Exhibit 99.1

 

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO - November 2, 2022 - EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec” or the “Company”) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

•Closed Popular Transaction with expected impacts on revenue and margins

•Revenue remained relatively flat at $145.8 million

•GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $137.8 million or $2.06 per diluted share

•Adjusted EBITDA decreased 25% to $52.4 million; excluding the impact from FX remeasurement Adjusted EBITDA would have been $60.2 million, a decrease of 14%

•Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.40, a decrease of 35%; excluding the impact from FX remeasurement Adjusted earnings per common share would have been $0.53, a decrease of 15%

•Share repurchases in the quarter totaled $37.3 million

Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Our businesses performed well in the quarter, despite the negative impact from FX and Hurricane Fiona. We are pleased to announce the expansion of our relationship with Mercado Libre into Chile, and that we have signed an agreement for our Placetopay platform with Grupo Aval, one of the largest banking groups in Colombia."

Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $145.8 million, relatively flat when compared with the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico was negatively impacted by the $6.9 million one-time credit granted upon closing of the Popular Transaction and the impact from Hurricane Fiona to our Merchant Acquiring segment. These negative effects were offset by the continued growth in our digital solutions, ATH Movil Business, increased transaction volumes, and revenue generated from the small acquisition we completed in the second quarter. Latin America revenue reflected organic growth and benefited from the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition completed at the beginning of the quarter.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $137.8 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, and includes the impact of the $135.6 million gain recognized from the Popular Transaction. The results also reflect the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement of $7.8 million for assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars in our foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, cost of sales increased mainly driven by the revenue sharing agreement with Popular and costs related to certain hardware sales completed in the quarter. Operating costs increased primarily due to professional fees, personnel costs, printing supplies and cloud services.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $52.4 million, a decrease of 25% compared to the prior year and excludes the impact of the $135.6 million gain from the Popular transaction. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) was 35.9%, a decrease of approximately 12 percentage points from the prior year. The year over year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margin primarily reflect the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement and the increased expenses discussed above, as well as the impact from the one-time credit to Popular.

Adjusted Net Income. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $27.1 million, a decrease of 40% compared with $45.0 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.40, a decrease of 35% compared to $0.62 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate in the quarter, which was also impacted by the $7.8 million foreign currency remeasurement effect.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 1,190,379 shares of its common stock at an average price of 31.35 per share for a total of $37.3 million. As of September 30, 2022, a total of approximately $102 million remained available for future use under the Company’s share repurchase program. In addition, in connection with the close of the Popular transaction, the Company received 4,589,160 shares of its own common stock.

The Company's financial outlook for 2022 is as follows:

 

•Total consolidated revenue continues to be anticipated between $607 million and $615 million.

•Adjusted earnings per common share is now expected to be between $2.36 to $2.47 representing a decline of 14% to 10% as compared to $2.74 in 2021.

•Capital expenditures continue to be expected at approximately $60 million.

•Effective tax rate is now anticipated between 17% and 18%, compared to 14% to 15% previously estimated.

The non-GAAP measures referenced in this release material are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and 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 operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity.

In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the industry. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the schedules to this release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share and are defined below.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the secured leverage ratio.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments.

Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding.

The Company uses Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believes it better reflects the comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of merger and acquisition activity. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them. Further, the Company's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future operating results will not be affected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

(“Popular”) for a significant portion of its revenues pursuant to the Company’s second amended and restated Master Services Agreement ("MSA") with them, and to grow the Company’s merchant acquiring business; as a regulated institution, the likelihood that the Company will be required to obtain regulatory approval before engaging in certain new activities or businesses, whether organically or by acquisition, and its potential inability to obtain such approval on a timely basis or at all, which may make transactions more expensive or impossible to complete, or make us less attractive to potential sellers; the Company’s ability to renew its client contracts on terms favorable to the Company, including, but not limited to, the current term and any extension of the MSA with Popular; the Company’s dependence on its processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent payment detection systems, as well as on the Company’s personnel and certain third parties with whom it does business, and the risks to the Company’s business if its systems are hacked or otherwise compromised; the Company’s ability to develop, install and adopt new software, technology and computing systems; a decreased client base due to consolidations and failures in the financial services industry; the credit risk of the Company’s merchant clients, for which it may also be liable; the continuing market position of the ATH network; a reduction in consumer confidence, whether as a result of a global economic downturn or otherwise, which leads to a decrease in consumer spending; the Company’s dependence on credit card associations, including any adverse changes in credit card association or network rules or fees; changes in the regulatory environment and changes macroeconomic, market, in international, legal, tax, political, or administrative conditions, including inflation or the risk of recession; the geographical concentration of the Company’s business in Puerto Rico, including its business with the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities, which are facing severe political and fiscal challenges; additional adverse changes in the general economic conditions in Puerto Rico, whether as a result of the government’s debt crisis or otherwise, including the continued migration of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland, which could negatively affect the Company’s customer base, general consumer spending, the Company’s cost of operations and the Company’s ability to hire and retain qualified employees; operating an international business in Latin America and the Caribbean, in jurisdictions with potential political and economic instability; the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights against infringement and to defend itself against claims of infringement brought by third parties; the Company’s ability to comply with U.S. federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements; evolving industry standards and adverse changes in global economic, political and other conditions; the Company’s level of indebtedness and the impact of rising interest rates, and restrictions contained in the Company’s debt agreements, including the secured credit facilities, as well as debt that could be incurred in the future; the Company’s ability to prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach to its information security; the possibility that the Company could lose its preferential tax rate in Puerto Rico; the possibility of future catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes and other potential natural disasters affecting the Company’s main markets in Latin America and the Caribbean; and uncertainty related to the effect of the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate at the end of 2021.

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 we file with the SEC from time to time, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by us and our businesses generally.
