August 09, 2023 at 16:05 PM EDT

DALLAS, Aug. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avantax, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVTA), a leading provider of technology-enabled, tax-intelligent financial solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments

Reported total revenue of $186.9 million, a new record, for the second quarter. This represents an increase of 15% compared to the second quarter of the prior year.
Continued to deliver net positive asset flows for the sixth consecutive quarter with approximately $390 million for the second quarter.
Ended the second quarter with total client assets of $83.8 billion, $42.6 billion of which were advisory assets, representing 50.9% of total client assets, a new record.
Added approximately $141 million of newly recruited assets during the second quarter.
Ended the second quarter with $109.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Implemented a cash sweep hedging program and transacted on multiple derivative instruments which allow the Company to benefit from interest rates up to 5.5%, while protecting against future rate reductions below 2.5%, for a substantial portion of client assets held in the Company’s cash sweep program.

Chris Walters, Chief Executive Officer of Avantax said, “With two quarters behind us as a pure-play wealth management business, we have maintained strong operational performance across several key metrics. We continue to break records in revenue and advisory assets as a percentage of client assets. Also, during the quarter we delivered our sixth consecutive quarter of net positive asset flows and we continue to see a stabilization in our financial professional count.” Mr. Walters continued, “I am also pleased to report that we completed our first acquisition of a wealth management firm not affiliated with Avantax and we look forward to others in the future.”

Notes to Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures

(1)		We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest expense and other, net, acquisition and integration costs, contested proxy and other legal and consulting costs, executive transition costs, TaxAct transaction related costs, reorganization costs, hedging program start-up costs, and income tax (benefit) expense. Interest expense and other, net primarily consists of interest expense, net, unrealized mark-to-market (*“MTM”*) derivative losses (gains) for our interest rate cap derivative instruments, and other non-operating income. It does not include the income associated with the transition services agreement signed in connection with the TaxAct Sale as this income offsets costs included within income from continuing operations, or realized income or loss associated with our interest rate cap derivative instruments. Acquisition and integration costs primarily relate to the acquisitions of Avantax Planning Partners and 1st Global. Hedging program start-up costs include consulting and accounting costs incurred for the implementation of our cash sweep interest rate hedging program.

		We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We use this non-GAAP financial measure for internal management and compensation purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a common measure used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance, that it provides a more complete understanding of the results of operations and trends affecting our business when viewed together with GAAP results, and that management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business and, therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP net income (loss). Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and, therefore, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

		We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of discontinued operations, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs, contested proxy and other legal and consulting costs, executive transition costs, TaxAct transaction related costs, reorganization costs, hedging program start-up costs, unrealized MTM derivative losses (gains) for our interest rate cap derivative instruments, and the related tax impact of those adjustments. Unrealized MTM derivative losses (gains) include the unrealized portion of gains and losses that are caused by changes in the fair values of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP. It does not include realized income or loss associated with these instruments. The tax impact of these adjustments is determined using the income tax rates in effect for the applicable period, adjusted for any potentially non-deductible amounts.

		We believe that Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per share provide meaningful supplemental information to management, investors, and analysts regarding our performance and the valuation of our business by excluding items in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) that we do not consider part of our ongoing operations or that have not been, or are not expected to be, settled in cash. Additionally, we believe that Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per share are common measures used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance and the valuation of our business. Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per share should be evaluated in light of our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per share. Other companies may calculate Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per share differently, and, therefore, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

(2)		As presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

(3)		The breakout of components cannot be determined on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts.

(4)		Any difference in the “per diluted share” amounts between this table and the condensed consolidated statements of operations is due to using different diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the event that there is GAAP net loss but Non-GAAP Net Income and vice versa.
