CCUR Holdings Reports $5.4 Million of Net Income in Q4 FY 2020

DULUTH, GA / ACCESSWIRE / September 15, 2020 / CCUR Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:CCUR) today reported net income attributable to its stockholders of $5,380,000, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. This is the sixth consecutive quarter the Company reported net income and earnings per share. The Company reported net income attributable to its stockholders of $12,230,000, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Revenue for the quarter decreased to $892,000 compared to $1,846,000 during the prior fiscal year period. The revenue decrease was primarily due to merchant cash advance (MCA) revenue decreasing 57% to $618,000 compared to $1,435,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019. Fiscal year 2020 fourth quarter revenue from interest on loans decreased 33% to $274,000, compared to $411,000 in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Other interest income and realized and unrealized gains on investments, net for the period totaled $1,756,000 compared to $1,751,000 in the prior fiscal year fourth quarter.

"Our performance for the quarter was impacted by the business disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and our cessation of funding merchant cash advances during this period," commented Igor Volshteyn, President and Chief Operating Officer. "Fortunately, we had already begun to reduce direct MCA exposure prior to the pandemic, allowing us to navigate the disruption with minimum balance sheet impact. We continue to focus on generating revenues from our merchant cash advance syndication fees and aviation funding operations, as well as our real estate operations. Based on our continued aviation funding, we recently created a new subsidiary CCUR Aviation Finance LLC to focus on those funding opportunities."

The Company's history of profitability and projections of future taxable income enabled it to record a $6.5 million tax benefit for the quarter attributable to the release of a valuation allowance reserve that it has historically maintained on its deferred tax assets. "Our goal over the coming months is to continue to minimize our risk exposure while pursuing attractive opportunities to deploy our capital and enhance our long-term growth prospects. We believe our operating results, when combined with a robust balance sheet and a clear plan to successfully navigate the current operating environment, position us to continue to build stockholder value," stated Mr. Volshteyn.

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 were $4,122,000. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company modified the vesting requirements of stock appreciation rights ("SAR") granted to its asset manager, resulting in $2,841,000 of incremental expense for the quarter. Importantly, the SAR expense represented a non-cash item for the quarter that was one time in nature. CCUR also paid an additional $399,000 in one-time fees to its asset manager. Both of these expenses were recorded within SG&A expense. The Company's asset manager exclusively manages the Company's securities portfolio and works with the Company's board and executive team to identify strategic growth and acquisition opportunities. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 were $3,836,000 and included a $2,010,000 reduction of expense attributable to a change in the fair value of contingent consideration. This change in fair value was due to our decision to cease funding MCAs during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and the termination of the earnout and warrant agreements with the non-controlling member of the Company's subsidiary LM Capital Solutions, LLC ("LMCS") as part of a July 2020 recapitalization of this subsidiary. The Company also recorded $1,395,000 of expenses attributable to impairment of LMCS' goodwill and other long-lived assets due to the Company's cessation of funding merchant cash advances through LMCS and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on LMCS' remaining revenue streams.

The Company reported net income attributable to its stockholders of $5,380,000, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, as compared to $803,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019. Total working capital as of June 30, 2020 was $51,011,000 as compared with $48,823,000 as of June 30, 2019. The Company's balance sheet remains strong, and at June 30, 2020, it had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9,336,000.

Twelve Month Results

Revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 was $5,873,000 compared to $3,456,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019.
