CEO Comments

"We are very pleased to report another quarter of solid financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2019", said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO. "We posted revenues of $200.5 million, down $18.4 million or 8.4% over the comparable prior year period. A number of factors contributed to our reduction in revenues, including (1) our decision to exit certain lower margin business earlier in the year, (2) non-recurring disaster relief project work reported in the year ago period, and (3) general market softness associated with slower global trade and margin pressures on our brokerage operations associated with excess truck capacity that exists in the marketplace. Notwithstanding these market headwinds, we reported net revenues of $55.5 million, up $0.6 million or 1.1%.

For our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019, in the U.S., we reported revenues of $175.9 million, down $15.3 million or 8.0%; and net revenues of $48.2 million, up $1.1 million or 2.3% over the comparable prior year period. U.S. transportation net revenues of $46.7 million were up $0.3 million or 0.6% from the comparable prior year period. U.S. value added services net revenues of $1.5 million were up $0.8 million or 114.3%. In Canada we reported revenues of $24.8 million, down $2.9 million or 10.5%; and net revenues of $7.3 million, down $0.4 million or 5.2% over the comparable prior year period. Canada's transportation net revenues of $3.9 million were down $1.1 million or 22.0% from the comparable prior year period. Canada's value added services net revenues of $3.4 million were up $0.7 million or 25.9%.

We are also pleased with how our non-asset based business model continues to perform in what is generally recognized as a softer freight environment. Although we saw a reduction in revenues during the quarter compared to the comparable prior year period, the economic impact to the company was generally off-set by improving net revenue margins, up 262 basis points, and a reduction of $0.6 million in operating partner commissions, which resulted in net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.2 million, up $0.6 million or 23.1%; adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of $6.5 million, up $1.1 million or 20.4%; and adjusted EBITDA of $9.7 million, up $0.9 million or 10.2% over the comparable prior year period. In addition, we also saw improvement in our adjusted EBITDA margins, which increased 137 basis points to 17.4% from 16.1% for the comparable prior year period."

Crain continued: "While we are pleased with our results for this most recent quarter, the outlook for the upcoming quarter looks relatively flat on a sequential basis as we are not seeing the traditional peak season trade flows that we would generally expect heading into the holidays. As an industry, we continue to work through the market uncertainties associated with global trade, tariffs and the prospect of impeachment along with digesting excess truck capacity and inventory build ups that are part of the current landscape.

In any event, we believe our success over this past year in delivering profitability, continuing to invest in our scalable back-office infrastructure and de-levering our balance sheet leaves us very well positioned to take advantage of incremental organic and acquisition growth opportunities as they present themselves."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP MeasuresRADIANT LOGISTICS, INC.

Reconciliation of Total Revenues to Net Revenues, Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders to Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited)

As used in this report, Net Revenues, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Net Revenues, Adjusted Net Income, 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 24.5% tax rate to calculate 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, the Company adjusts for certain non-cash charges and significant items that are not part of regular operating activities. These adjustments include depreciation and amortization, income taxes, change in fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of loan fees, write-off of debt issuance costs, impairment of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related costs, transition costs, lease termination costs, litigation costs and non-recurring costs.

We commonly refer to the term "net revenues" when commenting about our Company and the results of operations. Net revenues are a Non-GAAP measure calculated as revenues less directly related operations and expenses attributed to the Company's services. We believe net revenues are a better measurement than are total revenues when analyzing and discussing the effectiveness of our business and is used as a portion of a key metric the Company uses to discuss its progress.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of preferred stock dividends, redemption of preferred stock, interest and taxes, and excludes the "non-cash" effects of depreciation and amortization on long-term assets. Companies have some discretion as to which elements of depreciation and amortization are excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We exclude all depreciation charges related to technology and equipment, and all amortization charges (including amortization of leasehold improvements). We then further adjust EBITDA to exclude changes in fair value of contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, transition and lease termination costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, extraordinary items, share-based compensation expense, litigation expenses unrelated to our core operations, MM&D start-up costs and other non-cash charges. While management considers EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, represent a useful method of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as they reflect our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges and other non-recurring charges. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the GAAP financial information by providing additional insight regarding results of operations to allow a comparison to other companies, many of whom use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures will not be defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other companies. Net Revenues, Adjusted Net Income, 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.
