LPL Financial Announces Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Net Revenue Up 13.1%, Advisory Assets Under Management Exceed $100 Billion
Boston, MA — July 27, 2011 — LPL Investment Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LPLA) (the “Company”), parent company of LPL Financial LLC (“LPL Financial”), announced today second quarter net income of $45.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, up $37.5 million compared to second quarter 2010 net income of $8.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $123.0 million, up 12.0% from $109.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted Earnings, which exclude certain non-cash charges and other adjustments, were $58.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, up $12.4 million or 26.7% compared to $46.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2011 increased 13.1% to $894.0 million, from $790.2 million in the prior year period. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, along with an explanation of these metrics, is provided below.
For the first six months of 2011, net income of $94.5 million was up $60.9 million compared to $33.6 million for the same period in 2010. Adjusted Earnings through 2011 year to date was $118.2 million, up 35.0% from $87.5 million for the same period in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2011 increased 14.9% to $247.3 million versus the same period in 2010. Net revenue through 2011 year to date was $1.8 billion, up 15.3% from $1.5 billion for the same period in 2011.
“In the second quarter, the business activities and success of our independent advisors and institutional customers generated continued momentum in our financial and operational performance,” said Mark Casady, LPL Financial chairman and CEO. “While market conditions fluctuated, our advisors remained highly engaged with their clients in support of their comprehensive planning needs. Thus far, market volatility has not changed the outlook of our advisors, and we continue to partner with them to help their clients remain focused on their long-term financial goals.”
During the quarter, total advisory and brokerage assets hit a record level of $340.8 billion. Net new advisory assets were $3.1 billion during the quarter, driving total advisory assets under management to a record $103.2 billion.
Robert Moore, chief financial officer, commented, “Our advisors’ productivity has grown firm revenue and generated recurring revenue of 62%. The fundamentals of the business remain strong, although we continue to monitor market performance, which potentially can have a lagging impact on our advisory-based revenue. In addition, our cash sweep revenue marginally increased year-over-year, as the negative impact of declining interest rates was offset by an increase in our cash balances related to overall asset growth from new business.”
“We are making ongoing investments in our business, particularly in new business development, which adds new advisors and institutional programs to our platform. While these investments yielded an increase in business development expenses year-over-year, our expense rate in 2011 reflects a more normalized level of spending versus the prior year.”
Mr. Moore continued, “The Company continues to generate strong cash flows, providing the resources to make further business investments while also supporting our share repurchase program. For example, in 2011, we have a 50% increase in information technology project spending versus the prior year. These projects create growth opportunities for our advisors, as well as efficiency for them and our company.”

 


 

Mr. Casady concluded, “We remain vigilant stewards of the Company during these moments of market instability. Our singular focus on the needs of our advisors is at the core of our ability to grow and perform through various market cycles.”
Financial Highlights
  Net revenue for the second quarter of 2011 increased 13.1% to $894.0 million from $790.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Key drivers of this growth include:
  °   Total advisory and brokerage assets hit a record level of $340.8 billion as of June 30, 2011, up 23.1% compared to $276.9 billion as of June 30, 2010.
 
  °   Advisory assets in the Company’s fee-based platforms were $103.2 billion at June 30, 2011, up 30.8% from $78.9 billion at June 30, 2010.
 
  °   Net new advisory assets were $3.1 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $2.4 billion for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of strong new business development and mix shift toward more advisory business.
 
  °   Asset-based fees increased by 16.9% due to growth in record-keeping, omnibus processing, and other administrative fees.
 
  °   Approximately 80% of the increase in commissions revenue is from increased sales activity, with the remainder due to increases in market levels.
  Revenues generated from the Company’s cash sweep programs increased by $0.3 million, or 1.0%, to $29.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $29.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase in revenues was driven by growth in assets in the Company’s cash sweep programs, which averaged $19.5 billion for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $18.6 billion in the year-ago quarter, offset by a decrease in the effective federal funds rate, which averaged 0.09% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 0.19% for the same period in the prior year.
 
  Interest expense for the second quarter of 2011 declined $9.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2010, largely as the result of the Company’s debt refinancing in the second quarter of 2010, which included a redemption of its senior unsecured subordinated notes. At current interest rates, the Company expects annual interest savings of approximately $20.0 million.
 
  On April 26, 2011, the Company successfully completed its secondary offering of 6.2 million shares of its common stock by certain minority stockholders at a price to the public of $34.85 per share. The Company did not sell any shares in this offering.
 
  During the second quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased 2.3 million shares of its common stock under its Board of Directors approved open market share repurchase program for a total of $80.0 million, or an average price of $34.84 per share. As of July 1, 2011, the Company had used 100% of the $80.0 million authorized under this program. This share repurchase was undertaken in accordance with the Company’s intention to mitigate dilution from various equity programs over the next two years.
Operational Highlights
  The Company added 594 net new advisors during the twelve months ending June 30, 2011, building relationships with advisors from all channels in the financial services industry.
 
