Alaris Royalty Corp. Releases Q3 2018 Financial Results

05.11.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAW.

CALGARY, Nov. 05, 2018 - Alaris Royalty Corp. (“Alaris” or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The results are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Q3 2018 Highlights:

  • New partner contribution announced in September 2018 of US$46.0 million to Body Contour Centers, LLC (“BCC”), in exchange for an annual distribution of US$6.4 million. The definitive agreement includes the potential for two additional contributions of US$20.0 million and US$25.0 million when BCC reaches specific financial thresholds.
  • Follow on contribution to Accscient LLC (“Accscient”) of US$7.0 million bringing total capital invested into Accscient to US$30.0 million and run rate distributions of US$4.4 million;
  • With our contributions into BCC and Accscient in the quarter, the Corporation has deployed $126.3 million year to date;
  • Revenue from Partners in the quarter of $22.9 million, or $0.62 per share. The decrease of 4.6% on a per share basis over the prior year period ($23.7 million, $0.65 per share) was due to the overlap of distributions from SBI and Sequel for a one month period in 2017, which added $0.04 per share in the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue has increased 10.8% ($2.05 vs. $1.85 per share) as distributions from new Partners, positive resets for the majority of the portfolio and forgone distributions from Labstat collected on redemption were partially offset by Partner redemptions;
  • Normalized EBITDA in the quarter of $20.2 million, or $0.55 per share. The decrease of 3.5% on a per share basis over the prior year period ($20.7 million, $0.57 per share) was the result of the decrease in quarterly distributions (as noted above) partially offset by lower quarterly corporate expenses. Year to date Normalized EBITDA per share increased by 4.4% as higher distributions were partially offset by higher legal fees incurred in support of existing Partners;
  • Paid $14.1 million in dividends in the three month period and $44.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Actual Payout Ratios of 88.9% and 73.1% respectively. Actual Payout Ratios were lower than expected due to the collection of Agility accrued distributions and additional Labstat distributions in Q1 and Q2 respectively. Adjusting for the one time collection of Agility accrued receivables (Q1) and Labstat forgone distributions (Q2) the payout ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 83.1%;
  • Recorded a $7.1 million increase to investments at fair value during the quarter, as a result of seven positive write ups partially offset by one write down, primarily due to expected net positive distribution resets effective January 1, 2019. Year to date our investments at fair value have increased $11.2 million, or $0.306 per share accretion to book value.
  • Reporting a healthy portfolio of 15 current partners with an average of approximately 18.5 years in business. 7 of those 15 partners have no debt on their balance sheets and two more with less than 1.0x EBITDA of debt.

“We are pleased to be reporting another strong quarter that included revenue and EBITDA as expected, the addition of another high quality partner in Body Contour Centers and a follow on contribution to a high performing partner. The BCC contribution comes with the ability to contribute an additional US$45 million of capital in a relatively short time frame, which bolsters the prospects for future capital deployment within our existing portfolio, which will supplement our continued deployment into new partners”, said Steve King, President and CEO.

1Using the weighted average shares outstanding for the period.

Normalized EBITDA of $0.55 per share decreased 3.5% compared to the three months ending September 30, 2017 due to the Sequel and SBI investment overlap and slightly higher corporate costs, partially offset by positive net deployment and positive distribution resets. Net cash from operating activities was $0.46 per share, a decrease of 23.3% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is a result of a change in working capital as the comparative period included a temporary increase in income taxes payable as a result of the Sequel redemption and resulting gain. Dividends paid were $0.405 per share during three months ended September 30, 2018, an Actual Payout Ratio of 88.9% for the period.

Normalized EBITDA of $1.66 per share increased by 4.4% compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2017 due to higher distributions, partially offset by higher corporate expenses and legal and accounting fees. Net cash from operating activities was $1.66 per share, an increase of 16.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is a result of higher distributions (including Labstat as described above), the collection of US$2.9 million of unpaid distributions upon redemption of the Agility units, and the 2017 Labstat sweep of $4.2 million. Dividends paid were $1.215 per share during nine months ended September 30, 2018, an Actual Payout Ratio of 73.1% for the period. Excluding the one-time collection of the Agility accrued receivables and the collection of the previously forgone distributions from Labstat, the payout ratio would have been 83.1%.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Comprehensive Income, and Statement of Cash Flows are attached to this news release. Alaris’ financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on our website at www.alarisroyalty.com.

