Annual Report


ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other information included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are a non-asset based transportation and logistics services company providing customers domestic and international freight forwarding services and other value added supply chain management services, including order fulfillment, inventory management and warehousing.

We are executing a strategy to expand our operations through a combination of organic growth and the strategic acquisition of non-asset based transportation and logistics providers meeting our acquisition criteria.

Our first acquisition of Airgroup Corporation ("Airgroup") was completed on January 1, 2006. Airgroup, headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, is a non-asset based logistics company providing domestic and international freight forwarding services through a network of independent agent offices across North America.

We continue to seek additional companies as suitable acquisition candidates and have completed five material acquisitions since our acquisition of Airgroup. In November 2007, we acquired certain assets of Automotive Services Group in Detroit, Michigan to service the automotive industry. In September 2008, we acquired Adcom Express, Inc. d/b/a Adcom Worldwide ("Adcom"), addingan additional 30 locations across North America and augmenting our overall domestic and international freight forwarding capabilities. In April 2011, we acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc., d/b/a Distribution by Air ("DBA"), adding an additional 26 locations across North America, further expanding our physical network and service capabilities. In December 2011, we acquired the assets and operations of Laredo, Texas based Isla International Ltd, ("Isla") to serve as our gateway to Mexico. In February 2012, we acquired the assets and operations of New York-JFK based Brunswicks Logistics, Inc. d/b/a ALBS Logistics, Inc. ("ALBS"), a strategic location for domestic and international logistics services.

In connection with our 2008 acquisition of Adcom, the Company changed the name of Airgroup Corporation to Radiant Global Logistics, Inc. ("RGL") to better position our centralized back-office operations to service our multi-brand network. Today, RGL, through the Radiant, Airgroup, Adcom and DBA network brands, has a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers using a network of independent carriers through a combination of strategically positioned, company owned and independent agent offices.

Our growth strategy will continue to focus on both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. For organic growth, we will focus on strengthening and retaining existing, and expanding new customer agency relationships. Since our acquisition of Airgroup in January 2006, we have focused our efforts on the build-out of our network of independent agency offices, as well as enhancing our back-office infrastructure, transportation and accounting systems. We also continue to search for targets that fit within our acquisition criteria.

Performance Metrics

Our principal source of income is derived from freight forwarding services. As a freight forwarder, we arrange for the shipment of our customers' freight from point of origin to point of destination. Generally, we quote our customers a turnkey cost for the movement of their freight. Our price quote will often depend upon the customer's time-definite needs (first day through fifth day delivery), special handling needs (heavy equipment, delicate items, environmentally sensitive goods, electronic components, etc.), and the means of transport (motor carrier, air, ocean or rail). In turn, we assume the responsibility for arranging and paying for the underlying means of transportation.

Our transportation revenue represents the total dollar value of services we sell to our customers. Our cost of transportation includes direct costs of transportation, including motor carrier, air, ocean and rail services. We act principally as the service provider to add value in the execution and procurement of these services to our customers. Our net transportation revenue (gross transportation revenue less the direct cost of transportation) is the primary indicator of our ability to source, add value and resell services provided by third parties, and is considered by management to be a key performance measure. In addition, management believes measuring its operating costs as a function of net transportation revenue provides a useful metric, as our ability to control costs as a function of net transportation revenue directly impacts operating earnings.

Our operating results will be affected as acquisitions occur. Since all acquisitions are made using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, our financial statements will only include the results of operations and cash flows of acquired companies for periods subsequent to the date of acquisition.

Our GAAP-based net income will be affected by non-cash charges relating to the amortization of customer related intangible assets and other intangible assets attributable to completed acquisitions. Under applicable accounting standards, purchasers are required to allocate the total consideration in a business combination to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the time of acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is to be allocated to goodwill, which is tested at least annually for impairment. Applicable accounting standards require that we separately account for and value certain identifiable intangible assets based on the unique facts and circumstances of each acquisition. As a result of our acquisition strategy, our net income (loss) will include material non-cash charges relating to the amortization of customer related intangible assets and other intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions. Although these charges may increase as we complete more acquisitions, we believe we will be growing the value of our intangible assets (e.g., customer relationships). Thus, we believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a useful financial measure for investors because it eliminates the effect of these non-cash costs and provides an important metric for our business.

Further, the financial covenants of our Credit Facility are measured against adjusted EBITDA which excludes costs related to share-based compensation expense, change in contingent consideration, extraordinary items and other non-cash charges.

