  • Fourth quarter adjusted operating earnings per diluted share was $6.94, up 13 percent from the prior year period driven by strong business performance and capital return to shareholders. Full year adjusted operating earnings per diluted share excluding unlocking increased 11 percent to $25.14.

 

Perspective from Jim Cracchiolo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

“Ameriprise delivered excellent results in the quarter with operating EPS up 13 percent, capping off a strong year, with full year operating EPS(4) up 11 percent, reaching a new high of $25.14.

 

“We achieved record results in 2022 that demonstrate the strength, diversification and capabilities of our business. Wealth Management client flows for the year hit a new high reflecting our proven, advice-based client experience and broad suite of solutions. In addition, we are seeing strong growth across our cash offerings including at the bank – a significant benefit in this rising interest rate environment.

 

“Our Retirement and Protection Solutions business also benefited from increased spread revenue and had a good quarter. And while our Asset Management business was impacted by the industry-wide pressure from lower markets and volatility, we remained focused on executing our strategic priorities, including the integration of the BMO EMEA business.

 

“Capital management is a differentiator for Ameriprise. As we grow, we consistently generate significant free cash flow across our business that we reinvest in the business and return to shareholders. In 2022, we returned approximately 85 percent of earnings to shareholders, including devoting $1.9 billion to share repurchases and a double digit increase in our dividend.

 

“Ameriprise is well-positioned to build on our momentum in 2023.”

 

 

  • Fourth quarter GAAP net income per diluted share was $4.43 compared to $5.96 a year ago, primarily reflecting market impacts on the valuation of derivatives. Full year GAAP net income per diluted share decreased 2 percent to $22.51.

 

  • Pretax adjusted operating earnings reached a new high of $973 million, up 9 percent, from excellent growth in the Wealth Management business. The Advice and Wealth Management margin reached a new record high of 30 percent.

 

  • Adjusted operating net revenues of $3.6 billion declined only 2 percent in the quarter, as excellent growth in Wealth Management largely offset a reduction in Asset Management fees from market depreciation.

 

  • Advice & Wealth Management total client flows were $12.4 billion in the quarter, reaching a record high of $42.5 billion for the year, and Ameriprise Bank and Certificate Company assets grew to $29 billion.

 

  • Investment performance at Columbia Threadneedle Investments remained strong in a volatile market environment with 131 funds with 4- and 5-star Morningstar ratings.

 

  • The company returned $610 million of capital to shareholders in the quarter and $2.4 billion for the full year driven by strong balance sheet fundamentals and significant free cash flow generation.

 

  • For the fourth consecutive year, Ameriprise was recognized by J.D. Power for providing “an outstanding customer service experience” for phone support for advisors.(3)

 

(1) Return on equity excluding AOCI is calculated on a trailing 12-month basis.

(2) Unlocking impacts reflect the company’s annual review of insurance and annuity valuation assumptions and model changes, and the Long Term Care (LTC) gross premium valuation.

(3) J.D. Power 2022 Certified Customer Service ProgramSM recognition is based on successful completion of an evaluation and exceeding a customer satisfaction benchmark through a survey of recent servicing interactions. For more information, visit http://www.jdpower.com/ccc.

Advice & Wealth Management pretax adjusted operating earnings increased 41 percent to $665 million, and the pretax adjusted operating margin reached a new record of 30 percent. This strong performance was a result of continued significant organic growth with flows into advisory and brokerage accounts. The strategy to expand Ameriprise Bank and Certificate Company drove 59 percent asset growth for these businesses. The advisor base continues to build with excellent advisor retention, strong recruiting and increased productivity.

Net revenues increased 5 percent as client inflows, higher investment income from bank growth and rising interest rates more than offset lower fees related to market depreciation and lower client activity, consistent with industry trends.

Adjusted operating expenses declined 5 percent to $1.6 billion compared to a year ago. Distribution expenses declined 10 percent primarily from lower markets. G&A and other expenses were $408 million, reflecting investments for business growth, including the bank, as well as higher volume-related activity from client inflows. Prior year G&A expenses included unusually low staffing levels and limited travel and entertainment expense. The company continues to manage expenses prudently.

Wealth Management delivered robust organic growth. Clients and advisors remained engaged and focused on positioning portfolios to meet financial planning goals in the face of a challenging market environment.

  • Total client net flows were strong at $12.4 billion, evenly split between flows into advisory and non-advisory accounts, a mix shift that was consistent with the current market environment. For the full year, total client flows hit a new high of $42.5 billion.
  • Total AWM cash balances increased 8 percent to $47.2 billion and 2 percent on a sequential basis. These cash balances provide important flexibility to drive sustainable financial benefits.
  • Adjusted operating net revenue per advisor on a trailing 12-month basis was up 4 percent to $827,000, reflecting the impact of the market environment.
  • Total advisors increased 2 percent to 10,269 with excellent advisor retention and the addition of 72 experienced advisors in the quarter.

Asset Management results in the quarter were impacted, like the industry, by the challenging market environment and $12 million of negative mark-to-market impacts.

Pretax adjusted operating earnings and adjusted operating net revenues declined to $146 million and $785 million, respectively, primarily from lower fee revenue resulting from market depreciation and net outflows, as well as mark-to-market impacts in the quarter and timing of performance fees. Earnings from performance fees were $30 million higher in the prior year. Net pretax adjusted operating margin was 29 percent in the quarter.

Adjusted operating expenses decreased 12 percent. G&A and other expenses continue to be well managed, down 6 percent. Distribution expenses decreased 22 percent primarily from market depreciation and lower sales.

Total AUM decreased 23 percent to $584 billion primarily from market depreciation. Investment performance remained strong in a volatile environment with 131 funds with 4- and 5-star Morningstar ratings.

In the quarter, net outflows were $0.4 billion and included $1.7 billion of outflows related to legacy insurance partners. Institutional inflows continued to offset elevated retail outflows.

  • Retail net outflows were $3.7 billion, which included reinvested dividends. In North America, there were outflows in equity and fixed income strategies, similar to industry trends. In EMEA, outflows persisted as investor sentiment remained weak from higher interest rates and geopolitical strain.
  • Global institutional net inflows were $5.0 billion primarily from liability-driven investing mandates.

Retirement & Protection Solutions continues to generate strong free cash flow with a differentiated risk profile. We took strategic actions in the quarter to reposition the investment portfolio to extend duration to capture benefits from higher interest rates, a portion of which was recognized in the quarter.

Pretax adjusted operating earnings were $229 million, up 25 percent from last year, primarily due to higher investment income, lower amortization of deferred acquisition cost and lower sales levels.

Retirement & Protection Solutions sales continued to reflect muted overall industry sales levels as well as management actions to optimize our business mix. Protection sales decreased 30 percent to $68 million, primarily related to the market environment. The majority of sales remain in higher-margin accumulation VUL products. Variable annuity sales decreased 39 percent to $0.9 billion, reflecting the discontinuation of sales with living benefit riders that was completed in June, as well as the industry slowdown due to market dislocation.

Retail Fund performance rankings for each fund are measured on a consistent basis against the most appropriate peer group or index. Peer groupings of Columbia funds are defined by Lipper category and are based on the Primary Share Class (i.e., Institutional if available, otherwise Advisor or Instl3 share class), net of fees. Peer groupings of Threadneedle funds are defined by either IA or Morningstar index and based on the Primary Share Class. Comparisons to Index are measured Gross of Fees.

 

 

 

 

 

To calculate asset weighted performance, the sum of the total assets of the funds with above median ranking are divided by total assets of all funds. Funds with more assets will receive a greater share of the total percentage above or below median.

 

 

 

 

 

Aggregated Asset Allocation Funds may include funds that invest in other Columbia or Threadneedle branded mutual funds included in both equity and fixed income.

 

 

 

 

 

Morningstar as of 12/31/22. Columbia funds are available for purchase by U.S. customers. Out of 104 Columbia funds rated (based on primary share class), 15 received a 5-star Overall Rating and 35 received a 4-star Overall Rating. Out of 157 Threadneedle funds rated (based on primary share class), 27 received a 5-star Overall Rating and 54 received a 4-star Overall Rating. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Not all funds are available in all jurisdictions, to all investors or through all firms.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 increased $2.3 million to $9.1 million from $6.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The $2.9 million increase in provision for credit losses, or 3 cents per share after tax, was due to strong growth in loans and commitments.

Total net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $0.3 million compared to total net recoveries of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net charge-offs on equipment financing loans of $0.5 million.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.29 percent of total loans and leases at December 31, 2022, compared to 1.27 percent at September 30, 2022, and 1.38 percent at December 31, 2021.

