Insights

In examining the earnings results of EVERTEC for Q1 2024, it is evident that the company has executed a notable expansion strategy, as reflected by a 28% increase in revenue, hitting $205.3 million. This impressive growth mainly stems from the Sinqia acquisition and organic expansion within the company's various segments. However, it’s important to highlight the 47% decrease in GAAP Net Income to common shareholders, a substantial drop that can be attributed to the additional financial burdens incurred through the acquisition, such as increased interest expenses and depreciation costs.

Furthermore, the company's Adjusted EBITDA saw a 16% increase, yet this was countered by a decrease in EBITDA margin, suggesting that while the acquisition has contributed to top-line growth, it has done so at a lower profitability margin. The accelerated share repurchase is another strategic move, signaling management's confidence in the company's valuation and future performance, projected to be completed in the third quarter.

The 2024 financial outlook indicates a robust revenue growth of 22% to 23% but shows a modest growth in adjusted earnings per share of 1% to 4%, which could suggest that the market has already priced in the expected growth or there are concerns about the company's ability to maintain profitability margins in the wake of its expansion.

From a market perspective, EVERTEC's entry into the Latin American market through the Sinqia acquisition is a significant strategic move, broadening its geographical footprint and diversifying its revenue streams. The increase in revenue from the Payments Puerto Rico and Latin America segments suggests a successful integration of Sinqia and the ability to capitalize on transaction growth, particularly with the ATH Movil Business platform.

However, the company's capital expenditures projected at around $80 million, including Sinqia, raises questions about the efficiency of this investment in driving future growth. The low effective tax rate range of 6% to 7% can be seen as a potential positive for future net income, but it is also a factor that investors should monitor, as it may reflect the company's reliance on fiscal incentives that could be subject to regulatory changes.

The stock buyback at an average price of $37.92 per share also suggests management believes the stock to be undervalued, which could be an indicator to investors about the company’s self-assessment of its growth versus market valuation.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $205.3 million, an increase of 28% compared with $159.8 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting the contribution from the Sinqia acquisition and organic growth across all of the Company's segments. Strong sales volume growth and an improvement in the overall spread drove our Merchant acquiring revenue growth. Payments Puerto Rico revenues benefited from growth in transactions and ATH Movil Business. Latin America revenue benefited from a full quarter contribution from the Sinqia acquisition as well as continued organic growth across the region. Business Solutions revenue reflected growth across several lines of business.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $16.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, a decrease of $14.1 million or $0.22 per diluted share as compared to the prior year. The decrease was driven by an increase in interest expense resulting from the incremental debt raised to finance the Sinqia acquisition and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense. Costs of revenues increased primarily due to the addition of Sinqia, and, to a lesser extent, increases in cloud services, professional fees, personnel costs and costs of sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased also mainly due to the addition of Sinqia, and an increase in personnel costs. Partially offsetting these negative impacts is a decrease in income tax expense driven by the higher interest expense resulting from the incremental debt raised as part of the Sinqia acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $78.2 million, an increase of $11.0 million when compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) was 38.1%, a decrease of approximately 390 basis points from the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA reflects the impact from the Sinqia acquisition, which contributes at a lower margin, leading to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, Adjusted Net Income was $48.0 million, an increase of $2.4 million compared to $45.6 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by the higher Adjusted EBITDA and a non-gaap tax benefit compared with a non-gaap tax expense in the prior year quarter, partially offset by higher operating depreciation and amortization resulting from the increase in capital expenditures in the prior year and higher cash interest expense, due to the incremental debt raised for the Sinqia acquisition. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.72, an increase of $0.03 per diluted share compared to $0.69, in the prior year driven by the increase in adjusted net income, partially offset by a higher share count that reflects the shares issued as part of the Sinqia acquisition.

Share Repurchase

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 1.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $37.92 per share as part of the Company's ASR.

2024 Outlook

The Company's financial outlook for 2024 is as follows:

Total consolidated revenue between $846 million and $854 million approximately 22% to 23% growth.
Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.85 to $2.94 approximately 1% to 4% growth as compared to $2.82 in 2023.
Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $80 million, including Sinqia.
Effective tax rate of approximately 6% to 7%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The non-GAAP measures referenced in this earnings release 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 stakeholders to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of this earnings release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, each as defined below.

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

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. 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 Adjusted EBITDA less: operating depreciation and amortization expense, defined as GAAP Depreciation and amortization less amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions such as customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, among others; cash interest expense defined as GAAP interest expense, less GAAP interest income adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of debt issue costs, premium and accretion of discount; income tax expense which is calculated on adjusted pre-tax income using the applicable GAAP tax rate, adjusted for uncertain tax position releases, tax true-ups, windfall from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement, among others; and non-controlling interests, net of amortization for intangibles created as part of the purchase.

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.
