NEW YORK, April 27, 2011 – Duff & Phelps Corporation (NYSE: DUF), a leading independent financial advisory and investment banking firm, today announced its first quarter 2011 financial results and declared a quarterly dividend.
Results
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, revenues excluding reimbursable expenses decreased $4.2 million or 4.6% to $85.0 million, compared to $89.2 million for the corresponding prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter was $12.8 million, representing 15.0% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses, compared to $15.5 million for the corresponding prior year quarter, representing 17.4% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses. Net income attributable to Duff & Phelps Corporation was $4.1 million, or $0.14 per share of Class A common stock on a fully diluted basis, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.16 per share for the corresponding prior year quarter. Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income(1) was $6.1 million, or $0.16 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis, compared to $7.3 million, or $0.19 per share, for the corresponding prior year quarter.
“The improving climate for large-scale M&A activity, particularly in the U.S., combined with increased demand for independent valuation services, contributed to growth in our Financial Advisory and Alternative Asset Advisory segments this quarter,” said Noah Gottdiener, chief executive officer. “As expected, our Investment Banking segment declined due to a slowdown in the restructuring markets and a lack of meaningful success fees in our M&A business this quarter. Overall, through our balanced portfolio of services, we are well positioned to capitalize on the positive trends we are seeing in the market.”
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company also announced today that its board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share on its outstanding Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on May 27, 2011 to shareholders of record on May 17, 2011. Concurrent with the payment of the dividend, the Company will also be distributing $0.08 per unit to holders of New Class A Units.
Renaming Corporate Finance Consulting to Alternative Asset Advisory
Effective January 1, 2011, we renamed our Corporate Finance Consulting segment Alternative Asset Advisory. This new name more appropriately defines the services offered in this segment and will create heightened awareness in the marketplace and with our investors. Concurrent with this change, our Financial Engineering service line has been renamed Complex Asset Solutions to more clearly describe the nature of services offered. In addition, our Alternative Asset Advisory segment previously included services associated with Strategic Value Advisory. This service line was primarily integrated into Valuation Advisory. As a result, prior period results have been restated to reflect this change.
Earnings Call Webcast
As previously announced, Duff & Phelps will host a conference call today, April 27, 2011, at 5:00 p.m. EDT to discuss the Company’s financial results. Interested parties can access the webcast for this call through http://ir.duffandphelps.com/.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income, and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a relevant and useful alternative measure of our ongoing profitability and performance, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP measures, as it adjusts net income or loss attributable to Duff & Phelps Corporation for (a) net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) interest expense and depreciation and amortization (a significant portion of which relates to debt and capital investments that have been incurred as the result of acquisitions and investments in stand-alone infrastructure which we do not expect to incur at the same levels in the future), (d) equity-based compensation associated with the Legacy Units of D&P Acquisitions, a significant portion of which is due to certain onetime grants associated with acquisitions prior to our IPO, and options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock granted in connection with the IPO, (e) impairment charges, acquisition retention expenses and other merger and acquisition costs, which are generally non-recurring in nature or are related to deferred payments associated with prior acquisitions, and (f) costs incurred from the realignment of our senior management which are generally non-recurring in nature and primarily include cash severance and charges from the accounting impact of the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock awards.
Given the level of acquisition activity during the period prior to our IPO, and related capital investments and one time equity grants associated with acquisitions during the this period (which we do not expect to incur at the same levels post IPO) and the IPO, and our belief that, as a professional services organization, our operations are not capital intensive on an ongoing basis, we believe the Adjusted EBITDA measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, provides a relevant and useful benchmark for investors, in order to assess our financial performance and comparability to other companies in our industry. The Adjusted EBITDA measure is utilized by our senior management to evaluate our overall performance and operating expense characteristics and to compare our performance to that of certain of our competitors. In addition, a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure that determines compliance with certain financial covenants under our credit facility. Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using the Adjusted EBITDA measure through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income or loss. Furthermore, management also reviews GAAP measures, and evaluates individual measures that are not included in Adjusted EBITDA such as our level of capital expenditures, equity issuance and interest expense, among other measures.
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company and reconciled below, consists of net income or loss attributable to Duff & Phelps Corporation before (a) net income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) other expense/(income), net, (d) depreciation and amortization, (e) charges from impairment of intangible assets, (f) equity-based compensation associated with Legacy Units and IPO Options included in both compensation and benefits and in selling, general and administrative expenses, (g) cash severance and equity-compensation expense from the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock awards due to the realignment of our senior management, (h) acquisition retention expenses and (i) merger and acquisition costs:

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income, as defined by Duff & Phelps and reconciled below, consists of net income or loss attributable to Duff & Phelps Corporation before (a) net income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, (b) a non-recurring charge from the repayment and subsequent termination of our former credit agreement, (c) equity-based compensation associated with Legacy Units and IPO Options included in both compensation and benefits and in selling, general and administrative expenses, (d) acquisition retention expenses, (e) cash severance and equity-compensation expense from the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock awards due to the realignment of our senior management, (f) merger and acquisition costs, and less (g) pro forma corporate income tax applied at an assumed rate as specified in the applicable footnote (such assumed pro forma corporate income tax rate may fluctuate between periods and may include true-ups relating to prior periods, based on management estimates and judgments). Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share, as defined by Duff & Phelps, consists of Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income divided by the weighted average number of the Company's Class A and Class B shares for the applicable period, giving effect to the dilutive impact, if any, of stock options and restricted stock awards and units and performance-vesting restricted stock awards and units issued in connection with the Company’s ongoing long-term compensation program (“Ongoing RSAs”).

(c) | Represents elimination of acquisition retention expenses which resulted from expense incurred from certain restricted stock awards that were granted in conjunction with the closing of one of our acquisitions. |
(d) | Represents elimination of merger and acquisitions costs. |
(e) | Represents an adjustment to reflect an assumed effective corporate tax rate of approximately 40.7% and 40.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which includes a provision for U.S. federal income taxes and assumes the highest statutory rates apportioned to each state, local and/or foreign jurisdiction. Assumes (i) full exchange of existing unitholders' partnership units and Class B common stock of the Company into Class A common stock of the Company, (ii) the Company has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C Corporation in the U.S. at prevailing corporate rates and (iii) all deferred tax assets related to foreign operations are fully realizable. |
(f) | Based on the weighted-average number of aggregated Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding, excluding Ongoing RSAs, and the dilutive effect of Ongoing RSAs. The Company believes that IPO Options would not be considered dilutive when applying the treasury method. |
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share are non-GAAP financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered alternatives to measurements required by GAAP, such as operating income, net income or loss, net income or loss per share, cash flow from continuing operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In addition, it should be noted that companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income differently and, therefore, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income as presented for us may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income reported by other companies.

Utilization excludes client service professionals associated with certain property tax services due to the nature of the work performed and client service professionals from certain acquisitions prior to their transition to the Company’s financial system. |
(2) | Average billing rate-per-hour is calculated by dividing revenues for the period by the number of hours worked on client assignments (including internal projects for the Company) during the same period. Financial Advisory revenues used to calculate rate-per-hour exclude revenues associated with certain property tax engagements. The average billing rate excludes certain hours from our acquisitions prior to their transition to the Company’s financial system. |
