    Changes in net income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily the result of the following:

    • Revenues net of model costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 14.7% and 24.4% primarily due to increased bookings as the cities where Wilhelmina operates reopened and business activity increased as COVID-19 restrictions were moderated or rescinded;
    • Salaries and service costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 31.1% and 36.2% primarily due to temporary reductions in staff salaries in the prior year, which returned to full salary in July 2021;
    • Office and general expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 2.3% and 10.4%, primarily due to reduced rent expense, other office related expenses, utilities, and computer expenses; and
    • Amortization and depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 80.7% and 79.2%, primarily due to reduced depreciation of assets that became fully amortized in 2021;
    • Non-recurring items included $0.1 million and $2.0 million of gain on forgiveness of PPP loans and $0.4 million and $0.9 million of employee retention credit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021; and
    • Corporate overhead expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 12.1% and 7.4%, primarily due to temporary reduction in fees paid to corporate employees and the Company’s directors in the prior year that returned to full fee in July 2021.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA represent measures of financial performance that are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP financial measures”). The Company considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Pre-Corporate EBITDA to be important measures of performance because they:

    • are key operating metrics of the Company's business;
    • are used by management in its planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate its financial and operating results; and
    • provide stockholders and potential investors with a means to evaluate the Company's financial and operating results against other companies within the Company's industry. 

    The Company's calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be consistent with similar calculations by other companies in the Company's industry. The Company calculates EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company calculates “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA plus foreign exchange gain/loss, share-based payment expense and certain significant non-recurring items that the Company may include from time to time. For 2021, these non-recurring items represented gain on forgiveness of PPP loans and employee retention payroll tax credit. The Company calculates “Pre-Corporate EBITDA” as Adjusted EBITDA plus corporate overhead expense, which includes director compensation, securities laws compliance costs, audit and professional fees, and other public company costs.

    Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net and operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

    Form 10-Q Filing

    Additional information concerning the Company's results of operations and financial position is included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2022.
