Robert A. Whitman
Good afternoon, everyone. We’re delighted to have you with us.
We’re delighted to report we had a very strong first quarter. Hopefully you’ve seen the press release on that.
It turned out to be the strongest first quarter ever for our current business and one that also somewhat exceeded our expectations. We continue to feel very good about the business, about our backlog, pipeline, momentum and our outlook for the second quarter of the year and the expected trajectory of our business over the next several years.
Today, I’m going to keep my remarks relatively brief to allow time, plenty of time for questions. So I’d like to touch on three topics: first, some key headlines regarding the financial performance of the business during the first quarter, second, our outlook for the year in what we see as a very positive trajectory for the business in our growth and earnings potential over the next several years; and then finally, the potential for further accelerating our growth with a specific focus on one particular growth opportunity.
So, first on first quarter headlines. First of those is that our revenue was very strong during the quarter.
Our revenue during the first quarter increased to $39.5 million, with a $4 million or 12% increase in revenue from other areas of the business, more than offsetting the planned $3.9 million year-over-year decline in revenue related to the large Government Services contract, which as you know last year this time was in its initiation phase, or during the first quarter it was. We’re pleased that our total revenue somewhat exceeded our expectations and made the first quarter the best first quarter ever for our current business.
Our results even slightly exceeded the very strong first quarter reports of last year, which was driven by the substantial revenue we received as part of the initial launch phase of that contract. And then, for the trailing four quarters ended November 26, revenue of $160.9 million was, represented a $16.6 million increase or 11.5% increase compared to $144 million in trailing four quarters revenue we had a year ago.
We’re pleased that our [results] during the [first] quarter is very broad-based with revenue growth of 9% in our four U.S. and Canadian geographic direct offices; revenue growth of 24% in our National Account practices, with Sales Performance practice growing 37% in the quarter, the Education practice growing 23%, and Customer Loyalty growing 11%.
We had revenue growth of 22.8% for international licensee partner offices and we’re excited that 18 of our 20 largest licensee partners posted revenue growth for the quarter. And we also had a small amount of revenue growth in our international direct offices.
So that’s kind of the first headline for the quarter. Second headline is that a higher increase in percentage of revenue flowed through to increases in adjusted EBITDA, operating income, net income and free cash flow.
I’ll just maybe touch on each of those. Our adjusted EBITDA grew 12.2% for the first quarter to $6.4 million, which is up from $5.7 million for the first quarter in fiscal 2011.
This exceeded our expectations and also made the first quarter our best first quarter ever for adjusted EBITDA. We really feel particularly good about this since we’re up against a very tough comp from last year, where our adjusted EBITDA had increased by 63% or $2.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2010, driven by the initiation of the government contract.
Interesting for us is historically the only quarter in a year in which we’ve really ever achieved adjusted EBITDA of $6 million has been in our seasonally strong fourth quarter. And just two years ago, we had what we view as a very strong first quarter when we achieved $3.7 million in adjusted EBITDA.
So for us to [exceed] $6 million in adjusted EBITDA in our first quarter was very encouraging. For the trailing four quarters ended November 26, adjusted EBITDA increased to $21.8 million, an increase of $5.2 million or 31% compared to the $16.6 million in trailing four quarters adjusted EBITDA the same time a year ago.
Net income grew 109% for the first quarter to $1.7 million, which is up from $800,000 in the first quarter of 2011. This results largely from a positive change which we’ve been hoping for in our improved effective tax rate, which is now here.
For the trailing four quarters ended November 26, net income increased to $5.7 million, which was a $5.6 million increase compared to the small net income that we had for the trailing four quarters at the same time a year ago. Finally, on free cash flow, free cash flow grew 4.2% during the first quarter to $3.5 million, up from $3.4 million in Q1 of 2011.
And for the trailing four quarters ended November 26, our free cash flow increased to $13.2 million against the $21 million of EBITDA, which is an increase of 24% or $2.5 million compared to the $10.6 million in trailing four quarters free cash flow the same time a year ago. So in all of the key metrics, the adjusted EBITDA, operating income, net income, free cash flow, we feel very good both about the quarter and certainly the trailing four quarters momentum.
The final headline is that our adjusted EBITDA margin has also expanded meaningfully in the first quarter. With a significant flow-through of revenue to adjusted EBITDA, our adjusted EBITDA to sales percentage increased to 16.1% for the first quarter from 14.4% in last year's first quarter.
And for the trailing four quarters, it increased to 13.6% from 11.5% for the trailing four quarters a year ago. We have expected future revenue growth and continued [high] flow through incremental revenue to adjusted EBITDA, we expect our adjusted EBITDA to sales margins to increase to approximately 18% over the next few years.
So we’re very pleased and encouraged by these strong results, as we hope you are. The second topic then of the three that I’d like to discuss is to share our outlook for the year, what we see as the positive trajectory for the business and our growth earnings potential over the next several years; our outlook for the balance of the year first.
As you can see in slide three, during the first quarter, our pipeline of booked days and awarded revenue, which are commitments made by customers, contracts and commitments, grew $3.9 million or 15% compared to the same time last year. This reflects both growth in bookings from existing clients and have a number of important new engagements, just to show a couple of observations about this pipeline.
First is, the vast majority of our clients are focused on growing their businesses and are continuing to make essential investments, including investments in training connected to key strategic imperatives they have. In fact, getting more better results from their huge existing investment that companies have in their people is one of the biggest opportunities for improvements for almost any organization.
As a result, our pipeline of book days and order revenue increased during the first quarter. And as of November 26, as you see on slide three, this key metric increased to almost $30 million from $26.1 million at the same time last year.
This is an increase of $3.9 million or 15%. It’s worth noting that this $3.9 million pipeline increase was after deducting more than $3 million in year-over-year pipeline value related to the government contract.
