Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results
Strong performance delivered across multiple products
Increased regular quarterly dividend and repurchased stock
Dallas, TX, October 27, 2021 – Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. (NYSE: WHG) today reported third quarter 2021 earnings. Significant items include:
▪Improved revenues of $17.9 million vs. the second quarter's $17.5 million and $15.5 million a year ago.
▪Higher net income of $1.9 million vs. the second quarter's $1.0 million and vs. a $10.3 million net loss in last year's third quarter.
▪Our LargeCap Value, SmidCap, AllCap Value and Alternative Income strategies all beat their primary benchmarks for the quarter.
▪In peer rankings, Alternative Income and SmidCap achieved top quintile rankings, and AllCap Value achieved a top third ranking.
▪Westwood held $76.6 million in cash and short-term investments as of September 30, 2021, down $15.7 million from the second quarter after a special dividend payment of $2.50 per common share, or $20.8 million, was paid in August.
▪Stockholders' equity was $115.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and we continue to have no debt.
▪Non-GAAP economic earnings of $3.7 million compared favorably with the second quarter's $2.8 million and a loss of $1.7 million a year ago.
▪We declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per common share, payable on January 3, 2022 to stockholders of record on December 3, 2021.
Brian Casey, Westwood’s President and CEO, commented, "This was a quarter in which we made progress across a variety of fronts. We successfully deployed the terrific mandates won by our institutional team earlier in the year and our solid performance story continued to unfold as US Value and Multi-Asset turned in good performances versus benchmarks and peer universes. As the quarter drew to a close, we launched two new mutual funds and rolled out a new client portal to provide our Wealth clients with world-class access to their investments. I’m pleased to report that our financial performance also reflected the improving business environment and, after a special dividend of $2.50 per share was paid in August, the board decided to increase our regular quarterly dividend to $0.15 per share. That action, together with our stock repurchase program, underscore our commitment to protect and enhance shareowner value while continuing to invest in our people, products and processes to generate healthy organic growth for Westwood in the months and years ahead."
Revenues were comparable to the second quarter and higher than last year's third quarter reflecting higher average assets under management ("AUM"), partially offset by lower performance fees.
AUM of $13.8 billion decreased from $14.4 billion at June 30, 2021, primarily due to net outflows and market depreciation.
Third quarter net income of $1.9 million exceeded the second quarter's $1.0 million due to the combination of somewhat higher revenues and lower operating expenses. Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.24 compared with $0.12 for the second quarter. Non-GAAP economic earnings of $3.7 million, or $0.47 per share, compared with economic earnings of $2.8 million, or $0.35 per share, in the second quarter.
Third quarter net income of $1.9 million compared favorably with last year's third quarter net loss of $10.3 million primarily due to higher revenues on higher average AUM and several non-recurring items impacting the prior third quarter. Diluted EPS of $0.24 compared with a loss of $1.31 per share for last year's third quarter. Non-GAAP economic earnings were $3.7 million, or $0.47 per share, compared with economic losses of $1.7 million, or $0.22 per share, for the third quarter of 2020.
Economic earnings (loss) and Economic EPS are non-GAAP performance measures and are explained and reconciled with the most comparable GAAP numbers in the attached tables.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Economic Earnings (Loss)
(in thousands, except per share and share amounts)
(unaudited)
As supplemental information, we are providing non-GAAP performance measures that we refer to as Economic Earnings (Loss) and Economic EPS. We provide these measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, which are reported on a GAAP basis. Our management and Board of Directors review Economic Earnings (Loss) and Economic EPS to evaluate our ongoing performance, allocate resources, and review our dividend policy. We believe that these non-GAAP performance measures, while not substitutes for GAAP net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share, are useful for management and investors when evaluating our underlying operating and financial performance and our available resources. We do not advocate that investors consider these non-GAAP measures without also considering financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We define Economic Earnings (Loss) as net income (loss) plus non-cash equity-based compensation expense, impairment expense, amortization of intangible assets, currency translation adjustment reclassification and deferred taxes related to goodwill. Although depreciation on fixed assets is a non-cash expense, we do not add it back when calculating Economic Earnings (Loss) because depreciation charges represent an allocation of the decline in the value of the related assets that will ultimately require replacement. In addition, we do not adjust Economic Earnings (Loss) for tax deductions related to restricted stock expense or amortization of intangible assets. Economic EPS represents Economic Earnings (Loss) divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
