Cardtronics Announces Third Quarter 2015 Results

HOUSTON, Oct. 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CATM) (the "Company"), the world's largest retail ATM owner/operator, today announced its financial and operational results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Key financial statistics in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the third quarter of 2014 include:

• Total revenues of $311.4 million, up 17% from $265.8 million (21% on a constant-currency basis).
• ATM operating revenues of $296.8 million, up 16% from $256.8 million (20% on a constant-currency basis).
• Gross margin of 36.1%, up from 33.7% in 2014.
• Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of $0.82, up 28% from $0.64.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $81.7 million, up 23% from $66.6 million.
• GAAP Net Income of $22.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to GAAP Net Income of $8.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share.
• Cash flows from operating activities of $60.5 million, up 31% from $46.2 million.

"I am pleased with yet another quarter of strong execution in our core business, with revenues up 21 percent on a currency-adjusted basis and adjusted EPS up an impressive 28 percent," commented Steve Rathgaber, Cardtronics' chief executive officer. "This was accomplished alongside the completion of two M&A transactions – the acquisition of Columbus Data Services and the disposal of a non-core portion of our U.K. cash-in-transit operation in early July. The business that we sold came to us by way of the Sunwin Services Group acquisition in late 2014. These transactions set the stage for further improvements in our results."

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • New bank-branding relationship to install Capital One branded ATMs with deposit-taking capabilities throughout Target stores in Massachusetts.
  • Expanded a relationship with TCF Bank to brand ATMs in over 200 Target stores in Michigan, Minnesota, and suburban Chicago.

  • Allpoint is now being promoted by 25 of the top 100 credit unions in the U.S.
• Added K-mart to the Allpoint Network, representing over 600 retail locations.
• Entered into a managed services agreement with Alaska Federal Credit Union, a top 20 credit union in the U.S., building upon previous branding and Allpoint relationships.
• Reached agreements with several new retailers during the third quarter to place approximately 400 ATMs within the next twelve months.
• Secured ATM operating contract renewals and expanded relationships with several key retailers in North America, representing over 2,000 locations. These included a long-term renewal with Target, representing over 1,800 locations and renewals/extensions with several other retail and sports/entertainment venues.
• Completed the acquisition of Columbus Data Services ("CDS") on July 1, 2015 for aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $80.6 million. CDS provides processing services for ATM deployers and card issuers.
• Sold our non-core retail cash-in-transit operation in the U.K. for a net GAAP gain (excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share) during the quarter.

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Consolidated revenues totaled $311.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, representing a 17% increase from $265.8 million in the same period of 2014. ATM operating revenues were up 16% from the three months ended September 30, 2014. Adjusting for unfavorable movements in currency exchange rates, ATM operating revenues were up approximately 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, driven by acquisitions and organic revenue growth.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $81.7 million, representing a 23% increase over the $66.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the same period in 2014. Adjusted Net Income totaled $37.2 million ($0.82 per diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $28.9 million ($0.64 per diluted share) during the same period in 2014. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income were primarily driven by the Company's revenue growth and margin expansion. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are detailed in a reconciliation included at the end of this press release.

GAAP Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $22.0 million, compared to GAAP Net Income of $8.1 million during the same period in 2014. The increase in GAAP Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was the result of the revenue growth and margin expansion and also a net gain recognized on the sale of our non-core retail cash-in-transit operation in the U.K., offset by acquisition and divestiture-related costs incurred during the period.

NINE MONTHS RESULTS

Consolidated revenues totaled $897.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, representing a 16% increase from $770.9 million in consolidated revenues generated during the same period of 2014. ATM operating revenues were up 13% from the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Adjusting for unfavorable movements in currency exchange rates, ATM operating revenues were up approximately 17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, driven by acquisition and organic growth. ATM product sales and other revenues increased $30.7 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily from revenues associated with the Sunwin acquisition that was completed in November 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $223.2 million, representing a 19% increase over the $188.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA during 2014. Adjusted Net Income totaled $98.6 million ($2.17 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $79.1 million ($1.76 per diluted share) during the same period in 2014. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014.

GAAP Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $52.2 million, compared to GAAP Net Income of $31.6 million during the same period in 2014. The increase in GAAP Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to the same factors impacting Adjusted EBIDTA and also the net gain recognized on the sale of our non-core retail cash-in-transit operation in the U.K., offset by acquisition and divestiture-related costs incurred during the period.

UPDATE OF FULL-YEAR 2015 GUIDANCE

The Company is updating the financial guidance it provided in July 2015 regarding its anticipated results for the full year 2015:

• Revenues of $1.185 billion to $1.20 billion;
• Gross Profit Margin of 34.4% to 34.7%;
• Adjusted EBITDA of $297.0 million to $302.0 million;
• Depreciation and accretion expense of $86.5 million to $88.5 million, net of noncontrolling interests;
• Cash interest expense of $19.4 million to $19.7 million, net of noncontrolling interests;
• Adjusted Net Income of $2.86 to $2.90 per diluted share, based on approximately 45.4 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding; and
• Capital expenditures of $130.0 million to $140.0 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 £1.00 U.K. to $1.52 U.S., $17.00 Mexican pesos to $1.00 U.S., $1.00 Canadian dollar to $0.75 U.S., and €1.00 Euros to $1.10 U.S.

LIQUIDITY

The Company had $221.2 million in available borrowing capacity under its $375.0 million revolving credit facility and $18.5 million in cash on hand at the end of the third quarter of 2015. The Company's outstanding indebtedness as of September 30, 2015 consisted of $250.0 million in senior notes due 2022, $287.5 million convertible senior notes due 2020 (of which $232.2 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), and $153.8 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility due 2019.

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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 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 stock-based compensation, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, certain other non-operating and nonrecurring items, 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 GAAP, before amortization of intangible assets, gains or losses on disposal of assets, stock-based compensation expense, certain other expense (income) amounts, nonrecurring expenses, and acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, and uses an estimated long-term cash tax rate of 32.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, with certain adjustments for noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA % is calculated by taking Adjusted EBITDA over GAAP total revenues. 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 such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on portions of the Company's long-term debt. Management calculates revenue on a constant-currency basis by 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 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 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.
