The J.G. Wentworth Company® Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results
RADNOR, Pa.—(BUSINESS WIRE) - March 28, 2017 The J.G. Wentworth Company® ("J.G. Wentworth" or the "Company") (OTCQX: JGWE) today reports financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2016. "We continued to make progress against our key priorities. The results for the quarter and full year reflect our efforts throughout the year to turnaround Structured Settlements, grow Home Lending, expand Payment Solutions and further enhance and diversify our funding platform," said Stewart A. Stockdale, Chief Executive Officer, The J.G. Wentworth Company.
The following are highlights from the fourth quarter and full year results:
Fourth Quarter 2016 Consolidated Results:
• | Consolidated revenues were $106.6 million, an increase of $22.3 million from the $84.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was due to the $14.5 million increase in revenues generated by the Home Lending segment ("Home Lending") that we acquired on July 31, 2015, driven primarily by an increase of $8.0 million in changes in mortgage servicing rights, net and an increase of $3.7 million in realized and unrealized gains on sale of mortgage loans held for sale, net of direct costs. The increase in revenues in Home Lending was coupled with a $7.8 million increase in our Structured Settlement Payments segment's ("Structured Settlements") revenues driven principally by a $12.4 million increase in realized and unrealized gains on VIE and other finance receivables, long-term debt, and derivatives partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $2.9 million. |
• | Home Lending generated loan lock volume of $1.1 billion and closed loan volume of $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016. The outstanding unpaid principal balance of our mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") portfolio was $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2016, an increase of $0.4 billion from the MSR portfolio's September 30, 2016 balance of $3.7 billion. The Company's MSR portfolio had a fair value of $41.7 million as of December 31, 2016. |
• | The Company had $4.2 billion in VIE and other finance receivables, at fair value, and $4.0 billion in VIE long-term debt issued by securitization and permanent financing trusts, at fair value, as of December 31, 2016. The debt issued by our VIE securitization and permanent financing trusts is recourse only to the respective entities that issued the debt and is non-recourse to the Company and its other subsidiaries. |
• | Consolidated net loss was $0.6 million compared to a $107.4 million consolidated net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015. The $106.8 million change was due to a $91.8 million decline in consolidated total expenses coupled with a $22.3 million increase in consolidated total revenues, partially offset by a $7.2 million change in our consolidated provision (benefit) for income taxes. The $91.8 million decline in consolidated total expenses reflects the impact of the $91.7 million impairment charge recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2015 for which there was not an equivalent impairment charge recorded in the current year. Excluding the impact of this impairment charge, consolidated total expenses were equivalent to the prior year reflecting a $7.5 million decrease in Structured Settlements' expense offset by a $7.4 million increase in Home Lending's expense. The $22.3 million increase in consolidated total revenues was driven by a $14.5 million increase in Home Lending's revenues coupled with a $7.8 million increase in Structured Settlements' revenues. |
Fourth Quarter 2016 Segment Results:
• | Segment Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Segment Adjusted EBITDA*") for Home Lending was $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The $6.8 million increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA* for Home Lending was primarily due to an $8.0 million increase in changes in mortgage servicing rights, net between periods. |
• | Segment Adjusted EBITDA* for Structured Settlements was $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The $4.5 million increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA* for Structured Settlements was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses reflecting the results of our previously announced cost savings initiatives. |
Full Year 2016 Consolidated Results:
• | Consolidated revenues were $324.7 million, an increase of $28.3 million from the $296.4 million for the full year 2015. The increase was due to an $82.5 million increase in Home Lending's revenue offset by a decrease of $54.2 million in Structured Settlement's revenue. |
• | Home Lending generated loan lock volume of $5.3 billion and closed loan volume of $3.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2016. The outstanding unpaid principal balance of our MSR portfolio increased from $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2015 to $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2016. |
Exhibit 99.1
• | Consolidated net loss was $98.0 million compared to the $197.1 million consolidated net loss for the full year 2015. The $99.1 million change was due to a $73.7 million decline in consolidated total expenses coupled with a $28.3 million increase in consolidated total revenues, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in our consolidated benefit for income taxes. The $73.7 million decline in consolidated total expenses reflects the impact of the $121.6 million impairment charge recorded during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to a $5.5 million impairment charge recorded during the year ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of these impairment charges, consolidated total expenses increased $42.4 million over the prior year due primarily to a $55.6 million increase in Home Lending's operating expenses partially offset by a $13.1 million decrease in Structured Settlement's operating expenses. The $28.3 million increase in consolidated total revenues was driven by an $82.5 million increase in Home Lending's revenues that was offset by a $54.2 million decline in Structured Settlements' revenues. Home Lending was acquired on July 31, 2015 and, therefore, the consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2015 included only five months of Home Lending's operations. |
Full Year 2016 Segment Results:
• | Segment Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Expense, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Segment Adjusted EBITDA*") for Home Lending was $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The $28.5 million increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA* for Home Lending was primarily due to the prior year including only five months of activity coupled with an $8.0 million increase in changes in mortgage servicing rights, net between the fourth quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015. |
• | Segment Adjusted EBITDA* for Structured Settlements was $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $49.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The $33.5 million decrease in Segment Adjusted EBITDA* for Structured Settlements was primarily due to a $57.3 million decline in realized and unrealized gains on unsecuritized finance receivables and related derivatives reflecting lower Total Receivables Balances Purchases. |
* This earnings press release includes Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which we use as a measure of our segments' operating performance. We report Segment Adjusted EBITDA because our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), as that term is defined in Accounting Standards Codification 280 - Segment Reporting ("ASC 280"), uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our segments' performance. Not all companies calculate Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion and, therefore, these amounts as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, Segment Adjusted EBITDA is not indicative of cash flow generation. Results for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, a description of the segment profitability measure and reconciliations of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Loss Before Income Taxes are included in the accompanying financial information.

We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) under U.S. GAAP before non-cash compensation expenses, certain other expenses, provision for or benefit from income taxes, depreciation and amortization and for our Structured Settlements segment, amounts related to the consolidation of the securitization and permanent financing trusts we use to finance our business, interest expense associated with our senior secured credit facility, debt issuance costs and broker and legal fees incurred in connection with sale of finance receivables.
We present Segment Adjusted EBITDA as an indication of our segments' operating performance because our CODM, as that term is defined in ASC 280, uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. Not all companies calculate Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion, and therefore these amounts as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, Segment Adjusted EBITDA is not indicative of cash flow generation. Below are reconciliations of Segments Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's two reportable segments to income (loss) before income taxes for the three and twelve months ended ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:
