TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colliers International Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CIGI) (TSX:CIG) today reported solid financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016. All amounts are in US dollars.
Revenues for the third quarter were $462.1 million, a 10% increase (11% in local currency (note 3)) relative to the same quarter in the prior year and Adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $37.6 million, down from a strong $43.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EPS (note 2) was $0.40, relative to $0.52 in the prior year period. GAAP Operating Earnings were $23.6 million, relative to $29.8 million in the prior year and GAAP EPS was $0.24 per share, versus $0.20 per share for the same quarter a year ago.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, revenues were $1.32 billion, a 13% increase (16% in local currency) relative to the comparable prior year period and Adjusted EBITDA was $112.6 million, up 10% (13% in local currency). Adjusted EPS was $1.22, up 1% versus the prior year period. Year-to-date Adjusted EPS would have been approximately $0.04 higher excluding foreign exchange impacts. GAAP Operating Earnings were $70.1 million, relative to $15.4 million in the prior year period and GAAP EPS was $0.61 per share, compared to a loss of $0.37 per share in the prior year period. Similarly, year-to-date GAAP EPS would have been approximately $0.04 higher excluding changes in foreign exchange rates. Prior year GAAP Operating Earnings and GAAP EPS results included one-time charges related to the separation from FirstService Corporation completed on June 1, 2015.
“Colliers delivered solid results in the third quarter despite challenging market conditions in the UK and Europe, highlighting the strength of our geographic and service line diversification,” said Jay S. Hennick, Chairman and CEO of Colliers International. “We completed three acquisitions during the quarter, two in the Americas and one in EMEA and just after the quarter ended, we added a fourth in the UK. We also appointed a new member to our board of directors, adding Canada’s former Prime Minister Stephen Harper who brings a wealth of experience as a former G7 leader. Most importantly, our strategy remains focused on building Colliers over the long term - investing prudently and strategically, and leveraging our strong balance sheet to capture opportunities as they present themselves. Assuming stable market conditions and with our strong pipelines currently in place, we expect to exceed the results reported in the fourth quarter of 2015,” he concluded.

Consolidated revenues for the third quarter grew 11% on a local currency basis, with each service line contributing strongly with the exception of Sales Brokerage which was up only 3%. Consolidated internal revenue growth in local currencies was 1% (note 3) with the balance coming from acquisitions completed during the past year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, consolidated revenues grew 16% on a local currency basis with each service line contributing strongly. Year-to-date consolidated internal revenue growth in local currencies was 6% with the balance coming from acquisitions completed during the past year.
Segmented Quarterly Results
Revenues in the Americas region totalled $256.5 million for the third quarter compared to $223.9 million in the prior year quarter, up 15% (15% on a local currency basis). All local currency revenue growth came from recent acquisitions. Internal revenue growth was flat relative to the strong results reported in the prior year quarter, with a change in mix toward Outsourcing & Advisory services. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.6 million, versus $22.8 million in the prior year quarter. Margins were negatively impacted by a reduction in broker productivity resulting from smaller average transaction sizes, as well as a greater proportion of more stable Outsourcing & Advisory revenues which generate lower margins. GAAP Operating Earnings were $16.3 million, versus $17.9 million in the prior period.
EMEA region revenues totalled $106.6 million for the third quarter compared to $107.6 million in the prior year quarter, down 1% (up 4% on a local currency basis). Local currency revenue growth was comprised of a 1% internal decline and 5% growth from recent acquisitions. Internal revenues were impacted by a decline in Sales Brokerage, reflecting both the strong comparative quarter in 2015 and the effect of the June 2016 “Brexit” referendum, largely offset by a 15% increase in Outsourcing & Advisory services revenues. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.5 million, versus $13.2 million in the prior year quarter, and was impacted primarily by the above-noted change in revenue mix. The GAAP Operating Loss was $0.4 million, versus Operating Earnings of $8.5 million in the prior year quarter.
Asia Pacific region revenues totalled $98.6 million for the third quarter compared to $88.5 million in the prior year quarter, up 12% (9% on a local currency basis), entirely from internal growth, with contributions from all three service lines. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.2 million versus $8.7 million in the prior year quarter. The prior year quarter results were impacted by recruiting costs and transaction costs for an acquisition that was ultimately not completed. GAAP Operating Earnings were $11.6 million, up from $6.8 million in the prior year period.
Global corporate costs were $2.6 million in the third quarter, relative to $1.7 million in the prior year period. The GAAP Operating Loss for the third quarter was $4.0 million, relative to $3.4 million in the prior period. Prior year costs were favourably impacted by foreign currency translation.

Notes
1. Reconciliation of net earnings (loss) from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other expense (income); (iii) interest expense; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) acquisition-related items; (vi) corporate costs allocated to spin-off; (vii) restructuring costs and (viii) stock-based compensation expense. We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our own operating performance and our ability to incur debt, as well as an integral part of our planning and reporting systems. Additionally, we use this measure in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We present adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because we believe such measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low capital intensity of the Company’s service operations. We believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings from continuing operations or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating adjusted EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA appears below.

2. Reconciliation of net earnings (loss) from continuing operations and diluted net earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations to adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share:
Adjusted earnings per share is defined as diluted net earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted for the effect, after income tax, of: (i) the non-controlling interest redemption increment; (ii) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions; (iii) acquisition-related items; (iv) corporate costs allocated to spin-off; (v) restructuring costs and (vi) stock-based compensation expense. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and enhances the comparability of operating results from period to period. Adjusted earnings per share is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating this non-GAAP measure may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings from continuing operations to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations to adjusted earnings per share appears below.

3. Local currency revenue growth rate and internal revenue growth rate measures
Percentage revenue variances presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our non-US dollar denominated operations to US dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the periods against which the current period results are being compared. Percentage revenue variances presented on an internal growth basis are calculated assuming acquired entities were owned for the entire current period as well as the entire prior period. Revenue from acquired entities is estimated based on the operating performance of each acquired entity for the year prior to the acquisition date. We believe that these revenue growth rate methodologies provide a framework for assessing the Company’s performance and operations excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. Since these revenue growth rate measures are not calculated under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.
