Exhibit 99.1 2013.6.30
HARLAND CLARKE HOLDINGS CORP.
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2013 RESULTS
San Antonio, TX - August 2, 2013 - Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. ("Harland Clarke Holdings" or the "Company") today reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, Harland Clarke Holdings filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
On December 21, 2011, the Company's parent, M & F Worldwide Corp. ("M & F Worldwide") merged with an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. ("MacAndrews") (the "MacAndrews Acquisition"). As a result of the MacAndrews Acquisition, the Company was required to use the acquisition method of accounting to revalue its assets and liabilities as of the date of the MacAndrews Acquisition. Such accounting results in a number of non-cash adjustments including, but not limited to, decreased revenues as a result of fair value adjustments to deferred revenues, increased depreciation and amortization as a result of the revaluation of assets and increased non-cash interest expense that results from adjusting the Company's long-term debt to fair value as of the date of the MacAndrews Acquisition.
Second Quarter 2013 Highlights
| |
• | Net revenues of $437.3 million, up $31.4 million, compared to the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to |
to an increase in license fee revenues at the Harland Financial Solutions segment and new business contracts at the Faneuil segment, a decrease in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition, and incremental revenue from the acquisition of NCP Solutions, LLC (the "NCP Solutions Acquisition") completed during the quarter and increased revenues per unit at the Harland Clarke segment, partially offset by volume declines at the Harland Clarke and Scantron segments.
| |
• | Operating income of $78.8 million, up $40.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to cost reductions and other operational improvements implemented at each of the segments, a decrease in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and increases in revenues at the Harland Financial Solutions, Harland Clarke and Faneuil segments, partially offset by volume declines at the Harland Clarke and Scantron segments and increased restructuring costs at the Harland Clarke and Scantron segments. |
| |
• | Net loss of $22.5 million, up $14.8 million compared to the net loss for the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to a non-cash loss on early extinguishment of debt of $61.0 million ($37.2 million after-tax) and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and operational improvements and cost reductions implemented at each of the segments. |
| |
• | Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $127.9 million compared to $108.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase is primarily due to cost reductions and revenue improvement initiatives. |

