GFI Group Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results; Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend Thu, 24 Oct 2013 16:15:46

– GAAP Total Revenues: $212.4 Million; Non-GAAP Total Revenues: $213.2 Million

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — GFI Group Inc. (NYSE: GFIG), a leading provider of wholesale brokerage services, clearing services, and electronic execution and trading support products for global financial markets, reported today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Highlights

  • Non-GAAP net revenues decreased 4.0% to $177.0 million from $184.4 million in the third quarter of 2012.
  • Brokerage revenues declined 7.0% to $151.2 million from $162.5 million in the prior year period. 
  • Revenues from trading software, analytics and market data products were $22.5 million, up 6.0% from $21.2 million in the third quarter of 2012.
  • Compensation and employee benefits expense was 68.4% of net revenues, on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 70.7% in the prior year period.
  • Non-compensation expenses were 30.3% of net revenues, on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 29.7% in the third quarter of 2012.
  • Net income was $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis, compared to $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Cash earnings were $20.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $21.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the same period of 2012.
  • For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, non-GAAP net revenues decreased 5.4% to $574.2 million, from $606.6 million in 2012.  Non-GAAP net income was $15.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $11.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. 

Colin Heffron, Chief Executive Officer commented:  “Lower market volatility in July and August and the early October compliance deadline for Swaps Execution Facilities (“SEFs”) adversely impacted trading volumes in the third quarter.  Despite these factors, GFI’s electronic matching session revenues approximately tripled in cash fixed income and doubled in fixed income derivative products, year over year.   GFI’s trading platforms continue to gain traction across products and regions.  Trayport’s revenues grew 11% year over year in its functional currency, assisted by the evolution of Trayport’s software as a service product and expansion into new asset classes and geographies.    

“Our continued efforts to reduce GFI’s cost base is reflected in an improved adjusted EBITDA and compensation ratio year-over-year, despite the lower revenue environment.

“In October, we successfully commenced operations on the GFI Swaps Exchange, our SEF platform, with proprietary trading technology across asset classes and electronic connectivity to customers, clearers and data warehouses.  We continue to add customers and products to our SEF platform in all asset classes and are pleased with its performance to date.

“GFI’s preliminary October 2013 total revenues are approximately flat when compared to the same period of October last year, while brokerage revenues are tracking down approximately 5%.   We do not currently expect any meaningful increase in volumes in the fourth quarter as our customers continue to adjust to the new regulatory landscape over the next few months.

“GFI’s cash earnings were $0.16 per diluted share, or approximately $20.2 million, in the third quarter of 2013.  We are pleased to declare a quarterly cash dividend to GFI shareholders of $0.05 per share.”

Brokerage revenues were $151.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $162.5 million in the prior year period.  Revenues from fixed income, financial, commodity and equity products were down 5.1%, 1.3%, 8.2% and 16.2%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2012.  By geographic region, brokerage revenues for the third quarter of 2013 decreased 13.3%, 8.3% and 3.4% in Asia-Pacific, EMEA and the Americas, respectively, compared with the same quarter of 2012.

Expenses

For the third quarter of 2013, non-GAAP compensation and employee benefits expense was $121.1 million, or 68.4% of net revenues, compared with $130.4 million, or 70.7% of net revenues, in the third quarter of 2012.  Non-GAAP non-compensation expenses for the third quarter of 2013 were $53.6 million, or 30.3% of net revenues, compared with $54.7 million, or 29.7% of net revenues, in the third quarter of 2012.

Earnings

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012.

GFI’s effective non-GAAP tax rate for the first nine-months of 2013 was 20.0% as compared to a full year rate of 11.9% in 2012.  The increase is primarily driven by a release of a tax liability in 2012, which created an unusually low tax rate for that year.

On a non-GAAP basis, net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $574.2 million, compared to $606.6 million for the same period in 2012.  Non-GAAP net income was $15.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared with net income of $11.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. 

Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors of GFI has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 29, 2013 to shareholders of record as of November 15, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement GFI’s unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by GFI include non-GAAP total revenues, non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP provision for or benefit from income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, cash earnings and cash earnings per share.  These non-GAAP financial measures currently exclude from the Company’s statement of income amortization of acquired intangibles and certain other items that management views as non-operating, non-recurring or non-cash as detailed in the reconciliation included in the financial tables attached to this release.

In addition, GFI may consider whether other significant non-operating, non-recurring or non-cash items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses.  The non-GAAP financial measures also take into account estimated adjustments to income tax expense with respect to the excluded items.

GFI believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business, operating results or future outlook. GFI’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the Company’s performance to prior periods.

In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items GFI excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because when analyzing the operating performance of an acquired business, GFI’s management focuses on the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity, as compared to the purchase price paid) without taking into consideration any charges for allocations made for accounting purposes. Further, because the purchase price for an acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to intangible assets, when analyzing the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, the Company’s management excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets on its financial results. GFI believes that such an approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by an acquisition and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the accounting expense associated with acquired intangible assets.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP is included in the financial tables attached to this release.

Total assets include receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations of $647.0 million and $252.7
million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These receivables primarily represent
securities transactions entered into in connection with our matched principal business which have not settled
as of their stated settlement dates, as well as balances with clearing organizations. These receivables are
substantially offset by corresponding payables to brokers, dealers and clearing
organizations and to clearing customers, for these unsettled transactions.

       
 

(2)

Brokerage personnel headcount includes brokers, traders, trainees and clerks.

       
 

(3)

Broker productivity is calculated as brokerage revenues divided by average monthly brokerage personnel
headcount for the quarter.
