AMRK A Mark Precious Metals Inc

A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRK), a leading fully integrated precious metals platform, reported results for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Management Commentary

“Our first quarter results reflect the continued strength of our fully-integrated platform,” said A-Mark CEO Greg Roberts. “Despite slower market conditions marked by elevated precious metals prices and subdued demand, we delivered $0.37 per diluted share and generated $17.8 million in non-GAAP EBITDA.

"We also took significant steps this quarter to continue to position the business for long-term success. We amended our $422.5 million Trading Credit Facility, extending its maturity date to September 30, 2026, providing the company with stable, long term access to capital for the business. We also made significant progress on our A-Mark Global Logistics (AMGL) facility expansion and logistics automation initiatives. The expected completion in the coming months is anticipated to increase operational capacity and produce efficiencies and long term cost savings. We are also advancing our reach in Asia and have made substantial progress towards establishing a trading office and DTC presence in Singapore and broadening our reach into the surrounding region.

“As noted in our recent press release, during October, Silver Towne Mint acquired all of the assets of Regency Mint Manufacturing, LLC, including its minting equipment and its customer list, further enhancing our minting capacity and expanding our customer base. We are pleased with our recent accomplishments and remain optimistic that our proven integrated business model will allow us to sustain profitability. We remain committed to exploring opportunities that enhance our market reach and deliver value to our shareholders over the long term.”

• Direct-to-Consumer new customers for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased 41% to 55,300 from 39,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and decreased 90% from 570,300 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, approximately 92% of the new customers were attributable to the acquisition of a controlling interest in SGB
• Direct-to-Consumer active customers for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased 22% to 129,900 from 106,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and increased 13% from 114,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.  The increase in the number of active customers was primarily due to the Company acquiring a controlling interest in SGB in June 2024
• Direct-to-Consumer average order value for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $527, or 22% to $2,967 from $2,440 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and increased $77, or 3% from $2,890 for the three months ended June 30, 2024

The decrease in the average order value is partially driven by a higher mix of silver vs. gold orders during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the previous periods noted

Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

Revenues increased 9% to $2.72 billion from $2.48 billion in the same year-ago quarter. Excluding an increase of $217.4 million of forward sales, our revenues increased $13.1 million, or 0.9%, which was due to higher average selling prices of gold and silver, partially offset by a decrease in gold and silver ounces sold.

The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 18% and 13% of the consolidated revenue in the fiscal first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. JMB’s revenue represented 11% of the consolidated revenues for the fiscal first quarter of 2025 compared with 12% for the prior year fiscal first quarter.

Gross profit decreased 12% to $43.4 million (1.60% of revenue) from $49.4 million (1.99% of revenue) in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower gross profits earned from the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment, partially offset by an increase in gross profits earned by the Direct-to-Consumer segment. The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 54% and 43% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gross profit contributed by JMB represented 37% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal first quarter of 2025 and 36% of the consolidated gross profit for the prior year fiscal first quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 22% to $26.6 million from $21.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. The change was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $2.6 million, higher advertising costs of $0.7 million, an increase in consulting and professional fees of $0.2 million, an increase in information technology costs of $0.2 million, and an increase in insurance costs of $0.2 million. SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 include $5.3 million of expenses incurred by LPM and SGB, our recently consolidated subsidiaries which were not included in our prior year Q1 results.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 69% to $4.7 million from $2.8 million in the same year-ago quarter.  The change was primarily due to an increase in amortization expense of $2.2 million relating to intangible assets acquired through our acquisition of LPM and acquisition of a controlling interest in SGB, partially offset by a decrease in JMB intangible asset amortization of $0.5 million.

Interest income increased 16% to $7.1 million from $6.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in other finance product income of $0.6 million and an increase in interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment of $0.3 million.

Interest expense increased 2% to $10.0 million from $9.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of $0.7 million associated with our Trading Credit Facility due to increased borrowings as well as an increase in interest rates and an increase of $0.7 million related to product financing arrangements, partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million related to the AMCF Notes (including amortization of debt issuance costs) due to their repayment in December 2023.

Earnings from equity method investments decreased 79% to $0.6 million from $2.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was due to decreased earnings of our equity method investees.