Second Quarter 2013 Performance
Consolidated Results
Consolidated net revenues increased by $31.4 million, or 7.7%, to $437.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $405.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter of 2013 included a net benefit of $5.9 million across all segments from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition compared to a net charge of $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in consolidated net revenues was also due to a $12.1 million increase in license revenues and a $2.3 million increase in credit management solutions revenues at the Harland Financial Solutions segment, an $8.0 million increase from the NCP Solutions Acquisition and a $4.1 million increase from higher revenues per unit at the Harland Clarke segment, and a $2.4 million increase from new business contracts at the Faneuil
segment. These increases were partially offset by volume declines which reduced net revenues by $7.5 million at the Harland Clarke segment and $2.4 million at the Scantron segment and a $1.0 million decrease from a contract price decrease at the Faneuil segment.
Consolidated operating income increased by $40.7 million to $78.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $38.1 million for the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter of 2013 included a net benefit of $1.9 million across all segments from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition compared to net charges of $12.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. Also contributing to the increase in operating income were cost reductions implemented at each of the segments and increases in revenues at the Harland Financial Solutions, Harland Clarke and Faneuil segments. These increases in operating income were partially offset by volume declines at the Harland Clarke and Scantron segments, a contract price decrease at the Faneuil segment and a $3.0 million increase in restructuring costs.
Consolidated net loss increased by $14.8 million to a net loss of $22.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 from a net loss of $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2012. Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 increased due to a non-cash loss on early extinguishment of debt of $61.0 million ($37.2 million after-tax) and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition as well as cost reductions and other operational improvements. The net loss for the second quarter of 2013 included an increase in interest expense unrelated to acquisition accounting of $17.2 million ($10.5 million after-tax), of which $11.2 million ($6.8 million after-tax) was due to higher interest rates and $6.2 million ($3.8 million after-tax) was due to increased amortization of deferred financing fees and issuance discounts, partially offset by a $12.6 million ($7.7 million after-tax) decrease in net charges to interest expense from non-cash fair value adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition from $24.3 million ($14.8 million after-tax) for the second quarter of 2012 to $11.7 million ($7.1 million after-tax) for the second quarter of 2013.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased by $19.6 million, or 18.1%, to $127.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $108.3 million for the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to cost reductions and revenue improvement initiatives. The Adjusted EBITDA effect of the Company's January 2011 acquisition of GlobalScholar and July 2010 acquisition of Spectrum K12 was a negative $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to a negative $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is defined in the notes to this release and reconciled to net income (loss), or operating income (loss) in the case of Adjusted EBITDA for GlobalScholar and Spectrum K12, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures, in the accompanying financial tables.
Segment Results
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company transferred certain product and service lines from the Scantron segment to other segments to better align complementary products and services. The Harland Technology Services ("HTS") and Medical Device Tracking ("MDT") businesses were transferred to the Faneuil segment and the Survey Services business was transferred to the Harland Clarke segment. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, prior period amounts for these businesses have been reclassified to reflect the business segment changes.
Net revenues for the Harland Clarke segment increased by $4.8 million, or 1.7%, to $287.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $282.2 million for the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to the NCP Solutions Acquisition that increased net revenues by $8.0 million, an increase in revenues per unit that increased net revenues by $4.1 million and an increase in non-check revenues of $0.4 million. These increases were partially offset by volume declines, net of conversions and client additions and losses, that reduced net revenues by $7.5 million and a decrease in net benefits of $0.5 million from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition. Non-cash fair value acquisition adjustments to deferred revenues and client incentives were a net benefit of $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to a net benefit of $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. Operating income for the Harland Clarke segment increased by $13.4 million, or 26.9%, to $63.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $49.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily due to net cost reductions and other operational improvements totaling $10.9 million and an increase in revenues per unit that increased operating income by $4.1 million. Also contributing to the increase was a $3.9 million decrease in net charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition. Net charges from non-cash fair value acquisition adjustments were $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. These increases were partially offset by volume declines, net of conversions and client additions and losses, that reduced operating income by $4.5 million and an increase in restructuring charges of $1.9 million.
Net revenues for the Harland Financial Solutions segment increased by $24.9 million, or 42.8%, to $83.1 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $58.2 million for the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to a $12.1 million net increase in software license revenues as a result of meeting revenue recognition criteria for certain product lines and organic growth, a $10.8 million decrease in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition, as well as a $1.3 million increase in maintenance revenues and a $1.0 million increase in services revenues, each of which was due to increased implementations of credit management solutions. These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in early termination fees. Charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred
revenues were $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. Operating income for the Harland Financial Solutions segment increased by $21.6 million to $22.6 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily due to increases in net revenues, a $10.5 million decrease in net charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and a $0.4 million decrease in restructuring charges, partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of revenues. Net charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments were $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2012.
Net revenues for the Scantron segment decreased by $1.5 million, or 5.2%, to $27.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $28.7 million for the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to volume declines in scanners and forms that reduced revenues by $2.4 million and a $0.9 million increase in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in net revenues for web-based products. Charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred revenues were $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. Operating loss for the Scantron segment decreased by $4.8 million to $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in operating loss was primarily due to net cost reductions totaling $8.1 million, partially offset by an increase in restructuring charges of $1.6 million, a $1.3 million decrease in net benefits from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and decreases in revenues. Non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments were a net benefit of $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to a net benefit of $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2012.
Net revenues for the Faneuil segment increased by $3.4 million, or 9.1%, to $40.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $37.4 million for the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to a $2.4 million increase from new business contracts and a $2.0 million decrease in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease resulting from a contract price decrease. Charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred revenues were $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. Operating income for the Faneuil segment increased by $2.7 million to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2012.

Faneuil provides business process outsourcing services including call center operations, back office operations, staffing services and toll collection services to government and regulated commercial clients across the United States. Although the Company's acquisition of Faneuil closed on March 19, 2012, the Company has included Faneuil operations in its consolidated results for the entire first half of 2012 as required by GAAP since Faneuil and the Company were under common control.

Consolidated net loss decreased by $21.8 million to $8.8 million for the first half of 2013 from $30.6 million for the first half of 2012.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased by $37.3 million, or 17.5%, to $250.3 million for the first half of 2013 from $213.0 million for the first half of 2012 primarily due to cost reductions and revenue improvement initiatives.

Harland Clarke Holdings' executive compensation is based on EBITDA (with additional adjustments) performance measured against targets. EBITDA is also widely used by Harland Clarke Holdings and others in its industry to evaluate and value potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. See below for a description of these limitations. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to Harland Clarke Holdings to invest in the growth of its business.
In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future Harland Clarke Holdings may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating it. Harland Clarke Holdings' presentation of this measure should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
• it does not reflect Harland Clarke Holdings' cash expenditures and future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Harland Clarke Holdings' working capital needs;
• it does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on Harland Clarke Holdings' debt;
• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
• it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in Harland Clarke Holdings' statements of cash flows; and
• other companies in Harland Clarke Holdings' industries may calculate EBITDA differently from Harland Clarke Holdings, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of Harland Clarke Holdings' business or as a measure of cash that will be available to Harland Clarke Holdings to meet its obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on Harland Clarke Holdings' GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.
Harland Clarke Holdings presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. Harland Clarke Holdings prepares Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA to reflect the impact of a number of items it does not consider indicative of Harland Clarke Holdings' ongoing operating performance. Such items include, but are not limited to, certain acquisition accounting adjustments, gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs, asset impairment charges, deferred purchase price compensation related to acquisitions and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons Harland Clarke Holdings considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, Harland Clarke Holdings may incur expenses, including cash expenses, similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Harland Clarke Holdings' presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
