EVO Reports First Quarter 2019 Results

ATLANTA, May 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVO Payments, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVOP) (“EVO” or the “Company”) today announced its first quarter 2019 financial results.  For the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, reported revenue was $111.5 million, compared to $128.3 million in the prior year, which reflects the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), effective January 1, 2019.  Adjusted revenue for the first quarter was $135.4 million, compared to $128.3 million in the prior year, an increase of 10% on a currency neutral basis. On a GAAP basis for the first quarter, net loss was $19.0 million or a loss of $0.20 per basic and diluted share attributable to EVO Payments, Inc.  Adjusted EBITDA increased 7% to $30.6 million for the quarter, compared to $28.6 million in the prior year.  On a currency-neutral basis, adjusted EBITDA grew 13% over the prior year. 

“We are pleased with our first quarter performance in both our North American and European segments,” stated James G. Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of EVO.  “In the first quarter, we delivered solid results due to our strong sales performance, bank partnerships, and tech-enabled acquisitions.  We will continue to execute on these strategies to deliver growth in our markets for the remainder of 2019.”

Outlook
“Based on our Q1 performance and outlook for the remainder of the year, we are providing an update to our 2019 guidance,” stated James G. Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of EVO.  “We now expect reported revenue with the impact of ASC 606 to range from $496 million to $505 million.  On an adjusted basis, adding back the impact of ASC 606, we now expect revenue to range from $601 million to $610 million for growth of 6% to 8% over 2018.  We continue to expect FX headwinds for the remainder of 2019 to be approximately 350 basis points.  On a currency neutral basis, we now expect adjusted revenue to grow 10% to 12% compared to 2018 results.

Net loss is expected to be in a range of $19 million to $14 million compared to a net loss of $99 million in 2018.  Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be in a range of $159 million and $163 million, reflecting growth of 7% to 10% over 2018 adjusted EBITDA or 11% to 14% on a currency-neutral basis.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to range from 26.5% to 26.7%, reflecting expansion of 40 to 60 basis points over 2018 currency-neutral adjusted EBITDA margin.  Net loss per share attributable to EVO on a GAAP basis is now expected to be 29 cents to 23 cents, compared to a net loss per share attributable to EVO of 70 cents in 2018.  Pro forma adjusted net income per share is now expected to be in the range of 55 cents to 58 cents, reflecting growth of 12% to 18% on a currency neutral basis.  These numbers are calculated based on pro forma share count of 84 million shares which includes all share classes.  We now expect capital expenditures to be in a range from $45 million to $50 million with 60% being comprised of point-of-sale terminals.  Our updated outlook does not consider the pending Eurobic and SF Systems acquisitions.”

We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by the cautionary factors listed above, among others. Other risks, uncertainties and factors, not listed above, could also cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make.

Non-GAAP financial measures
EVO Payments, Inc. has supplemented revenue, segment profit, net income/(loss) and earnings per share information determined in accordance with GAAP by providing these and other measures on an adjusted basis in this release to assist with evaluating performance.  The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.  Management uses these adjusted financial performance measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.  Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with other metrics, to set goals for and measure the performance of the business and to determine incentive compensation.  The Company believes that these adjusted measures provide useful information to investors about the Company’s ongoing underlying operating performance and enhance the overall understanding of the financial performance of the Company’s core business by presenting the Company’s results without giving effect to equity-based compensation, giving pro forma effect to the Company’s going forward effective tax rate following its Up-C reorganization, costs related to restructuring transactions, acquisition costs and other transitionary costs.  This release also contains information on various financial measures presented on a currency-neutral basis.  The Company believes these currency-neutral measures provide useful information to investors about the Company’s performance without taking into account fluctuations caused by currency exchange rates in the non-U.S. jurisdictions where the Company operates. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the schedules to this release. The Company also presents adjustments to its reported segment profit in this release. Segment profit is adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation, transition, acquisition-related and integration costs.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure presented in this release. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements.

Adjusted EBITDA is included in this release because it is a key metric used by the Company’s management and board of directors to assess the Company’s financial performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors about the Company’s results of operations that management utilizes on an ongoing basis to assess the Company’s core operating performance.  Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income before provision for income taxes, net interest expense, and depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of share-based compensation, transition, acquisition-related and integration costs. The calculation of adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, including: (a) it does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; (c) it does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company’s indebtedness; (d) it does not reflect the Company’s tax expense or the cash requirements to pay the Company’s taxes; and (e) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

The North America segment profit adjustments include $1.4 million for employee termination benefits, a $2.1 million impairment of intangible assets, and $4.3 million of acquisition and integration costs.
The Europe segment profit adjustments include $3.0 million of impairment of intangible assets, net of a non-controlling interest impact, and $1.3 million of acquisition and integration costs.

1 Effective January 1, 2019, EVO adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new accounting standard changed the presentation of certain amounts that we pay to third parties, including payment networks.  This change in presentation affected our reported GAAP revenues and operating expenses by the same amount.  For 2018, payment network fees were presented within operating expenses and in 2019 payment network fees are presented as a reduction of revenues.  As a result, adjusted revenue for 2019 is presented on a basis that is comparable to the prior year.
2 2019 represents an estimated range of adjustments to reconcile net loss to adjusted EBITDA. These adjustments include a) net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidating entities, b) income tax expense, c) net interest expense, d) depreciation and amortization, e) share-based compensation, and f) costs related to transition, acquisition or integration activities.
3 2019 represents an estimated range of adjustments to reconcile net loss to pro forma adjusted net income per share. These adjustments include a) income tax expense, b) share-based compensation costs, c) costs related to transition, acquisition or integration activities, d) the inclusion of amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and other customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions and e) adjustments to income to reflect an effective pro forma corporate tax rate of 23.1%.
2018 includes adjustments as described in Schedule 6 which reconcile net loss to pro forma adjusted net income per share.
GAAP net loss per share uses Class A share counts and pro forma adjusted net income per share uses adjusted share counts of 84 million shares inclusive of Class B, C, D, unvested restricted units, and unvested options.
4 2019 pro forma adjusted net income per share is impacted by $0.18 of additional depreciation expense associated with acquisitions, strong international growth including the Poland cashless initiative, and periodic terminal compliance upgrade requirements, offset by a net $0.04 related to lower interest expense associated with the partial year impact of the IPO-related debt payoff, and higher interest expense associated with the partial year impact of 2018 interest rate increases.
