First Data Reports Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
First
Data Corporation today reported financial results for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2015. Consolidated revenue for the second quarter
was $2.9 billion, up 1% versus the prior year period. Segment revenue,
which modifies consolidated revenue for the exclusion of various pass
through items and other impacts, was $1.8 billion for the quarter, up 1%
versus the prior year period, or up 5% excluding currency impacts.
For the second quarter, the net loss attributable to First Data was $26
million, a 24% improvement from the $34 million loss in the prior year
period. The prior year period was positively impacted by an $80 million
after-tax gain on the sale of Electronic Funds Source, LLC (EFS).
Adjusted net income, which modifies net income for items such as the
amortization of acquisition intangibles, stock-based compensation,
restructuring costs and other impacts, was $150 million, up $63 million
versus the prior year period due to improvements in interest expense and
operating profit.
"We are pleased with our second quarter results which showed solid
constant currency revenue growth," said Chairman and CEO Frank
Bisignano. "During the quarter we further strengthened our capital
structure, rolled out the Clover® Mini integrated POS
solution, and acquired Transaction Wireless, a leading digital gift card
distribution platform. We incurred $19 million in restructuring costs
during the quarter to fund part of our recently announced strategic
expense management initiative, and remain focused on achieving our
objective of $200 million in annualized savings by mid-2016."
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(adjusted EBITDA) was $702 million, up 3% versus the prior year period,
or up 5% excluding currency impacts. EBITDA margin for the quarter was
40%, up 70 basis points versus the prior year period.
For the second quarter, the Company generated $555 million in cash flow
from operations, up $128 million versus the prior year period. The
Company finished the quarter with $1.1 billion in unrestricted liquidity.
Segment Results
In the second quarter of 2015, the Company realigned its operating
segments. Following the realignment, the Company is now reporting
results of operations in the following three reportable segments: Global
Business Solutions (GBS), Global Financial Solutions (GFS), and Network
& Security Solutions (NSS). All segment information has been
retroactively adjusted to reflect this change.
Global Business Solutions provides retail point-of-sale
merchant acquiring and eCommerce services, next-generation offerings
such as mobile payment services, as well as the Company's cloud-based
Clover® point-of-sale operating system and its marketplace of
proprietary and third-party business apps. GBS segment revenue for the
second quarter was $1.1 billion, up 2% versus the prior year period, or
up 5% on a constant currency basis. North America revenue of $835
million increased 3% versus the prior year period due to increased
hardware sales and revenue from its merchant suite of solutions. EMEA
revenue was $139 million, down 6%, or up 11% on a constant currency
basis due to transaction growth and yield expansion. GBS segment EBITDA
was $454 million, up 1% versus the prior year period, or up 2% on a
constant currency basis. GBS segment EBITDA margin for the second
quarter was 43%, which was down 40 basis points versus the prior year
period.
Global Financial Solutions provides credit and
retail private-label card processing, output services and
next-generation offerings, such as its VisionPLUS Flex software, which
enables card issuers to manage all of their payments-related products
and services as a single, integrated "one-stop-shop" solution. GFS
segment revenue for the second quarter was $353 million, down 3% versus
the prior year period, or up 3% on a constant currency basis. North
America revenue of $207 million was up 5% due to internal growth and
increased card personalization volume related to EMV demand. EMEA
revenue was $103 million, down 16%, or down 2% on a constant currency
basis due to yield pressure on renewed contracts. GFS segment EBITDA was
$124 million, down 2% versus the prior year period, or up 4% on a
constant currency basis. GFS Segment EBITDA margin for the second
quarter was 35%, which was up 60 basis points versus the prior year
period.
Network & Security Solutions provides a wide range of
network services such as Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Network
Solutions, Stored Value Network Solutions, and Security and Fraud
Management Solutions. NSS segment revenue for the second quarter was
$356 million, up 6% versus the prior year period. EFT Network Solutions
revenue of $123 million increased 6% due to new business. Security and
Fraud Management Solutions revenue of $98 million increased 7% due to
growth in business security solutions. Stored Value Network Solutions
revenue of $80 million declined 1% due to the EFS sale in the prior year
period. Excluding the EFS sale, Stored Value Network Solutions revenue
was up 10% due to increased transaction growth. NSS segment revenue in
the quarter was adversely impacted by $8 million due to the sale of EFS.
NSS segment EBITDA was $156 million, up 2% versus the prior year period,
which was adversely impacted by $4 million due to the sale of EFS. NSS
segment EBITDA margin for the second quarter was 44%, which was down 160
basis points versus the prior year period.
Recent Events
Acquisition of Transaction Wireless
On June 9, 2015, First Data acquired Transaction Wireless Inc. (TWI), a
San Diego-based provider of digital stored value products that offer
gift card programs, loyalty incentives, and integrated marketing
solutions for retailers, partners, and consumers. The acquisition
complements First Data's 2014 acquisition of GyftTM, a
consumer-facing digital platform that enables consumers to buy, send,
reload, manage, and redeem virtual closed-loop cards using mobile
devices.
Improvements to Capital Structure
On June 2, 2015, First Data closed on a new five-year, $1.25 billion
revolving credit facility, replacing First Data's existing $1.0 billion
facility which was due to mature in September 2016. The new revolver has
a principal interest rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points, a reduction of
50 basis points from the rate on the previous facility. The new
revolving credit facility matures in June 2020.
On July 10, 2015, First Data closed on new term loans totaling
approximately $1 billion - $725 million in dollar denominated loans and
€250 million in euro denominated loans - with an interest rate of LIBOR
plus 375 basis points. The proceeds of these term loans were used to
repay a portion of the $1.6 billion, 7.375% senior secured first lien
notes due 2019 along with fees and expenses. The new term loans mature
in July 2022.
Non-GAAP Measures
In certain circumstances, results have been presented that are non-GAAP
(generally accepted accounting principles) measures and should be viewed
in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Company's reported results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain
items and other adjustments and is used by management as a measure of
operating performance. The Company believes that the inclusion of
supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted
EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors
about certain material non-cash items and about non-recurring items that
the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future.
Adjusted Net Income, a measure used by management to measure operating
performance, is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to
be an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to First Data as a
measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating
activities as a measure of liquidity. Management believes that Adjusted
Net Income is helpful in highlighting trends because Adjusted Net Income
excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of
operating management. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net
Income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies.
Certain measures in this release are presented excluding the estimated
impact of foreign currency changes (constant-currency). To present this
information, monthly results in the current period for entities
reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are translated
into United States dollars at the average exchange rates in effect
during the corresponding month of the prior fiscal year, rather than the
actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year.
Once translated, each month in the period is added together to calculate
the constant currency current period results.
Reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures are available in the
accompanying schedules and in the "Investor Relations" section of the
Company's website at investor.firstdata.com.

