TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2011 /CNW/ - Davis + Henderson Corporation ("D+H" or
the "Business" or the "Company" or the "Corporation" or
"Davis+Henderson") today reported solid financial results for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2011 that were consistent with
expectations and we are satisfied with these results given market conditions and in the context of activities
undertaken related to our strategic agenda. On January 18, 2011 and
April 12, 2011 respectively, Davis + Henderson completed the
acquisitions of ASSET Inc. ("ASSET") and Mortgagebot LLC
("Mortgagebot") and accordingly, the results of the acquired businesses
have been included in the consolidated results since those dates.
Second Quarter Highlights
-
Revenue was $185.1 million, an increase of $18.0 million, or 10.8%,
compared to the same quarter in 2010.
-
EBITDA1 was $48.1 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 9.9%, compared to
$43.8 million for the same quarter in 2010. EBITDA for the second
quarter of 2011 included acquisition related costs of $0.7 million.
-
Adjusted net income1 was $29.1 million ( $0.4974 per share) for the second quarter of 2011. There is no comparable measure for the same period in 2010.
-
Net income was $23.5 million ($0.4010 per share), a year-over-year
decrease of $1.8 million, or 7.0%, compared to $25.2 million ($0.4741
per unit) for the same quarter in 2010. The decrease reflects non-cash
expenses including amortization of intangible assets related to the
ASSET and Mortgagebot acquisitions and the tax expense related to the
change in structure from an income trust to a corporation. Net income
per share for both the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and the first six
months of 2011 was also impacted by the issuance of 6 million shares in
April 2011 to partially fund the Mortgagebot acquisition.
-
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company paid a dividend of $0.30
per share on June 30, 2011 to its shareholders of record on May 31,
2011.
-
On August 9, 2011, D+H announced an increase in its target annual
dividend by 4 cents per share (approximately 3%) from $1.20 per share
to $1.24 per share annualized.
Six-Month Highlights
-
Revenue was $354.7 million, an increase of $31.7 million, or 9.8%,
compared to the same six-month period in 2010.
-
EBITDA was $85.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 5.1%, compared
to the same period in 2010. EBITDA for the first six months of 2011
included acquisition related costs of $2.5 million.
-
Adjusted net income was $57.6 million for the first six months of 2011,
and there is no comparable measure for the same period in 2010.
-
Net income was $59.4 million ($1.0626 per share), a year-over-year
increase of $11.4 million, or 23.8%, compared to $48.1 million
($0.9029 per unit) for the same period in 2010. The increase reflects
the inclusion from the first quarter of 2011 of non-cash tax recovery
primarily related to D+H's conversion to a corporation and IFRS
adjustments.
-
During the first six months of 2011, $0.6033 per share was paid to the
shareholders of D+H.
__________________________________
1 D+H financial results are prepared in accordance with IFRS. D+H reports
several non-IFRS financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted net
income used above. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income,
adjusted to remove certain non-cash charges and certain items of note
such as acquisition-related expenses and discontinued operations. These
items are excluded in calculating adjusted net income as they are not
considered indicative of the financial performance of the Business for
the period being reviewed. Any non-IFRS financial measures should be
considered in context with the IFRS financial presentation and should
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for IFRS net income
or cash flow. Further, D+H's measures may be calculated differently
from similarly titled measures of other companies. See Non-IFRS
Financial Measures for a more complete description of these terms.
D+H's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011 and accompanying notes to the financial
statements and management's discussion & analysis (MD&A) along with the
supplementary financial information will be available tomorrow on www.sedar.com.
For a more detailed discussion of the results and management's outlook,

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the second quarter of
2011 for Davis + Henderson Corporation (the "Company" or the
"Corporation" or the "Business" or "Davis + Henderson" or "D+H" or "we"
or "our"), which was formerly known as Davis + Henderson Income Fund,
or the ("Fund"), has been prepared with an effective date of August 9,
2011 and should be read in conjunction with the MD&A in the Annual
Report for the year ended December 31, 2010, dated March 8, 2011, and
the attached interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. External economic and
industry factors remain substantially unchanged from those described in
the annual MD&A and the Corporation's most recently filed Annual
Information Form, except as described herein.
Adoption of IFRS
For fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, Canadian public
companies are required to prepare their financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"),
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Due
to the requirement to present comparative financial information, the
effective transition date was January 1, 2010. Effective January 1,
2011, the Company's financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with IFRS, with 2010 comparative figures restated to conform
to IFRS.
Conversion from an Income Trust to a Corporation
Effective January 1, 2011, pursuant to a plan of arrangement ("the
Arrangement"), the Fund's income trust structure was converted to a
corporate structure and the publicly traded corporation is now named
Davis + Henderson Corporation. Under the Arrangement, unitholders of
the Fund received, on a tax deferred, roll-over basis, one common share
of the Corporation, for each unit of the Fund held. Common shares of
Davis + Henderson Corporation commenced trading on the Toronto Stock
Exchange on January 4, 2011, under the symbol DH.
In conjunction with the conversion, the Company also undertook an
internal reorganization to simplify its business operations by
consolidating the various businesses it had previously operated as
separate legal entities. The combined business now primarily operates
within D+H Limited Partnership. The conversion was treated as a change
in business form and was accounted for as a continuity of interests. As
such, the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities and unitholders'
equity in the consolidated financial statements of the Fund immediately
before the conversion remained the same as the carrying values of Davis
+ Henderson Corporation immediately after the conversion. Effective
January 1, 2011, the share capital of Davis + Henderson Corporation in
respect of the common shares was reduced by the deficit balance of the
Fund as at December 31, 2010.
Notwithstanding the structural and distribution changes described
herein, the strategies and objectives of the Business remain unchanged.
STRATEGY
D+H is a leading solutions provider to the financial services
marketplace. We have several market-leading service offerings within
Canada, including our cheque supply program, the servicing of student
loans, the provision of registration, recovery and related services for
secured loan products and the delivery of lending technology solutions
within the mortgage market. Additionally, with the recent acquisition
of Mortgagebot, D+H is a market-leading provider of web-based,
point-of-sale solutions in the United States and provides a wide range
of consumer direct, loan officer and branch and call centre mortgage
origination solutions for over 1,000 banks and credit unions. We also
offer broader technology solutions in the commercial lending, small
business lending and leasing area, as well as servicing solutions
within the credit card market and other outsourced services in a number
of specialty areas.