Total nonperforming assets decreased $3.0 million to $15.3 million at December 31, 2022 from $18.3 million at September 30, 2022.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 increased $2.2 million to $47.2 million from $45.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $1.2 million in compensation and employee benefits, $0.7 million in equipment and data processing expense, $0.5 million in professional services expense, $0.3 million in FDIC insurance expense, $0.2 million in other non-interest expense, and $0.1 million in occupancy expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in merger and acquisition expense and a decrease of $0.3 million in advertising and marketing expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 17.8 percent and 21.6 percent for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 compared to 18.7 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 25.9 percent and 25.3 percent for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Certain statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We may also make forward-looking statements in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in our annual reports to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees. You can identify forward looking statements by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “outlook,” “will,” “should,” and other expressions that predict or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters, including statements regarding the Company’s business, credit quality, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Forward-looking statements may differ, possibly materially, from what is included in this press release due to factors and future developments that are uncertain and beyond the scope of the Company’s control. These include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated by the acquisition of PCSB; turbulence in the capital and debt markets; changes in interest rates; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; general economic conditions (including inflation) on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Company operates; changes in consumer behavior due to changing political, business and economic conditions, or legislative or regulatory initiatives; changes in the value of securities and other assets in the Company’s investment portfolio; increases in loan and lease default and charge-off rates; the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses; decreases in deposit levels that necessitate increases in borrowing to fund loans and investments; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and future pandemics; changes in regulation; the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions and adverse economic developments; the risk that goodwill and intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; and changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among others, the risks outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Aspen Technology Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2023

Aspen Technology Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2023

BEDFORD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Aspen Technology, Inc. (AspenTech) (NASDAQ: AZPN), a global leader in industrial software, today announced financial results for its second-quarter fiscal 2023, ended December 31, 2022.

“AspenTech’s second quarter results reflected continued, strong end market demand and the benefit of the addition of the OSI and SSE businesses to heritage AspenTech. We made significant progress on our integration and transformation initiatives and we believe we are well positioned to deliver on our full year operational and financial objectives,” said Antonio Pietri, President and Chief Executive Officer of AspenTech.

“AspenTech is playing an essential role in helping our customers meet the demand for the products that support greater global prosperity while achieving their sustainability goals and ambitions,” Pietri added. “Delivering on both goals is the core of our Dual Challenge mission. Our customers have validated this value proposition and recognize our unique position to help them achieve it. We are confident these imperatives will enable AspenTech to deliver attractive growth and profitability over the long-term.”

Second Quarter and Fiscal Year 2023 Recent Business Highlights

  • Annual contract value, which we define as the estimate of the annual value of our portfolio of term license and software maintenance and support, or SMS, contracts, the annual value of SMS agreements purchased with perpetual licenses and the annual value of standalone SMS agreements purchased with certain legacy term license agreements, which have become an immaterial part of our business, was $833.7 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which increased 8.7% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
  • Annual spend for heritage AspenTech, which the company defines as the annualized value of all term license and maintenance contracts at the end of the quarter for the businesses other than OSI and SSE, was $697.5 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which increased 9.0% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2.2% sequentially.

Summary of Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

As a result of the transaction between AspenTech and Emerson Electric Co.(“Emerson”), EmerSubCX, the subsidiary Emerson created as part of the transaction, became the surviving entity when the transaction closed on May 16th, 2022. The comparable periods shown in the financial statements below for fiscal year 2022 reflect only the historical results of the OSI and SSE businesses that were contributed to new AspenTech.

AspenTech’s total revenue of $242.8 million included:

  • License and solutions revenue, which represents the portion of a term license agreement allocated to the initial license and OSI revenue recognized on a percentage of completion basis, was $149.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $48.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
  • Maintenance revenue, which represents the portion of customer agreements related to ongoing support and the right to future product enhancements, was $78.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $26.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
  • Services and other revenue was $14.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $7.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, AspenTech reported loss from operations of $59.4 million, compared to loss from operations of $254,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net loss was $66.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, leading to net loss per share of $1.02 compared to net loss per share of $0.02 in the same period last fiscal year.

Non-GAAP income from operations was $86.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Non-GAAP net income was $22.8 million, or $0.35 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. These non-GAAP results add back the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, fees related to acquisitions and integration planning and unrealized gain on derivatives associated with acquisitions. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is presented in the financial tables included in this press release.

AspenTech had cash and cash equivalents of $446.1 million and total borrowings of $264.0 million at December 31, 2022. During the quarter the company entered into a Credit Agreement with Emerson for an aggregate loan commitment of $630 million. The proceeds from borrowings under the Agreement will principally be used to fund the pending acquisition of Micromine.

