Pzena Investment Management, Inc. Reports Results for the First Quarter of 2016
  • 2016 revenue was $25.8 million for the first quarter.  
  • 2016 GAAP operating income was $10.3 million for the first quarter.  
  • 2016 GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.10 for the first quarter.  For the same period, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.09.  
  • Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share.

NEW YORK, April 19, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pzena Investment Management, Inc. (NYSE: PZN ) reported the following U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

  GAAP Basis   Non-GAAP Basis
  For the Three Months Ended   For the Three Months Ended
  March 31,   March 31,
  2016   2015   2016   2015
  (unaudited)
               
Basic Net Income $ 1,622     $ 1,622     $ 1,439     $ 1,606  
Basic Earnings Per Share $ 0.11     $ 0.12     $ 0.09     $ 0.12  
               
Diluted Net Income $ 6,510     $ 7,927     $ 6,327     $ 8,085  
Diluted Earnings Per Share $ 0.10     $ 0.12     $ 0.09     $ 0.12  
               

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 include adjustments related to the Company's deferred tax asset, valuation allowance and the associated liability to its selling and converting shareholders.  Results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 also include adjustments related to certain non-recurring charges recognized in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2015 associated with our former corporate headquarters.  Management believes that these accounting adjustments add a measure of non-operational complexity which obscures the underlying performance of the business.  In evaluating the financial condition and results of operations, management also reviews non-GAAP measures of earnings, which exclude these items.  Excluding these adjustments, non-GAAP diluted net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $6.3 million and $0.09, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and $8.1 million and $0.12, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  GAAP and non-GAAP net income for diluted earnings per share generally assume all operating company membership units are converted into Company stock at the beginning of the reporting period, and the resulting change to Company GAAP and non-GAAP net income associated with its increased interest in the operating company is taxed at the Company's effective tax rate, exclusive of the adjustments noted above and other adjustments.  When this conversion results in an increase in earnings per share or a decrease in loss per share, diluted net income and diluted earnings per share are assumed to be equal to basic net income and basic earnings per share for the reporting period.

Management uses the non-GAAP measures to assess the strength of the underlying operations of the business.  It believes the non-GAAP measures provide information to better analyze the Company's operations between periods and over time.  Investors should consider the non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Total $ 25,838     $ 27,672     $ 28,653  
           

Revenue was $25.8 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 6.6% from $27.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, and 9.8% from $28.7 million for the first quarter of 2015. 

Included in these amounts were performance fees recognized of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, and $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2015.  In general, performance fees are calculated on an annualized basis over the contract's measurement period, which, for the majority of our performance fee arrangements, extends to three years.

Average assets under management for the first quarter of 2016 were $25.1 billion, a decrease of 4.9% from $26.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2015, and a decrease of 9.1% from $27.6 billion for the first quarter of 2015.  The decreases from the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2015 primarily reflect market depreciation.

The weighted average fee rate was 0.411% for the first quarter of 2016, decreasing from 0.420% for the fourth quarter of 2015, and from 0.415% for the first quarter of 2015. 

The weighted average fee rate for institutional accounts was 0.539% for the first quarter of 2016, increasing from 0.532% for the fourth quarter of 2015, and from 0.536% for the first quarter of 2015.  The increase from last quarter and the first quarter of last year primarily reflects the addition of assets in certain non-U.S. strategies that generally carry higher fee rates during the first quarter of 2016.

The weighted average fee rate for retail accounts was 0.247% for the first quarter of 2016, decreasing from 0.266% for the fourth quarter of 2015, and from 0.256% for the first quarter of 2015.  The decrease from last quarter and the first quarter of 2015 primarily reflects a decrease in retail performance fees. 

Total operating expenses were $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, increasing from $14.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 and decreasing from $15.7 million for the first quarter of 2015.  The increase in operating expenses from the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily reflects an increase in compensation and benefits expense partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative costs during the first quarter of 2016.  We recognized non-recurring lease expenses associated with our former corporate headquarters in the first quarter of 2015 of approximately $0.4 million.  These expenses are included in general and administrative expenses on a GAAP basis and excluded on a non-GAAP basis.  The increase from the first quarter of 2015 is primarily driven by the increase in compensation and headcount as well as the non-recurring lease expenses.  Details of operating expenses and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP operating expenses are shown below:

Operating Expenses (unaudited)

One-Time Adjustments   —     —     (346 )
Non-GAAP Operating Expenses   $ 15,542     $ 14,686     $ 15,327  
             

As of March 31, 2016, employee headcount was 90, up from 88 at December 31, 2015 and from 85 at March 31, 2015. 

The operating margin was 39.8% on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 46.9% for the fourth quarter of 2015, and 45.3% for the first quarter of 2015.  The operating margin was 46.5% on a non-GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2015.

Other (expense)/ income was an expense of approximately $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, income of $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, and an expense of $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2015.  Other (expense)/ income includes the gains/ (losses) and other investment income recognized by the Company on its direct investments, as well as those recognized by external investors on their investments in investment partnerships that the Company consolidates.  A portion of gains/ (losses) and other investment income associated with the investments of outside interests are offset in net income attributable to non-controlling interests.  For the first quarter of 2016, other (expense)/ income also includes an expense of $0.9 million reflecting an increase in the Company's liability to its selling and converting shareholders resulting from an increase in expected future tax benefits described in income tax expense/ (benefit) below.  Changes in the liability to selling and converting shareholders associated with changes in the realizability of the deferred tax asset generated income of $1.2 million and an expense $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2015, respectively.  Details of other (expense)/ income, as well as a reconciliation of the related GAAP and non-GAAP measures, are shown below:

The Company recognized income tax expenses of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2016, $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, and $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2015.  Income taxes for the first quarter of 2016 included a $1.1 million income tax benefit associated with a decrease in the valuation allowance recorded against the Company's deferred tax asset related to the basis step ups created by operating company unit exchanges.  This adjustment generated $1.1 million in income tax expense and $0.3 million in income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2015, respectively.  Details of the income tax expense, as well as a reconciliation of the related GAAP and non-GAAP measures, are shown below:
