HARLAND CLARKE HOLDINGS CORP.
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 2013 RESULTS
San Antonio, TX - November 8, 2013 - Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. ("Harland Clarke Holdings" or the "Company") today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 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.
On August 16, 2013, the Company completed the sale of each of Harland Financial Solutions, Inc., Harland Financial Solutions Worldwide Limited and Harland Israel Ltd. (collectively, "HFS") to affiliates of Davis + Henderson Corporation. The consideration received by the Company from the sale was approximately $1.2 billion in cash. Operating results of HFS through August 16, 2013, including the related gain, are reported as discontinued operations in the Company's statements of operations for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012 and the nine months periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Operating results of HFS are not included in segment or consolidated results other than as discontinued operations and prior periods have been reclassified to remove HFS results from results reported for continuing operations.
On October 18, 2013, the Company completed the sale of Faneuil, Inc. ("Faneuil") to ALJ Regional Holdings, Inc. ("ALJ") for consideration consisting of $25.0 million in cash, a $25.0 million two year note to the Company and 3.0 million shares of ALJ's common stock. The Company's consolidated operating results for the third quarter and nine months period ended September 30, 2013 include the divested Faneuil business for the full periods.
Third Quarter 2013 Highlights
| |
• | Net revenues of $377.8 million, up $19.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to incremental revenue from the acquisition of NCP Solutions, LLC (the "NCP Solutions Acquisition") and increased non-check revenues at the Harland Clarke segment, increased revenues for online products at the Scantron segment and new business contracts at the Faneuil segment, partially offset by decreased revenues per unit at the Harland Clarke segment, a decrease in net benefits from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and slight volume declines at the Harland Clarke and Scantron segments. |
| |
• | Operating income of $64.4 million, up $14.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to cost reductions and other operational improvements implemented at each of the segments, decreased restructuring costs 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 each of the segments, partially offset by slight volume declines at the Harland Clarke and Scantron segments and increased costs related to corporate development initiatives. |
| |
• | Net income from continuing operations of $7.6 million, up $32.3 million compared to the net loss of $24.7 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to a non-cash loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34.2 million ($20.9 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2012, operational improvements and cost reductions implemented at each of the segments and a decrease in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition. |

Third Quarter 2013 Performance
Consolidated Results
Consolidated net revenues increased by $19.9 million, or 5.6%, to $377.8 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $357.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in consolidated net revenues was due to revenue increases at each segment including a $24.0 million increase from the NCP Solutions Acquisition, which occurred on May 31, 2013, and a $0.7 million increase in non-check revenues at the Harland Clarke segment, a $4.5 million increase in net revenues from online products at the Scantron segment and a $1.7 million increase from new business contracts at the Faneuil segment. These increases were partially offset by a $10.0 million decrease from lower revenues per unit at the Harland Clarke segment, a $1.0 million decrease from a contract price decrease at the Faneuil segment and slight volume declines which reduced net revenues by $0.7 million at the Harland Clarke segment and $0.3 million at the Scantron segment. Also, the third quarter of 2013 included a net benefit of $5.2 million across all segments from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition compared to a net benefit of $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2012.
Consolidated operating income increased by $14.7 million, or 29.6%, to $64.4 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $49.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. The third quarter of 2013 included a net benefit of $4.0 million across all segments from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition compared to net charges of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. Also contributing to the increase in operating income were cost reductions implemented at each of the segments, lower restructuring costs at each of the segments totaling $10.0 million and increases in revenues at each of the segments. These increases in operating income were partially offset by a contract price decrease at the Faneuil segment, slight volume declines at the Harland Clarke and Scantron segments and increased costs related to corporate development initiatives.
