New Haven, CT, February 26, 2015 – Higher One Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ONE) ("Higher One" or the "Company"), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2014. The Company reported fourth quarter 2014 revenue of $57.1 million, an increase of 0.8% from $56.6 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS was $0.14, compared to $0.17 for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Marc Sheinbaum, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Despite the headwinds we faced going into the fourth quarter of 2014, I am proud of how we performed across the business. We continue to diversify our business and our revenue streams, with organic growth in both our payments and Campus Labs business lines, while also managing our costs in a challenging operating environment."
Sheinbaum added, "We remain excited about our prospects for the payments and data analytics businesses. However, it is apparent that certain trends that we saw in 2014 will continue into 2015 for our disbursement services business and OneAccount product, including lower deposit and spending volumes. In addition, we are reviewing our fee schedule for the OneAccount, which may lead to a reduction or elimination of certain fees. When taking these factors into consideration, our expectations are that the disbursement services business and OneAccount product will experience a decline in revenue in 2015 compared to 2014. As such, our current expectation for 2015 is for consolidated gross revenues to be in the range of $205 million to $215 million. We will continue to manage our expenses and spending closely, and expect annual non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.45 in 2015."
Sheinbaum concluded, "We will continue to invest in and enhance critical parts of our business in an effort to bring long-term value to the colleges and universities, as well as the students, we serve."

Refund Management SSE is defined as the number of students enrolled at institutions that have signed contracts to use the Refund Management service by the end of a given period as of the date the contract is signed (using the most up-to-date IPEDS data at that point in time). Refund Management SSE as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 reflects Fall 2013 provisional enrollment data from IPEDS. The effect of updating Refund Management SSE as of September 30, 2014 resulted in a decrease of approximately 112,000 SSE from the enrollment figures prior to that point in time.
