First Data Reports Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results

 

·                  Third quarter 2012 consolidated revenue of $2.7 billion, down 2%; adjusted revenue of $1.7 billion, up 2%

·                  Third quarter net loss attributable to First Data $212 million; adjusted EBITDA of $608 million, up 8%

·                  Extended maturities on additional $3.1 billion in debt; total refinancings of $18 billion since June 2010

·                  Ended the quarter with $1.7 billion in unrestricted liquidity

 

ATLANTA, Nov. 2, 2012 — First Data Corporation today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Consolidated revenue for the third quarter was $2.7 billion, down $58 million, or 2%, compared to a year ago on a $73 million decline in debit network fees partially offset by an increase in merchant acquiring revenue. Debit network fees are passed directly to customers and therefore did not impact operating income. Adjusted revenue, which excludes certain items including debit network fees, increased $34 million, or 2%, year-over-year to $1.7 billion.

 

For the third quarter, the net loss attributable to First Data was $212 million, compared to a loss of $54 million a year ago. The change was primarily due to a $147 million pre-tax decline in other income and expense mainly from mark-to-market losses related to changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps. In addition, the prior year period included a $55 million pre-tax benefit to depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) was $608 million, up $44 million, or 8%, compared to $565 million in the third quarter of 2011, driven by revenue growth in the U.S. business and lower overall expense.

 

For the quarter, First Data generated $143 million in operating cash flow, after $500 million in cash interest payments. The company finished the quarter with $1.7 billion in unrestricted liquidity—$212 million in cash available for corporate use plus $1.5 billion under the revolving credit facility.

 

“First Data continues to grow, driven by global merchant acquiring growth and continued growth in adjusted EBITDA,” said Chief Executive Officer Jonathan J. Judge. “We are well-positioned to capitalize on the convergence of offline, online and mobile payments by bringing new products to market that address the changing needs of our customers.”

Segment Results

 

Retail and Alliance Services segment revenue for the third quarter was $910 million, up $62 million, or 7%, compared to $848 million in 2011. Merchant revenue was up 9% driven by lower debit interchange rates, new processing revenue from the Bank of America Merchant Services alliance and volume growth. Transaction growth was 5% and credit mix was 72%. Regional average ticket was $68, down slightly compared to a year ago. Product revenue was up 2% as growth in prepaid open-loop was offset by declining check-processing. Segment EBITDA was $409 million, up $55 million, or 16%, compared to 2011 driven primarily by revenue growth. Margin for the third quarter improved to 45%, up 300 basis points. During the quarter, Retail and Alliance Services added two new revenue sharing agreements, four bank referral agreements, and seven new independent sales organizations.

 

Financial Services segment revenue for the third quarter was $347 million, up $3 million, or 1%, compared to $344 million in the same quarter of 2011, as new business and volume growth offset lost business and price compression. Active card accounts on file were up 16% compared to the prior year, primarily driven by a new customer conversion during the first quarter of 2012. Absent this impact, active card accounts on file were up 4%. Debit issuer transactions were down 11%, impacted by a previously disclosed customer deconversion. Absent this impact, debit issuer transactions were up 12% on new STAR network business and continued growth from existing customers partially offset by lost business. Segment EBITDA was $149 million, down $6 million or 4%, compared to $156 million in 2011 which included the benefit of a $9 million sales tax recovery. Margin for the third quarter was 43%. During the quarter, Financial Services renewed more than 440 contracts with financial institutions.

 

International segment revenue for the third quarter was $427 million, down $26 million, or 6%, compared to $453 million in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, segment revenue was up 1%. Merchant acquiring revenue, on a constant currency basis, grew 7% on higher transaction volumes and growth in terminal sales in Latin America partially offset by exiting lower margin business. Issuing revenue, on a constant currency basis, declined 4% as lost business and product mix shifts away from lower margin revenue was partially offset by a software license fee and new business. Segment EBITDA was $119 million, up $7 million or 7%, compared to $112 million in 2011 which was negatively impacted by $12 million in purchase accounting adjustments. Changes in foreign currency rates resulted in a $7 million unfavorable impact to EBITDA. Margin improved to 28%, up 300 basis points.

 

Recent Events

 

Debt Extension

 

During the quarter, First Data issued $2.15 billion of 6¾% senior secured notes due in 2020, $750 million of LIBOR+500 term loans due in 2018 and extended approximately $295 million U.S. dollar equivalent term loans from 2014 to 2017. The Company used the net proceeds from these transactions to repay a portion of the term loans under the senior secured credit facilities, thus extending $3.1 billion of 2014 term loans.

(a)

For purposes of this schedule, long-term debt excludes interest on capital leases.

 

 

(b)

This schedule includes estimates regarding First Data Corporation’s business which are not historical facts but are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: (i) changes in interest rates associated with the Company’s variable rate debt that are materially different than the current LIBOR forward rates; (ii) changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the Company’s euro denominated debt; and (iii) the impact of further debt modifications or issuance of new debt.

 

 

(c)

The Company has an option to pay certain portions of its interest obligations “in kind” as an increase in principal rather than in cash.  These amounts represent the amount of cash projected to be paid if the Company opts to pay its entire interest obligation for 2012 and 2013 in cash.

(17)

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to First Data Corporation before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to First Data Corporation as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of FDC’s results as reported under GAAP. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

 

 

 

Consolidated EBITDA (or debt covenant EBITDA) is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, non-recurring items that FDC does not expect to continue at the same level in the future and certain items management believes will impact future operating results and adjusted to include near-term cost savings projected to be achieved within twelve months on an annualized basis (see Note 11 above). Consolidated EBITDA is further adjusted to add net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests of certain non-wholly-owned subsidiaries and exclude other miscellaneous adjustments that are used in calculating covenant compliance under the agreements governing FDC’s senior unsecured debt and/or senior secured credit facilities. The Company believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about items that will impact the calculation of EBITDA that is used to determine covenant compliance under the agreements governing FDC’s senior unsecured debt and/or senior secured credit facilities. Since not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

FIRST DATA CORPORATION

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited)

(in millions)

 

Management believes the following non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information to assist investors in understanding our financial results and to better analyze trends in our underlying business as well as evaluate our ability to service our debt. Management uses these measures to evaluate our operating performance and our segments. Management believes these non-GAAP measurements are useful in highlighting trends because they exclude the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Additionally, we believe the inclusion of supplementary adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA, described below, are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Since management finds these measures useful, we believe that our investors will benefit from seeing the Company’s results through the eyes of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results.

 

Adjusted revenue represents the sum of Segment revenue (as defined in Note (c) to the Financial Schedules) and All Other and Corporate revenue as adjusted to exclude revenue related to the official check and money order businesses due to the wind down of these businesses and to reflect elimination of intersegment revenues. Adjusted EBITDA represents the sum of Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note (h) to the Financial Schedules) and All Other and Corporate EBITDA. Adjusted revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on the Summary Segment Data schedules. Non-GAAP measures for the International segment adjust for the change in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide insight into the Company’s core performance.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Investors are strongly encouraged to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below.