Our compliance with the financial covenants of our borrowing arrangements is particularly important given the materiality of these facilities to our day-to-day operations and overall acquisition strategy. Our debt capacity, subject to the requisite collateral at an advance rate of 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and up to 60% of eligible foreign receivables, is limited to a multiple of our consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) as measured on a rolling four quarter basis. If we fail to comply with these covenants and are unable to secure a waiver or other relief, our financial condition would be materiality weakened and our ability to fund day-to-day operations would be materially and adversely affected. Accordingly, we intend to employ EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as management tools to measure our historical financial performance and as a benchmark for future financial flexibility.

Our operating results are also subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis. The impact of seasonality on our business will depend on numerous factors, including the markets in which we operate, holiday seasons, consumer demand and economic conditions. Since our revenue is largely derived from customers whose shipments are dependent upon consumer demand and just-in-time production schedules, the timing of our revenue is often beyond our control. Factors such as shifting demand for retail goods and/or manufacturing production delays could unexpectedly affect the timing of our revenue. As we increase the scale of our operations, seasonal trends in one area of our business may be offset to an extent by opposite trends in another area. We cannot accurately predict the timing of these factors, nor can we accurately estimate the impact of any particular factor, and thus we can give no assurance any historical seasonal patterns will continue in future periods.

Critical Accounting Policies

Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements prepared by management and are based upon management's current judgments. These judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience regarding to past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ from management's current judgments. While there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates that affect our financial statements, the areas that are particularly significant include revenue recognition, accruals for the cost of purchased transportation, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, changes in contingent consideration, accounting for the issuance of shares and share-based compensation, the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, and the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts.

We perform an annual impairment test for goodwill. The first step of the impairment test requires us to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit's carrying amount. We have only one reporting unit. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and we must perform a second more detailed impairment assessment. The second impairment assessment involves allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. We typically perform our annual impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate, an impairment may have occurred before that time.

Acquired intangibles consist of customer related intangibles and non-compete agreements arising from our acquisitions. Customer related intangibles are amortized using accelerated methods over approximately five years and non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the underlying agreements.

We review long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

As a non-asset based carrier we do not own transportation assets. We generate the major portion of its air and ocean freight revenues by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers and reselling those services to our customers. Based upon the terms in the contract of carriage, revenues related to shipments where we issue a House Airway Bill or a House Ocean Bill of Lading are recognized at the time the freight is tendered to the direct carrier at origin. Costs related to the shipments are also recognized at this same time based upon anticipated margins, contractual arrangements with direct carriers, and other known factors. The estimates are routinely monitored and compared to actual invoiced costs. The estimates are adjusted as deemed necessary by us to reflect differences between the original accruals and actual costs of purchased transportation.

This method generally results in recognition of revenues and purchased transportation costs earlier than the preferred methods under GAAP which do not recognize revenue until a proof of delivery is received or which recognize revenue as progress on the transit is made. Our method of revenue and cost recognition does not result in a material difference from amounts that would be reported under such other methods.

Results of Operations

Basis of Presentation

The results of operations discussion that appears below has been presented utilizing a combination of historical and, where relevant, pro forma unaudited information to include the effects on our consolidated financial statements of our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS. The pro forma results are developed to reflect a consolidation of the historical results of operations of the Company and adjusted to include the historical results of DBA, Isla, and ALBS, as if we had acquired all of them as of July 1, 2010. The pro forma results are also adjusted to reflect a consolidation of the historical results of operations of DBA, Isla, ALBS, and the Company as adjusted to reflect the amortization of acquired intangibles and are also provided in the Financial Statements included within this report.

The pro forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had this acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or which might be attained in the future.

Fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2011

We generated transportation revenue of $297.0 million and net transportation revenue of $84.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, as compared to transportation revenue of $203.8 million and net transportation revenue of $62.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. Net income was $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to net income of $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2011.

We had adjusted EBITDA of $7.5 million and $6.8 million for years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of interest and taxes, and excludes the "non-cash" effects of depreciation and amortization on long-term assets. Companies have some discretion as to which elements of depreciation and amortization are excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We exclude all depreciation charges related to furniture and equipment, all amortization charges, including amortization of leasehold improvements and other intangible assets. We then further adjust EBITDA to exclude changes in contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, extraordinary items, costs related to share-based compensation expense, and other non-cash charges consistent with the financial covenants of our Credit Facility . Our ability to generate adjusted EBITDA ultimately limits the amount of debt that we may carry and is a good indicator of our financial flexibility and capacity to complete additional acquisitions in compliance with the credit agreement. A violation of this covenant in the Credit Facility would greatly limit our financial flexibility, reduce available liquidity, and absent a waiver, could give rise to an event of default under the Credit Facility. For the forgoing reasons, we believe that the Credit Facility is material to our operations and that adjusted EBITDA is important to an evaluation of our financial condition and liquidity. While management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements.