In other words, as you see, our corporate pipeline grew $7.2 million or 42% compared with the same quarter, offset by a decline of around $3 million in our government, this particular government contract. While this metric only captures booking data for our U.S.
operations and excludes the predictable revenue from more than 10,000 licensee, licensed facilitators we have in client companies, it provides a good insight into the likely strength of our revenue for at least the next two or three quarters, and it is very positive, we believe. We also estimate that our international direct offices have an additional pipeline of booked days and committed revenue of somewhere between $8 million and $10 million.
This pipeline of booked days and order revenue metric is, as I mentioned, is actual bookings and client commitments. We also track what we call our perspective business pipeline, which is a measure of the magnitude of potential revenue which is currently being discussed with and proposed to clients.
We track this every week and the size of that pipeline is also significantly larger than this time last year indicating strong momentum which we expect will convert to bookings and contractual commitment in the coming months and quarters. So in summary, the strength of our first quarter performance, the momentum we’re continuing to see in the business is reflected in both the increasing size of our pipeline of booked days and ordered revenue and the magnitude of our perspective business pipeline all increase our confidence and our previously provided adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $24 million to $26 million.
We are clearly focused on hitting the high end of that range and look forward to updating our guidance in future quarters. On a longer-term perspective, we maybe discuss what we see as the positive trajectory for the business and our growth in earnings potential over the next several years.
We said before that we expect to be able to continue achieve strong revenue growth in the future of at least, at least double-digit levels. And we are pleased that our revenue growth over the past two years has been higher than this.
We’ve also said that we expected between 30% and 40% of our increased revenue should flow through the increases in adjusted EBITDA and we’re again pleased that our revenue flow through over the past two years has also been higher than this. Achieving these economics should drive aggressive growth in adjusted EBITDA, earnings and free cash flow, while significantly expanding our adjusted EBITDA margins in the coming years.
The power of our operating model can be seen in this slide four. As shown, assuming that we achieve say 10% compounded average growth rate in revenue over the next three years and 35% of that increase in revenue flow through the adjusted EBITDA, our adjusted EBITDA would increase to between $38 million and $40 million.
This would translate into compounded annual growth rate of adjusted EBITDA of approximately 22% each year. The percentage growth rate in operating income and net income would obviously be even more significant and free cash flow generation would be very substantial.
Under this scenario, our adjusted EBITDA to sales margin percentage would increase to approximately 18% for the end of fiscal 2014. As also indicated in the slide four, you can see the ranges, any acceleration in the rate of the revenue growth beyond the 10% that I used or the flow through percentage or a combination of the two would have a compounded impact on growth in adjusted EBITDA as well as on free cash flow, operating income, net income, et cetera and you can see what those different growth rates could be.
But even at 10% we’d be generating 22% or so compounded annual growth rate in adjusted EBITDA, under this example. Stepping back from the data for a minute, while the range of possible outcomes included in slide four shouldn’t be considered as a formal guidance, we’re offering a degree of insight into the future, one, to provide you with an idea of the growth and earnings potential that we see in the business over the next several years; and second, because we’re actually committed to achieving results of this magnitude.
The data included in the slide four actually brackets the general parameters of our current three-year plan. This plan isn’t just a typical excel spreadsheet, this is a plan which has been backed up by a detailed (inaudible) level three-year budget, which has been signed off on and committed to by all our top 20 leaders.
Every one of this folks are achieving something very close to $40 million of adjusted EBITDA by approximately at the end of fiscal 2014. Our short and long-term compensation plans are actually tied to the achievement of the key metrics included within the performance parameters outlined on this slide and much of the conversation is tied to realizing the kind of increase in share price which this level of growth should warrant.
We have confidence with the strength of our offerings, practices, channels and our leaders, we can achieve it, and this confidence is actually supported by the trajectory of our revenue and adjusted EBITDA results over the past few years, which were themselves part of a prior multi-year plan, which we’re grateful to have been able to achieve and exceed. So I hope that’s at least somewhat helpful.
The final topic I’d like to discuss today then is to focus on the potential for further accelerating our growth and potentially moving it up on that grid some. I’d like to give a specific emphasis on one particular growth opportunity rather than giving too much information on too many.
But first, as significant is the growth prospects outlined in slide four are, we actually do believe we have the opportunity to accelerate this growth. In our letter to shareholders, which hopefully most of you have received, we identified four key factors that differentiate us from others in the training and performance improvement industries.
These factors have driven our growth over the past years and will we believe be key drivers of our growth in the future. We believe we have significant opportunities for growth and for accelerating growth in each of these areas.
These four factors are, first, our world-class intellectual property, the impact of which is reflected in our strong gross margins, which on average are in the high 60s for our offerings; the durability and longevity of our offerings measured, our offerings and our contents, the longevity is measured not in months or even in years, but in decades; and finally, the magnitude of the worldwide revenue, which each of our practice area offerings can generate. As I noted in our letter to shareholders, two of our core practice offerings have generated more than $1 billion each in revenue to-date and our new practice area offerings have already collectively [generated] more than $200 million in revenue over the past few years.
We expect each of our practice area offerings to only become $500 million to $1 billion offerings in terms of cumulative revenue and we’re off to a very strong start with our new 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity World Launch Tour. We think this one has the real potential to be a real blockbuster offering for us.
The second thing that sets us apart is our focus on helping clients achieve these transformational and organizational result while providing clients with a highly flexible continuum of delivery options. [You note] the strength of this factor is reflected in our increasing revenue from existing clients, which was up 12% last year, and the increasing portion of our delivery, which is either technology delivered or technology assisted.
Three years ago, approximately $7 million of our revenue fit into those categories. In the trailing 12 months, approximately $40 million of our revenue is either technology delivered or technology assisted in one way or another.
So our investments and focus on our continued delivery options is significantly increasing our scalability. Third, our global footprint, which is reflected in the increasing size and productivity of our sales forces worldwide and our increasing number of global clients.
And then fourth, the depth and breadth of our influence reflected in the large and growing number of book titles reaching top 30 status, which we have three right now, three of the 30; the millions of individuals who are consumers of our content each year. So, each of these unique differentiators provide us with opportunities that cause our margins and growth rates and the nature of our business to be different than the typical industrial participant.
