    DALLAS, May 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wilhelmina International, Inc. (Nasdaq:WHLM) ("Wilhelmina" or the "Company") today reported revenues of $16.6 million and net income of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to revenues of $12.0 million and net income of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Increased revenues in 2022 were primarily due to increased bookings as the cities where Wilhelmina operates reopened and business activity increased as COVID-19 restrictions were moderated or rescinded. Prior year income was impacted by $1.9 million of gain on forgiveness of PPP loans and $0.4 million of employee retention payroll tax credits during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

    Pre-Corporate EBITDA was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to Pre-Corporate EBITDA of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

    Changes in net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, were primarily the result of the following:

    • Salaries and service costs increased by 41.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to temporary reductions in staff salaries in the prior year, which returned to full salary in July 2021;
    • Office and general expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by 17.1% primarily due to reduced rent expense, other office related expenses, utilities, computer expenses, and legal expenses;
    • Amortization and depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by 77.8%, primarily due to reduced depreciation of assets that became fully amortized in 2021;
    • Non-recurring items included $1.9 million of gain on forgiveness of a Paycheck Protection Program loan and $0.4 million of employee retention credit for the three months ended March 31, 2021;   and
    • Corporate overhead increased by 3.7%, primarily due to temporary reduction in fees paid to corporate employees and the Company’s directors in the prior year that returned to full fee in July 2021.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA represent measures of financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP financial measures”). The Company considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA to be important measures of performance because they:

    • are key operating metrics of the Company's business;
    • are used by management in its planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate its financial and operating results; and
    • provide stockholders and potential investors with a means to evaluate the Company's financial and operating results against other companies within the Company's industry.

    The Company's calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be consistent with similar calculations by other companies in the Company's industry. The Company calculates EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company calculates “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA plus foreign exchange gain/loss, share-based payment expense and certain significant non-recurring items that the Company may include from time to time. For 2021, these non-recurring items represented gain on forgiveness of a PPP loan and employee retention payroll tax credit. The Company calculates “Pre-Corporate EBITDA” as Adjusted EBITDA plus corporate overhead expense, which includes director compensation, securities laws compliance costs, audit and professional fees, and other public company costs.

    Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net and operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

    Form 10-Q Filing

    Additional information concerning the Company's results of operations and financial position is included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2022.
