Cardtronics Announces Third Quarter 2008 Results

HOUSTON, Nov. 6, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CATM), the world's largest operator of ATMs, today announced its financial and operational results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Recent highlights and key statistics include:

 * Consolidated revenues of $127.3 million, up 15% from the third
   quarter of 2007
 * Adjusted EBITDA of $22.1 million, up 20% from the third quarter
   of 2007
 * Adjusted Net Income of $2.7 million, up 45% from the third
   quarter of 2007
 * Significant improvements in key operating metrics versus the
   third quarter of 2007:
      -- Average number of transacting ATMs increased by 11%
      -- Total transactions increased by 26%
      -- Total cash withdrawal transactions increased by 19%
      -- Cash withdrawal transactions per ATM per month increased
         by 7%
 * The continued transitioning of the Company's ATM portfolio over
   to its in-house electronic funds transfer ("EFT") processing
   platform.  As of September 30, 2008, the Company was processing
   transactions for over 25,500 ATMs.
 * The continued expansion of the Company's Allpoint Network,
   including the addition to the network of 5,700+ ATMs located
   in 7-Eleven, Inc. convenience stores throughout the United States
   and 2,500 of our ATMs located throughout the United Kingdom.
 * Continued strong liquidity and access to capital, with
   approximately $130.0 million in available borrowing capacity
   under the Company's current credit facility with leading
   financial institutions such as BNP Paribas, Bank of America,
   JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and BBVA Compass.

Prior to this most recent quarter, a significant factor in comparing Cardtronics' 2008 results with its prior year results was the Company's acquisition of the financial services business of 7-Eleven, Inc. (the "7-Eleven ATM Transaction"), which was consummated on July 20, 2007. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, such year-over-year comparability issues, while still present, are less significant as the effects of the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction have been fully reflected in the Company's results from July 20, 2007. On a year-to-date basis, the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction still represents a significant factor when comparing the Company's year-over-year results.

"Cardtronics generated solid results for the most recent quarter despite a number of challenges, including disruptions associated with Hurricane Ike and higher interest rates resulting from the global credit crisis," commented Jack Antonini, Cardtronics' Chief Executive Officer. "Despite these headwinds, our most recent results demonstrate our ability to leverage our past capital investments to generate consistent and recurring revenues and cash flows."

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

For the third quarter of 2008, revenues totaled $127.3 million, representing a 15% increase over the $110.6 million in revenues generated during the third quarter of 2007. Of the 15% year-over-year increase in revenues, approximately half of that amount, or 7.5%, was attributable to organic growth, with the remaining amount being attributable to the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction. The Company's organic growth was driven by additional ATM deployments made during late 2007 and 2008, primarily in the United Kingdom and Mexico, and incremental revenues from agreements signed in late 2007 and 2008 under the Company's bank branding and surcharge-free network programs.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $22.1 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2007, and Adjusted Net Income totaled $2.7 million ($0.07 per diluted share) compared to Adjusted Net Income of $1.9 million ($0.08 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2007. This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the Company's domestic operations, which included the results of the acquired 7-Eleven ATM and advanced-functionality kiosk operations for the full quarter, offset slightly by lower results from the Company's United Kingdom operations. Specific costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are detailed in a reconciliation included at the end of this press release.

The GAAP net loss for the third quarter totaled $4.2 million compared to $10.7 million during the same period last year. The 2008 results reflect slightly higher depreciation, accretion, and amortization expenses due to additional ATM deployments by each of the Company's business segments and the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction. The 2007 results included a $5.1 million (pre-tax) impairment charge related to the unamortized intangible asset value associated with a single merchant contract acquired in 2004 and a $2.5 million charge to establish a valuation allowance on a portion of the Company's existing deferred tax asset amounts.

NINE MONTH RESULTS

Revenues totaled $374.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, representing a 43% increase over the $262.3 million in revenues recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of the 7-Eleven ATM and advanced-functionality kiosk operations for the full nine months of 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $63.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, representing a 49% increase over the $42.7 million in Adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2007. Adjusted Net Income totaled $7.3 million ($0.18 per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2008, which was higher than the $2.4 million ($0.10 per diluted share) generated during the first nine months of 2007. Increases in both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income were primarily the result of the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction.

The GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 totaled $12.1 million compared to a $19.7 million net loss generated during the same period in 2007. As was the case with the Company's quarterly results, the 2008 year-to-date GAAP net loss reflects the incremental depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense that resulted from the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction and the increased number of deployed ATMs. In addition, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 also includes a $1.2 million pre-tax charge in the Company's United Kingdom operations associated with delays experienced in obtaining its Europay MasterCard Visa ("EMV") certification with one of the major networks. This charge, which is reflected in the "Cost of ATM operating revenues" line item of the consolidated statement of operations, has been added back to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, net of taxes. The 2007 year-to-date net loss includes $5.3 million (pre-tax) of impairment charges, the majority o f which related to the unamortized intangible asset value associated with a single merchant contract acquired in 2004, and higher income tax expense due to $3.4 million of income tax reserves recorded in 2007.

2008 GUIDANCE

The Company is now expecting the following financial measures for the year ending December 31, 2008:

    * Revenues of $490.0 million to $495.0 million,
    * Overall gross margins of approximately 23.5%,
    * Adjusted EBITDA of $82.0 million to $84.0 million,
    * Depreciation and accretion expense of $39.0 million,
    * Interest expense of $31.0 million,
    * Adjusted Net Income of $0.20 to $0.23 per diluted share,
      based on approximately 40.0 million shares outstanding, and
    * Capital expenditures of $57.0 million to $60.0 million, net
      of minority interest.

The above guidance excludes the impact of certain one-time items as well as anticipated stock-based compensation expense and approximately $17.5 million of intangible asset amortization expense.

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America. Management believes that the presentation of these measures and the identification of unusual, non-recurring, or non-cash items enhance an investor's understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's business and provide for better comparability between periods in different years.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income exclude certain non-recurring or non-cash items and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income is presented in tabular form at the end of this press release.

 ------------------------
 (1)  The average number of transacting ATMs for the three and nine
      months ended September 30, 2007 includes the ATM and Vcom units
      acquired in the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction beginning from the
      acquisition date (July 20, 2007) and continuing through
      September 30, 2007. The actual number of transacting ATMs and
      Vcom units from the acquisition date to September 30, 2007 was
      5,560.
 (2)  Amounts presented exclude the effects of depreciation,
      accretion, and amortization expense, which are presented
      separately in our consolidated statements of operations.
 (3)  ATM operating gross profit is a measure of profitability that
      uses only the revenue and expenses that relate to operating the
      ATMs in our portfolio. Revenues and expenses from advanced-
      functionality services, ATM equipment sales, and other ATM-
      related services are not included.
 (4)  Adjusted cost of ATM operating revenues includes the same
      adjustments to cost of revenues as those used to calculate
      Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income.
