Fiscal Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenues increased 3% to $2.11 billion from $2.05 billion in the same year-ago quarter due to an increase in silver ounces sold and higher average selling prices of gold, partially offset by a decrease in gold ounces sold and lower average selling prices of silver.

The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 28% and 6% of the consolidated revenue in the fiscal third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in revenue from the Direct-to-Consumer segment is due primarily to the acquisition of JM Bullion, Inc. (JMB) in March 2021. Revenue contributed by JMB represented 26% of the consolidated revenues for the fiscal third quarter of 2022 compared with 3% of consolidated revenues for the same year-ago quarter.

The number of new customers in the Direct-to-Consumer segment increased 721% to 108,400 from 13,200 in the same year-ago quarter. The number of active customers increased 678% to 284,800 from 36,600 in the same year-ago quarter. The number of total customers as of March 31, 2022 increased 20% to 1,968,200 from 1,633,800 in the prior year. The increases in the customer-based metrics were primarily due to our acquisition of JMB in March 2021.

Gross profit increased 6% to $72.1 million (3.42% of revenue) from $68.2 million (3.33% of revenue) in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in gross profit was due to higher gross profits earned from the Direct-to-Consumer segment, partially offset by lower gross profits earned from the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services Segment.   Gross profit contributed by JMB represented 48% of the total consolidated gross profit in the fiscal third quarter of 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 54% to $20.5 million from $13.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to $6.5 million of expenses incurred by JMB, increased compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $1.4 million, offset by lower consulting and professional fees of $0.9 million.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 407% to $7.5 million from $1.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a $6.1 million increase in amortization of acquired intangibles related to JMB.

Interest income increased 13% to $5.3 million from $4.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The aggregate increase in interest income was primarily due to higher interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment partly offset by lower other finance product income.

Interest expense increased 2% to $5.4 million from $5.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by $0.2 million of loan servicing fees, offset by a decrease of $0.1 million associated with our Trading Credit Facility and Notes Payable (including amortization of debt issuance costs).

Earnings from equity method investments decreased 78% to $1.6 million from $7.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The net decrease of $5.8 million includes a $6.1 million decrease related to JMB, a former equity method investment which is now reported by the Company as a wholly owned subsidiary, offset by increased earnings of $0.3 million from our other equity method investments.

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $37.4 million or $3.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $76.6 million or $8.84 per diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.

Net income attributable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included a $26.3 million remeasurement gain on its pre-existing equity interest in JMB in connection with its acquisition. Excluding the remeasurement gain, net income attributable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $50.3 million. Net income attributable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021 also included $2.2 million of non-recurring costs associated with the acquisition of JMB. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were 12.2 million compared to 8.7 million in the same year-ago quarter.

Adjusted net income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $54.3 million, compared to $64.2 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease is principally due to higher amortization of acquired intangibles of $6.0 million, the $26.3 million remeasurement gain in the prior year period, partly offset by lower net income before provision for income taxes of $40.9 million.

Adjusted net income before provision for income taxes per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4.45, compared to $7.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and $4.02 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were 12.2 million compared to 8.7 million in the same year-ago quarter.

Management Commentary  

“Our third quarter results again demonstrate the strength of our fully integrated precious metals platform as we grew revenue, gross profit and net income sequentially while expanding our gross margin,” said A-Mark CEO Greg Roberts. “Macroeconomic factors continue to provide strong tailwinds for our business and we remain optimistic as we finish out our final quarter of our fiscal year.

“Gross profit in our Direct-to-Consumer segment increased 12% sequentially quarter over quarter, while we continued to add new customers to our customer base. We believe JMB’s recent launch of CyberMetals, an innovative online platform where customers may purchase fractional ounces of digital gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in a range of denominations, will enhance and accelerate our new precious metals customer acquisition strategy.   During JMB’s beta testing of the CyberMetals platform during the quarter, we accumulated 745 new customers, processed 990 trades, and ended the quarter with $0.3 million of assets under management. We remain optimistic about the prospects of this new platform following the full commercial launch in April 2022.

“Additionally, our minting business achieved a new record level of production during the quarter, with 1 million ounces produced in a week, and we are contemplating further expansion opportunities for our minting operations given the continued strong demand and performance.

