First Data Reports Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results
First Data Corporation (NYSE: FDC), a global leader in commerce-enabling
technology and solutions, today reported financial results for the
fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015. Consolidated revenue for the
fourth quarter was $3.0 billion, up 3% versus the prior year period, or
up 5% excluding currency impacts. Segment revenue, which modifies
consolidated revenue for pass-through items and other impacts, was $1.8
billion for the quarter, up 2% versus the prior year period, or up 4%
excluding currency impacts. Fourth quarter constant currency Segment
revenue growth was 5% excluding the net impact of the GBS EMEA portfolio
sale in the prior year period, an adverse difference in the year over
year timing of security software revenue, and a benefit from a change in
contract terms for a client in the NSS segment in the fourth quarter of
2015.
For the fourth quarter 2015, the net loss attributable to First Data was
$1.2 billion, which compares to net income of $12 million in the prior
year period. The decline was driven by debt extinguishment charges and
one-time IPO-triggered expenses which totaled $1.3 billion in the fourth
quarter. Adjusted Net Income, which modifies net income for items such
as debt extinguishment charges, stock-based compensation, amortization
of acquisition intangibles, restructuring costs and other non-normal
course items, was $299 million, up $110 million or 58% versus the prior
year period, driven by improved operating results and lower interest
expense.
For the fourth quarter 2015, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was $762 million, up 7%
versus the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 200 basis
points to 41.6% in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA benefited in the quarter
by $11 million from gains on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated
assets and liabilities in Argentina, and $8 million from the previously
mentioned change in contract terms for a NSS client.
As a result of capital market transactions announced since September 30,
2015, the Company reduced its average borrowing costs from approximately
7.3% at September 30th, 2015 to approximately 5.5% at current interest
rates, and reduced its annualized cash interest expense by $0.5 billion
to approximately $1.0 billion.
"During a quarter that saw First Data return to public ownership, we
were pleased to post continued revenue growth, solid margin expansion,
and the refinancing of all our high cost debt earlier than planned,"
said Frank Bisignano, First Data Chairman and CEO. "We expect 2016 to be
a year focused on the execution of our growth initiatives and continued
expense management," Bisignano added.
Among recent highlights for First Data, beyond significant capital
structure improvements, were the release of its Clover Go point-of-sale
device, and continued progress on expense management initiatives which
included consolidation of real estate. In addition, First Data continues
to see wins with large enterprise clients across all three segments.
Segment Results
Global Business Solutions (GBS) 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. Approximately
78% of GBS revenue is generated in North America and approximately 13%
is generated in EMEA.
Segment revenue for the fourth quarter 2015 was $1.0 billion, down 1%
versus the prior year period, or up 2% on a constant currency basis. GBS
constant currency revenue growth was adversely impacted by 2 percentage
points by the non-recurrence of the previously mentioned EMEA portfolio
sale in the prior year period and an adverse difference in the year over
year timing of fourth quarter security software revenue.
Within geographic regions, fourth quarter 2015 North America revenue of
$802 million was flat versus the prior year period as increased product
sales and 6% transaction growth were offset by a lower blended yield,
and the timing difference in security software revenue which adversely
impacted GBS North America revenue growth by approximately one
percentage point. EMEA revenue was $144 million, down 7%, or up 3% on a
constant currency basis, driven by 14% transaction growth, partially
offset by the non-recurrence of the portfolio sale that benefited the
prior period by $12 million.
Fourth quarter 2015 GBS adjusted expenses were $603 million, down 2%
versus the prior year period, aided by a $7 million benefit from gains
on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities in
Argentina during the quarter.
Fourth quarter 2015 Segment EBITDA was $436 million, flat versus the
prior year period which included the $12 million benefit from the EMEA
portfolio sale. Segment EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter was 42.0%,
up 50 basis points versus the prior year period.
Global Financial Solutions (GFS) 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.
Approximately 59% of GFS revenue is generated in North America and
approximately 29% is generated in EMEA.
Fourth quarter 2015 Segment revenue was $394 million, up 1% versus the
prior year period, or up 5% on a constant currency basis. Within
geographic regions, North America revenue of $234 million was up 9%
primarily due to growth from new business, internal growth and increased
card personalization volume due to EMV demand. North America GFS card
accounts on file grew 14% year over year. EMEA revenue was $117 million,
down 10%, or down 2% on a constant currency basis, as internal growth
was offset by lower blended yield.
Fourth quarter 2015 GFS adjusted expenses were $232 million, down 4%
versus the prior year period, aided by a $4 million benefit from gains
on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities in
Argentina during the quarter.
Fourth quarter 2015 Segment EBITDA was $162 million, up 8% versus the
prior year period. Segment EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter was
41.1%, up 270 basis points versus the prior year period.
Network & Security Solutions (NSS) 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. Nearly all of NSS revenue is generated in
North America.
Fourth quarter 2015 segment revenue was $398 million, up 11% versus the
prior year period. Revenue growth in the quarter was primarily driven by
transaction growth in EFT Network Solutions, growth in merchant security
solutions and increased stored value volume. Stored value revenues also
benefited by $10 million from a change in contract terms for one client.
Fourth quarter 2015 NSS adjusted expenses were $207 million, up 4%
versus the prior year period, driven by increased cost of goods
associated with revenue growth and investment in certain products.
