HARTE HANKS REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

New York, NY - Harte Hanks (NYSE: HHS) today reported fourth quarter 2013 revenues of $152.2 million compared to $157.8 million in the same quarter last year, a 3.5% decrease.    The decline in revenues was primarily driven by a 13.6% decline in our Retail vertical due to  clients making mail format changes.  In addition, several of our clients in the technology industry continue to struggle, and this was reflected in our Technology vertical decreasing 4.3%.  These decreases were offset by growth in our Healthcare vertical of 26.0%, largely from supporting healthcare plan enrollment activities in the fall, as well as an increase of approximately 3.4% in our Automotive and Consumer brands vertical and 2.6% in our Financial vertical.   Select Markets, our smallest revenue vertical, declined 16.2% in the quarter.

Operating income for the quarter was $12.5 million compared to $21.1 million for the same quarter last year.  Included in the quarter were $1.6 million for severance, $1.4 million in consulting fees and $1.2 million for a legal settlement and related legal fees.  Adjusting for these charges, operating income would have declined 20.9% for the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.  Consistent with our third quarter, most of the margin decline came from business lines with labor costs that in the short-term do not vary in proportion to revenue changes.

Fourth quarter 2013 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.11 as compared to $0.19 for the same quarter in 2012. Excluding the previously mentioned severance, consulting and legal settlement charges, fourth quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.15 for 2013.

The following table presents financial highlights of the company’s operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Full financial results are attached.

Capital expenditures for the quarter were $3.1 million compared to $5.3 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter.

For the year, the company’s revenue was $559.6 million compared to $581.1 million last year. 2013 income from continuing operations was $24.4 million compared to $35.4 million for the same period last year.  The annual results reflect charges of $2.0 million for our second quarter Chief Executive Officer transition, a $2.8 million third quarter impairment and the previously mentioned fourth quarter charges of $4.2 million.  Excluding these items, 2013 income from continuing operations was $29.9 million compared to $35.4 million for 2012, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for 2013 were $0.48 compared to $0.56 for 2012.

Commenting on the fourth quarter performance, Chief Executive Officer Robert Philpott said, “Management focus has continued on structural re-organization and alignment of the business.  This is reflected in the actions and charges we have taken in both the third and fourth quarters. We also made some further progress on expense management towards the end of the year.

“We had anticipated that the deterioration in the business performance would accelerate in the fourth quarter, following a disappointing September.  However this proved to be too pessimistic a view on revenue.  We were encouraged by the revenue performance for most of our verticals in the fourth quarter, including the renewal rate for major client projects.  This bodes well for 2014.

“Although this is a time of transition at Harte Hanks, we remain confident that we have a fundamentally sound business and that we are developing a concrete plan to return the company to growth. We will continue to examine the expense base in the business aggressively which will, in turn, afford management the opportunity to invest in those markets which offer the potential for long-term growth.”

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In this press release and our related earnings conference call, the company intends to provide investors with a better understanding of operating results and underlying trends to assess the company’s performance and liquidity.  The company evaluates its operating performance based on several measures, including the non-GAAP financial measures of (1) free cash flow, defined as net income, plus depreciation and amortization, plus stock-based compensation (tax-effected), plus goodwill and other intangibles impairment (tax-effected) less capital expenditures, all of the aforementioned are from continuing operations and (2) EBITDA, defined as net income before interest, taxes, goodwill and other intangibles impairment, depreciation, and amortization.  The company believes that free cash flow and EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures for investors because they facilitate investors’ ability to evaluate the operational strength of the company’s business.  Free cash flow and EBITDA, however, are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and they should not be considered substitutes for net income as an indicator of operating performance.  A quantitative reconciliation of free cash flow and EBITDA to net income is found in the tables attached to this release.
