Second Fiscal Quarter Financial Highlights (Quarter Ended December 31, 2019)

• Revenues reported at $201.9 million for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to record revenues of $260.9 million for the comparable prior year period, which included approximately $29.9 million in non-recurring project revenues related to disaster relief efforts.

• Net revenues reported at $56.0 million for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to record net revenues of $64.0 million for the comparable prior year period, which included approximately $3.6 million in non-recurring net revenues related to disaster relief efforts. Excluding this non-recurring project work in the year ago period, net revenues would have been down $4.4 million or 7.3%. On a sequential basis, net revenues were up $0.5 million or 0.9%.
• Net income attributable to common stockholders reported at $2.6 million, or $0.05 per basic and fully diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.8 million, or $0.08 per basic and $0.07 per fully diluted share for the comparable prior year period. On a sequential basis, net income attributable to common shareholders was down $0.6 million or 18.8%.
• Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, reported at $6.3 million, or $0.13 per basic and $0.12 per fully diluted share for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $8.2 million, or $0.16 per basic and fully diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders is calculated by applying a normalized tax rate of 24.5% and excluding other items not considered part of regular operating activities.

• Adjusted EBITDA reported at $9.4 million for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million for the comparable prior year period, which included approximately $1.6 million in incremental adjusted EBITDA related to the non-recurring disaster relief efforts.

Acquisition Update

Earlier today, the Company announced that it had purchased the assets and operations of two of its Adcom agency locations acquiring Alexandria, Virginia based Friedway Enterprises, Inc. ("Friedway") and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based CIC2, Inc. ("CIC2") through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Radiant Global Logistics, Inc. Friedway and CIC2 are expected to transition to the Radiant brand and will continue to provide a full range of domestic and international services from the mid-Atlantic region.

Stock Buy-back

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company spent $1.0 million repurchasing 189,558 shares of its common stock at an average price of $5.28 per share. On February 4, 2020, the Company announced the renewal of its stock buy-back program authorizing the repurchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2021. As of February 3, 2020, the Company had 49,676,263 shares outstanding.

CEO Comments

"We are very pleased to report another quarter of solid financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2019 in what was generally recognized as a tough economic environment," said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO. "We posted Adjusted EBITDA of $9.4 million on revenues of $201.9 million, and net revenues of $56.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. As we had anticipated, our results were relatively flat on a sequential basis as we did not see the traditional peak season trade flows that we would generally expect for the calendar fourth quarter of the year. On a sequential quarterly comparison, revenues of $201.9 million were up $1.4 million or 0.7%; net revenues of $56.0 million were up $0.5 million or 0.9%; and adjusted EBITDA of $9.4 million was down $0.3 million or 3.2%, over the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

A number of factors contributed to difficult comparisons to our record results in the year ago period, including (1) the non-recurring disaster relief project work reported in the year ago period, (2) our decision to exit certain lower margin business earlier in calendar 2019, and (3) general market softness associated with slower global trade and margin pressures on our brokerage operations associated with excess truck capacity that exists in the marketplace. Notwithstanding these market headwinds, we saw our net revenue margins improve 320 basis points over the comparable prior year period, which helped us to deliver the $9.4 million in adjusted EBITDA and over $6.2 million in cash from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2019."

Crain continued: "In addition, this last quarter we also took the opportunity to begin buying in our stock, and for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, we spent $1.0 million repurchasing 189,558 shares of our common stock at an average price of $5.28 per share. As we have previously discussed, we believe the current share price does not accurately reflect Radiant's long-term growth prospects and in that regard recently announced the renewal of our stock buy-back program authorizing the repurchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock through December 31, 2021.

We also made some very recent progress on the acquisition front and earlier today announced the purchase of two of our Adcom agency locations acquiring Alexandria, Virginia based Friedway Enterprises, Inc. and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based CIC2, Inc., both owned by our long-term operating partner Bonnie Knoedler. Supporting our operating partners in the transition to a company owned model remains a significant opportunity inherent in the Radiant Network.

Looking forward, we remain committed to our long-standing strategy to deliver profitable growth through a combination of organic and acquisition growth initiatives. We will continue to make investments in our technology platform and incremental sales resources to drive organic growth.  At the same time, we continue to enjoy low leverage on our balance sheet, strong free cashflow and continue our disciplined search for additional acquisition opportunities, which we believe, over time, will deliver meaningful value for our shareholders, our operating partners and the end customers that we serve. As we continue along this path, our stock buy-back program will remain an integral part of how we think about capital allocation, acquisition multiples and the use of our free cashflow."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
RADIANT LOGISTICS, INC.

Reconciliation of Total Revenues to Net Revenues, Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stock, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

(unaudited)

As used in this report, Net Revenues, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Net Revenues, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are presented herein because they are important metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the performance of the ongoing operations of Radiant's business. For Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, management uses a 24.5% tax rate to calculate the provision for income taxes before preferred dividend requirement to normalize Radiant's tax rate to that of its competitors and to compare Radiant's reporting periods with different effective tax rates. In addition, in arriving at Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, the Company adjusts for certain non-cash charges and significant items that are not part of regular operating activities. These adjustments include income taxes, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, transition costs, lease termination costs, acquisition related costs, litigation costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, and issuance costs for preferred stock redemption.

We commonly refer to the term "net revenues" when commenting about our Company and the results of operations. Net revenues are a Non-GAAP measure calculated as revenues less directly related operations and expenses attributed to the Company's services. We believe net revenues are a better measurement than are total revenues when analyzing and discussing the effectiveness of our business and is used as a portion of a key metric the Company uses to discuss its progress.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of preferred stock dividends, redemption of preferred stock, interest and taxes, and excludes the "non-cash" effects of depreciation and amortization on long-term assets. Companies have some discretion as to which elements of depreciation and amortization are excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We exclude all depreciation charges related to technology and equipment, and all amortization charges (including amortization of leasehold improvements). We then further adjust EBITDA to exclude changes in fair value of contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, transition and lease termination costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, extraordinary items, share-based compensation expense, litigation expenses unrelated to our core operations, MM&D start-up costs and other non-cash charges. While management considers EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, represent a useful method of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as they reflect our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges and other non-recurring charges. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the GAAP financial information by providing additional insight regarding results of operations to allow a comparison to other companies, many of whom use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures will not be defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other companies. Net Revenues, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any of the consolidated statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as an indication of Radiant's operating performance or liquidity.
