New York, August 2, 2010 — GFI Group Inc. (Nasdaq: GFIG), a leading provider of wholesale brokerage, electronic execution and trading support products for global financial markets, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Highlights
· Total revenues for the second quarter of 2010 decreased 7% to $209.6 million compared with $224.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, total revenues declined 5% to $208.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $220.5 million in the second quarter of 2009, excluding mark-to-market unrealized gains on forward hedges of future foreign currency revenues in both periods.
· Brokerage revenues for the second quarter of 2010 declined 3% to $194.2 million compared with $201.1 million in the second quarter of 2009.
· Compensation and employee benefits expense in the second quarter of 2010 was 67.3% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and 67.7% on non-GAAP basis. This compares with 65.2% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and 66.5% of total revenues on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2009.
· Non-compensation expenses were 25.8% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and 24.4% on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2010. This compares with 23.1% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and 22.9% on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2009.
· Net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $10.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $16.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $12.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010, compared with $14.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009.
Michael Gooch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GFI, commented: “Our second quarter brokerage revenues were 3% lower than the same quarter last year as strong growth in commodity and financial products was offset by lower revenues from fixed income and equity products. When combined with our performance in the first quarter of 2010, however, our brokerage revenues for the first half of 2010 matched those of the first half of 2009.
“We were aided in the second quarter of 2010 by the continued stabilization of key markets, with intermittent periods of market volatility, the success of new products, and increased trading activity on our electronic brokerage platforms. However, we also faced a fall off in market trading volumes in June, heightened competition for brokerage personnel in certain fixed income markets, and continued uncertainty surrounding the impact of the financial reform legislation on the OTC markets.
“Within our fixed income product category, we saw continued strong year-over-year growth in revenues from fixed income derivatives, which increased 23% from the second quarter of 2009. This was offset by a decline in our revenues from cash fixed income products, which were down 49% from the second quarter of 2009 and 26% from the first quarter of 2010. While narrower credit spreads and lower bond
issuance were factors globally, the decline was mainly due to increased competition as re-capitalized dealers in the U.S. rebuilt their sales teams.
“Equity product revenues were 5% lower than the second quarter of 2009 and 2% lower sequentially. Strong growth in revenues from Europe, especially from our Paris office, in cash equities and equity derivatives, was offset by lower revenues from the Americas.
“Our revenues from financial products continued to recover in the second quarter of 2010, especially in emerging markets and Asia, resulting in a 17% increase over the second quarter of 2009 and a 3% increase sequentially.
“Commodity product revenues rose 26% from the second quarter of 2009 and 1% from the first quarter of 2010. The growth was attributable to better market conditions in certain commodity categories, including shipping, electricity and natural gas, as well as from new products.
“Although compensation and employee benefits expense was higher as a percentage of revenues, it was 4% lower in total than in the second quarter of 2009 and 2% lower than in the first quarter of 2010, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. We are investing for the future by adding brokerage personnel in targeted product categories and geographies.
“Non-compensation expenses were 4% higher than the second quarter of 2009, but 3% lower than the first quarter of 2010 on a GAAP basis and included professional fees related to our acquisition of Kyte and other strategic business development projects in the second quarter of 2010. On a non-GAAP basis, they increased 1% over the year-ago quarter and decreased 7% sequentially. We remain focused on controlling expenses.
“Through our acquisition of London-based Kyte, which was completed July 1, we continue to build for the future. Kyte, which is a leading provider of clearing, risk management, settlement and other back-office services and capital to its target markets, expands our product coverage into a broader array of exchange-traded products, adds expertise and capability in risk management, and continues to expand our business beyond our traditional inter-dealer broker services.
“We are optimistic that the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act will generally be beneficial to the long-term health of the broader financial markets. The legislation requires certain OTC derivatives to be executed through a registered exchange or swap execution facility. We expect that we will qualify as a swap execution facility and that our product expertise, proven technology, depth of liquidity and long-standing relationships will position us well to capture any newly created opportunities in these markets.
“Looking at our preliminary brokerage revenues for July, excluding Kyte, revenues are tracking down approximately 10% compared with revenues for the same month last year as the lower trading volumes of June carried into the first few weeks of July.
Mr. Gooch concluded: “Despite the slow start to the quarter, we enter the second half of 2010 intent on increasing our product and geographic diversity, furthering our technology advantages and acting on new market opportunities. We are pleased to declare a quarterly cash dividend to our shareholders.”
Revenues
For the second quarter of 2010, total revenues were $209.6 million on a GAAP basis and $208.5 million on a non-GAAP basis. This compares with total revenues of $224.7 million on a GAAP basis and $220.5 million on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2009. The non-GAAP amounts in both periods exclude mark-to-market unrealized gains on forward hedges of future foreign currency revenues, totaling $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. There was a net decrease of $8.2 million in non-brokerage revenues in the second quarter of 2010 from the second
quarter of 2009 on a GAAP basis, largely related to the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions and balances.
Brokerage revenues in the second quarter of 2010 were $194.2 million compared with $201.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Revenues from commodity products and financial products increased 26% and 17% respectively, while revenues from fixed income products and equity products decreased 25% and 5%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2009. By geographic region, brokerage revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 21% in Asia-Pacific and 6% in EMEA but decreased 18% in the Americas compared with the second quarter of 2009.
Revenues from trading software, analytics and market data products for the second quarter of 2010 were $14.5 million, an increase of 12% from the second quarter of 2009.
