“We were encouraged by solid GTV growth in the US as a result of new customer acquisition in Strategic Accounts, 9% online GTV growth globally as Marketplace-E continued to build momentum, and a 32% revenue increase for RBFS in the quarter which was its 28th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. We also achieved excellent operational metrics including 6 million unique visitors to our websites, up 17% versus prior year enhancing our network effects.” said Ravi Saligram, Chief Executive Officer, Ritchie Bros.
Saligram continued, “We delivered 3% Total Company GTV growth on a constant currency basis, with Total Revenues up 17% driven by a higher mix of inventory sales revenue and delivered 6% earnings per share growth. An inflection in pricing in certain asset classes unfavorably affected underwritten business performance at our Orlando and Moerdijk auctions but we are confident of returning to normal At-Risk rates as we go forward. We were pleased to improve our operating cash flow and continue to be disciplined on cost control allowing us to continue to pay down debt to achieve an adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio* of 1.7 times.”
Saligram concluded, “Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we expect gradual easing of supply constraints as the year progresses while recognizing that we remain in a high demand environment for equipment with high utilization rates, a reflection of the resurgent US economy. We remain positive about delivering strong earnings growth in the remainder of 2019.”
1 Gross Transaction Value (“GTV”) represents total proceeds from all items sold at the Company’s live on site auctions and online marketplaces. GTV is not a measure of financial performance, liquidity, or revenue, and is not presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company presents both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to provide investors with additional information. Providing these non-GAAP measures along with GAAP measures allows for increased comparability of our ongoing performance from period to period. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this news release are labeled as “non-GAAP measure” or designated as such with an asterisk (*). Please see page 9-10 for explanations of why the Company uses these non-GAAP measures and, if applicable, the reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Consolidated Performance Overview
GTV increased 1% to $1.2 billion; excluding the impact of foreign exchange, GTV increased 3%. GTV from live on site auctions was flat partly due to the Q1 2018 Grande Prairie auction of $37 million that did not repeat in Q1 2019, offset by growth in live on site auctions in the US and Europe. Online marketplaces GTV posted consecutive quarter growth delivering a 9% increase in the first quarter.
Total revenue increased 17% to $303.4 million primarily
due to a 56% increase in inventory sales revenue, partially offset by a 2% decrease in service revenue.
Inventory sales revenue increased 56% primarily due to an increase in volume of inventory sales contracts in the US and Europe.
The decline in service revenue resulted from a 9% decrease in commissions revenue offset by a 7% increase in fees. Lower commissions were attributable to lower price realization on guarantee contracts as well as a decrease in the volume of straight commission contracts. The lower rates earned from guarantee contracts were partially due to softer price performance on specific assets in greater supply at the 2019 Orlando auction. Fee revenue increased 7% due to moderately higher GTV volume with an increased proportion of low value lots, online inspection fees and fees earned from RBFS.
Foreign exchange had an unfavourable impact on total revenue in Q1 2019 due to fluctuations in the Euro and Canadian exchange rate relative to the U.S. dollar.
Costs of services decreased 2% to $36.1 million compared to $36.7 million in Q1 2018 which was in-line with the change in GTV.
| Ritchie Bros. | 3 |
Cost of inventory sold increased 59% to $120.5 million, in line with higher activity in inventory sales revenue. A contributing factor to the higher cost of inventory sold in the quarter resulted from discrete lower price performance on certain categories of equipment which was in greater supply at the February 2019 Orlando auction.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 2% to $95.2 million compared to $97.5 million in Q1 2018. The decrease was primarily due to higher share unit expenses in Q1 2018 related to mark-to-market costs driven by growth in the share price and incremental compensation cost resulting from the modification of certain performance factors. The decrease was partially offset by on-going incremental costs related to the GovPlanet non-rolling stock program and growth of RBFS.
Foreign exchange rates had a favourable impact on SG&A expenses in the quarter primarily due to fluctuations of the Euro and Canadian dollar exchange rate relative to the U.S. dollar.
Net income attributable to stockholders increased $1.0 million, or 6%, from $17.1 million in Q1 2018 due to higher operating income coupled with lower net interest expenses. This increase was partially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate.
Primarily for the same reasons noted above, diluted EPS attributable to stockholders improved 6% to $0.17 in Q1 2019 compared to $0.16 in Q1 2018.
New Accounting Standard
The Company adopted the new accounting standard related to lease accounting effective January 1, 2019. Prior periods presented here have not been restated as the Company adopted the new standard utilizing the “optional transition method,” which permits the Company to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date.
Dividend Information
Quarterly dividend
The Company declared on May 8, 2019, a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per common share payable on June 19, 2019 to shareholders of record on May 29, 2019.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release references a non-GAAP measure. Non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The non-GAAP measure diluted adjusted EPS attributable to
stockholders* eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items which are after-tax effects of significant non-recurring items
that we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results, such as acquisition-related costs, management reorganization
costs, and certain other items, which we refer to as ‘adjusting items’.
There were no adjusting items in Q1 2019 or in the comparative prior period, and, accordingly, diluted adjusted EPS attributable
to stockholders* was equal to diluted EPS attributable to stockholders, the most comparable GAAP measure in our consolidated income
statements, for Q1 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA*
Reconciliation
The Company believe that comparing adjusted net debt/adjusted EBITDA* on a trailing 12-month basis for different financial periods
provides useful information about the performance of our operations as an indicator of the amount of time it would take the Company
to settle both the short and long-term debt. The Company does not consider this to be a measure of liquidity, which is the ability
to settle only short-term obligations, but rather a measure of how well we fund liquidity.
The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA* and adjusted net debt*/adjusted EBITDA* to debt, cash and cash equivalents, net income, and debt as a multiple of net income, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our consolidated financial statements.