And each has growth, really plenty of growth opportunities and we got specific initiatives in each. But I’d like to just briefly focus on one particular area of opportunity, which is further accelerating the already strong growth of our international licensee partner network.
As you can see in slide five, over the past seven years, our 35 international licensee partners’ gross revenues have increased from approximately $29 million in fiscal 2004 to approximately $75 million in fiscal 2011. This growth resulted in more than doubling of our licensee royalties and other licensee revenue from $5 million to $12 million, with licensee royalties themselves growing from just under $4 million to approximately $10.5 million.
During fiscal '11, our international licensee royalty and related revenue grew 14% compared to the prior year, and this increased 22% during the first quarter compared to the first quarter of fiscal '11. To help continue to drive this, we now include eight of our top licensee partners, the leaders of our licensee partners in our Business Unit Leader and General Manager meetings.
So they’re really part of the team. They are learning everything at the same time, so that we can more systematically roll this out.
We’re working with them closely to accelerate their growth. Even without a change in the current trajectory, we would expect our licensee partner revenues and our royalties to double over the next four to five years and we’re very encouraged and excited about that.
But in addition to this organic growth, we see opportunities for further accelerating the growth of our international licensee partner channel, including the following, and I’m just going to touch on them. And in the Q&A, we could go into more detail or offline.
[The first is the] opportunities to increase our penetration within licensee, what we call home countries. As noted, we have 35 international licensee partners who have rights to represent us in 141 countries.
Now, these licensees have built their businesses, they’re generally focused primarily on their home country, say Germany, Belgium, Panama, et cetera. And with this folks, approximately two-thirds of all of our licensee revenue comes from just these 35 countries.
But even in these countries, we have, the fact that they’ve grown well but they started just relatively recently, they still have relatively low penetration even in their home countries. And relative to our own direct offices in North America, where we still have very low penetration relative to potential, if we could just over time get these existing licensees in the home countries to where they have the same penetration levels we already have with our relatively low penetration at our direct offices, that would increase our licensees’ gross revenues by almost $100 million and increase our royalties by $14 million.
So that’s a big opportunity and we’re on that every day. They’re adding sales people for doing it.
I’ll just touch on the others. The second opportunity lies in activating non-home countries that are covered by existing licenses and this is, only $25 million of the current licensing revenue comes from non-home countries.
These licensees, the penetration of these non-home countries is even less than in the home countries, so the potential is huge. Third, the sale of new geographic licenses.
With our folks [that are] helping our existing licensees to grow their business, we’ve not added many new licensees over the past few years. We’ve now identified 19 new countries in which we’re actually pursuing new licensee partners and we expect to see some of those landed here in the coming quarters.
Fourth, opportunity is to expand our various practice offerings into our licensees. It’s interesting that 74% of our existing international licensee partner revenue is coming from just one of our seven practice categories that is Leadership.
A significant portion of our growth in North America has been driven over the last year by the other six practice categories, and expanding these practice categories is a huge opportunity for accelerating their growth. The example of that potential is already, can already be seen in our new 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity launch, where for the first time we had a simultaneous, uniform coordinated go-to-market launch in almost of the home countries in the world and in many of the non-home countries.
Finally, there are opportunities for helping certain key licensees to accelerate their growth by helping them to recapitalize their businesses. Several of our most rapidly growing licensee partners have extraordinary growth opportunity.
They’ve already grown really rapidly, but are constrained because they don’t have the working capital to grow. So, helping them to find ways to relieve these constraints could also allow them to further accelerate their growth.
For example in India, our team started [in security with] seven employees. They have 185 today, but they’re still just scratching the surface.
So we're very focused on taking advantage of these additional growth opportunities to accelerate the growth of our licensee network, and again be happy to amplify any of these opportunities in the Q&A or offline. So, in conclusion, to summarize again, our first quarter financial highlights were the revenue growth is very broad based, with sales increases in our direct offices in North America, our direct international offices, in our international licensee channel, in our National Account practices, and then in our books and royalties.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to $6.4 million compared to $5.7 million in the prior year, and on the trailing four quarters, is up 31% compared to a year ago. And our margins increased, EBITDA margins increased to 16.1% from 14% a year ago.
We’re very pleased with the results and the moment of our business. We expect to be able to continue to achieve both strong top and bottom line growth in fiscal 2012 and beyond.
We also believe that the differentiating factors discussed a minute ago will both help us to achieve this growth and continue to set us apart and reinforce our strategic position and strength in the marketplace. So, thanks to each of you for your continuing support and guidance.
Let me now turn the time over to Steve Young for some brief remarks and then open it to questions. Thanks very much.
Stephen D. Young
Thank you, Bob. Hello everyone.
Happy New Year; to Derek, Happy New Year. I’m also pleased with our first quarter result and look forward to exciting things in the future.
Bob gave a wonderful summary of our earnings, so I’ll just mention really three quick points related to our balance sheet, our taxes, and our share count. First, our balance sheet.
Our balance sheet remains strong. I don’t think that when you review our balance sheet you’ll see any unexpected amount or unexpected changes in those balance sheet accounts.
We know that in our first quarter of each year our accrued liabilities will decrease significantly due to our payment of fourth quarter and annual revenue and earnings based compensation. So that cash is always used in Q1.
So you’ll see that and that’s normal and I think you’ll see that everything related to our balance sheet is clean and our balance sheet remains strong. Second, our taxes.
Our income statements reflect a significant decrease and effective tax rate that Bob spoke of. For several years, we were unable to record the benefit of foreign tax credit.
In some quarters, our tax expense actually exceeded our pre-tax income. Now fortunately we are able to reflect the benefit of current foreign tax credits.
So the current tax rate of about 46% is more typical of the effective tax rate that we will see for the remainder of this year and in the near future. Please also as you think of taxes remember that we do still have net operating loss carry forwards and unused foreign tax credits that will give us about 12 million plus dollars of tax relief in the future related to cash for taxes.
