Cardtronics Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2008 Results

HOUSTON, Feb. 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CATM), the world's largest non-bank operator of ATMs, today announced its financial and operational results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008.

Significant components of the Company's fourth quarter results include:

 * Consolidated revenues of $118.2 million, up 2% from the fourth
   quarter of 2007.  Excluding the impact of negative foreign currency
   exchange rate movements in 2008, consolidated revenues were up 7%
   from the fourth quarter of 2007.
 * Adjusted EBITDA of $19.3 million, up 6% from the fourth quarter of
   2007
 * Adjusted Net Income of $0.8 million, up 43% from the fourth quarter
   of 2007
 * GAAP Net Loss of $57.9 million, which reflects a $50 million non-
   cash charge to write-down the value of the Company's goodwill
   associated with its United Kingdom operation
 * Continued improvements in key operating metrics versus the fourth
   quarter of 2007:
    - Average number of transacting ATMs increased by 4%
    - Total transactions increased by 10%
    - Total cash withdrawal transactions increased by 8%
    - Cash withdrawal transactions per ATM per month increased by 5%

Key highlights include:

 * The continued transitioning of the Company's ATM portfolio over to
   its in-house electronic funds transfer ("EFT") transaction
   processing platform.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company was
   processing transactions for over 26,700 ATMs. Additionally, in
   December, the Company expanded its relationship with Circle K
   Stores, adding additional ATMs to the existing Cardtronics-Circle K
   transaction processing arrangement.
 * The announcement that SunTrust Banks, Inc. will place its brand on
   approximately 225 Cardtronics-owned ATMs in CVS(r)/pharmacy
   drugstores throughout large metropolitan areas in North Carolina
   and Florida.
 * Continued strong liquidity and access to capital, with
   approximately $122.3 million in available borrowing capacity under
   the Company's current credit facility with leading financial
   institutions.
 * The announcement of a share repurchase program authorizing up to
   $10.0 million in share repurchases with an expiration date of March
   31, 2010.

"Our fourth quarter operating results were essentially in line with our expectations, despite the continued deterioration in the economy during the period," commented Jack Antonini, Chief Executive Officer of Cardtronics. "While we are by no means entirely immune to the current global economic challenges facing other companies, the relatively recurring nature of our business has allowed us to achieve consistent operating results in what continues to be a very challenging operating environment. Despite this, we currently believe that operating conditions are not likely to improve in the near term, and thus have taken what we hope is a relatively conservative view of our expected performance in 2009."

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

For the fourth quarter of 2008, revenues totaled $118.2 million, representing a 2% increase over the $116.0 million in revenues generated during the fourth quarter of 2007. This increase was primarily driven by (1) a 4% increase in the number of operating ATMs due to growth in the United Kingdom and Mexico ATM fleets, (2) incremental revenues from agreements signed in late 2007 under the Company's bank branding and surcharge-free network programs, and (3) higher equipment sales and check cashing revenues, all of which were partially offset by the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements during the fourth quarter of 2008, the year-over-year revenue increase would have been approximately 7%.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $19.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $18.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, and Adjusted Net Income totaled $0.8 million ($0.02 per diluted share) compared to Adjusted Net Income of $0.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to the Company's domestic operations, which, in addition to the incremental revenues discussed above, incurred lower operating expenses in 2008 due to lower merchant fees, cash rental costs, and costs associated with providing certain advanced-functionality services. Partially offsetting the higher Adjusted EBITDA from the Company's domestic operations were lower results from the Company's United Kingdom operations resulting from lower average surcharge transactions and revenues per ATM, coupled with higher costs of revenues per ATM in that market. Additionally, the year-over-year results from the Company's United Kingdom and Mexico operations were negatively impacted by the unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements previously noted. 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 fourth quarter totaled $57.9 million compared to a net loss of $7.4 million during the same period last year. The 2008 net loss figure includes a non-cash charge totaling $50 million related to the impairment of the Company's goodwill associated with its United Kingdom operation as of December 31, 2008. Such charge, which had no impact on the Company's debt covenants or cash position, was primarily driven by continued lower than expected results from that portion of the Company's business, coupled with adverse market conditions. Excluding this goodwill impairment charge, the Company's net loss for the fourth quarter totaled $7.9 million, reflecting slightly higher selling, general, and administrative costs when compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the 2008 net loss amount reflects higher depreciation and accretion expense due to continued ATM deployments made by each of the Company's business segments in late 2007 and early 2008.

