AssetMark Reports $90.8B Platform Assets for First Quarter 2022

 

CONCORD, Calif., April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AssetMark Financial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMK) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

 

First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operational Highlights

 

Net income for the quarter was $22.2 million, or $0.30 per share.

Adjusted net income for the quarter was $28.8 million, or $0.39 per share, on total revenue of $148.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $44.5 million, or 30.0% of total revenue.

Platform assets increased 15.1% year-over-year, but declined 2.9% quarter-over-quarter to $90.8 billion, due to negative market impact net of fees of $4.8 billion, partially offset by quarterly net flows of $2.1 billion.

Year-to-date annualized net flows as a percentage of beginning-of-year platform assets were 9.1%.

More than 5,700 new households and 195 new producing advisors joined the AssetMark platform during the first quarter. In total, as of March 31, 2022 there were over 8,700 advisors (approximately 2,800 were engaged advisors) and over 215,000 investor households on the AssetMark platform.

We realized an 18.7% annualized production lift from existing advisors for the first quarter, indicating that advisors continued to grow organically and increase wallet share on our platform.  

“Our latest Outsourcing Survey shows that advisors who outsource reported stronger client relationships, increased acquisition and retention of clients, and higher asset totals. For these reasons and more, we expect outsourcing growth to continue and we are well-positioned to capitalize on the trend,” said Natalie Wolfsen, CEO of AssetMark. “The strength of our first-quarter results is a testament to the value we provide our advisors and their clients. Year over year, we saw double-digit growth in key operational and financial metrics, and we will look to continue this momentum through 2022.”

Explanations and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net income, all of which are non-GAAP measures, are useful in evaluating our performance. We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net income to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that such non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, such non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.  

Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and less interest income), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and other adjustments set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful financial metrics in assessing our operating performance from period to period because they exclude certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business, such as certain material non-cash items and other adjustments such as share-based compensation, strategic initiatives and reorganization and integration costs. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our reported GAAP results, provide useful information to investors regarding our performance and overall results of operations for various reasons, including:

 

non-cash equity grants made to employees at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular

8

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

time; as such, share-based compensation expense is not a key measure of our operating performance; and

 

costs associated with acquisitions and the resulting integrations, debt refinancing, restructuring, litigation and conversions can vary from period to period and transaction to transaction; as such, expenses associated with these activities are not considered a key measure of our operating performance.

 

We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin:

 

as measures of operating performance;

 

for planning purposes, including the preparation of budgets and forecasts;

 

to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;

 

to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies;

 

in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance; and

 

as considerations in determining compensation for certain employees.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation to, or as substitutes for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

 

adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect all cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

 

adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect interest expense on our debt or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments; and

 

the definitions of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin can differ significantly from company to company and as a result have limitations when comparing similarly titled measures across companies.

“Share-based compensation” represents granted share-based compensation in the form of RSA, restricted stock unit, stock option, and stock appreciation right grants by us to certain of our directors and employees. Although this expense occurred in each measurement period, we have added the expense back in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA because of its noncash impact.

(2)

“Reorganization and integration costs” includes costs related our functional reorganization within our Operations, Technology and Retirement functions as well as duplicate costs related to the outsourcing of back-office operations functions. While we have incurred such expenses in all periods measured, these expenses serve varied reorganization and integration initiatives, each of which is non-recurring. We do not consider these expenses to be part of our core operations.

(3)

“Acquisition expenses” includes employee severance, transition and retention expenses, duplicative general and administrative expenses and other professional fees related to acquisitions.

(4)

“Business continuity plan” includes incremental compensation and other costs that are directly related to a transition to and hiring of a primarily remote workforce and other costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(5)

“Office closures” represents one-time expenses related to closing facilities.

“Share-based compensation” represents granted share-based compensation in the form of RSA, restricted stock unit, stock option, and stock appreciation right grants by us to certain of our directors and employees. Although this expense occurred in each measurement period, we have added the expense back in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA because of its noncash impact.

(2)

“Reorganization and integration costs” includes costs related to our functional reorganization within our Operations, Technology and Retirement functions as well as duplicate costs related to the outsourcing of back-office operations functions. While we have incurred such expenses in all periods measured, these expenses serve varied reorganization and integration initiatives, each of which is non-recurring. We do not consider these expenses to be part of our core operations.

(3)

“Acquisition expenses” includes employee severance, transition and retention expenses, duplicative general and administrative expenses and other professional fees related to acquisitions.

(4)

“Business continuity plan” includes incremental compensation and other costs that are directly related to a transition to and hiring of a primarily remote workforce and other costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(5)

“Office closures” represents one-time expenses related to closing facilities.

Adjusted Net Income

 

Adjusted net income represents net income before: (a) share-based compensation expense, (b) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, (c) acquisition and related integration expenses, (d) restructuring and conversion costs and (e) certain other expenses. Reconciled items are tax effected using the income tax rates in effect for the applicable period, adjusted for any potentially non-deductible amounts. We prepared adjusted net income to eliminate the effects of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We have historically not used adjusted net income for internal management reporting and evaluation purposes; however, we believe that adjusted net income, viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and overall results of operations for various reasons, including

the following:

 

non-cash equity grants made to employees at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time; as such, share-based compensation expense is not a key measure of our operating performance;

 

costs associated with acquisitions and related integrations, restructuring and conversions can vary from period to period and transaction to transaction; as such, expenses associated with these activities are not considered a key measure of our operating performance; and

 

amortization expense can vary substantially from company to company and from period to period depending upon each company’s financing and accounting methods, the fair value and average expected life of acquired intangible assets and the method by which assets were acquired; as such, the amortization of intangible assets obtained in acquisitions is not considered a key measure of our operating performance.

 

Adjusted net income does not purport to be an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities. The term adjusted net income is not defined under GAAP, and adjusted net income is not a measure of net income, operating income or any other performance or liquidity measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, adjusted net income has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation to, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

adjusted net income does not reflect all cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

adjusted net income does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and

12

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

other companies in the financial services industry may calculate adjusted net income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

The schedule set forth below presents the Company’s GAAP results from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (unaudited) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, with certain line items adjusted for the items described above. Included below is also a reconciliation from net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted net income for the three months and years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited).

In Q1 2022, we began using the diluted GAAP shares outstanding given that our restricted stock awards fully vested in 2021 resulting in no material reconciling differences compared to the adjusted diluted common shares outstanding historically used for calculating adjusted earnings per share.
