New York, NY (November 13, 2014) Medley Management Inc. (NYSE: MDLY) (the “Company” or “Medley”) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Although Medley was a public company for only a portion of the reporting period, the financial results herein reflect the full period results of the Company and our operating subsidiaries, Medley LLC and Medley GP Holdings LLC, and their consolidated subsidiaries.

On September 29, 2014, Medley completed its IPO pursuant to which 6,000,000 shares of Class A common stock were sold at a price of $18.00 per share. Total proceeds from the offering, net of underwriting discount, were $100.4 million.

“We are pleased to report a strong quarter for Medley Management Inc. Growth in assets under management, origination, and financial performance for our shareholders exceeded our expectations” commented Brook Taube, Chief Executive Officer of Medley.

“Our broad origination platform continues to produce high quality assets at attractive yields for investors.  Our diversified fundraising platform continues to demonstrate the ability to grow assets in both retail and institutional channels. Permanent capital increased to 65% of fee earning assets under management at Medley, underpinning our ability to drive steady and consistent cash earning for our investors.  We are pleased to report our first dividend of $0.20 per share payable on January 5, 2015,” continued Mr. Taube.

Standalone Results of Operations

Total revenues increased by 57%, or $8.6 million, to $23.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 2013. The growth in total revenues was driven by a 66% increase in year over year fee earning AUM, as well as a $3.4 million increase in performance fees.

Total expenses increased by 32%, or $2.5 million, to $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increase is due primarily to increases in compensation expense, as well as general, administrative and other expenses as a result of the overall growth of our business. In addition, interest expense increased by $1.7 million due to an increase in our debt outstanding.

Core Net Income increased by 76%, or $5.5 million, to $12.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2013. Core Net Income Per Share increased by 79% to $0.25 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $0.14 per share in the comparable period in 2013.
