Changes in net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily the result of the following:

  • Total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 4.4% and 2.9% due to decreased commissions on bookings in the Company’s core modeling divisions;
  • Salaries and service costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 10.5% and 9.5% 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 53.4% and 52.9% primarily due to increased legal expense, rent expense, utilities, and other office related expenses.;
  • Amortization and depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 19.1% and 0.9%, primarily due to increased depreciation of capitalized furniture and leasehold assets at the Company’s new New York City office; and
  • Corporate overhead expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 10.8% and 2.9%, primarily due to increased corporate travel expenses and the timing of audit costs incurred earlier than the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Gross Billings, 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 Gross Billings, 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 Gross Billings as the gross amounts billed to customers on behalf of its models and talent for services performed. 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. There were no such non-recurring items during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 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.

Form 10-Q Filing

Additional information concerning the Company’s results of operations and financial position is included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2023.
