Other key second quarter highlights included:

Consolidated results:

  • Total revenues of $308.5 million increased 22% over the second quarter of 2017
  • Total Company agency proceeds2 (non-GAAP measure) of $206.8 million increased 24% from $166.2 million in the second quarter of 2017
  • Cash provided by operating activities of $107.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018
  • Repayment of $27.3 million of long-term debt in the second quarter of 2018, and $56.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018
  • Increased quarterly cash dividend by 6% to $0.18 per share

Auctions & Marketplaces ("A&M") segment:

  • Gross Transaction Value ("GTV")3 of $1.4 billion increased 14% from $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2017
  • Total revenues of $274.3 million increased 21% from $226.4 million in the second quarter of 2017

  • A&M revenue rate5 and A&M agency proceeds rate6 (non-GAAP measure), each improved 120 basis points ("bps") over the second quarter of 2017

"In the second quarter, we delivered strong double-digit revenue and agency proceeds growth on a combined company basis versus prior year through improved execution, positive price realization for our customers and increased A&M revenue rate. We had excellent performance in the US where we delivered strong live auction comps and achieved record quarterly online performance. Also, our US Strategic Accounts team drove strong growth through new customer acquisition. We also generated strong Services revenue growth with RB Financial Services up 42% and Mascus up 43% continuing their strong growth trajectory," said Ravi Saligram, Chief Executive Officer.

Saligram continued, "We were pleased with our earnings growth and our strong operating cash flows in the quarter. This allowed us to pay down $27 million of long-term debt in the quarter and increase the dividend. As we enter the second half, we are encouraged to see our sales teams gaining traction on leveraging our multi-channel solutions and offering the appropriate channel that best meets individual customer needs."

Diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that comparing diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders for different financial periods provides useful information about the growth or decline of its diluted EPS attributable to stockholders for the relevant financial period, and eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items the Company does not consider to be part of its normal operating results. Diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to stockholders (non-GAAP measure), net of the effect of dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding. Diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Company's consolidated financial statements under "Non-GAAP Measures".

2

The Company's income statement scorecard includes the non-GAAP measure performance metric, agency proceeds. Agency proceeds is also an element of the performance criteria for certain annual short-term incentive awards the Company grants to its employees and officers. The Company calculates agency proceeds by subtracting the cost of inventory sold and ancillary and logistical service expenses from total revenues.

3

GTV represents total proceeds from all items sold at the Company's live on site auctions and online marketplaces. GTV is not a measure of financial performance, liquidity, or revenue, and is not presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

4

A&M agency proceeds is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides useful information about the performance of the Company's A&M contracts for different financial periods. A&M agency proceeds is calculated as A&M total revenues less cost of inventory sold and is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Company's consolidated financial statements under "Non-GAAP Measures".

5

The Company believes A&M segment total revenues are best understood by considering their relationship to GTV. The metric that the Company uses to measure that performance is A&M revenue rate, which is calculated as A&M total revenues divided by GTV.

6

A&M agency proceeds rate is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides useful information about the performance of our operations by comparing the margins we earn on our contracts for different financial periods. A&M agency proceeds rate is calculated by dividing A&M agency proceeds (non-GAAP measure) by GTV. A&M agency proceeds rate is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in our consolidated financial statements under "Non-GAAP Measures".

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"). Revenues from inventory sales and ancillary and logistical service revenues are presented gross of the related expenses rather than net. Accordingly, in addition to total revenues, the Company has added a new metric to its disclosures called agency proceeds (non-GAAP measure), which presents revenues as previously reported and is calculated as total revenues under Topic 606 less the cost of inventory sold and ancillary and logistical service expenses. Prior periods presented have been restated to conform with this new revenue standard. For further details on Topic 606, refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018.

Results of operations – second quarter update
For the three months ended June 30, 2018

Consolidated Performance Highlights

Total revenues increased 22% to $308.5 million in a supply environment that continues to be constrained. Total revenue growth was driven by incremental volume from the acquisition of IronPlanet (the "Acquisition"). The second quarter included three full months of Acquisition volume versus one month of post-Acquisition activity in the second quarter last year. The increase was also due to positive performance of the Company's live on site auctions and online marketplaces driven by continued price realization, increase in sales of inventory, partial fee harmonization, and an increase in ancillary and logistical services. Foreign exchange had a positive impact on total revenues in the second quarter of 2018. 

