“We achieved exceptionally strong results in 2022 in the face of historically challenging market conditions,” said David Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We generated record high GAAP operating income and earnings per diluted share for the year, exceeding prior records set in 2021. Moreover, our full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA margin remained healthy at 49.6% marking the second highest annual level ever achieved. These results exemplify superb execution and focus by our team.

“Our investment professionals continued to deliver excellent investment performance for clients. At year end, the percentage of our AUM outperforming benchmarks over the respective 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was 84%, 79%, and 79%. In addition, the mutual funds and ETFs rated four- or five-stars overall represented 62% of our Fund AUM.

“We returned more capital to shareholders in 2022 than in any year since we have been a public company. Through the repurchase of 4.6 million shares and $69 million in cash dividends, we returned more than $200 million of capital to our shareholders during the year. Additionally, we reduced debt by $150 million during the year to maintain flexibility to pursue inorganic growth opportunities.

“As always, we continue to focus on serving our clients, which is our top priority.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Compared with Third Quarter 2022

Revenue decreased 2.8% to $201.5 million, in the fourth quarter, compared with $207.3 million in the third quarter, primarily due to lower average AUM, which decreased 2.7% from $158.9 billion to $154.6 billion. GAAP operating margin contracted 810 basis points in the fourth quarter to 39.5%, down from 47.6% in the third quarter. The decline was primarily driven by a non-cash $10.5 million difference in amounts recorded to change the fair value of consideration payable for acquisitions. Fourth-quarter GAAP net income decreased 28.2% to $52.3 million, down from $72.8 million in the prior quarter. Third quarter net income benefited from a lower than normal tax rate as a result of employees exercising stock options during the period. On a per-share basis, GAAP net income decreased 26.7% to $0.74 per diluted share in the fourth quarter, versus $1.01 per diluted share in the third quarter.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 12.9% to $74.5 million in the fourth quarter, down from $85.6 million in the third quarter. On a per-share basis, adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 11.8% to $1.05 per diluted share in the fourth quarter, from $1.19 per diluted share in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $100.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $103.6 million in the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 30 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2022 to 49.7%, compared with 50.0% in the prior quarter.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Compared with Fourth Quarter 2021

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 decreased 12.0% to $201.5 million, compared with $229.1 million in the same quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower average AUM, which decreased 4.7% to $154.6 billion, compared with $162.3 billion in the same quarter last year. Also contributing was a slight decrease in revenue realization due to a change in asset mix as a result of the impact of the WestEnd acquisition.

Operating expenses decreased 12.5% to $121.9 million, compared with $139.3 million in last year’s fourth quarter primarily due to a decrease in acquisition-related costs related to the WestEnd and NEC acquisitions that closed in the fourth quarter of 2021 as well as a decrease in variable operating expenses from lower average AUM and earnings. GAAP operating margin expanded 30 basis points to 39.5% in the fourth quarter, from 39.2% in the same quarter of 2021. GAAP net income decreased 25.1% to $52.3 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter compared with $69.7 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2021.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 20.4% to $74.5 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter, compared with $93.7 million, or $1.27 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 12.9% to $100.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $114.9 million in last year’s same quarter. Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin declined slightly by 50 basis points to 49.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with 50.2% in the same quarter last year.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2021

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, declined 4.0% to $854.8 million, compared with $890.3 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower average AUM and a decrease in revenue realization due to a change in asset mix, partially offset by a full-year of revenue from businesses acquired in 2021.

Operating expenses decreased 11.8% to $455.7 million for year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $516.4 million in 2021 primarily due to a decrease in variable operating expenses from lower average AUM, a decrease in acquisition-related costs related to the WestEnd, NEC and THB acquisitions that closed in 2021, and a non-cash $54.4 million benefit in amounts recorded from the change in fair value of consideration payable for acquisitions. GAAP operating margin was 46.7% for the year ended December 31, 2022, a 470 basis point increase from the 42.0% recorded in 2021. GAAP net income declined 1.0% to $275.5 million for the year ended 2022 compared with $278.4 million in the prior year. GAAP net earnings per share increased to $3.81 per diluted share in 2022, up from $3.75 per diluted share in 2021 as a result of fewer weighted average shares outstanding in 2022.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 7.2% to $331.2 million, or $4.58 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $357.1 million, or $4.82 per diluted share in 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, adjusted EBITDA declined 5.5% to $424.2 million, compared with $449.0 million in 2021. Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin declined 80 basis points to 49.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with 50.4% in the previous year.

Balance Sheet / Capital Management

Total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2022 was approximately $1,002 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reduced outstanding debt on the 2021 Incremental Term Loans by $150 million.

During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 1.3 million shares under the 10b-5 plan and net settled 0.1 million shares. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 3.0 million shares under the 10b-5 plan and net settled 1.6 million shares.

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.
