Consolidated Performance Overview

GTV increased 4% to $1.1 billion and increased 5% when excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The increase was led by strong growth in online marketplaces of 37%, partially offset by live on site auction volume declining 3%. Despite a strong positive live GTV performance from the US region, overall live was down due to the calendar shift of the larger Moerdijk, Netherlands auction to Q2 2019, lower demand within the energy and the Canadian agriculture sectors, and softer performance at the Dubai, UAE auction from lower demand in the region.

Total revenue increased 18% to $289.8 million with Service revenue growth of 11% and Inventory sales revenue growth of 32%.

Service revenue growth of 11% was driven by commissions revenue increasing 4% and fee revenue increasing 19%. The increase in commissions revenue was in line with higher Service GTV of 2%, and due to strong performance in our US region, where the Company experienced volume growth through both live auctions and weekly featured online businesses, combined with strong growth in the Company's global guarantee rates. The increase in fee revenue was driven primarily by the buyer fees harmonization, fee growth from higher GTV and RBFS fee revenue growth.

Inventory sales revenue increased 32% primarily due to higher inventory volumes at the US live auctions and GovPlanet business.

Costs of services increased 10% to $36.4 million. The increase was primarily in line with growth in services revenue, including  incremental GovPlanet operating costs.

Cost of inventory increased 38% to $102.4 million, in line with the overall increase in inventory sales volume.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 6% to $93.7 million primarily due to higher year-over-year incentive compensation expenses on improved performance and to a lesser extent, on-going incremental GovPlanet costs, partially offset by the positive impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.

Foreign exchange had an unfavourable impact on total revenue and a favourable impact on expenses. These impacts were primarily due to the fluctuations in the Euro and Canadian dollar exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar.

Net income attributable to stockholders increased 9% to $25.3 million. The increase was primarily due to higher operating income, partially offset by a non-recurring gain on sale of equity accounted investment recorded in Q3 2018 and higher taxes due to an increase in the effective tax rate. Adjusted net income attributed to stockholders (non-GAAP measure) increased 31%, to $25.3 million in Q3 2019 compared to $19.3 million in Q3 2018.

Primarily for the same reasons noted above, diluted EPS attributable to stockholders increased 10% to $0.23 per share compared to $0.21 per share in Q3 2018. Diluted adjusted EPS attributed to stockholders (non-GAAP measure) increased 28% to $0.23 in Q3 2019 compared to $0.18 in Q3 2018.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release references to non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Stockholders* and Diluted Adjusted EPS Attributable to Stockholders* Reconciliation
The Company believes that adjusted net income attributable to stockholders* provides useful information about the growth or decline of the net income attributable to stockholders for the relevant financial period and eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items the Company does not consider to be part of the normal operating results. Diluted Adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders* eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items which are after-tax effects of significant non-recurring items that the Company does not consider to be part of the normal operating results, such as acquisition-related costs, management reorganization costs, and certain other items, which the Company refers to as 'adjusting items'.

The following table reconciles adjusted net income attributable to stockholders* and diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders* to net income attributable to stockholders and diluted EPS attributable to stockholders, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the consolidated income statements.

Please refer to page 11 for a summary of adjusting items for the three month and nine month ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

(2)

Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders* represents net income attributable to stockholders excluding the effects of adjusting items.

(3)

Diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders* is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to stockholders*, net of the effect of dilutive
securities, by the  weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding.

 

Adjusted Net Debt* and Adjusted Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA* Reconciliation
The Company believes that comparing adjusted net debt/adjusted EBITDA* on a trailing 12-month basis for different financial periods provides useful information about the performance of the Company's operations as an indicator of the amount of time it would take the Company to settle both the short and long-term debt. The Company does not consider this to be a measure of liquidity, which is the ability to settle only short-term obligations, but rather a measure of how well the Company funds liquidity.

The following table reconciles adjusted net debt* to debt, adjusted EBITDA* to net income, and adjusted net debt*/adjusted EBITDA* to debt/ net income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our consolidated financial statements.

Please refer to page 11 for a summary of adjusting items during the trailing 12-months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA* is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization expenses, interest expense, and income tax expense, and subtracting interest
income from net income excluding the pre-tax effects of adjusting items.

(3)

Adjusted net debt* is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from short and long-term debt.

(4)

Adjusted net debt*/adjusted EBITDA* is calculated by dividing adjusted net debt* by adjusted EBITDA*.

 

Operating Free Cash Flow* ("OFCF") Reconciliation
The Company believes OFCF*, when compared on a trailing 12-month basis to different financial periods provides an effective measure of the cash generated by the business and provides useful information regarding cash flows remaining for discretionary return to stockholders, mergers and acquisitions, or debt reduction. The balance sheet scorecard includes OFCF* as a performance metric. OFCF* is also an element of the performance criteria for certain annual short-term and long-term incentive awards.

The following table reconciles OFCF* to cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure in, or calculated from, the consolidated statements of cash flows:
