Fiscal Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenues increased 28% to $1.95 billion from $1.52 billion in the same year-ago quarter due to an increase in gold and silver ounces sold, partially offset by lower average selling prices of gold and silver. JM Bullion (“JMB”) contributed $489.3 million of revenue to the quarter.
Gross profit increased 252% to $65.9 million (3.39% of revenue) from $18.8 million (1.23% of revenue) in the same year-ago quarter. The gross profit increase was due to higher gross profits earned from the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services and Direct-to-Consumer segments, including $29.7 million contributed by JMB.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 119% to $18.7 million from $8.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to $6.9 million of expenses incurred by JMB, $2.3 million of legal consulting and professional fees, increased compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $0.9 million, and higher insurance costs of $0.1 million.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 1,535% to $8.3 million from $0.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to $7.7 million of amortization of acquired intangibles related to JMB.
Interest income increased 16% to $5.3 million from $4.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. The aggregate increase in interest income was primarily due to higher interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment and higher other finance product income.
Interest expense increased 7% to $5.4 million from $5.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by $0.3 million associated with our Trading Credit Facility and Notes Payable (including amortization of debt issuance costs), $0.2 million of loan servicing fees, offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in interest associated with liabilities on borrowed metals.
Earnings from equity method investments decreased 48% to $1.2 million from $2.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The net decrease of $1.2 million includes a $1.9 million decrease related to JMB, a former equity method investment which is now reported by the Company as a wholly owned subsidiary, offset by increased earnings of $0.7 million from our other equity method investments.
Net income attributable to the Company totaled $31.8 million or $2.61 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.9 million or $1.16 per diluted share in the same year-ago quarter. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were 12.2 million compared to 7.7 million in the same year ago quarter.
Adjusted net income before provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and acquisition costs, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled $49.0 million, compared to $12.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase is principally due to higher net income before provision for income taxes of $28.9 million and higher amortization of acquired intangibles of $7.7 million.
Adjusted net income before provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and acquisition costs per diluted share, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $4.02, as compared to $1.64 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and $3.42 for the three months ended September 30, 2021

Management Commentary
“Our results for the second quarter represent a continuation of the favorable macro conditions for our business and the strength of our fully integrated business model,” said A-Mark CEO Greg Roberts. “Precious metals supply remains constrained while demand continues to be robust, resulting in strong pricing premiums for A-Mark given our fully integrated capabilities that provide us with a consistent source of supply. These factors contributed to an 18% sequential increase in gross profit, a 61 basis point increase in our gross margin percentage, and an 8% return on equity.
“Our Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) segment continues to deliver strong results, generating sequential growth in revenue, gross profit and gross profit margin, as JMB continues to execute well and grow its customer base. We are optimistic about our DTC prospects, including the forthcoming rollout of our CyberMetals platform, which remains on track for commercial release this month.
“Favorable business trends have continued into the third quarter, keeping us optimistic about the outlook for A-Mark. We believe our fully integrated business model allows us to generate profit in stable periods and also benefit from the positive macro tailwinds we continue to experience in the market. While our core business remains in a strong position, we continue to evaluate strategic opportunities that can further augment our capabilities and drive strong results for our shareholders over the long term.”

About A-Mark Precious Metals
Founded in 1965, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRK) is a leading fully integrated precious metals platform that offers an array of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper bullion, numismatic coins and related products to wholesale and retail customers via a portfolio of channels. The company conducts its operations through three complementary segments: Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services, Direct-to-Consumer, and Secured Lending. The company’s global customer base spans sovereign and private mints, manufacturers and fabricators, refiners, dealers, financial institutions, industrial users, investors, collectors, and e-commerce and other retail customers.
A-Mark’s Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment distributes and purchases precious metal products from sovereign and private mints. As a U.S. Mint-authorized purchaser of gold, silver, and platinum coins since 1986, A-Mark purchases bullion products directly from the U.S. Mint for sale to customers. A-Mark also has longstanding distributorships with other sovereign mints, including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Mexico, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The company sells more than 200 different products to e-commerce retailers, coin and bullion dealers, financial institutions, brokerages and collectors. In addition, A-Mark sells precious metal products to industrial users, including metal refiners, manufacturers and electronic fabricators.
Through its A-M Global Logistics subsidiary, A-Mark provides its customers with a range of complementary services, including managed storage options for precious metals as well as receiving, handling, inventorying, processing, packaging, and shipping of precious metals and coins on a secure basis. A-Mark’s mint operations, which are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary Silver Towne Mint, enable the company to offer customers a wide range of proprietary coin and bar offerings and, during periods of market volatility when the availability of silver bullion from sovereign mints is often product constrained, preferred product access.
A-Mark’s Direct-to-Consumer segment operates as an omni-channel retailer of precious metals, providing access to a multitude of products through its wholly owned subsidiaries, JM Bullion and Goldline. JM Bullion is a leading e-commerce retailer of precious metals and operates five separately branded, company-owned websites targeting specific niches within the precious metals market: JMBullion.com, ProvidentMetals.com, Silver.com, GoldPrice.org, SilverPrice.org. Goldline markets precious metals directly to the investor community through various channels, including television, radio and telephonic sales efforts. A-Mark also holds minority ownership interests in two additional direct-to-consumer brands.
The company operates its Secured Lending segment through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Collateral Finance Corporation (CFC) and AM Capital Funding. Founded in 2005, CFC is a California licensed finance lender that originates and acquires loans secured by bullion and numismatic coins. Its customers include coin and precious metal dealers, investors and collectors. AM Capital Funding was formed in 2018 for the purpose of securitizing eligible secured loans of CFC.
A-Mark is headquartered in El Segundo, CA and has additional offices and facilities in the neighboring Los Angeles area as well as in Dallas, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Winchester, IN, and Vienna, Austria. For more information, visit www.amark.com.
Important Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release that relate to future plans, objectives, expectations, performance, events and the like are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements regarding future macroeconomic conditions and demand for precious metal products, and the Company’s ability to effectively respond to changing economic conditions. Future events, risks and uncertainties, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results or circumstances to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the following: the failure to execute the Company’s growth strategy as planned; greater than anticipated costs incurred to execute this strategy; changes in the current international political climate which has favorably contributed to demand and volatility in the precious metals markets; increased competition for the Company’s higher margin services, which could depress pricing; the failure of the Company’s business model to respond to changes in the market environment as anticipated; general risks of doing business in the commodity markets; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the eventual return to normalized business and economic conditions; and the strategic, business, economic, financial, political and governmental risks described in in the company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The words "should," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "foresee," "plan" and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Additionally, any statements related to future improved performance and estimates of revenues and earnings per share are forward-looking statements. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to presenting the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, management believes the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance. The Company presents “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” and “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes per diluted share” because management believes these assist investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of period-to-period operational performance on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. The items excluded from these financial measures may have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC.
In the Company’s reconciliation from its reported GAAP “net income before provision for taxes” and “diluted net income per share” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” and “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes per diluted share,” the Company eliminates the impact of the following three amounts: (i) acquisition expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired; and (iii) depreciation expense.
Management encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
