/EIN News/ -- Net revenue of $360.6 million for the fourth quarter 2015 and $1.1 billion for fiscal 2015

Adjusted EBITDA of $26.7 million and $96.9 million in Q4 and FY15, respectively, from our Core Operating Subsidiaries

NEW YORK, March 15, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2”) (NYSE MKT:HCHC), a diversified holding company that focuses on acquiring and operating businesses that it considers to be under or fairly valued and growing its acquired businesses, today announced its consolidated results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015, which ended on December 31, 2015. 

“2015 was an exciting year for HC2 highlighted by the diversification of our business through the establishment of our insurance industry platform as well as the solid performance from our other Core Operating Subsidiaries,” said Philip Falcone, HC2’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Longer-term, we believe that HC2 is well positioned to build significant shareholder value given its diverse array of operating subsidiaries and commitment to pursue highly attractive, cash flow positive businesses.”

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Highlights:

• Net revenue: HC2 recorded consolidated total net revenues of $360.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of $136.6 million, or 61%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily driven by the expansion in scale and number of customer relationships in our Telecommunications segment.
  
  HC2 recorded consolidated total net revenue of $1,120.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $573.4 million, or 105%, as compared to fiscal 2014 as reported due to the full year impact of acquisitions made in 2014 and expansion in scale and customer relationships in our Telecommunications segment. 
  
  
• Operating Profit/(Loss): HC2 reported a loss of $3.2 million from operations for the fourth quarter compared to a loss of $6.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily driven by a reduction in corporate share-based payment expense due to equity awards granted in the fourth quarter of 2014.    
  
  Operating profit for fiscal year 2015 was $2.2 million compared to a loss of $13.6 million during fiscal year 2014.  The increase in operating profit was largely the result of the full year impact of the acquisitions made in 2014 and improved profitability in our Manufacturing and Telecommunications segments.  The increase was offset in part by an increase in acquisition and overhead costs in our Non-operating Corporate segment and decreases in our Life Sciences and Other segments (“Early-Stage and Other”).
  
  
• Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for our Manufacturing, Marine Services, Telecommunications, Utilities, and Insurance segments (our “Core Operating Subsidiaries”), was a combined $26.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 and $96.9 million for fiscal year 2015. This compares to a combined Adjusted EBITDA of $94.3 million during fiscal year 2014.
  
  Adjusted EBITDA for our Core Operating Subsidiaries benefitted from strong growth in our Manufacturing segment due largely to margin expansion, growth in scale and customer relationships in the Telecommunications segment, and an increase in the number of natural gas fueling stations in our Utilities segment.  This was offset by the impact of fewer installation projects in the Marine Services segment when compared to 2014 on a pro-forma basis.
  
  HC2 recorded total Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 and $51.9 million for fiscal year 2015 after considering results from Early-Stage and Other (including a $5.0 million and $12.0 million Novatel Wireless non-cash charge in the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015, respectively) and our Non-Operating Corporate segment.
  
  
• Balance sheet: As of December 31, 2015, HC2 had consolidated cash, cash equivalents and investments of $1.5 billion, which includes the addition of our Insurance segment during the fourth quarter.  At the corporate level, HC2 had $41.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of the year.

Additional Fourth Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments:

• On December 24, 2015, HC2 completed the acquisition of long-term care and life insurance businesses, United Teacher Associates Insurance Company (“UTAIC”) and Continental General Insurance Company (“CGIC”). UTAIC and CGIC had approximately $80.0 million of statutory surplus and $1.9 billion in total GAAP assets as of December 31, 2015.  
  
  
• Schuff’s backlog was $380.8 million as of December 31, 2015 consistent with the third quarter 2015 backlog.  Notable ongoing projects include the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles, the new Apple headquarters in Cupertino, CA, the new Volvo facility in South Carolina, the Anaheim Convention Center, and the Loma Linda Hospital in Los Angeles.
  
  
• Global Marine announced the acquisition of a majority interest in CWind Limited, a leading offshore renewables specialist, highlighting the continued commitment to the offshore renewable sector.  Global Marine also completed operations and installed a fiber optic cable between the Japanese island of Okinawa and an existing branching unit (BU) in the Asia Submarine-cable Express (ASE) system.  In addition, Global Marine secured a sub-contract to install an optic cable between the Indonesian islands of Bali and Lombok and a contract win from Ocean Networks Canada, to upgrade the fibre optic cables serving the NEPTUNE observatory off the west coast of Canada.
  
  Global Marine recently announced the award of  the extension of the North America Maintenance Zone (NAZ) submarine cable maintenance contract up to December 31, 2024.  This long-term extension demonstrates Global Marine’s capability to deliver highly responsive and well-executed maintenance provisions to its customers.
  
  Huawei Marine Networks, one of Global Marine’s Joint Venture partners, secured a contract to build the Cameroon-Brazil Cable System (CBCS), connecting Africa to Latin America.
  
  
• On November 4, 2015, HC2 announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 8,452,500 newly issued shares of HC2’s common stock. The net proceeds to HC2 from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $54.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

The pro forma basis gives effect to the impact from our 2014 acquisitions of Schuff and Global Marine as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-US GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our US GAAP financial results.

In 2015, we adjusted our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the adjustment for income (loss) from equity investees. We believe that the income generated by the equity investees of our Marine Services segment is an integral part of the segment's operating results. For consistency purposes we applied the same treatment to the equity investees within our Other segment. For the year ended December 31, 2014, this change resulted in an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million and $6.3 million on an as reported and pro forma basis, respectively.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for depreciation and amortization; asset impairment expense; gain (loss) on sale or disposal of assets; lease termination costs; interest expense; loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt; other income (expense), net; foreign currency transaction gain (loss); income tax (benefit) expense; gain (loss) from discontinued operations; noncontrolling interest; share-based compensation expense; acquisition related costs; and other costs. See below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.