About the Corporation:
Alaris provides alternative financing to private companies (“Partners”) in exchange for royalties or distributions with the principal objective of generating stable and predictable cash flows for dividend payments to its shareholders. Distributions from the Partners are adjusted annually based on the percentage change of a “top-line” financial performance measure such as gross margin or same store sales and rank in priority to the owner’s common equity position.

Non-IFRS Measures
The terms EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA and Run Rate Payout Ratio are financial measures used in this news release that are not standard measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The Corporation’s method of calculating EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA and Run Rate Payout ratio may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, the Corporation’s EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA and Run Rate Payout Ratio may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

Run Rate Payout Ratio: refers to Alaris’ total dividend per share expected to be paid over the next twelve months divided by the estimated net cash from operating activities per share Alaris expects to generate over the same twelve month period (after giving effect to the impact of all information disclosed as of the date of this report).

Actual Payout Ratio: refers to Alaris’ total cash dividends paid during the period (annually or quarterly) divided by the actual net cash from operating activities Alaris generated for the period.

EBITDA refers to earnings determined in accordance with IFRS, before depreciation and amortization, net of gain or loss on disposal of capital assets, interest expense and income tax expense. EBITDA is used by management and many investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine the Corporation’s ability to generate cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, income taxes and dividends.

Normalized EBITDA refers to EBITDA excluding items that are non-recurring in nature and is calculated by adjusting for non-recurring expenses and gains to EBITDA. Management deems non-recurring items to be unusual and/or infrequent items that the Corporation incurs outside of its common day-to-day operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the gains on the redemption of the Agility units and the sale of the End of the Roll intangible asset, increase in fair value of investments, previously unrecognized distributions received upon the Labstat redemption and the KMH and Group SM bad debt expense are considered by management to be non-recurring charges. Foreign exchange realized and unrealized gains and losses are recurring but not considered part of operating results and excluded from EBITDA on an ongoing basis. Adjusting for these non-recurring items allows management to assess EBITDA from ongoing operations.

Normalized Earnings refers to earnings excluding items that are non-recurring in nature and is calculated by adjusting for non-recurring expenses, gains, non-cash unrealized gains and losses on foreign exchange items and the net tax impact of the adjustments to earnings. Management deems non-recurring items to be unusual and/or infrequent items that the Corporation incurs outside of its common day-to-day operations. The corresponding tax impact of the all non-recurring items is adjusted in Normalized Earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the gain on the redemption of the Agility units and the sale of the End of the Roll intangible asset and associated tax impact, increase in fair value of investments, previously unrecognized distributions received upon the Labstat redemption and the KMH and Group SM bad debt expense are considered by management to be non-recurring charges. Foreign exchange realized and unrealized gains and losses are recurring but not considered part of operating results and excluded from earnings on an ongoing basis.

The terms EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA should only be used in conjunction with the Corporation’s annual audited and quarterly reviewed financial statements, excerpts of which are available below, while complete versions are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Key assumptions include, but are not limited to, assumptions that the Canadian and U.S. economies will grow moderately in 2018, that interest rates will not rise in a material way over the next 12 to 24 months, that the Partners will continue to make distributions to Alaris as and when required, that the businesses of the Partners will continue to grow, more private companies will require access to alternative sources of capital, and that Alaris will have the ability to raise required equity and/or debt financing on acceptable terms. Management of Alaris has also assumed that capital markets will remain stable and that the Canadian and U.S. dollar trading pair will remain in a range of approximately plus or minus 10% over the next 6 months. In determining expectations for economic growth, management of Alaris primarily considers historical economic data provided by the Canadian and U.S. governments and their agencies.

Additional risks that may cause actual results to vary from those indicated are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Forward Looking Statements” in the Corporation’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is filed under the Corporation’s profile at www.sedar.com and on its website at www.alarisroyalty.com. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking information contained in this news release. Statements containing forward‑looking information reflect management's current beliefs and assumptions based on information in its possession on the date of this news release. Although management believes that the expectations represented in such forward‑looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