D+H's strategy is to establish market-leading positions within well
defined and growing service areas in the financial services marketplace
and to further expand our service offerings by enhancing the activities
that we perform on behalf of our customers. We expect to advance this
strategy through internal (or organic) initiatives, as well as by
partnering with third parties and by way of selective acquisitions.
D+H's long-term financial objective is to deliver sustainable and
growing earnings through continued organic revenue growth and by way of
strategic acquisitions. The Business has three primary strategies to
meet its objectives. These are to: (i) evolve and enhance the value of
our programs to the chequing and credit card accounts; (ii) extend our
technology supported services related to personal, student and
commercial lending and leasing markets; and (iii) pursue opportunities
in other areas within the financial services marketplace.
Over the past several years, D+H has executed this strategy by evolving
our programs to the chequing account, completing several acquisitions,
including Resolve Business Outsourcing Income Fund ("Resolve") in 2009,
ASSET Inc. ("ASSET") in January 2011, and Mortgagebot LLC
("Mortgagebot") in April 2011, and by further enhancing our services
and capabilities. As a result, we offer a diverse range of
market-leading services.
For a detailed discussion of the second quarter 2011 results,
management's outlook, risk factors and caution concerning
forward-looking statements, please see below.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRESENTATION
All financial information presented in this MD&A is determined and
presented in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, unless
otherwise noted. All information relating to 2010 reporting periods
presented as comparatives have been reclassified to reflect the IFRS
presentation, unless otherwise noted. All amounts are in Canadian
dollars, unless otherwise specified.
Effective January 1, 2011, the Corporation commenced preparing its
consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Prior to
January 1, 2011, the consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
("Canadian GAAP"), and therefore, comparative periods for 2010 have
been restated to be in accordance with IFRS. Comparative periods
presented in this MD&A that are prior to January 1, 2010, have not been
restated and have been presented in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
Comparative information presented for periods prior to January 1, 2011
relate to those of the Fund, and the results for the periods subsequent
to January 1, 2011 are those of the Corporation. Consequently,
throughout this MD&A, any references to distributions, unitholders, and
per unit amounts relate to periods prior to January 1, 2011, and any
references to dividends, shareholders and per share amounts relate to
periods subsequent to January 1, 2011.
Note 24 of the Corporation's financial statements for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011 contain reconciliations and descriptions of
the effect of the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS on equity,
earnings and comprehensive income, including line-by-line
reconciliations of the statement of financial position as at June 30,
2010 as well as the statement of income for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010. The Company previously described the adjustments
that were anticipated in converting from Canadian GAAP to IFRS; with
the completion of the IFRS implementation project, the final
adjustments have been determined, revised where appropriate, and are
reported in Note 24.
OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER - CONSOLIDATED
The following table is derived from, and should be read in conjunction
with, the Consolidated Statements of Income and includes non-IFRS
financial measures. Management believes this supplementary disclosure
provides useful additional information. See Non-IFRS Financial Measures
section for a description of non-IFRS terms used.
The consolidated results include those of ASSET effective January 18,
2011 and Mortgagebot effective April 12, 2011.

1 The results for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011
include those of ASSET and Mortgagebot, effective from the dates of
acquisition of January 18, 2011 and April 12, 2011 respectively.
2 Acquisition-related items consist of transaction costs and other
payments, such as certain retention and incentive payments related to
the Mortgagebot acquisition.
3 EBITDA and Adjusted net income are non-IFRS terms. See Non-IFRS
Financial Measures for a more complete description of these terms.
Periods prior to January 1, 2011, do not have a comparable measure for
Adjusted net income due to the differences in taxation for D+H as an
income trust prior to January 1, 2011 and as a corporation subsequent
to that date.
4 Includes (i) amortization of mark-to-market adjustment of interest-rate
swaps relating to amortization of cumulative net gains and losses that
were deferred prior to January 1, 2007 when hedge accounting was used
by the Company and (ii) mark-to-market adjustments of interest-rate
swaps that existed as at June 30, 2011 that are not designated as
hedges for hedge accounting purposes, and for which any change in the
fair value of these contracts is recorded through income.
5 The Business sold a non-strategic component of its contact centre
business in October 2010 and entered into a transition agreement with
the buyer which ended on April 1, 2011. The results of these
operations are presented as discontinued operations.
6 During the second quarter of 2011, in connection with the acquisition of
Mortgagebot, the Business recorded a non-cash income tax recovery
related to losses within certain US subsidiaries that had not been
previously recognized. Adjustments for the first six months of 2011,
also included non-cash income tax recoveries recorded in the first
quarter of 2011, in connection with the conversion to a corporation and
implementation of IFRS, among other items. On a normalized basis, the
Company expects a tax rate in the 26% range.
7 Diluted Net income per share and Diluted Adjusted net income per share
(non-IFRS term) reflect impacts of outstanding options. If the option
price is below the average market price during the period, then the
options are not included in the dilution calculation.
8 Weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three months
ended June 30, 2011 was 58.5 million shares and during the six months
ended June 30, 2011 was 55.9 million shares.
Overview
D+H had solid operating performance in the second quarter of 2011 that
was consistent with our expectations and we are satisfied with these
results given market conditions and in the context of activities
undertaken related to our strategic agenda. Overall, in the first six
months of 2011, the Business had growth in revenues and EBITDA,
compared to the same period in 2010, due to the inclusion of ASSET and
Mortgagebot. For a more detailed description on revenues and expenses,
see the comments below.
On April 12, 2011, D+H announced the completion of the acquisition of
Mortgagebot for a purchase price of US $232.7 million, excluding
transaction costs. The acquisition was funded through the issuance of
approximately $121.8 million of new equity (6 million common shares at
$20.30 per share) and the balance from borrowings. Mortgagebot is a
leading provider of web-based mortgage point-of-sale solutions in the
United States and provides a wide range of consumer direct, loan
officer and branch and call centre mortgage origination solutions for
over 1,000 banks and credit unions.
