BELLEVUE, Wash., May 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: RLGT), a third party logistics and multi-modal transportation services company, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016.

Third quarter Financial Highlights (Quarter Ended March 31, 2016)

• Revenues increased to $173.3 million, up $71.0 million or 69.4% compared to revenues of $102.3 million for the comparable prior year period.
• Net revenues increased 54.2% to $41.8 million, compared to net revenues of $27.1 million for the comparable prior year period.
• Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2.2 million, or $0.05 per basic and fully diluted share for the third fiscal quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per basic and fully diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
• Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $1.8 million, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2016, compared to adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Both periods are calculated by applying a normalized tax rate of 36% and excluding other items not considered part of regular operating activities.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 36.4% to $4.7 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2016, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $3.4 million in the comparable prior year period. Normalizing these results to exclude $0.6 million in non-recurring transition costs associated with the interim operation of Service By Air's back-office operations, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $5.2 million for the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2016.

CEO Comments

"We are very pleased to report another record quarter in what was a generally soft freight environment in our seasonally slowest quarter ended March 31, 2016", said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO. We posted revenues of $173.3 million, up $71.0 million or 69.4%; net revenues of $41.8 million, up $14.7 million or 54.2%; and adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million, up $1.3 million or 36.4%, over the comparable prior year period. Normalizing our adjusted EBITDA to exclude $0.6 million in non-recurring transitions costs associated with redundant back-office operation of Service By Air's back-office that are targeted for elimination later this calendar year, we would have reported adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million, up $1.8 million, or 52.9%. In addition, we also reported record cash from operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 of $19.2 million."

Crain continued: "We also took the opportunity in April of this year to retire $25.0 million subordinated debt that we originally obtained in April of 2015 in connection with our acquisition of Wheels Group, Inc. Given the cash we have been accumulating on our balance sheet and the fact that we had virtually no amounts outstanding under our $65.0 million senior credit facility, we took the opportunity to retire the $25.0 million in subordinated debt and excluding a one-time pre-payment fee $750,000, capture what we estimate to be approximately $2.0 million in annualized cost savings in reduced interest expense going forward. Even after giving effect to the payment of the subordinated debt, we have approximately $10.0 million in net debt outstanding under our senior credit facility and remain well positioned to continue our disciplined approach of acquiring non-asset based businesses. We have low leverage on our balance sheet, strong free cash flow and continue to search for acquisition candidates that bring critical mass to our current platform with respect to geography, purchasing power and complementary service offerings."

"We have updated our guidance for fiscal 2016 to reflect current market trends and our recent retirement of the $25.0 million in subordinated debt with normalized adjusted EBITDA in the range of $27.5 - $29.5 million on revenues of $788.9 - $829.1 million. This equates to adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders in the range of $7.8 - $9.1 million, or $0.16 - $0.18 per basic and fully diluted share."

RADIANT LOGISTICS, INC. Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Reconciliation of Net Income per share to Adjusted Net Income per share (unaudited)

As used in this report, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented herein because they are important metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the performance of the ongoing operations of Radiant's business. For Adjusted Net Income, management uses a 36% tax rate for calculating the provision for income taxes before preferred dividend requirement to normalize Radiant's tax rate to that of its competitors and to compare Radiant's reporting periods with different effective tax rates. In addition, in arriving at Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, the Company adjusts for significant items that are not part of regular operating activities. These adjustments include acquisition costs, transition, severance and lease termination costs, non-recurring litigation expenses as well as depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash charges.

Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before preferred stock dividends, interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which is then further adjusted for changes in contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, severance and lease termination costs, extraordinary items, share based compensation expense, non-recurring litigation expenses and other non-cash charges. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, as presented, represents a useful method of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as it reflects our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges and other non-recurring charges. We understand that although securities analysts frequently use EBITDA in their evaluation of companies, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any of the consolidated statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as an indication of Radiant's operating performance or liquidity. Normalized Adjusted EBITDA represents the Adjusted EBITDA but also adds back transition costs associated with the SBA back-office that is projected to be eliminated as Radiant's back office in Bellevue Washington will absorb these services.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Preliminary Guidance

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules such as adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). We believe that supplemental disclosure of these amounts are important metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the performance of the ongoing operations of Radiant's business that eliminates depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash costs and other significant items that are not part of regular operating activities. This supplemental financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A reconciliation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and adjusted EBITDA for the Company's preliminary guidance for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 is as follows:
