LIQUIDITY SERVICES, INC. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2009 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

–      Fiscal year revenue of $236.3 million down 11% – Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $356.0 million down 1% - Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $23.6 million down 10% –

– Fourth quarter revenue of $62.9 million down 11% – GMV of $92.1 million down 8% - Adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 million even with last year –

 

WASHINGTON – December 3, 2009 - Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: LQDT; www.liquidityservicesinc.com) today reported its financial results for its fiscal year (FY-09) and fourth quarter (Q4-09) ended September 30, 2009.  Liquidity Services, Inc. provides business and government clients and buying customers transparent, innovative and effective online marketplaces and integrated services for surplus assets.

 

Liquidity Services, Inc. (LSI or the Company) reported consolidated FY-09 revenue of $236.3 million, a decrease of approximately 11% from the prior year.  Adjusted EBITDA for FY-09 was $23.6 million, a decrease of approximately 10% from the prior year.  FY-09 GMV, the total sales volume of all merchandise sold through the Company’s marketplaces, was $356.0 million, a decrease of approximately 1% from the prior year.

 

The Company reported consolidated Q4-09 revenue of $62.9 million, a decrease of approximately 11% from the prior year’s comparable period.  Adjusted EBITDA for Q4-09 was $7.1 million, which was even with the prior year’s comparable period.  GMV was $92.1 million for Q4-09, a decrease of approximately 8% from the prior year’s comparable period.

 

Net income in FY-09 was $5.7 million or $0.21 diluted earnings per share.  Adjusted net income in FY-09 was $8.4 million, a decrease of approximately 41% from the prior year, or $0.30 adjusted diluted earnings per share.  Net income in Q4-09 was $0.6 million or $0.02 diluted earnings per share.  Adjusted net income in Q4-09 was $0.9 million, a decrease of approximately 73% from the prior year’s comparable period, or $0.03 adjusted diluted earnings per share.  Net income and adjusted net income for the year and the fourth quarter were adversely affected by a sharp increase in the Company’s effective income tax rate (from 46% to 58% for the year and 85% for the fourth quarter) due to the recording of an allowance, during the fourth quarter, against the deferred tax assets of our UK subsidiary, consisting principally of net operating loss carryforwards. This does not affect cash taxes and excluding this tax adjustment, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter would have been $0.11 and $0.38 for the year.

 

We estimate that our future effective income tax rate will be approximately 46%, which is comprised of (1) approximately 35% for federal taxes, (2) approximately 8% for state taxes, and (3) approximately 3% for book and tax differences including stock based compensation expenses, primarily related to employee stock options, which are currently expensed in our financial statements but are not deductable for tax purposes until they are exercised.

 

“LSI generated solid results during Q4-09 in line with our guidance range during a seasonally low quarter for the Company.  GMV was up slightly (2%) sequentially, driven by better than expected property mix and volume in our scrap business.  Adjusted EBITDA was in line with our expectations, although we incurred higher than expected losses in our UK business due to slower than expected ramp up from new sellers following the loss of our largest UK seller last quarter due to their restructuring,” said Bill Angrick, Chairman and CEO of LSI.

 

“Fiscal Year 2009 was a year with two distinct halves for LSI.  The first two quarters of the year were challenging for the business as: (i) our commercial and municipal government sellers were severely impacted by the economic downturn resulting in a material decrease in product flow through our marketplaces; (ii) our scrap business was down more than 46% as a result of a precipitous decline in commodity prices; and (iii) our new Surplus Contract was delayed until February 2009.  During this period of uncertainty, LSI remained focused on executing our key initiatives to ensure the Company was well positioned to drive long term results for shareholders, including: (i) the successful launch of our new Surplus contract, (ii) improving operations and service levels in our commercial business, (iii) expanding the size and participation of our buyer base and (iv) making our marketplaces easier to use.  The results of these efforts are reflected in the second half of FY09.  Adjusted EBITDA grew 112% in the second half of the year compared to the first half.  In addition, Adjusted EBITDA margin improved significantly from 6.5% of revenue and 4.4% of GMV in the first half of the year to 13.2% and 8.8%, respectively for the second half of the year.  We believe our continued focus on driving operational efficiencies, investing in innovation and enhancing value for our clients and buying customers positions us well for fiscal year 2010 and continued long term profitable growth and market leadership.” said Mr. Angrick.

