NEW YORK--()--Moelis & Company (“we” or the “Firm”) (NYSE:MC) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015. The Firm’s total revenues for the second quarter were $125.9 million as compared with $131.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted Pro Forma net income was $20.6 million or $0.37 per share (diluted) for the second quarter of 2015, as compared with $23.2 million or $0.42 per share (diluted) in the prior year period.

First half 2015 revenues were $225.3 million as compared with $246.2 million for the first half of 2014. First half 2015 Adjusted Pro Forma net income was $36.0 million or $0.65 per share (diluted). This compares with $42.8 million of Adjusted Pro Forma net income or $0.78 per share (diluted) in the first half of 2014.

On a GAAP basis, the Firm reported net income of $26.9 million, or $0.34 per share (diluted) for the second quarter and $46.8 million, or $0.59 per share (diluted) for the first half of 2015. This compares with a GAAP net loss of $60.6 million and $38.5 million for the second quarter and first half of 2014, respectively, or a net loss of $1.25 per share (diluted) for the period from the IPO closing on April 22, 2014 through June 30, 2014.

“We had a very active quarter as we continued to participate in the improving M&A market with healthy growth in our M&A related activity. We also continued to execute on our growth strategy with the hiring of senior talent in important sectors and regions and the development of a strong recruiting pipeline for next year,” said Ken Moelis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“As demonstrated by the 50% increase in our quarterly dividend, we remain confident that the strength of our franchise, capital-light business model and focus on cost discipline will deliver consistent strong cash flow, which we are committed to returning to our shareholders.”

The Firm’s revenues and net income can fluctuate materially depending on the number, size and timing of completed transactions on which it advised as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results over a longer period of time.

Moelis & Company completed its IPO on April 22, 2014 and introduced a new corporate structure. Currently 37% of the operating partnership (Moelis & Company Group LP) is owned by the corporation (Moelis & Company) and is taxed as a corporation. The remaining 63% is owned by partners and is primarily subject to tax at the partner level (except for certain state and local and foreign income taxes). The Adjusted Pro Forma results included herein remove the impact of charges related to the Firm’s IPO and assume all outstanding Class A partnership units of Moelis & Company Group LP have been exchanged into Class A common stock of Moelis & Company. Accordingly, the Adjusted Pro Forma presentation reflects 100% of the Firm’s income being taxed as a corporation from January 1, 2014. We believe the Adjusted Pro Forma results, when presented together with comparable GAAP results, are useful to investors to compare our performance across periods and to better understand our operating results. A reconciliation of our GAAP results to our Adjusted Pro Forma results is presented in the Appendix to this press release.

Revenues

For the second quarter of 2015, revenues were $125.9 million as compared with $131.7 million in the second quarter of 2014, representing a decrease of 4%. This decrease was primarily driven by a continued soft restructuring market and fewer capital markets advisory completions.

For the first half of 2015, revenues were $225.3 million as compared with $246.2 million in the same period of 2014, representing a decrease of 8%. We advised 168 total clients in the first half of 2015 (63 of whom paid fees equal to or greater than $1 million) as compared with 163 clients (57 of whom paid fees equal to or greater than $1 million) during the same period in 2014.

We continued to execute on our strategy of profitable expansion. Since the first quarter, we have hired four Managing Directors who will strengthen our sector expertise in oil & gas, retail and technology. We also added to our Private Funds Advisory business with the hiring of an additional Partner. These individuals will join the Firm before the end of the year.

Total operating expenses on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis were $91.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared with Adjusted Pro Forma operating expenses of $92.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. For the first half of 2015, Adjusted Pro Forma operating expenses were $168.3 million as compared with $172.6 million in the same period of 2014. The decrease in operating expenses in 2015 primarily resulted from reduced compensation and benefits expenses due to lower revenues earned during the period, partially offset by a small increase in non-compensation expenses. The pre-tax income margin was 27% on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis in both the second quarter and first half of 2015 as compared with 30% and 29% on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis in the second quarter and first half of 2014, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2015, compensation and benefits expenses on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis were $68.3 million, or 54% of revenues, which compares with $69.3 million of compensation and benefits expenses, or 53% of revenues in 2014. In the first half of 2015, compensation and benefits expenses on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis were $122.2 million, or 54% of revenues, which compares with Adjusted Pro Forma compensation and benefits expense of $129.4 million, or 53% of revenues in the first half of 2014. Compensation expense in 2015 reflects an additional tranche of equity amortization expense arising from 2014 equity incentive grants made in early 2015. As annual equity compensation granted in the future accumulates and amortizes, we expect that our compensation expense ratio will increase toward our targeted long-term compensation ratio of approximately 57% to 58% of revenues.

Adjusted Pro Forma non-compensation expenses were $23.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared with $23.1 million for the same period of the prior year. Our Adjusted Pro Forma non-compensation expense ratio increased to 19% from 18% in the same period of the prior year. For the first half of 2015, Adjusted Pro Forma non-compensation expenses were $46.1 million as compared with $43.2 million for the same period of the prior year, and the Adjusted Pro Forma non-compensation expense ratio increased to 20% from 18% due to the increase in non-compensation expenses, primarily driven by headcount, together with the decline in revenues.

Provision for Income Taxes

Prior to our IPO, the Firm was not subject to federal income taxes, but was primarily subject to New York City unincorporated business tax and certain foreign income taxes. As a result of completing our IPO in April 2014, we have a new corporate structure and currently 37% of the operating partnership (Moelis & Company Group LP) is owned by the corporation (Moelis & Company) and is subject to U.S. federal income tax as a corporation. Income tax on the remaining 63% continues to be subject to New York City unincorporated business tax and certain foreign income taxes and is accounted for at the partner level through our non-controlling interest adjustment. For Adjusted Pro Forma purposes, we have assumed all outstanding Class A partnership units of Moelis & Company Group LP have been exchanged into Class A common stock of Moelis & Company such that 100% of the Firm’s second quarter 2015 income was taxed at our current corporate effective tax rate of 40.0%, versus a corporate effective tax rate of 40.5% for the second quarter of 2014.

Capital Management and Balance Sheet

Moelis & Company continues to maintain a strong financial position and as of June 30, 2015, we held cash and short term investments of $154.6 million and had no debt on our balance sheet.

On July 28, 2015, the Board of Directors of Moelis & Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share. The dividend will be paid on September 8, 2015 to common stockholders of record on August 24, 2015.

During the second quarter, the Firm repurchased 56,754 restricted stock units from employees at the time of vesting to settle tax liabilities at an average price of $28.65 per unit. During the first half, the Firm repurchased 129,863 shares of its Class A common stock and 62,797 restricted stock units from employees at the time of vesting to settle tax liabilities at an average price of $30.90 per share/unit.

We will host a conference call beginning at 4:30pm ET on Wednesday, July 29, 2015, accessible via telephone and the internet.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Pro Forma results are a non-GAAP measure which better reflect management’s view of operating results. We believe that the disclosed Adjusted Pro Forma measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to understand the Firm’s operating results by removing the significant accounting impact of one-time charges associated with the Firm’s IPO and assuming all Class A partnership units have been exchanged into Class A common stock. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted Pro Forma results is presented in the Appendix.