Revenue - Second Quarter and Year-to-Date
Consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was $185.1 million,
an increase of $18.0 million, or 10.8%, compared to the same quarter in
2010. For the first six months of 2011, consolidated revenue was $354.7
million, an increase of $31.7 million, or 9.8%, compared to the same
period in 2010. The increases were primarily due to the inclusion of
ASSET acquired January 18, 2011 and Mortgagebot, acquired April 12,
2011, with both increases and decreases in other service areas as
described below.
Services delivered by the Business are subject to seasonality, including
fees earned in connection with mortgage origination services and
automobile loan registration services, which are typically stronger in
the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 from programs to the chequing
account was $74.3 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.5%,
compared to the same quarter in 2010. Revenue from this service area
for the first six months of 2011 was $148.5 million, an increase of
$0.6 million, or 0.4%, compared to the same period in 2010. The
Company believes that the postal strike, which occurred in the later
part of the quarter, negatively impacted order volumes and revenues.
The decrease in order volumes was largely offset by the continued
positive impact of higher average order values. The modest increase in
the first six months was primarily attributable to program changes and
product and service enhancements that provided increased average order
values partially offset by cheque order volume reductions. Management
believes that the long-term historical trend related to current cheque
order decline is relatively unchanged and continues to be in the low
single digit range, however, there has been more volatility in order
volumes in recent periods.
Loan registration and recovery services revenue for the second quarter
of 2011 was $43.0 million, an increase of $11.9 million, or 38.3%,
compared to the same quarter in 2010. Revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 was $79.4 million, an increase of $23.3 million, or
41.6%, compared to the same period in 2010. In both periods, this
increase is due to the inclusion of ASSET, acquired on January 18,
2011. Overall, services in this area are directed toward supporting
personal and commercial lending activity within Canada. Volumes in
this area can be variable due to changes in the economy, changes in the
auto and auto lending market and seasonality. As a somewhat
counter-cyclical business, the recovery fees related to ASSET have been
as expected. Typically, this service area experiences stronger volumes
during the second and third quarters as compared to the first and
fourth quarters as consumers more frequently purchase and finance cars
in the spring and summer.
Revenue for the second quarter from loan servicing, which includes
student loan administration services and credit card servicing was
$32.1 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 5.6%, compared to the
same quarter in 2010. For the first six months of 2011, revenue was
$65.3 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 8.8% compared to the
same period in 2010. Transaction revenue from student loan
administrative services, which comprise the largest portion of revenues
within this service area, was relatively unchanged for both periods as
compared to 2010. Revenues in this area are expected to be relatively
stable over the short-term with modestly growing volumes, new program
initiatives and cost management activities being offset by reduced
pricing related to particular customers. The majority of the revenue
increase in this service area is attributed to the credit card
servicing area, and in turn, primarily related to specific customer
initiatives that increased both revenues and expenses with minimal
impact on profitability.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 from lending technology services,
which includes services to the mortgage market and other credit markets
was $26.4 million, an increase of $5.5 million, or 26.4%, compared to
the same quarter in 2010. For the first six months of 2011, revenue
from this service area was $41.9 million, an increase of $3.9 million,
or 10.3% compared to the same period in 2010. The increase during the
second quarter of 2011 was largely due to the inclusion of Mortgagebot
partially offset by reduced fees related to Canadian mortgage
origination. In the second quarter of 2010 we benefited from strong
origination fees due to the housing and mortgage market recovery
following earlier contractions. While fees were lower in the second
quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, they were
stronger than expected. Fees related to origination volumes also
reduced during the quarter as a result of a customer repatriating
certain of the services we perform for them. For the year-to-date
period, the net revenue increase was due to the inclusion of
Mortgagebot, offset by reduction in several other areas. In general,
industry analysts expect the housing and mortgage markets to further
settle in the second half of 2011.
Other revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was $9.4 million, as
compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 2010, and was
comprised of a number of smaller service offerings. Other revenue for
the first six months of 2011 was $19.6 million, as compared to $21.0
million for the same period in 2010. In general, we have recently
experienced and expect to continue to experience some reductions in
this area as certain customers repatriate currently outsourced
activities. On October 7, 2010, the Business sold a non-strategic
component of its contact centre business and entered into a transition
agreement with the buyer, which expired on April 1, 2011.
The following table reflects the current relative size of each of the
major service areas as a percentage of total revenue on an annualized

Expenses1
On a consolidated basis, expenses for the second quarter of 2011 of
$137.0 million increased by $13.7 million, or 11.1%, compared to the
same quarter in 2010. For the first six months of 2011, consolidated
expenses were $269.1 million, an increase of $27.6 million, or 11.4%
compared to the same period in 2010. The increase primarily reflects
the inclusion of ASSET and Mortgagebot expenses, acquisition-related
expenses, higher costs in support of service areas with higher
revenues, and the ongoing costs associated with the transformation and
integration activities, reduced by cost management and other net
savings.

1 Excluded from the reported amounts are the discontinued operations.
2 Employee compensation and benefits are net of certain employee related
tax benefits and amounts capitalized related to software product
development. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified and
adjusted to conform to current period's presentation. There was no
change in total expenses related to this reclassification.
3 Non-compensation direct expenses include materials, shipping, selling
expenses and third party direct disbursements. Certain comparative
figures have been reclassified and adjusted to conform to current
period's presentation. There was no change in total expenses related
to this reclassification.
4 Other operating expenses include communication costs, licensing fees,
professional fees, contractor fees and expenses not included in other
categories. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified and
adjusted to conform to current period's presentation. There was no
change in total expenses related to this reclassification.
Employee compensation and benefits costs of $55.1 million for the second
quarter of 2011 increased by $7.9 million, or 16.8%, compared to the
same quarter in 2010. For the first six months of 2011, employee
compensation and benefits costs were $107.2 million, an increase of
$11.9 million, or 12.5%, compared to the same period in 2010. The
increase was primarily related to the inclusion of ASSET and
Mortgagebot expenses and a general increase in compensation levels,
partially offset by apprenticeship program benefits and integration
savings. Additionally, we have been replacing contract labour
(recorded as other operating expenses) with full-time staff as the
nature and certainty of work within certain service areas mature.