  Assets under custody in the LPL Financial Hybrid RIA platform, which provides integrated fee- and commission-based capabilities for independent advisors, grew to $19.6 billion as of June 30, 2011, and encompassed 128 RIA firms, compared to $8.7 billion and 96 RIA firms as of June 30, 2010. The strong growth in the firm’s RIA business over the last several years makes LPL Financial one of the largest RIA custodians in the industry.

(b)   Represents share-based compensation related to vested stock options awarded to employees and non-executive directors based on the grant date fair value under the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
(c)   Represents acquisition and integration costs resulting from certain of the Company’s acquisitions.
 
(d)   Represents organizational restructuring charges and conversion and other related costs incurred resulting from the 2009 consolidation of Associated Securities Corp., Inc., Mutual Service Corporation and Waterstone Financial Group, Inc. (together, the “Affiliated Entities”) and the 2011 consolidation of UVEST Financial Services Group, Inc. (“UVEST”).
 
(e)   Represents debt amendment costs incurred in 2010 for amending and restating the credit agreement to establish a new term loan tranche and to extend the maturity of an existing tranche on the senior credit facilities.

(f)   Represents excise and other taxes.
 
(g)   EBITDA Adjustments and amortization of purchased intangible assets and software have been tax effected using a federal rate of 35% and the applicable effective state rate, which was 3.30% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, and 4.23% and 4.32% for the corresponding periods in 2010, net of the federal tax benefit. In April 2010, a step up in basis of $89.1 million for internally developed software that was established at the time of the 2005 merger transaction became fully amortized, resulting in lower balances of intangible assets that are amortized.
 
(h)   Represents the after-tax expense of non-qualified stock options in which the Company receives a tax deduction upon exercise, and the full expense impact of incentive stock options granted to employees that have vested and qualify for preferential tax treatment and conversely, the Company does not receive a tax deduction. Share-based compensation for vesting of incentive stock options was $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the three months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010. For the six month periods ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, share-based compensation for vesting of incentive stock options was $2.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

The increase is attributed to the release of the restriction on approximately 7.4 million shares of common stock upon closing of the IPO, the issuance of approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock by the Company pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the IPO, and shares that were issued upon exercise of options by selling stockholders in connection with the IPO, net of any shares retired to satisfy the exercise price in a cashless exercise.

(2)   Advisors are defined as those independent financial advisors and financial advisors at financial institutions who are licensed to do business with the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries.
 
(3)   Advisory and brokerage assets are comprised of assets that are custodied, networked, and non-networked and

    reflect market movement in addition to new assets, inclusive of new business development and net of attrition.
 
(4)   Advisory assets under management, insured cash account balances and money market account balances are components of advisory and brokerage assets.
 
(5)   Represents net new advisory assets that are custodied in our fee-based advisory platforms during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net new advisory assets for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $3.1 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Earnings represent net income before: (a) share-based compensation expense, (b) amortization of intangible assets and software, a component of depreciation and amortization, resulting from previous acquisitions, (c) debt amendment and extinguishment costs (d) restructuring and conversion costs and (e) equity issuance and related offering costs. Reconciling items are tax effected using the income tax rates in effect for the applicable period, adjusted for any potentially non-deductible amounts. Adjusted Earnings per share represents Adjusted Earnings divided by weighted average outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. The Company prepared Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per share to eliminate the effects of items that it does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. The Company believes this measure provides investors with greater transparency by helping illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to results of operations and financial condition and comparability between current and prior periods. Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per share are not measures of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or earnings per share or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and other adjustments set forth in the table above. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company considers it a useful financial metric in assessing the Company’s operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business, such as certain material non-cash items and other adjustments that are outside the control of management. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments.

(1)   Upon closing of the Company’s IPO in the fourth quarter of 2010, the restriction on approximately 7.4 million shares of common stock issued to advisors under the Fifth Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Bonus Plan (the “2000 Stock Bonus Plan”) was released. Accordingly, the Company recorded a share-based compensation charge of $222.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, representing the offering price of $30.00 per share multiplied by 7.4 million shares. This charge has been classified as production expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

(2)   Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to make them consistent with the current period presentation.
 
(3)   The Company reported a low effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010, due to a favorable state apportionment ruling covering the current and previous years and due to the revision of certain settlement contingencies for prior periods. The ruling resulted in a reduction of 27.8% and the revision to settlement contingencies resulted in a reduction of 9.6%, respectively, to the Company’s effective income tax rate.
 
(4)   Represents borrowings on the Company’s senior secured credit facility, senior unsecured subordinated notes, revolving line of credit and bank loans payable.
 
(5)   Production expense is comprised of commission and advisory fees and brokerage, clearing and exchange fees. Production payout excludes brokerage, clearing and exchange fees and is calculated as commission and advisory fees divided by commission and advisory revenues. The production payout for the three months ended December 31, 2010 excludes $222.0 million of production expense resulting from a share-based compensation charge taken at the time of the IPO.
 
(6)   Represents insured cash and money market account balances as of each reporting period.