Fourth quarter 2015 Segment EBITDA was $191 million, up 19% versus the
prior year period. Segment EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter was
48.0%, up 340 basis points versus the prior year period.
Cash Flow
In the fourth quarter 2015, the company generated $108 million in cash
flow from operations, down $328 million versus the prior year period.
Free cash flow, which the company defines as cash flow from operations
less capital expenditures and distributions to minority interests, was
$(116) million in the current quarter, down $331 million versus the
prior year period. The declines in both measures were driven by $349
million of accelerated cash interest payments related to the debt pay
downs and refinancing activity during the quarter, and a one-time cost
triggered by the IPO. The company finished the quarter with
approximately $1.4 billion in unrestricted liquidity.
Improvements to Capital Structure
In October 2015, First Data raised approximately $2.8 billion from
issuing approximately 176,000,000 shares of Class A common stock.
On November 18, 2015, First Data issued $3.4 billion in senior unsecured
notes with an interest rate of 7.0%. The proceeds of these notes,
together with net proceeds from the initial public offering and
borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility, were used
to redeem all of the outstanding 12.625% senior notes due 2021, all of
the outstanding 10.625% senior notes due 2021, and all of the
outstanding 11.75% senior subordinated notes due 2021, along with fees
and expenses. The new notes mature in December 2023.
On November 25, 2015, First Data issued $1.0 billion in first lien
senior secured notes with an interest rate of 5.0% and $2.2 billion in
second lien senior secured notes with an interest rate of 5.75%. The
proceeds of these notes were used to redeem all of the outstanding 8.25%
second lien notes due 2021 and all of the outstanding 8.75% second lien
notes due 2022 ($250 million was redeemed in December 2015 and $750
million was redeemed in January 2016), along with fees and expenses. The
new notes mature in January 2024.
In November 2015, First Data also replaced the Company's $1.5 billion
senior secured term loan facility due March 2017 with incremental term
loans of $1.25 billion and €200 million due July 2022 with an interest
rate of LIBOR plus 375 basis points.
On December 31, 2015, First Data entered into an accounts receivables
securitization program. On January 14, 2016, the Company borrowed $240
million securitized by accounts receivable of certain subsidiaries at a
rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points.
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.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial
measures reflect 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.
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. 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. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income is helpful in
highlighting trends because Adjusted Net Income excludes the results of
items that may mask underlying trends in the business. 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.

(Unaudited)
|
|
|
|
(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
$60 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015,
respectively, and $15 million and $62 million for the three and
twelve months ended December 31, 2014, respectively.
|
(b)
|
|
Other income includes divestitures, impairments, derivative gains
and (losses), and non-operating foreign currency gains and (losses),
as applicable to the periods presented.
|
(c)
|
|
Segment revenues exclude reimbursable PIN debit fees, postage and
other revenue. For significant affiliates, segment revenue is
reflected based on our proportionate share of the results of our
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
segment measures reflect revenue-based commission payments to
Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs).
|
(d)
|
|
Net adjustment to reflect our proportionate share of the results of
our 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 and
Adjusted EBITDA by segment.
|
(e)
|
|
Independent Sales Organization commissions are presented as
contra-revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
|
(f)
|
|
Adjusted 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).
|
(g)
|
|
Includes adjustments to exclude the official check and money order
businesses due to the Company's wind down of these businesses,
restructuring, non-normal course litigation and regulatory
settlements, debt issuance costs, 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).
|
(h)
|
|
Costs of alliance conversions primarily represent costs directly
associated with the strategy to have First Data Corporation operate
the Bank of America N.A.'s (the Bank) legacy settlement platform.
|
(i)
|
|
Represents KKR annual sponsorship fees for management, consulting,
financial and other advisory services. In the fourth quarter 2015,
the management agreement was terminated upon consummation of the
initial public offering and KKR was paid a termination fee of $78
million in addition to its quarterly $5 million fee.

Forward Looking Statements
|
|
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) adverse impacts from global
economic, political, and other conditions affecting trends in consumer,
business, and government spending; (2) our ability to anticipate and
respond to changing industry trends, including technological changes and
increasing competition; (3) our ability to successfully renew existing
client contracts on favorable terms and obtain new clients; (4) our
ability to prevent a material breach of security of any of our systems;
(5) our ability to implement and improve processing systems to provide
new products, improve functionality, and increase efficiencies; (6) our
merchant alliance program which involves several alliances not under our
sole control and each of which acts independently of the others; (7)
credit and fraud risks in our business units and merchant alliances,
particularly in the context of eCommerce and mobile markets; (8)
consolidation among financial institution clients or other client groups
that impacts our client relationships; (9) our ability to improve our
profitability and maintain flexibility in our capital resources through
the implementation of cost savings initiatives; (10) our ability to
successfully value and integrate acquired businesses, including those
outside of the United States; (11) our high degree of leverage; (12)
adverse impacts from currency exchange rates or currency controls
imposed by any government or otherwise; (13) changes in the interest
rate environment that increase interest on our borrowings or the
interest rate at which we can refinance our borrowings; (14) the impact
of new laws, regulations, credit card association rules, or other
industry standards; and (15) new lawsuits, investigations, or
proceedings, or changes to our potential exposure in connection with
pending lawsuits, investigations or proceedings, or changes to our
potential exposure in connection with pending lawsuits, investigations
or proceedings, and various other factors set forth in Risk Factors in
our Prospectus, dated October 14, 2015, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b).