Non-compensation direct expenses were $59.6 million for the second
quarter of 2011, an increase of $7.0 million, or 13.2%, compared to the same quarter in 2010. For the first six months of 2011,
non-compensation direct expenses of $115.5 million, increased by $14.0
million, or 13.8%, compared to the same period in 2010. The increase is
primarily attributable to the third party direct disbursements relating
to the ASSET business. In general, these expenses directionally change
with revenue changes.
Other operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 of $17.5
million, decreased by $1.7 million, or 8.9% compared to the same
quarter in 2010 and for the first six months of 2011, increased by $1.0
million, or 2.9%, to $36.8 million, compared to the same period in
2010. The decrease in other operating expenses during the second
quarter of 2011 reflected decreases in several cost areas, including
decreases related to transformation and integration project
initiatives.
Occupancy costs for the second quarter of 2011 were $4.8 million, an
increase of $0.5 million, or 12.7% , compared to the same quarter in 2010. For the first six months of 2011,
occupancy costs of $9.5 million, increased by $0.7 million, or 8.1%
compared to the same period last year. Both increases were primarily
due to the inclusion of ASSET and Mortgagebot facilities.
EBITDA
EBITDA during the second quarter of 2011 was $48.1 million, an increase
of $4.3 million, or 9.9%, compared to the same quarter in 2010,
relatively consistent with the increase in revenue. EBITDA for the
first six months of 2011 was $85.6 million, an increase of $4.1
million, or 5.1% compared to the same period of 2010. EBITDA for both
the second quarter of 2011 and the first six months of 2011 was reduced
by acquisition-related costs of $0.7 million and $2.5 million,
respectively.
Amortization of Capital and Non-acquisition Intangibles
Amortization of capital and non-acquisition intangible assets during the
second quarter of 2011 increased by $0.9 million, or 17.4% compared
to the second quarter of 2010 and for the first six months of 2011,
increased by $1.7 million, or 17.7% compared to the first six months of
2010. These increases were primarily related to capital additions
during the latter part of 2010 and the inclusion of the ASSET and
Mortgagebot businesses.
Amortization of Intangibles from Acquisitions
Amortization of acquisition related intangibles for the second quarter
of 2011 increased by $3.4 million, and for the first six months of 2011
increased by $4.4 million as compared to the same periods in 2010
mainly due to the addition of intangibles related to the acquisitions
of ASSET and Mortgagebot.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2011 increased by $1.6
million compared to the same quarter in 2010, and for the six months
ended June 30, 2011, increased by $2.2 million, compared to the first
six months of 2010, due to increased borrowings in relation to the
acquisitions of ASSET and Mortgagebot.
Amortization and Fair Value Adjustment of Derivative Instruments
A net unrealized loss of $1.2 million on interest-rate swaps was
recognized in the second quarter of 2011 (Q2 2010 - net unrealized loss
of $1.8 million) reflecting mark-to-market adjustments related to
changes in market interest rates at June 30, 2011 compared to March 31,
2011. Also included in these unrealized losses is the amortization
related to the cumulative gains and losses that were deferred prior to
January 1, 2007 when hedge accounting was used by D+H.
These unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income because these
swaps are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. In general,
a loss on interest-rate swaps is recorded when rates decrease as
compared to previous periods and a gain is recorded when rates
increase. Provided the Company does not cancel its interest-rate swaps,
the unrealized amounts represent a non-cash unrealized gain or loss
that will subsequently reverse through income as the related swaps
mature. The Company has historically held its derivative contracts to
maturity.
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company's policy is to adopt hedge
accounting prospectively on any new interest-rate swaps entered into
subsequent to January 1, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had
not entered into any new interest-rate swaps and the fair value
adjustments of the existing interest-rate swaps continue to be
recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Income Tax Expense (Recovery)
In the second quarter of 2011, a non-cash income tax expense of $1.7
million was recorded (Q2 2010 - $0.4 million expense). This deferred
tax expense was related to current income deferred for income tax
purposes and was partially offset by a recovery related to the
recognition of a deferred tax asset attributable to losses of certain
US subsidiaries that were not previously recognized. The recovery was
realized as a consequence of the acquisition of Mortgagebot in the
quarter.
Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations
On October 7, 2010, D+H sold the non-strategic portion of its contact
centre business, which primarily served non-core markets of D+H and
entered into a transition agreement with the buyer, which expired on
April 1, 2011. Consequently, the results of operations related to this
part of the Business have been classified as discontinued operations.
Net Income
Net income of $23.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 decreased by
$1.8 million, or 7.0%, compared to the same period in 2010. For the
first six months of 2011, net income of $59.5 million increased by
$11.4 million, or 23.8% compared to the same period in 2010. The
decrease in the second quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to
the amortization of acquisition intangibles and incremental interest
expense related to the ASSET and Mortgagebot acquisitions, partially
offset by the contribution from these acquired
businesses. Additionally, the tax expense of the Business has changed
as a result of the conversion from an income trust to a corporation.
For the six-month period, net income increased primarily due to a
non-cash deferred income tax recovery recorded in the first quarter of
2011.
Adjusted Net Income
Effective January 1, 2011, as a result of the conversion from an income
trust structure to a corporate structure, the Business commenced using
Adjusted net income as a measure for evaluating its financial results.
Adjusted net income is a non-IFRS financial measure. See Non-IFRS
Financial Measures section for a more complete description of this
term. Periods prior to January 1, 2011, do not have a comparable
measure for Adjusted net income.
Adjusted net income excludes both (i) non-cash impacts of items such as
mark-to-market gains and losses on derivative instruments, amortization
of intangibles from acquisitions, income tax recovery during the
quarter related to the recognition of a deferred tax asset attributable
to losses of certain US subsidiaries that were not previously
recognized (and for the first six months of 2011, tax recoveries
related to the corporate conversion and IFRS adjustments) and (ii)
other items of note such as discontinued operations and
acquisition-related costs referred to below. Adjusted net income was
$29.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $57.6 million for the
first six months of 2011. Net income is also adjusted for the tax
impact of these adjustments to arrive at Adjusted net income.
Acquisition-related Costs
During the second quarter of 2011, the Corporation recorded
acquisition-related costs of $0.7 million, which included transaction
costs and other payments, such as certain retention and incentive
payments related to the Mortgagebot acquisition. For the first six
months of 2011, acquisition-related costs were $2.5 million.