Consolidated net income from continuing operations increased by $32.3 million to net income from continuing operations of $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2013 from a net loss from continuing operations of $24.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. In addition to the increase in operating income, this increase was due to a non-cash loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34.2 million ($20.9 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2012, a decrease in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and a decrease in interest expense as well as cost reductions and other operational improvements. The decrease in interest expense was due to a $9.1 million ($5.6 million after-tax) decrease in net charges to interest expense from non-cash fair value adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition from $22.6 million ($13.8 million after-tax) for the third quarter of 2012 to $13.5 million ($8.2 million after-tax) for the third quarter of 2013, partially offset by an increase in interest expense unrelated to acquisition accounting of $6.3 million ($3.8 million after-tax).
Net income from discontinued operations was $412.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, including a pre-tax gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $647.0 million, compared to $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2012.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased by $6.7 million, or 6.4%, to $98.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $105.0 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to decreased revenues per unit at the Harland Clarke segment. The Adjusted EBITDA effect of the Company's January 2011 acquisition of GlobalScholar and July 2010 acquisition of Spectrum K12 was a negative $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to a negative $2.9 million for the third 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. Specifically, Scantron transferred the Harland Technology Services ("HTS") and Medical Device Tracking ("MDT") businesses to the Faneuil segment and the Survey Services business 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 $17.1 million, or 6.0%, to $303.8 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $286.7 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to the NCP Solutions Acquisition, which occurred on May 31, 2013, that increased net revenues by $24.0 million, a $1.3 million increase in net benefits from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and an increase in non-check revenues of $0.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenues per unit that decreased net revenues by $10.0 million and a slight decline in volumes, net of conversions and client additions and losses, that reduced net revenues by $0.7 million. Non-cash fair value acquisition adjustments to deferred revenues and client incentives were a net benefit of $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to a net benefit of $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2012. Operating income for the Harland
Clarke segment increased by $5.9 million, or 10.4%, to $62.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $56.6 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily due to a $6.0 million decrease in net charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition, net cost reductions and other operational improvements totaling $2.2 million, a decrease in restructuring costs and impairment charges totaling $4.7 million and incremental operating income from the NCP Acquisition of $1.4 million. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues per unit that decreased operating income by $10.0 million.
Net revenues for the Scantron segment increased by $1.9 million, or 6.3%, to $32.1 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $30.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to a $4.5 million increase in revenues for online products primarily resulting from the recognition of deferred revenues related to contracts that were terminated in the third quarter of 2013 due to the discontinuation of certain online products, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and volume declines in scanners and forms that reduced revenues by $0.3 million. Charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred revenues were $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2013. Operating income for the Scantron segment increased by $9.2 million to $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2013 from an operating loss of $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in revenues, a decrease in restructuring charges of $4.0 million and net cost reductions totaling $2.3 million, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in net benefits from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and non-cash impairments charges of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2013. Non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments were a net benefit of $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to a net benefit of $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2012.
Net revenues for the Faneuil segment increased by $1.1 million, or 2.6%, to $42.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $41.6 million for the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to a $1.7 million increase from new business contracts and a $0.4 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 $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2012. Operating income for the Faneuil segment increased by $2.2 million to $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in operating income was primarily due to a decrease in restructuring costs and impairment charges of $2.0 million, cost reductions totaling $0.9 million, a $0.4 million decrease in net charges from non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the MacAndrews Acquisition and new business contracts, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease resulting from a contract price decrease. Non-cash fair value acquisition accounting adjustments were a net benefit of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to a net charge of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2012.
Year-to-date 2013 Performance

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, Harland Clarke Holdings presents certain adjusted financial measures that are not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to complement the GAAP financial information presented in this release because management believes they present information regarding Harland Clarke Holdings that management believes is useful to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measure.
EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (other than amortization related to contract acquisition payments). Harland Clarke Holdings presents EBITDA because it believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in Harland Clarke Holdings' industries.
Harland Clarke Holdings believes EBITDA provides useful information with respect to its ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and overall operating performance, although EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of liquidity. In addition, Harland Clarke Holdings utilizes EBITDA when interpreting operating trends and results of operations of its business.
Harland Clarke Holdings also uses EBITDA for the following purposes: Harland Clarke Holdings' senior credit facilities use EBITDA (with additional adjustments) to measure compliance with financial covenants such as debt incurrence. 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.
