Moelis & Company (“we” or the “Firm”) (NYSE:MC) today reported financial
results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. The Firm’s total
revenues of $128.7 million for the quarter represented an increase of
30% from the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income was $34.1
million or $0.42 per share (diluted).
First nine month revenues were $374.9 million, increasing 46% from the
first nine months of 2013 and resulting in $96.9 million of Adjusted net
income or $1.19 per share (diluted). These results exclude $110.9
million of pre-tax one-time charges primarily associated with
accelerating the vesting of equity in connection with the Firm’s IPO
completed in April.
On a GAAP basis, the Firm reported net income of $32.8 million or $0.40
per share (diluted) for the quarter and a net loss of $5.7 million or
$0.82 per share (diluted) for the year-to-date period. The GAAP loss for
the year-to-date period is primarily driven by the one-time acceleration
of equity vesting that occurred in connection with our IPO and the fact
that the allocation of income to shareholders only began following the
IPO closing on April 22, 2014.
The Firm is committed to returning capital to shareholders and declared
a special dividend of $1.00 per share in addition to a regular quarterly
dividend of $0.20 per share. The special dividend primarily reflects our
strong operating cash flows and includes a one-time cash tax benefit
that arose in connection with our IPO. Given the Firm’s limited public
float, we intend to initially return capital to shareholders primarily
through dividends until stock repurchases make sense for our Firm and
our shareholders.
“We continue to be pleased with our strong financial performance in our
first year as a public company. Our record third quarter results
demonstrate the continued improvement in the M&A environment, the
strength of our ‘One Firm’ advisory model and the earnings power of our
franchise,” said Ken Moelis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Against the backdrop of an accelerating M&A market, our ability to
integrate advice across a wide range of sectors, geographies and
advisory services contributed to broad based revenue growth for our
Firm. Notably, our business in Europe performed very well as our team
continues to build momentum in the region. During the third quarter, we
continued to execute on our strategy for profitable growth and ended the
quarter with 96 Managing Directors, up from 88 Managing Directors as of
the end of the second quarter.”
“Today’s dividend announcements underscore our strong financial
discipline, the operating leverage in our capital light model and our
commitment to return capital to shareholders while continuing to invest
in expanding our business around the needs of our clients.”
The Firm’s revenues and net income can fluctuate materially depending
on the number, size and timing of completed transactions on which it
advised as well as other factors. Accordingly, financial results
in any particular quarter may not be representative of future results
over a longer period of time.

Moelis & Company completed its IPO on April 22, 2014 and introduced a
new corporate structure. The Adjusted results included herein
remove the impact of charges related to the Firm’s IPO and reflect the
allocation of net income to noncontrolling interests (72%) and to
holders of Class A common stock (28%) as if the Firm had been operating
in its new corporate structure since January 1, 2014. We believe
the Adjusted results, when presented together with comparable GAAP
results, are useful to investors to compare our performance across
periods and to better understand our operating results. A
reconciliation of our GAAP results to our Adjusted results is presented
in the Appendix to this press release.
Revenues
For the third quarter of 2014, revenues were $128.7 million, as compared
with $98.7 million in the third quarter of 2013, representing an
increase of 30% and our best third quarter of revenues on record. The
growth in revenues was primarily driven by an improving M&A environment
and increased activity levels as clients evaluated and executed a wide
range of strategic alternatives.
For the first nine months of 2014, revenues were $374.9 million, as
compared with $257.1 million in the same period of 2013, representing an
increase of 46%. This compares favorably with an 11% increase in the
number of global completed M&A transactions and a 9% increase in global
completed M&A volume in the same period and demonstrates our continued
advisory market share gains.1 While the number of clients we
advised was relatively consistent year-over-year (we earned revenues
from 206 clients as compared with 201 clients during the same period in
2013), the number of clients who paid fees equal to or greater than $1
million increased from 74 clients in the first nine months of 2013 to 99
clients in the same period of 2014.
We continued to execute on our strategy for profitable expansion. In the
third quarter, we hired Eric Cantor, former U.S. House Majority Leader,
as Vice Chairman and Managing Director, to provide strategic counsel to
the Firm’s clients and play a leading role in client development. Mr.
Cantor was also elected to the Firm’s Board of Directors. In addition,
we announced the appointment of Jan Caspar Hoffmann in Frankfurt to
provide M&A and corporate finance advice to clients across the
German-speaking region and the rest of Europe.

