HOUSTON, July 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics plc (Nasdaq:CATM) (“Cardtronics” or the “Company”), the world’s largest ATM owner/operator, today announced its financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Key financial statistics in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015 include:

  • Total revenues of $324.0 million, up 7% from $303.7 million (9% on a constant-currency basis).
  • ATM operating revenues of $311.3 million, up 9% from $285.4 million (11% on a constant-currency basis).
  • Gross margin of 35.1%, up from 34.0% in 2015.
  • GAAP Net Income of $20.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to GAAP Net Income of $15.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of $0.80, up 13% from $0.71.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $81.7 million, up 10% from $74.0 million.
  • Cash flows from operating activities of $79.9 million, up 43% from $55.7 million.

“We had a solid second quarter, with our core ATM operating revenues up approximately 11% on a constant-currency basis, driven by near equal contributions from internal growth and acquisitions.  The quarter also showed healthy growth and balance between new ATM placements at retail locations and a record number of financial institutions signed to the Allpoint surcharge-free network. Looking forward, we remain confident about our growth opportunities,” commented Steve Rathgaber, Cardtronics’ chief executive officer.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Secured ATM operating contracts representing over 1,200 locations in North America and Europe. These wins included placements at college campuses, transit, and retail locations.
  • Entered into agreements with 29 new financial institutions, including Fifth Third Bancorp, a top 15 U.S. retail bank, for participation in our Allpoint Network, adding over 2.5 million cards that will seek surcharge-free ATM access to our network.
  • Secured an ATM off-premise outsourcing arrangement with TD Bank for 141 ATM locations in the U.S. and Canada.
  • Commenced operation of nearly 2,600 ATMs acquired from JPMorgan Chase in April 2016.
  • On July 1, 2016, Cardtronics completed its previously announced transaction to redomicile to the U.K.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Consolidated revenues totaled $324.0 million for the second quarter of 2016, representing a 7% increase from $303.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. ATM operating revenues were up 9% from the second quarter of 2015. Adjusting for movements in currency exchange rates, ATM operating revenues were up approximately 11% from the second quarter of 2015, driven by organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. The $5.7 million decrease in ATM product sales and other revenues in the second quarter of 2016 was attributable to the Company’s 2015 divestiture of the retail cash-in-transit component of its previously acquired Sunwin business in the U.K. Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues decreased correspondingly by $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2016.

ATM operating revenues in North America were up 8% for the second quarter of 2016, driven by acquisition growth. ATM operating revenues in Europe were up 5% for the second quarter of 2016 (11% on a constant-currency basis), driven mostly by organic growth.

GAAP Net Income for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $20.1 million, compared to GAAP Net Income of $15.0 million during the second quarter of 2015. The increase in GAAP Net Income for the second quarter of 2016 was the result of continued revenue growth, partially offset by incremental professional services costs of approximately $5.2 million associated with the Company’s redomicile of its parent company to the U.K. These costs are reported in the redomicile-related expenses category in the Company’s results from operations and have been excluded from the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $81.7 million, representing a 10% increase over the $74.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted Net Income totaled $36.8 million ($0.80 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $32.3 million ($0.71 per diluted share) during the second quarter of 2015. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income were primarily driven by the Company’s revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are detailed in a reconciliation included at the end of this press release.

SIX MONTH RESULTS

Consolidated revenues totaled $627.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing a 7% increase from $585.6 million in consolidated revenues generated during the same period of 2015. ATM operating revenues were up 11% from the six months ended June 30, 2015. Adjusting for movements in currency exchange rates, ATM operating revenues were up approximately 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, driven by organic growth and contributions from acquisitions. The $16.4 million decrease in ATM product sales and other revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was attributable to the Company’s 2015 divestiture of the retail cash-in-transit component of its previously acquired Sunwin business in the U.K. Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues decreased correspondingly by $14.9 million in the same period in 2015.

ATM operating revenues in North America were up 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, driven by a combination of recent acquisitions and organic growth. ATM operating revenues in Europe were up 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 (18% on a constant-currency basis), driven by a combination of strong organic growth and to a limited extent, acquisition-related growth.

GAAP Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $35.5 million, compared to GAAP Net Income of $30.2 million during the same period in 2015. The increase in GAAP Net Income for the six months of 2016 was the result of continued revenue growth and margin expansion, partially offset by incremental professional services costs of approximately $11.3 million associated with the Company’s redomicile of its parent company to the U.K. These costs are reported in the Company’s results from operations under the redomicile-related expense category and have been excluded from the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $154.9 million, representing a 9% increase from the same period in 2015. Adjusted Net Income totaled $68.1 million ($1.49 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $61.4 million ($1.36 per diluted share) during the same period in 2015. The increases in both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income were primarily due to the same factors discussed above, including the Company’s revenue growth and margin improvement relative to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

2016 GUIDANCE

The Company is updating the financial guidance it provided in April 2016 regarding its anticipated results for the full year 2016 results:

  • Revenues of $1.25 billion to $1.27 billion;
  • Gross Profit Margin of 35.0% to 35.5%;
  • GAAP Net Income of $87 million to $91 million;

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Free Cash Flow, and Revenue on a constant-currency basis are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to results prepared in accordance with U.S. 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 certain notable, and/or certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods (if applicable in a particular period), and 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 stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, certain non-operating expenses, certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods (if applicable in a particular period), gains or losses on disposal of assets, the Company’s obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense, and other obligations such as capital expenditures, and includes an adjustment for noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted Net Income represents net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, before amortization of intangible assets, gains or losses on disposal of assets, stock-based compensation expense, certain other expense amounts, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, certain non-operating expenses, and certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods (if applicable in a particular period). Adjusted Net Income is calculated using an estimated long-term, cross-jurisdictional effective cash tax rate of 32.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, with certain adjustments for noncontrolling interests. Related to guidance in future periods in 2016 and in conjunction with the Company’s recently announced redomicile to the U.K., the Company has used its expected GAAP tax rate for the remainder of 2016 in calculating the effective tax rate for Adjusted Net Income for the periods from July 2016 through December 2016. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by weighted average 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 for example, mandatory principal payments on portions of the Company’s long-term debt. Management calculates Revenue on a constant-currency basis using the average foreign exchange rates applicable in the corresponding period of the previous year and applying these rates to foreign-denominated revenue of the current period. The difference between revenue calculated based on these foreign exchange rates and revenue calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP is referred to as the foreign exchange impact on revenue. Management uses Revenue on a constant-currency basis to eliminate the effect foreign currency has on comparability between periods.

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 U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are presented in tabular form at the end of this press release.
