KINGSWAY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

 

Itasca, Illinois (August 5, 2021) - (NYSE: KFS) Kingsway Financial Services Inc. (“Kingsway” or the “Company”) today announced its operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which includes the following highlights:

 

 

Net loss improved to ($0.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from a net loss of ($1.4) million for the same period in 2020

 

Non-GAAP adjusted income grew to $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted loss of ($0.5) million for the same period in 2020

 

Extended Warranty segment operating income increased to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2020,

 

Extended Warranty segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA improved to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $1.4 million for the same period in 2020

 

Refer to “Second Quarter Cash Flows” below for an explanation regarding a one-time, $11.7 million current quarter cash outflow to operating cash flows. Refer to “Leased Real Estate” below for further explanation regarding a $2.9 million non-cash, non-recurring increase in other (expense) income and tax benefit.

 

Non-GAAP Adjusted Income Loss

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) improved to income of $1 million in 2021, from a loss of ($0.5) million in 2020. Included in 2021 are three months of PWI results following its acquisition effective December 1, 2020.

 

Reconciliations of net (loss) income to non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) are presented in the attached schedules.

 

Second Quarter Cash Flows

 

The Company reported year-to-date net cash used in operating activities of ($11.5) million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($1) million for the prior period. A majority of the increase in net cash used in operating activities is related to the monetization of future rental proceeds from the Company’s Leased Real Estate segment.

 

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company borrowed $15.0 million, at an interest rate of 3.2%, against future rental proceeds that were not being used to service the existing mortgage. As a result of this borrowing, the Company paid $11.7 million in management and guarantee fees as per the settlement of CMC litigation, of which $10.6 million is shown as an operating cash outflow in the statement of cash flows. Had the Company not executed the borrowing, this amount would not have been due or paid. See Note 27, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities”, to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for further information on the settlement.

 

As a result of this monetization, the Company retained $2.7 million, which it believes it can deploy and earn a return in excess of the stated interest rate on the borrowed funds.

Extended Warranty

 

The Extended Warranty service fee and commission revenue increased 80.8% (or $8.4 million) to $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of PWI for the three months ended June 30, 2021 following its acquisition effective December 1, 2020. PWI service fee and commission revenue was $7.4 million for the three ended June 30, 2021.

 

The Extended Warranty operating income improved to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in operating income is primarily due to the following:

 

 

$0.8 million due to the inclusion of PWI in 2021 following its acquisition effective December 1, 2020;

 

A $0.2 million increase at IWS to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to a decrease in claims authorized on vehicle service agreements and lower general and administrative expenses that was partially offset by a slight decrease in revenue;

 

A $0.2 million increase at Trinity to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by increased revenues in its equipment breakdown and maintenance support services, as well as an increase in revenue and gross profit on the extended warranty services product, partially offset by a related increase in cost of services sold compared to the same period in 2020;

 

A $0.3 million increase at PWSC to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to an increase in revenue and lower general and administrative expenses; and

 

A $0.2 million decrease at Geminus to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to a decrease in revenue that was partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Extended Warranty Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA improved to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $1.5 million for the same period in 2020, primarily due to the increase in Extended Warranty operating income as explained above.

 

Reconciliations of Extended Warranty operating income to Extended Warranty non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA are presented in the attached schedules.

 

Leased Real Estate

 

The Leased Real Estate contractually-fixed rental income was $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Leased Real Estate operating loss was ($2.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with operating income of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The operating loss is primarily the result of a non-recurring $2.9 million non-cash expense recorded during the second quarter of 2021 to reverse an indemnification receivable that is recorded in other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of operations. This expense is offset by a tax benefit of $2.9 million that is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The decrease is also attributable to management fee expense of $0.2 million as a result of the settlement of CMC litigation.

 

As a result of the monetization explained above, future management fees have been prepaid and will be a non-cash expense going forward. See Note 27, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities”, to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for further information on the settlement.

Non U.S. GAAP Financial Measure

 

The Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and enhances the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA allow investors to make a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s core business operating results over different periods of time. The Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provide useful information about the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by the factors listed in the attached schedules, the Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA can provide useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. Investors should consider these non GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP to understand the Company's performance taking into account all relevant factors.
