Liquidity Services, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2008 Financial Results

– Fiscal year revenue of $263.9 million up 33% – Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $359.7 million up 54% – Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $26.2 million up 29% –

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:LQDT; www.liquidityservicesinc.com)
today reported its financial results for its fiscal year (FY-08) and
fourth quarter (Q4-08) ended September 30, 2008. Liquidity Services,
Inc. is a leading online auction marketplace for wholesale surplus and
salvage assets.

Liquidity Services, Inc. (LSI or the Company) reported record
consolidated FY-08 revenue of $263.9 million, a growth rate of
approximately 33% over the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for FY-08 was a
record of $26.2 million, a growth rate of approximately 29% over the
prior year. FY-08 GMV, the total sales volume of all merchandise sold
through the Company’s marketplaces, was a record $359.7 million, a
growth rate of approximately 54% over the prior year.

The Company reported consolidated Q4-08 revenue of $70.4 million, a
growth rate of approximately 36% over the prior year’s comparable
period. Adjusted EBITDA for Q4-08 was $7.1 million, a growth rate of
approximately 22% over the prior year’s comparable period. GMV was $99.7
million for Q4-08, a growth rate of approximately 72% over the prior
year’s comparable period.

Net income in FY-08 was a record $11.6 million or $0.41 diluted earnings
per share. Adjusted net income in FY-08 was a record $14.2 million, a
growth rate of approximately 17% over the prior year, or $0.51 adjusted
diluted earnings per share, a growth rate of approximately 19% over the
prior year.

Net income in Q4-08 was $2.7 million or $0.10 diluted earnings per
share. Adjusted net income in Q4-08 was $3.4 million, or $0.12 adjusted
diluted earnings per share. Q4-08 net income and earnings per share were
lower than expected as a result of a significant increase in the
Company’s effective tax rate for the year to 42.5% from an expected 41%.
This impacted the tax provision for Q4-08 resulting in an effective tax
rate for the quarter of 46.8%. The increase in the Company’s effective
tax rate was the result of an increase in the blended effective tax rate
for the states in which the Company operates. Management expects the
Company to have a future effective tax rate of approximately 43%.

“Overall, LSI delivered strong results during Q4-08 capping another
record year for LSI as we grew GMV in all major areas of our business,”
said Bill Angrick, Chairman and CEO of LSI. “Despite a weakening
economy, LSI grew consolidated GMV by 54% over the prior year, or 28%
excluding our GovDeals and Geneva businesses, and generated cash from
operating activities of approximately $29.0 million during the year and
$12.4 million during the fourth quarter. Our surplus business GMV grew
approximately 24% over the prior year and our scrap business GMV grew
approximately 48% over the prior year. Our commercial business GMV grew
approximately 23% over the prior year driven by strong GMV growth in the
consignment model, which was up approximately 80% for the fourth
quarter, over the prior year comparable period, and 23% over the prior
year. Our GovDeals acquisition added $54.6 million in consignment GMV
for the last nine months of the year, significantly ahead of plan. Our
buyer marketplace continues to deliver strong results for our sellers as
we ended the year with over 999,000 registered buyers, which is up
approximately 46% over the prior year, including the addition of 51,000
new registered buyers in the fourth quarter.”

“Our increased diversification and financial strength will enable us to
take advantage of opportunities created by the current economic
recession and emerge as an even stronger player in the reverse supply
chain market,” said Mr. Angrick. “We plan to take the following key
actions during FY09 which we believe will build long term value for our
stockholders: (i) launch and grow our new surplus contract with the DoD,
(ii) improve operations and service levels in our commercial business
which did not meet our target profitability in FY08, (iii) make our
marketplaces more flexible and easier to use for sellers and buyers, and
(iv) expand and further segment our seller and buyer base to increase
their participation in our marketplace.”

Business Outlook

We are in a period of economic uncertainty and unprecedented market
volatility which makes it difficult for us to forecast business trends,
resulting in a wider than usual guidance range. In the short term, we
believe changes in consumer spending patterns may impact the overall
supply of goods in the reverse supply chain and the volume of goods sold
in our commercial marketplace. In the longer term, we expect our
business to benefit from the following trends: (i) as consumers trade
down and seek greater value, we anticipate stronger buyer demand for the
surplus merchandise sold in our marketplace, (ii) as corporations and
public sector agencies are focused on reducing costs and improving
working capital flows by outsourcing reverse supply chain activities we
expect our seller base to increase, and (iii) as corporations and public
sector agencies increasingly prefer service providers with a proven
track record and demonstrated financial strength we expect our
competitive position to strengthen.