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $9.0 million or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.8 million or $0.77 per diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.

Adjusted net income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $14.8 million, a decrease of $12.0 million or 45% compared to $26.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was principally due to lower net income before provision for income taxes.

EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $17.8 million, a decrease of $12.6 million or 41% compared to $30.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The net decrease was principally due to lower net income of $10.6 million.

Quarterly Cash Dividend Policy

A-Mark’s Board of Directors has re-affirmed its previously announced regular quarterly cash dividend policy of $0.20 per common share ($0.80 per share on an annual basis). The Company paid a $0.20 quarterly cash dividend on October 22, 2024 to stockholders of record as of October 8, 2024. It is expected that the next quarterly dividend will be paid in January 2025. The declaration of regular cash dividends in the future is subject to the determination each quarter by the Board of Directors, based on a number of factors, including the Company’s financial performance, available cash resources, cash requirements, alternative uses of cash and applicable bank covenants.

About A-Mark Precious MetalsFounded in 1965, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. 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, e-commerce customers, 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.

A-Mark’s consolidated subsidiary, LPM Group Limited (LPM), is one of Asia’s largest precious metals dealers. LPM operates a consumer-facing showroom in Hong Kong’s Central Financial District, and offers a wide selection of products to its wholesale customers through its 24/7 online trading platform, including recently released silver coins, gold bullion, certified coins, and the latest collectible numismatic issues.

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. JMB owns and operates numerous websites targeting specific niches within the precious metals retail market, including JMBullion.com, ProvidentMetals.com, Silver.com, CyberMetals.com, GoldPrice.org, SilverPrice.org, BGASC.com, BullionMax.com, and Gold.com. Goldline markets precious metals directly to the investor community through various channels, including television, radio, and telephonic sales efforts. A-Mark is the majority owner of Silver Gold Bull, a leading online precious metals retailer in Canada, and also holds minority ownership interests in three additional direct-to-consumer brands.

The company operates its Secured Lending segment through its wholly owned subsidiary, Collateral Finance Corporation (CFC). 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.

A-Mark is headquartered in El Segundo, CA and has additional offices and facilities in the neighboring Los Angeles area as well as in Dallas, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Winchester, IN, Vienna, Austria, and Hong Kong. For more information, visit www.amark.com.

A-Mark periodically provides information for investors on its corporate website, www.amark.com, and its investor relations website, ir.amark.com. This includes press releases and other information about financial performance, reports filed or furnished with the SEC, information on corporate governance, and investor presentations.

Important Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsStatements 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 expectations with respect to future profitability and growth, international expansion, operational enhancements, and the amount or timing of any future dividends. 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, including the inability to identify suitable or available acquisition or investment opportunities; greater than anticipated costs incurred to execute this strategy; government regulations that might impede growth, particularly in Asia; the inability to successfully integrate recently acquired businesses; changes in the current international political climate, which historically has favorably contributed to demand and volatility in the precious metals markets but also has posed certain risks and uncertainties for the Company, particularly in recent periods; potential adverse effects of the current problems in the national and global supply chains; 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; potential negative effects that inflationary pressure may have on our business; the inability of the Company to expand capacity at Silver Towne Mint; the failure of our investee companies to maintain, or address the preferences of, their customer bases; general risks of doing business in the commodity markets; and the strategic, business, economic, financial, political and governmental risks and other Risk Factors described in in the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 MeasuresIn addition to presenting the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management believes the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance: “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” and “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“EBITDA”). Management believes the “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” non-GAAP financial performance measure assists 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 this financial measure 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. Management believes the EBITDA non-GAAP liquidity measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of our business operations before investing activities, interest, and income taxes with other publicly traded companies. 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. Management encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial or liquidity measure.

In the Company’s reconciliation from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for income taxes” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes”, the Company eliminates the impact of the following five amounts: acquisition expenses; amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired; depreciation expense; remeasurement gains or losses; and contingent consideration fair value adjustments. The Company’s reconciliations from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for income taxes” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes”, and “net income” and “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” to its non-GAAP “EBITDA” are provided below and are also included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024.
