Onex Reports Full-Year 2011 Results


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 23, 2012) - Onex Corporation ("Onex") (TSX:OCX) today announced its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011 and an update on matters following year-end.

Highlights

  • Onex completed the sales of Husky International and Emergency Medical Services, generating total proceeds of $2.7 billion and multiples of 2.9 times and 7.8 times invested capital, respectively. Onex' portion of the net cash proceeds from these two transactions was approximately $943 million, including $55 million of carried interest.

  • Onex Partners and ONCAP completed five acquisitions during the year for a total investment of $1.2 billion, of which Onex' share was $421 million. This included Onex Partners' $871 million investment in JELD-WEN.

  • ONCAP completed the fundraising for ONCAP III, with capital commitments of C$800 million, including C$520 million from Limited Partners.

  • Onex increased its percentage commitment to Onex Partners III to approximately 25% from 18% of the Fund's capital.

  • Onex Partners' and ONCAP's private companies provided Onex with returns of 15% and 12%, respectively, in 2011.

  • Onex' proprietary capital per share grew by 8% during the year to $36.85.

  • At December 31, Onex' portion of the unrealized carried interest was $96 million based on the public companies held at market value and on the year-end fair values of the private companies in the Onex Partners Funds.

  • During the year, Onex repurchased 3,165,296 shares for approximately C$105 million at an average cost per share of C$33.27.

  • At December 31, Onex had no debt at the parent company and approximately $1.3 billion of cash and near-cash investments.


Onex is an investor and asset manager generating value from (i) growth in the Company's $4.5 billion of proprietary capital; (ii) management fees associated with $8.0 billion of third-party assets under management, and (iii) a carried interest based on the performance of third-party invested capital.

Building Our Businesses

"While global economic uncertainty persisted in 2011, overall demand for our industrial companies' products increased during the year," said Gerald W. Schwartz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Onex. "Most of our companies grew earnings and generated strong cash flow, allowing some to reduce debt levels and pay distributions."

During 2011, our operating companies paid distributions totaling $470 million, of which Onex' share was $157 million. Our businesses also paid down approximately $1.3 billion of debt, and stronger capital markets in the first half of the year enabled them to raise or refinance a total of approximately $3.4 billion of debt.

Based on the year-end valuations reported to our Limited Partners, the Onex Partners' and ONCAP private investments provided Onex with returns of 15% and 12%, respectively, during 2011. Overall, Onex' proprietary capital per share increased by 8% year-over-year, with strong performance of our invested capital somewhat offset by the limited return on the Company's considerable cash balance.

We regularly review alternatives to capture the value increases in our businesses. In early 2011, when credit markets were strong and the IPO markets were open, Onex and its partners realized approximately $3.5 billion primarily through the sales of Husky International and Emergency Medical Services. When the markets are once again receptive to initial public offerings and appro­priately valuing high-quality companies, additional offerings will be considered. Fortunately, we can be patient given the strength of our operating companies' balance sheets. We are more than happy to continue owning businesses with attractive cash-on-cash returns.

"Despite the challenging acquisition market in 2011, we completed an $871 million investment in JELD-WEN, one of the world's largest residential door and window manufacturers, and acquired four mid-market businesses," said Mr. Schwartz. "Over the last several months, we have seen a slight increase in merger and acquisition activity, which has translated into a somewhat improved investment pipeline."

Although it is difficult to predict investment pace, Onex is well-positioned to respond to attractive investment opportunities. The parent company continues to be in excellent financial condition, with approximately $1.3 billion in cash and near-cash investments at the end of January, no debt and approximately $2.5 billion of uncalled committed capital for acquisitions through Onex Partners III and ONCAP III.

In light of its considerable cash position, Onex increased its percentage commitment to Onex Partners III to approximately 25% from 18%. The increased commitment was announced in November and will apply to new Onex Partners III investments completed after May 14, 2012.