And third, our share count, again as you look at our income statement you'll see the outstanding share count has increased by about 700,000 shares compared to last year. You remember that this increase is due primarily to the exercise of 1.9 million warrants last year.
So as you think of our share count, please remember that in our future hopefully when our share price gets a little bit over $15, right now its $15.12, that our share count will decrease significantly as the management loan program is resolved and 3.4 million shares will come out of our outstanding share count. In the meantime please don’t be surprised because you know that there are still 4.3 million warrants outstanding that could be exercised for the next 14 or 15 months.
That exercise, if it happens, and depending on the price would of course increase our outstanding shares. So we don’t want you to be surprised if the count goes up and then don’t want you to be pleasantly surprised when and if the share count goes down significantly.
Sorting through all of that lot of people ask us what we see related to share count. And what we see is, is if we get to a point where the management stock loan program is resolved and if the warrants were exercised as an exercise price similar to the warrant exercised last year and if we get to a share count that our share based compensation that is tied to share count is, those shares are awarded, then we see a share count of about 16.5 million.
Of course, that could be higher or lower depending on a lot of variables and we love to talk about that, but that's kind of the way we see it. So, Bob, those are just a couple of extra points.
As I said, I’m also excited about the quarter and excited looking into the future. Thank you.
Robert A. Whitman
Thanks, Steve. We would now like to open it for questions and I guess turn it back to the operator to tell us how we do this.
Question-and-Answer Section
Operator
(Operator Instructions) And our first question comes from the line of Joe Janssen of Barrington Research. Please proceed.
Joseph D. Janssen – Barrington Research
Gentlemen, congratulations on a good quarter.
Robert A. Whitman
Thank you.
Joseph D. Janssen – Barrington Research
My first question maybe is for Bob. I’m trying to get a sense of the quality of your pipeline in terms of like the visibility.
Can you provide and you’ve talked about this in the past, you’ve given some color on the conversations with clients within the pipe, in your prepared remarks you mentioned that they are committed to help growing the business, but can you maybe take it a step further and dive a little deeper?
Robert A. Whitman
In terms of our pipeline you’re saying?
Joseph D. Janssen – Barrington Research
Quality of the pipe. Like you’ve put out like, what you’re seeing in RFPs, in terms of taking sales cost, you’ve kind of given some metrics in the past and I just kind of want to get a feel of where that’s trending?
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah, great. And in fact Shawn Moon who leads all of our direct sales force, maybe I’ll just have Shawn make some comments and I’ll follow up with those, Joe, if that’s okay?
Joseph D. Janssen – Barrington Research
Yeah, that’s great.
Shawn D. Moon
Hi, Joe, good to talk with you. We feel encouraged by the strength of our pipeline and the visibility in the pipeline we think is better than it has been in the past and the utilization of tracking tools is better than it’s been in the past.
One of the things that is encouraging to us is the nature of large deals. They are bigger and more prevalent than they’ve been in the past.
So that allows us to be a little bit more predictive. As an example, the large government contract that Bob referenced, that’s a three-year contract and very predictable, well mostly predictable quarter-by-quarter.
So that gives much more visibility into how we’re able to track that and predict.
Joseph D. Janssen – Barrington Research
What was the average revenue per client in the quarter? I think last year, it was up 12%, you said larger content, you quantify them as 100,000 plus that was also growing, are we still seeing the same trend?
Robert A. Whitman
We are. We are actually, Joe, if you’re in our conference and heard it too, we’ve got a list of about 30 large accounts who are on the books that we’re working so.
And so last year excluding the government contract which would have skewed the data, we had just over 12% growth in revenue per client and that has continued in the first quarter. So we’ve had, again, when you exclude, as we said earlier we have little over 12% growth in revenue from our geographic offices during the first quarter and the only place that declined was this government contract which we knew.
And so most of that, some of that of course is new clients which we, but most of the new clients are being driven, a lot of the new clients in the first quarter were driven by the new type choices launched and so not a lot of those converted to a lot of revenue in the first quarter. So primarily I would say that the exact number we could provide, but it’s roughly in the range of 11% to 12% revenue growth per client also during the first quarter.
Just stepping back, because you’re asking kind of the visibility question, let me just say there are four stages in that question. We have actual bookings, which is this pipeline of booked days and ordered revenue and we’ve given that.
The pipeline of potential step is currently being discussed with clients. We know how big that is and we have percentages applied to different categories of these in A, B, C, D percentage that gives us a weighted average pipeline there, this step is currently being discussed and ultimately would go into the pipeline we mentioned that that’s also much larger than it was at this time last year.
The third element is our marketing event pipeline. A lot of what we do nothing sells for us like an experience with our content; we have these two hour marketing overviews where the right targeted buyers are invited.
We’ve got more than double the number of those scheduled this year. One, because we’ve proven that really work, that the number of those, that will drive new opportunities into the potential business which eventually will translate.
And then we’ve also got something just a number of face to face calls on clients that we track. And so when you look at whole will thing, the visibility from what’s already been booked is two to three quarters out.
Joseph D. Janssen – Barrington Research
Right.
Robert A. Whitman
Maybe, one to three quarters. What’s in the pipeline is two to four quarters.
The marketing event drives that from two to four or five quarters and the face to face meetings get started and those will move to more than a year. And so increasingly as Shawn said, we feel like we have some visibility where we can think of a three-year plan and say, we have good visibility for a quarter or two and good visibility about the lead metrics out beyond that so that we can really be thinking, as we (inaudible) out here we think that, hey this month might be looking a little softer, this one looks really great, and what can we do about it, you’re out, and that’s helping us in our predictability.
Does that respond to your question?
Joseph D. Janssen – Barrington Research Group, Inc.
No, it does, it’s very helpful. I appreciate that.
Robert A. Whitman
Thanks, Joe.
Joseph D. Janssen – Barrington Research Group, Inc.
I’ll jump back in queue.
