RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The J.G. Wentworth Company® ("J.G. Wentworth" or the "Company") JGW, a diversified financial services company, today reports financial results for the first quarter 2016. "We are pleased with the improvements of business drivers in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter. Our Home Lending business exceeded expectations and we are looking forward to a bright future in the segment as we lay the foundation to scale the business. The Structured Settlement Payments business benefited from the actions taken to improve our cost structure and the marketing and operations initiatives are making an impact," said Stewart A. Stockdale, Chief Executive Officer, The J.G. Wentworth Company.

The following are highlights from the first quarter:

GAAP First Quarter 2016 Results:

  • Consolidated revenues were $66.6 million, a decrease of $20.2 million from the $86.8 million reported in the first quarter 2015. The decrease was due to a $42.1 million decline in the Structured Settlement Payments segment's ("Structured Settlements") revenue that was primarily the result of a decline in realized and unrealized gains on VIE and other finance receivables, long-term debt and derivatives. The decline was partially offset by $21.9 million in revenue generated by the Home Lending segment ("Home Lending") that we acquired on July 31, 2015.
    • The Company had $4.4 billion in VIE and other finance receivables, at fair value and $4.0 billion in VIE long-term debt issued by securitization and permanent financing trusts, at fair value as of March 31, 2016.
  • Consolidated net loss was $35.1 million compared to the $5.5 million consolidated net loss in the first quarter 2015. The $29.6 million unfavorable change was principally due to a $38.5 million increase in Structured Settlement's pre-tax loss driven by the $42.1 million decline in the segment's revenue, partially offset by a net $3.6 million reduction in Structured Settlement's operating expenses that have begun to reflect the benefits of our recently implemented cost savings initiatives. Partially offsetting the increase in Structured Settlement's pre-tax loss was Home Lending's $5.5 million in pre-tax income driven by $1.1 billion of locked loan volume and a $3.5 million favorable change in our consolidated provision (benefit) for income taxes.

Adjusted Non-GAAP* First Quarter 2016 Results:

  • Consolidated adjusted total revenues* were $57.1 million, a decrease of $5.3 million from $62.4 million in the first quarter 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $26.8 million decline in Structured Settlement's Spread Revenue* (i.e., realized & unrealized gains on unsecuritized finance receivables and related derivatives adjusted for the impact of prefundings) resulting from a decrease in Total Receivable Balances ("TRB") purchases and a combination of changes in cost of funds and purchase yields. Partially offsetting the decline in Structured Settlement's Spread Revenue* was $21.9 million in revenue generated by Home Lending.
    • Structured Settlement's guaranteed and life contingent structured settlement, annuity and lottery TRB purchases were $203.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, a $50.8 million decrease from $254.5 million in the first quarter of 2015.
    • Home Lending generated mortgage lock volume of $1,077.1 million and closed loan volume of $568.3 million in the first quarter of 2016.
  • Consolidated Adjusted Net Income ("ANI")* was a loss of $4.1 million compared to ANI* of $8.2 million in the first quarter 2015. The $12.3 million unfavorable change was due to an $18.2 million decline in Structured Settlement's ANI* that was principally the result of the $26.8 million decline in Spread Revenue*. Partially offsetting the decline in Structured Settlement's ANI* was $5.9 million in ANI* generated by Home Lending.
    • Consolidated Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA*") was $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $21.9 million for the first quarter of 2015.

Scott Stevens, J.G. Wentworth's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We continue to execute on our strategic initiatives including growing the Home Lending business, stabilizing the Structured Settlements segment and maintaining strong fiscal discipline, which contributed to the $5.0 million improvement in 2016's first quarter Adjusted EBITDA over the fourth quarter of 2015."

Operating Highlights

  • For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company generated Adjusted EBITDA* of $8.0 million and had cash and cash equivalents of $26.5 million as of March 31, 2016.
  • Expense initiatives are on target to realize $25-$30 million of annual savings; Structured Settlements' adjusted total expenses* decreased $9.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 from the first quarter of 2015.
  • In February 2016, we executed a direct asset sale of $161.3 million in discounted TRB purchases based on a discount rate of 5.02% that consisted of two pools. The first pool closed on February 18, 2016, consisted of $91.3 million of discounted TRB purchases and generated net cash proceeds to us of $27.0 million. The second pool closed on April 21, 2016, consisted of $70.0 million of discounted TRB purchases and generated net cash proceeds to us of $21.6 million.

Other News

The Company expects to receive notice from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") of being below the NYSE's continued listing standards. The Company is considered below criteria established by NYSE because the Company's average market capitalization was below $50 million over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, and its stockholders' equity being reported today was less than $50 million as of March 31, 2016. The Company intends to remain a listed company and plans to develop and submit a business plan to the NYSE demonstrating how it expects to regain compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards. The Company has reviewed the criteria for the NYSE-MKT, and, as an alternative, may also consider transferring its stock listing to the NYSE-MKT if that platform proves to be a better long-term option.

The NYSE notification does not affect the Company's business operations or its SEC reporting requirements and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company's material debt or other agreements.

Results for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, as well as our reconciliation of non-GAAP measures, are included in the accompanying financial information.

Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted EBITDA and other Non-GAAP Measures Used in this Release and the Related Presentation

We use the Non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Net (Loss) Income ("ANI") and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as measures of our results from operations. We define ANI as our net (loss) income under U.S. GAAP before non-cash compensation expenses, certain other expenses, provision for or benefit from income taxes, and for our Structured Settlement's segment, amounts related to the consolidation of the securitization and permanent financing trusts we use to finance the segment's business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as ANI before term loan interest expense, debt issuance costs, broker and legal fees incurred in connection with sale of finance receivables and depreciation and amortization. The Company believes ANI and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors and management as measures of our operating performance, as the operations of the associated variable interest entities do not impact the Structured Settlements segment's performance. In addition, the add-backs described above are consistent with adjustments permitted under our term loan agreement.

We also use the non-GAAP measures of total adjusted revenue and adjusted realized & unrealized gains on unsecuritized finance receivables and related derivatives ("Spread Revenue") as measures of our revenues, which we define as those measures under U.S. GAAP before the amounts related to the consolidation of the securitization and permanent financing trusts we use to finance our Structured Settlements business and adjusted for the impact of prefundings on unsecuritized finance receivables,as applicable. We also use the non-GAAP measure of adjusted total expense, which we define as total expense under U.S. GAAP before non-cash compensation expenses, certain other expenses, provision for or benefit from income taxes, and for our Structured Settlement's segment, amounts related to the consolidation of the securitization and permanent financing trusts we use to finance the segment's business. We use these measures because we believe they represent useful measures of our revenues and expenses, as the operations of these variable interest entities also do not impact business performance.

We use Adjusted Cash Flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as a measure of our cash flows from operations. We define Adjusted Cash Flow as it is presented on the accompanying table. The Company believes Adjusted Cash Flow is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that can be used to repay debt, invest in future growth or repurchase stock. This metric can also be used to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on the Company's liquidity.

You should not consider ANI, Adjusted EBITDA, Total Adjusted Revenue, Spread Revenue, Total Adjusted Expense, or Adjusted Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of ANI, Adjusted EBITDA, Total Adjusted Revenue, Spread Revenue, Total Adjusted Expense and Adjusted Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

A reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, which includes line items for Total Adjusted Revenue, Spread Revenue, and Total Adjusted Expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, is provided below. Certain prior period numbers have been reclassified to conform with current period's presentation.
