Management Inc. (NYSE: MDLY) today reported its financial results
for its first quarter ended March 31,
2019 and will host an earnings conference call and audio
webcast Thursday, May 16th at
10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

- Fee earning assets under management were $2.7 billion as of March
31, 2019
- Total assets under management were $4.7
billion as of March 31,
2019
- Total revenues were $13.8 million
for the first quarter ended March 31,
2019
- U.S. GAAP net loss per share attributable to Medley Management
Inc. was $0.02 for Q1 2019

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended
March 31, 2019
Total revenues were $13.8 million
for the three months ended March 31,
2019 compared to $14.4 million
for the same period in 2018. The decrease was due primarily to
lower base management fees from our permanent capital vehicles as a
result of a decrease in fee earning assets under management, partly
offset by an increase in other revenues.
Total expenses from operations were $11.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $12.8 million for the same period in 2018. The
decrease was due primarily to lower professional fees and severance
expense, partly offset by an increase in stock-based
compensation.
Total other income, net was $1.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $11.0 million of other expenses, net for the same
period in 2018. The favorable variance was due primarily to a
$3.5 million unrealized gain on one
of our investments during the quarter compared to a $9.6 million unrealized loss on the same
investment in the comparable period in 2018. The $3.5 million unrealized gain and $6.1 million of the $9.6
million unrealized loss during the same period in 2018 were
allocated to non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries
which did not have any impact on the income attributed to Medley
Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC.
Net loss attributable to Medley Management Inc. and
non-controlling interests in Medley LLC was $0.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2019 compared to net loss
of $5.1 million for the same period
in 2018. Medley Management Inc.'s net loss per share was
$0.02 for the three months ended
March 31, 2019 compared to net loss
per share of $0.26 for the same period in 2018.
Pre-Tax Core Net Income was $0.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to Pre-Tax Core Net
Income of $2.1 million for the same
period in 2018. Core Net Income Per Share was $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to Core Net Income Per
Share of $0.05 for the same period in
2018. Core EBITDA was $3.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2018.

Net Income Margin
equals Net loss attributable to Medley Management Inc. and
non-controlling interests in Medley LLC divided by total
revenue.
|
|
(2)
|
Pre-Tax Core Net
Income is calculated as Core Net Income before income taxes. Core
Net Income reflects net loss attributable to Medley Management Inc.
and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC adjusted to exclude
reimbursable expenses associated with the launch of funds,
stock-based compensation associated with restricted stock units
that were granted in connection with our IPO, non-recurring
expenses associated with strategic initiatives, such as our pending
merger with Sierra, other non-core items and the income tax expense
associated with the foregoing adjustments. Please refer to the
reconciliation of Core Net Income to Net income attributable to
Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC
in Exhibit B for additional details.
|
|
(3)
|
Core EBITDA is
calculated as Core Net Income before interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization. Please refer to the
reconciliation of Core EBITDA to Net income attributable to Medley
Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC in
Exhibit B for additional details.
|
|
(4)
|
Core Net Income Per
Share is calculated as Core Net Income, adjusted for the income tax
effect of assuming that all of our pre-tax earnings were subject to
federal, state and local corporate income taxes, divided by
Pro-Forma Weighted Average Shares Outstanding (as defined
below). We assume that all of our pre-tax earnings are
subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes. In
determining corporate income taxes, we used a combined effective
corporate tax rate of 33.0%. Please refer to the calculation of
Core Net Income Per Share in Exhibit C for additional
details.
|
|
(5)
|
Core Net Income
Margin equals Core Net Income Per Share divided by total revenue
per share.
|
|
(6)
|
The calculation of
Pro-Forma Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the
conversion by the pre-IPO holders of up to 24,705,970 vested and
unvested LLC Units for 24,705,970 shares of Class A common stock at
the beginning of each period presented, as well as the vesting of
the weighted average number of restricted stock units granted to
employees and directors during each of the periods
presented.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements included herein may contain "forward-looking
statements." Statements other than statements of historical facts
included in this press release may constitute forward-looking
statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results
and involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which
change over time. Actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of a
number of factors, including those described from time to time in
filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including those described in the section "Risk Factors" in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2018. Except as required
by law, the Company undertakes no duty to update any
forward-looking statement made herein. All forward-looking
statements made herein speak only as of the date of this press
release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We make reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this
press release. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable financial measures
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP is contained
in the tables attached hereto.
Non-GAAP measures used by management include Pre-Tax Core Net
Income, Core Net Income, Core EBITDA, Core Net Income Per Share and
Core Net Income Margin. Management believes that these measures
provide analysts, investors and management with helpful information
regarding our underlying operating performance and our business, as
they remove the impact of items management believes are not
reflective of underlying operating performance. These non-GAAP
measures are also used by management for planning purposes,
including the preparation of internal budgets; and for evaluating
the effectiveness of operational strategies. Additionally, we
believe these non-GAAP measures provide another tool for investors
to use in comparing our results with other companies in our
industry, many of whom use similar non-GAAP measures. There are
limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures
as compared to the use of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP
financial measure and these measures supplement and should be
considered in addition to and not in lieu of the results of
operations discussed below. Furthermore, such measures may be
inconsistent with measures presented by other companies.
This press release does not constitute an offer for any Medley
fund.

Exchange Commission, press releases, earnings releases and other