(a)
|
|
Includes amortization of initial payments for new contracts
(presented in "Summary Segment Data"), which is recorded as a
contra-revenue within "Transaction and processing service fees" and
amortization related to equity method investments, which is netted
within the "Equity earnings in affiliates" line of $15 million and
$30 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015,
respectively, and $16 million and $32 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

investments in businesses accounted for under the equity method and
consolidated subsidiaries with noncontrolling ownership interests.
For other affiliates, we include equity earnings in affiliates,
excluding amortization expense, in segment revenue. In addition, our
Global Business Solutions segment measures reflect revenue-based
commission payments to ISOs and sales channels, which are treated as
an expense in the consolidated statements of operations as contra
revenue to be consistent with revenue share arrangements with other
ISOs and sales channels that are recorded as contra revenue.

reporting purposes while certain of such commissions are reflected
as expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
|
(g)
|
|
Segment EBITDA includes equity earnings in affiliates and excludes
depreciation and amortization expense, net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests, other operating expenses, and other income
(expense).
|
(h)
|
|
Includes adjustments to exclude the official check and money order
businesses due to the Company's wind down of these businesses,
restructuring, litigation and regulatory settlements, and "Other
income (expense)" as presented in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations, which includes divestitures, impairments, derivative
gains and (losses), non-operating foreign currency gains and
(losses).
|
(i)
|
|
Costs of alliance conversions primarily represent costs directly
associated with the strategy to have First Data Corporation operate

EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating
performance, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to First
Data before interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, and
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under
GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss)
attributable to First Data as a measure of operating performance or
to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash
flow available for management's discretionary use as it does not
consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax
payments and debt service requirements. The presentation of EBITDA
has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered
in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as
reported under GAAP. Management believes that EBITDA is helpful in
highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions
that are outside the control of operating management. Management
compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures
by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete
understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than
GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, these presentations of EBITDA may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ
significantly from company to company depending on long-term
strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax
jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments.

In determining Covenant EBITDA, EBITDA is calculated by reference to
net income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest and other
financing costs, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation
and amortization. Covenant EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA
to exclude unusual items as permitted in calculating covenant
compliance under the credit facilities. Covenant EBITDA is further
adjusted to add net income attributable to noncontrolling interests
and redeemable noncontrolling interest of certain non-wholly owned
subsidiaries and exclude other miscellaneous adjustments that are
used in calculating covenant compliance under the agreements
governing First Data's senior secured credit facilities. We believe
that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in
presenting Covenant EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional
information to investors to demonstrate our ability to comply with
our financing covenants. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, this presentation of Covenant EBITDA may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted Net Income, a measure used by management to measure
operating performance, is not a recognized term under GAAP and does
not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) attributable
to First Data as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows
from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally,
Adjusted Net Income is not intended to be a measure of free cash
flow available for management's discretionary use as it does not
consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax
payments and debt service requirements. The presentation of Adjusted
Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be
considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted
Net Income is helpful in highlighting trends because Adjusted Net
Income excludes the results of decisions that are outside the
control of operating management. This non-GAAP financial measure
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the
most comparable GAAP financial measures. This non-GAAP financial
measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our
operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the
reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide
a more complete understanding of our business. Investors are
strongly encouraged to review our financial statements and
publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any
single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure
to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included
below.

Notice to Investors, Prospective Investors and the Investment
Community; Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters we discuss in our public statements may constitute
forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements
because they contain words such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will,"
"should," "seeks," "intends," "plans," "estimates," or "anticipates" or
similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans, projections or
intentions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, all statements we make relating to revenue, EBITDA,
earnings, margins, growth rates and other financial results for future
periods. By their nature, forward-looking statements: speak only as of
the date they are made; are not statements of historical fact or
guarantees of future performance; and are subject to risks,
uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are
difficult to predict or quantify. Actual results could differ materially
and adversely from our forward-looking statements due to a variety of
factors, including the following: (1) our ability to implement and
improve processing systems to provide new products, improve
functionality, and increase efficiencies; (2) our ability to prevent a
material breach of security of any of our systems; (3) our ability to
anticipate and respond to changing industry trends, including
technological changes and increasing competition; (4) our high degree of
leverage; (5) our ability to improve our profitability and maintain
flexibility in our capital resources through the implementation of cost
savings initiatives; (6) credit and fraud risks in our business units
and merchant alliances, particularly in the context of eCommerce and
mobile markets; (7) our merchant alliance program which involves several
alliances not under our sole control and each of which acts
independently of the others; (8) the impact of new laws, regulations,
credit card association rules, or other industry standards; (9) adverse
impacts from currency exchange rates or currency controls imposed by any
government or otherwise; (10) adverse impacts from global economic,
political, and other conditions affecting trends in consumer, business,
and government spending; (11) our ability to successfully renew existing
client contracts on favorable terms and obtain new clients; (12) our
ability to successfully value and integrate acquired businesses,
including those outside of the United States; (13) changes in the
interest rate environment that increase interest on our borrowings; (14)
consolidation among financial institution clients or other client groups
that impacts our client relationships; (15) new lawsuits,
investigations, or proceedings, or changes to our potential exposure in
connection with pending lawsuits, investigations or proceedings, and
various other risks that are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the period ended December 31, 2014, including but not limited to,
Item 1 - Business, Item 1A - Risk Factors and Item 7 - Management
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
