Lion Street 2019 Annual Report FINAL - Flipbook - Page 6

FINANCIAL RESULT S
2019 was a watershed year for Lion Street. We completed the recapitalization of
the Company, which put all stockholders in common stock, and we reduced thirdparty ownership of the Company. Producer-Owners now own 47% of the Company.
Financially, Lion Street had yet another record-breaking year with results exceeding
budget. Your Company exceeded its budget across all key financial metrics — life
premium, revenue, EBITDA and net income. In 2019, Lion Street exceeded $80 million
in gross revenue. Furthermore, your Company outpaced its five-year plan instituted
this fiscal year, and our growth rates remain well above industry averages. Lion Street
maintains a healthy cash position entering into 2019 to service the debt associated
with the recapitalization.
As we move into 2020, management continues to be focused on driving value for its
stockholders. Your investment as an Owner in Lion Street has grown significantly over
the last six years, with the value of the common stock growing from $0.30 to $3.35
per share. We will be obtaining a new valuation of the Company within the next 90
days, and given the outstanding 2019 financial results, management expects another
significant uptick in the value of the common stock.