“Last week we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to increase our strategic investment in Silver Gold Bull, Inc. (SGB), a Calgary based e-commerce precious metals retailer, to 47.4%, which will expand A-Mark’s footprint in the international market. We have participated in SGB’s success and growth over the past several years and see continued growth opportunities for our companies while leveraging A-Mark’s minting and wholesale sources of supply through an extended supplier agreement. The increased investment is expected to close in our fiscal 2022 fourth quarter, subject to certain closing conditions. We also continue to evaluate additional opportunities to expand our Direct-to-Consumer segment while diversifying the geography of our revenue in an accretive manner for stockholders.”

About A-Mark Precious Metals

Founded in 1965, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRK) is a leading fully integrated precious metals platform that offers an array of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper bullion, numismatic coins and related products to wholesale and retail customers via a portfolio of channels. The company conducts its operations through three complementary segments: Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services, Direct-to-Consumer, and Secured Lending. The company’s global customer base spans sovereign and private mints, manufacturers and fabricators, refiners, dealers, financial institutions, industrial users, investors, collectors, and e-commerce and other retail customers.

A-Mark’s Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment distributes and purchases precious metal products from sovereign and private mints. As a U.S. Mint-authorized purchaser of gold, silver, and platinum coins since 1986, A-Mark purchases bullion products directly from the U.S. Mint for sale to customers. A-Mark also has longstanding distributorships with other sovereign mints, including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Mexico, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The company sells more than 200 different products to e-commerce retailers, coin and bullion dealers, financial institutions, brokerages and collectors. In addition, A-Mark sells precious metal products to industrial users, including metal refiners, manufacturers and electronic fabricators.

Through its A-M Global Logistics subsidiary, A-Mark provides its customers with a range of complementary services, including managed storage options for precious metals as well as receiving, handling, inventorying, processing, packaging, and shipping of precious metals and coins on a secure basis. A-Mark’s mint operations, which are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary Silver Towne Mint, enable the company to offer customers a wide range of proprietary coin and bar offerings and, during periods of market volatility when the availability of silver bullion from sovereign mints is often product constrained, preferred product access.

A-Mark’s Direct-to-Consumer segment operates as an omni-channel retailer of precious metals, providing access to a multitude of products through its wholly owned subsidiaries, JM Bullion and Goldline. JM Bullion is a leading e-commerce retailer of precious metals and operates five separately branded, company-owned websites targeting specific niches within the precious metals market: JMBullion.com, ProvidentMetals.com, Silver.com, GoldPrice.org, SilverPrice.org. JMB also owns CyberMetals, an online platform where customers can purchase and sell fractional shares of digital gold, silver and platinum bars in a range of denominations. Goldline markets precious metals directly to the investor community through various channels, including television, radio and telephonic sales efforts. A-Mark also holds minority ownership interests in two additional Direct-to-Consumer brands.

The company operates its Secured Lending segment through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Collateral Finance Corporation (CFC) and AM Capital Funding. Founded in 2005, CFC is a California licensed finance lender that originates and acquires loans secured by bullion and numismatic coins. Its customers include coin and precious metal dealers, investors and collectors. AM Capital Funding was formed in 2018 for the purpose of securitizing eligible secured loans of CFC.

Important Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that relate to future plans, objectives, expectations, performance, events and the like are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements regarding future macroeconomic conditions and demand for precious metal products, and the Company’s ability to effectively respond to changing economic conditions. Future events, risks and uncertainties, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results or circumstances to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the following: the failure to execute the Company’s growth strategy as planned; greater than anticipated costs incurred to execute this strategy; changes in the current international political climate which has favorably contributed to demand and volatility in the precious metals markets; increased competition for the Company’s higher margin services, which could depress pricing; the failure of the Company’s business model to respond to changes in the market environment as anticipated; changes in consumer demand and preferences for precious metal products generally; the inability to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the Silver Gold Bull investment; the failure of Silver Gold Bull to maintain its unique customer base or changes in the buying preferences of this customer base; the failure otherwise to achieve anticipated benefits of the investment; general risks of doing business in the commodity markets; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the eventual return to normalized business and economic conditions; and the strategic, business, economic, financial, political and governmental risks described in in the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.The words "should," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "foresee," "plan" and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Additionally, any statements related to future improved performance and estimates of revenues and earnings per share are forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management believes the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance. The Company presents “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” and “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes per diluted share” because management believes these assist investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of period-to-period operational performance on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. The items excluded from these financial measures may have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized definitions and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC.

In the Company’s reconciliation from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for taxes” and “diluted net income per share” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” and “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes per diluted share,” the Company eliminates the impact of the following four amounts: (i) acquisition expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired; (iii) depreciation expense; and (iv) remeasurement gain.

Management encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
