Investment Highlights – Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2022

- ALJ recognized income from continuing operations of $105.9 million and net income per share from continuing operations of $1.93 (diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $6.8 million and net loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.16) (diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in net income from continuing operations is due to gains resulting from the Faneuil Asset Sale.

- ALJ recognized adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 261.4%, compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by lower volumes at Faneuil due to the Faneuil Asset Sale and to completion of customer contracts. ALJ recognized adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
- ALJ recognized net income from continuing operations of $85.4 million and net income per share from continuing operations of $1.56 (diluted) for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $13.4 million and net loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.32) (diluted) for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in net income from continuing operations is due to gains resulting from the Faneuil Asset Sale.

The decrease was driven by lower volumes at Faneuil due to the Faneuil Asset Sale and to completion of customer contracts, higher medical insurance claims under Faneuil's self-insurance medical plan, and the usage of more costly subcontract labor to supplement call center workforce.
Jess Ravich, Chief Executive Officer of ALJ, said, "We continue to refine our strategic review after monetizing most of our core assets and portfolio companies last quarter."

Results for Faneuil
Faneuil recognized net revenue of $57.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $72.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net revenue decreased $15.2 million, or 20.8%, mainly attributable to a $16.5 million reduction driven by the completion of customer contracts, somewhat offset by a $3.1 million decrease from new customer contracts and $3.4 million net increase from existing customer call volumes. Faneuil recognized net revenue of $68.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Faneuil segment adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to segmented adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.5 million, or 147.2%. The decrease was driven by lower volumes at Faneuil due to the Faneuil Asset Sale and to completion of customer contracts. Faneuil recognized segment adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Faneuil recognized net revenue of $200.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $243.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Net revenue decreased $42.2 million, or 17.4%, mainly attributable to a $56.8 million reduction driven by the completion of customer contracts, somewhat offset by a $12.4 million net increase in existing customer call volumes and $3.7 million from new customer contracts.
Faneuil segment adjusted EBITDA loss was $0.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to segmented adjusted EBITDA of $12.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $13.2 million, or 106.6%. The decrease was driven by lower volumes at Faneuil due to the Faneuil Asset Sale and to completion of customer contracts, higher medical insurance claims under Faneuil's self-insurance medical plan, and the usage of more costly subcontract labor to supplement call center workforce.
Faneuil estimates its net revenue for the three months ending September 30, 2022 to be in the range of $33.5 million to $36.0 million, compared to $46.1 million, on a pro forma basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Faneuil contract backlog expected to be realized within the next twelve months as of June 30, 2022 was $77.6 million, compared to $89.5 million as of March 31, 2021 and $60.6 million as of March 31, 2022, 2021, on a pro forma basis. Faneuil's total contract backlog as of June 30, 2022 was $121.0 million as compared to $140.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and $105.4 million as of March 31, 2022, on a pro forma basis. The decrease in total Faneuil backlog from June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the loss of contracts offset slightly by new business.
Results for Phoenix
As a result of the Phoenix Sale, Phoenix results of operations were classified as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. ALJ reported a gain on the sale of Phoenix during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In our earnings releases, prepared remarks, conference calls, presentations, and webcasts, we may present certain adjusted financial measures that are not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to complement the GAAP financial information presented in this release because management believes they present information regarding ALJ that is useful to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measure.
We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our company. ALJ defines segment adjusted EBITDA as segment net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, litigation loss, recovery of litigation loss, restructuring and cost reduction initiatives, loan amendment expenses, fair value of warrants issued in connection with loan amendments, stock-based compensation, acquisition/disposition-related expenses, gain on disposal of assets, net, income taxes, loss on debt extinguishment, asset impairments, and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure for comparison. Below are reconciliations of our net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to consolidated adjusted EBITDA:
