Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. Reports Results For Second Quarter 2020


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DHIL) today reported unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2020.

Following are selected highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2020:

"While the ongoing economic effects of the COVID-19 global health crisis persist, our assets under management recovered after the market downturn experienced in March," said Heather Brilliant, president and CEO of Diamond Hill. "Average assets under management decreased year over year and we continued to have net inflows into lower-fee strategies. Both contributed to the revenue decline. We appreciate the partnership we have with our clients, who understand our intrinsic value, long-term investment philosophy and continue to entrust us with additional business."

"Our team continues to focus on providing superior long-term investment capabilities, and we are honored to receive recognition for the results we generate for our clients," Brilliant added. "In May, the Diamond Hill Corporate Credit Fund was upgraded to a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Silver, adding to five other Diamond Hill funds that have earned Gold, Silver or Bronze medals from Morningstar."

Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, particularly because of the continuing effects of COVID-19 on the U.S. and global economies. While the Company expects the pandemic and the related responses to continue to negatively affect results of operations, cash flows and financial position, at this time the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full effect, given the uncertainty over the duration and severity of the pandemic.

As previously announced, Diamond Hill will hold the management presentation and question and answer portions of its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 11, via webcast. Details are available at ir.diamond-hill.com. If shareholders have questions about the second-quarter earnings, please send them to [email protected].

Use of Supplemental Data as Non-GAAP Performance Measure

As supplemental information, Diamond Hill is providing performance measures that are based on methodologies other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP"). Management believes the non-GAAP measures below are useful measures of its core business activities, are important metrics in estimating the value of an asset management business and may enable more appropriate peer comparisons. These non-GAAP measures should not be a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and may be calculated differently by other companies. The following schedule reconciles GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(1) Gains on deferred compensation plan investments, net: The gain on deferred compensation plan investments, which increases deferred compensation expense included in operating income, is removed from operating income in the calculation because it is offset by an equal amount in investment income below net operating income on the income statement, and thus has no impact on net income attributable to the Company.

(2) Net operating income, as adjusted: This non-GAAP measure represents the Company's net operating income adjusted to exclude the impact on compensation expense of gains and losses on investments in the deferred compensation plan.

(3) Tax provision on net operating income, as adjusted: This non-GAAP measure represents the tax provision excluding the impact of investment related activity and is calculated by applying the unconsolidated effective tax rate to net operating income, as adjusted.

(4) Net operating income, as adjusted, after tax: This non-GAAP measure deducts from the net operating income, as adjusted, the tax provision on net operating income, as adjusted.

(5) Net operating income, as adjusted after tax per diluted share: This non-GAAP measure was calculated by dividing the net operating income, as adjusted after tax, by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

(6) Operating profit margin, as adjusted: This non-GAAP measure was calculated by dividing the net operating income, as adjusted, by total revenue.

Diamond Hill does not promote that investors consider the above non-GAAP financial measures alone, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
