dollar of gross margin is very small and we are very excited about our opportunity to drive further margin expansion as we continue to scale the business and look for ways to drive operating efficiencies in our non-asset based business model.

"We also continue to make good progress in our network expansion and in March of this year opened new operations in Philadelphia and completed a transaction with Phoenix Cartage and Airfreight, LLC ("PCA"). Prior to the acquisition, PCA operated as part of a competing national transportation group but saw value in transitioning to the Radiant network. We believe the transaction is representative of the broader pipeline of opportunities available to us in the marketplace and is further evidence of our ability to attract large individual contributors from competing networks who can benefit from the Radiant platform similar to our Laredo transaction (December 2011) and our NY-JFK transaction (February 2012)."

"In addition we recently had some positive developments on the legal front.  On April 25, 2014, a jury returned a verdict in the Company's favor in the amount of $1.5 million in connection with our claims for statutory and common law misappropriation of our trade secrets in the State of California, in the case emanating from our DBA acquisition in 2011.  Notwithstanding this positive development, the ultimate resolution of this dispute is not expected to occur until the appeals process has been exhausted by the non-prevailing party. Accordingly, we do not expect resolution of this matter in the near term and will not record the benefit of any such award into our financial statements until such time as the dispute has been fully adjudicated."

Crain concluded: "We are providing guidance for the upcoming quarter ending June 30, 2014 and excluding the benefit of any further acquisitions or any gain on litigation, we are projecting adjusted EBITDA in the range of $3.4 - $3.9 million on approximately $88.1 - $92.8 million in revenues which equates to adjusted net income available to common shareholders in the range of $1.4 - $1.7 million, or $0.04 - $0.05 per basic and $0.04 per fully diluted share. As with our previous communications, we would also like to remind investors that our free cash flow is generally higher than our net income because we have significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses flowing through our financial statements as a result of the mechanics of accounting for acquisitions and the fact that we have minimal maintenance capital expenditure requirements."

Network Expansion – Philadelphia, PA

Effective March 1, 2014, the Company opened company-owned operations in Philadelphia, PA and acquired select customer relationships from Phoenix Cartage and Airfreight, LLC, a privately held company that provides customized, time-critical domestic and international logistics solutions to a diversified account base that includes customers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, store fixture, retail and consumer goods industries from its mid-Atlantic gateway location near the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

Other Significant Events

On April 25, 2014, a jury returned a verdict in the Company's favor in the amount of $1.5 million in connection with its claims for statutory and common law misappropriation of its trade secrets in the State of California in the case Bretta Santini Pollara v. Radiant Logistics, Inc., United States District Court, Central District of California. Notwithstanding this positive development, the verdict remains subject to a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict made by the defendants. Any procedural motions that are decided in a manner inconsistent with the jury verdict will likely be appealed.  The ultimate resolution of this dispute is not expected to occur in the near term given that the non-prevailing party will likely make further appeal. Accordingly, the Company will not record the benefit of any such award into its financial statements until such time as the dispute has been fully adjudicated.

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 40% 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 difference 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.
