Fourth Quarter 2022 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $161.8 million, an increase of 4%, compared with $155.2 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico reflected growth in our Merchant Acquiring and Payment Services segments as these benefited from increased transaction volumes and pricing initiatives implemented earlier in the year. Our Merchant Acquiring segment also benefited from a higher spread per transaction. ATH Movil Business continues to be a driver of growth in our Payment Services segment as was the acquisition completed in the second quarter. Latin America revenue continues to increase due to both organic growth and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $28.7 million, a decrease of $12.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $41.1 million or $0.56 per diluted share in the prior year. The year over year decrease reflects the impact of an increase in costs of revenues, primarily due to the new revenue sharing agreement with Banco Popular, as well as an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR acquisition, provisions for operational losses, printing supplies and cloud services, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to an increase in personnel costs and professional fees as well as higher donations. Additionally, the current quarter reflects a loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $0.8 million compared with a gain of $1.2 million in the prior year quarter and a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt resulting from the refinancing of the Company's credit facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $68.4 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) decreased approximately 660 basis points to 42.3% compared with 48.9% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margin reflects the impact of the increased expenses discussed, the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement and the impact from the sale of assets to Popular as part of the Popular Transaction which were of higher margin.

Adjusted Net Income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $42.6 million, a decrease of 19% compared with $52.6 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.65, a decrease of 10% compared with $0.72 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate in the quarter.

Full Year 2022 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $618.4 million, an increase of 5% compared with $589.8 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico increased in both the Merchant Acquiring and Payment Services segments, benefiting from increased transaction volumes as well as pricing initiatives implemented during the year. Merchant Acquiring revenue also benefited from two additional months in 2022 from the expanded FirstBank relationship. Payment Services in Puerto Rico also reflected the continued growth of ATH Movil Business, revenue generated from an acquisition completed in the second quarter and revenue generated from projects completed in connection with closing the Popular Transaction. These increases were partially offset by the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction, which impacted our Business Solutions segment by approximately $15 million, in addition to the $6.9 million one-time credit granted upon closing. Latin America revenue reflected organic growth from existing customers and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $239.0 million, or $3.45 per diluted share, an increase compared with $161.1 million or $2.21 per diluted share in the prior year 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 $7.6 million for assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars in our foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, cost of revenues increased mainly driven by the revenue sharing agreement with Popular, a $4.1 million impairment loss on a multi-year software development, an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to the increased headcount discussed above, printing supplies, provisions for operational losses and cloud services. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven by an increase in personnel costs and an increase in professional fees.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $269.5 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 640 basis points to 43.6% compared with 50.0% in the prior year. The 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 assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction which were of higher margin and the one-time credit granted to them upon closing in the third quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $167.6 million, a decrease of 16% compared with $199.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $2.42, a decrease of 12% compared with $2.74 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate, which was partly impacted by the negative $7.6 million foreign currency remeasurement effect.

Stock Repurchase

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 741 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $32.47. For the full year 2022 the Company repurchased 2.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $34.37 per share for a total of $96.6 million. At December 31, 2022, the Company's share repurchase program has approximately $78 million remaining and authorized for future use. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchase programs, 10b5-1 plans, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to business opportunities and other factors.

2023 Outlook

• Total consolidated revenue between $638 million and $647 million approximately 3.2% to 4.6% growth.
• Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.53 to $2.64 representing approximately 4.5% to 9.1% growth as compared to $2.42 in 2022.
• Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $70 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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. In addition, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the senior secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the senior 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.

Adjusted Net Income is used to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believe better reflects the Company's 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.

Risk Factors," in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about February 24, 2023, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless it is required to do so by law.

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 the Company files with the SEC from time to time, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company and its businesses generally.
