- GMV of $163.6 million — Revenue of $50.6 million — GAAP Net Loss of $(3.7) million
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $(0.2) million
- Double-Digit Organic GMV Growth Year-Over-Year, excluding completed DoD Surplus Contract
BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Liquidity Services (NASDAQ:LQDT) (www.liquidityservices.com), a global solution provider in the reverse supply chain with the world’s largest marketplace for business surplus, today announced financial results for the third quarter fiscal year 2018 ended June 30, 2018. The company’s Q3-FY18 performance exceeded our guidance range for GAAP Net Loss, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, GAAP EPS, and Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS and was within guidance range for gross merchandise volume (GMV).
“Our third quarter results reflect successful execution of our growth strategy as we generated double-digit organic GMV growth, excluding the completed DoD Surplus contract, and positive operating cash flow. We achieved year over year GMV growth of approximately 12% in our RSCG segment, 13% in our GovDeals segment, and 13% growth in our CAG segment excluding the DoD contracts. Notably, our RSCG segment had strong performance from existing clients as programs with manufacturers and large retailers expanded; our GovDeals segment continued to sign new clients and saw an increase in high value assets sold through its marketplace; and our industrial vertical within the CAG segment closed several large transactions across North America, EMEA, and Asia. We also achieved better than expected bottom line results due to a more favorable mix of higher margin transactions, lower than expected consulting fee expenses related to our LiquidityOne initiative, and lower corporate spending. The strength in the business during Q3-FY18 was partially offset by continued softness in our energy vertical,” said Bill Angrick, chairman and CEO of Liquidity Services. “We are pleased with our performance as we focus on driving higher recovery through technology and innovation that improves the customer experience. We added over 375 new seller accounts and nearly 26,000 new registered buyers in the third quarter, reflecting the value of our transformation in better solving the needs of our sellers and buyers across our business segments and verticals. As previously announced on July 10, 2018, we acquired Machinio Corp which operates a robust online equipment listing marketplace, with over 1.2 million assets for sale, valued at over $25 billion, and 10 million annual website visits across 190 countries. This acquisition supports our strategy as the world’s largest marketplace for business surplus by expanding the services and channels we offer our sellers to maximize recovery and growing our network of buyers in important global equipment verticals, including construction, machine tool, transportation, printing and agriculture.”
Update on LiquidityOne
Our LiquidityOne transformation initiative will deliver an improved online marketplace platform and related tools to enhance our customer experience, operations and ability to scale to a much larger business. As planned, we successfully released an enhanced version of our GovDeals and AuctionDeals self-service marketplaces in Q3-FY18 that improves the back office support we provide our customers and internal operations teams. In addition, we made substantial enhancements to our LiquidityOne returns management software platform to support the needs of retailers and manufacturers. We expect to deploy our enhanced e-commerce capabilities to all our existing marketplaces by the end of calendar year 2018, while preparing for the retail liquidation marketplace launch soon thereafter. This initiative will further align our business processes and optimize our platform technology.
Finally, we anticipate the launch of a new consolidated marketplace on our LiquidityOne e-commerce platform in early calendar year 2019, which will serve as a single marketplace to search, find and buy any asset from across our network of marketplaces. We believe a single, unified marketplace will drive increased traffic from our buyer base through more efficient marketing strategies and provide our buyers with a more efficient method of sourcing our global supply of available assets from the most recognizable sellers across the globe. This launch has been delayed to accommodate peak year-end activity.
Third Quarter Consolidated Operating and Earnings Results
The company reported Q3-FY18 GMV, an operating measure of the total sales value of all merchandise sold by us or our sellers through our marketplaces and sales we manage through other channels during a given period of time, of $163.6 million, up from $160.9 million in the prior year’s comparable period. Revenue for Q3-FY18 was $50.6 million, down from $65.5 million in the prior year’s comparable period. GAAP Net loss for Q3-FY18 was $(3.7) million, which resulted in a diluted loss per share of $(0.12) based on a weighted average of 32.1 million diluted shares outstanding, improved from $(8.6) million and $(0.27) respectively, in the prior year’s comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss, which excludes stock compensation expense, impairment and business realignment expenses, acquisition costs, deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments, and the estimated impact of income taxes on these non-GAAP adjustments as well as non-recurring tax adjustments, was $(2.3) million or $(0.07) adjusted diluted loss per share, an improvement from $(7.0) million and $(0.22) respectively, in the prior year’s comparable period.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock compensation expense, impairment and business realignment expenses, acquisition costs, and deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments, was a loss of $(0.2) million, an improvement from the prior year’s comparable period loss of $(5.2) million, representing a $5.0 million improvement despite the completion of the DoD Surplus contract.
Q3-FY18 comparative consolidated financial results reflect double-digit growth in our GovDeals and RSCG segments, growth in our CAG segment, excluding the completed DoD Surplus contract, lower expenses related to our LiquidityOne transformation, and lower expenses due to realignment of our IronDirect business, and restructuring of our CAG segment and corporate functions. These improvements were offset by the completion of our DoD Surplus contract, resulting in the termination of all operation under the DoD Surplus contract, and lower sales volumes in the energy vertical in our CAG segment.
Third Quarter Segment Operating and Earnings Results
We present operating results in three reportable segments: GovDeals, Capital Assets Group (CAG), and Retail Supply Chain Group (RSCG). These three segments constitute approximately 98% of our revenue, and each offers separately branded marketplaces to enable sellers to achieve channel marketing objectives to reach buyers. Across our segments, we offer our sellers various pricing and transaction models as well as a suite of services, and our revenues vary depending upon the pricing models employed and the level of service selected by sellers.

Additional Third Quarter 2018 Operational Results
- Registered Buyers — At the end of Q3-FY18, registered buyers totaled approximately 3,275,000, representing a 5.4% increase over the approximately 3,106,000 registered buyers at the end of Q3-FY17.
- Auction Participants — Auction participants, defined as registered buyers who have bid in an auction during the period (a registered buyer who bids in more than one auction is counted as an auction participant in each auction in which he or she bids), decreased to approximately 512,000 in Q3-FY18, an 11.3% decrease from the approximately 577,000 auction participants in Q3-FY17, largely due to the wind-down of the DoD Surplus contract.
- Completed Transactions — Completed transactions decreased to approximately 121,000, a 9.7% decrease for Q3-FY18 from the approximately 134,000 completed transactions in Q3-FY17.
Business Outlook
We anticipate Q3-FY18 trends to continue into Q4-FY18 except primarily for the seasonal downturn in our GovDeals and RSCG segments and increased cost under our LiquidityOne transformation program in advance of key go-live activities. Compared to Q4-FY17, we expect our results for Q4-FY18 to reflect a significant improvement in Adjusted EBITDA with GMV in-line despite the completion of the DoD Surplus contract.
Lastly, we expect our recent acquisition of Machinio to be cash flow neutral but to have a temporary U.S. GAAP dilutive impact on Q4-FY18 results due to the write off of its deferred revenue at the time of acquisition to reflect U.S. GAAP purchase accounting rules. We expect the dilutive impact to improve every quarter for the next 12 months as new and renewal subscriptions occur. Our guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes purchase accounting adjustments to Machinio’s deferred revenue.
The following forward-looking statements reflect the following trends and assumptions for Q4-FY18:
- negative impact of the completion of the wind-down of our DoD Surplus contract, resulting in the termination of all operations under the DoD Surplus contract;
- increased spending under our LiquidityOne transformation initiative as we continue with our ERP implementation and prepare for the launch of our new e-commerce platform;
- benefits from restructuring and business realignment activities to streamline our organizational processes;
- variability in our CAG industrial and energy verticals related to project size and timing;
- quarterly low seasonality but continued growth in our GovDeals segment; and
- quarterly low seasonality but continued growth in our RSCG segment; and
- as previously reported, Machinio is expected to be cash flow neutral but dilutive to earnings.
For Q4-FY18 our guidance is as follows:
GMV – We expect GMV for Q4-FY18 to range from $140 million to $160 million.
GAAP Net Loss – We expect GAAP Net Loss for Q4-FY18 to range from $(8.5) million to $(5.8) million.
GAAP Diluted EPS – We expect GAAP Diluted Loss Per Share for Q4-FY18 to range from $(0.26) to $(0.18).
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA -We expect non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for Q4-FY18 to range from $(4.0) million to $(2.0) million.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS – We expect non-GAAP Adjusted Loss Per Diluted Share for Q4-FY18 to range from $(0.20) to $(0.12). This guidance assumes a diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter of 32.4 million and that we will not repurchase shares during the quarter with the approximately $10.1 million available under the share repurchase program.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net (loss) income plus interest and other expense, net; benefit for income taxes; and depreciation and amortization. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for stock compensation expense, impairment and business realignment expenses, acquisition costs, and deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments.

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share. Adjusted Net Loss is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net loss plus stock compensation expense, impairment and business realignment expenses, acquisition costs, deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments, and the estimated impact of income taxes on these non-GAAP adjustments as well as non-recurring tax adjustments. Adjusted basic and diluted loss per share are determined using Adjusted Net Loss. For Q3-FY18 the tax rate used to estimate the impact of income taxes on the non-GAAP adjustments was 23.7% compared to 29.0% used for the Q3-FY17 results. The 23.7% tax rate excludes the impact of the charge to our U.S. valuation allowance.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Earnings per Share. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: (a) as measurements of operating performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis as they do not reflect the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations; (b) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget; (c) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; (d) to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies; and (e) to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. Net Loss is used to arrive at EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations, and Adjusted EPS is the result of our Adjusted Net Loss and diluted shares outstanding.
We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our core operating measures. In addition, because we have historically reported certain non-GAAP measures to investors, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, may be found in the financial tables included in this press release.
We are not providing a reconciliation of our guidance for non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to our guidance for GAAP Net Loss because this reconciliation would require us to make projections regarding the amount of stock based compensation expense and benefit for income taxes, which are reconciling items between Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. These items will impact Net Loss and are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted due to their high variability and complexity, and inherent uncertainty. For example, equity compensation expense would be difficult to predict because it depends on our future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are subject to constant change. As a result, the reconciliation is not possible without unreasonable efforts. In addition, we believe such reconciliations could imply a degree of precision that might be confusing or misleading to investors. The actual effect of the reconciling items that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA, when determined, may be significant to the calculation of GAAP Net Loss. As a result, there can be no assurance that such reconciling items will not materially affect our future GAAP Net Loss.
Supplemental Operating Data
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain supplemental operating data as a measure of certain components of operating performance. We discuss GMV because it provides a measure of the volume of goods being sold in our marketplaces or sales we manage on other third-party marketplace channels and thus an operational metric for our market-making activity. GMV and our other supplemental operating data, including registered buyers, auction participants and completed transactions, also provide a means to evaluate the effectiveness of investments that we have made and continue to make in the areas of seller and buyer support, value-added services, product development, sales and marketing, and operations. Therefore, we believe this supplemental operating data provides useful information to both management and investors. In addition, because we have historically reported certain supplemental operating data to investors, we believe the inclusion of this supplemental operating data provides consistency in our financial reporting. This data should be considered in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