Total operating expenses on an Adjusted basis were $91.4 million for the
third quarter of 2014 as compared with GAAP operating expenses of $84.2
million for the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of
2014, Adjusted operating expenses were $264.0 million as compared with
$220.6 million for the same period of 2013. The increase in operating
expenses in 2014 primarily resulted from increased compensation and
benefits expenses consistent with increased revenues as well as
increased non-compensation expenses reflecting a more active business
and recruiting environment and expenses incurred in connection with
operating as a public company. The pre-tax income margin improved from
15% on a GAAP basis in both the third quarter and first nine months of
2013 to 30% on an Adjusted basis in the same periods of 2014.
In the third quarter of 2014, compensation and benefits expenses on an
Adjusted basis were $66.7 million, or 52% of revenues, which compares
with GAAP compensation and benefits expenses of $65.0 million, or 66% of
revenues, for the third quarter of 2013. In the first nine months of
2014, compensation and benefits expenses on an Adjusted basis were
$196.0 million, or 52% of revenues, which compares with GAAP
compensation and benefits expenses of $167.0 million, or 65% of
revenues, for the first nine months of 2013. Adjusted compensation and
benefits expenses for the first nine months of 2014 exclude $104.8
million of compensation charges primarily driven by the vesting
acceleration of equity held by Managing Directors, which occurred in
connection with our IPO. Following the vesting acceleration, pre-IPO
equity held by our Managing Directors is subject to a minimum four to
six year lock-up and is reflected in our fully exchangeable share count
of 55.2 million shares of Class A common stock.2 As annual
equity compensation granted in the future accumulates and amortizes, we
expect that our compensation expense ratio will continue to increase
toward our targeted long-term compensation ratio of approximately 57% to
58% of revenues.
Non-compensation expenses were $24.7 million for the third quarter of
2014 as compared with $19.2 million for the same period of the prior
year. The increase in non-compensation expenses was primarily driven by
increased recruiting activity and new business development. Our
non-compensation expense ratio remained steady at 19% in the third
quarter of both 2013 and 2014.
For the first nine months of 2014, Adjusted non-compensation expenses
were $68.0 million as compared with GAAP non-compensation expenses of
$53.7 million for the same period of the prior year. The year-to-date
2014 Adjusted amounts exclude $3.7 million of one-time charges primarily
related to the acceleration of vesting of equity held by non-employees
of the Firm, including employees of our joint venture in Australia and
members of our Global Advisory Board. Our non-compensation expense ratio
decreased from 21% of revenues on a GAAP basis in the first nine months
of 2013 to 18% of revenues on an Adjusted basis in the first nine months
of 2014, in-line with our long-term target of approximately 15% to 18%
of revenues.
Provision for Income Taxes
Prior to our IPO, the Firm was not subject to federal income taxes, but
was primarily subject to New York City unincorporated business tax. As a
result of completing our IPO in April, we have a new corporate structure
and 28% of the operating partnership (Moelis & Company Group LP) is
owned by the corporation (Moelis & Company) and is subject to U.S.
federal income tax as a corporation. On a GAAP and Adjusted basis, our
provision for income taxes was $4.7 million and $4.9 million,
respectively, for the third quarter of 2014 and $5.8 million and $14.1
million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continue to maintain a strong financial position and as of September
30, 2014, we held cash and short term investments of $216.1 million and
had no debt on our balance sheet.
Special and Quarterly Dividend
The Board of Directors of Moelis & Company has declared a special
dividend of $1.00 per share in addition to a regular quarterly dividend
of $0.20 per share. The $1.20 per share will be paid on November 24,
2014 to common stockholders of record on November 10, 2014.
These actions reflect Moelis & Company’s strong cash flow generation and
commitment to its capital light business model by returning excess
capital to shareholders.

October 29, 2014, accessible via telephone and the internet. Ken Moelis,

indicated in these statements. For a further discussion of such factors,
you should read the Firm’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Firm undertakes no obligation to publicly update or
review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future developments or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted results are a non-GAAP measure which better reflect
management’s view of operating results. We believe that the disclosed
Adjusted measures and any adjustments thereto, when presented in
conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to
understand the Firm’s results given the significant accounting impact of
one-time charges and timing matters related to the Firm’s recent IPO.
These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior
to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted results is presented in the
Appendix.
