Management Commentary

“The trends in our business and industry are steadily moving in the right direction, even as we continue to operate in an uncertain environment amid the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Rob MacLean, CEO of Points International. “During the second quarter, our results gradually improved each month across most financial metrics, and we made progress with new program deployments for both new and existing partners around the world. Further, we generated strong momentum in our pipeline, which is even more robust now than it was at the start of 2020.

“The travel and hospitality market remains volatile due to on-and-off again lockdowns and stay-at-home recommendations, which have restricted mobility patterns and transactions related to immediate travel. Within this environment, marketing campaigns have become a crucial point of focus for both customers and loyalty operators. This is especially important as loyalty customers have proven to be comfortable buying ahead for future travel needs. As a result, nearly all discussions with our partners revolve around utilizing loyalty rewards and promotions ahead of the return of travel and hospitality demand. We are optimistic about the opportunity set in our pipeline, as we recognize that the wins from this year will drive our results in 2021 and well after.

“In the months ahead, we will continue to closely monitor the industry landscape, along with the financial and strategic positions of our partners. Based on current trends in our business, we continue to believe that Points is well-positioned to weather the storm ahead and will remain adjusted EBITDA² positive for the year. While we can’t fully predict how our journey will progress, our deep and growing client relationships, strong balance sheet, record pipeline, and twenty-year track record of high-quality deployments provide us with a strong operational foundation to navigate our recovery.”

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2020 was $40.9 million compared to $100.2 million in the prior year quarter. Principal revenue was $35.8 million compared to $94.3 million, and other partner revenue was $5.1 million compared to $5.9 million.

Gross profit in the second quarter was $7.0 million compared to $14.4 million¹ in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by the impact of COVID-19, which had a significant adverse impact on all three operating segments.

Adjusted operating expenses⁴ in the second quarter of 2020 decreased to $6.7 million compared to $9.4 million in the prior year quarter. During the second quarter, Points recognized $2.3 million in wage subsidies under the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy program, which was recorded as an offset to employment costs. In addition, reduced discretionary spending and cost management in response to the pandemic also contributed to reduced adjusted operating expenses during the quarter.

Net loss in the second quarter was $3.3 million or $(0.25) per share, compared to net income of $6.3 million or $0.45 per share in the prior year quarter. Net loss in the second quarter of 2020 included a one-time impairment charge of $1.8 million related to the Company’s Points Travel Segment due to COVID-19 related impacts on the travel industry.

Adjusted EBITDA² in the second quarter was $0.3 million compared to $5.2 million in the prior year quarter. Effective margin⁵, which is defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of gross profit, was 4.3% compared to 25.7% in the prior year period. Both declines were due to lower transaction volumes across all operating segments as a result of COVID-19.

At June 30, 2020, total funds available³, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, funds receivable from payment processors, and cash held in trust were $106.8 million compared to $86.8 million at December 31, 2019. The Company drew down $40 million on its credit facility in the first quarter of 2020 and elected to pay down $5 million in June. The outstanding $35 million balance on the facility is reflected in the June 30, 2020 cash balance.

___________________________________________________

¹ Q2 2019 Gross Profit adjusted for $6.0 million tax rebate related to prior periods recorded in direct cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2019.
² Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange, finance costs, equity-settled share-based compensation and other one-time costs or benefits such as impairment charges and a tax rebate related to prior periods) is considered by management to be a useful supplemental measure when assessing financial performance.  Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the Company’s ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow to fund future capital expenditures and working capital needs.  However, adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for Net Income, which we believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
³ Total funds available is defined as cash and cash equivalents, cash held in trust, and funds receivable from payment processors.
⁴ Adjusted operating expenses consist of employment expenses excluding equity-settled share-based compensation, marketing and communications, technology services and other operating expenses.  Adjusted operating expense is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for total operating expenses, which we believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
⁵ Effective margin measures our ability to generate profitability after we have funded operating expenses and is used by Management as a key internal measure of operating efficiency. Effective margin is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

These forward-looking statements include or relate to but are not limited to, among other things, our ability to be Adjusted EBITDA positive in fiscal 2020, statements relating to plans we have implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its expected impact on us (including with respect to efforts to mitigate degradation in transaction volumes, our liquidity and capitalization and our cost mitigation efforts, our business pipeline and ability to sign and launch new loyalty program partnerships, our ability to sell additional products and services to existing loyalty program partners, and our growth strategies). These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only Points' expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events.

Although Points believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to important risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Certain material assumptions or estimates are applied in making forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. In particular, uncertainty around the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response on global and regional economies, economic activity, and all elements of the travel and hospitality industry may have a significant and materially adverse impact on our business.  In addition, the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may impact the results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) airline or travel industry disruptions, such as an airline insolvency and continued airline consolidation; (ii) our dependence on a limited number of large clients for a significant portion of our consolidated revenue; (iii) our reliance on contractual relationships with loyalty program partners that are subject to termination and renegotiation; (iv) our exposure to significant liquidity risk if we fail to meet contractual performance commitments; (v) our ability to convert our pipeline of prospective partners or launch new products with new or existing partners as expected or planned; (vi) our dependence on various third-parties that provide certain solutions in our Platform Partners segment that we market to loyalty program partners; (vii) the fact that our operations are conducted in multiple jurisdictions and in multiple currencies and as such dramatic fluctuations in exchange rates of the foreign currencies can have a dramatic effect on our financial results and (viii) the risk of an event of default under our senior secured credit facility. These and other important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in Points' annual information form, Form 40-F, annual and interim management's discussion and analysis (“MD&A”), and annual and interim financial statements and the notes thereto.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Management uses certain non-GAAP measures, which are defined in the appropriate sections of this press release, to better assess the Company’s underlying performance. These measures are reviewed regularly by management and the Company's Board of Directors in assessing the Company’s performance and in making decisions about ongoing operations. In addition, we use certain non-GAAP measures to determine the components of management compensation. We believe that these measures are also used by investors as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Readers are cautioned that these terms are not recognized GAAP measures and do not have a standardized GAAP meaning under IFRS and should not be construed as alternatives to IFRS terms, such as net income. Refer to “Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of the Company’s Q2 2020 MD&A for reconciliation to, and description of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures.
