Exhibit 99.1
EVERTEC REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER 2014 RESULTS
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO – May 7, 2014 – EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“EVERTEC” or the “Company”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
First-Quarter 2014 Highlights
| • | Total revenue of $87.2 million; Merchant Acquiring segment revenue increased 10% and Payment Processing segment revenue increased 4%. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to $45.2 million. |
| • | Adjusted Net Income increased 16% to $32.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. |
Peter Harrington, EVERTEC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results: “We are pleased with the continued solid performance of our payments businesses in the first quarter of 2014. These results demonstrate strong secular growth in the Latin American markets we serve, our ability to gain share, and our focus on execution. Looking forward, we aim to further penetrate our existing customer base and markets with our broad set of differentiated, value-added services.”
First-Quarter 2014 Results
Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was $87.2 million, essentially flat compared with $87.3 million in the prior year.
Merchant Acquiring net revenue was $19.3 million, an increase of 10% compared with $17.5 million in the prior year. Revenue growth in the quarter was predominantly driven by an increase in transaction volumes.
Payment Processing revenue was $25.0 million, an increase of 4% compared with $24.1 million in the prior year. Revenue growth in the quarter was predominantly driven by new customer additions and an increase in accounts on file within our card products business, as well as an increase in ATH network and POS processing transactions.
Business Solutions revenue was $42.9 million, a decrease of 6% compared with $45.8 million in the prior year. The decrease in Business Solutions revenue was mainly due to a $3.5 million decline in hardware and software product sales in the quarter, partly offset by increased demand for our network and core banking products and services.
Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA was $45.2 million, an increase of 8% compared with $41.8 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was predominantly due to revenue growth and significant operating leverage in our Merchant Acquiring and Payment Processing businesses, and a foreign exchange gain of $1.0 million related to an inter-company loan, which is reflected in other income. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) was 51.9% compared with 47.8% in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin was mainly due to the same factors affecting Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted Net Income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Adjusted Net Income was $32.0 million, an increase of 16% compared with $27.5 million in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was predominantly driven by Adjusted EBITDA growth and lower levels of operating depreciation and amortization expense, and cash taxes paid. EVERTEC recorded no cash taxes in the first quarter of 2014 mainly because of overpayments made in the 2013 fiscal year. EVERTEC expects cash taxes to return to a more normalized level for the remainder of 2014. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share increased 11% to $0.40 compared with $0.36 in the prior year.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release presents EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share information. These supplemental measures of the Company’s performance are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of cash flows or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them important supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. In addition, the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the equivalent measurements contained in the Credit Agreement in testing EVERTEC Group’s
compliance with covenants therein such as the senior secured leverage ratio. We use Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company’s overall profitability because it better reflects the Company’s cash flow generation by capturing the actual cash taxes paid rather than the Company’s tax expense as calculated under GAAP, and excludes the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation resulting from our 2010 merger involving an affiliate of Apollo Global management, LLC (the “Merger”). For more information regarding EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share, including a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income, see Schedule 4: Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Operating Results in this earnings release.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of EVERTEC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements preceded by, followed by, or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” and “plans” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may,” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results are forward-looking statements.
Various factors that could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those estimated by management include, but are not limited to: the Company’s reliance on its relationship with Popular for a significant portion of revenues; our ability to renew our client contracts on terms favorable to us; the effectiveness of our risk management procedures; our dependence on our processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent-payment-detection systems, and the risk that our systems may experience breakdowns or fail to prevent security breaches or fraudulent transfers; our ability to develop, install and adopt new technology; a decreased client base due to consolidations in the banking and financial-services industry; the credit risk of our merchant clients, for which we may also be liable; the continuing market position of the ATH® network; the Company’s dependence on credit card associations; regulatory limitations on our activities due to our relationship with Popular and our role as a service provider to financial institutions; changes in the regulatory environment and changes in international, legal, political, administrative or economic conditions; the geographical concentration of the Company’s business in Puerto Rico; operating an international business in multiple regions with potential political and economic instability; operating in countries and counterparties that put us at risk of violating U.S. sanctions laws;our ability to execute our expansion and acquisition strategies; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel; our ability to comply with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements; evolving industry standards; the Company’s high level of indebtedness and restrictions contained in the Company’s debt agreements; and the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to service the Company’s indebtedness and to generate future profits.
Consideration should be given to the areas of risk described above, as well as those risks set forth under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the reports the Company files with the SEC from time to time, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company and its businesses generally.
