Liquidity Services, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Results

– Third quarter revenue of $121.3 million up 46% – Record Gross
Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $225.6 million up 52% – Record Adjusted
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
of $33.4 million up 121% – Record Adjusted EPS of $0.56

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jul. 31, 2012–
Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: LQDT; www.liquidityservicesinc.com)
today reported its financial results for its third quarter of fiscal
year 2012 (Q3-12) ended June 30, 2012. Liquidity Services, Inc. provides
business and government clients and buying customers transparent,
innovative and effective online marketplaces and integrated services for
surplus assets.

Liquidity Services, Inc. (Liquidity Services or the Company) reported
consolidated Q3-12 revenue of $121.3 million, an increase of
approximately 46% from the prior year’s comparable period. Adjusted
EBITDA, which excludes stock based compensation and acquisition costs,
for Q3-12 was a record $33.4 million, an increase of approximately 121%
from the prior year’s comparable period. Q3-12 GMV, the total sales
volume of all merchandise sold through the Company’s marketplaces, was a
record $225.6 million, an increase of approximately 52% from the prior
year’s comparable period.

Net income in Q3-12 was $14.9 million or $0.45 diluted earnings per
share. Adjusted net income, which excludes stock based compensation,
acquisition costs and amortization of contract-related intangible assets
associated with the Jacobs Trading acquisition – net of tax, in Q3-12
was a record $18.7 million or a record $0.56 diluted earnings per share
based on 33.2 million fully diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted net
income and adjusted diluted EPS for the prior year period (Q3-11) were
positively impacted by a onetime tax benefit, of $0.26 per diluted
share, as a result of closing our UK operations in the prior year.
Normalizing the prior year adjusted EPS for the tax benefit results in
115% year over year growth.

Liquidity Services has $1.1 million in the Acquisition Costs line item
of its Statement of Operations, for Q3-12, as a result of the GoIndustry
acquisition which closed in early July.

“Liquidity Services reported record results for GMV, Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EPS in Q3-12 all of which exceeded our guidance range. Record
GMV results were primarily driven by growth in the volume of goods sold
in our retail supply chain and commercial capital assets marketplaces by
existing and new clients. Our team did an excellent job handling the
increased volumes while maintaining a high level of service and quality
to our clients and buying customers. Our consistent execution has
enabled Liquidity Services to become the trusted provider of choice in
our industry with over 75 Fortune 500 corporations, over 4,700 federal,
state and local government agencies and 1.8 million registered buyers
utilizing our marketplaces. Our progress has generated strong financial
results for our shareholders, exemplified by our adjusted EBITDA of
$99.5 million over the last 12 months. By continuing to invest in
growing our e-commerce business we intend to capture a significant share
of large, highly fragmented markets, both in the commercial and public
sector, while having a positive impact on our clients’ financial and
environmental sustainability initiatives,” said Bill Angrick, Chairman
and CEO of Liquidity Services.

We are pleased to have closed our acquisition of GoIndustry (www.go-dove.com)
in early July and have commenced the integration of this
business. GoIndustry’s client base which includes over 50 leading
Fortune 1000 global manufacturers and asset based lenders across
multiple industries, including aerospace, consumer packaged goods,
electronics, pharmaceutical, technology and transportation, will benefit
significantly from our logistics, support and large buyer base for a
range of high value capital assets such as: material handling equipment,
rolling stock, heavy machinery and scrap metal. The acquisition of
GoIndustry enhances Liquidity Services’ ability to deliver surplus asset
management, valuation and disposition services to large multinational
enterprises across North America, Europe and Asia. These blue chip
corporate clients are already being integrated into our commercial
business demonstrating our strategic focus on further growing our
capital assets vertical and penetrating many existing clients with
additional services.

Business Outlook

While economic conditions have improved, our overall outlook remains
cautious due to the volatility in the macro environment and its
potential impact on the retail and industrial supply chains and GDP
growth. Additionally, we may fund major upgrades in our technology
infrastructure to support further integration of our existing businesses
and online marketplaces, including the integration of Truckcenter.com,
Jacobs Trading and GoIndustry, which are proceeding according to our
original plan. In the longer term, we expect our business to continue to
benefit from the following trends: (i) as consumers trade down and seek
greater value, we anticipate stronger buyer demand for the surplus
merchandise sold in our marketplaces, (ii) as corporations and public
sector agencies focus on reducing costs, improving transparency and
working capital flows by outsourcing reverse supply chain activities, we
expect our seller base to increase, and (iii) as corporations and public
sector agencies increasingly prefer service providers with a proven
track record, innovative technology solutions and demonstrated financial
strength, we expect our seller base to increase.

The following forward looking statements reflect trends and assumptions
for the next quarter:

      (i)       stable commodity prices in our scrap business;
(ii) stable average sales prices realized in our capital assets
marketplaces;
(iii) an effective income tax rate of 40%; and
(iv) improved operations and service levels in our retail goods
marketplaces.

Our results may also be materially affected by changes in business
trends and our operating environment, and by other factors, such as: (i)
investments in infrastructure and value-added services to support new
business in both commercial and public sector markets; and (ii) pricing
pressure from buyers in selected categories of our retail goods
marketplaces, which can result in lower than optimal margins.

