Company Raises Guidance and Announces Quarterly Dividend
WESTLAKE, Texas, Nov. 6, 2013/PRNewswire/ – Solera Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SLH), a leading global provider of software and services to the automobile insurance claims processing and decision support industries, today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Results for the First Quarter Ended September 30, 2013:
GAAP Results
• | Revenue for the first quarter was $218.0 million, an 11.4% increase over the prior year first quarter revenue of $195.7 million. After adjusting for changes in foreign currency exchange rates (“FX Changes”), revenue for the first quarter increased by approximately 10.5% over the prior year first quarter revenue; |
• | Net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. for the first quarter was $13.7 million, a 59.3% decrease over the prior year first quarter net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. of $33.6 million, which is primarily attributable to an increase in certain expenses described below; |
• | Diluted net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share for the first quarter was $0.20, a 58.3% decrease over the prior year first quarter diluted net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share of $0.48, which decrease is primarily related to the decrease in net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. |
“We are off to a good start to fiscal 2014. Our revenue, Adjusted EBITDA margin and cash EPS were all above consensus. Our constant currency revenue growth came in at 10.5% and we delivered a 42.0% Adjusted EBITDA margin," said Tony Aquila, Solera's Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "These results reflect the early stages of a recovery in some of our European markets and demonstrate the effectiveness of our LDD (Leverage-Diversify-Disrupt) strategy, including strong performance from our newly-formed Driver Behavior platform and contributions from recently-acquired businesses. Based on our first quarter momentum and our outlook for the rest of the year, we have raised guidance, and continue to have a positive view on executing Phase 1 of Mission 2020.”

Net Income Attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc.:
The 59.3% decrease in net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. was primarily attributable to an increase stock-based compensation expense, an increase in acquisition-related costs resulting from recently completed acquisitions and additional interest expense resulting from the issuance of $850 million of additional senior unsecured notes in July 2013.
Fiscal Year 2014 Outlook:
We are updating our previously issued outlook for our full fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 as follows:
Previous Fiscal Year 2014 Outlook | Current Fiscal Year 2014 Outlook | |||
Revenues | $882 million — $890 million | $898 million — $906 million | ||
Net Income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. | $44 million — $51 million | $50 million — $57 million | ||
Adjusted EBITDA | $360 million — $367 million | $366 million — $373 million | ||
Adjusted Net Income | $158 million — $164 million | $167 million — $173 million | ||
Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share | $2.28 — $2.35 | $2.41 — $2.48 | ||
The current fiscal year 2014 outlook above assumes constant currency exchange rates from those currently prevailing, no acquisitions of businesses, no repurchases of our common stock and an assumed 26% tax rate to calculate Adjusted Net Income.
Exchange rates between most of the major foreign currencies we use to transact our business and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly over the last few years and we expect that they will continue to fluctuate. The majority of our revenues and costs are denominated in Euros, Pound Sterling, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and other international currencies. The following table provides the average quarterly exchange rates for the Euro and Pound Sterling since the beginning of fiscal year 2013:
Period | Average Euro-to- U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate | Average Pound Sterling-to-U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate | ||||||
Quarter ended September 30, 2012 | $ | 1.25 | $ | 1.58 | ||||
Quarter ended December 31, 2012 | 1.30 | 1.61 | ||||||
Quarter ended March 31, 2013 | 1.32 | 1.55 | ||||||
Quarter ended June 30, 2013 | 1.31 | 1.54 | ||||||
Quarter ended September 30, 2013 | 1.32 | 1.55 | ||||||
During the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, the movement of the U.S. dollar against most major foreign currencies we use to transact our business was mixed. Relative to the Euro, the average U.S. dollar weakened by 5.9%, which increased our revenues and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 relating to the Euro markets in which we transact business. In contrast, the average U.S. dollar strengthened versus the Pound Sterling by 1.9%, which decreased our revenues and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 relating to the United Kingdom. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we transact our business would have resulted in an increase or decrease, as the case may be, to our revenues of $7.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
All percentage amounts and ratios were calculated using the underlying data in whole dollars. We measure constant currency, or the effects on our results that are attributable to FX Changes, by measuring the incremental difference between translating the prior period and the current results at the monthly average rates for the same period from the prior year. When we refer to consensus, we mean the consensus results, on an actual currency basis, of certain analysts that cover us, as reported on Thompson First Call.
Quarterly Dividend:
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share of outstanding common stock and per outstanding restricted stock unit. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors also approved a quarterly stock dividend equivalent of $0.17 per outstanding restricted stock unit granted to certain of our executive officers since fiscal year 2011 in lieu of the cash dividend, which dividend equivalent will be paid to the restricted stock unit holders as the restricted stock unit vests. The dividends are payable on December 3, 2013 to stockholders and restricted stock unit holders of record at the close of business on November 20, 2013.
Earnings Conference Call:
We will host our first quarter ended September 30, 2013 earnings call today at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) – November 6, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use a number of non-GAAP financial measures that are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations, but are provided because management believes that they provide additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to facilitate the evaluation of our business on a comparable basis to other companies. The three primary non-GAAP financial measures that we use are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share are useful to investors in providing information regarding our operating results. We rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation and bonus plans. Adjusted EBITDA also allows us to compare our current operating results with corresponding prior periods as well as to the operating results of other companies in our industry. We present Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share because we believe both of these measures provide useful information regarding our operating results in addition to our GAAP measures. We believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share provide investors with valuable insight into our profitability exclusive of unusual adjustments, and provide further insight into the cash impact resulting from the different treatments of goodwill for financial reporting and tax purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net income per share and other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share should not be considered as a replacement for net income. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share as supplemental information.
• | Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc., excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) restructuring charges, asset impairments, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, (vi) other (income) expense, net, (vii) litigation related expenses, and (viii) acquisition and related costs. Acquisition and related costs include legal and professional fees and other transaction costs associated with completed and contemplated business combinations and asset acquisitions, costs associated with integrating acquired businesses, including costs incurred to eliminate workforce redundancies and for product rebranding, and other charges incurred as a direct result of our acquisition efforts. These other charges include changes to the fair value of contingent purchase consideration, acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the completion of the purchase price allocation, purchase price that is deemed to be compensatory in nature, incentive compensation arrangements with continuing employees of acquired companies and gains and losses resulting from the settlement of a pre-existing contractual relationship with an acquiree. Acquisition and related costs also include the legal and other professional fees associated with the Federal Trade Commission's investigation of our acquisition of Actual Systems and the divestiture of Actual Systems' U.S. and Canadian businesses. A reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the attached table. |
