“Our third quarter was another consistent quarter of earnings for Medley.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Total revenues increased by $13.4 million to $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was due primarily to an accrual of performance fee revenue of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to a reversal of performance fee revenue of $14.6 million for the same period in 2015. The increase was partly offset by a decrease in management fees due primarily to lower incentive fees from our permanent capital vehicles.

Total expenses from operations increased by $11.7 million to $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was due primarily to increases in performance compensation and expenses under our expense support agreement with Sierra Income Corporation (“SIC”).

Total other expense, net decreased by $0.7 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  The decrease was due primarily to an unrealized gain associated with our shares held in SIC.

Net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC decreased by $0.3 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Pre-Tax Core Net Income increased by $6.8 million to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  Core Net Income Per Share was $0.14 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $0.01 for the same period in 2015. Core EBITDA increased by $7.0 million to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Total revenues increased by $6.3 million, to $57.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was due to an accrual of performance fee revenue of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to a reversal of performance fees of $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Total expenses from operations increased by $21.1 million to $46.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was due primarily to increases in performance compensation and expenses under our expense support agreement with SIC.

Total other expense, net increased by $0.6 million to $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  The increase was due primarily to an increase in expense associated with our revenue share payable.

(1)  Net Income Margin equals Net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC divided by total revenue. Please refer to the reconciliation of Net Income Margin to Core Net Income Margin in Exhibit E for additional details. 

(2)  Pre-Tax Core Net Income is calculated as Core Net Income before income taxes. Core Net Income reflects net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and net income attributable to non-controlling interests in Medley LLC adjusted to exclude reimbursable expenses associated with the launch of funds, stock-based compensation associated with restricted stock units that were granted in connection with our IPO, other non-core items and the income tax expense associated with the foregoing adjustments. Please refer to the reconciliation of Core Net Income to Net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC in Exhibit C for additional details. 

(3)  Core EBITDA is calculated as Core Net Income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Please refer to the reconciliation of Core EBITDA to Net income attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC in Exhibit C for additional details.

(4)  Core Net Income Per Share is calculated as Core Net Income, adjusted for the income tax effect of assuming that all of our pre-tax earnings were subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes, divided by Pro-Forma Weighted Average Shares Outstanding (as defined below).  We assumed an effective corporate tax rate of 43.0% for all periods presented. Please refer to the calculation of Core Net Income Per Share in Exhibit D for additional details.

(5)  Core Net Income Margin equals Core Net Income Per Share divided by total revenue per share.

(6)  The calculation of Pro-Forma Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the vesting of restricted stock units and the conversion by the pre-IPO holders of 23,333,333 Medley LLC units for 23,333,333 shares of Class A common stock at the beginning of each period presented. Please refer to Exhibit D for additional details.
