CORELOGIC, INC. IRVINE, Calif., July 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreLogic (NYSE: CLGX), a leading global provider of property information, insight, analytics and data-enabled solutions, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
"CoreLogic delivered an outstanding second quarter and first half operating performance. Revenues and profits grew at double-digit rates and we executed extremely well against our major operating imperatives including the VSG launch. We believe the VSG affords us with a unique value catalyst and an opportunity for strategic growth and leadership in a highly fragmented and challenged market space," said Anand Nallathambi, President and Chief Executive Officer of CoreLogic. "We are entering the balance of 2016 with a clear pathway to accelerated growth as we deploy our unique data-driven solutions that, collectively, enable our current and future clients in the real estate ecosystem to more precisely underwrite and manage their risks and capitalize on opportunities as they arise."
"Our strong first-half financial and operating performance and higher projected second-half unit volumes of U.S. originations allow us to raise our full year 2016 financial guidance ranges and lift our full year share repurchase target to 3 million shares," added Frank Martell, Chief Operating Officer of CoreLogic. "Our relentless focus on profitable growth, operating scale and cost efficiency over the past 5 years has resulted in a durable business model that allows us to continue to invest in our products and solutions, technology leadership and operational improvements and, at the same time, aggressively return capital to our shareholders and effectively manage our debt balances."
Second Quarter Financial Highlights
Second quarter revenues totaled $500 million compared with $386 million in the same 2015 period and $454 million in the first quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase of 30% was driven primarily by VSG-related acquisitions, insurance and spatial solutions growth and higher risk management and underwriting solutions revenues which were offset partially by the impacts of reduced project-related revenues, the wind down of certain non-core product lines and unfavorable currency translation. Property Intelligence (PI) segment revenues rose 72% to $277 million driven principally by the VSG as well as growth in insurance and spatial solutions and international operations. RMW revenues totaled $226 million, largely in line with 2015 levels, as modestly higher U.S. mortgage volumes and the benefits of market share and pricing gains in tax, flood zone determination and credit services were offset by lower project related and tenant screening revenues and the ongoing wind down of certain non-core product lines.
Operating income from continuing operations totaled $76 million for the second quarter compared with $61 million for the same prior year period and $57 million for the first quarter of 2016. The 24% year-over-year increase in operating income was principally attributable to revenue gains and cost productivity benefits which more than offset VSG-related transaction and integration expenses, increased investments in cyber-security and compliance as well as severance and real estate consolidation costs which collectively totaled $15 million. Second quarter operating income margin was 15%, down approximately 63 basis points from the second quarter of 2015 reflecting the impact of the business mix associated with the launch of the VSG as well as transaction and integration costs, severance, real estate consolidation costs and investments in cyber-security and compliance mentioned previously.
Second quarter net income from continuing operations totaled $40 million compared with $33 million in the same 2015 period and $28 million for the first quarter of 2016. During the quarter, the operating upsides discussed previously were partially offset by higher tax provisions, VSG-related transaction and integration expenses as well as investments in cyber-security, compliance and cost reduction programs. Diluted EPS from continuing operations totaled $0.45 for the second quarter of 2016, up from $0.36 in the prior year reflecting the positive impacts of growth, cost reduction programs and share repurchases, which more than offset higher taxes as well as transaction, integration and severance costs and higher investments in cyber-security and compliance mentioned previously. Adjusted diluted EPS totaled $0.65, up 18% year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $136 million in the second quarter compared with $118 million in the same prior year period and $106 million for the first quarter of 2016. The 15% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA was principally the result of revenue growth and benefits from expense management which were partially offset by VSG-related integration expenses, severance, real estate consolidation and investments in cyber-security and compliance which aggregated approximately $10 million. PI segment adjusted EBITDA totaled $71 million compared with $53 million in 2015 reflecting higher revenues and cost reduction program benefits which more than offset costs associated with the VSG launch and other programs mentioned above. RMW adjusted EBITDA was $74 million, consistent with 2015 levels as the benefits of market volumes, pricing and market share gains in tax, credit and flood zone determination services were offset by lower project-related and tenant screening revenues as well as impact of the wind down of non-core product lines.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On April 20, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of FNC for $400 million in cash consideration, subject to certain closing adjustments, using a combination of cash on hand and available capacity on its revolving credit facility. Upon the completion of the acquisition of FNC, the Company's outstanding debt totaled $1,738 million. Subsequent to the closing of the FNC transaction and prior to the end of the second quarter, the Company made voluntary and scheduled term loan and revolver principal payments of approximately $86 million. The Company also repurchased 800,000 of its common shares for $29 million.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and equivalents of $72 million compared with $99 million at December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had available capacity on its revolving credit facility of $160 million. Total debt as of June 30, 2016 was $1,653 million compared with $1,364 million as of December 31, 2015.
Net operating cash provided by continuing operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was $376 million. Free cash flow (FCF - defined as net cash provided by continuing operating activities less capital expenditures for purchases of property and equipment, capitalized data and other intangible assets) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $290 million, which represented 65% of adjusted EBITDA.
On July 18, 2016, the Company amended and increased its senior secured credit facility by $525 million. Upon closing, the Company's amended senior secured credit facility consisted of $1,333 million of outstanding term loans and a $550 million revolving credit facility. The Company utilized approximately $411 million of the $525 million proceeds to redeem all of its outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes due 2021 (103.625% of the principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest and transaction-related fees). The Company utilized $110 million of the proceeds to reduce its outstanding revolving credit facility to approximately $280 million.

Risks and uncertainties exist that may cause the results to differ materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the anticipated results to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended or updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Use of Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures which the Company believes are useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding the Company's financial condition and results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or a substitute for U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in this press release. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA or projected adjusted earnings per share, where provided, to expected results due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of special charges or gains.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock compensation, non-operating gains/losses and other adjustments plus pretax equity in earnings of affiliates. Adjusted net income is defined as income from continuing operations before equity earnings of affiliates, adjusted for non-cash stock compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, non-operating gains/losses, and other adjustments plus pretax equity in earnings of affiliates, tax affected at an assumed effective tax rate of 36% for 2016 and 35% for 2015. Adjusted EPS is derived by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average shares. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by continuing operating activities less capital expenditures for purchases of property and equipment, capitalized data and other intangible assets. Other firms may calculate non-GAAP measures differently than CoreLogic, which limits comparability between companies.