Robert A. Whitman
Okay, thanks.
Operator
Our next question comes from the line of John Lewis of Osmium. Please proceed.
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
Hi, guys.
Robert A. Whitman
Hi, John.
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
I have a question for Steve. What percent of EBITDA should equate to free cash flow in just in a steady state environment, not obviously, you had some growth, but I’m just trying to get a feel for that?
Stephen D. Young
Okay, so in the slides, there is a package that I didn’t really refer to, but it’s slide number, page is number nine, which shows for the quarter and for the year, our net cash generated, which is our view of free cash flow. So if you, John it’s probably easier to talk about on a year basis.
So if you look at the four trailing quarters, we’re at $13.1 million to $13.2 million of net cash generated on between 21 and 22 adjusted EBITDA. So that’s kind of the relationship that you would see going forward.
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
I understand that. I guess my question is in a steady state environment, because I guess my understanding is business model that was going to become less capital intensive and you picked up the government contract, so that capital intensity has gone up.
I’m just trying to connect the dots to what a steady state EBITDA of the free cash flow ratio should look like if my understanding is the ratio has declined keeping this government contract in the revenue growth being taken up with the working capital?
Stephen D. Young
Well, the free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted, as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA will change, the percentage would change consistently as they both increase. I think it's the gap between the two that will remain consistent.
So as an example, just say that right now were relationship is for example $21 million of adjusted EBITDA to $13 million. If the $21 million goes up by $5 million to $26 million, then we'd expect the free cash flow to go up $5 million from $13 million to $18 million.
That percentage will be less, but it's like all of the increase in adjusted EBITDA is flowing through to free cash flow. Does that…

Hey, that's helpful. We can talk more offline about that, so I appreciate your insights there.
I guess my next question was in light of the success factors in Element K transactions in the fourth quarter, clearly there is a ton of demand out there from customers given their growth rates and the multiples that strategic buyers paid for these businesses, I’m just curious what is your strategic focus, you guys talked a little bit about it, but really to meaningfully drive this distribution channel with live [quick's] insights and another offerings and I’m just curious on what’s going on in that front?
Stephen D. Young
Maybe I’ll just respond to that John. Probably, a little different than some of the companies, I’m not saying whether it's better or worse, but it is different is that there are some companies who would pick the modality through which they're going to deliver their content, there's going to be a technology-based delivery mechanism where they are going to be a subscription service.
And then what they do is the best they can to deliver the results or whatever having shows in the modality. We have had a different view, which is more a continuum of delivery that would say that we want to be sure that those peoples who those customers who have picked the, if they want to pick modality, we want to make sure we can deliver in the modality.
But more often than not for us, we’re looking at a continued delivery that meets that who are, companies are engaging us to try to get some kind of a transformational result. And so for them, the result is the question, and they want to make sure that we can address that at a wide range of, in a wide range of ways.
And so what we’ve done is to draw this continuum has on one end, self-serve where they can buy this technology, and self-paced, the person can take it and that is great for many of their front-line employees. There may be middle level employees who are, because they are leaders, middle line leaders who will go through and want to have some onsite delivery with blended delivery to make as much impact as they can, but just feeling across lots of leaders.
And then at the top, they may want to have a very hands-on help, I mean which would be a fully, a premium service for us. And so I think what's happening, John, really for us is we are not per say, I know I recognize the move for those companies and it'll be greatest if they are able to maintain that, those multiples if the reality turns out to be as high as their multiples.
We will probably not be one of those companies that’s trying to just be a, pick a modality. On the other hand, if we can deliver for a major client across the range of modalities and really hit a, and make a big impact, for us the revenue per client is bigger; the revenue goes on for a long time.
And so for us, as we've said, we’ve moved the portion of our revenue that is technology-delivered or technology-assisted as part of the engagement has gone from roughly $7 million to roughly $40 million over the last three years really. And so for us, that's, that is only a very small portion of that is driven because we said, we want to find out how much technology stuff we can deliver.
There is about $6 million that’s been drive by that. But the rest of the growth has come from saying, what we want to do is have a strong value proposition that transforming a result and we’ve got a, and we’re platform agnostic, we want to design it, so it can be meet your needs.
It turns out that the way we had delivery options, we can meet any pricing competition. So for us, we don’t lose, we’re not losing deals to these who are only modality-driven because we with intellectual property sales or technology, so that we can compete head-to-head with them, but we’re playing a different game than they are, but very, obviously due to the fact that this technology investment allow us to be very scalable.
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
Got it.
Unidentified Company Representative
So I think we are continuing the investment every year in the technology side, we got a big focus on integrating everything, that we can, anything we can be delivered technologically; we want to make sure it's available. But rather than telling trying to sell the customer on modality, we want to sell them on the results and tell them that we have it available through any modality, does that help at all?
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
Yes, it's very helpful. And then I completely understand that.
I guess my, so basically what you're saying is clearly there's a lot of customer demand for the modality to be delivered some kind of online component if it’s a webinar clearly $7 million to $40 million. So there is the consumer demand.
I guess my next question is given the enormous growth rates and the interest out there just industry-wide do you have the right distribution to sell in with client partners or do you need more people in inside sales force, or how do you continue to grow the modalities that customers are interested in given the economics presumably are significantly better than consultant?
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah, and hey, it will take John just, we really do know consulting, just, we actually do not, about five years ago, we did have an organizational consulting group, we had about 20 people that we disbanded and sold off, so we actually do not…
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
Well, I was just…
Robert A. Whitman
Just to work with that, so perhaps it’s just a question on the continuum, do you want a premium service like I can get at Gartner. Gartner, they’re reporting every quarter on, and I’m very proud of the fact that any addition to the no hands on and self served model that they also have an increasing amount of businesses in the, there is a premium service that includes some, where they have a human being that’s involved, that’s how we see this.
So I just see this. Again in terms of the lines you’re looking to, we don’t visit many customers who are saying, I have the demand for online learning, what can you do for me, there are some.
