HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS REPORTS RECORD QUARTERLY EARNINGS


THIRD QUARTER ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE INCREASE 22%

All-time quarterly record New Margin Installed



Princeton, NJ - October 30, 2013 - Heartland Payment Systems, Inc. (NYSE: HPY), one of the nation's largest payment processors and leading provider of merchant business solutions, today announced Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share of $25.1 million and $0.66, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, up 14% and 22% compared with Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share of $22.0 million and $0.54, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. GAAP net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $22.0 million, or $0.58 per share, compared with $18.9 million, or $0.47 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures that are detailed later in this press release in the section “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”


Highlights for the third quarter of 2013 include:

Record Small and Mid-Sized Enterprise (SME) quarterly transaction processing volume of $19.6 billion, up 3.9% from the third quarter of 2012

Record quarterly Net Revenue of $153.2 million, up 9.5% from the third quarter of 2012

Operating Margin on Net Revenue of 22.8%, compared with 23.4% for the same quarter in 2012. The operating margin for the first nine months of this year was 21.1%, down slightly from 21.3% for the first nine months of last year

Same store sales rose 1.6% and volume attrition was 13.1% in the third quarter of 2013

An all-time record $18.5 million new margin installed, up 28% from the third quarter of 2012, with new card margin installed up 29% in the quarter

The combination of share-based compensation and acquisition-related amortization reduced earnings by $4.8 million pre-tax, or approximately $0.08 per share, compared with $5.0 million pre-tax, or $0.07 per share in the third quarter of 2012

Robert Carr, Chairman and CEO, commented, "Record results this quarter once again reflect the growing strength of the Heartland franchise and our ability to deliver true value for our merchants. This quarter we achieved record new margin installed, led by strong growth in our SME card business, as we continued to successfully add highly productive new relationship managers. The continued increase in new SME card margin installed is key to accelerating the rate of organic card net revenue growth. Non-card businesses such as Payroll, Campus Solutions and Micropayments also performed exceptionally well this quarter. And, we managed to achieve strong operating margins despite an increase in the level of investment spending incurred over the past three months. In a market that is in the midst of a wave of change, Heartland is responding with innovative new products and services that help improve our merchants' businesses, while creating value for our shareholders."

SME card processing volume for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was up 3.9% from the year-ago quarter to $19.6 billion, as new card margin installed grew 29%, same store sales rose 1.6% and volume attrition was 13.1%. Net revenue in the quarter increased 9.5% over the prior year, with steady growth in card processing, a more than doubling in Payroll, strong contribution from Campus Solutions and an 88% increase in Micropayments. Operating income in the quarter was a record $34.9 million. The operating margin was 22.8% of net revenue for the quarter, down from a year ago as savings from a reduction in the rate of general and administrative expense growth compared to the first half of the year were invested in new growth initiatives. In the aggregate, share-based compensation and acquisition related amortization expense reduced earnings by $0.08 per share in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $0.07 per share in the third quarter of 2012.

Mr. Carr continued. "Recent investments in Leaf and Tabbed Out, new partnerships with Bigcommerce in eCommerce, and the introduction of our innovative SaaS solution in Heartland School Solutions that helped us win the Chicago Board of Education contract, are examples of how our vision is driving an exciting transformation of our business in a constantly changing world. In contrast to the development of new standalone products and applications, we are taking an integrated view of the role technology can play in the evolving needs of the small to mid-sized merchant. And, our proprietary sales organization provides us with the industry's single largest network of qualified professionals who have earned the trust and confidence of merchants as not just a vendor, but as consultants who have their best interests at heart. This is why I feel Heartland has never been in a better position to capitalize on the tremendous growth opportunities unfolding before us, and to create significant value for our shareholders."

NINE MONTH RESULTS:
Adjusted net income from continuing operations and related earnings per share for the first nine months of 2013 were $67.6 million or $1.77 per share, respectively, compared with $58.6 million, or $1.45 per share, respectively, in the first nine months of 2012. Net revenue for the first nine months of 2013 was $450 million, up 13.1% compared with the first nine months of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, GAAP net income from continuing operations was $57.3 million or $1.50 per share, compared with $49.9 million, or $1.23 per share for the first nine months of 2012. Year-to-date 2013, share-based compensation and acquisition-related amortization expense have reduced net income by $10.3 million, or $0.27 per share, compared with $8.7 million, or $0.22 per share in the first nine months of 2012.

FULL YEAR 2013 GUIDANCE:
For full year 2013, we now expect Net Revenue to be between approximately $600 million and $605 million. Adjusted Earnings are expected to be between $2.30 and $2.33 per share, which is net of $0.37 per share of combined acquisition-related amortization and share-based compensation expense. Additionally, 2013 Adjusted Earnings will reflect an estimated $0.04 per share of proportionate losses on the consolidation of Leaf.

BOARD DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND; SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM UPDATE
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per common share payable December 13, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 22, 2013. In the third quarter, the Company utilized approximately $6 million in cash to repurchase approximately 158,000 shares at an average cost of $38.00 per share, raising the amount of cash used to repurchase shares to over $40 million so far this year. At the end of the quarter, approximately $64.6 million remained outstanding on the Company's existing repurchase authorization.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures And Regulation G Disclosure

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company provides additional measures of its operating results on a continuing operations basis, namely income from operations, operating margin, net income and earnings per share, which exclude acquisition-related amortization expense and share-based compensation expense. These measures meet the definition of a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that application of these non-GAAP financial measures is appropriate to enhance understanding of its historical performance as well as prospects for its future performance.

Use and Economic Substance of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in the Company's business, to assess its ongoing operating performance relative to its competitors, as certain industry competitors measure their operating results excluding acquisition-related amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, and to establish the Company’s operational goals and forecasts. Acquisition-related amortization expense and share-based compensation expense are excluded as non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results of existing and acquired businesses. Additionally, share-based compensation expense is an amount excluded from calculations of earnings per share used in measuring achievement of performance targets required for the vesting of certain performance-based share awards.

The following is an explanation of the adjustments that management excluded as part of its non-GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:
Acquisition-related Amortization Expense - This expense consists of the amortization of intangible assets such as customer relationships, software, non-compete agreements and merchant portfolios acquired through business combinations. The Company excludes acquisition-related amortization expense from its non-GAAP measures of income from operations, operating margin, net income and earnings per share primarily because:
Acquisition-related amortization expense is non-cash expense that the Company does not believe is reflective of its ongoing operating results, or contributions from its acquired businesses; and
The Company's acquisition activity has increased significantly in recent years, with the result that acquisition-related amortization expense has become more significant.
Share-based Compensation Expense - These expenses consist of costs related to the stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units, which the Company has granted its employees. The Company excludes share-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures of income from operations, operating margin, net income and earnings per share primarily because:
Share-based compensation expense is non-cash expense that the Company does not believe is reflective of ongoing operating results;
Share-based compensation expense is excluded from calculations of earnings per share used in measuring its achievement of certain performance targets required for the vesting of performance-based awards; and
The Company's use of performance-based share awards has increased significantly in recent years, with the result that reported share-based compensation expense can vary significantly from year to year, or quarter to quarter, in ways that may not be related to the underlying operating performance of the Company.
Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Non-GAAP income from operations, operating margin, net income and earnings per share that exclude the impact of acquisition-related amortization expense and share-based compensation expense may have limitations as analytical tools, and these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for GAAP financial measures, and should be considered only as supplemental to the Company's GAAP financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are:
Acquisition-related amortization expense and share-based compensation expense that are excluded from non-GAAP income from operations, operating margin, net income and non-GAAP earnings per share can have a material impact on GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per share.
Other companies may calculate non-GAAP income from operations, operating margin, net income and non-GAAP earnings per share that exclude the impact of similar expenses differently than the Company does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors - The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP income from operations, operating margin, net income and non-GAAP earnings per share that exclude the impact of acquisition-related amortization expense and share-based compensation expense in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors greater transparency to the information used by the Company's management for its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see the Company's results through the eyes of management. Additionally, the Company believes that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides enhanced comparability in its financial reporting. The Company further believes that providing this information better enables its investors to understand the Company's operating performance and underlying business fundamentals, and to evaluate the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to Regulation G, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 follows (in thousands except per share data):
