Green Dot Reports First Quarter 2016 Non-GAAP Total Operating Revenues of $228.2M

May 4, 2016 4:07 PM

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: GDOT), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

For the first quarter of 2016, Green Dot reported GAAP revenue of $228.0 million and non-GAAP total operating revenues1 of $228.2 million. Green Dot also reported $0.63 in GAAP diluted earnings per common share. The Company reported adjusted EBITDA1 of $78.3 million and $0.78 in non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share1. Excluding unusual incremental launch expenses, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA1 of $80.2 million and $0.80 in non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share1. As of March 31, 2016, Green Dot generated $78.3 million in net cash from operations. Unencumbered cash at the holding company was $151.2 million.

Green Dot Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Steve Streit said, "Q1 was a fabulous quarter for Green Dot in every way with strong performance from all our diversified business lines - both organic lines and acquired lines- helping to deliver solid top and bottom line performance that was well in excess of our expectations. Our prepaid business posted very strong performance as we saw the first quarterly sequential growth on active cards in a year. But more importantly, despite having 12% fewer cards in the period due to the impact of the discontinuation of MoneyPak in February 2015, the revenue from our Account Services segment was down only 1.9% year-over-year. Our well devised and executed strategies to improve the quality of our portfolio are working with the customers that now make up our active customer base delivering the most revenue per active card in our company’s history.”

"We have renewed retail partnerships with CVS and 7-Eleven plus have added three more retail chains and 250 more Financial Service Center locations to our distribution footprint. We are on track or ahead of schedule with our new product rollouts, we are expanding our partnership with Uber, and our business development pipeline is the best it has ever been, with several meaningful deals in the late stages of negotiation. In addition, we are allocating capital prudently and returned another $50 million to shareholders as part of our three-year $150 million share repurchase program. Green Dot is positioned for long-term, continued success and its Board is committed to holding management accountable for delivering on its six-step plan to achieve at least $1.75 in Non-GAAP EPS in 2017."

Said Mark Shifke, Green Dot’s Chief Financial Officer, “While we are encouraged by the quality of earnings from our existing active card portfolio in Q1 and even more encouraged by the early strong performance on our new suite of prepaid cards with better unit economics that we expect will make up a larger part of our active card base over the remainder of the year, it’s only the first quarter of the year and we only have 30 to 60 days of data on those new cards, which we don’t feel is enough data from which to draw reliable conclusions. As such, we don’t feel comfortable at this point changing our model for Q2, Q3 or Q4. We would rather wait another quarter to get more clarity on how our existing portfolio behaves and to see how our new cards perform in both unit sales and revenue per active card. However, since our Account Services Segment did over-perform in Q1 by a net $5 million relative to our forecast, we do believe it is appropriate to add that $5 million to our full year revenue guidance number and update our 2016 outlook accordingly.”

Updated Outlook for 2016

Green Dot has provided its updated outlook for 2016. Green Dot’s outlook is based on a number of assumptions that management believes are reasonable at the time of this earnings release. Information regarding potential risks that could cause the actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements is set forth below and in Green Dot's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In 2016, Green Dot will incur unusual incremental product launch expenses for the cost of deploying hundreds of merchandisers to Green Dot’s network of nearly 100,000 retail locations for the purpose of removing and destroying old inventory and replacing that old inventory with new inventory. The Company currently expects these costs will total $11 million in 2016. As such, we are presenting our updated 2016 outlook including and excluding the unusual incremental launch expenses.

(1) To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses measures of operating results that are adjusted to exclude various, primarily non-cash, expenses and charges. These financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to or substitutes for operating revenues, operating income, net income or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate their measures in the same manner as we do. These financial measures are adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that the Company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures it presents are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance for the following reasons:

The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures:

The Company understands that, although adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

(2) This expense consists of the recorded fair value of the shares of Class A common stock for which the Company’s right to repurchase has lapsed pursuant to the terms of the May 2010 agreement under which they were issued to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a contra-revenue component of the Company’s total operating revenues. The Company does not believe these non-cash expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results. Our right to repurchase any shares issued to Walmart fully lapsed during the three months ended June 30, 2015. As a result, we no longer recognize stock-based retailer incentive compensation in future periods.
(3) This expense consists of certain co-op advertising costs recognized as contra-revenue under GAAP. The Company believes the substance of the costs incurred are a result of advertising and is not reflective of ongoing total operating revenues. The Company believes that excluding co-op advertising costs from total operating revenues facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company's historical operating results. Prior to 2015, the Company did not have any co-op advertising costs recorded as contra-revenue.
(4) The Company does not include any income tax impact of the associated non-GAAP adjustment to non-GAAP total operating revenues or adjusted EBITDA, as the case may be, because each of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided before income tax expense.
(5) This expense consists primarily of expenses for employee stock options and restricted stock units. Employee stock-based compensation expense is not comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of the Company’s peers) and is not a key measure of the Company’s operations. The Company excludes employee stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it consists of non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. Further, the Company believes that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of employee stock-based compensation to its results of operations.
(6) The Company excludes certain income and expenses that are the result of acquisitions. These acquisition related adjustments include the amortization of acquired intangible assets, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, settlements of contingencies established at time of acquisition and other acquisition related charges, such as integration charges and professional and legal fees, which result in the Company recording expenses or fair value adjustments in its GAAP financial statements. The Company analyzes the performance of its operations without regard to these adjustments. In determining whether any acquisition related adjustment is appropriate, the Company takes into consideration, among other things, how such adjustments would or would not aid in the understanding of the performance of its operations.
(7) The Company excludes certain income and expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. It is difficult to estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Although these events are reflected in the Company's GAAP financial statements, the Company excludes them in it's non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes these items may limit the comparability of ongoing operations with prior and future periods. These adjustments include amortization attributable to deferred financing costs, impairment charges related to internal-use software, expenses incurred with our proxy contest and other charges related to gain or loss contingencies. In determining whether any such adjustments is appropriate, the Company takes into consideration, among other things, how such adjustments would or would not aid in the understanding of the performance of its operations.
(8) Represents the tax effect for the related non-GAAP measure adjustments using the Company's year to date effective tax rate.
(9) These amounts represent estimated adjustments for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, employee stock-based compensation expense, stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense, contingent consideration, other income and expenses and transaction costs. Employee stock-based compensation expense and stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense include assumptions about the future fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of the Company’s peers).
