SPROTT ANNOUNCES YEAR ENDED 2021 RESULTS

 

TORONTO, ON - February 25, 2022 - Sprott Inc. (NYSE/TSX: SII) (“Sprott” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Management commentary

 

"Each of Sprott’s business units performed well in 2021 and our Assets Under Management (“AUM”) finished the year at $20.4 billion, up $3.1 billion (18%) from December 31, 2020. This led to Sprott generating full year net income of $33.2 million ($1.33 per share), up 23%, or $6.2 million ($0.23 per share) from the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, adjusted base EBITDA1 for the year reached a record high of $64.1 million ($2.58 per share), up 45%, or $19.9 million ($0.78 per share) from the year ended December 31, 2020. The key driver of our success in 2021 was our Exchange Listed Products segment, which generated $3.1 billion in net sales on the year. We also received solid contributions from our Brokerage and Lending segments," said Peter Grosskopf, CEO of Sprott.

 

"During the third quarter of 2021, we launched the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, which established Sprott as the global leader in physical uranium investments. This strategic move into an adjacent mineral asset category was a natural complement to our core expertise in precious metals. During the fourth quarter, we further expanded our uranium business through an agreement to acquire the exclusive licensing rights to the index tracked by the North Shore Global Uranium Miners ETF ("URNM"), the second largest global uranium equity ETF. There is growing investor demand for low-carbon and energy transition investments and we are actively working on new strategies in this rapidly expanding category.

 

"We were pleased to have generated our solid 2021 results despite the lackluster performance of gold and silver throughout the year. However, early in 2022, the picture for precious metals has already improved considerably. Sprott is well positioned to thrive in the current environment and we look forward to continuing to create value for our shareholders and clients."

 

Financial highlights1

 

Key Assets under Management ("AUM") highlights

 

AUM was $20.4 billion as at December 31, 2021, up $1.4 billion (8%) from September 30, 2021 and up $3.1 billion (18%) from December 31, 2020. On a three and twelve months ended basis, we benefited from strong inflows to our physical trusts and lending strategies. We also benefited from the UPC acquisition adding $630 million to our physical trusts in the third quarter. These increases more than offset market value depreciation across most of our fund products during the year.

 

Key revenue highlights

 

Management fees were $27.8 million in the quarter, up $5.8 million (26%) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $103.9 million on a full year basis, up $31 million (43%) from the year ended December 31, 2020. Carried interest and performance fees were $4.3 million in the quarter, down $5.8 million (57%) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $12.2 million on a full year basis, up $2.2 million (21%) from the year ended December 31, 2020. Net fees were $26.5 million in the quarter, up $1.2 million (5%) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $99.5 million on a full year basis, up $26.4 million (36%) from the year ended December 31, 2020. Our revenue performance was primarily due to strong net inflows in our exchange listed products segment (primarily our silver bullion trust) and higher average AUM resulting from the UPC acquisition and subsequent inflows into this newly acquired fund. We also benefited from inflows in our lending and brokerage segments. Additionally, we experienced carried interest crystallization in our lending segment.

 

Commission revenues were $14.2 million in the quarter, up $7.4 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $45.3 million on a full year basis, up $17.8 million (65%) from the year ended December 31, 2020. Net commissions were $7 million in the quarter, up $2.4 million (53%) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $24 million on a full year basis, up $5.7 million (31%) from the year ended December 31, 2020. Net commissions were strong in the quarter and on a full year basis due to a combination of commissions earned on strong mining equity origination in our brokerage segment during the first half of the year and commissions earned on the purchase of uranium in our exchange listed products segment during the second half of the year.

 

Finance income was $0.8 million in the quarter, down $0.8 million (52%) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $3.5 million on a full year basis, down $0.4 million (11%) from the year ended December 31, 2020. Our quarterly and full year results are primarily driven by income generation in co-investment positions we hold in LPs managed in our lending segment.

 

Key expense highlights

 

Net fees, net commissions, adjusted base EBITDA and operating margins are key drivers of the Company’s net compensation expense and related net compensation expense ratio (net compensation divided by net fees and net commissions). Net compensation expense was $12.4 million in the quarter, up $0.6 million (5%) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020. This compares to net fees and commissions growth of 12% and adjusted base EBITDA growth of 20% over the same time period. Net compensation expense was $47.9 million on a full year basis, up $7.9 million (20%) from the year ended December 31, 2020. This compares to net fees and commissions growth of 35% and adjusted base EBITDA growth of 45% over the same time period. Our net compensation expense ratio on a full year basis was 39% compared to 44% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

SG&A was $4.2 million in the quarter, up $1.9 million (80%) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $14.7 million on a full year basis, up $3.6 million (32%) from the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was mainly due to higher marketing, regulatory and technology costs.

