EVERTEC REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO – May 6, 2015 — EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“EVERTEC” or the “Company”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

First-Quarter 2015 Highlights

 

    Total revenue of $91.3 million, representing an increase of 4.5% from the first quarter of 2014

 

    Adjusted EBITDA of $45.7 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 50.0%

 

    Income from operations of $27 million, an increase of 9% compared to same period last year

 

    Adjusted Net Income of $30.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share

 

    Repurchased $10 million, or approximately 450,000 shares of our common stock

Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated “We had a good start to the year driven by revenue growth across all of our business segments. EVERTEC has built a truly unique business, which serves attractive markets that offer significant opportunities. As the Company’s new CEO, my immediate focus is on ensuring we have the right assets and business processes in place to deliver revenue acceleration over time.”

First-Quarter 2015 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $91.3 million, an increase of 4.5% compared with $87.4 million in the prior year.

Merchant Acquiring net revenue was $20.1 million, an increase of 4% compared with $19.3 million in the prior year. Revenue growth in the quarter was driven by higher spread and transaction growth, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume in our gas station and utilities verticals reflecting a decline in oil prices.

Payment Processing revenue was $26.4 million, an increase of 5% compared with $25.2 million in the prior year. Revenue growth in the quarter was primarily driven by an increase in our ATH debit network and processing transactions, and accounts on file within our card products business.

Business Solutions revenue was $44.9 million, an increase of 5% compared with $42.9 million in the prior year. Business Solutions revenue growth was driven mainly by higher hardware and software sales as well as increased revenue from core banking services, partially offset by lower IT consulting services in the first quarter of 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, Adjusted EBITDA was $45.7 million, an increase of 1% compared with $45.2 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) was 50.0% compared with 51.7% in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by revenue growth, partially offset by a $1.7 million decline in other income reflecting lower foreign exchange gains as compared to the first quarter of 2014.


Net Income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, GAAP Net Income was $19.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared with $18.2 million or $0.23 per diluted share in the prior year.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, Adjusted Net Income was $30.3 million, a decrease of 5% compared with $32.0 million in the prior year. The decline in Adjusted Net Income was primarily driven by a $2.6 million increase in cash taxes, as well as the previously mentioned $1.7 million decrease in other income, versus the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share was $0.39 in the first quarter of 2015, compared with $0.40 in the prior year.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release presents EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share information. These supplemental measures of the Company’s performance are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of cash flows or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them important supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. 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. We use Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company’s overall profitability because it better reflects the Company’s cash flow generation by capturing the actual cash taxes paid rather than the Company’s tax expense as calculated under GAAP, and excludes the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation resulting from our 2010 merger involving an affiliate of Apollo Global management, LLC (the “Merger”). For more information regarding EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share, including a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income, see Schedule 4: Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Operating Results in this earnings release.

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 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, 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.
