CINCINNATI - February 12, 2015 - Vantiv, Inc. (NYSE: VNTV) (“Vantiv” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2014. Revenue increased 31% to $733.8 million in the fourth quarter as compared to $558.4 million in the prior year period. Net revenue increased 30% to $402.2 million in the fourth quarter as compared to $308.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to strong growth in our Merchant Services segment. On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Vantiv, Inc. was $68.6 million or $0.35 per diluted share in the fourth quarter as compared to $42.8 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income increased 16% to $105.1 million in the fourth quarter as compared to $90.4 million in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income per share increased 18% to $0.53 in the fourth quarter as compared to $0.45 in the prior year period. (See Schedule 2 for pro forma adjusted net income and Schedule 6 for GAAP net income reconciliation to pro forma adjusted net income.)

For full-year 2014, revenue increased 22% to $2,577.2 million as compared to $2,108.1 million in the prior year. Net revenue increased 20% to $1,402.5 million in 2014 as compared to $1,172.6 million in the prior year, primarily due to strong growth in our Merchant Services segment. On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Vantiv, Inc. was $125.3 million or $0.75 per diluted share in 2014 as compared to $133.6 million or $0.87 per diluted share in the prior year. Pro forma adjusted net income increased 16% to $372.4 million in 2014 as compared to $320.5 million in the prior year. Pro forma adjusted net income per share increased 20% to $1.87 in 2014 as compared to $1.56 in the prior year. (See Schedule 2 for pro forma adjusted net income and Schedule 7 for GAAP net income reconciliation to pro forma adjusted net income.)

“We delivered strong results for 2014, including completing our strategic acquisition of Mercury, expanding organic growth throughout the year, and leveraging our strengths in security, EMV and omni-channel to win new business,” said Charles Drucker, president and chief executive at Vantiv. “During 2015, we will press our advantages in order to continue to win market share as well as to drive superior returns.”

Merchant Services

Merchant Services net revenue increased 41% to $318.0 million in the fourth quarter as compared to $225.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a 30% increase in transactions and an 8% increase in net revenue per transaction. On a full-year basis, net revenue increased 27% to $1,066.6 million as compared to $837.7 million in the prior year, primarily due to a 22% increase in transactions and a 4% increase in net revenue per transaction. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, net revenue growth expanded 8% on an organic basis for the fourth quarter over the prior year period. This was primarily due to increased new business as well as the company's expansion in high growth channels and verticals, including Integrated Payments, eCommerce and Merchant Bank. Sales and marketing expenses were $107.8 million in the fourth quarter as compared to $73.2 million in the prior year period and $368.0 million for the full-year as compared to $286.2 million in the prior year.

Financial Institution Services

Financial Institution Services net revenue increased 1% to $84.1 million in the fourth quarter as compared to $83.1 million in the prior year period as a 6% increase in transactions was partially offset by lower net revenue per transaction. In addition to improved net revenue growth, new sales signings improved in the fourth quarter. On a full-year basis, net revenue was up modestly to $336.0 million as compared to $334.9 million in the prior year, primarily due to a 6% increase in transactions, partially offset by lower net revenue per transaction. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $8.4 million in the fourth quarter as compared to $6.9 million in the prior year period and to $28.4 million for the full-year from $25.8 million in the prior year.

(many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual future performance or results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Certain of these factors and other risks are discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to adapt to developments and change in our industry; (ii) competition; (iii) unauthorized disclosure of data or security breaches; (iv) systems failures or interruptions; (v) our ability to expand our market share or enter new markets; (vi) our ability to identify and complete acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships; (vii) failure to comply with applicable requirements of Visa, MasterCard or other payment networks or changes in those requirements; (viii) our ability to pass along fee increases; (ix) termination of sponsorship or clearing services; (x) loss of clients or referral partners; (xi) reductions in overall consumer, business and government spending; (xii) fraud by merchants or others; (xiii) a decline in the use of credit, debit or prepaid cards; (xiv) consolidation in the banking and retail industries; (xv) the effects of governmental regulation or changes in laws; and (xvi) outcomes of future litigation or investigations.

(1) Non-operating income (expense) for the three months ended December 31, 2014 relates to a benefit recorded as a result of a reduction in certain tax receivable agreement ("TRA") liabilities, partially offset by the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014. The full year 2014 amount includes these items as well as expenses relating to the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities in June 2014. The 2013 amount relates to the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities in May 2013.
(2) Due to our structure as a C corporation and Vantiv Holding's structure as a pass-through entity for tax purposes, the numerator in the diluted net income per share calculation is adjusted to reflect our income tax expense at an expected effective tax rate assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of our Class A common stock. The expected effective tax rate for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was 36.5% compared to 38.5% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The components of the diluted net income per share calculation are as follows:

Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures
This schedule presents non-GAAP and pro forma financial measures, which are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
Pro forma adjusted net income is derived from GAAP net income, adjusting for the following items: (a) amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions and the write down of a trade name in June 2014; (b) non-operating income (expense) is primarily associated with the refinancing of our debt in 2014 and 2013, a benefit recorded as a result of a reduction in certain TRA liabilities in 2014, and the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in 2014; (c) adjustments to income tax expense assuming conversion of the Fifth Third Bank non-controlling interests into shares of Class A common stock; (d) share-based compensation; (e) acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, costs associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and charges related to employee termination benefits; and (f) tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements.
 
(1) See schedule 8 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA.
(2) Represents income tax expense at an effective rate of 36.5% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 and 38.5% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013, assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above.
(3) Represents tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements.
(4) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (2) above, associated with a consolidated joint venture formed in May 2014.
(5) Pro forma adjusted net income assumes the conversion of non-controlling interests into shares of Class A common stock.
(6) Pro forma adjusted net income per share is calculated as pro forma adjusted net income divided by adjusted shares outstanding.

Pro Forma Financial Measures
This schedule presents pro forma financial measures, which are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
 
(1) Represents acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, costs associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and charges related to employee termination benefits.
(2) Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions.
(3) Represents non-operating income (expense) relating to a benefit recorded as a result of a reduction in certain TRA liabilities, partially offset by the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014.
(4) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (5) below, associated with a consolidated joint venture formed in May 2014.
(5) Represents adjustments to income tax expense to reflect an effective tax rate of 36.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 38.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2013, assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above.
(6) Represents tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements.