FULL-YEAR RESULTS

A significant factor in comparing Cardtronics' 2008 full-year results with its 2007 full-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.

Revenues totaled $493.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, representing a 30% increase over the $378.3 million in revenues earned during 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 year of 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $83.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, representing a 36% increase over the $60.9 million in Adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2007. Adjusted Net Income totaled $8.1 million ($0.20 per diluted share) for 2008, which was higher than the $3.0 million ($0.12 per diluted share) generated during 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 year ended December 31, 2008 totaled $70 million compared to a $27.1 million net loss generated during 2007. The 2008 net loss figure includes the previously mentioned non-cash charge totaling $50 million related to the impairment of goodwill in the Company's United Kingdom segment. The 2007 net loss figure includes $5.7 million (pre-tax) of impairment charges, the majority of which served to write-off the remaining unamortized intangible asset value associated with a single merchant contract acquired in 2004, and higher income tax expense due to $4.8 million of income tax reserves recorded against deferred tax assets in 2007.

2009 GUIDANCE

Below is the Company's financial guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009:

 * Revenues of $460 million to $470 million,
 * Overall gross margins of approximately 24% to 24.5%,
 * Adjusted EBITDA of $75 million to $80 million,
 * Depreciation and accretion expense of $37 to $38 million,
 * Cash interest expense of $30 to $31 million,
 * Adjusted Net Income of $0.12 to $0.22 per diluted share, based on
   approximately 39 million diluted shares outstanding (which does not
   reflect the potential impact of the share repurchase program
   discussed above), and
 * Capital expenditures of approximately $25 million, net of minority
   interest.

The above guidance excludes the impact of certain one-time items as well as $5.0 million of anticipated stock-based compensation expense and approximately $17.0 million of intangible asset amortization expense. Additionally, the above guidance is based on average foreign currency exchange rates of $1.40 U.S. to GBP1.00 U.K. and $14.0 Mexican pesos to $1.00 U.S. during 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company continues to maintain a very strong liquidity position despite the weaknesses seen in the broader economy and financial markets. The Company's $175.0 million revolving credit facility does not expire until May 2012 and is led by a syndicate of leading banks. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $43.5 million of debt outstanding under this facility and $9.2 million in letters of credit posted under the facility, leaving $122.3 million in available, committed funding. The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants contained within this facility, and would continue to be in compliance even in the event of substantially higher borrowings or substantially lower Adjusted EBITDA amounts. The Company's remaining indebtedness includes $1.0 million of capital leases in the United States, $6.1 million of equipment loans in Mexico, and $300.0 million in senior subordinated notes. These fixed rate notes require no amortization prior to their August 2013 maturity date and contain limited incurrence covenants under which the Company has considerable flexibility.

Given the financial flexibility outlined above and the Company's expected free cash flow, the Company's board of directors has approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $10.0 million in share repurchases with an expiration date of March 31, 2010. Details of the program can be found in the Company's separate press release issued earlier today and the related Form 8-K filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 the Company's 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 2007 year-to-date average for the 7-Eleven Financial Services
     Business represents the 12-month average of ATM and Vcom units
     under Cardtronics' ownership. The low figure is due to the fact
     that Cardtronics did not acquire the portfolio until July 20,
     2007. The actual average number of transacting ATMs from the
     acquisition date to December 31, 2007 was 5,590.
 (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.

 (1) Other losses for the quarter and year ended December 31,
     2008 and the quarter ended December 31, 2007 were primarily
     comprised of losses on the disposal of fixed assets that were
     incurred in conjunction with the deinstallation of ATMs during
     the periods. Other loss for the year ended December 31, 2007
     primarily consisted of $2.0 million of losses on the disposal

     deinstallation of ATMs during the period, which were partially
     offset by $0.6 million in gains on the sale of equity securities
