EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRK), a leading fully integrated precious metals platform, reported results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2023.
Management Commentary
“Fiscal year 2023 marked another year of strong financial and operational performance, underscoring the strength of our industry-leading fully integrated precious metals platform,” said A-Mark CEO Greg Roberts. “Our full year gross profit and net income before taxes grew 13% and 22% year-over-year, respectively, and we also generated a 29% return on equity for the year. Diluted earnings per share increased 16% compared with last fiscal year, and we also delivered record levels of EBITDA of $225 million. New customers in our Direct-to-Consumer segment increased 46%, highlighting the success of our strategic acquisitions.
“Our fourth quarter results contributed to a strong finish to the fiscal year with net income of $41.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.71. Our integrated capabilities and access to inventory provided us with a consistent source of supply to meet the elevated demand from the heightened market volatility experienced during the quarter.
“Reflecting on the full year, I am very proud of our many accomplishments and the execution of our growth strategy. During the year we added minority interests in UK-based Atkinsons Bullion & Coins and Texas Precious Metals to our investments portfolio and also closed the BGASC and BullionMax asset acquisitions, further expanding our Direct-to-Consumer customer base. We also bolstered our minting operations by investing in the expansion of our Silver Towne Mint facility, which now consistently produces over one million ounces of silver per week and achieved ISO 9000:2015 Certification during the year, reaffirming the company’s reputation as a leading manufacturer of quality bullion products. Additionally, we repurchased $9.8 million of our common stock creating additional value for our stockholders.
“Looking ahead to fiscal 2024, we continue to evaluate opportunities to further expand our geographic presence and market reach to create stockholder value. We also continue to invest in our minting and logistics operations to further increase capacity and enhance our fully integrated platform. We remain optimistic that our diversified and proven business model will allow us to sustain profitability and realize growth over the long term.”

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Summary
Revenues increased 51% to $3.16 billion from $2.09 billion in the same year-ago quarter due to increases in gold and silver ounces sold and higher average selling prices of gold and silver.
The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 19% and 23% of the consolidated revenue in the fiscal fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. JMB’s revenue represented 17% of the consolidated revenues for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2023 compared with 21% for the prior year fiscal fourth quarter.
Gross profit increased 16% to $78.6 million (2.49% of revenue) from $67.8 million (3.24% of revenue) in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in gross profit was due to higher gross profits earned from the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services Segment and Direct-to-Consumer segments. The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 60% and 57% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross profit contributed by JMB represented 49% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2023 and 46% of the consolidated gross profit for the prior year fiscal fourth quarter.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 10% to $22.8 million from $20.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $1.3 million, higher advertising costs of $1.1 million, higher information technology costs of $0.9 million, and higher consulting and professional fees of $0.4 million, partially offset by lower insurance costs of $2.1 million.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 15% to $2.7 million from $3.2 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a decrease in amortization of acquired intangibles related to JMB.
Interest income increased 7% to $6.1 million from $5.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher finance product income from our Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment partially offset by a decrease in interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment.
Interest expense increased 57% to $8.9 million from $5.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by a $2.4 million increase associated with our Trading Credit Facility (primarily due to an increase in interest rates) and Notes Payable (including amortization of debt issuance costs), and a $0.8 million increase related to product financing arrangements.
Earnings from equity method investments increased 105% to $5.3 million from $2.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase reflects our new investments made during the year as well as the higher percentage ownership in our existing equity method investments in comparison to the prior year.
Net income attributable to the Company totaled $41.8 million or $1.71 per diluted share, compared to net income of $37.3 million or $1.52 per diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.
Adjusted net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $59.1 million, compared to $50.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was principally due to higher net income before provision for income taxes of $9.2 million, partially offset by $0.6 million of lower amortization of acquired intangibles and $0.3 million of lower acquisition costs.
EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $61.8 million, compared to $50.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was principally due to an increase in income tax expense of $4.8 million, an increase in net income of $4.5 million, an increase in interest expense of $3.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of acquired intangibles of $0.6 million, and an increase in interest income of $0.4 million.
Full Year 2023 Financial Summary
Revenues increased 14% to $9.32 billion from $8.16 billion in the prior fiscal year. Excluding a $1.2 billion increase in forward sales, revenues increased by $2.6 million, driven primarily by an increase in silver ounces sold and higher average selling prices of gold, partially offset by a decrease in gold ounces sold and lower average selling prices of silver.
The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 21% and 26% of the consolidated revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. JMB's revenue represented 19% and 24% of the Company's consolidated revenue for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Gross profit increased 13% to $294.7 million (3.16% of revenue) in fiscal year 2023 from $261.8 million (3.21% of revenue) in the prior year. Excluding a $1.2 billion increase in forward sales which have a negligible impact to gross profit, the gross profit percentage increased to 4.27% from 3.79% in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit was due to higher gross profits earned from both the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services and Direct-to-Consumer segments. The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 57% and 56% of the consolidated gross profit in fiscal year 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross profit contributed by JMB represented 49% and 46% of the consolidated gross profit during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% to $85.3 million from $76.6 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $6.4 million, higher advertising costs of $3.5 million, an increase in information technology costs of $1.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in insurance costs of $1.7 million and lower consulting and professional fees of $2.0 million.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 54% to $12.5 million from $27.3 million in fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily due to $14.9 million of lower amortization of acquired intangibles related to JMB.
Interest income increased 2% to $22.2 million from $21.8 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to $1.8 million of higher other finance product income, partially offset by $1.4 million of lower interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment.
Interest expense increased 43% to $31.5 million from $22.0 million in fiscal year 2022. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by $7.2 million associated with the Company’s Trading Credit Facility (primarily due to an increase in interest rates) and Notes Payable (including amortization of debt issuance costs), $2.6 million related to product financing arrangements, and $0.6 million in interest associated with liabilities on borrowed metals, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million of loan servicing fees.
Earnings from equity method investments increased 82% to $12.6 million from $6.9 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase of $5.7 million was primarily due to the additional 40% ownership interest in Silver Gold Bull, Inc., which was acquired in June 2022, as well as earnings from other equity method investments.
Net income attributable to the Company totaled $156.4 million or $6.34 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to the Company of $132.5 million or $5.45 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year.
Adjusted net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 totaled $216.0 million, an increase of approximately $21.0 million or 11% compared to $195.0 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was principally due to higher net income before provision for income taxes of $36.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of acquired intangibles of $15.3 million.
EBITDA for fiscal year 2023 totaled $225.0 million, an increase of $31.1 million or 16% compared to $193.9 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was principally due to higher net income of $23.7 million, higher income tax expense of $13.1 million, and higher interest expense of $9.5 million, partially offset by lower amortization of acquired intangibles of $15.3 million.

About A-Mark Precious Metals
Founded in 1965, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. is a leading fully integrated precious metals platform that offers an array of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper bullion, numismatic coins, and related products to wholesale and retail customers via a portfolio of channels. The company conducts its operations through three complementary segments: Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services, Direct-to-Consumer, and Secured Lending. The company’s global customer base spans sovereign and private mints, manufacturers and fabricators, refiners, dealers, financial institutions, industrial users, investors, collectors, e-commerce customers, and other retail customers.
A-Mark’s Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment distributes and purchases precious metal products from sovereign and private mints. As a U.S. Mint-authorized purchaser of gold, silver, and platinum coins since 1986, A-Mark purchases bullion products directly from the U.S. Mint for sale to customers. A-Mark also has longstanding distributorships with other sovereign mints, including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Mexico, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The company sells more than 200 different products to e-commerce retailers, coin and bullion dealers, financial institutions, brokerages, and collectors. In addition, A-Mark sells precious metal products to industrial users, including metal refiners, manufacturers, and electronic fabricators.