During the second quarter, AspenTech generated $49.5 million in cash flow from operations and generated $53.1 million in free cash flow. Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for the net impact of: purchases of property, equipment and leasehold improvements; payments for capitalized computer software development costs; and other nonrecurring items, such as payments related to acquisitions and integration planning.

Business Outlook

Based on information as of today, January 25, 2023, AspenTech is issuing the following guidance for fiscal year 2023. Please note this guidance does not include any contribution from the pending acquisition of Micromine, which is expected to close as soon as the remaining regulatory approval is obtained.

  • Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) growth of 10.5-13.5% year-over-year. The company defines ACV as the estimate of the annual value of our portfolio of term license and software maintenance and support (SMS) agreements
  • Free cash flow of $347 to $362 million
  • Total bookings of $1.07 to $1.17 billion
  • Total revenue of $1.14 to $1.20 billion
  • GAAP total expense of $1.207 to $1.217 billion
  • Non-GAAP total expense of $637 to $647 million
  • GAAP operating loss of $67 million to $15 million
  • Non-GAAP operating income of $503 to $555 million
  • GAAP net loss of $7.5 million to net income of $32.5 million
  • Non-GAAP net income of $451 to $491 million
  • GAAP net loss per share of $0.11 to income per share of $0.49
  • Non-GAAP net income per share of $6.83 to $7.43

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe harbor below for information on the factors that could cause AspenTech’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with, disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables included in this press release.

Management considers both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results in managing AspenTech’s business. As the result of adoption of new licensing models, management believes that a number of AspenTech’s performance indicators based on GAAP, including revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income, should be viewed in conjunction with certain non-GAAP and other business measures in assessing AspenTech’s performance, growth and financial condition. Accordingly, management utilizes a number of non-GAAP and other business metrics, including the non-GAAP metrics set forth in this press release, to track AspenTech’s business performance. None of these non-GAAP metrics should be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Conference Call and Webcast

AspenTech will host a conference call and webcast presentation on January 25, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) to discuss the company’s financial results, business outlook, and related corporate and financial matters. A live webcast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of AspenTech’s website, http://ir.aspentech.com/, and clicking on the “webcast” link.

Actual results may vary significantly from AspenTech’s expectations based on a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: delays or reductions in demand for AspenTech solutions due to the COVID-19 pandemic; AspenTech’s failure to increase usage and product adoption of aspenONE or other offerings or grow the aspenONE APM, OSI and SSE businesses, and failure to continue to provide innovative, market-leading solutions; declines in the demand for, or usage of, aspenONE software for any reason, including declines due to adverse changes in the process or other capital-intensive industries and materially reduced industry spending budgets due to the drop in demand for oil due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the consummation and the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Micromine; unfavorable economic and market conditions or a lessening demand in the market for asset process optimization software, including materially reduced industry spending budgets due to the significant drop in oil prices arising from drop in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic; risks of foreign operations or transacting business with customers outside the United States; risks of competition; risks that acquisitions could be difficult to consummate and integrate into our operations, which could disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or impair our financial results; and other risk factors described from time to time in AspenTech’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Furthermore, there are additional factors relating to the transaction with Emerson that could cause actual results to differ materially from AspenTech’s plans, estimates or expectations regarding the transaction include, among others: (1) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the transaction; (2) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, including as a result of delay in integrating the industrial software business of Emerson with AspenTech’s business; (3) the ability of AspenTech to implement its business strategy; (4) difficulties and delays in achieving revenue and cost synergies; (5) inability to retain and hire key personnel; (6) potential litigation in connection with the transaction or other settlements or investigations that may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; (7) AspenTech’s ability to recover successfully from a disaster or other business continuity problem due to a hurricane, flood, earthquake, terrorist attack, war, pandemic, security breach, cyber-attack, power loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made event, including the ability to function remotely during long-term disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic; and (8) other risk factors as detailed from time to time in AspenTech’s reports filed with the SEC, including AspenTech’s annual reports on Form 10-K, periodic quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K.

While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

AspenTech cannot guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. AspenTech expressly disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements after the date of this press release.

Lantronix Announces Record $40 Million Contract With Gridspertise

Announces Preliminary Second Quarter Revenue and Updates Fiscal 2023 Revenue Guidance to Reflect Revised Delivery Schedule

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global provider of secure turnkey solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and the Intelligent IT market, today announced it has received and executed a production contract to deliver Quantum Edge units to its customer Gridspertise.

