Victory Capital Reports Record Fourth-Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Fourth Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Total Assets Under Management (AUM) of $183.7 billion1
  • Long-term gross flows of $5.5 billion
  • Long-term net outflows of $3.4 billion
  • GAAP operating margin of 39.2%
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin of 50.2%2
  • GAAP net income of $0.94 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income with tax benefit of $1.27 per diluted share2
  • Board authorizes 47% increase in regular quarterly cash dividend

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.”

The table below presents AUM, and certain GAAP and non-GAAP (“adjusted”) financial results. Due to rounding, AUM values and other amounts in this press release may not add up precisely to the totals provided.

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.
