Medley Management Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

NEW YORK , Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Medley Management Inc. (NYSE: MDLY) ("MDLY" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2020 . All share and per share results reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split which was effective on October 30, 2020 .

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Total revenues were $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $11.5 million for the same period in 2019. Revenues consisted of $7.9 million of management fees and other revenue and $0.4 million of investment income. The decrease in total revenues was due primarily to lower base management fees as a result of a decrease in fee earning assets under management, which was mainly driven by a reduction in leverage and change in portfolio valuations.

Total expenses from operations were $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2019. The variance was attributed to a $3.1 million decrease in compensation and benefits expense and a$1.8 million decrease in general, administrative and other expenses. The decrease in compensation and benefits expense was primarily attributed to a decline in average headcount and decline in stock compensation expense. The decrease in other expenses was due primarily to a decrease in professional fees, primarily driven by lower costs associated with our terminated merger with Sierra Income Corporation ("Sierra"). General and administrative expenses also declined as a result of headcount reduction, employees working remotely and restrictions on travel and other expenses due to the impact of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

Total other expenses, net were $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and consisted of $2.5 million of interest expense and $0.2 million of other expenses. Total other expenses, net were $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and consisted of $2.9 million of interest expense, $1.8 million of other income and $0.2 million of dividend income. Of the $1.8 million of other income, $2.0 million relates to an unrealized gain on shares held of MCC. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 , we did not hold any shares of MCC, resulting in no unrealized gains or losses recorded in the period.

Net loss attributable to Medley Management Inc. and non-controlling interests in Medley LLC was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for the same period in 2019.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Revenues consisted of $26.1 million of management fees and other revenue and $1.3 million of investment loss. The decrease was due primarily to lower base management fees as a result of a decrease in fee earning assets under management, which was mainly driven by a decline in portfolio valuations, a reduction in leverage, and a decline in investment income due to equity losses and reversal of previously recorded carried interest.

Total expenses from operations were $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $34.8 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was due primarily to a decline in compensation and benefits as a result of lower average headcount and discretionary bonuses, offset in part by an increase in professional fees. Included in total expenses are costs associated with our terminated merger of $3.5 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Total other expenses, net were $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and consisted of $8.0 million of interest expense and $5.6 million of other expenses, offset in part by $0.1 million of dividend income.

The increase of $5.6 million in other expenses was due primarily to the revaluation of our revenue share payable.
