Insights
ACI Worldwide's reported total revenue growth of 5% is a modest increase, reflecting a stable demand for their products and services. However, the more significant net income growth of 36% suggests improved operational efficiency or cost management. The substantial 107% increase in cash flow from operating activities is particularly noteworthy, indicating robust cash generation capabilities, which is crucial for funding investments and shareholder returns, such as the share repurchase program mentioned.
The projected 7-9% revenue growth for the following year is an optimistic outlook that may reflect the company's confidence in its market position and growth strategy. This forecast could positively influence investor sentiment, as it suggests a trajectory of continued growth. However, it is essential to benchmark this against sector performance to gauge its competitiveness.
The increase in total recurring revenue by 7% is a strong indicator of the company's sustainable business model. Recurring revenue streams are highly valued for their predictability and can lead to higher valuation multiples. This metric is particularly relevant for investors looking for stability and long-term growth.
Additionally, the share repurchase indicates management's belief that the stock is undervalued. It is also a signal to the market that the company is confident in its financial health and future prospects. However, investors should consider the opportunity cost of these buybacks, such as potential alternative investments in growth or innovation.
The EBITDA growth of 8% suggests that ACI Worldwide is maintaining profitability margins while expanding its revenue base, which is encouraging in the context of economic cycles. It reflects financial resilience and may point to a competitive advantage in its sector. When considering the broader economic environment, such as interest rates and inflation, the company's financial performance could be an indicator of its pricing power and cost management strategies.
The company's financial health, as evidenced by its strong cash flow and income growth, may also provide it with a buffer against potential economic downturns, allowing it to invest in strategic initiatives or weather adverse market conditions better than its peers.

"2023 was another year of progress for ACI, with steady revenue growth and improving margins,” said Thomas Warsop, president and CEO of ACI Worldwide. “In the Bank segment, we saw particular strength in our real-time payments and anti-fraud product lines, and our Bank recurring revenue continues to accelerate, which positions us very well for 2024 and beyond. Our Biller business is also performing well as we benefit from new customer onboarding and interchange improvement efforts put in place last year.”
“We are also pleased to welcome two new members to our already-strong board of directors: Katrinka McCallum, who spent many years at SaaS software company Red Hat; and Juan Benitez, the former President of GoFundMe and GM of Braintree Payments,” Warsop added. “Katrinka and Juan will provide great support as we expand our SaaS businesses and use of artificial intelligence, things both of them have overseen before. Looking forward, our pipeline is strong, and we are focused and optimistic about our growth acceleration.”

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the tables, which exclude significant transaction-related expenses, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way to view aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Certain non-GAAP measures include:
- Adjusted EBITDA: net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, as well as significant transaction-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income (loss).
- Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue net of pass-through interchange revenue. Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income (loss).
- Diluted EPS adjusted for non-cash and significant transaction related items: diluted EPS plus tax effected significant transaction related items, amortization of acquired intangibles and software, and non-cash stock-based compensation. Diluted EPS adjusted for non-cash and significant transaction related items should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, diluted EPS.
- Recurring Revenue: revenue from software as a service and platform as a service fees and maintenance fees. Recurring revenue should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, total revenue.
- ARR: New annual recurring revenue expected to be generated from new accounts, new applications, and add-on sales bookings contracts signed in the period.
