Segment Information

Note 12—Segment Information

The Company operates in three business segments: merchant acquiring, payment processing and business solutions.

The merchant acquiring segment consists of revenues from services that allow merchants to accept electronic methods of payment. In the merchant acquiring segment, revenues include a discount fee and membership fees charged to merchants, debit network fees and rental fees from POS devices and other equipment, net of credit card interchange and assessment fees charged by credit cards associations (such as VISA or MasterCard) or payment networks. The discount fee is generally a percentage of the transaction value. We also charge merchants for other services that are unrelated to the number of transactions or the transaction value.

The payment processing segment revenues are comprised of revenues related to providing access to the ATH network and other card networks to financial institutions, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. Payment processing revenues also include revenues from card processing services (such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control to debit or credit issuers), payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions) and electronic benefit transfer (“EBT”) (which principally consist of services to the government of Puerto Rico for the delivery of benefits to participants).

For ATH network and processing services, revenues are primarily driven by the number of transactions processed. Revenues are derived primarily from network fees, transaction switching and processing fees, and the leasing POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenues are primarily dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed and other processing services. For EBT services, revenues are primarily derived from the number of beneficiaries on file.

The business solutions segment consist of revenues from a full suite of business process management solutions in various product areas such as core bank processing, network hosting and management, IT professional services, business process outsourcing, item processing, cash processing, and fulfillment. Core bank processing and network services revenues are derived in part from a recurrent fee and from fees based on the number of accounts on file (i.e. savings or checking accounts, loans, etc) or computer resources utilized. Revenues from other processing services within the business solutions segment are generally volume-based and depend on factors such as the number of accounts processed. In addition, we are a reseller of hardware and software products and these resale transactions are generally one-time transactions.

The Company’s business segments are organized based on the nature of products and services. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews their separate financial information to assess performance and to allocate resources.

Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenues and operating income. Segment asset disclosure is not used by the CODM as a measure of segment performance since the segment evaluation is driven by earnings. As such, segment assets are not disclosed in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Note 21—Segment Information

The Company operates in three business segments: merchant acquiring, payment processing and business solutions.

The merchant acquiring segment consists of revenues from services that allow merchants to accept electronic methods of payment. In the merchant acquiring segment, revenues include a discount fee and membership fees charged to merchants, debit network fees and rental income from point-of-sale (“POS”) devices and other equipment, net of credit card interchange and assessment fees charged by credit cards associations (such as VISA or MasterCard) or payment networks. The discount fee is generally a percentage of the transaction value. We also charge merchants for other services that are unrelated to the number of transactions or the transaction value.

The payment processing segment revenues are comprised of revenues related to providing access to the ATH network and other card networks to financial institutions, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. Payment processing revenues also include revenues from card processing services (such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control to debit or credit issuers), payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions) and electronic benefit transfer (“EBT”) (which principally consist of services to the Puerto Rico government for the delivery of government benefits to participants).

For ATH network and processing services, revenues are primarily driven by the number of transactions processed. Revenues are derived primarily from network fees, transaction switching and processing fees, and the selling and leasing POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenues are primarily dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed and other processing services. For EBT services, revenues are primarily derived from the number of beneficiaries on file.

In September 2012, the Company renamed the transaction processing segment to payment processing segment. The change of name does not constitute a change in the segment composition.

The business solutions segment consist of revenues from a full suite of business process management solutions in various product areas such as core bank processing, network hosting and management, IT professional services, business process outsourcing, item processing, cash processing, and fulfillment. Core bank processing and network services revenues are derived in part from a recurrent fee and from fees based on the number of accounts on file (i.e. savings or checking accounts, loans, etc) or computer resources utilized. Revenues from other processing services within the business solutions segment are generally volume-based and depend on factors such as the number of accounts processed.

The Company’s business segments are organized based on the nature of products and services. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews their separate financial information to assess performance and to allocate resources.

Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenues and operating income. Segment asset disclosure is not used by the CODM as a measure of segment performance since the segment evaluation is driven by earnings. As such, segment assets are not disclosed in the notes to the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements.
