CIFC Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results and a Quarterly Dividend

NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CIFC Corp. (NASDAQ: CIFC) ("CIFC" or the "Company") today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Highlights

Economic Net Income ("ENI", a non-GAAP measure) almost doubled to $13.2 million from $6.8 million in the third quarter of the prior year.
GAAP net income for the quarter was $8.2 million as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year.
Fee Earning AUM from loan-based products totaled $12.3 billion as of September 30, 2013 as compared to $11.0 billion as of September 30, 2012 and $12.4 billion as of June 30, 2013.
The Company sponsored the issuance of one new CLO and increased subscriptions to other loan-based products that represented approximately $607.2 million of new Fee Earning Assets Under Management ("Fee Earning AUM" or "AUM").
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company priced another CLO that represents approximately $500 million of new loan-based AUM. Funding for the new CLO is expected to occur in November 2013.
CIFC declares a third quarter cash dividend of $0.10 per share. The dividend will be paid on December 10, 2013 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 25, 2013. Year-to-date the Board of Directors has declared $0.20 in dividends per share.

Executive Overview

"We had growth in all revenue categories, especially incentive fees, which reflects continued strong performance relative to the return targets, particularly for the CIFC family of CLOs. New CLO issuance has continued at a robust pace albeit AUM remained flat due to the high runoff rate of legacy CLOs driven by very high loan refinancing volumes and its impact on older, amortizing CLOs. After quarter end, we priced our fourth CLO of 2013 and management continues to be excited about the company's market positioning and prospects," said Peter Gleysteen, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Overview

CIFC reported ENI of $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $6.8 million for the same period in the prior year. ENI increased period to period by $6.4 million primarily driven by favorable incentive fee performance on the Company's CLOs. Incentive fees increased as (i) more CLOs reached their incentive hurdles as compared to the same period in the prior year and (ii) the Company earned 50% of incentive fees realized on legacy CIFC CLOs (previously, all incentive fees were paid in connection with the 2011 merger). In addition, new CLOs and funds sponsored since the third quarter of 2012 contributed to an increase in management fees and the Company's investments in certain CLOs increased net interest income. These increases were partially offset by (i) the reversal of previous unrealized net investment gains due to the liquidation of an investment, (ii) decreases in management fees from certain legacy CLOs and CDOs that are amortizing pursuant to their contractual terms and (iii) slight increases in compensation expense to support the growth of the company.

CIFC reported GAAP net income attributable to CIFC Corp. of $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $0.7 million in the same period of the prior year. GAAP operating results increased by $7.5 million from the prior year period primarily due to the activity noted above. In addition net losses from contingent liabilities decreased due to changes in the expected performance of certain CLOs.

Fee Earning AUM

Investment advisory fees earned from investment products the Company manages on behalf of third party investors are the Company's primary source of revenue. These fees typically consist of senior and subordinated management fees based on a percentage of the investment product's assets and, in some cases, incentive fees based on the returns the Company generates for investors in the products.

The Company's total loan-based Fee Earning AUM was approximately $12.3 billion as of September 30, 2013. During the quarter, the Company sponsored the issuance of one new CLO and increased subscriptions to other-loan based products, increasing new Fee Earning AUM by approximately $607.2 million. New AUM mostly offset the declines in Fee Earning AUM for certain CLOs which have reached the end of their contractual reinvestment periods, after which capital is returned to investors as the loan assets underlying the CLOs repay principal. This reduction was higher than historical norms due to an increase in refinancing activity during the first half of the year. Incentive fees are generally paid to the Company as CLOs mature when the relevant incentive return hurdles and certain other restrictions have been met.

The following table summarizes Fee Earning AUM for the Company's significant loan-based products (1):

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2013, total cash and cash equivalents was $59.9 million, an increase of $12.2 million from $47.7 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributable to operating income (net of taxes), partially offset by net investment activity, and dividend payments of $2.1 million.

Investments

Total investments held by the company increased $14.0 million to $93.2 million as of September 30, 2013 from $79.2 million as of December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, the Company's investments included CLO residual interests of $50.5 million^(a), warehouses of $16.1 million^(a), loans of $16.0 million and other loan-based products of $10.6 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company's investments included CLO residual interests of $47.4 million^(a), warehouses of $26.7 million^(a) and other loan-based products of $5.1 million.

(a) Pursuant to GAAP, investments in consolidated CLO funds and Warehouses are not reported in "Investments at Fair Value" of Consolidated VIEs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Appendix for a Reconciliation from GAAP to Non-GAAP - Consolidated Balance Sheets for further details.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company discloses financial measures that are calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("Non-GAAP") as follows:

ENI is a non-GAAP financial measure of profitability which management uses in addition to GAAP Net income attributable to CIFC Corp. to measure the performance of its core business. The Company believes ENI reflects the nature and substance of the business, the economic results driven by investment advisory fee revenues from the management of client funds and earnings on the Company's investments. ENI represents net income (loss) attributable to CIFC Corp. before taxes, gains (losses) on disposition(s) of non-core assets, a portion of non-cash compensation related to profits interests granted by CIFC Parent Holdings LLC (a significant stockholder in the Company) in June 2011, amortization and impairments of intangible assets, gains/(losses) on derivatives and contingent liabilities and certain non-recurring operating expenses and strategic transaction expenses (such as those associated with the mergers and acquisitions). ENI also presents investment advisory fee revenues net of any fee-sharing arrangements primarily resulting from mergers or acquisitions.

EBIT and EBITDA are also non-GAAP financial measures that management considers, in addition to net income (loss) attributable to CIFC Corp., to evaluate the Company's core performance. EBIT represents ENI before corporate interest expense and EBITDA represents EBIT before depreciation of fixed assets, a non-cash item.

ENI, EBIT and EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as they are non-GAAP financial measures that are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. In addition, ENI, EBIT and EBITDA should be considered an addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

A detailed calculation of ENI, EBIT and EBITDA and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the Appendix.

Diluted ENI Weighted-average Shares	25,939	24,818	26,141	24,796

Explanatory Notes:

(1)	Total diluted ENI weighted-average shares represents the pre-tax effect of weighted average shares outstanding. Dilution assumes (i) that shares are purchased from proceeds received from the exercise of dilutive options, (ii) the conversion of the convertible notes, and (iii) that all dilutive warrants have been fully exercised.
(2)	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, convertible notes were not included in diluted GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding, as the notes were anti-dilutive during the periods.
(3)	For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, dilutive shares related to options and warrants were not included in diluted GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding, as they were anti-dilutive during the periods.
