Use of Supplemental Data as Non-GAAP Performance Measure
Net Operating Income After Tax
As supplemental information, we are providing performance measures that are
based on methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles
("non-GAAP") for "Net Operating Income After Tax" that management uses as
benchmarks in evaluating and comparing the period-to-period operating
performance of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (the "Company") and
its subsidiaries.
The Company defines "net operating income after tax" as the Company's net
operating income less income tax provision excluding investment return and
the tax impact related to the investment return. The Company believes that
"net operating income after tax" provides a good representation of the
Company's operating performance, as it excludes the impact of investment
return on financial results. The amount of the investment portfolio and
market fluctuations on the investments can change significantly from
one period to another, which can distort the underlying earnings potential
of a company. We also believe "net operating income after tax" is an
important metric in estimating the value of an asset management business.
This non-GAAP measure is provided in addition to net income and net operating
income and is not a substitute for net income or net operating income and
may not be comparable to non-GAAP performance measures of other companies.
Three Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per share data) 2011 2010
Net operating income, GAAP basis $5,851 $4,102
Non-GAAP adjustments:
Tax provision excluding impact
of investment return 2,179 1,530
Net operating income after tax,
non-GAAP basis 3,672 2,572
Net operating income after tax per
diluted share, non-GAAP basis $1.24 $0.93
Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per share data) 2011 2010
Net operating income, GAAP basis $11,300 $8,031
Non-GAAP adjustments:
Tax provision excluding impact
of investment return 4,228 2,935
Net operating income after tax,
non-GAAP basis 7,072 5,096
Net operating income after tax per
diluted share, non-GAAP basis $2.44 $1.85
The tax provision excluding impact of investment return is calculated by
applying the tax rate from the actual tax provision to net operating
income.
The Company's management does not promote that investors consider the above
non-GAAP financial measures alone, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
