Ed Heffernan, president and chief executive officer of Alliance Data, commented, "Pro forma revenue increased 5 percent to $2.02 billion for the third quarter of 2018, below expectations. Conversely, core EPS came in strong, increasing 17 percent to $6.26 for the third quarter of 2018. Year-to-date core EPS has increased 20 percent to $15.70, which firmly positions us to realize our full-year guidance of $22.50 to $23.00 per share, an increase of 16 to 19 percent.
"There were three significant achievements during the third quarter. First, we are now seeing the benefits from shifting to in-house recovery of charged-off accounts in our Card Services segment as recovery rates moved from a multi-quarter drag toward a growing benefit. Second, also in the Card Services segment, we are trending to a record level of new client signings, which will add as much as $4 billion in card receivables growth over time. And third, our LoyaltyOne® segment had another solid quarter of pro forma revenue growth, coupled with momentum in our AIR MILES® Reward Program as evidenced by a nice step-up in AIR MILES issued.
"Shifting to our strategic direction, we have spent the better part of this year reviewing the portfolio of businesses that constitute Alliance Data. We are nearing the end of this process and feel it's appropriate to share our current thinking."
Heffernan continued: "Stated simply, we firmly believe that our current stock price does not reflect the intrinsic value of our portfolio of businesses across the enterprise. We are evaluating which assets would likely thrive under a different steward, while also unlocking value for our stockholders. We know that the right answer could involve significant realignment of our businesses and we are actively evaluating that optimal strategy. We expect to crystallize a game plan of precisely − what and how − before year end, and will continue to communicate our path forward when appropriate."
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Revenue increased 2 percent to $1.95 billion for the third quarter of 2018. Pro forma revenue − which adjusts for the change to net revenue presentation for AIR MILES effective January 1, 2018 − increased 5 percent to $2.0 billion. EPS increased 28 percent to $5.39, while core EPS increased 17 percent to $6.26 for the third quarter of 2018. The core EPS effective tax rate was 24.2 percent compared to 32.5 percent in the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA, net increased 2 percent to $563 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Represents classification of certain redemption revenue recorded net upon the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, January 1, 2018.
 
LoyaltyOne: Pro forma revenue increased 8 percent to $329 million and adjusted EBITDA increased 4 percent to $63 million for the third quarter of 2018. AIR MILES reward miles issued increased 3 percent for the third quarter of 2018 and is projected to continue to grow for the remainder of 2018.
Epsilon: Revenue decreased 4 percent to $538 million, while adjusted EBITDA was flat with the prior year at $125 million for the third quarter of 2018. The decline in revenue was largely attributable to lower margin agency and site-based display product offerings. Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 100 basis points to 23 percent for the third quarter of 2018, due to the favorable shift in revenue mix.
Card Services: Revenue increased 10 percent to $1.16 billion while adjusted EBITDA, net increased 4 percent to $414 million for the third quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA, net was tempered by lower gross yields, a function of client mix, and higher funding costs.

2018 Guidance
·
Reported revenue of approximately $7.9 billion and pro forma revenue of approximately $8.2 billion. Both were lowered from prior guidance due to continued weakness in certain Epsilon product offerings and the initial impact from strategic efforts noted above.
·
Maintaining core EPS of $22.50 to $23.00, representing a 16 to 19 percent increase over 2017.
2019 Guidance
·
Guidance will be provided in January 2019 as part of our fourth quarter earnings release, which will reflect details of our anticipated strategic re-alignment.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events and can generally be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "project," "plan," "likely," "may," "should" or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements.  Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding strategic evaluations, our expected operating results, future economic conditions including currency exchange rates, future dividend declarations and the guidance we give with respect to our anticipated financial performance.
We believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. Forward-looking statements, however, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, anticipated results or other expectations expressed in this release, and no assurances can be given that our expectations will prove to have been correct. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, factors set forth in the Risk Factors section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year, which may be updated in Item 1A of, or elsewhere in, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed for periods subsequent to such Form 10-K.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise.

Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company may present financial measures that are non-GAAP measures, such as constant currency financial measures, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, net of funding costs, core earnings and core earnings per diluted share (core EPS). Constant currency excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company calculates constant currency by converting our current period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, net as an integral part of internal reporting to measure the performance and operational strength of reportable segments and to evaluate the performance of senior management. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect across all reportable segments of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets, including certain intangible assets that were recognized in business combinations, and the non-cash effect of stock compensation expense. Similarly, core earnings and core EPS eliminate non-cash or non-operating items, including, but not limited to, stock compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, amortization of debt issuance and hedging costs. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of the Company's reported GAAP results, provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial measures are available in the accompanying schedules, which are posted as part of this earnings release in both the News and Investors sections on the Company's website (www.alliancedata.com). No reconciliation is provided with respect to forward-looking annual guidance for 2018 core EPS as the Company cannot reliably predict all necessary components or their impact to reconcile core EPS to GAAP EPS without unreasonable effort. The events necessitating a non-GAAP adjustment are inherently unpredictable and may have a material impact on the Company's future results.
The financial measures presented are consistent with the Company's historical financial reporting practices. Core earnings and core EPS represent performance measures and are not intended to represent liquidity measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and are not identical to corresponding measures used in other various agreements or public filings.
