NEW YORK, May 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CIFC Corp. (NASDAQ: CIFC) ("CIFC" or the "Company") today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Highlights

  • Fee Earning Assets Under Management ("Fee Earning AUM" or "AUM") from loan-based products was $14.0 billion as of March 31, 2015, as compared to $13.7 billion as of December 31, 2014 and $12.3 billion as of March 31, 2014. 
    • During the first quarter of 2015, the Company sponsored the issuance of one new CLO and increased subscriptions to Non-CLO products that, together, represented $796.2 million of new AUM.
  • Management Fees increased by $2.1 million or 15% as compared to the same period in the prior year.
  • Economic Net Income ("ENI", a non-GAAP measure) for the first quarter of 2015 was $11.1 million as compared to $13.2 million for the same period in the prior year.
  • GAAP net income (loss) for the first quarter of 2015 was $5.4 million as compared to $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year.
  • CIFC declares a cash dividend of $0.10 per share. The dividend will be paid on June 15, 2015 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2015.

Executive Overview

During the first quarter of 2015, issuance in the CLO primary market continued at the robust pace seen in 2014. Overall, the loan market remains well supported by favorable supply / demand technicals and solid credit fundamentals. Given low default conditions, the relative value of the asset class remains attractive. We issued our first CLO of 2015 for $600.0 million increasing our loan-based AUM to a record $14.0 billion, representing a year over year increase of 14%.

First Quarter Overview

CIFC reported ENI of $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to $13.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Management fees increased by $2.1 million or 15% as our Fee Earning AUM from CLOs and Non-CLO products continued steady growth year over year. The increase was offset by $1.2 million or 23% decrease in Incentive Fees due to (i) timing of CLOs being called and (ii) run-off in AUM of certain legacy CLOs. Net Investment Income remained relatively flat compared to the same period in the prior year. ENI decreased by $2.1 million or 16% primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefits and other operating expenses to support the growth of our business. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in corporate interest expense as compared to the same period in the prior year. CIFC converted its Convertible Notes in July 2014 and reduced its corporate interest expense. 

CIFC reported GAAP net income attributable to CIFC Corp. of $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to $0.2 million in the same period of the prior year. GAAP operating results increased by $5.2 million from the same period of the prior year due to a $9.3 million reduction in income tax expense. The income tax expense for the first quarter 2014 included approximately $6.4 million related to the write-down of deferred tax assets related to changes in New York State tax laws. The reduction of income tax expense was partially offset by (i) the $2.1 million decrease in ENI noted above, (ii) a $0.8 million reduction in revenues from fee sharing (GAAP presents fees gross of fee sharing), and (iii) $1.1 million write off of fund setup expenses for new funds that were consolidated (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for a reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP ENI).

Fee Earning AUM

Fee Earning AUM or AUM refers to the assets managed by the Company on which it is paid management fees and/or incentive fees. Generally, with respect to CLOs, management fees are paid to the Company based on the aggregate collateral balance at par plus principal cash, and with respect to Non-CLO funds, the value of the assets in such funds (excluding non-fee earning AUM such as the Company's investments).

During the quarter, CIFC (i) sponsored the issuance of one new CLO for $600.0 million of new AUM, and (ii) received subscriptions to its existing credit funds. New AUM was partially offset by declines in Fee Earning AUM for certain CLOs which have reached the end of their reinvestment periods. The overall net increase in Fee Earning AUM was $357.2 million for the quarter.

Explanatory Notes:


(1)

Table excludes Fee Earning AUM attributable to non-core products of $667.3 million, $687.6 million and $768.6 million as of March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Fee Earning AUM attributable to non-core products is expected to continue to decline as these funds run-off per their contractual terms.

(2)

Fee Earning AUM is based on the latest available monthly report issued by the trustee or fund administrator prior to the end of the period, and may not tie back to Consolidated GAAP financial statements.

(3)

Legacy CLOs represent all managed CLOs issued prior to 2011, including CLOs acquired since 2011 but issued prior to 2011.

(4)

Management fees for Non-CLO products vary by fund and may not be similar to a CLO.

The following graph illustrates that since 2012, CIFC has raised $9.5 billion new AUM, which has more than offset the run-off from Legacy CLOs (including acquired CLOs) through organic growth. Our Legacy CLO AUM of $4.6 billion is only a third of our total loan-based AUM of $14.0 billion.

Explanatory Notes:


(1)

Pursuant to GAAP, investments in consolidated CLOs, warehouses and certain Non-CLO products are eliminated from "Investments" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Appendix for a Reconciliation from GAAP to Non-GAAP - Consolidated Balance Sheets for further details.

(2)

From time to time, the Company establishes "warehouses", entities designed to accumulate investments in


advance of sponsoring new CLOs or other funds managed by the Company.  To establish a warehouse, the Company contributes equity capital to a newly formed entity which is typically levered (three to five times) and begins accumulating investments.  When the related CLO or fund is sponsored, typically three to nine months later, the warehouse is "terminated", with it concurrently repaying the related financing and returning to the Company its equity contribution. Gains or losses may be netted against the Company's equity contribution depending on whether warehouse assets are transferred at market value or cost.

Long Term Debt

Excluding non-recourse variable interest entity ("VIE") debt, the Company had $120.0 million of Junior Subordinated Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2015, which mature in 2035 and have a weighted average interest rate of 3 month LIBOR + 2.77% over the term of the loans.

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 our core business (excluding non-core products). We believe ENI reflects the nature and substance of the business, the economic results driven by management fee revenues from the management of client funds and earnings on our investments. ENI represents net income (loss) attributable to CIFC Corp. excluding (i) income taxes, (ii) merger and acquisition related items including fee-sharing arrangements, amortization and impairments of intangible assets and gain (loss) on contingent consideration for earn-outs, (iii) non-cash compensation related to profits interests granted by CIFC Parent in June 2011, (iv) revenues attributable to non-core investment products, (v) write off of setup expenses for new funds that are consolidated and (vi) other non-recurring items.

The Deconsolidated Non-GAAP Statements represent the Consolidated GAAP statements adjusted to eliminate the impact of the Consolidated Entities. On the Statement of Operations, the Company has reclassed the sum of Net results of Consolidated Entities, Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in Consolidated Entities and Net gain (loss) on investments to the Deconsolidated Non-GAAP line items that represent its characteristics: management fees and interest income. On the Balance Sheets, the Company has excluded amounts related to all consolidated entities. Management uses these Non-GAAP statements in addition to Consolidated GAAP Statements to measure the performance of its core asset management business.

EBIT and ENI 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. ENI EBIT represents ENI before corporate interest expense and ENI EBITDA represents ENI EBIT before depreciation of fixed assets, a non-cash item.

ENI, ENI EBIT and ENI 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, ENI EBIT and ENI EBITDA should be considered as an addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

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

Explanatory Notes:


(1)

The Company shares management fees on certain of the acquired CLOs it manages (shared with the party that sold the funds to CIFC). Management fees are presented on a gross basis for GAAP and on a net basis for Non-GAAP ENI.

(2)

Employee compensation has been adjusted for non-cash compensation related to profits interests granted to CIFC employees by CIFC Parent and sharing of incentive fees with certain former employees established in connection with the Company's acquisition of certain CLOs from Columbus Nova Credit Investments Management, LLC ("CNCIM").

(3)

Fund setup expenses are written-off upfront for GAAP purposes and are amortized over the life of the fund for Non-GAAP ENI.

(4)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, other non-recurring represents litigation expenses and certain professional services. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, other non-recurring represents additional gains from contingent payments collected on the 2012 sale of the Company's rights to manage Gillespie CLO PLC of $0.2 million.
