Victory Capital Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCTR) (“Victory Capital” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
“I am pleased to report Victory Capital generated excellent financial results during the first quarter, despite unprecedented challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said David Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Advance preparation proved essential for delivering uninterrupted service to clients and providing safe working conditions for employees. Our comprehensive and thoroughly tested business continuity plan has ensured that all investment activities remain unaffected, and we have been energized by our organization’s ability to seamlessly adapt to challenging circumstances.
“Our cost structure also adjusted in real time with market fluctuations, proving the resiliency of our next-generation business model and contributing to first-quarter results exceeding expectations.
“Four of our investment franchises achieved positive long-term net flows during the quarter, and net outflows from fixed income products held up much better than the industry-wide averages.
“In addition, we took opportunistic action on the capital management front. Early in the quarter, we repriced our term loan to reduce the interest rate spread by 75 basis points. Later in the quarter, we promptly responded to falling interest rates and effectively locked in a rate of 3.465% on the majority of our current debt. At the same time, we maintained a disciplined capital allocation strategy and deployed most of our free cash flow to further reduce debt, while returning some capital to shareholders with steady share repurchases and the cash dividend. Since last year’s origination of the term loan on July 1, we have repaid $217 million and lowered the current outstanding balance to $883 million.
“Looking ahead, we continue to invest to support future growth and remain committed to executing on our strategy to enhance shareholder value. We are still actively evaluating strategic acquisition candidates and conducting due diligence. Persistent market volatility may accelerate industry consolidation and our flexible business model ideally positions us to benefit in this environment. As always, serving the needs of our clients will remain our top priority, and I am more optimistic than ever about our Company’s ability to withstand and thrive in ever-changing market environments.”

2 Long-term AUM is defined as total AUM excluding Money Market and short-term assets.
AUM, Flows and Investment Performance
Victory Capital’s AUM decreased by $28.1 billion to $123.8 billion at March 31, 2020, compared with $151.8 billion at December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to negative market action and net outflows of $25.2 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively. Total gross flows for the first quarter were $14.9 billion. For the first quarter, the Company reported long-term gross flows of $7.3 billion.
As of March 31, 2020, Victory Capital offered 116 investment strategies through its nine autonomous Investment Franchises and Solutions Platform. The table below presents outperformance against benchmarks by AUM as of March 31, 2020.

First Quarter 2020 Compared with Fourth Quarter 2019
Revenue decreased 6.5% to $204.4 million, in the first quarter, compared with $218.6 million in the fourth quarter, reflecting lower average AUM, one less day in the quarter and a decrease in average fee rate realization as a result of AUM mix shift. GAAP operating margin expanded 1,490 basis points in the first quarter to 44.3%, up from 29.4% in the fourth quarter, due to lower cash operating expenses and a $4.6 million net benefit in acquisition-related expenses. In the prior quarter, acquisition related expenses totaled $22.3 million. Adjusting for the impact of acquisition-related expenses, quarter-over-quarter expenses declined $13.7 million, or 10.4%, reflecting the Company’s variable cost structure. First quarter GAAP net income rose 52% to $57.2 million, up from $37.6 million in the prior quarter. On a per-share basis, GAAP net income advanced 51% to $0.77 per diluted share in the first quarter, versus $0.51 per diluted share in the fourth quarter.
Adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 6% to $68.5 million in the first quarter, down from $72.8 million in the fourth quarter. On a per-share basis, adjusted net income with tax benefit decreased 7% to $0.92 per diluted share in the first quarter, from $0.99 per diluted share in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 11% to $91.5 million in the first quarter, versus $102.3 million in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 200 basis points in the first quarter of 2020 to 44.8% compared with 46.8% in the prior quarter.
First Quarter 2020 Compared with First Quarter 2019
Year-over-year results reflect the acquisition of the USAA Asset Management Company, which closed on July 1, 2019. The acquisition significantly impacted our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020, rose 134% to $204.4 million, compared with $87.5 million in the same quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher average AUM as a result of the acquisition.
GAAP operating margin was 44.3% in the first quarter, a 1900 basis point increase from the 25.3% recorded in the same quarter of 2019 primarily due to improved operating leverage. Operating expenses increased 74% to $113.8 million, compared with $65.4 million in last year’s first quarter, reflecting the Company’s larger scale and new call center dedicated to serving USAA members. GAAP net income rose 294% to $57.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the first quarter compared with $14.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2019.
Adjusted net income with tax benefit advanced 171% to $68.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in the first quarter, compared with $25.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA rose 172% to $91.5 million, compared with $33.6 million in last year’s same quarter. Year-over-year, adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 640 basis points to 44.8% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 38.4% in the same quarter last year.
Balance Sheet / Capital Management
During the first quarter, the Company reduced outstanding debt by an additional $38 million. To date, the Company has reduced total debt by $217 million, since July 1, 2019. On January 21, 2020, the Company repriced its Term Loan, lowering the interest rate spread by 75 basis points, from 3.25% over LIBOR, to 2.50% over LIBOR. On March 27, 2020, the Company executed a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction to effectively fix the interest rate at 3.465% on $450 million of its outstanding Term Loan.
Today, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on June 25, 2020, to shareholders of record on June 10, 2020.

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.