Earnings summary

 

Net income was $10.2 million ($0.41 per share) in the quarter, up 51%, or $3.5 million ($0.14 per share) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $33.2 million ($1.33 per share) on a full year basis, up 23%, or $6.2 million ($0.23 per share) from the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Adjusted base EBITDA was $17.7 million ($0.71 per share) in the quarter, up 20%, or $3 million ($0.11 per share) from the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and a record $64.1 million ($2.58 per share) on a full year basis, up 45%, or $19.9 million ($0.78 per share) from the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

On a quarterly and full year basis, we benefited from strong inflows into our physical trusts (primarily silver bullion), the UPC acquisition, subsequent additional inflows into this newly acquired fund and our lending products. Finally, we saw very robust mining equity origination activity in the first half of the year, coupled with strong ongoing AUM development in our brokerage segment.

Subsequent events

 

On February 24, 2022, the Sprott Board of Directors announced a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

 

Sprott is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has approved the notice of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). Pursuant to the terms of the NCIB, Sprott may purchase its own common shares for cancellation through the facilities of the TSX, alternative Canadian trading systems and/or the New York Stock Exchange, in each case in accordance with the applicable requirements, and as otherwise permitted under applicable securities laws. The maximum number of common shares which may be purchased by Sprott during the NCIB will not exceed 646,743 common shares being approximately 2.5% of 25,869,734 (representing the number of issued and outstanding common shares as of February 17, 2022). The average daily trading volume (the “ADTV”) of the common shares on the TSX for the six-month period ended January 31, 2022 was 50,800. Under the rules of the TSX, Sprott is entitled to repurchase during the same trading day on the TSX up to 25% of the ADTV of the common shares, being 12,700 common shares, except where such purchases are made in accordance with the "block purchase" exemption under applicable TSX policy. Sprott will effect purchases at varying times commencing on March 3, 2022 and ending on March 2, 2023.

 

In addition to providing shareholders liquidity, Sprott believes that the common shares have been trading in a price range which does not adequately reflect the value of such shares in relation to Sprott’s business and its future prospects.

 

Under its prior NCIB that commenced on March 3, 2021 and will terminate March 2, 2022, Sprott previously sought and received approval from the TSX to repurchase up to 642,576 common shares. Sprott did not purchase any common shares pursuant to its previously authorized NCIB.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

This press release includes financial terms (including AUM, net revenues, net commissions, net fees, expenses, adjusted base EBITDA, net compensation) that the Company utilizes to assess the financial performance of its business that are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These non-IFRS measures should not be considered alternatives to performance measures determined in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Our key performance indicators and non-IFRS and other financial measures are discussed below. For quantitative reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures please see schedule 2 and schedule 3 of the "Supplemental financial information" section of this press release.

 

Net fees

 

Management fees (net of trailer, sub-advisor, other fees and direct payouts) and carried interest and performance fees (net of carried interest and performance fee payouts) are key revenue indicators as they represent the net revenue contribution after directly associated costs that we generate from our AUM.

 

Net commissions

 

Commissions, net of commission expenses (internal and external), arise primarily from transaction-based service offerings of our brokerage segment and purchases and sales of uranium in our exchange listed products segment.

 

Net compensation

 

Net compensation excludes commission expenses paid to employees, other direct payouts to employees, carried interest and performance fee payouts to employees, which are all presented net of their related revenues in this MD&A, and severance and new hire accruals which are non-recurring.

 

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted base EBITDA

 

EBITDA in its most basic form is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the investment industry by management, investors and investment analysts in understanding and comparing results by factoring out the impact of different financing methods, capital structures, amortization techniques and income tax rates between companies in the same industry. While other companies, investors or investment analysts may not utilize the same method of calculating EBITDA (or adjustments thereto), the Company believes its adjusted base EBITDA metric, in particular, results in a better comparison of the Company's underlying operations against its peers and a better indicator of recurring results from operations as compared to other non-IFRS financial measures.

 

Fund Reorganization Information

 

Subject to the approval of a reorganization by the shareholders of URNM, a series of the Exchange Traded Concepts Trust, URNM will be reorganized into a newly created series of the Sprott Funds Trust, the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF, which series will be advised by Sprott Asset Management and sub-advised by ALPS Advisors, Inc. A Registration Statement for the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF has been filed with the SEC but is not yet effective. Information contained therein is subject to completion or amendment. Fund securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective. Shareholders of URNM are urged to carefully read the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC in connection with the reorganization in its entirety because it contains important information about the fund reorganization. Shareholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement/prospectus at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
