Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCTR) (“Victory Capital”
or “the Company”) today reported record financial results for the
quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2021.
“We ended 2021 with the closing of our third strategic
acquisition of the year—WestEnd Advisors,” said David Brown,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This acquisition positions
us as a leader in the fast-growing model portfolio segment of the
market, which is benefiting from multiple long-term industry
tailwinds.
“Earlier in the quarter, we launched our alternative investment
platform with the closing of our New Energy Capital acquisition.
This strategic acquisition provides us with a new growth vertical
in private markets and enhances our ESG and impact investing
capabilities. Similarly, our first-quarter acquisition of THB Asset
Management (“THB”) also expanded our responsible investing
products.
“We achieved record revenue and earnings for both the fourth
quarter and full-year periods. Revenue in 2021 increased 15% from
the prior year and adjusted earnings with tax benefit per diluted
share rose 25%. Consistent profitable growth and strong profit
margins are a testament to the benefits of our business model,
which combines high-quality autonomous Investment Franchises with
an efficient shared operating and distribution platform.
“Investment performance also remained excellent during the
fourth quarter and full year. A majority of our strategies
outperformed their benchmarks over the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year
periods, through year-end 2021.
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.
“This strong investment performance supported a 20%
year-over-year increase in gross long-term sales, which reached a
record $27.9 billion for the year. Long-term net flows also
substantially improved year over year. Entering 2022, this
improvement in net flows—combined with our recent acquisitions and
prior investments we have made in the business—position us well as
we look forward.
“In support of our overall corporate strategy, we will continue
allocating the majority of our free cash flow to lowering debt and
enhancing balance sheet flexibility to support future acquisition
opportunities. Given the current strength of our business, our
Board declared a 47% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to
$0.25 per share. Moving forward, we intend to shift to an annual
cycle for evaluating potential increases to our quarterly cash
dividends in the first quarter of each year.
“As always, we continue to focus on our top priority, which is
generating strong investment performance and serving our
clients.”

AUM, Flows and Investment Performance
Victory Capital’s total AUM increased by 14.9%, or $23.8
billion, to $183.7 billion at December 31, 2021, compared with
$159.9 billion at September 30, 2021. The increase was attributable
to $20.0 billion of acquired assets associated with the WestEnd
Advisors (“WestEnd”) and New Energy Capital (“NEC”) acquisitions
that closed on December 31, 2021 and November 1, 2021,
respectively. The acquired assets associated with the WestEnd
acquisition had no economic impact on operations and no effect on
asset flows, average assets, revenues, or earnings in the
fourth-quarter or full-year periods ended December 31, 2021.
Total gross flows were $5.6 billion in the fourth quarter and
$28.3 billion for the year. Long-term AUM increased by 15.2%, or
$23.8 billion, to $180.6 billion at December 31, 2021, compared
with $156.7 billion at September 30, 2021. For the fourth quarter,
the Company reported long-term gross flows of $5.5 billion and net
long-term outflows of $3.4 billion. For the year-to-date period,
the Company reported long-term gross flows of $27.9 billion and net
long-term outflows of $4.0 billion.
At December 31, 2021, Victory Capital offered 130 investment
strategies through its 12 autonomous Investment Franchises and
Solutions Platform. The table below presents outperformance against
benchmarks by AUM as of December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Compared with Third Quarter 2021
Revenue increased 1.3% to $229.1 million, in the fourth quarter,
compared with $226.3 million in the third quarter, primarily due to
a higher average fee rate realization, partially offset by lower
average AUM. GAAP operating margin contracted 450 basis points in
the fourth quarter to 39.2%, down from 43.7% in the third quarter.
The decline was driven by one-time acquisition-related costs
related to transactions that closed in the fourth quarter. In
addition, higher intangible asset amortization and transaction
incentive compensation associated with the NEC acquisition also
contributed to the quarter-over-quarter GAAP margin compression.
This resulted in fourth-quarter GAAP net income decreasing 6.0% to
$69.7 million, down from $74.2 million in the prior quarter. On a
per-share basis, GAAP net income decreased 6.0% to $0.94 per
diluted share in the fourth quarter, versus $1.00 per diluted share
in the third quarter.
