Net Revenue of $277.5 Million for the Third Quarter 2015 and $760.3 Million for the 9 Months Ended September 30, 2015

Adjusted EBITDA of $24.7 Million From Our Primary Operating Subsidiaries

NEW YORK, Nov. 02, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2”) (NYSE MKT:HCHC), a diversified holding company that focuses on acquiring, investing in and operating businesses that it considers to be under or fairly valued and growing its acquired businesses, today announced its consolidated results for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, which ended on September 30, 2015.

“We are very pleased with our third quarter execution, especially the continued strength of Schuff and Global Marine, two of HC2's key operating companies,” said Philip Falcone, HC2’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are encouraged by the 16% increase in Schuff’s backlog of projects during the quarter and the company's ongoing execution of building a solid revenue pipeline. In Marine Services, our outlook remains positive as Global Marine, a company that has been in business for more than 120 years, continues to perform as expected as their maintenance sector remains robust and continues to underpin results. We are also very excited about the progress at our Telecommunications segment which is now Adjusted EBITDA positive as a result of the past year’s restructuring of the PTGi ICS business. Looking forward, we will continue to pursue highly attractive, cash flow positive businesses and will remain committed to building long-term value in these businesses, which we believe will offer a significant value added proposition to our shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights:

Net revenue: HC2 recorded consolidated total net revenues of $277.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $98.0 million, or 54.6%, as compared to the third quarter of 2014 as reported and up $53.5 million, or 23.9%, from the third quarter of 2014 on a pro-forma basis. Net revenue for the third quarter of 2015 decreased $3.5 million, or 1%, when compared to the seasonally high second quarter of $281.0 million, primarily driven by decreases in our Manufacturing segment due to a reduction in industrial projects in the Gulf Coast region and our Marine Services segment due to lower installation projects during the quarter. The decrease was largely offset by continued improvement in our Telecom segment due to continued expansion into emerging markets.

HC2 recorded consolidated total net revenue of $760.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $440.9 million, or 138%, as compared to the same period last year as reported and an increase of $130.2 million, or 20.7%, for the same period of 2014 on a pro-forma basis.

Operating Income: Income from operations for the third quarter was $2.4 million compared to $3.3 million during the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in operating profit was largely the result of an increase in acquisition costs as we look to close the insurance transaction in the fourth quarter along with lease termination costs in our Telecom segment as they continue to consolidate operations to low cost countries offset in part by cost savings in our Pacific region and favorable mix in higher margin projects in our Manufacturing segment.

Adjusted EBITDA: HC2 reported total Adjusted EBITDA of $14.1 million and $39.4 million for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2015, respectively, up from $8.4 million and $9.0 million from the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as reported.

Adjusted EBITDA for HC2’s primary operating subsidiaries, Schuff and Global Marine, was a combined $24.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 and $69.8 million for the first nine months of the year. Schuff continued to grow its Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter to $14.4 million as the company continued to profit from improved margins in the Pacific division. In the Telecommunications segment, PTGi ICS enjoyed positive Adjusted EBITDA for the second consecutive quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA growth during the first nine months of the year was largely the result of our ability to subcontract work at lower costs in our Manufacturing segment along with an increased level of installation work in our Marine Services segment. This was offset, in part by, early stage investments and increases in deal related diligence expenses in Corporate and Other segments.

Balance sheet: As of September 30, 2015, HC2 had consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $84.7 million.

Additional Third Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments:

HC2 has received $16.2 million in total dividends year-to-date from its primary subsidiaries, including $8.2 million from Schuff and $8.0 million from Global Marine.
Schuff’s backlog was $381.6 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $329.3 million as of June 30, 2015. We expect to continue to add backlog during the fourth quarter. Notable ongoing projects include the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles, the Sacramento Kings Arena, and the new Apple headquarters in Cupertino, CA.
Global Marine completed a major fiber optic project in the Gulf of Guinea and had its first installation of the R2 repeater following successful sea trials. In addition, Huawei Marine, a Global Marine joint venture company, announced it will construct the Cameroon-Brazil Cable System, connecting Africa to Latin America.
HC2’s acquisition of long-term care and life insurance businesses, United Teacher Associates Insurance Company and Continental General Insurance Company, is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2015, subject to receipt of required governmental approvals.
American Natural Gas (“ANG”) completed a new compressed natural gas (“CNG”) facility at the Tops Friendly Markets distribution center in Lancaster, New York. ANG is also building CNG stations near Rochester, New York and in Georgetown, Kentucky where Bestway Express, a truckload carrier, will be the anchor tenant.
Pansend Life Sciences, LLC has entered into an agreement to provide $22.4 million in staged financing with MediBeacon, Inc., maker of a proprietary noninvasive real-time monitoring system for kidney function.
On October 9, 2015, HC2 announced that one of its shareholders, HGI Funding, LLC (“HGI”), a subsidiary of HRG Group, Inc., entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement for the sale of 4,678,395 shares of common stock at $7.50 per share. HC2 did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale. The purchasers included Philip Falcone, HC2’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, who purchased 540,000 shares and Paul Voigt, HC2’s Senior Managing Director, who purchased 100,000 shares.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information

Pro forma net revenue gives effect to revenues from our 2014 acquisitions of Schuff and Global Marine as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014.

Management believes that presenting pro forma net revenue is important to understanding HC2’s financial performance, providing better analysis of trends in our underlying businesses as it allows for comparability to prior period results.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for gain (loss) on sale or disposal of assets; lease termination costs; interest expense; amortization of debt discount; other income (expense), net; foreign currency transaction gain (loss); income tax (benefit) expense; loss from discontinued operations; noncontrolling interest; share-based compensation expense; acquisition related costs, other costs and depreciation and amortization expense.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is significant to gaining an understanding of HC2’s results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-US GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace HC2’s US GAAP financial results.
