Operational and Financial Highlights:
Commentary and Outlook
Joseph J. Orlando Chief Executive Officer, stated, “In Q4, parts of the business rebounded, while other areas set quarterly records. After two down quarters, our PCGS US vintage services rebounded to around the same level achieved in Q4 of 2017, which represented a record fourth quarter performance for the service. Hong Kong and Paris established new record quarterly and annual revenues and total international coin service revenue, which also includes our Shanghai office, achieved record levels for the year. Furthermore, PSA and PSA/DNA finished with another record performance for the quarter and year, making fiscal 2018 its eighth consecutive year of top and bottom line growth.”
Orlando continued, “During the winter months, Collectors Universe instituted an Action Plan, which included a restructuring of the organization. This plan will produce nearly $2 million in annualized savings. As part of that plan, we have been working hard to improve our efficiency by blending our operation into a more cohesive unit during the past two quarters. I am happy to report that we have made great progress on this project. This means we can now move the operational capacity to where the need is, which gives us better flexibility to cope with changes in the markets we serve.”
“Some of these markets remain soft, such as the US modern coin market, which has been hampered by a combination of poor sales figures at the Mint and depressed precious metals activity. Other markets, however, have returned to expected levels and beyond. The PCGS US vintage and show services have performed well in recent months as a result, while our PSA and PSA/DNA business has continued its brisk pace into the summer months. In addition, PSA and PSA/DNA are following in the footsteps of PCGS by beginning the process of international expansion. We established a legal entity in Japan as of July 2 and have signed an agreement with Shanghai Ruika, the largest trading card distributor in China, to become our first official submission center in the region. This will enable us to start building our brand overseas in a more meaningful way.”
“Our modern coin business in China remains volatile as we are still in the early stages of building the market for our PCGS-certified product, but the vintage portion of our services has showed steady growth with each passing year. Regardless of the quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in performance, our PCGS management team is confident in the long-term potential the Chinese coin market offers.”

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information
This news release contains statements regarding our expectations, beliefs or views about our future financial performance and trends in our business and in our markets, which constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements can often be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "project," or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may."
Due to a number of risks and uncertainties to which our business and our markets are subject, our future financial performance may differ, possibly significantly, from expectations regarding our future financial performance that are expressed in, or that may be implied or inferred from the discussion of our operating results in this news release. Those risks and uncertainties, and their possible impact on our future financial performance, include, but are not limited to, the following: our continued dependence on our coin business which historically has generated more than 60% of our consolidated revenues and a substantial portion of our operating income, making our operating results more vulnerable to conditions that could adversely affect or cause stagnation in the prices of precious metals or reduce demand for and transactions in collectible coins; the risks that domestic or international economic conditions may deteriorate and lead to reductions in the demand for our collectibles authentication and grading services and, consequently, in our revenues and operating results; the risk that weakness or volatility in economic conditions or increases in interest rates in the United States or in the overseas markets where we operate will lead to longer-term changes in the spending habits of consumers or in the availability, costs and use of credit by smaller businesses, such as collectibles dealers, to fund purchases of collectibles, which could lead to longer-term declines in collectibles commerce and, therefore, in the demand for our services; the risks that claims under our coin and trading card authentication and grading warranties will increase substantially and that the warranty reserves we maintain for such claims will prove to be inadequate, which could cause our gross margin and operating results to decline or cause us to incur operating losses; the risk that our strategies of offering new services and expanding our collectibles authentication and grading business into new geographic areas, such as Europe and Asia will not be successful in enabling us to improve our profitability or may even cause us to incur significant losses; the risks and added complexity of conducting business overseas; the risk that it may become necessary for us to reduce the amount of, or suspend or discontinue the payment of cash dividends in the future, due to conditions or circumstances outside of our control, such as adverse economic or market conditions, as well as our future financial performance and the cash needs of our business in the future.
Additional information regarding these risks and other risks and uncertainties to which our business is subject is contained in Item 1A, entitled “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today and readers of this news release are urged to review the discussion of those risks and uncertainties in that Report. Also, our actual financial results in the future may differ from those currently expected due to additional risks and uncertainties of which we are not currently aware or which we do not currently view as, but may in the future become, material to our business or operating results. Due to these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this news release or in our Annual or Quarterly Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which speak only as of their respective dates. We also disclaim any obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained in this news release or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law or NASDAQ rules.