Expenses
For the second quarter of 2010, compensation and employee benefits expense was $141.1 million compared with $146.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Compensation and employee benefits expense was 67.3% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and 67.7% on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2010, compared with 65.2% of total revenues on a GAAP basis and 66.5% on a non-GAAP basis, in the second quarter of 2009.
On a GAAP basis, non-compensation expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $54.1 million or 25.8% of total revenues compared with $51.8 million or 23.1% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, non-compensation expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $50.8 million or 24.4% of total revenues, excluding $1.9 million of fees largely related to the Company’s acquisition of Kyte, which was completed July 1, 2010, and $1.4 million in intangible asset amortization. This compares with $50.5 million or 22.9% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2009, excluding $1.4 million in intangible asset amortization.
The effective tax rate for the first half of 2010 was 31% on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis compared with 37% in the first half of 2009. The reduction in the effective tax rate in comparison to the first six months of 2009 is due to a shift in the geographic mix of earnings towards jurisdictions with lower tax rates.
Earnings
Net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $10.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net income of $16.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $12 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with $14.6 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009.
Six-Month Results
For first six months of 2010, total GAAP revenues were $430.4 million compared with $440.9 million for same period of 2009. GAAP net income for the first half of 2010 was $23.8 million or $0.19 per diluted share compared to $28.0 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the first half of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, total revenues for the first six months of 2010 were $429.4 million compared with $432.8 million for the first half of 2009, while net income was $26.3 million or $0.21 per diluted share compared with $27.5 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the first six months of 2009.
Recent Event - Kyte Acquisition Completed
GFI completed the acquisition of Kyte Group Limited and Kyte Capital Management Limited (collectively “Kyte”) on July 1, 2010 for an initial purchase price of £37.9 million ($57.6 million). The purchase price consists of £22.4 million ($34 million) in cash and the issuance of 4.2 million shares of GFI Group Inc. common stock (1.3 million shares of which are to be issued upon the resolution of certain contingencies) for 70% of the equity interests of Kyte. GFI will purchase the residual 30% equity interest in Kyte for an
amount that will be calculated based on Kyte’s performance during the three years ended June 30, 2013. The final initial purchase price will be subject to various adjustments, including the amount of Kyte’s surplus working capital at closing and the satisfaction of certain legal, financial and other criteria. For Kyte’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the combined Kyte companies had £129.6 million in revenues and £13.9 million in gross profit on a UK GAAP basis. The Kyte companies also realized £6.8 million in pre-tax income, after adjusting for income due to non-controlling interests in the various Kyte operating subsidiaries.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement GFI’s unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by GFI include non-GAAP revenues, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures currently exclude amortization of acquired intangibles and certain other items that management views as non-operating or non-recurring from the Company’s statement of income as detailed below.
In addition, GFI may consider whether other significant non-operating or non-recurring items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses. The non-GAAP financial measures also take into account income tax adjustments with respect to the excluded items.
GFI believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business, operating results or future outlook. GFI’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance to prior periods.
In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items GFI excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because when analyzing the operating performance of an acquired business, GFI’s management focuses on the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity as compared to the purchase price paid) without taking into consideration any charges for allocations made for accounting purposes. Further, because the purchase price for an acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to intangible assets, when analyzing the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, the Company’s management excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets on its financial results. GFI believes that such an approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by an acquisition and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the accounting expense associated with acquired intangible assets.
Set forth below is specific detail regarding items excluded in our non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP to GAAP figures follows this press release.
In the second quarter of 2010, the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues was $1.1 million and the difference between the GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income was $1.6 million and reflected for non-GAAP purposes:
· The exclusion from revenues of a $1.1 million mark-to-market unrealized gain on forward hedges of future foreign currency revenues;
· The exclusion of $1.4 million of amortization on all acquired intangible assets;
· The exclusion of $1.9 million of professional fees related to the acquisition of Kyte completed on July 1, 2010 and other business development projects; and
· The effect of adjusting for these items would increase the Company’s income tax expense by $0.6 million.
In the second quarter of 2009, the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues was $4.2 million and the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP net income was ($1.8) million and reflected for non-GAAP purposes:
· The exclusion from revenues of a $4.2 million mark-to-market unrealized gain on forward hedges of future foreign currency revenues;
· The exclusion of $1.4 million of amortization on all acquired intangible assets; and
· The effect of adjusting for these items would decrease the Company’s income tax expense by $1.1 million.
In the first six months of 2010, the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue was $1.0 million and the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP net income was $2.5 million and reflected for non-GAAP purposes:
· The exclusion from revenues of $1.0 million mark-to-market unrealized gains on forward hedges of future foreign currency revenues;
· The exclusion of $2.8 million of amortization on all acquired intangible assets;
· The exclusion of $1.9 million of professional fees related to the acquisition of Kyte and other business development projects; and
· The effect of adjusting for these items would increase the Company’s income tax expense by $1.1 million.
In the first six months of 2009, the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue was $8.1 million and the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP net income was ($0.4) million and reflected for non-GAAP purposes:
· The exclusion from revenues of:
· $7.4 million mark-to-market unrealized gains on forward hedges of future foreign currency revenues; and
· a $0.7 million gain on the Company’s exchange of its investment in The Clearing Corporation for an investment in a holding company of ICE Trust;
· The exclusion of $2.7 million of amortization on all acquired intangible assets;
· The exclusion of $4.6 million related to severance and other restructuring initiatives, including an $0.8 million charge relating to the termination of a joint venture; and
· The effect of adjusting for these items would decrease the Company’s income tax expense by $0.3 million.