Agency proceeds (non-GAAP measure) improved 24% to $206.8 million versus $166.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 driven by growth in GTV and service revenues, which includes higher fee revenues related to the partial fee harmonization.

Costs of services increased 19% to $43.0 million in the second quarter. The increase was primarily due to the Acquisition, which included three months of costs associated with inspection and appraisal activities versus one month of costs in the second quarter last year. Increases were also driven by incremental costs supporting the growth within the Company's service revenues including ancillary and logistical services.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $26.9 million, or 36% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. This increase is primarily due to the Acquisition, investment in talent to support growth of the Company's businesses and initiatives, higher incentive compensation driven by year-over-year performance and enhanced sales compensation plans, and an increase in professional fees.

Operating income increased 141% during the second quarter of 2018 to $64.8 million, compared to the second quarter of 2017. This increase is primarily driven from higher total revenues and lower acquisition-related costs, partially offset by higher costs of services, depreciation and amortization, and SG&A expenses. Adjusted operating income7 (non-GAAP measure) increased 27% during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, which excludes the impact of non-recurring acquisition-related costs, and an impairment loss recognized on various technology assets in the second quarter of 2017. There were no adjusting items in the second quarter of 2018.

Net income attributable to stockholders increased $28.1 million, or 159%, in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. This improvement is primarily due to operating income growth, partially offset by higher income tax expense and interest expense. Adjusted net income attributed to stockholders8  (non-GAAP measure) increased 25% during the second quarter of 2018. 

Primarily for the same reasons noted above, diluted EPS attributable to stockholders improved 163% to $0.42 in the second quarter of 2018 compared to diluted EPS attributable to stockholders of $0.16 in the second quarter of 2017. Diluted adjusted EPS attributed to stockholders(non-GAAP measure) increased 27% during the second quarter of 2018.

Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure. The Company uses income statement and balance sheet performance scorecards to align its operations with its strategic priorities. The Company concentrates on a limited number of metrics to ensure focus and to facilitate quarterly performance discussions. The Company's income statement scorecard includes the performance metric, adjusted operating income. The Company believes that comparing adjusted operating income for different financial periods provides useful information about the growth or decline of operating income for the relevant financial period. The Company calculates adjusted operating income by eliminating from operating income the pre-tax effects of significant non-recurring items that it does not consider to be part of its normal operating results, such as acquisition-related costs, management reorganization costs, severance, retention, gains/losses on sale of certain property, plant and equipment, impairment losses, and certain other items, which the Company refers to as 'adjusting items'. Adjusted operating income is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Company's consolidated financial statements under "Non-GAAP Measures".

8

Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that comparing adjusted net income attributable to stockholders for different financial periods provides useful information about the growth or decline of its net income attributable to stockholders for the relevant financial period, and eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items. The Company does not consider to be part of its normal operating results. Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders represents net income attributable to stockholders excluding the effects of adjusting items and is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Company's consolidated financial statements under "Non-GAAP Measures".

Auctions & Marketplaces Segment Performance Highlights

GTV increased 14% to $1.4 billion in the second quarter compared to $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to the Acquisition, improved live and online auction performance, strong price performance and a higher-value equipment mix in both live and online auctions. The increase was partially offset by continuing equipment supply constraints, as well as the reduction in the number of live industrial on site auctions and sale days over the comparative period.

A&M total revenues increased 21% to $274.3 million in the second quarter compared to $226.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 led by incremental volume from the Acquisition, improved live and online auction performance, increased volume of inventory contracts, and the partial fee harmonization. A&M revenue rate for the second quarter was 19.2%; a 120-basis point increase over the same quarter last year.

A&M agency proceeds (non-GAAP measure) improved 25% to $192.5 million versus $154.6 million in the second quarter of 2017 driven by GTV and service revenues growth and higher fee revenues. The overall A&M agency proceeds rate (non-GAAP measure) improved 120 basis points to 13.5% from 12.3% in the second quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release makes reference to various non-GAAP measures.

The following table presents the Company's agency proceeds (non-GAAP measure) and agency proceeds adjusted operating income rate (non-GAAP measure) results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, as well as reconciles those metrics to total revenues and operating income margin, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, the Company's consolidated income statements:
