BBX Capital Corporation Reports Financial Results For the Second Quarter, 2019


BBX Capital Corporation (NYSE: BBX), (OTCQX: BBXTB) ("BBX Capital" or the "Company") reported today its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Selected highlights of BBX Capital's consolidated financial results include:

Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018:

  1. See the supplemental tables included in this release for a reconciliation of BBX Capital's cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for property and equipment.
  2. See the supplemental tables included in this release for a reconciliation of BBX Capital's net income to adjusted EBITDA.

Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2019 Compared to December 31, 2018

  1. Fully diluted book value per share is stockholders' equity divided by the number of Class A and Class B common shares outstanding plus unvested restricted stock awards as of period end

"BBX Capital's results reflect a $39.1 million charge relating to the Bluegreen Vacations and Bass Pro settlement during the second quarter of 2019. We are pleased that Bluegreen and Bass Pro were able to resolve their differences, amend and expand their existing marketing agreement, and resume building on their very successful 19-year partnership. Moreover, we look forward to Bluegreen's planned expansion of its retail marketing operations throughout additional Bass Pro and Cabela's retail store locations which see an approximate 200 million visitors annually," commented Alan B. Levan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBX Capital Corporation. "While the second quarter of 2019 was a challenging period for Bluegreen Vacations our other three segments performed well. Details are summarized below.

"As we have stated each quarter, since many of BBX Capital's assets do not generate income on a regular or predictable basis, our objective continues to be long term growth as measured by increases in book value and intrinsic value over time. Our goal remains to streamline our business verticals so that our business model can be more easily analyzed and followed by the markets. To this end, we are continuing to review and evaluate the performance of our investments and consider transactions involving the sale or a spin-off of assets, investments or subsidiaries," Levan concluded.

BBX Capital Real Estate - Selected Financial Data

Selected highlights of BBX Capital Real Estate's ("BBXRE") financial results include:

Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018:

BBXRE's results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same 2018 period reflect a net increase in sale activity in BBXRE's portfolio in 2019, including its sale of RoboVault, a self-storage facility located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and its sale of the remaining land parcels located at PGA Station in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. In addition, the Altis at Lakeline joint venture completed the sale of its multifamily apartment community located in Cedar Park, Texas, and the PGA Design Center joint venture sold its remaining commercial buildings located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Renin - Selected Financial Data

Selected highlights of Renin's financial results include:

Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018:

  1. See the supplemental tables included in this release for a reconciliation of Renin's net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Renin's operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same 2018 period reflect a decrease in trade sales and gross margin primarily due to lower sales volume from Renin's retail channel customers resulting from a barn door promotion in 2018 that was not repeated during 2019, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses due to a reduction in headcount.

IT'SUGAR- Selected Financial Data

Selected highlights of IT'SUGAR's financial results include:

Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018:

  1. See the supplemental tables included in this release for a reconciliation of IT'SUGAR's net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

IT'SUGAR's operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same 2018 period reflect a net increase in trade sales and gross margin primarily due to the opening of new locations during the second half of 2018 and the first six months of 2019, including the FAO Schweetz location in New York City and the Grand Bazaar location in Las Vegas, partially offset by a net increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily due to the hiring of certain executives during the second half of 2018 and costs associated with the new locations described above.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, IT'SUGAR anticipates opening a 21,000 square foot, three-story flagship location at American Dream Meadowlands, a three million square foot shopping and entertainment complex in New Jersey.

Other Investments

The Company also has other investments in various operating businesses, including restaurant locations in Florida and companies in the confectionery industry. The businesses generated aggregate losses before income taxes of $4.1 million and $4.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Included in the $4.1 million of aggregate losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.1 million of property and equipment impairment losses associated with three MOD Pizza locations that are performing below expectations. Although the Company expects to continue to incur losses from these businesses during 2019, the operating results for these businesses for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the 2018 period reflect the Company's earlier efforts during 2018 to reduce the size of certain of its businesses in the confectionery industry, including the closure of manufacturing facilities and a reduction in personnel and infrastructure.

(1) System-wide Sales of VOIs is a non-GAAP measure and represents all sales of VOIs, whether owned by Bluegreen or a third party immediately prior to the sale. Sales of VOIs owned by third parties are transacted as sales of VOIs in Bluegreen's Vacation Club through the same selling and marketing process it uses to sell its VOI inventory. Bluegreen considers system-wide sales of VOIs to be an important operating measure because it reflects all sales of VOIs by its sales and marketing operations without regard to whether Bluegreen or a third party owned such VOI inventory at the time of sale. System-wide sales of VOIs should not be considered as an alternative to sales of VOIs or any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP or to any other method of analyzing results as reported under GAAP.

(1) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for property and equipment. The Company and Bluegreen focus on the generation of free cash flow. The Company considers free cash flow to be a useful supplemental measure of the Company's and Bluegreen's ability to generate cash flow from operations and is a supplemental measure of liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity. The Company's computation of free cash flow may differ from the methodology utilized by other companies. Investors are cautioned that the item excluded from free cash flow is a significant component in understanding and assessing the Company's financial performance.

(1) Bluegreen's EBITDA is defined as earnings or net income, before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on financings related to Bluegreen's receivable-backed notes payable), income and franchise taxes, and depreciation and amortization. For purposes of the EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on Bluegreen's VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the operations of Bluegreen's business.

Bluegreen's Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (in which Bluegreen has a 51% equity interest) and items that the Company believes are not representative of ongoing operating results. Accordingly, amounts paid, accrued, or incurred in connection with the Bass Pro settlement in June 2019 were excluded in the computation of Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company considers Bluegreen's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of Bluegreen's operating performance, and they are used to measure Bluegreen's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. Additionally, the tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the related depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

The Company considers Bluegreen's Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful supplemental measure of Bluegreen's operating performance that facilitates the comparability of historical financial periods.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of Bluegreen's financial performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity. The Company's computation of Bluegreen's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methodology utilized by other companies. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing Bluegreen's financial performance.

The Company considers Renin's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of Renin's operating performance, and they are used to measure Renin's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business.
