U.S. GLOBAL INVESTORS REPORTS 1Q08 RESULTS
U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (NASDAQ:GROW),
a boutique registered investment advisory firm specializing in natural
resources and emerging markets, reports that revenue and fund assets
under management both increased in the quarter ended September 30, 2007,
compared to the same three months in 2006.
U.S. Global recorded $2.41 million in net income, or 16 cents per
diluted share, on revenue of $12.95 million during the first three
months of fiscal year 2008. That compares to earnings of $2.48 million,
or 16 cents per diluted share, on revenue of $11.91 million during the
same quarter a year earlier.
Assets under management for SEC-registered funds and other clients stood
at about $5.38 billion at the end of the quarter, more than 7 percent
higher than the $5.00 billion on June 30, 2007, and up about 19 percent
from the $4.52 billion as of September 30, 2006. Assets under management
for the latest quarter averaged $5.04 billion, up from an average of
$4.80 billion during the first fiscal quarter of 2007.
At the end of October 2007, assets under management stood at about $5.98
billion.
The company has scheduled a webcast for 10 a.m. Central time on
Wednesday, November 7, 2007, to discuss the company's key financial
results for the quarter. Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer,
will be accompanied on the webcast by Susan McGee, president and general
counsel, and Catherine Rademacher, chief financial officer.
The 8.8 percent growth in revenue in the first fiscal quarter of 2008
compared to the same period last year is due mostly to increases in
advisory fee revenue associated with growth in assets under management
and to an increase in investment income. Expenses rose 13.7 percent in
the quarter, with most of the increase due to higher employee
compensation resulting from staff additions and strong fund performance
attributable to the Investments team.
As of September 30, 2007, seven of the nine equity funds managed by U.S.
Global Investors were among the top performers in the overall
mutual-fund universe in time periods ranging from three months to 10
years, according to rankings published in the Wall Street Journal.
Several of the funds achieved that distinction in multiple time periods.
"The past quarter was very turbulent for the
stock markets because of the liquidity crunch and volatility associated
with the subprime debt crisis,” says Mr.
Holmes. "In light of that, we had a very
successful quarter both in terms of fund performance and in terms of net
asset flows. We are looking forward to continued growth in our fund
complex, and we have been expanding and strengthening our investment,
marketing and compliance teams to prepare for that growth.
”Many financial institutions are being harmed
by fallout from the subprime crisis, which has led investors to put
their money in safe havens like gold,” Mr.
Holmes says. "We want to make it clear that we
have no products invested in subprime securities, and that despite the
fear of contagion that now permeates the market, we remain bullish on
both the domestic economy and the global economy.
"We believe the odds favor a further drop in
interest rates and that markets will return to the historical pattern of
being up in the third and fourth years of the four-year presidential
election cycle,” Mr. Holmes says. "A
century of data shows the presidential election cycle to be one of the
most reliable market barometers. The economic conditions we see today,
both at home and abroad, give us confidence that this year and 2008 will
follow the long-term trend.” Selected financial data (unaudited) for the three months ended