More, they have an execution problem and they want to know how you can make this available for them across the range of their whole things. And so, for that question, our practice-led, the way we sale this is through adding sales people front-end, you mentioned some great point, which is increasingly we’ll have front-end marketing people on the phones and e-mail programs and so forth that are driving them to then that drives me to this pipeline.
But for us, if when we get people committed to solving a problem and then have the modalities available, so that whatever they want to do we can deliver at a cost, at a quality and cost that it is competitive with anybody who is primarily modality focused, that’s really our strategy and there is no lack of opportunity there. I mean, I think there are people like Element K, who’ve gone to sell, who are great companies, we love them and are selling them modality into the education space, but I wouldn’t, I don’t think, I don’t know that I’d trade their value proposition for ours in that space.
I think it’s a wonderful offering but when you are going into transform a school, it has allowed us to get to a more than we just crossed over our 700 school Shawn.
Shawn D. Moon
Yes.
Robert A. Whitman
And so I don’t know if that’s helpful.
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
That’s helpful I mean it’s fair, and then I appreciate the color and I’ll leave at that we can talk more offline, but I’ll leave it as…
Robert A. Whitman
But the really [in cycle] question though John would be delighted to…
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
No, no, no, I appreciate it. I guess just the point and value differences Element K got 47 times EBITDA two times sales just because they have the online learning component and I’m clear there is a lot of interest in the marketplace given the economics…
Robert A. Whitman
I think we need to do a better job John that explaining, I mean this is the first day that we’ve ever said we have $40 million of revenue that’s either technology delivered or technology assisted. And your point I think, if I understand, one of your points is, hey, fine you may have the strategy, but let's make sure people understand the extent to which you have this technology-based [delivered] because it gets a lot higher valuation if people understand that you've got the scalability, than if they think you're kind of a body shop, if there is a bunch of consulting, and we really need to do a better job of explaining that.
John H. Lewis – Osmium Partners, LLC
All right. I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Robert A. Whitman
Thanks John.

Our next question comes from the line of James DeYoung of Credit Suisse. Please proceed.
James DeYoung – Credit Suisse
Good afternoon, Bob and Steve.
Robert A. Whitman
Hi, Jamie, how are you?
Stephen D. Young
Hi.
James DeYoung – Credit Suisse
Doing well, thank you. I just had a couple of observations and questions.
The international licensee royalty were really nicely in the quarters, I think that was up 23% year-over-year.
Robert A. Whitman
Yep.
James DeYoung – Credit Suisse
If you kind of expand upon that a little bit, what percentage of revenue is coming from time management versus other products.
Robert A. Whitman
Great. And said this is Sean Covey so let me ask him to as you Sean heads up the International Licensee Effort.
M. Sean Merrill Covey
Hi, this is Sean, how are you?
James DeYoung – Credit Suisse
Hey, Sean how are you doing today?
M. Sean Merrill Covey
Good, thank you. Yeah, so our international partners the revenue primarily is right now coming from our leadership practice, which is about 74% of it.
So very little comes from time management about $5 million in total of the $75 million. So with the launch of this new productivity solution that we just spent last couple of years building we think this is a huge opportunity for us to get this going internationally.
So yeah, it's a small piece and that’s one of the big opportunities we have. They licensee network is pretty young relatively speaking and so like Franklin Covey direct many years ago, we kind of started with seven habits another leadership offerings and then began to grow to other practices.
They are kind of on the same trajectory, starting with seven habits other leadership solutions and so forth. And so again we think the opportunity is huge for productivity, time management and then also [other] offerings, execution and other practices.
Did that help?
James DeYoung – Credit Suisse
Yeah, that’s helpful. It leads to my next question, which is it’s seems like a lot of these new practices and products that you’ve developed over the last couple of years.
Really aren’t there infancy in terms of being introduced internationally. So when I look at and I greatly appreciate the visibility that you shared on the call with kind of where you hope to get to I think the $40 million in EBITDA exiting 2014 gets you around $2.50 a share in EBITDA.
But it’s hard for me not to think that that’s an incredibly conservative number, because I think you grew EBITDA as a company if almost 59% last year. And $24 million to $26 million this year suggests 14% to just under 24% EBITDA growth and when you layout the pipeline that you do.
And then you have you talk about in turn, I actually just scratching the surface, it seems to me that $50 million truly the number for 2014. And its one thing to be conservative and don’t want to miss numbers.
But it’s other thing to be so conservative that it’s hard to take you seriously. So, I’d challenge you to really get out there and put some numbers out there that are believable.
And the last question I had was can you expand a little bit on the sales performance practice that had a very good quarter extremely strong last four quarters, and give a better sense of kind of—what you think, the longer range kind of opportunity is to expand that offering.
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah, and Shawn do you want?
Shawn D. Moon
We think our path forward is going to be accelerated, as we continue to grow within our domestic offices and we’ve over the last couple of years, we’ve doubled the size of the sales force and doubled the size of the delivery force, and we’re seeing that start to bear fruit and that’s exciting. But in addition to that, during the same kind of main-streaming efforts with our licensee partners that are eager to have this and [therefore] have not had access to it.
So that includes a process of certification and it includes the process of ensuring that we have strict centerline and ensuring quality of delivery as we take this audits. It’s a little bit more skill based, and in some cases, a little more sophisticated and complex in some of other offerings.
And so there is some work to do there to ensure that we maintain the high standards of quality that we have. But we’re excited as we look forward with sales performance and our ability to scale that with our licensees.
M. Sean Merrill Covey
Yeah. Right now, we only have, this is Sean Covey.
Of our 35 partners, only one of them is doing anything significant right now with our sales performance practice, so a [very big] opportunity there. The allowance is very, very big there.
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah. So Jamie, to your point, obviously there are harder and easier ways to grow.
But one of the big, one of the easiest ways to grow is to get these centerline, these offerings expanded around the world, because each of them has a ton of potential. And so for us, in the last few years, we’ve been spending kind of getting everything counterfeit, here’s what the marketing event looks like, here’s what the product looks like, here’s what the translation is into your country, here’s the platform that allows you to easily scale this.
