Duff & Phelps Corporation (NYSE: DUF), a leading independent financial advisory and investment banking firm, today announced financial results for its third quarter of 2010 and declared a quarterly dividend.

Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, Duff & Phelps generated revenues excluding reimbursable expenses of $84.4 million, compared to $93.2 million for the corresponding prior year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter was $12.2 million, representing 14.5% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses, compared to $16.5 million for the corresponding prior year quarter, representing 17.7% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses.  Net income attributable to Duff & Phelps Corporation was $4.1 million, or $0.15 per share of Class A common stock on a fully diluted basis, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.14 for the corresponding prior year quarter.  Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income(1) was $5.7 million, or $0.15 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.22 per share, for the corresponding prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Duff & Phelps generated revenues excluding reimbursable expenses of $262.3 million, compared to $272.6 million for the corresponding prior year period.  Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the period was $42.4 million, representing 16.1% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses, compared to $48.5 million for the corresponding prior year period, representing 17.8% of revenues excluding reimbursable expenses.  Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 excludes a $3.6 million charge related to the departure of our former president and one of our segment leaders(2).  Net income attributable to Duff & Phelps Corporation was $10.9 million, or $0.40 per share of Class A common stock on a fully diluted basis, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.35 for the corresponding prior year period.  Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income(1) was $20.2 million, or $0.52 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis, compared to $23.4 million, or $0.64 per share, for the corresponding prior year period.  Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income(1) per share excludes a $0.05 per share charge related to the departure of our former president and one of our segment leaders(2).

“During the third quarter, certain of our businesses experienced revenue challenges due to the recent economic environment and lower restructuring activity.  In addition, we faced a difficult year-over-year comparison given the significant revenue contribution of last year’s Lehman Examiner assignment,” said Noah Gottdiener, chief executive officer.  “Despite these challenges, we saw meaningful improvements in our M&A correlated businesses compared to last year.  Based on increased levels of transaction activity, we anticipate improved business performance in the fourth quarter, in particular from our M&A correlated businesses.

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company also announced today that its board of directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share on its outstanding Class A common stock.  The dividend is payable on December 3, 2010 to shareholders of record on November 23, 2010.


(1)
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share are non-GAAP financial measures.  See definitions and disclosures herein.
 
(2)
On April 22, 2010, the Company announced certain management changes related to the departure of our former president and one of our segment leaders.  The Company incurred a onetime charge associated with these changes of approximately $3.6 million in its second quarter of 2010 related to cash severance and the accounting impact of accelerated vesting of equity-based awards.  Of this amount, approximately $3.0 million primarily resulted from cash severance and a charge from the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards which is added back to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income (as defined below).  The remaining approximately $0.5 million related to a charge from the accelerated vesting of Legacy Units and IPO Options, which is also added back to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income (as defined below) consistent with prior presentation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income per share are non-GAAP financial measures.  We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a relevant and useful alternative measure of our ongoing profitability and performance, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP measures, as it adjusts net income or loss attributable to Duff & Phelps Corporation for (a) net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, (b) provision for income taxes, (c) interest expense and depreciation and amortization (a significant portion of which relates to debt and capital investments that have been incurred as the result of acquisitions and investments in stand-alone infrastructure which we do not expect to incur at the same levels in the future), (d) equity-based compensation associated with the Legacy Units of D&P Acquisitions, a significant portion of which is due to certain onetime grants associated with acquisitions prior to our IPO, and options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock granted in connection with the IPO, (e) impairment charges, acquisition retention expenses and other merger and acquisition costs, which are generally non-recurring in nature or are related to deferred payments associated with prior acquisitions, and (f) costs incurred from the realignment of our senior management which are generally non-recurring in nature and primarily include cash severance and charges from the accounting impact of the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock awards.

Given the level of acquisition activity during the period prior to our IPO, and related capital investments and one time equity grants associated with acquisitions during the this period (which we do not expect to incur at the same levels post IPO) and the IPO, and our belief that, as a professional services organization, our operations are not capital intensive on an ongoing basis, we believe the Adjusted EBITDA measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, provides a relevant and useful benchmark for investors, in order to assess our financial performance and comparability to other companies in our industry.  The Adjusted EBITDA measure is utilized by our senior management to evaluate our overall performance and operating expense characteristics and to compare our performance to that of certain of our competitors.  A measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is the principal measure that determines the compensation of our senior management team.  In addition, a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure that determines compliance with certain financial covenants under our credit facility.  Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using the Adjusted EBITDA measure through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income or loss.  Furthermore, management also reviews GAAP measures, and evaluates individual measures that are not included in Adjusted EBITDA such as our level of capital expenditures, equity issuance and interest expense, among other measures.

(a)
Represents elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by existing unitholders of D&P Acquisitions (excluding D&P Corporation), as if such unitholders had fully exchanged their partnership units and Class B common stock of the Company for shares of Class A common stock of the Company.
 
(b)
Represents a non-recurring charge from the repayment and subsequent termination of our credit agreement.
 
(c)
Represents elimination of equity-based compensation associated with Legacy Units and IPO Options.
 
(d)
Represents elimination of a charge from the departure of our former president and one of our segment leaders which is not included in equity-based compensation from Legacy Units and IPO Options.
 
(e)
Represents an adjustment to reflect an assumed effective corporate tax rate of approximately 40.6% and 40.8% for the full year, as applied to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which includes a provision for U.S. federal income taxes and assumes the highest statutory rates apportioned to each state, local and/or foreign jurisdiction.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the pro forma tax rates of 41.1% and 39.5% reflect a true-up adjustment relating to the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Assumes full exchange of existing unitholders' partnership units and Class B common stock of the Company into Class A common stock of the Company.
 
 (f)
Based on the weighted-average number of aggregated Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding, excluding Ongoing RSAs, and dilutive effect of Ongoing RSAs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company believes that IPO Options would not be considered dilutive when applying the treasury method.
 
Both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income are non-GAAP financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered alternatives to, measurements required by GAAP, such as operating income, net income or loss, net income or loss per share, cash flow from continuing operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP.  The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures.  In addition, it should be noted that companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income differently and, therefore, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income as presented for us may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income reported by other companies.

(1)
The utilization rate for any given period is calculated by dividing the number of hours incurred by client service professionals who worked on client assignments (including internal projects for the Company) during the period by the total available working hours for all of such client service professionals during the same period, assuming a 40 hour work week, less paid holidays and vacation days.  Financial Advisory utilization excludes client service professionals associated with Rash & Associates, L.P. (“Rash”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, due to the nature of the work performed, and client service professionals from our acquisition of Cole Valuation Partners Limited prior to their transition to the Company’s financial system.
(2)
Average billing rate-per-hour is calculated by dividing applicable revenues for the period by the number of hours worked on client assignments (including internal projects for the Company) during the same period.  Financial Advisory revenues used to calculate rate-per-hour exclude revenues associated with Rash.  The average billing rate also excludes certain hours from our acquisition of Cole Valuation Partners Limited prior to their transition to the Company’s financial system.
