Fourth Quarter 2015 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $95.5 million, an increase of 2% compared with $93.5 million in the prior year.

Merchant Acquiring, net revenue was $23.4 million, an increase of 12% compared with $20.8 million in the prior year. Revenue growth in the quarter was driven by sales volume growth as well as the addition of the FirstBank merchant contract portfolio in the quarter.

Payment Processing revenue was $27.7 million or approximately flat when compared with the prior year. Revenue in the quarter reflected an increase in transactions processed over the ATH® debit network, a reduction related to the classification of FirstBank revenues in Merchant Acquiring and reduced revenues from contracts with the Puerto Rican government.

Business Solutions revenue was $44.5 million, a decrease of 1% compared with $45.0 million in the prior year. Business Solutions revenue declined in the quarter reflecting a decrease in hardware sales and reduced item processing revenues, both of which were partially offset by additional volumes in core banking.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, Adjusted EBITDA was $46.8 million, a decrease of 2% compared with $47.5 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) decreased 190 basis points to 48.9% compared with 50.9% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by a change in revenue mix, increased bad debt expense and increased expenses related to the Company’s card issuing product initiative.

Net Income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, GAAP Net Income was $21.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared with $12.5 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the prior year.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, Adjusted Net Income was $33.1 million, a decrease of 4% compared with $34.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of $0.44 was unchanged from the prior year.

Net cash provided by operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $160.2 million, an increase of 14% compared with $139.9 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by working capital improvements.

Share Repurchase

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 1.2 million shares of common stock at an average price of $16.95 per share for a total of $20.0 million. For the full year 2015, the Company repurchased a total of 3.0 million shares of common stock at an average price of $18.24 per share for a total of $54.9 million. As of December 31, 2015, a total of $20 million remained available for future use under the Company’s share repurchase program.

EVERTEC’s Board of Directors approved an increase and extension of the Company’s current stock repurchase program. The Board has increased the repurchase authorization by $100 million and extended the expiration to December 31, 2017. A total of $120 million is currently available for future use. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through an accelerated share repurchase program or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, business opportunities and other factors.

Change to Adjusted Net Income Definition

Historically, the Company deducted cash taxes paid in the period from Pre-Tax Adjusted Income to derive Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. Prospectively, the Company will deduct the GAAP tax expense applicable to Adjusted Income for purposes of calculating Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. Management believes this new measure of Adjusted Net Income provides a more accurate and comparable measure of operating performance and will use it to measure its performance.

To assist users with this change the Company has provided a retrospective quarterly reconciliation of the historical measure of Adjusted Net Income to the new measure for fiscal years 2013 through 2015 in a supplemental Schedule (Schedule 7).

2016 Outlook

The Company financial outlook for 2016 is as follows:

  • Total consolidated revenue between $373 and $380 million representing growth of 0 to 2%
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance of $1.57 to $1.64 representing a range of -2 to 2% as compared to $1.61 in 2015
  • Capital expenditures ranging between $35 and $40 million

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. For these reasons, management also uses these measures in part to assess its performance. In addition, the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the equivalent measurements contained in the Credit Agreement in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the senior secured leverage ratio. Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. Further, EVERTEC’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to related GAAP measures, including footnotes describing the specific adjustments, are provided in the attached schedules and in the Investor Relations section of the EVERTEC web site, www.evertecinc.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of EVERTEC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements preceded by, followed by, or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” and “plans” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may,” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results are forward-looking statements.

Various factors that could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those estimated by management include, but are not limited to: the Company’s reliance on its relationship with Popular for a significant portion of revenue; our ability to renew our client contracts on terms favorable to us; the effectiveness of our risk management procedures; our dependence on our processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent-payment-detection systems, and the risk that our systems may experience breakdowns or fail to prevent security breaches or fraudulent transfers; our ability to develop, install and adopt new technology; a decreased client base due to consolidations in the banking and financial-services industry; the credit risk of our merchant clients, for which we may also be liable; the continuing market position of the ATH® network; reduction in consumer confidence leading to decreased consumer spending; the Company’s dependence on credit card associations; regulatory limitations on our activities, including the potential need to seek regulatory approval to consummate transactions, due to our relationship with Popular and our role as a service provider to financial institutions; changes in the regulatory environment and changes in international, legal, tax, political, administrative or economic conditions; the geographical concentration of the Company’s business in Puerto Rico; operating an international business in multiple regions with potential political and economic instability; increased compliance risks associated with operating an international business; operating in countries and counterparties that put us at risk of violating U.S. sanctions laws; our ability to execute our expansion and acquisition strategies; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel; our ability to comply with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements; evolving industry standards; the Company’s high level of indebtedness and restrictions contained in the Company’s debt agreements; and the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to service the Company’s indebtedness and to generate future profits.

Consideration should be given to the areas of risk described above, as well as those risks set forth under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the reports the Company files with the SEC from time to time, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company and its businesses generally. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless we are required to do so by law.
