"Our U.S. and international retail segments began the year with good momentum, growing first quarter transaction dollar volume 26% and 29% respectively," commented CEO Bill Tauscher. "In our U.S. retail segment, which accounted for 64% of adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating revenues grew 33% over last year's first quarter. This reflected strong sales of closed and open loop gift cards. International retail adjusted operating revenues grew 5%, or 19% on a constant currency basis, driven by sales of digital media products. In our incentives and rewards segment transaction dollar volume grew 294% primarily reflecting the acquisition of Parago, or 45% excluding 2014 acquisitions. Incentives and rewards, which generated 22% of worldwide adjusted operating revenues, grew its adjusted operating revenues 279%, or 47% excluding 2014 acquisitions. That brought Company-wide adjusted operating revenues to $164 million for the quarter, a 48% increase over the same period last year."
CFO Jerry Ulrich added, "Adjusted EBITDA grew 127%, higher than adjusted operating revenue growth due to expense leverage in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Excluding 2014 acquisitions, our adjusted operating revenues grew 27% and adjusted EBITDA grew 94%. First quarter adjusted net income grew 266% to $18.9 million and adjusted diluted EPS totaled $0.34, an increase of 240% over the first quarter of 2014. Excluding a reduction in cash taxes payable related to our 2014 spin-off from Safeway and the realization of acquisition-related net operating losses, adjusted net income grew 153% and adjusted diluted EPS grew 143%."

GAAP financial results for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014
- Operating revenues totaled $319.7 million, an increase of 37% from $233.1 million for the quarter ended March 22, 2014. This increase was due to a 24% increase in commissions and fees driven primarily by higher closed loop gift card sales; a 105% increase in program, interchange, marketing and other fees due to strong open loop gift card sales in the U.S. retail segment and growth in the incentives and rewards segment, reflecting the acquisition of Parago in late 2014; and a 36% increase in product sales primarily due to growth at Cardpool.
- Net income totaled $4.7 million compared to net loss of $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 22, 2014. The increase was driven primarily by a 37% increase in operating revenues and a $4.1 million non-cash contingent consideration credit related to the acquisition of CardLab, partially offset by higher operating expenses including amortization of intangibles and interest expense related to the acquisition of Parago.
- Earnings per diluted share was $0.08 compared to net loss per diluted share of $0.06 for the quarter ended March 22, 2014. Diluted shares outstanding increased 6% to 55.4 million due to the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards in the 2015 period as compared to the 2014 period in which diluted shares were the same as average shares outstanding because of the net loss in the 2014 period.
Non-GAAP financial results for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 (see Table 2 for Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures)
- Adjusted operating revenues totaled $164.4 million, an increase of 48% from $110.8 million for the quarter ended March 22, 2014. Excluding our 2014 acquisitions, adjusted operating revenues grew 27%, or 30% on a constant currency basis.
- Adjusted EBITDA totaled $27.2 million, an increase of 127% from $12.0 million for the quarter ended March 22, 2014. Excluding 2014 acquisitions, adjusted EBITDA increased 94%, or 99% on a constant currency basis.
- Adjusted net income totaled $18.9 million, an increase of 266% from $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 22, 2014. Excluding the impact of the reduction in cash taxes payable, adjusted net income was $9.6 million, an increase of 153% from $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 22, 2014. Adjusted net income grew faster than adjusted EBITDA primarily due to slower growth in depreciation as compared to adjusted EBITDA growth and a 210 basis point reduction in the first quarter 2015 effective tax rate on adjusted income before taxes as compared to 2014. The lower tax rate was due primarily to tax benefits from foreign rate differential resulting from jurisdictional mix of pre-tax income and lower operating losses of certain foreign subsidiaries for which we do not recognize an income tax benefit.
- Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.34, an increase of 240% from $0.10 for the quarter ended March 22, 2014. Excluding the impact of the reduction in cash taxes payable, adjusted diluted EPS increased 143% to $0.17.