 



 

“The operational foundation we created in the second half of FY-09 and our financial strength will enable us to emerge as an even stronger player in the reverse supply chain market during FY-10,” said Mr. Angrick. “We plan to focus on the following key areas during FY-10 which we believe will build long term value for our stockholders: (i) increase the number of Fortune 1000 and municipal government clients selling on our platform through expanded direct sales efforts and channel partner relationships, (ii) develop new buyer channels and offerings to optimize the net recovery for our clients, (iii) strengthen the branding of our services and e-commerce marketplaces to buyers and sellers  and (iv) continue to enhance operations and service levels to improve the customer experience.”

Business Outlook

 

While we are pleased with our recent progress, our overall outlook remains cautious due to the economic environment and its impact on the retail supply chain. We are in a period of economic uncertainty and unprecedented market volatility which makes it more difficult for us to forecast business trends and the timing of selected new programs, resulting in a wider than usual guidance range. In the short term, we believe changes in consumer spending patterns may reduce the overall supply of goods in the reverse supply chain and the volume and value of goods sold in our commercial marketplace. In the longer term, we expect our business to benefit from the following trends: (i) as consumers trade down and seek greater value, we anticipate stronger buyer demand for the surplus merchandise sold in our marketplaces, (ii) as corporations and public sector agencies focus on reducing costs, improving transparency and working capital flows by outsourcing reverse supply chain activities we expect our seller base to increase, and (iii) as corporations and public sector agencies increasingly prefer service providers with a proven track record and demonstrated financial strength, we expect our competitive position to strengthen.

 

The following forward looking statements reflect the following trends and assumptions for the next quarter and FY 2010:

 

(i)            stabilized commodity prices in our scrap business;

(ii)           stabilized average sales prices realized in our commercial, state and local government marketplaces;

(iii)          the wind down of property sales under our original Surplus Contract in the second quarter;

(iv)          The loss of approximately $16 million in GMV in our surplus business compared to FY2009 related to the removal of certain property categories by the Government under the terms of our new Surplus Contract.

(v)           an effective income tax rate of 46%;

(vi)          improved operations and service levels in our commercial business, which we expect will continue to improve margins during the fiscal year; and

(vii)         our expectation that we will achieve less than optimal results in our U.K. business in the near term as we replace the lost volume from one of our major U.K. clients, which restructured their business.

 

Our results may also be materially affected by changes in business trends and our operating environment, and by other factors, such as, investments in infrastructure and value-added services to support new business in both commercial and public sector markets.

 

Our Scrap contract with the DoD includes an incentive feature, which can increase the amount of profit sharing distribution we receive from 23% up to 25%.  Payments under this incentive feature are based on the amount of scrap we sell for the DoD to small businesses during the preceding 12 months as of June 30th of each year.  We are eligible to receive this incentive in each year of the term of the Scrap contract and have assumed for purposes of providing guidance regarding our projected financial results for fiscal year 2010 that we will again receive this incentive payment.

 

GMV – We expect GMV for fiscal year 2010 to range from $360 million to $400 million.  We expect GMV for Q1-10 to range from $82 million to $92 million.

 

Adjusted EBITDA – We expect Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2010 to range from $26 million to $30 million.  We expect Adjusted EBITDA for Q1-10 to range from $6.0 million to $7.0 million.

 

Adjusted Diluted EPS – We estimate Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share for fiscal year 2010 to range from $0.40 to $0.48.  In Q1-10, we estimate Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share to be $0.09 to $0.11.

 

Our guidance adjusts EBITDA and Diluted EPS for the effects of FAS 123(R), which we estimate to be approximately $2.0 million to $2.2 million per quarter for fiscal year 2010.  The Company expects its trend of increasing stock based compensation costs to moderate in fiscal year 2011.

Liquidity Services, Inc.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net income less (a) interest income and other income, net; plus (b) provision for income taxes; (c) amortization of contract intangibles; and (d) depreciation and amortization. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for stock based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP Measures

 

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with 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.

 

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 generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.  A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, can 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 generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