1 The 2011 results include those of ASSET, effective from the date of
acquisition of January 18, 2011 and those of Mortgagebot effective from
the date of acquisition of April 12, 2011. Certain comparative figures
have been reclassified and adjusted to conform to the current period's
presentation.
2 Acquisition-related items include transaction costs and other payments,
such as certain retention and incentive payments related to the
Mortagebot acquisition.
3 EBITDA and Adjusted net income are non-IFRS terms. See Non-IFRS
Financial Measures section for a more complete description of these
terms. Periods prior to January 1, 2011, do not have a comparable
measure for Adjusted net income due to the differences in taxation for
D+H as an income trust prior to January 1, 2011 and as a corporation
subsequent to that date.
4 Includes (i) amortization of mark-to-market adjustment of interest-rate
swaps relating to the amortization of cumulative net gains and losses
that were deferred prior to January 1, 2007 when hedge accounting was
used by the Company and (ii) mark-to-market adjustments of
interest-rate swaps that existed as at June 30, 2011 that are not
designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes, and for which any
change in the fair value of these contracts is recorded through income.
5 The Business sold a non-strategic component of its contact centre
business in October 2010 and entered into a transition agreement with
the buyer, which expired on April 1, 2011. The results of these
operations are presented as discontinued operations.
6 During the second quarter of 2011, the Business recorded a non-cash
income tax recovery related to losses within certain US subsidiaries
that had not been previously recognized. Adjustments for the first
quarter of 2011 included non-cash income tax recoveries recorded in
connection with the conversion to a corporation and implementation of
IFRS, among other items. On a normalized basis, the Company expects a
tax rate in the 26% range.
7 Diluted Net income per share and Diluted Adjusted net income per share
(non-IFRS term) reflect impacts of outstanding options. If the option
price is below the average market price during the period, then the
options are not included in the dilution calculation.
8 With the adoption of IFRS, 2010 comparative figures have been restated.

1 IFRS requires that uniform policies be used for like transactions and
events throughout the Company. The Company determined that revenue
transactions related to loan registration and recovery services should
be presented on the basis of gross amount billed to customers. A
subsidiary previously accounted for these transactions on a net basis.
With the conversion to IFRS, the subsidiary has aligned its treatment
of these transactions with that of the Company and the effect is to
increase revenue and expenses with no impact on net income.
2 Under IFRS, non-recurring items are not classified as separate line
items. The effect in the third and fourth quarters of 2010 was to
reclassify the restructuring charges as expenses within relevant
categories with no impact on net income.
3 The effect of transition to IFRS on income tax expense (recovery)
relates to the tax rates used to calculate deferred tax assets and
liabilities under Canadian GAAP vs. IFRS.
4 During the third quarter of 2010, the purchase accounting for Resolve
acquisition was finalized under Canadian GAAP. Under IFRS, certain
costs did not qualify for the equivalent recognition. Such costs
amounted to $4,177 of which $2,257 was recorded as part of the
continuing operations and $1,421 was recorded as part of the
discontinued operations ($1,920 before taxes) for IFRS purposes.
5 EBITDA is a non-IFRS term. See Non-IFRS Financial Measures section for
a more complete description of this term.
The Business has generally reported quarterly revenues that are
relatively stable and growing when measured on a year-over-year basis,
however more recent changes generally in the economic environment, the
housing and mortgage markets and the auto lending markets specifically,
have increased volatility. Measured on a sequential quarter-to-quarter
basis, revenues can also vary due to seasonality and are generally
stronger in the second and third quarters. The acquisition of the
Resolve business resulted in a substantial increase in all reported
balances since the acquisition on July 27, 2009, except per share
amounts, which were additionally impacted by the issuance of 9,286,581
additional units of Davis + Henderson Income Fund in the third quarter
of 2009 to fund the Resolve acquisition. Additionally, the acquisition
of ASSET on January 18, 2011 and the acquisition of Mortgagebot on
April 12, 2011 increased revenues and expenses. Per share amounts were
also impacted by the issuance of 6,000,000 additional shares of Davis +
Henderson Corporation in April 2011 to partially fund the acquisition
of Mortgagebot.
Effective January 1, 2011, as a result of the conversion from an income
trust structure to a corporate structure, the Business commenced using
Adjusted net income as a measure for evaluating its results. Adjusted
net income is a non-IFRS financial measure. See Non-IFRS Financial
Measures section for a more complete description of this term. Periods
prior to January 1, 2011, do not have a comparable measure for Adjusted
net income.
Net income has been more variable as it has been affected by the
variability in non-cash items such as mark-to-market adjustments on
interest-rate swaps, amortization of intangibles from acquisitions and
changes in other non-cash tax items.
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
The following table is derived from, and should be read in conjunction
with, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Management believes
this supplementary disclosure provides useful additional information

Capital Expenditures
Compared to the same period in 2010, total capital expenditures
increased by $2.6 million to $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2011
and increased by $8.4 million to $17.7 million in the first six months
of 2011. Capital expenditures also include certain contract payments
which relate to payment obligations under customer and partner
contracts including fixed contract or program initiation payments and
annual payments payable over the life of the contract. These contract
payments reflect, among other things, the high degree of integration
and sharing between D+H and its customers and partners of the many
activities related to ordering, data handling, customer service,
customer access and other activities.
The increase in capital expenditures over the same period in 2010
primarily reflected increased integration and upgrade activities,
consistent with the higher capital spend commencing in the latter part
of 2010, and investing in the building of technology products.
The Business' capital program provides for continued expenditures to be
funded by cash flows from operations.
Dividends
Commencing in 2011, as a corporation, the Business is subject to
corporate taxes. Consistent with the announcement in 2010 of our
intention to pay quarterly dividends commencing in 2011 at an initial
annualized rate of $1.20 per share, D+H paid approximately $0.30 per
share during each of the first and second quarters of 2011. For the
second quarter of 2010, both cash distributions declared and paid were
$0.4599 per unit ($24.5 million) and for the first six months of 2010,
both cash distributions declared and paid were $0.9198 per unit ($49.0
million).
