Vantiv Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results

Vantiv’s Strong Position in the Payments Market and Key Strategic Assets
Enabled Third Quarter Net Revenue to Increase 29% to $381 Million and
Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per Share to Increase 23% to $0.49


CINCINNATI - October 30, 2014 - Vantiv, Inc. (NYSE: VNTV) (“Vantiv” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. Given Vantiv’s strong position in the payments market and assembly of key strategic assets, revenue increased 31% to $697.1 million in the third quarter as compared to $532.3 million in the prior year period, and net revenue increased 29% to $380.5 million in the third quarter as compared to $294.2 million in the prior year period as transactions increased by 26% over the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Vantiv, Inc. was $30.0 million or $0.20 per diluted share during the third quarter, as compared with $35.7 million or $0.24 per diluted share in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income increased 21% in the third quarter to $96.9 million as compared to $80.0 million in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income per share increased 23% to $0.49 for the third quarter as compared to $0.40 in the prior year period. (See Schedule 2 for pro forma adjusted net income and Schedule 6 for GAAP net income reconciliation to pro forma adjusted net income.)

Vantiv continues to generate superior profitability as reflected by its third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 48%, including impacts from the acquisition of key strategic assets. Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% to $181.5 million in the third quarter from $149.5 million in the prior year period. (See Schedule 8 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA.)

“This was a strong quarter,” said Charles Drucker, president and chief executive officer at Vantiv. “We are assembling strategic assets and technology capabilities to expand into high growth areas of the market, and our performance this quarter shows that our strategy is working. The payments industry is changing rapidly, and we have positioned Vantiv as a leader in the future of payments.”

Merchant Services

Merchant Services net revenue increased 42% to $297.7 million in the third quarter as compared to $209.7 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a 31% increase in transactions and an 8% increase in net revenue per transaction. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, net revenue growth expanded to 7% on an organic basis over the prior year period, due primarily to increased new business as well as the company’s strategic expansion into high growth channels and verticals, including Merchant Bank, eCommerce and Integrated Payments. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 44% above the prior year period, to $104.5 million, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions.

Financial Institution Services

Given the continued shift in the mix of our client portfolio, Financial Institution Services net revenue decreased slightly to $82.9 million in the third quarter from $84.5 million in the prior year period as a 4% increase in transactions was offset by lower average net revenue per transaction. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 3% from the prior year period, to $6.8 million.

Fourth Quarter Financial Outlook

Based on the current level of transaction trends and new business activity, net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 is expected to be $394 to $400 million, representing growth of 28% to 30% above the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 is expected to be $0.50 to $0.53, an increase of 11% to 18% above the prior year period. GAAP net income per share attributable to Vantiv, Inc. is expected to be $0.21 to $0.24 for the fourth quarter of 2014.

All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this release are forward-looking statements including any statements regarding guidance and statements of a general economic or industry specific nature. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, guidance, plans, objectives, future performance and business.

As you review and consider information presented herein, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They depend upon future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual future performance or results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Certain of these factors and other risk factors are discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability to keep pace with rapid developments and change in our industry and provide new services to our clients; (ii) competition within our industry; (iii) disclosure of unauthorized data and security breaches that expose us to liability, litigation and reputational damage; (iv) failures of our systems or systems of our third party providers; (v) our inability to expand our market share in existing markets or expand into new markets; (vi) our ability to identify acquisition, joint venture and partnership candidates and finance or integrate businesses, services or technologies that we acquire; (vii) failure to comply with applicable requirements of Visa, MasterCard or other payment networks; (viii) changes in payment network rules or standards; (ix) our ability to pass fee

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. More information on potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results and performance is included from time to time in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, including the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and its subsequent filings with the SEC.

(1) Non-operating expenses consists of charges incurred with the refinancing of our debt in June 2014 and May 2013 and the change in fair value of a tax receivable agreement ("TRA") entered into in June 2014.
(2) Due to our structure as a C corporation and Vantiv Holding's structure as a pass-through entity for tax purposes, the numerator in the diluted net income per share calculation is adjusted to reflect our income tax expense at an expected effective tax rate assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of our Class A common stock. The expected effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 36.5% compared to 38.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures
This schedule presents non-GAAP and pro forma financial measures, which are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
Pro forma adjusted net income is derived from GAAP net income, adjusting for the following items: (a) amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions, and the write down of a trade name in June 2014; (b) non-operating expenses primarily associated with the refinancing of our debt in June 2014 and May 2013; (c) adjustments to income tax expense assuming conversion of the Fifth Third Bank non-controlling interest into shares of Class A common stock; (d) share-based compensation; (e) acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, costs associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and charges related to employee termination benefits; and (f) tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements established at the time of our initial public offering.
 
(1) See schedule 8 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA.
(2) Represents income tax expense at an effective tax rate of 36.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 38.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at 36.5% for the remainder of 2014.
(3) Represents tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements established at the time of our initial public offering.
(4) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (2) above, associated with a consolidated joint venture formed in May 2014.
(5) Pro forma adjusted net income assumes the conversion of the Fifth Third Bank non-controlling interest into shares of Class A common stock.
(6) Pro forma adjusted net income per share is calculated as pro forma adjusted net income divided by adjusted shares outstanding.

Pro Forma Financial Measures
This schedule presents pro forma financial measures, which are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
 
(1) Represents acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, costs associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and charges related to employee termination benefits.
(2) Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions.
(3) Represents non-operating expenses primarily relating to the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014.
(4) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (5) below, associated with a consolidated joint venture formed in May 2014.
(5) Represents adjustments to income tax expense to reflect an effective tax rate of 36.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 38.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at 36.5% for the remainder of 2014.
(6) Represents tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements established at the time of our initial public offering.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Such financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, and such measure may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