In addition to investing its capital, Onex uses its cash to repurchase shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid when the shares are trading at prices that reflect a discount to Onex' view of value. Onex believes that this provides good value to its remaining shareholders. In 2011, Onex repurchased 3,165,296 shares for approximately C$105 million at an average price of C$33.27 per share.

Since inception, Onex has established a strong culture that is based on long-held investing principles. The Company believes that long-term value is best created by enhancing the productivity and profitability of its businesses. By transforming under-valued businesses into industry leaders, Onex has generated a 27-year gross IRR of 29% and an average multiple of 3.3 times invested capital from realized, substantially realized and publicly traded investments in its private equity investing.

Onex also believes that its success is furthered through strong alignment of interests between Onex shareholders, its limited partners and the management team. At December 31, 2011, Onex' management team had approximately $1.3 billion invested in Onex shares and in its operating companies.

Asset Management

The management of third-party capital provides Onex with a predictable stream of annual management fees that substantially offsets ongoing operating expenses. Today, Onex earns recurring asset management fees and/or carried interest on $8.0 billion of third-party capital. In 2011, Onex Partners, ONCAP and Onex Credit Partners generated $110 million in management fees. In addition, Onex received $65 million in carried interest as a result of the realizations of EMSC, Husky International, Spirit AeroSystems and TMS International. This amount was net of a voluntary reduction of $35 million reflecting a review of the relevant Funds' other operating companies and a desire to avoid the possibility of a future claw-back of carry paid.

At December 31, 2011, Onex had approximately $13 million of unrealized carried interest on Onex Partners' public companies and a further $83 million based on the year-end valuations of the private businesses. The actual amount of carried interest realized by Onex depends on the ultimate performance of each Fund.

In September, Onex announced the successful closing of ONCAP III, its third mid-market private equity Fund, with capital commitments of C$800 million, of which C$520 million was committed by both long-standing partners and new investors. Onex continues to be ONCAP's largest investor.

Consolidated Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results

Onex' quarterly and full-year consolidated financial results do not follow any specific trends due to acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, changes in the value of our publicly traded and privately held operating companies and varying business cycles at its operating companies.

Effective January 1, 2011, Onex' financial statements are being prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and are reported in U.S. dollars. Please see the 2011 Management's Discussion and Analysis and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a review of the significant accounting policies under IFRS that impact Onex' financial statements.

On a consolidated basis for the fourth quarter, revenues increased 25% to $6.8 billion compared to the same period of the prior year. Onex reported a consolidated net loss of $112 million compared to a loss of $4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Cash from operations was $707 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $872 million in 2010.

On a consolidated basis for the full year ended December 31, 2011, revenues increased 25% to $24.6 billion. Net earnings for the period were $1.6 billion compared to $197 million for 2010. Net earnings for 2011 included $1.7 billion from discontinued operations relating to the profit on the sales of Husky International and EMSC. In the full year ended December 31, 2011, cash flow from operations was $1.2 billion compared to $1.5 billion for the same period of the prior year.

The Company paid a fourth-quarter dividend of C$0.0275 per Subordinate Voting Share on January 31, 2012 to shareholders of record on January 10, 2012.

14 Amount presented for The Warranty Group is adjusted net earnings rather than EBITDA and includes a one-time $6 million valuation allowance release in the first quarter of 2011. Net earnings on a U.S. GAAP basis, including the impacts of purchase accounting, were $105 million and include a one-time $6 million valuation allowance release in the first quarter of 2011.

18 A comprehensive redevelopment underway at Tropicana Las Vegas caused a disruption to its operations, resulting in negative LTM EBITDA that is not reflective of a fully operational hotel and casino.
19 LTM EBITDA excludes EBITDA from businesses divested as of December 31, 2011. Including EBITDA from these divested businesses would result in LTM EBITDA of $774 million as of December 31, 2011.
20 In February 2012, Onex sold a portion of its original investment in JELD-WEN to certain limited partners and others at the same cost basis as Onex' original investment. Onex received proceeds of $79 million.