D+H increased its target annualized dividend amount by 4 cents to $1.24
per share from $1.20 per share, effective for shareholders of record as
of August 31, 2011, to be paid on September 30, 2011.
Dividends payable by D+H to its shareholders are recorded when
declared. Actual dividends declared will be subject to the discretion
of the D+H Board of Directors and may vary from the intentions stated.
Among other items, in determining actual dividends declared, the Board
of Directors will consider the financial performance, capital plans,
acquisition plans, expectations of future economic conditions and other
factors.
As at June 30, 2011, and August 9, 2011, 59,233,373 common shares were
outstanding, reflecting the additional 6 million common shares issued
in April 2011 to fund the Mortgagebot acquisition (as at June 30, 2010
- 53,233,373 trust units).

The net increase in non-cash working capital items for the second
quarter of 2011 was attributable to several items, including an
increase in trade receivables, which were impacted by deferred
collections due to the postal strike, a decrease in payables relating
to fees paid in connection with the ASSET and Mortgagebot acquisitions
and a decrease in the balance sheet provision related to restructuring
payments, partially offset by increase in trade payables.
The Company expects to experience continued variability of non-cash
working capital due to the nature and timing of services rendered in
connection with the businesses recently acquired.
Acquisitions
On April 12, 2011, D+H announced the completion of the acquisition of
Mortgagebot for a purchase price of US $232.7 million, excluding
transaction costs. The acquisition was funded through the issuance of
$121.8 million new equity (6 million common shares at $20.30 per share)
and the balance from borrowings. Mortgagebot is a leading provider of
web-based mortgage point-of-sale solutions in the United States and
provides a wide range of consumer direct, loan officer and branch and
call centre mortgage origination solutions for over 1,000 banks and
credit unions.
On January 18, 2011, D+H acquired the assets and operations of ASSET for
$74.9 million, excluding transaction costs. This acquisition was funded
through utilizing an extension of the Company's secured credit
facilities. ASSET is Canada's largest provider of technology based
asset recovery and insolvency management solutions to the Canadian
financial services industry.
For additional information on the acquisitions, refer to Note 8 of the
consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011.
Management has not yet completed its assessment and valuation of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions, and as
a result, the presented purchase information may change.
Cash Balances and Long-Term Indebtedness
At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totalled $0.7 million,
compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2010.
The long-term indebtedness is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position, net of unamortized deferred financing fees of $6.6
million as at June 30, 2011. The long-term indebtedness as at June 30,
2011, before deducting unamortized deferred finance fees, was $383.8
million compared to $199.0 million at December 31, 2010. Subsequent to
the second quarter of 2011, the Business made a repayment of $5.0
million on its credit facilities.
The long-term indebtedness includes drawings under a Seventh Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") dated April 12, 2011 of
$243.0 million. Total committed senior secured credit facilities under
this Credit Agreement at June 30, 2011 were $355.0 million, consisting
of a revolving credit facility that matures on April 12, 2016. The
Business is permitted to draw on the revolving facility's available
balance of $112.0 million to fund capital expenditures or for other
general purposes. The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants
and restrictions, including the requirement to meet certain financial
ratios and financial condition tests. The financial covenants include a
leverage test, a fixed charge coverage ratio test and a limit on the
maximum amount of income and capital that may be distributed by Davis +
Henderson Corporation to its shareholders during each rolling
four-quarter period. The Company was in compliance with all of its
financial covenants and financial condition tests as of the end of its
latest quarterly period. A copy of the Credit Agreement is available
at www.sedar.com.
As at June 30, 2011, and August 9, 2011, long-term indebtedness also
consists of fixed-rate Bonds of $80.0 million issued under an Amended
and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated January 1,
2011 ("Note Purchase Agreement"), which includes $50.0 million issued
under the senior secured Note Purchase Agreement at a fixed-interest
rate of 5.99% and $30.0 million at 5.17%, both maturing on June 30,
2017. The Business also entered into a Note Purchase and Private Shelf
Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued US$ 63 million (C$ 60.8
million) of senior secured guaranteed notes at 5.59% to partially fund
the acquisition of Mortgagebot.
The Bonds rank equally in all respects with amounts outstanding under
the Credit Agreement, any related hedging contracts and cash management
facilities and benefit from the same financial covenants that exist
under the Credit Agreement described above. The Note Purchase
Agreements are available at www.sedar.com.
To reduce liquidity risk, management has historically renewed the terms
of the Company's long-term indebtedness in advance of its maturity
dates and the Company has maintained financial ratios that are
conservative compared to financial covenants applicable to the
financing arrangements. To enhance its liquidity position, in prior
years the Company has made numerous voluntary payments on its
outstanding long-term indebtedness and a portion of its committed
credit facilities remain undrawn.
As at June 30, 2011, and as at August 9, 2011, the Credit Agreement
provides for additional uncommitted credit arrangements of up to $150.0
million and the Note Purchase Agreements provide for an additional
uncommitted arrangements of up to US$ 37 million with the use of these
arrangements subject to the prior approval of the relevant lenders with
any fees, spreads and other additional terms to be negotiated at that
time.
The Company has historically hedged against increases in market interest
rates on certain of its debt by utilizing interest-rate swaps and more
recently by issuing fixed rate long-term bonds. In respect of
interest-rate swap hedge contracts with its lenders, as of June 30,
2011, the Company's borrowing rates on 39.1% of outstanding long-term
indebtedness under the Credit Agreement are effectively fixed at the
interest rates and for the time periods ending as outlined in the
following table:

1 The listed interest rates exclude bankers' acceptance fees and
prime-rate spreads currently in effect. Such fees and spreads could
increase or decrease depending on the Company's financial leverage as
compared to certain levels specified in the Credit Agreement. As at
June 30, 2011, the Company's long-term bank indebtedness was subject to
bankers' acceptance fees of 2.25% over the applicable BA rate and prime
rate spreads of 1.25% over the prime rate.
As at June 30, 2011, the Company would have to pay the fair value of
$2.9 million if it were to close out all of the interest-rate swap
contracts as set out in the Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position. It is not the present intention of management to close out
these contracts and the Company has historically held its derivative
contracts to maturity.
As at June 30, 2011, the average effective interest rate on the
Corporation's total indebtedness was approximately 4.7%.
