RADNOR, Pa.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—11.13.14 — The J.G. Wentworth Company™ (“J.G. Wentworth” or the “Company”) (NYSE:JGW), a leading purchaser of structured settlement payments, annuity payments, lottery payments and other receivables through its J.G. Wentworth and Peachtree brands, today reports financial results for the third quarter of 2014. “We are in the early stages of transforming J.G. Wentworth and are excited about the groundwork we have laid to achieve the three key strategic pillars — Grow the Core, Become an Information-Based Company, and Diversify,” said Stewart A. Stockdale, Chief Executive Officer, The J.G. Wentworth Company™.

The following are highlights from the third quarter results:

Third Quarter Highlights

·                  Total Receivables Balance, or TRB, purchases were $263.3 million, as compared to $299.3 million in the third quarter of 2013.

·                  Adjusted Net Income*, or ANI, increased to $7.2 million, as compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2013,  driven primarily by lower cost of funds and lower interest expense.

·                  Adjusted unrealized gains on VIE and other finance receivables, long term debt and derivatives, net of the gain (loss) on swap terminations*, [or Spread Revenue*], was $51.3 million, as compared to $49.0 million in the third quarter of 2013.

·                  Revenues were $107.0 million, an increase of 3.8% from revenues of $103.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, due primarily to the impact of decreasing cost of funds on unrealized gains on VIE and other finance receivables, long-term debt and derivatives.

·                  Net income increased to $12.7 million, as compared to a loss of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2013, due primarily to decreasing cost of funds and lower interest expense.

John R. Schwab, J.G. Wentworth’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “After a strong second quarter, the third quarter purchases started off slower than anticipated, but returned to expected levels by the end of the period.  We continue to focus on driving profitability in our Core business and leveraging our industry-leading financing platform.  We were pleased with the execution of our 2014-2 securitization and look forward to the launch of the 2014-3 securitization.”

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and other Non-GAAP Measures Used in this Release and the Related Presentation

We use Adjusted Net Income (a non-GAAP financial measure) as a measure of our results from operations, which we define as our net income under U.S. GAAP before non-cash compensation expenses, certain other expenses, provision for or benefit from income taxes and the amounts related to the consolidation of the securitization and permanent financing trusts we use to finance our business. We use Adjusted Net Income to measure our overall performance because we believe it represents the best measure of our operating performance, as the operations of the variable interest entities do not impact business performance. In addition, the add-backs described above are consistent with adjustments permitted under our Term Loan agreement.

We also use the non-GAAP measures of Total Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted unrealized gains on VIE and other finance receivables, long term debt and derivatives, net of the gain (loss) on swap termination, or Spread Revenue, as measures of our revenues, which we define as those measures under U.S. GAAP before the amounts related to the consolidation of the securitization and permanent financing trusts we use to finance our business. We use these measures to measure our revenues because we believe they represent better measures of our revenues, as the operations of the variable interest entities do not impact business performance.

You should not consider Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Total Revenue or Spread Revenue in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Total Revenue and Spread Revenue may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

A reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income, which includes line items for Adjusted Total Revenue and Spread Revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is provided below.  Certain prior year numbers have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
