ANNOUNCES 2022 OUTLOOK

EXPANDS KEY LATIN AMERICA RELATIONSHIP

INCREASES SHARE REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec” or the “Company”) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Highlights and Recent Highlights

Full Year 2021 Highlights

Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer stated "We are pleased to deliver another year of record results, with fourth quarter results nicely above our expectations due to strong volumes in both Puerto Rico and Latin America. We are also delighted to announce strategic agreements with Popular today that extend and modify our primary contracts. These agreements solidify our relationship with our largest client, while freeing up resources to drive our Latin America growth strategy."

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was $155.2 million, an increase of 16%, compared with $134.2 million in the prior year. Revenue continues to benefit from the impact of federal funds inflow earlier in the year, the expansion of our relationship with FirstBank of Puerto Rico ("FirstBank") and a return to more normal seasonal holiday spending trends across our markets. We also benefited from the ramp-up of business wins in both Puerto Rico and Latin America and organic growth from existing relationships. Fourth quarter results were also favorably impacted by a one-time hardware and software sale amounting to $3.0 million.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $41.1 million, an increase of 27%, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared with $32.3 million or $0.44 per diluted share in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $75.9 million, an increase of 19% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) increased approximately 130 basis points to 48.9% compared with 47.6% in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by revenue growth, partially offset by an increase in personnel costs and an increase in costs of sales associated with the aforementioned hardware and software sale.

Adjusted Net Income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted Net Income was $52.6 million, an increase of 23% compared with $42.8 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.72, an increase of 22% compared with $0.59 in the prior year. The increase is mainly a result of the higher Adjusted EBITDA.

Full Year 2021 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $589.8 million, an increase of 16% compared with $510.6 million in the prior year. The increase in Puerto Rico was primarily driven by transactional revenue growth which was positively impacted by the inflow of federal funds and the continuous adoption of our digital solutions, mainly ATH Movil and ATH Business, the expansion of our relationship with FirstBank and an increase in core banking and IT consulting services revenue. Latin America revenue growth was mainly driven by new business and projects that went into production earlier in the year, such as Santander in Chile and Mercado Libre in Mexico, as well as organic growth from existing clients and the expansion of our payment gateway Place to Pay. Revenue was negatively impacted in the prior year by COVID-19 stay-at-home orders in all of the regions in which we operate.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2021, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $161.1 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, an increase compared with $104.4 million or $1.43 per diluted share in the prior year. The increase reflects revenue growth and cost controls.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $294.8 million, an increase of 23% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 290 basis points to 50.0% compared with 47.1% in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin was driven primarily by revenue growth, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and lower foreign currency exchange gains as compared to last year.

Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted Net Income was $199.7 million, an increase of 32% compared with $151.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $2.74, an increase of 32% compared with $2.07 in the prior year.

Share Repurchase

For the full year 2021 the company repurchased 614 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $39.70 per share for a total of $24.4 million. No shares were repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase authorization to an aggregate $150 million which expires on December 31, 2023. Prior to this amendment, the share repurchase program had approximately $76 million remaining. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchase programs, 10b5-1 plans, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to business opportunities and other factors.

2022 Outlook

The Company's financial outlook for 2022 assumes that the Popular extensions and asset sale announced today close mid-year 2022. The outlook is as follows:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The non-GAAP measures referenced in this release material are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the industry. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the schedules to this release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share and are defined below.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. In addition, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the senior secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the senior secured leverage ratio.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments.

Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding.

The Company uses Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believe better reflects the Company's comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of Apollo Global Management LLC’s acquisition of a 51% indirect ownership in EVERTEC Group (the "Merger"). In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them. Further, the Company's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future operating results will not be affected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of EVERTEC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements preceded by, followed by, or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” and “plans” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may,” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results are forward-looking statements.

Various factors that could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those estimated by management include, but are not limited to: the Company’s reliance on its relationship with Popular for a significant portion of revenue and to grow the Company's merchant acquiring business; the Company's ability to renew its client contracts on terms favorable to the Company, including the Company's Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Popular, and any significant concessions the Company may have to grant to Popular with respect to pricing or other key terms in anticipation of the negotiation of the extension of the MSA, both in respect of the current term and any extension of the MSA; a potential government shutdown; a continuation of the Government of Puerto Rico’s fiscal crisis; the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management procedures; dependence on the Company's processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent-payment-detection systems, and the risk that the Company's systems may experience breakdowns or fail to prevent security breaches, confidential data theft or fraudulent transfers; our ability to develop, install and adopt new technology; impairments to the Company’s amortizable intangible assets and goodwill; a decreased client base due to consolidations in the banking and financial-services industry; the credit risk of the Company’s merchant clients, for which the Company may also be liable; a decline in the market for the Company’s services due to increased competition, changes in consumer spending or payment preferences; the continuing market position of the ATH® network; the Company’s dependence on credit card associations and debit networks; regulatory limitations on the Company’s activities, including the potential need to seek regulatory approval to consummate transactions, due to the Company’s relationship with Popular and the Company’s role as a service provider to financial institutions and the Company’s potential inability to obtain such approval on a timely basis or at all; changes in the regulatory environment and changes in international, legal, tax, political, administrative or economic conditions; the Company’s ability to comply with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements; the geographical concentration of the Company’s business in Puerto Rico; operating an international business in multiple regions with potential political and economic instability; operating an international business in countries and with counterparties that increase the Company’s compliance risks and puts the Company at risk of violating U.S. sanctions laws; the Company’s ability to execute the Company’s expansion and acquisition strategies; the Company’s ability to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights; the Company’s ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel; evolving industry standards; the Company’s high level of indebtedness and restrictions contained in the Company’s debt agreements; the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to service the Company’s indebtedness and to generate future profits and the impact of natural disasters or catastrophic events in the countries in which the Company operates.

Consideration should be given to the areas of risk described above, as well as those risks set forth under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the reports the Company files with the SEC from time to time, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company and its businesses generally. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless the Company is required to do so by law.