Cash flows from operations, together with cash balances on hand and
unutilized term credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to fund
the Business' operating requirements, asset expenditures, contractual
obligations and anticipated dividends.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
The information presented within the tables in this MD&A include certain
adjusted financial measures such as "EBITDA" (Earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization), "Adjusted net income" (net
income before certain non-cash charges and certain items of note such
as acquisition-related expenses and discontinued operations), and
"Adjusted net income per share", all of which are not defined terms
under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures are derived from, and
should be read in conjunction with, the Consolidated Statements of
Income. See the reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted net income to the
most directly comparable IFRS measure in the "Operating Results"
section of this MD&A.
Management believes these supplementary disclosures provide useful
additional information related to the operating results of the
Corporation. Management uses these subtotals as measures of financial
performance and as a supplement to the Consolidated Statements of
Income. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be
construed as an alternative to using net income as a measure of
profitability or as an alternative to the IFRS Consolidated Statements
of Income or other IFRS statements. Further, D+H's method of
calculating each balance may not be comparable to calculations used by
other companies bearing the same description.
EBITDA
In addition to its use by management as an internal measure of financial
performance, EBITDA is used to measure (with adjustments) compliance
with certain financial covenants under the Company's credit facility.
EBITDA is also widely used by D+H and others in assessing performance
and value of a business. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool,
and the reader should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute
for analysis of results as reported under IFRS.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share
Effective January 1, 2011, as a result of the conversion from an income
trust structure to a corporate structure, the Business commenced using
Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share as a measure for
evaluating its results. Periods prior to January 1, 2011, do not have
a comparable measure.
Adjusted net income is used as a measure of internal performance similar
to net income, but is calculated after removing the impacts of certain
items that are non-regularly recurring such as acquisition-related
expenses, discontinued operations and certain non-cash items such as
amortization of intangibles from acquisitions and mark-to-market
adjustments of derivative instruments. These items are excluded in
calculating Adjusted net income as they are not considered indicative
of the financial performance of the Business for the period being
reviewed.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company actively monitors developments in standards as issued by the
IASB and the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB"), as well as
regulatory developments as issued by the Canadian Securities
Administrators ("CSA").
Adoption of IFRS
Commencing January 1, 2011, the Corporation's financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with IFRS, with 2010 comparative figures
restated to conform to IFRS.
IFRS implementation plan
The Company has completed the final phase of its IFRS implementation
plan. The implementation project consisted of three primary phases:
(1) Scoping and Diagnostic Phase, (2) Impact Analysis and Design Phase,
and (3) Implementation and Review Phase. As part of this transition
plan, the Company completed the following:
-
Performed a detailed analysis of the current accounting policies and
practices with all relevant IFRS standards and applicable
interpretations;
-
Made accounting policy choices, including those under IFRS 1, First-Time
Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS 1");
-
Identified and implemented changes required to existing accounting
policies, data systems, business processes, internal controls over
financial reporting and disclosure controls;
-
These changes were adequately tested prior to reporting for the first
quarter of 2011.
-
We have completed the design, implementation and documentation of the
internal controls over the IFRS changeover process by applying our
existing control framework. All accounting policy selections and
changes and transitional impacts to the financial statements were
subject to review by senior management and the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors.
Some of the key differences identified that were applicable to the
Company between Canadian GAAP and IFRS for the opening Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position include accounting for business
combinations, change in tax rates used to calculate deferred income tax
assets and liabilities and recognition of vested past service costs.
The differences identified did not have significant effects on the
business functions of the Company.
IFRS 1 Exemptions
Upon evaluation of the options under IFRS 1, D+H has elected to use the
following exemptions:
Business Combinations
A first-time adopter of IFRS may elect not to apply IFRS 3
retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date
of transition to IFRSs. The retrospective basis would require
restatement of all business combinations that occurred prior to the
transition date. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 3
retrospectively to business combinations that occurred prior to the
transition date and such business combinations will not be restated.
As a result of applying these exemptions, except as required under IFRS
1, any goodwill arising on such business combinations before the
transition date was not adjusted from the carrying value previously
determined under Canadian GAAP.
Fair value as deemed cost
IFRS 1 permits measuring, at the date of transition, an item of
property, plant and equipment or intangible assets that meet the
criteria specified in IAS 38 at either its fair value and using those
amounts as deemed cost, or using the historical valuation under
previous GAAP. The Company continues to apply the cost model to
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and did not restate
to fair value under IFRS. The Company continues to use the historical
basis under Canadian GAAP as deemed cost under IFRS at transition date.
Employee Future Benefits
A first-time adopter of IFRS may elect to recognize all cumulative
actuarial gains and losses at the date of transition to IFRS, even if
it uses the corridor approach for later actuarial gains and losses.
The Company elected to apply the exemption at transition date.
Key Differences Identified Between Canadian GAAP and IFRS
The key differences identified by the Company compared to the accounting
policies under Canadian GAAP are as follows (Refer to Note 24 of the
Corporation's financial statements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 which contains reconciliations and descriptions of the
effect of the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS on equity, earnings
and comprehensive income including line-by-line reconciliations of the
statement of financial position as at June 30, 2010 as well as
statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010):
Business Combinations
As described above, the Company has elected under IFRS 1 not to apply
IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations
that occurred prior to the transition date of January 1, 2010.
Employee Future Benefits
Cumulative gains and losses: The Company has elected under IFRS 1 to
recognize all cumulative gains and losses related to employee benefits
deferred under Canadian GAAP in opening retained earnings at the
transition date.
Past service costs: Under IFRS, if past service cost entitlements are
not conditional on future service and thus vest immediately, then the
expense and the change in the obligation are recognized in full
immediately. Under Canadian GAAP, liabilities and expenses for both
vested and unvested past service cost are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the remaining service period of the employees.
Income Taxes
For the periods prior to January 1, 2011, prior to the conversion of the
income trust to a corporate structure, IAS 12 requires that current and
deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate
applicable to undistributed profits until such time that the
distribution becomes payable. Canadian GAAP allows an entity to
anticipate future distributions, provided certain conditions are met,
and therefore uses the tax rate applicable to distributed profits.
