SAN ANTONIO--()--Victory Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VCTR) (“Victory Capital” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“During the third quarter, we made excellent progress toward closing the Amundi transaction,” said David Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We reached a formal agreement early in the quarter and, in October, our shareholders approved all proxy proposals on the ballot at our Special Meeting of Stockholders.

“Integration work is proceeding, and we are working with Amundi’s non-U.S. distribution teams to facilitate sales of our products throughout their global networks and joint ventures upon closing, which we anticipate will occur in the first quarter of 2025. Based on work completed to date, we are maintaining our guidance of $100 million in annualized expense synergies. These expense synergies are expected to be fully realized within two years of closing with the majority achieved within the first year.

“Our business performance was strong through the first nine months of 2024. In the third quarter, we achieved the highest quarterly adjusted earnings per diluted share with tax benefit, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin in the history of our firm. Through the end of September, the percentage of our AUM outperforming benchmarks over the respective 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was 60%, 73%, and 77%. In addition, 67% of our AUM in mutual funds and ETFs was rated four or five stars overall by Morningstar.

“Cash on the balance sheet was $188 million, up $69 million from the end of the second quarter. Our net leverage ratio declined to 1.7x due to growth in Adjusted EBITDA and our increased cash position. Additionally, the Board authorized another 7% increase in our quarterly cash dividend from $0.41 to $0.44 per share, which will be paid in December.

“As always, we continue to focus on serving our clients, which is our top priority.”

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.

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.
