DALLAS, Aug. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wilhelmina International, Inc. (Nasdaq:WHLM) ("Wilhelmina" or the "Company") today reported revenues of $19.9 million and net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to revenues of $20.6 million and net income of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Wilhelmina reported revenues of $40.0 million and net income of $0.3 million compared to revenue of $40.3 million and net income of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in revenues when compared to the same periods of the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in bookings in the Wilhelmina Studios division. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, operating income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Pre-Corporate EBITDA increased, primarily due to decreased model costs and decreased office and general expenses, partially offset by an increase in salaries and service costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, operating income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Pre-Corporate EBITDA decreased primarily due to decreased revenue and increased salaries and service costs, partially offset by decreased office and general expenses.
“Wilhelmina delivered a solid second quarter of 2019, increasing year-over-year operating income and EBITDA. The company is energized as we enter the second half of 2019 focused on building brand awareness, developing diverse talent, and expanding our commercial and production businesses.” – Bill Wackermann, CEO, Wilhelmina

Changes in net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, were primarily the result of the following:
- Revenues net of model costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by 1.7% primarily due to a decrease in model costs. Revenues net of model costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by 1.7%, due to decreased bookings in the Wilhelmina Studios division;
- Salaries and service costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by 3.4% and 3.9% primarily due to an increase in employee salaries, partially offset by a reduction in share based payment expense;
- Office and general expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by 13.9% and 12.3%, primarily due to reduced rent expense, legal fees and bad debt expense, as well as the reclassification of certain lease payments as amortization expense under new lease accounting rules;
- Amortization and depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by 24.7% and 23.8%, primarily due to new equipment being placed in service in recent months and certain lease payments previously included within office and general expenses now being classified as amortization under new lease accounting rules; and
- Corporate overhead expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by 3.5% and 2.3%, primarily due to lower securities compliance costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA represent measures of financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP financial measures”). The Company considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA to be important measures of performance because they:
- are key operating metrics of the Company's business;
- are used by management in its planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate its financial and operating results; and
- provide stockholders and potential investors with a means to evaluate the Company's financial and operating results against other companies within the Company's industry.
The Company's calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be consistent with similar calculations by other companies in the Company's industry. The Company calculates EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company calculates “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA plus foreign exchange gain/loss plus share-based payment expense and certain significant non-recurring items that the Company may include from time to time. The Company calculates “Pre-Corporate EBITDA” as Adjusted EBITDA plus corporate overhead expense, which includes director compensation, securities laws compliance costs, audit and professional fees, and other public company costs.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net and operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Form 10-Q Filing
Additional information concerning the Company's results of operations and financial position is included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2019.
