Good Morning, my name is Stu Hixon and for the past four years I have had the honor and privilege of representing you as the USA Swimming Treasurer. As all my previous talks about the financial review, it is my hope that I make this as painless for y’all as possible.

What I’m going to do today is to first discuss the final 2015 and preliminary 2016 financial results, and then discuss the proposed 2017 USA Swimming budget and hopefully get it passed by this body.

This year, you have seen the 2020 Quad plan for USA Swimming and this is the plan for how USA Swimming is going to operate through the Olympics in Tokyo and the end of 2020. Although it looks like a four year budget, I can assure you it is NOT. It is a “living document” that serves as a guide to where USA Swimming sees itself going over the next four years. What we will do this year is to simply pass the budget for the first year of that 2020 Quad plan…that being the budget for 2017.

Now, as for the 2016 Treasurer’s report. If I’ve learned anything from my four years of service on this Board, not everyone likes to listen to me talk…even fewer when I start throwing numbers about. Therefore, I’m not going to do that. I’m just going to talk about the highlights of how things ended up in 2015 and where we are thus far in 2016.

The report of how things ended up in 2015 couldn’t be more positive. We ended the year with actual operating results that were almost $1.5MM better than the budget. Although revenues were down slightly for the year, where the improvement really took shape was a large decrease in the actual expenses for the year as compared to the budgeted expenses.

For 2016, we are tracking with the budget that was approved last year, although there are a few variances in individual line items. Our membership numbers for 2016 were down slightly, and as we budgeted for a 2% increase, this did put some strain on the budget. In addition we received less USOC support than was budgeted and our medal money will also be over budget…something we NEVER complain about. All that being said, we are cautiously optimistic that the revenue for the 2016 Trials Joint Venture will be above budget and will help to offset these numbers. At year end, and without any surprises, we should come in very close to our budget that was passed last year at this meeting. This means, if things don’t change, there will be an Operating surplus for the Quad of approximately $2.5MM!!!

Moving on to the 2017 budget, again, I’ve learned everyone would rather hear from me rather than have to look at the big screens with lots of numbers. The proposed Budget has been posted on the USA Swimming website, there was the opportunity to come Thursday afternoon to a Budget discussion and ask questions about the budget, and there were handouts of the Treasurer’s letter and the budget outside the doors this morning. Therefore, what I’m going to do is use a 30,000 foot view in my discussion of the proposed budget today.

The 2017 budget and the new 2017-2020 Quad Plan that has been suggested by the Staff, approved by the Executive Committee and the Board, and has been presented to you today is something that provides MAXIMUM IMPACT to the programs that support members and clubs for 2017 and BEYOND. They both serve to achieve USA Swimming’s goals of Build, Promote, and Achieve.

So what does all this mean as far as a bottom line as we begin the new 2020 Quad? The proposed budget for 2017 shows an Operating

Loss of $501,200. As I have reminded all of you over the past four years, budgeting one year (or more) of our Quad does not have bad connotations. Rather it is how things in previous Quads have been, and even with Operating Losses in the 2020 Quad Business plan contemplated in 2017, 2018, and 2019, the Operating Surplus being planned for in 2020 actually makes the Quad a break-even proposition for USA Swimming.

I want to again thank all of you for your time and open the floor to any questions.

Questions

Now that we have hopefully answered everyone’s questions, I would like to ask for a Motion from the Floor to pass the 2017 Budget….may I have a Second….All In favor…Opposed

In closing, thank you for the opportunity that has allowed me to serve you as Treasurer of USA Swimming for the past four years. I also want to give a big thank you to Jim Harvey and his fantastic staff for making my job so much easier than I thought it would be. Also, I can’t forget to thank the rest of USA swimming staff and the Board for the support I’ve received over the last four years.