The following table provides a reconciliation for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation G (in thousands):

Excluding these non-recurring costs, the Company would have reported $9,055,000 in adjusted EBITDA for the year ended June 30, 2012, for an increase of $1,649,000, or an increase of 22.3%.

The following table summarizes transportation revenue, cost of transportation and net transportation revenue (in thousands) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

Net transportation margins          28.5 %        30.7 %

We generated transportation revenue of $297.0 million and net transportation revenue of $84.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, as compared to transportation revenue of $203.8 million and net transportation revenue of $62.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. Domestic and international transportation revenue was $179.9 million and $117.1 million, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared with $113.9 million and $89.9 million, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2011. These increases in revenue are due principally to incremental revenues attributed to our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS.

Cost of transportation was 71.5% and 69.3% of transportation revenue for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net transportation margins were 28.5% and 30.7% of transportation revenue for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The nominal margin regression was attributable to differing product mixes of shipments and services throughout the fiscal year with slightly lower margin characteristics.

Agent commissions were $52.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 23.8% from $42.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of DBA agent-based offices in April 2011. As a percentage of net revenues, agent commissions decreased to 61.9% for the year ended June 30, 2012, from 67.8% for the year ended June 30, 2011. This decrease is a result of our recent acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS, which added company-owned operations in Newark, Los Angeles, Laredo, and New York-JFK where commissions are not payable.

Personnel costs consist of payroll, payroll taxes, benefits and stock compensation expense. Personnel costs were $13.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 70.6% from $7.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS, which added the personnel costs associated with the new company-owned operations in Newark, Los Angeles, Laredo, and New York-JFK. As a percentage of net revenues, personnel costs increased to 15.6% for the year ended June 30, 2012, from 12.4% for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs consist primarily of marketing, rent, professional services, insurance and travel expenses. SG&A costs were $11.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 112.7% from $5.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS which added costs associated with the new company-owned operations in Newark, Los Angeles, Laredo, and New York-JFK, combined with non-recurring legal expenses incurred in connection with the Isla and ALBS transactions and the on-going dispute with the selling shareholders of DBA. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A costs increased to 13.4% for the year ended June 30, 2012, from 8.5% for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Depreciation and amortization costs were $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 137.2% from $1.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily due to amortization costs associated with the intangibles our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS. As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization increased to 3.7% for the year ended June 30, 2012 from 2.1% for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Transition costs represent non-recurring operating costs incurred in connection with our acquisition of DBA and totaled $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 74.6% from $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. As a percentage of net revenues, non-recurring transition costs increased to 1.2% for the year ended June 30, 2012, from 0.9% for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Change in contingent consideration represents the change in the fair value of contingent consideration due to former shareholders of acquired operations and totaled income of $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. There were no such costs during the comparable prior period. As a percentage of net revenues, the change in contingent consideration was 1.1% for the year ended June 30, 2012.

Income from operations was $4.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to income from operations of $5.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Other expense was $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, as compared to other expense of $0.1 million during year ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily associated with interest expense incurred with our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS. As a percentage of net revenues, other expense was 1.1% for the year ended June 30, 2012, up from 0.2% for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Our net income was $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, reflecting a 33.3% decrease in results of less than $1.0 million as compared to net income of $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, driven principally by the increased amortization of intangibles resulting from our recent acquisition activities offset partially by the change from contingent consideration and from the non-recurring items identified below. Our net income for the current year also reflected a decrease in results of operations related to greater transition costs associated with the DBA transaction for the current year as compared to the prior year period, which had only one quarter of transition costs. Although we do not believe the deterioration in GAAP-based earnings is reflective of the true earnings power of the business, our near-term earnings have and will continue to be negatively impacted as a result of these incremental non-cash charges and other non-recurring costs including, lost revenue experienced by our Los Angeles DBA office, and the legal expenses incurred in connection with the legal proceedings relating to the DBA acquisition, although it is our expectation that some or all of these amounts may be recoverable in our claims brought against the former DBA shareholders.
