HC2 Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results
Net Revenue Up 39% Quarter-Over-Quarter to $281.0 Million; Adjusted EBITDA of $30.8 Million From Our Primary Operating Subsidiaries, Up 117% From Q1
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 08/10/15 -- HC2 Holdings, Inc. ("HC2" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT: HCHC), a diversified holding company that focuses on acquiring, investing in and operating businesses that it considers to be under- or fairly valued and growing its acquired businesses, today announced its consolidated results for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 ended on June 30, 2015.
"We were very pleased with the results of our operating subsidiaries during the second quarter, particularly with Schuff and Global Marine, which more than doubled their combined Adjusted EBITDA compared to the first quarter," said Philip Falcone, HC2's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We remain focused on our objective to build long-term value through our methodical and value added acquisition approach. As a result, we will continue to pursue highly attractive, cash flow positive businesses in order to create value."
HC2 recorded total net revenues of $281.0 million for the second quarter of 2015. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2015 increased $79.2 million, or 39%, when compared to last quarter's net revenue of $201.8 million, primarily driven by the $57.2 million growth of our Telecommunications segment. During the quarter, our Telecommunications segment increase resulted from PTGi ICS's successful overhaul of their global sales team and the expansion into Latin America and other emerging markets.
Operating income for the second quarter was $3.3 million compared to $0.8 million during the first quarter. The increase in operating profit was largely the result of running our fabrication facilities at or near full capacity for the quarter and our ability to sub contract work at lower costs in our Manufacturing segment. This was offset, in part by, early stage investments and increases in deal related diligence expenses in Corporate and Other segments.
HC2 recorded consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $19.5 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 230% when compared to last quarter's Adjusted EBITDA of $5.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the company's primary operating subsidiaries, Schuff and Global Marine, was a combined $30.8 million during the quarter, an increase of $16.6 million when compared to the first quarter largely due to the factors listed above at Schuff along with seasonal trends at Global Marine.
As of June 30, 2015, HC2 had consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $81.2 million.
Schuff's backlog was $329.3 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to $306.1 million as of March 31, 2015. Notable projects include the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles, the Sacramento Kings Arena, and the new Apple headquarters in Cupertino, CA.
Global Marine secured a submarine fibre optic link contract with Subsea 7, a global leader in subsea engineering and construction, and won a pair of high-profile contracts from Tampnet, who operates the largest offshore high-capacity communication network in the world in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Global Marine will also be collaborating again with Prysmian Group on a new project for the Wikinger Offshore Wind Farm in the Baltic Sea.
Novatel Wireless announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of DigiCore Holdings Limited, a leading provider of advanced machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and telematics solutions.
HC2 signed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of long-term care and life insurance businesses, United Teacher Associates Insurance Company and Continental General Insurance Company, establishing HC2's insurance platform, Continental Insurance Group Ltd. This transaction is still on track to close by the end of the third quarter.
Nervve announced an exclusive partnership with Wasserman Media Group, a leading sports and entertainment agency, to bring Nervve's visual search technology to market.
HC2 invested CAD$20 million (or approximately $16 million) in convertible debentures of Gaming Nation Acquisition Corporation. Gaming Nation, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, is a leading provider of both games of skill and games of chance designed for the avid sports fan and daily fantasy sports participants.
Dusenberry Martin Racing, or DMi, Inc., launched its NASCAR® '15 racing game exclusively at GameStop for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in May 2015.
The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for gain (loss) on sale or disposal of assets; interest expense; amortization of debt discount; other income (expense), net; foreign currency transaction gain (loss); income tax (benefit) expense; loss from discontinued operations; noncontrolling interest; share-based compensation expense; acquisition costs and depreciation and amortization expense.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is significant to gaining an understanding of the Company's results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization's operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company's ability to service debt. While management believes that non-US GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company's US GAAP financial results.
