Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2015 Financial Overview

Consolidated Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported after-tax net loss of $6.4 million compared with after tax net income of $8.0 million in the comparable period of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported after tax net income of $11.4 million compared with after tax net income of $15.7 million in the comparable period in 2014. The drivers of the year over year difference in the net loss were higher depreciation and amortization from new investment in real estate at Care, realized and unrealized losses on CLO subordinated note investments, lower distributions received on CLO subordinated notes due to sales of CLO subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2015, higher corporate expenses associated with our effort to improve our controls and financial reporting infrastructure, an increase in the provision for income taxes, the impact of the loss of income from discontinued operations due to our sale of PFG at the end of the second quarter, offset by improved profitability from the addition of Fortegra, growth in specialty finance volumes and margins and increased rental income in our real estate operations. In addition, in the three months ended September 30, 2014, there was a one-time gain of $7.9 million from the repayment of a loan to Care, which impacted the year over year comparison.

The Company’s total adjusted EBITDA was $4.9 million and $50.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared with total adjusted EBITDA of $15.0 million and $37.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The key drivers of the change in Adjusted EBITDA were the same as those which impacted our loss from continuing operations. The smaller decline versus that reported for loss from continuing operations was primarily driven by the elimination of the period over period changes attributable to increased depreciation and amortization at our real estate segment and the purchase accounting impacts of Fortegra.

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides a supplementary metric to enhance investors’ understanding of the on-going earnings potential of the Company’s businesses and an indication of the Company’s ability to generate additional funds for re-investment in the combined businesses. As adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure, it should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP results. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures-EBIDTA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for further information relating to the Company’s adjusted EBITDA measure, including a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Segment Results

Insurance and Insurance Services segment

The Company’s insurance and insurance services segment is comprised of its wholly-owned Fortegra subsidiary, which was acquired in December 2014. The financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 previously reported in Fortegra’s filings with the SEC may not be comparable to financial information reported in this report due to purchase price accounting adjustments giving effect to the push-down accounting treatment of the acquisition. Prior year results in this segment have been reclassified to discontinued operations due to the sale of PFG.

Insurance and insurance services segment pre-tax income was $20.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase over the prior year operating result. Pre-tax income increased $3.8 million from the second quarter primarily due to improved volume in credit and warranty products.

Net revenues were $103.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the third quarter 2015, net revenues were $34.2 million. Adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting, net revenues were $84.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, essentially flat to prior year operating results, and $29.8 million for the third quarter 2015, flat to the previous year operating results.

Credit protection net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, were $17.4 million, a meaningful increase over the prior year operating results. Credit protection net revenues for the nine month period were $47.1 million or slightly higher than the previous year operating results. Cellphone warranty services net revenues for the third quarter were $9.0 million, a slight increase over the prior year operating results. Cell phone warranty products for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $25.4 million, down meaningfully from the prior year operating results. Improvement in specialty products helped close the gap in net revenues in the third quarter due to the competitive pressures in the cellphone warranty business. Specialty products net revenue for the third quarter were $1.3 million, up significantly from the prior year operating results, while specialty products net revenues year to date in 2015 were $4.1 million, nearly twice as much as the prior year operating results. Credit protection products and specialty products continue to provide opportunities for growth through a combination of expanded product offerings, new clients and geographic expansion in the latter case.

Operating expenses in the insurance and insurance services segment are composed of payroll and employee commissions and amortization expenses and other expenses. Segment operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $83.0 million, a meaningful increase from the previous year costs. Operating expenses were $24.1 million in the third quarter, generally flat relative to prior year costs. The primary driver of the year over year increase in costs was attributable to higher depreciation and amortization expense attributable to amortization of the fair value attributed to the insurance policies and contracts acquired of $17.2 million for the nine months and $3.1 million for the quarter, partially offset by cost reduction efforts in the third quarter.

Insurance and insurance services segment adjusted EBITDA was $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $30.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Specialty Finance segment

Specialty Finance segment pre-tax income was $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared with a pre-tax net loss of $703.0 thousand for the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the specialty finance segment pre-tax net income was $2.3 million, compared with a pre-tax net loss of $2.2 million for the prior year comparable period. The Luxury and Siena businesses benefited from an improving US economy. The key drivers of the increase were due both to higher volume in our mortgage origination business, including the impact from the acquisition of Reliance, which resulted in both higher funding volume and improved margins as a result of Reliance’s focus on higher margin FHA/VA and agency production and improved volume at Luxury. The improvement in Siena’s results were primarily the result of increased loan originations and higher utilization rates.

Specialty finance segment adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a loss of $0.6 million in the prior year period. Specialty finance segment adjusted EBITDA was $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a loss of $1.8 million for the prior year period.

Real Estate segment

Care had a pre-tax net loss of $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared with pre-tax net income of $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2014. Care had a pre-tax loss of $8.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with pre-tax income of $5.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In the third quarter of 2014, Care recorded a gain of approximately $7.9 million on the repayment in full to Care of a loan that was secured by real property. Care did not have a similar gain in the third quarter of 2015. Additionally, Care made significant investments in senior housing properties and joint ventures during the latter part of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the number of properties generated higher rental and other income in 2015 compared with 2014, however the Company also incurred additional depreciation, amortization and interest expenses as a consequence of the growth in Care’s property portfolio.

Care had Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $8.6 million in the comparable period of 2014 and $3.9 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $10.2 million in the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to the repayment to Care of the Westside Loan. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Asset Management

Pre-tax net income for the asset management segment was $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared with pre-tax net income of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, a decrease of $201 thousand. Pre-tax net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $6.7 million, compared to $7.2 million in the prior year period. The principal reason for the decline was the reduction in CLO management fees, driven by a combination of amortized AUM and lower fees as described below.

Asset management segment adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2.3 million in the prior year period. Asset management segment adjusted EBITDA was $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $7.2 million for the prior year period. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Net Income attributable to CLOs managed by the Company

Pre-tax net loss from the Company’s CLO business was $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared with pre-tax net income of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. Pre-tax net income attributable to consolidated CLOs was $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 versus $14.5 million in the prior year period. The primary drivers of the decline in 2015 was attributable to realized and unrealized losses incurred on the Company’s holdings of CLO subordinated notes. The Company realized losses with the sale of its subordinated notes issued by Telos 2 and Telos 4 during the second quarter of 2015, which generated net cash proceeds of $39.7 million and tax losses of approximately $12.5 million. The unrealized loss in the third quarter of 2015 was due to the mark-to-market write-down in our CLO subordinated note holdings. The lower distributions from the subordinated notes in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year is primarily due to our sales of CLO subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2015.

Corporate and Other

The Company’s corporate and other segment incorporates revenues from the Company’s investments in CLOs and tax exempt securities, income from the Company’s credit investment portfolio and net gains or losses from the Company’s corporate finance activity, including the interest rate and credit derivative risk mitigation transactions. Segment expenses include interest expense on the Fortress credit facility and head office payroll and other expenses.

Pre-tax loss from the corporate and other segment for the third quarter 2015 was $14.5 million compared to $3.8 million in the comparable period in 2014. Pre-tax loss from the corporate and other segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $31.6 million compared to $3.3 million for the comparable period in 2014. The primary driver of the loss in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 was realized and unrealized net losses on CLO subordinated notes and increased corporate payroll and other expenses as the Company expanded its staff and other professional support as a result of its efforts to improve reporting and controls infrastructure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited, in thousands)

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and for each segment, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide supplemental information useful to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze performance period to period, to analyze a company’s ability to service its debt and to facilitate comparison among companies. We believe segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides additional supplemental information to compare results among our segments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP; therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income of the Company adjusted to add consolidated interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation and amortization expense as presented in our financial statements and Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to (i) subtract interest expense on asset-specific debt incurred in the ordinary course of our subsidiaries’ business operations, (ii) adjust for the effect of purchase accounting, (iii) add significant acquisition related costs and (iv) adjust for significant relocation costs.

Notes:

(1)   The consolidated non-corporate and non-acquisition related interest expense subtracted from Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense associated with asset-specific debt at subsidiaries in the insurance and insurance services, specialty finance, real estate and corporate and other segments. For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, interest expense for the asset-specific debt was $76.0 thousand for insurance and insurance services, $1.2 million for specialty finance, $1.8 million for real estate and $0.4 million for corporate and other, totaling $3.5 million. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, interest expense for the asset-specific debt was $0.5 million for specialty finance, $1.0 million for real estate and $0.6 million for corporate and other, totaling $2.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense for the asset-specific debt was $0.2 million for insurance and insurance services, $2.4 million for specialty finance, $5.0 million for real estate and $0.5 million for corporate and other, totaling $8.1 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense for the asset-specific debt was $1.0 million for specialty finance, $2.9 million for real estate, and $1.1 million for corporate and other segments, totaling $5.0 million.
 
(2)

Tiptree’s purchase of Fortegra resulted in a number of purchase accounting adjustments being made as of the date of acquisition, which included setting deferred cost assets to a fair value of zero, modifying deferred revenue liabilities to their respective fair values, and recording a substantial intangible asset representing the value of the acquired insurance policies and contracts. Following the purchase accounting adjustments, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated by $1.1 million and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated by $5.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated by $5.7 million and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated by $25.7 million. Thus, the purchase accounting effect increased EBITDA by $4.3 million and $20.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, above what the historical basis of accounting would have generated. The impact of purchase accounting has been reversed to reflect an adjusted EBITDA without the purchase accounting effect.

 
(3) Significant acquisition related costs in connection with Care’s acquisition of the Royal Portfolio and Greenfield II Portfolio properties included taxes of $504 thousand, legal costs of $414 thousand and $431 thousand of other property acquisition expenses.
 
(4) See Note 5—Dispositions, Asset Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements contained in Tiptree Financial’s form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, for further discussion of discontinued operations.
 
(5) Significant relocation costs for discontinued operations included expenses incurred in connection with the move of PFAS’s physical location from New Jersey to Philadelphia for the year ended December 31, 2014.