We’ve gone through the phase of working on joint contracts together, but we’re really, as I said, we stepped across this, we really stepped across the chasm on 5 Choices launch this fall. And we’ll continue just to say, look, we’re going to be worldwide from day one on the new productivity offering; we’re going to expand execution, we’ve got eight new countries right now involved in a big execution effort.
So to get them up to speed this coming year and then we’ll sell, divide into this and each year it will grow from there. And so, in addition to the organic growth, our intention is to accelerate.
So, we accept your challenge.
James DeYoung – Credit Suisse
I appreciate that. I’m just encouraged by all the opportunity you have in front of you.
One last question if I may. So, when you talk about selling internationally to places like Brazil or India and China, is more of the opportunity today taking one of your existing large customers like Marriott or (inaudible) and converting that business internationally into additional sales or is it more Greenfield opportunity at this point?
Robert A. Whitman
I understand, the way you pose the question I’d say it’s more Greenfield than it is expansion but there is big opportunity in both. What we’re looking in these countries, it's interesting in my last trip to India, every evening we had events with business people.
And of course you would have, you have a handful of those that are the U.S. companies end customers who came because they already know our offerings, already doing it.
There were many more who came because they knew the company, they knew Franklin Covey and they are aware of our top leadership, but were interested in the topic of execution or topics of enlightenment. So we're really doing, we have a global sales initiative that focuses on these truly global accounts and involves our team from our licensees, the team from our direct offices coordinated by Shawn Moon and Shawn Covey.
And they work together on a number of large global deals and those number, and the number that we're winning is going up a lot. And so there is a big opportunity for expansion on the globe, when we figure how to get that team works, and so there is, we know exactly how you handle that.
But still, really to any individual country business, it probably represents less than 10% of their business. They’re going out and getting the local companies and hitting those.
And so there is enormous numbers of accounts that are being addressed by the licensee network outside the U.S. so…
James DeYoung – Credit Suisse
All right, thank you very much.
Shawn D. Moon
Yeah, but it’s also doubled in the last year and a half, our number of global sales, global deals has doubled, and again, we think that’s a big opportunity, as we get the international partners to coordinate with the direct offices there in the U.S.
Stephen D. Young
And the nature of our offerings, they more strategically aren’t our solutions, they're more pervasive, they're going be across large organizations, which by nature, goes across boundary.
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah, then last, and just last point, and last we call Redwood council meeting, which is our Top-20 leaders, we invited, the person who made the buying decision for a large client in Europe before we had a, we now have a global deal to come over and kind of beat us up and tell us what we did well and what we didn’t do so well. Thankfully, it was mostly stuff, it was nice and did, most of the stuff that we did well, but we wanted to, we were in a push to what we need to do better, because we have a unique footprint.
Our global footprint is, unlike anybody else in our industry, we can actually limit these things. And so, as Shawn said, we doubled it, there is big opportunity for growth there, but I think the big of the two, much more of our growth would be driven by penetrating local markets and it will be just expanding, but we're going to work on both.
Thanks, Jamie. I know our time is about up for there are other questions, we’re happy of course to continue to extent you all.
Operator
Yes. Our next question comes from the line of Bill Gibson of Legend Merchant.
Please proceed.
Robert A. Whitman
Hey, Bill.
William Gibson – Legend Merchant Group, Inc.
Hi. You went over most of what I wanted to understand, but I do have one question, and it relates to Europe.
Are you seeing any impact from the problems there?
Shawn D. Moon
Europe, so far no, Europe is growing healthy. We’ve had problems in particular countries that had issues.
But generally so far we haven’t seen much impact. We had healthy growth in the first quarter; we had healthy growth last year.
We’ve had problems in the Middle East a little bit with Egypt obviously and Libya. But so far we haven’t felt it, we’re watching carefully for what’s going to happen.
But Europe is even younger than our presence in Asia and in Latin America. And so, we think there are big opportunities still in Europe and we’ve got to see an impact.
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah, what I think the real, probably the reason for that, Bill, is we all know the economy is not great in Europe, but we, as I, as we tell our own people, yeah, if we were GE or somebody who already has a 40% or 50% market share, then yeah, we probably ought to be affected by, the GDP of these countries will affect us. But with the competitive advantages we have and the small penetration we have, our job is to go out and take market share.
If the economy grows more slower, we just need to win greater market share. And so I think the world is having an impact, but our share of it's increasing in some of these countries and we are not feeling it.
William Gibson – Legend Merchant Group, Inc.
Good, thank you.
Robert A. Whitman
Thanks Bill. Any other questions?
Operator
Our next question comes from Joe Janssen of Barrington Research. Please proceed.
Joe Janssen – Barrington Research
Yeah, just one follow-up question. With these potential 19 new partnership agreements, where, like geographically, where are you seeing these opportunities?
Shawn D. Moon
Yeah, well, most of them, most of the world is already licensed, most of these are in Africa.
Joe Janssen – Barrington Research
Okay.
Shawn D. Moon
We got a new licensee down in South Africa, which is at the good side of economy, but most of it's in Africa, and Mongolia. We also see a lot of opportunity with some of our current partners that have maybe more territories than they can handle, and stripping off some pieces and giving more focus to particular countries.
But they are generally smaller economies. So the bigger opportunity is just penetration with the partners we already have in their home countries and in their satellite countries.
Robert A. Whitman
As Shawn said, I think the other is in the, so there's 19 new licenses that are in the smaller economies, we also have this opportunity, since two-thirds of our licensee revenue comes from just 35 of the 141 countries under license, this opportunity is either feel how to grow fast there or to find a way to work out a reasonable deal with our licensee partners where we do a win-win agreement where we get some of those countries back and it helps them and helps us, there is an opportunity for growing there too.
Joe Janssen – Barrington Research
For certain contracts like in terms of timing, like I mean…
Robert A. Whitman
I think Five-year license.
