SAN ANTONIO--()--Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCTR) (“Victory Capital” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“We are adeptly navigating the extraordinary declines in both the equity and fixed income markets on behalf of our clients,” said David Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The $20.2 billion of gross long-term flows and the $2.4 billion of positive net long-term inflows in the first half of 2022 demonstrate the confidence our clients have in our investment products and the professionals we have managing them.

“Periods of volatility create unique opportunities for actively managed strategies and as a result our investment performance continues to be excellent. As of June 30, the percentage of our AUM outperforming benchmarks over the respective 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was 85%, 79%, and 80%.

“The resiliency of our operating model is also on full display during these historically challenging market conditions. Our adjusted EBITDA margin exceeded 49% for the eighth consecutive quarter. This is a reflection of the overall strength of our platform and the hard work and dedication of our employees, who ensure that our clients around the world are receiving superior service.

“Our operating model also affords us the ability to continue to reinvest back into our business so we can emerge from this difficult period as an even stronger organization. At the same time, we continue to reduce debt and return excess capital to shareholders. During the second quarter, we repaid $45 million in debt and returned more capital to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and cash dividends than in any other quarter in our history.

“The recent market environment has not slowed our inorganic growth strategy, and we are currently in various stages of diligence with multiple acquisition prospects. As always, we continue to focus on serving our clients, which is our top priority.”

1 Total AUM includes both discretionary and non-discretionary client assets.

2 The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not defined by GAAP and should not be regarded as an alternative to any measurement under GAAP. Please refer to the section “Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release for an explanation of Non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measure.

Total gross flows were $9.3 billion for the second quarter and $20.5 billion for the year-to-date period. For the second quarter and year-to-date periods, the Company reported total net outflows of $0.7 billion and net inflows of $2.3 billion, respectively.

Second Quarter 2022 Compared with First Quarter 2022

Revenue decreased 6.1% to $216.0 million in the second quarter, compared with $230.0 million in the first quarter, primarily due to a decrease in average AUM and revenue realization partially offset by one extra day in the quarter. GAAP operating margin expanded 1,110 basis points in the second quarter to 55.2%, up from 44.1% in the first quarter primarily due to the combination of a non-cash $23.1 million difference in amounts recorded to the change in the fair value of consideration payable for acquisitions as well as decrease in variable expenses including compensation, distribution and other asset based expenses. Second quarter GAAP net income increased 11.1% to $79.2 million, up from $71.3 million in the prior quarter. On a per-share basis, GAAP net income increased 12.4% to $1.09 per diluted share in the second quarter, versus $0.97 per diluted share in the first quarter.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 10.7% to $80.7 million in the second quarter, down from $90.4 million in the first quarter. On a per-share basis, adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 9.8% to $1.11 per diluted share in the second quarter, from $1.23 per diluted share in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.2% to $106.2 million in the second quarter, versus $114.4 million in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 50 basis points in the second quarter of 2022 to 49.2% compared with 49.7% in the prior quarter.

Second Quarter 2022 Compared with Second Quarter 2021

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, declined 2.7% to $216.0 million, compared with $221.9 million in the same quarter of 2021 as a result of lower revenue realization over the comparable period.

Operating expenses decreased 23.7% to $96.7 million, compared with $126.6 million in last year’s second quarter due to a non-cash $32.3 million difference in amounts recorded to the change in the fair value of consideration payable for acquisitions. GAAP operating margin expanded 1,230 basis points to 55.2% in the second quarter, from 42.9% in the same quarter of 2021. GAAP net income rose 14.3% to $79.2 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, in the second quarter compared with $69.3 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2021.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 7.4% to $80.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in the second quarter, compared with $87.2 million, or $1.18 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5.4% to $106.2 million, compared with $112.2 million in last year’s same quarter. Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 140 basis points to 49.2% in the second quarter of 2022, compared with 50.6% in the same quarter last year.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased 2.6% to $446.0 million, compared with $434.9 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher average AUM partially offset by lower revenue realization as a result of the WestEnd acquisition.

Operating expenses decreased 9.9% to $225.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $249.8 million in the same period in 2021 due to a combination of non-cash $38.3 million difference in amounts recorded to the change in the fair value of consideration payable for acquisitions as well as a decrease in variable expenses, partially offset by continued investments to support future growth. GAAP operating margin was 49.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a 700 basis point increase from the 42.5% recorded in the same period in 2021. GAAP net income rose 11.9% to $150.5 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2022 compared with $134.5 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, in the same period in 2021.

Adjusted net income with tax benefit increased 0.2% to $171.1 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2022, compared with $170.8 million, or $2.30 per diluted share in the same period in 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, adjusted EBITDA rose 0.7% to $220.6 million, compared with $219.1 million for the same period in 2021. Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 90 basis points to 49.5% in the first six months of 2022, compared with 50.4% in the same period last year.

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, including restructuring costs;
  • Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
  • 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, including restructuring costs;
  • Adding back debt issuance cost expense;
  • 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.