Our Scrap Contract with the Department of Defense (DoD) includes an
incentive feature, which can increase the amount of profit sharing
distribution we receive from 23% up to 25%. Payments under this
incentive feature are based on the amount of scrap we sell for the DoD
to small businesses during the preceding 12 months as of June 30th
of each year. We are eligible to receive this incentive in each year of
the term of the Scrap Contract. We earned approximately $1,651,000 under
this incentive feature for the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, and we
recorded this amount in the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

GMV – We expect GMV for fiscal year 2012 to
range from $850 million to $860 million, which is an increase from our
previous guidance range of $760 million to $800 million, primarily as a
result of the GoIndustry acquisition and organic growth. We expect GMV
for Q4-12 to range from $230 million to $240 million.

Adjusted EBITDA – We expect Adjusted EBITDA
for fiscal year 2012 to range from $108 million to $110 million, which
is an increase from our previous guidance range of $96 million to $100
million. We expect Adjusted EBITDA for Q4-12 to range from $21.0 million
to $23.0 million.

Adjusted Diluted EPS – We estimate Adjusted
Earnings Per Diluted Share for fiscal year 2012 to range from $1.81 to
$1.84, which is an increase from our previous guidance range of $1.64 to
$1.70. In Q4-12, we estimate Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share to be
$0.35 to $0.38. This guidance assumes that we have an average fully
diluted number of shares outstanding for the year of 33.0 million, and
that we will not repurchase shares with the approximately $18.1 million
yet to be expended under the share repurchase program.

Our guidance adjusts EBITDA and Diluted EPS for (i) acquisition costs
including transaction costs and changes in earn out estimates; (ii)
amortization of contract intangible assets of $33.3 million from our
acquisition of Jacobs Trading; and (iii) for stock based compensation
costs, which we estimate to be approximately $2.3 million to $2.5
million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. These stock based
compensation costs are consistent with fiscal year 2011.

Key Q3-12 Operating Metrics

Registered Buyers — At the end of Q3-12,
registered buyers totaled approximately 1,764,000, representing a 13%
increase over the approximately 1,567,000 registered buyers at the end
of Q3-11.

Auction Participants — Auction
participants, defined as registered buyers who have bid in an auction
during the period (a registered buyer who bids in more than one auction
is counted as an auction participant in each auction in which he or she
bids), increased to approximately 537,000 in Q3-12, an approximately 20%
increase over the approximately 448,000 auction participants in Q3-11.

Completed Transactions — Completed
transactions increased to approximately 126,000, an approximately 10%
increase for Q3-12 from the approximately 115,000 completed transactions
in Q3-11.

GMV and Revenue Mix — GMV continues to
diversify due to the continued growth in our U.S. commercial business
and state and local government business (the GovDeals.com marketplace).
As a result, the percentage of GMV derived from our DoD Contracts during
Q3-12 decreased to 23.7% compared to 32.4% in the prior year period. The
table below summarizes GMV and revenue by pricing model. The purchase
model revenue mix has increased, as a result of the Jacobs Trading
acquisition.

Liquidity Services, Inc.
Reconciliation
of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA
is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to net income
(loss) plus interest expense (income) and other expense, net; provision
(benefit) for income taxes; amortization of contract intangibles; and
depreciation and amortization. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs
from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for stock based
compensation expense, and acquisition costs including changes in earn
out estimates and goodwill impairment. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2011 includes the operating losses generated
by our UK operations, which were closed down as of September 30, 2011.

intangible assets associated with the Jacobs Trading acquisition and
acquisition costs including changes in earn out estimates and goodwill
impairment. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share are determined
using Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted net income for the three and nine

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of certain
components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA),
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share.
These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall
understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the
future. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: (a) as measurements of
operating performance because they assist us in comparing our operating
performance on a consistent basis as they do not reflect the impact of
items not directly resulting from our core operations; (b) for planning
purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating
budget; (c) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance
of our business; (d) to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational
strategies; and (e) to evaluate our capacity to fund capital
expenditures and expand our business.

We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both
management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be
indicative of our core operating measures. In addition, because we have
historically reported certain non-GAAP measures to investors, we believe
the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in our financial
reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to financial
information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior
to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of all historical non-GAAP measures
included in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP
measures, may be found in the financial tables included in this press
release.

Supplemental Operating Data

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP, we use certain supplemental operating data as a
measure of certain components of operating performance. We review GMV
because it provides a measure of the volume of goods being sold in our
marketplaces and thus the activity of those marketplaces. GMV and our
other supplemental operating data, including registered buyers, auction
participants and completed transactions, also provide a means to
evaluate the effectiveness of investments that we have made and continue
to make in the areas of customer support, value-added services, product
development, sales and marketing and operations. Therefore, we believe
this supplemental operating data provides useful information to both
management and investors. In addition, because we have historically
reported certain supplemental operating data to investors, we believe
the inclusion of this supplemental operating data provides consistency
in our financial reporting. This data should be considered in addition
to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or
superior to, GAAP results.
