NEW YORK, Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sequential Brands Group, Inc. (“Sequential” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:SQBG) today announced the completion of its debt refinancing and the financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.
“We’re pleased with our second quarter results and the solid performance of our core brands," said Karen Murray, CEO of Sequential Brands Group. “The completion of our refinance strengthens our capital structure as we focus on executing on our growth strategy. We thank our lenders for their ongoing support.”
Completion of Debt Refinancing:
On August 7, 2018, the Company entered into amended credit agreements with its existing lenders, led by Bank of America and certain funds managed by FS/KKR Advisor, LLC. This refinancing extends the first lien debt maturities to 2023 and the second lien to 2024, and improves our capital structure by shifting over $100 million of debt into the first lien credit facility, thereby, meaningfully reducing our weighted average interest rate.
Second Quarter 2018 Results:
As previously disclosed, effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted a new revenue recognition standard ("ASC 606"), which impacted the Company’s reported revenue. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which means that the total amount of revenue reported for the 2017 periods has not been restated in the current financial statements. In the interest of comparability during the transition year to ASC 606, the Company will provide revenue, net income and earnings per share information in accordance with both ASC 606 and revenue recognition rules in effect prior to the adoption of ASC 606 (“ASC 605”).
- Revenue for the second quarter 2018 was $42.2 million. Under ASC 605, revenue for the second quarter 2018 would have been $43.0 million, compared to $42.1 million in the second quarter 2017.
- On a GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter 2018 was $3.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share. Under ASC 605, GAAP net income for the second quarter 2018 would have been $4.0 million or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $2.5 million or $0.04 per diluted share in the second quarter 2017.
- On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter 2018 was $7.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Under ASC 605, non-GAAP net income for the second quarter 2018 would have been $7.8 million or $0.12 per diluted share, flat compared to second quarter 2017. See Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.
- Adjusted EBITDA (defined under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the second quarter 2018 was $24.7 million. Under ASC 605, Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2018 would have been $25.3 million, compared to $24.7 million in the second quarter 2017.
Year-to-Date 2018 Results:
- Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $80.3 million. Under ASC 605, revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have been $82.4 million, compared to $81.5 million in the prior year period.
- On a GAAP basis, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.3 million or $0.02 per diluted share. Under ASC 605, GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have been $2.8 million or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million or $0.02 per diluted share in the prior year period.
- On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $10.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Under ASC 605, non-GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have been $12.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $13.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior year period. See Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $45.9 million. Under ASC 605, Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have been $47.8 million, compared to $47.7 million in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release contains historical and projected measures of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to Sequential Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, excluding interest income or expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, deal advisory costs, non-cash compensation, costs incurred in connection with CEO transition, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSLO) shareholder and pre- acquisition litigation costs, realized loss on the sale of available-for-sale securities, other non-cash items, loss on sale of assets, net of non-controlling interest, debt refinancing costs, and severance. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures which represent net income (loss) attributable to Sequential Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, excluding deal advisory costs, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments to stock-based compensation provided to non-employees, costs incurred in connection with CEO transition, MSLO shareholder and pre-acquisition litigation costs, realized loss on the sale of available-for-sale securities, other non-cash items, loss on sale of assets, net of non-controlling interest, debt refinancing costs, and adjustment to taxes. These non-GAAP metrics are an alternative to the information calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as provided in the reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies and should only be used in conjunction with the Company’s results reported according to GAAP. Any financial measure other than those prepared in accordance with GAAP should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We consider these measures to be useful measures of our ongoing financial performance because they adjust for certain costs and other events that the Company believes are not representative of its core licensing business. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP metrics from the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

For comparability during the transition from ASC 605 to ASC 606, financial information for 2018 is also shown as adjusted to the previous accounting guidance.

| (3) | Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures which represent net income attributable to Sequential Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries, excluding deal advisory costs, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments to stock-based compensation provided to non-employees, costs incurred in connection with CEO transition, MSLO shareholder and pre-acquisition litigation costs, realized loss on sale of available-for-sale securities, other non-cash items, loss on sale of assets, net of non-controlling interest, debt refinancing costs, and adjustments to taxes. Management uses this information to measure performance over time on a consistent basis and to identify business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