The largest in Lantronix history, the order value is greater than initially anticipated due to a customer-requested change in the design of the solution, resulting in increased dollar content for Lantronix. While the increase in content validates the Lantronix value proposition and drives a better-than-anticipated total revenue expectation, it also delayed the initial pilot production and changed the production delivery schedule, and Lantronix therefore no longer expects to realize significant revenue from the customer in the remainder of fiscal 2023. Lantronix expects to begin shipping against this contract in its first quarter of 2024.

“I am pleased to announce this record-breaking order with our customer Gridspertise,” said Paul Pickle, CEO of Lantronix. “Lantronix has been contracted to deliver more functionality and content than initially expected for initial production volumes. And, while the updated specification will push our delivery schedule and revenue recognition into fiscal 2024, it delivers substantial visibility into our double-digit growth expectations for the upcoming fiscal year.”

Lantronix is releasing preliminary revenue for its second quarter of fiscal 2023 and updating its fiscal 2023 revenue guidance to account for the delay in the pilot production and the updated production schedule from the contract. The company currently expects to report second quarter 2023 revenue between $31 million and $32 million. For fiscal year 2023, the company now expects revenue of $135 million to $145 million, up approximately 4 percent to 12 percent year over year. The updated guidance implies a return to growth in the second half of fiscal 2023, driven by backlog that remains near record levels and starting backlog that is higher than the prior quarter. Lantronix will release full financial details and discuss results for its second quarter fiscal 2023 as well as its expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2023 and 2024 on its upcoming earnings conference call.

Express, Inc. Announces Closing of Transaction to Initiate Strategic Partnership With WHP Global

Express, Inc. Announces Closing of Transaction to Initiate Strategic Partnership With WHP Global

$260 million in gross proceeds immediately strengthens EXPR balance sheet

COLUMBUS, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Fashion apparel retailer Express, Inc. (NYSE: EXPR) (the “Company” or “EXPR”), today announced that it has completed the previously announced transaction with WHP Global (“WHP”), a leading global brand management firm. The mutually transformative strategic partnership advances the Company’s omnichannel platform which is expected to drive accelerated, long-term growth through the acquisition and operation of a portfolio of brands. EXPR and WHP have also formed an intellectual property joint venture (the “IP JV”) intended to scale the Express brand through new domestic category licensing and international expansion opportunities.

“As our team continues its strong focus on returning the core Express business to growth and profitability and advancing our EXPRESSway Forward strategy, our partnership with WHP Global will allow us to achieve greater scale through non-core domestic licensing opportunities and international expansion,” said Tim Baxter, Chief Executive Officer. “The $260 million in gross proceeds will be used to immediately pay down our high interest term loan, invest in our omnichannel platform, and pursue additional opportunities for growth through the acquisition of brands with WHP, all of which are expected to drive long term, sustainable value for our shareholders.”

This partnership is expected to provide the following significant financial and operational benefits:

  • Capitalizes on strength of EXPR as a fully integrated omnichannel platform. EXPR will be ideally positioned to participate in anticipated retail industry consolidation and pursue acquisitions with WHP and is expected to expand its brand portfolio to accelerate growth and profitability. Through synergistic M&A, EXPR will leverage its platform to drive cost savings and margin expansion.
  • WHP to acquire newly issued shares of EXPR at $4.60 per share. WHP will make a $25 million common equity PIPE investment to acquire 5.4 million newly issued shares of EXPR at $4.60 per share, representing an approximate pro forma ownership of 7.4%.
  • Scales existing multi-billion-dollar Express brand through the IP JV. We expect this partnership to accelerate growth for the Express brand by leveraging WHP’s licensing expertise to both expand on our non-core domestic categories and our international reach. The IP JV is valued at approximately $400 million, with WHP committing $235 Million to the IP JV for 60% ownership and EXPR contributing certain intellectual property in exchange for 40% ownership.
  • Strengthens EXPR balance sheet with $260 million in gross proceeds from WHP investment. This investment provides capital for EXPR to repay its $90 million term loan and fund EXPR’s first year guaranteed minimum royalties of $60 million to the IP JV. The balance of the proceeds will be used for reinvesting in the EXPR platform and potential future M&A opportunities.

The completion of the transaction was subject to lender consent, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, all of which were obtained or satisfied. For additional background on the transaction, please read the announcement press release here: https://bit.ly/3hfNuOt