Adjusted net income with tax benefit increased 1.2% to $93.7
million in the fourth quarter, up from $92.6 million in the third
quarter. On a per-share basis, adjusted net income with tax benefit
increased 1.6% to $1.27 per diluted share in the fourth quarter,
from $1.25 per diluted share in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA
was $114.9 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $115.0
million in the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 60
basis points in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 50.2%, compared with
50.8% in the prior quarter.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Compared with Fourth Quarter 2020
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021, rose 14.3%
to $229.1 million, compared with $200.4 million in the same quarter
of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher average AUM.
Operating expenses increased 13.5% to $139.3 million, compared
with $122.7 million in last year’s fourth quarter primarily due to
the combination of an increase in acquisition-related costs as a
result of the WestEnd and NEC acquisitions as well as an increase
in variable operating expenses that rose as a result of higher
average AUM and earnings as well as continued investments to
support future growth. GAAP operating margin expanded 40 basis
points to 39.2% in the fourth quarter, from 38.8% in the same
quarter of 2020. GAAP net income rose 27.0% to $69.7 million, or
$0.94 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter compared with $54.9
million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the same quarter of
2020.
Adjusted net income with tax benefit advanced 19.2% to $93.7
million, or $1.27 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter,
compared with $78.6 million, or $1.07 per diluted share in the same
quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA rose 10.7% to $114.9 million in
the fourth quarter, compared with $103.8 million in last year’s
same quarter. Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 160
basis points to 50.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with
51.8% in the same quarter last year.
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared with Year Ended
December 31, 2020
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, rose 14.8% to
$890.3 million, compared with $775.4 million in the same period of
2020. The increase was primarily due to higher average AUM.
Operating expenses increased 12.1% to $516.4 million for year
ended December 31, 2021, compared with $460.6 million in 2020
primarily due to a combination of an increase in variable operating
expenses that rose as a result of higher average AUM and earnings
as well as continued investments to support future growth and an
increase in acquisition-related costs as a result of the WestEnd,
NEC and THB acquisitions that closed in 2021. GAAP operating margin
was 42.0% for the year ended December 31, 2021, a 140 basis point
increase from the 40.6% recorded in 2020. GAAP net income rose
31.0% to $278.4 million, or $3.75 per diluted share, for the year
ended 2021 compared with $212.5 million, or $2.88 per diluted
share, in the prior year.
Adjusted net income with tax benefit advanced 25.1% to $357.1
million, or $4.82 per diluted share, for the year ended December
31, 2021, compared with $285.5 million, or $3.87 per diluted share
in 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2021, adjusted EBITDA rose
19.0% to $449.0 million, compared with $377.3 million in 2020.
Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 170 basis points to
50.4% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared with 48.7% in
the previous year.
Balance Sheet / Capital Management
On December 31, 2021, the Company entered into the Third
Amendment to the Credit Agreement and obtained incremental term
loans (the “2021 Incremental Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal
amount of $505 million and used the proceeds to fund the
acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of WestEnd and to pay
fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The 2021
Incremental Term Loans will mature in 2028 and will bear interest
at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either
LIBOR (adjusted for reserves and subject to a 50 basis point floor)
plus a margin of 2.25% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of
1.25%. The 2021 Incremental Term Loans will amortize at a rate of
1.00% per annum.
Total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2021 was $1,151
million and consisted of an existing term loan balance of $646
million and the 2021 Incremental Term Loans balance of $505
million.
Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company reduced outstanding
debt on the 2021 Incremental Term Loans by $55.0 million.
During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 122 thousand
shares under the 10b-5 plan.
Today, the Company’s Board of Directors declared another
increase in our quarterly cash dividend, which was raised to $0.25
per share, a 47% increase over the dividend declared in the prior
quarter. The dividend is payable on March 25, 2022, to shareholders
of record on March 10, 2022. In the future, potential increases to
the Company’s cash dividend rate will be assessed annually.
The December 31, 2021 balance sheet is pending the completion of
the provisional WestEnd purchase price allocation and will be
included in the 2021 Form 10-K.

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.