Through its A-M Global Logistics subsidiary, A-Mark provides its customers with a range of complementary services, including managed storage options for precious metals as well as receiving, handling, inventorying, processing, packaging, and shipping of precious metals and coins on a secure basis. A-Mark’s mint operations, which are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary Silver Towne Mint, enable the company to offer customers a wide range of proprietary coin and bar offerings and, during periods of market volatility when the availability of silver bullion from sovereign mints is often product constrained, preferred product access.
A-Mark’s Direct-to-Consumer segment operates as an omni-channel retailer of precious metals, providing access to a multitude of products through its wholly owned subsidiaries, JM Bullion and Goldline. JM Bullion is a leading e-commerce retailer of precious metals and operates seven separately branded, company-owned websites targeting specific niches within the precious metals market: JMBullion.com, ProvidentMetals.com, Silver.com, GoldPrice.org, SilverPrice.org, BGASC.com and BullionMax.com. JMB also owns CyberMetals.com, an online platform where customers can purchase and sell fractional shares of digital gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bars in a range of denominations. Goldline markets precious metals directly to the investor community through various channels, including television, radio, and telephonic sales efforts. A-Mark also holds minority ownership interests in four additional direct-to-consumer brands.
The company operates its Secured Lending segment through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Collateral Finance Corporation (CFC) and AM Capital Funding. Founded in 2005, CFC is a California licensed finance lender that originates and acquires loans secured by bullion and numismatic coins. Its customers include coin and precious metal dealers, investors, and collectors. AM Capital Funding was formed in 2018 for the purpose of securitizing eligible secured loans of CFC.
A-Mark is headquartered in El Segundo, CA and has additional offices and facilities in the neighboring Los Angeles area as well as in Dallas, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Winchester, IN, and Vienna, Austria. For more information, visit www.amark.com.
A-Mark periodically provides information for investors on its corporate website, www.amark.com, and its investor relations website, ir.amark.com. This includes press releases and other information about financial performance, reports filed or furnished with the SEC, information on corporate governance, and investor presentations.
Important Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release that relate to future plans, objectives, expectations, performance, events and the like are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements regarding expectations with respect to the dividend declarations, the amount or timing of any future dividends, future macroeconomic conditions and demand for precious metal products, and the Company’s ability to effectively respond to changing economic conditions. Future events, risks and uncertainties, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results or circumstances to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the following: the failure to execute the Company’s growth strategy, including the inability to identify suitable or available acquisition or investment opportunities; greater than anticipated costs incurred to execute this strategy; changes in the current international political climate, which has favorably contributed to demand and volatility in the precious metals markets; potential adverse effects of the current problems in the national and global supply chains; increased competition for the Company’s higher margin services, which could depress pricing; the failure of the Company’s business model to respond to changes in the market environment as anticipated; changes in consumer demand and preferences for precious metal products generally; potential negative effects that inflationary pressure may have on our business; the inability of the Company to expand capacity at Silver Towne Mint, the failure of our investee companies to maintain, or address the preferences of, their customer bases; general risks of doing business in the commodity markets; and the strategic, business, economic, financial, political and governmental risks and other Risk Factors described in in the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to presenting the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management believes the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance: “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” and “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“EBITDA”). Management believes the “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” non-GAAP financial performance measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of period-to-period operational performance on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. The items excluded from this financial measure may have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Management believes the EBITDA non-GAAP liquidity measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of our business operations before investing activities, interest, and income taxes with other publicly traded companies. Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized definitions and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. Management encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial or liquidity measure.
In the Company’s reconciliation from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for income taxes” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes”, the Company eliminates the impact of the following three amounts: (i) acquisition expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired; and (iii) depreciation expense. The Company’s reconciliations from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for income taxes” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes”, and “net income” and “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” to its non-GAAP “EBITDA” are provided below and are also included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
