November 04, 2021

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Total Assets Under Management (AUM) of $159.9 billion
  • Long-term gross flows of $5.7 billion
  • Long-term net inflows of $0.1 billion
  • GAAP operating margin expands to 43.7%
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin expands to 50.8%1
  • GAAP net income of $1.00 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income with tax benefit of $1.25 per diluted share1
  • Board authorizes 13% increase in regular quarterly cash dividend

Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCTR) (“Victory Capital” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

“Adjusted EBITDA margins were greater than 50% for the past five consecutive quarters. Over that same period, we generated sequential growth in revenue and earnings, and set new records for both in the third quarter,” said David Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The third quarter also marked our second consecutive quarter of achieving positive net flows. Additionally during the quarter we announced the launch of our alternative investments platform with the acquisition of New Energy Capital.

“Today, we also disclosed plans to become a leader in the growing SMA market segment with the acquisition of WestEnd Advisors—a fast growing third-party ETF model specialist. Combining WestEnd’s excellent investment performance with the depth and breadth of our established distribution creates a tremendous opportunity to accelerate organic growth and create substantial value.

“We continued to allocate capital to reduce debt in the third quarter, and lowered our net leverage ratio to 1.3x. At the same time, we also increased our cash position to help fund the NEC acquisition, which closed earlier this week. For the WestEnd acquisition, fully committed debt financing is already in place. Additionally, our Board declared another increase in our quarterly cash dividend, which was raised to $0.17 per share.

“Importantly, as always, we continued to focus on our top priority which is generating strong investment performance and serving our clients.”

1 The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not defined by GAAP and should not be regarded as an alternative to any measurement under GAAP.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Victory Capital uses non-GAAP financial measures referred to as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to measure the operating profitability of the Company. These measures eliminate the impact of one-time acquisition, restructuring and integration costs and demonstrate the ongoing operating earnings metrics of the Company. The Company has included these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with the same financial metrics used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjustments made to GAAP Net Income to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, are:

  • Adding back income tax expense;
  • Adding back interest paid on debt and other financing costs, net of interest income;
  • Adding back depreciation on property and equipment;
  • Adding back other business taxes;
  • Adding back amortization expense on acquisition-related intangible assets;
  • Adding back stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards issued from pools created in connection with the management-led buyout and various acquisitions and as a result of equity grants related to the IPO;
  • Adding back direct incremental costs of acquisitions, including restructuring costs;
  • Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
  • Adjusting for earnings/losses on equity method investments.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjustments made to GAAP Net Income to calculate Adjusted Net Income, as applicable, are:

  • Adding back other business taxes;
  • Adding back amortization expense on acquisition-related intangible assets;
  • Adding back stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards issued from pools created in connection with the management-led buyout and various acquisitions and as a result of any equity grants related to the IPO;
  • Adding back direct incremental costs of acquisitions, including restructuring costs;
  • Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
  • Subtracting an estimate of income tax expense applied to the sum of the adjustments above.

Tax Benefit of Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

Due to Victory Capital’s acquisitive nature, tax deductions allowed on acquired intangible assets and goodwill provide it with additional significant supplemental economic benefit. The tax benefit of goodwill and intangible assets represent the tax benefits associated with deductions allowed for intangible assets and goodwill generated from prior acquisitions in which the Company received a step-up in basis for tax purposes. Acquired intangible assets and goodwill may be amortized for tax purposes, generally over a 15-year period. The tax benefit from amortization on these assets is included to show the full economic benefit of deductions for all acquired intangible assets with a step-up in tax basis.
