Imperial Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results

Company Reports Book Value of $8.90 per Share

Quarterly Maturities Total $36.6 million

Boca Raton, Fla., August 4, 2015 Imperial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: IFT) (“Imperial” or the “Company”), a specialty finance company with a focus on providing liquidity solutions to owners of illiquid financial assets, announced today its financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Total income from continuing operations was $28.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to total income from continuing operations of $9.0 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily from the realized gains of seven life settlement policies during the period.

The following table provides a summary of the components of income from the changes in fair value of life settlements.

Total expenses were $27.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $19.5 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily driven by a non-cash change in the fair value (liability) of the Company’s revolving credit facility of $13.6 million due to projected early repayment of the Revolving Credit Facility given earlier than projected maturities during the second quarter and increased borrowings.

The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $966,000, or $.04 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $6.3 million, or ($.29) per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2014. The fully diluted share count includes approximately 6.69 million shares issued in the second quarter of 2015 as part of the Company’s equity rights offering.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Total income from continuing operations was $41.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to total income from continuing operations of $22.6 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to realized gains of 12 life settlement policies totaling $37.8 million which occurred during the first half of 2015.

Total expenses were $46.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $32.4 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the fair value (liability) of the Company’s revolving credit facility of $13.9 million and higher interest expense of $6.0 million.

The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $3.2 million, or ($.15) per fully diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $9.6 million, or ($.45) per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $55.6 million. The Company had 28,130,508 shares outstanding at June 30, 2015 and a book value of $8.90 per share.

Life Settlements Portfolio Highlights

At June 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of the Company’s 633 life insurance policies was $439.0 million compared to $388.9 million for 607 life insurance policies at December 31, 2014. The weighted average discount rate was 17.13% at June 30, 2015 compared to 17.77% at December 31, 2014. The aggregate face value of the Company’s portfolio of life insurance policies was approximately $3.0 billion at June 30, 2015. During the quarter, seven life settlement policies matured totaling $36.6 million. For the first six months of 2015, 12 life settlement policies matured totaling $49.8 million.

Antony Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of Imperial, commented: “Income in the second quarter was strong with $36.6 million in maturities, bringing first half maturities to $49.8 million. To put this in perspective, maturities in the first half of 2015 exceeded all of 2013 and 2014 combined.” Mr. Mitchell concluded, “We are also very pleased to have recently closed a second revolving credit facility on favorable terms allowing us to meaningfully reduce our cash outlay and lock in the value of virtually our entire balance sheet.”
