DALLAS, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wilhelmina International, Inc. (Nasdaq:WHLM) ("Wilhelmina" or the "Company") today reported revenues of $16.3 million and net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to revenues of $15.1 million and net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Wilhelmina reported revenues of $50.5 million and net income of $3.5 million compared to revenue of $41.6 million and net income of $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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cities where Wilhelmina operates reopened and business activity increased as COVID-19 restrictions were moderated or rescinded. In 2022, net income was significantly impacted by the release of a $1.5 million valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets. In 2021, net income was significantly impacted by gain on forgiveness of PPP loans and employee retention payroll tax credits.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Wilhelmina maintained a full $1.5 million valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. In connection with its assessment for the third quarter of 2022, management determined that there was sufficient evidence to conclude that it was more likely than not that all deferred tax assets were realizable. This evidence included three years of cumulative pretax income, excluding nonrecurring items. Consequently, the full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was released as of September 30, 2022, resulting in a $1.5 million income tax benefit. The Company will continue to assess the evidence used to determine the need for a valuation allowance and may reinstate the valuation allowance in future periods if warranted by changes in estimated future income and other factors.
Financial Results
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.9 million, or $0.37 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3.5 million, or $0.69 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $4.5 million, or $0.87 per fully diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Pre-Corporate EBITDA was $1.0 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to Pre-Corporate EBITDA of $1.5 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

**Non-GAAP measures referenced are detailed in the disclosures at the end of this release.Changes in net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, were primarily the result of the following:
- Revenues net of model costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 1.6% and 15.9% primarily due to increased bookings as the cities where Wilhelmina operates reopened and business activity increased as COVID-19 vaccination rates rose;
- Salaries and service costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 22.8% and 31.3% primarily due to personnel hires and payroll changes to better align Wilhelmina staffing with the needs of each office and geographical region;
- Office and general expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 6.7% primarily due to increased marketing expense, legal expense, insurance, and bad debt expense. Office and general expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by 5.2% primarily due to reduced rent expense, other office related expenses, and computer expenses, partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense and legal expense in 2022;
- Income tax net benefit of $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily the result of the release of a $1.5 million valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets;
- Amortization and depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by 81.8% and 80.0%, primarily due to reduced depreciation of assets that became fully amortized in 2021;
- Non-recurring items included $2.0 million of gain on forgiveness of PPP loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $0.5 million and $1.3 million of employee retention credit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021; and
- Corporate overhead expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 23.5% and 12.4%, primarily due to increased securities compliance costs.

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 PPP loans 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.