Joe Janssen – Barrington Research
You have agreed a certain amount of territory for X number of years, or is that all negotiated?
Robert A. Whitman
Now these tend to be five-year agreements, and so we have a chance to relook at this stuff and they have, there is a motivation on their part. If they're not willing to penetrate the country, they have to pay a minimum royalty payment in that country.
So it's a reasonable thing to say, you know what, you’ve been there for four or five years, can we agree on a plan so you penetrate country X, and if not, hey, you'll have to pay the minimum royalty payment for something you can’t form, so to speak, and we can get it back and get a team in place there that can grow it. And we’re aggressively pursuing doing that.
Shawn D. Moon
Yeah, just to give you a feel for this, most of our partners are $1 million to $5 million businesses. We’ve got a few that are a lot bigger, most are in the $1 million to $5 million range and so they’re thinking a lot of low-hanging fruit in terms of growing and penetrating a lot of these countries.
And getting from $1 million to $5 million, to $10 million to $15 million businesses, the opportunity and we can do that in many, many countries across the world over the next four, five, six years.
Robert A. Whitman
And that's where we have driven a lot of the growth as the small start-ups becoming, there, eight or ten of them have become pretty good size businesses, $5 million to $20 million businesses, that $5 million to $15million businesses, I guess, and they are now really gaining strength. So we’ve got plenty of opportunities to either get back or help them making investments necessary to grow in some of these ancillary countries.
Joe Janssen – Barrington Research
Now just for clarity, Bob, I just want to, you know, last quarter you referenced, increased visibility, or not visibility, but an acquisition strategy. Is this what you were referring to?
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah, I just mentioned there’d be opportunities to, I did mention in the last call that there would be some opportunities to help grow the licensee network. One, in some case you might have to, you might decide to reacquire a licensee in a country.
Joe Janssen – Barrington Research
Okay, just wanted to clarify that.
Robert A. Whitman
In other cases, you might find ways of providing some capital to help some of these licensees who are constrained by cap, where their growth is constrained not by opportunity, but by capital to try to figure out some wins. That’s what I was referring to last time is, you know, it’s not huge amounts of capital, and we’re not trying to become more capital-intensive, the small investments, a few hundred thousand here and there could add up to a couple a million dollars that could really help accelerate growth in some of these circumstances.
Joe Janssen – Barrington Research
I appreciate the color. Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of George Santana of Ascendiant. Please proceed.
George Santana – Ascendiant Capital Markets LLC
Hey, I’ll keep it quick considering the time. Considering the sales cycle and you’ve addressed this in a couple of different ways, but are you seeing a lengthening or a shortening of that sales cycle at all?
And a follow-up question, any guidance for the current quarter? Thanks.
Robert A. Whitman
Okay, thanks. I’ll let Shawn.
Shawn D. Moon
Yeah, I’ll speak to the sales cycle. We actually are seeing an acceleration of the sales cycle as a byproduct of our go-to-market strategy.
Bob talked about the event strategy. And one of the things that we know through our many years here is that, that when people have an opportunity to experience the content and not just get an intellectual understanding, but get an intellectual understanding and a visceral understanding of how this IP solves problems on the teams in the organizations and in their personal life, it does accelerate how they buy.
And Bob mentioned, the dramatic increase in the number of events is part of our go-to-market efforts this year over the last year, and so we're starting to see more activity.

And our last question comes from the line of Julian Allen of Spitfire Capital. Please proceed.
Robert A. Whitman
Hi, Julian.
Julian Allen – Spitfire Capital LLC
Hey, Bob, good afternoon.
Robert A. Whitman
How are you?
Julian Allen – Spitfire Capital LLC
Just switching gears for a quick, for one quick question, could you talk a little bit about your say, dual exposures to the legacy products business? I know and this is that on the balance sheet the third-party receivable is now up to about $6.4 million.
Could you give just a quick comment on a, how that business is doing and what the residual exposures are? B, they to the EDS sublease or other contracts?
Thanks very much.
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah, I can just, I’ll give you the headline thing, we’re happy to go into any detail, but you wants to do internal. But the short answer is the residual liability has gone down dramatically over the last few years.
They’re down to, the residual liability came in one of three forms, retail stores, they are now down to less than 12 stores left, and a year from now, they'll have no, essentially no stores remaining. And so that liability has gone from having 60 leases down to 12 to, that will be close to zero.
We had the second, which was the EDS warehouse agreement, we worked out a new deal with them and half of that liability is now resolved and we expect the rest of it to be resolved through the leasing out of the existing warehouse. And then the final area is just office space here, which is a relatively small exposure, I mean, it’s a small amount per year.
And we’ve had some good success at finding new tenants. So as a just general idea is that the liabilities shrunken down dramatically, the receivable that’s outstanding, we have allowed, they are payable to us to increase in certain time to allow them to get some of these things resolved whether they bought out of store lease and things like that.
Today, I think we received a $3 million payment or so from them which will significantly reduce that, so we’d expect that liability to continue to decline. This is the time of the year when they have the most cash of course.
The business generally is holding it’s own, Julian. They’ve – with restructuring and so forth it’s gone on they are basically on a basis where the – they’ll – they continue to generate around $3 million or so of positive cash flow and EBITDA.
There are no real big, say, we put in that just a steady state thing that eventually just continues to distribute out. And we get a share of that cash flow, starting about six months, it will further reduce that liability.
So I don’t know, Steve, if you have anything to that.
Stephen D. Young
No, all right, I agree, the balance we expect to be significantly lower one or the quarter – second quarter.
Robert A. Whitman
Yeah. And a year from now Julian, we would expect to have essentially no balance outstanding just current – just 30-day balances between the companies who step we buy from them et cetera.
So that that risk we never view it as a huge risk, but whatever it was before as much, much smaller now, we think it will be essentially joining it from now.
Julian Allen – Spitfire Capital LLC
Terrific. Thank you very much.

Thanks, Julian. All right.
