SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 4, 2019--Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCTR) (“Victory Capital” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

“I’m pleased to report that Victory Capital continued to deliver excellent financial results in the third quarter of 2019, our first quarter post the acquisition of USAA Asset Management Company,” said David Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue and adjusted net income more than doubled sequentially and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to a record 44.8%. This marks our third consecutive quarter of meaningful margin expansion, which demonstrates the power of our integrated business model.

“Total AUM grew to $145.8 billion as of September 30, 2019. Long-term net inflows were positive for the second consecutive quarter at $726 million and are $3.3 billion year to date. Long-term gross flows were $7.5 billion for the quarter.

“Our integration efforts following the close of the USAA Asset Management acquisition continue to progress well, and we expect to achieve our previously disclosed cost synergies ahead of schedule. The direct channel for USAA members was reopened on July 1, 2019, and our call center, which is staffed largely by former USAA employees, is actively serving members’ investment needs.

“We paid down $63 million of debt during the quarter. Subsequent to quarter-end, we paid down an additional $40 million, bringing our total debt reduction since July 1, 2019, to $103 million. Additionally, today, we declared a second consecutive quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share.

“Looking ahead, our long-term corporate vision remains focused on leveraging our full suite of strategies to drive organic growth while maintaining the capital flexibility to pursue strategic acquisitions that we believe will augment our existing business. As in the past, serving the needs of our clients remains our top priority.”

Brown added: “The 480-basis point increase in adjusted EBITDA margin this quarter, more than offset the 2.5 basis-point decline in average fee rate realization. Our next generation integrated multi-boutique model is designed to thrive in a lower-fee-rate environment. We are focused on expanding margins and profitability—more than the top-line impact from mix shift—which is being driven by increasing sales of lower-fee Solutions and Fixed Income products.”

^{2 Long-term AUM is defined as total AUM excluding Money Market assets.}

^{3 On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and now records all Mutual Fund and ETF waivers and expense reimbursements as a reduction of reported revenue and not as an expense item. Prior periods have not been restated, as permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, due to the Company adopting the new revenue guidance using the modified retrospective method.}

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 and the IPO, including restructuring costs;
• Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
• Adding back pre-IPO governance expenses paid to the Company’s private equity partners that terminated as of the completion of the IPO; and
• 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 and the IPO, including restructuring costs;
• Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
• Adding back pre-IPO governance expenses paid to the Company’s private equity partners that terminated as of the completion of the IPO; and
• 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.
