NEW YORK--()--Duff & Phelps Corporation (NYSE: DUF), a leading independent provider of financial advisory and investment banking services, today announced financial results for its 2009 fourth quarter and full year, and declared a quarterly dividend.
“We believe the environment for these services will remain strong due to the continuation of secular trends that drive our business. Furthermore, we are well positioned to grow in our M&A related and other non-cyclical businesses as we enter what appears to be a period of economic recovery.”
Results
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Duff & Phelps generated revenues excluding reimbursable expenses of $370.9 million, a decrease of 2.8% compared to $381.5 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the period was $66.6 million, representing 17.9% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses, compared to $73.6 million for the prior year, representing 19.3% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses. Fully diluted net income per share of Class A common stock was $0.54, compared to $0.36 for the prior year. Adjusted pro forma net income(1) was $32.7 million, or $0.88 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis, compared to $36.0 million, or $1.05 per share, for the prior year.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, Duff & Phelps generated revenues excluding reimbursable expenses of $98.3 million, an increase of 4.4% compared to $94.2 million for the corresponding prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter was $18.1 million, representing 18.4% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses, compared to $20.7 million for the corresponding prior year quarter, representing 22.0% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses.

“Our 2009 results reflect growth in several key areas of our business, particularly portfolio valuation, dispute consulting and global restructuring,” commented Noah Gottdiener, chairman and chief executive officer. “We believe the environment for these services will remain strong due to the continuation of secular trends that drive our business. Furthermore, we are well positioned to grow in our M&A related and other non-cyclical businesses as we enter what appears to be a period of economic recovery.”
“Over the past year, we have strengthened our balance sheet by paying down all debt and increasing our cash balances, and we have worked diligently to align our cost structure with top-line performance,” said Gerry Creagh, president. “These efforts will prove beneficial as markets improve and we make additional strategic investments in our business.”
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company also announced today that its board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on its outstanding Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on March 26, 2010 to shareholders of record on March 16, 2010.

| Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues | 18.4 | % | 22.0 | % | 17.9 | % | 19.3 | % | ||||||||
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. 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 for (a) 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), (b) equity-based compensation associated with the Legacy Units of D&P Acquisitions, a significant portion of which is due to certain one-time grants associated with Predecessor acquisitions, and options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock granted in connection with the IPO (“IPO Options”), (c) 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 (d) net income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
Given the level of acquisition activity during the Predecessor period, and related capital investments and one time equity grants associated with acquisitions during the Predecessor period (which we do not expect to incur at the same levels in Successor periods) 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. A measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is the principal measure that determines the compensation of our senior management team. 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, consists of net income or loss before (a) interest income and expense, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) other expense, net, (d) depreciation and amortization, (e) acquisition retention expenses, (f) equity-based compensation associated with Legacy Units and IPO Options included in compensation and benefits, (g) equity-based compensation associated with Legacy Units and IPO Options included in selling, general and administrative expenses, (h) merger and acquisition costs and (i) net income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
Adjusted pro forma net income, as defined by Duff & Phelps, consists of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above), less depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense (excluding a non-recurring charge from the repayment and subsequent termination of our former credit agreement), other income and pro forma corporate income tax applied at an assumed rate as specified in the calculations (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.
Both Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pro forma net income 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.

(1) |
The utilization rate for any given period is calculated by dividing the number of hours incurred by client service professionals who worked on client assignments (including internal projects for the Company) during the period by the total available working hours for all of such client service professionals during the same period, assuming a 40 hour work week, less paid holidays and vacation days. Financial Advisory utilization excludes approximately 60 client service professionals associated with Rash & Associates, L.P. (“Rash”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, due to the nature of the work performed. |
|
|
(2) |