Under the tax rules applicable to income trusts, distributions from a
unit trust are taxed at corporate tax rates whereas undistributed
income is taxed at the top marginal individual income tax rate. As
such, the net deferred tax liability of the flow-through entities must
be recorded under IFRS at the top marginal tax rate for individuals in
Ontario, which is approximately 46.4%, as opposed to the corporate tax
rate, which is scheduled to be less than 30%.
Impact on internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure
controls
The Company completed the assessment of the impact of the conversion to
IFRS on internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure
controls and determined that its current information technology
infrastructure, data systems and reporting capabilities are sufficient
to support the Company during and after transition to IFRS.
The Company will continue to monitor changes to IFRS in the upcoming
periods. The IFRS standard-setting bodies have significant ongoing
projects that could impact the IFRS accounting policies that D+H has
selected. In particular, there may be additional new or revised
standards in relation to revenue recognition, consolidation, financial
instruments, hedge accounting, discontinued operations, leases and
employee benefits. We have implemented processes to ensure that
potential changes to the IFRS are monitored and evaluated in a timely
manner.
Other Changes in Accounting Policy
As previously described, effective January 1, 2011, the Company's policy
is to adopt hedge accounting prospectively on any new interest-rate
swaps entered into subsequent to January 1, 2011. As of June 30, 2011,
the Company had not entered into any new interest-rate swaps and the
mark-to-market adjustments of the existing interest-rate swaps continue
to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
BUSINESS RISKS
For a comprehensive discussion of the business risks, refer to the
Company's most recently filed Annual Information Form available on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Other than the changes described below, risks and uncertainties
related to the Corporation have not changed since the filing of the
2010 Annual MD&A and the Annual Information Form.
Risks Relating to the Mortgagebot Business
In connection with the acquisition of Mortgagebot, for a comprehensive
discussion of the business and business risks refer to the Company's
Prospectus dated April 6, 2011 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
OUTLOOK
D+H's long-term financial objective is to deliver sustainable and
growing earnings through continued organic revenue growth and by way of
strategic acquisitions. In January and April 2011, respectively, the
Company completed the acquisitions of ASSET and Mortgagebot and these
acquisitions will increase revenues and expenses of future periods as
compared to previous periods. The acquisitions also provide further
revenue diversification and support our long-term strategy.
Additionally, in the immediate future, we will focus on executing our
organic growth initiatives, integrating the Business and continuing to
diligently manage costs through our transformational and integration
initiatives. Beyond the immediate term, we believe that our market
leadership and combined capabilities will solidly position D+H in the
markets we serve and allow us to grow consistent with our long-term
objectives.
As set out in our statement of strategy, we look to grow our Business
through a combination of organic initiatives, partnering with third
parties and by way of selective acquisitions. Our organic initiatives
are many and include: (i) the ongoing enhancement and evolution of
programs to the chequing and credit card accounts through the addition
of value-added service enhancements (ii) the expansion of our current
services within the student lending, commercial and personal lending
areas (including the mortgage, credit card and personal property
markets), (iii) selling and delivering our lending technology services
to new customers and (iv) combining the capabilities of D+H together
with those of the recently acquired businesses to develop new service
offerings for our financial institution customers. Our acquisition
strategy focuses on acquiring companies that extend or add to the
services that we provide within the financial services marketplace.
Our acquisition plans may continue to involve extending beyond the
Canadian market consistent with the expansion strategies of our major
Canadian customers.
With the inclusion of several new service areas over the last several
years, we expect to continue to experience some level of increase in
variability in year-over-year quarterly revenues, earnings and cash
flows, due to, among other items: (i) volume variances within the lien
registration and mortgage origination service areas; (ii) variability
in professional services work; and (iii) fees and expenses incurred in
connection with acquisitions and related business integration
activities. The Company believes that, in general, revenues in early
2010 benefited from stronger volumes as housing and mortgage markets,
and auto and personal lending markets increased following earlier
contractions. During the first half of 2011 and for the next several
quarters, our results will compare to these earlier periods that
featured strong activity in real estate, mortgage and other lending
markets where activity is now expected to moderate.
For 2011, we anticipate that our capital spending will be in the range
of $32.0 million - $35.0 million including the capital requirements for
ASSET and Mortgagebot. This range represents an increase over previous
estimates due to continuing investment in services, products and
infrastructure.
Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This MD&A contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking
information within the meaning of applicable securities laws
("forward-looking statements"). Statements concerning D+H's objectives,
goals, strategies, intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations and
estimates, and the business, operations, financial performance and
condition of D+H are forward-looking statements. The words "believe",
"expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend", "may", "will", "would"
and similar expressions and the negative of such expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all
forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These
forward-looking statements are subject to important assumptions,
including the following specific assumptions: the ability of D+H to
meet its revenue and EBITDA targets; general industry and economic
conditions; changes in D+H's relationship with its customers and
suppliers; pricing pressures and other competitive factors; the
anticipated effect of the acquisition of Mortgagebot on the financial
performance of D+H; and the expected benefits arising as a result of
the acquisition of Mortgagebot. D+H has also made certain macroeconomic
and general industry assumptions in the preparation of such
forward-looking statements. While D+H considers these factors and
assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available,
there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with
these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Business, or developments in D+H's
industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results,
performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.
Risks related to forward-looking statements include, among other things,
challenges presented by declines in the use of cheques by consumers;
the Company's dependence on a limited number of large financial
institution customers and dependence on their acceptance of new
programs; strategic initiatives being undertaken to meet the Company's
financial objective; stability and growth in the real estate, mortgage
and lending markets; as well as general market conditions, including
economic and interest rate dynamics. Given these uncertainties, readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements. The documents incorporated by reference herein also
identify additional factors that could affect the operating results and
performance of the Company. Forward-looking statements are based on
management's current plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and
opinions, and D+H does not undertake any obligation to update
forward-looking statements should assumptions related to these plans,
estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions change except as required
by applicable securities laws.
All of the forward-looking statements made in this MD&A and the
documents incorporated by reference herein are qualified by these
cautionary statements and other cautionary statements or factors
contained herein, and there can be no assurance that the actual results
or developments will be realized or, even if substantially realized,
that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the
Company.
