CEO Comments

"We are pleased to report record results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and broad-based improvement in our financial performance," said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO. "We posted record revenues of $233.8 million, up $32.0 million or 15.9%; record net revenues of $59.3 million, up $9.5 million or 19.0%; record net income allocable to common stockholders of $4.3 million, up $5.3 million; record adjusted net income allocable to common shareholders of $5.7 million, up $1.9 million or 50.0%; and Adjusted EBITDA of $9.9 million, up $3.0 million or 43.5% over the comparable prior year period. In addition, we also set a new record in terms of our Adjusted EBITDA margins, up 280 basis points to 16.7%, from 13.9% for the comparable prior year period."

"While we continued to see anticipated margin pressure with our underlying asset-based carrier partners during the quarter, we also saw the benefit of our focused effort on organic growth, delivering double-digit revenue growth across all categories of our business, with forwarding revenues up $23.7 million, or 16.0%, brokerage revenues up $7.1 million, or 14.0%, and value-added services revenues up $1.3 million and 44.6%. This ultimately translated to an incremental $9.5 million in net revenues over the comparable prior year period. As we have previously discussed, we remain most interested in growing our gross margin dollars and getting more of those dollars to the bottom line as we scale the business. In this regard, we were quite pleased to not only see the growth in our gross margin dollars, but also see the leverage in our back-office operations as reflected in our expanding EBITDA margins."

"On the technology front we also continue to make meaningful progress on a number of  strategic technology initiatives,  including (1) the continued expansion of our new SAP-based transportation management system ("SAP-TM") that is now deployed in 7 of our company owned locations and on track for deployment to our strategic operating partners later this year, (2)  the recent launch of our new customer portal which provides our customers with on-line booking and event based tracking through direct integration with SAP-TM with future phases of functionality that will include additional collaboration, quoting, and a user operated reporting engine, (3) the completion of our blue-printing efforts to operationalize international air and ocean functionality within our new SAP-TM platform, (4) the successful deployment of our new back-office digitization technology to provide  optical character recognition and process automation solution to streamline our procure-to-pay processes with our carriers provides and (5) further progress on migrating our SAP production environment to Amazon's cloud computing platform which is also on track to occur later this year which will give us cost effective access to the computing power, database storage and other functionality to help us scale and grow our business."

Crain Continued: "As we head into the new year, we remain committed to our long-standing strategy to deliver profitable growth through a combination of organic and acquisition growth initiatives. We have low leverage on our balance sheet, strong free cash flow, and continue our disciplined search for acquisition candidates that bring critical mass to our current platform with respect to geography, purchasing power, and complementary service offerings. We believe we remain well positioned to continue to benefit from a favorable market environment given the healthy economy and look forward to continuing to build on the success of this most recent quarter."

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Allocable to Common Stockholders
to Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
(unaudited)

As used in this report, Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA 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, management uses a 31% tax rate for calculating 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, the Company adjusts for certain non-cash charges and significant items that are not part of regular operating activities. These adjustments include depreciation and amortization, income taxes, change in contingent consideration, amortization of loan fees, write-off of loan fees, impairment of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related costs, transition costs, lease termination costs, litigation costs and non-recurring costs.

Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before preferred stock dividends, interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which is then further adjusted for changes in contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, lease termination costs, extraordinary items, share-based compensation expense, litigation costs, non-recurring costs, material management and distribution ("MM&D") start-up costs, write off of loan fees, impairment of acquired intangible assets and foreign exchange losses or gains.

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. Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA 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.
