Aston Hill Announces 2016 Third Quarter Results
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/14/16 -- Aston Hill Financial Inc. ("Aston Hill" or the "Company") (TSX: AHF) announces it has filed its Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and related Management''s Discussion and Analysis with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
"The biggest news of the third quarter will not be seen in the financial results," said James Werry, Interim CEO, "we have structured a transaction with Front Street Capital 2004 that will provide the business with much needed scale and resulting synergies of the combined entity that will provide for a much more viable company for the long-term, complete with a new management team, stronger balance sheet, a relevant and competitive product shelf and strong distribution relationships; all to the benefit of our fund unitholders, debentureholders and shareholders, collectively."
The transaction with Front Street Capital 2004, that was previously announced on September 9, 2016, and subsequently amended on November 10, 2016, is subject to shareholder and debentureholder votes on November 22, 2016 as well as regulatory approvals and certain mutual conditions. The transaction is expected to close, pending the timing of all approvals, by the end of 2016.
Financial Highlights
Aston Hill''s Assets Under Management, Advisory and Administration ("AUM") held relatively steady at $2.01 billion at September 30, 2016 as compared to $2.14 billion at June 30, 2016. The slightly lower AUM is mainly the result of reductions in closed and open end funds AUM. During the third quarter, gross sales of mutual funds were $24 million and net redemptions were $104 million.
For the third quarter, Aston Hill''s revenues were $5.5 million, a decrease of 2.7% from the prior quarter revenues of $5.6 million. The revenue decrease was mainly due to net redemptions to open and closed end funds. Revenue generated by Aston Hill managed investment funds remained flat as a percentage of total revenue (currently 88% compared to 88% in the prior quarter) as management remains focused on higher margin mutual fund growth.
Total expenses (excluding finance expense and impairment loss) for the third quarter were lower at $6.9 million as compared to $7.4 million for the prior quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA (before stock-based compensation, impairment losses, and net investment gains or losses) for the third quarter was a loss of $1.0 million, a 7% increase from the prior quarter adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.1 million due mainly to lower revenue, more than offset by lower expenses in the quarter. Net loss for the quarter was $17.7 million, as compared to a net loss in the prior quarter of $2.3 million, with the decrease primarily due to the impairment losses.