The following forward looking statements reflect the following trends
and assumptions for FY 2009:

(i)		lower commodity prices which will reduce the GMV and profit realized in our scrap business;
(ii)		new business rules under our new DoD Surplus Contract which will remove selected items from the product pool that we historically handled and sold, resulting in lower GMV in our surplus business;
(iii)		upfront costs associated with launching our new DoD Surplus Contract, including the hiring of new staff and the opening of two new warehouses totaling 665,000 square feet in Columbus, Ohio and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;
(iv)		the continued sale throughout FY2009 of property received, prior to December 18, 2008, under our current Surplus Contract;
(v)		improved operations and service levels in our commercial business which will improve margins during FY2009.

Our results may be materially affected by changes in business trends and
our operating environment, as well as by other factors, including
investments we expect to make in our infrastructure and value-added
services to support new business in both commercial and public sector
markets.

Our Scrap contract with the DoD includes an incentive feature, which can
increase the amount of profit sharing distribution we receive from 23%
up to 25%. Payments under this incentive feature are based on the amount
of scrap we sell for the DoD to small businesses during the preceding 12
months as of June 30^th of each year. We are eligible to
receive this incentive in each year of the term of the Scrap contract
and have assumed for purposes of providing guidance regarding our
projected financial results for fiscal year 2009 that we will again
receive this incentive payment.

Our guidance adjusts EBITDA and Diluted EPS for the effects of FAS
123(R), which we estimate to be approximately $1.6 million to $1.8
million per quarter for fiscal year 2009.

GMV – We expect GMV for fiscal
year 2009 to range from $400 million to $420 million. We expect GMV for
Q1-09 to range from $80 million to $84 million.

Adjusted EBITDA – We expect
Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2009 to range from $22 million to $26
million. We expect Adjusted EBITDA for Q1-09 to range from $3.0 million
to $4.0 million.

Adjusted Diluted EPS – We estimate
Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share for fiscal year 2009 to range from
$0.45 to $0.47. In Q1-09, we estimate Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted
Share to be $0.06 to $0.07. This guidance does not reflect the impact of
the stock repurchase program described below.

On December 2, 2008, LSI’s board of directors approved a stock
repurchase program. Under the program, the Company is authorized to
repurchase up to $10 million of the issued and outstanding shares of its
common stock. Share repurchases may be made through open market
purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at times and
in such amounts as management deems appropriate. We expect to commence
the repurchase program during calendar year 2009. The timing and actual
number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors
including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market
conditions. The repurchase program may be discontinued or suspended at
any time, and will be funded using the Company’s available cash.

Key FY-08 and Q4-08 Operating Metrics

Registered Buyers — At the end of
FY-08, registered buyers totaled approximately 999,000, representing a
46% increase over the approximately 685,000 registered buyers at the end
of FY-07.

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), increased to approximately 1,751,000 in FY-08, an approximately
57% increase over the approximately 1,115,000 auction participants in
FY-07. Auction participants increased to approximately 467,000 in Q4-08,
an approximately 59% increase over the approximately 293,000 auction
participants in Q4-07.

Completed Transactions — Completed
transactions increased to approximately 372,000, an approximately 76%
increase for FY-08 from the approximately 212,000 completed transactions
in FY-07. Completed transactions increased to approximately 109,000, an
approximately 95% increase for Q4-08 from the approximately 56,000
completed transactions in Q4-07.

GMV and Revenue Mix — GMV and
revenue continue to diversify due to the continued growth in our scrap
businesses and the addition of GovDeals. As a result, the percentage of
GMV and revenue derived from the DoD Surplus Contract (under which our
revenue is based on the profit-sharing model) during FY-08 decreased to
23.0% and 31.3%, respectively, compared to 28.8% and 33.9%,
respectively, in the prior year period. The table below summarizes GMV
and revenue by pricing model.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP
Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net
income plus (a) interest expense (income) and other income, net;
(b) provision for income taxes; (c) amortization of contract
intangibles; and (d) depreciation and amortization. Our definition of
Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for
stock based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with 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 and Adjusted Net Income 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.

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 generally accepted accounting
principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior
to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in
this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, can
be found in the financial tables included in this press release.

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 review GMV
because it provides a measure of the volume of goods being sold in our
marketplaces and thus the activity of those marketplaces. 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 customer 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 generally accepted
accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or
superior to, GAAP results.
