SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Consolidated revenues totaled $260.0 million for the second quarter of 2014, representing a 25% increase from $208.0 million in consolidated revenues generated during the second quarter of 2013. ATM operating revenues were up 24% from the second quarter of 2013, driven primarily by the Company's 2013 acquisitions, which accounted for approximately 17% of the 24% ATM operating revenue growth. The remaining 7% of ATM operating revenue growth was attributable to organic growth from new and existing merchants and financial institution customers. ATM product sales and other revenues increased $3.6 million and also contributed to the year-over-year increase in consolidated revenues. As the Company's ATM product sales generally produce lower margin revenues than its ATM operating revenues, the $3.6 million revenue increase from the second quarter of 2013 did not have a significant impact on the Company's profitability in the current quarter's results.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $64.9 million, compared to $53.9 million during the second quarter of 2013, and Adjusted Net Income totaled $27.4 million ($0.61 per diluted share) compared to $21.7 million ($0.49 per diluted share) during the second quarter of 2013. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share were primarily driven by the factors described above that impacted the Company's revenue growth. Specific costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are detailed in a reconciliation included at the end of this press release.

GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $14.0 million, compared to GAAP net income of $15.3 million during the same quarter in 2013. The slight decrease in GAAP net income from the second quarter of 2013 was attributable to increases in 1) acquisition-related costs; 2) amortization of intangible assets related to recent acquisitions, and 3) amortization of deferred financing costs and discount associated with the convertible senior notes entered into late last year. These cost increases were partially offset by an increase in gross margin attributable to higher revenues and an increase in other income.

SIX MONTHS RESULTS

Consolidated revenues totaled $505.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, representing a 25% increase from $405.7 million in consolidated revenues generated during the same period in 2013. ATM operating revenues were up 24% from the six months ended June 30, 2013, driven primarily by the Company's 2013 and 2014 acquisitions, which accounted for approximately 17% of the 24% ATM operating revenue growth. The remaining 7% of ATM operating revenue growth was attributable to organic growth from new and existing merchants and financial institution customers. ATM product sales and other revenues increased $6.1 million and also contributed to the year-over-year increase in consolidated revenues. As the Company's ATM product sales generally produce lower margin revenues than its ATM operating revenues, the $6.1 million revenue increase from the six months ended June 30, 2013 did not have a significant impact on the Company's profitability in the current quarter's results.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $121.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, representing a 19% increase over the $102.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2013, and Adjusted Net Income totaled $50.2 million ($1.12 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2014, up 26% on a per share basis from $39.7 million ($0.89 per diluted share) during the same period in 2013. The increases in both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income were primarily due to the same factors discussed above for the Company's quarterly results.

GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $23.6 million, compared to $24.8 million during the same period in 2013. The slight decrease in GAAP net income from the six months ended 2013 was primarily due to the same factors discussed above for the Company's quarterly results.

UPDATE OF FULL-YEAR 2014 GUIDANCE

The Company is updating the financial guidance it provided in May 2014 regarding its anticipated full-year 2014 results:

  • Revenues of $1.005 billion to $1.020 billion
  • Gross Profit Margin of approximately 33.0% to 33.5%;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $245.0 million to $248.0 million;
  • Depreciation and accretion expense of approximately $75.0 million to $76.5 million, net of noncontrolling interests;
  • Cash interest expense of approximately $18.5 million to $19.5 million, net of noncontrolling interests;
  • Adjusted Net Income of $2.28 to $2.32 per diluted share, based on approximately 44.9 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding; and
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $100.0 million to $110.0 million, net of noncontrolling interests.

The Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income guidance excludes the impact of certain expenses, as outlined in the reconciliation provided at the end of this press release. Additionally, this guidance is based on average foreign currency exchange rates for the remainder of the year of $1.70 U.S. to £1.00 U.K., $13.00 Mexican pesos to $1.00 U.S., $1.00 Canadian dollar to $0.90 U.S., and €1.00 Euros to $1.36 U.S.

LIQUIDITY

The Company continues to maintain a strong liquidity position, with $299.7 million in available borrowing capacity under its $375.0 million revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2014. In July 2014, the Company completed a private offering of $250 million of 5.125% senior subordinated notes due 2022. The majority of the net proceeds from this offering will fund our tender offer and retirement of the outstanding $179.4 million 8.25% senior subordinated notes due 2018. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.

The Company had $61.4 million in cash on hand at the end of the second quarter of 2014. The Company's outstanding indebtedness as of June 30, 2014 consisted of $179.4 million in senior subordinated notes due 2018, $287.5 million convertible senior notes due 2020 (of which $221.0 million is currently recorded as long-term debt on the balance sheet, which is being accreted up to the principal balance of $287.5 million over the term of the notes), $73.2 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility due 2019, and $0.6 million in equipment financing notes associated with its majority-owned Mexico subsidiary.

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in managing and measuring the performance of its business, including setting and measuring incentive based compensation for management. Management believes that the presentation of these measures and the identification of unusual, nonrecurring, or non-cash items enhance an investor's understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's business and provide for better comparability between periods in different years.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the Company's industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes acquisition-related expenses, certain other non-operating and nonrecurring costs, loss on disposal of assets, the Company's obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense and other obligations such as capital expenditures, and an adjustment for noncontrolling interests. Adjusted Net Income represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, before amortization of intangible assets, loss on disposal of assets, stock-based compensation expense, certain other expense (income) amounts, nonrecurring expenses, and acquisition-related expenses, and uses an assumed tax rate of 32% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, with certain adjustments for noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA %, Adjusted Pre-tax Income %, and Adjusted Net Income % are calculated by taking the respective non-GAAP financial measures over GAAP total revenues. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by average weighted diluted shares outstanding. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less payments for capital expenditures, including those financed through direct debt but excluding acquisitions. The Free Cash Flow measure does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on portions of the Company's long-term debt.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in tabular form at the end of this press release.
