Fourth Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights:

  • GAAP Net Income of $16.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to $25.0 million, or $0.54 per diluted share in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $89.8 million, up 16% from $77.5 million in the prior year.
  • Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of $0.73 compared to $0.79 in the prior year, impacted by additional interest and depreciation expense from acquisitions completed in January 2017.

Full Year 2017 Financial Highlights:

  • ATM operating revenues of $1.45 billion, up 20% from $1.21 billion in the prior year.
  • GAAP Net (Loss) of $(145.4) million, or $(3.19) per diluted share, compared to Net Income of $88.0 million in the prior year, or $1.92 per diluted share, impacted by the impairment of the Company’s Australia & New Zealand segment during the third quarter of 2017.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $348.6 million, up 9% from $318.9 million in the prior year.
  • Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of $3.00 compared to $3.26 in the prior year, impacted by additional interest and depreciation expense from acquisitions completed in January 2017.

“2017 represented a dynamic and transitional year for Cardtronics. During the fourth quarter and throughout the year, we expanded our relationships with financial institutions, leveraging our unrivaled retail ATM footprint and breadth of offering. This past quarter was highlighted by new and expanded relationships with our Allpoint and ATM branding surcharge-free solutions. This traditional growth lever was complemented by growth in our new end-to-end ATM managed service solutions for financial institutions. We also continue to be the provider of choice for retailers with ATMs, adding high quality locations with both new and existing merchants, providing convenient consumer cash access,” commented Edward H. West, Cardtronics’ chief executive officer.

Mr. West continued, “Looking ahead to 2018, with our leading ATM platform, we are well positioned to drive growth and become an increasingly important strategic partner to both financial institutions and retailers in our key markets and we look forward to realizing the opportunities ahead. In 2018, we expect to generate increased free cash flows, which we plan to use to reduce debt.”

For additional information, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measure recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”), see the supplemental schedules of selected financial information in this earnings release.

U.S. TAX REFORM

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”) was enacted and signed into law.  Under U.S. GAAP, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. As a result of U.S. Tax Reform, in the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company provisionally recognized a one-time net tax benefit totaling $11.6 million. This amount included a one-time tax benefit of $19.4 million due to the re-measurement of net deferred tax liabilities primarily related to the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. Partially offsetting this non-cash book tax benefit, the Company recognized an estimated one-time tax expense on its accumulated undistributed foreign earnings of $7.8 million related to foreign operations under its U.S. business.

2018 OUTLOOK

Below is the Company’s financial outlook for the year ending December 31, 2018:

  • Revenues of $1.25 billion to $1.29 billion;
  • GAAP Net Income of $1.0 million to $6.5 million;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $250 million to $260 million;
  • Depreciation and accretion expense of $125 million to $127 million;
  • Cash interest expense of $36 million to $37 million;
  • Adjusted Net Income of $63 million to $73 million;
  • Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of $1.35 to $1.55, based on approximately 46.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding; and
  • Capital expenditures of $110 million.

The Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income outlook excludes the impact of certain expenses, as outlined in the reconciliation provided at the end of this earnings release. See Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Information in this earnings release for definitions of these Non-GAAP measures. This outlook is based on average foreign currency exchange rates for the year of £1.00 U.K. to $1.35 U.S., $20.00 Mexican pesos to $1.00 U.S., $1.00 Canadian dollar to $0.80 U.S., €1.00 Euros to $1.24 U.S., $1.00 Australian dollar to $0.80 U.S., and R13 South African Rand to $1.00 U.S. Additionally, this outlook is based on an estimated non-GAAP tax rate of 26% to 28% for 2018.

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Free Cash Flow, and certain GAAP as well as non-GAAP measures on a constant-currency basis represent non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in managing and measuring the performance of its business, including setting and measuring incentive based compensation for management. Management believes that the presentation of these measures and the identification of notable, non-cash, and/or (if applicable in a particular period) certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods enhance an investor’s understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business and provide for better comparability between periods in different years.

Adjusted Gross Profit represents total revenues less the total cost of revenues, excluding depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted Gross Profit by total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation, accretion, and amortization of intangible assets as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the Company’s industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes share-based compensation expense, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, certain non-operating expenses, (if applicable in a particular period) certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, the Company’s obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense, and other obligations such as capital expenditures, and includes an adjustment for noncontrolling interests. Adjusted Net Income represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, before amortization of intangible assets, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, share-based compensation expense, certain other expense amounts, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, certain non-operating expenses, and (if applicable in a particular period) certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods (together, the “Adjustments”). Prior to June 30, 2016, Adjusted Net Income was calculated using an estimated long-term, cross-jurisdictional effective cash tax rate of 32%. Subsequent to the redomicile of the Company’s parent company to the U.K., the Company revised the process for determining its non-GAAP tax rate and now utilizes a non-GAAP tax rate derived from the GAAP tax rate adjusted for the net tax effects of the Adjustments, based on the nature and geography of the Adjustments. Additionally, the non-GAAP tax rate excludes a non-recurring net benefit of $11.6 million related to U.S. Tax Reform which is included in the U.S. GAAP tax rate for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017. The non-GAAP tax rate for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016 excludes a non-recurring benefit of $8.2 million related to the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the U.K., which is included in the U.S. GAAP tax rate for those periods. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the non-GAAP tax rate used to calculate Adjusted Net Income was approximately 28.6% and 27.7%, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the non-GAAP tax rate used to calculate Adjusted Net Income was approximately 29.2%. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the non-GAAP tax rate of 29.1% is a result of 29.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, 24.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company used its previously estimated long-term cross-jurisdictional tax rate of 32%. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less payments for capital expenditures, including those financed through direct debt, but excluding acquisitions. The Free Cash Flow measure does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as mandatory principal payments on portions of the Company’s long-term debt. Management calculates certain GAAP as well as non-GAAP measures on a constant-currency basis using the average foreign currency exchange rates applicable in the corresponding period of the previous year and applying these rates to the measures in the current reporting period. Management uses GAAP as well as non-GAAP measures on a constant-currency basis to assess performance and eliminate the effect foreign currency exchange rates have on comparability between periods.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in tabular form at the end of this earnings release.

(2)  Noncontrolling interests adjustment made such that Adjusted EBITDA includes only the Company’s ownership interest in the Adjusted EBITDA of one of its Mexican subsidiaries.
(3)  Expenses associated with the Company’s redomicile of its parent company to the U.K., which was completed on July 1, 2016.
(4) Expenses primarily related to employee severance costs associated with a corporate reorganization and broad initiative to reduce costs implemented in the first quarter of 2017 and certain costs associated with exiting its Poland operations during the fourth quarter of 2017.
(5)  Acquisition and divestiture-related expenses include costs incurred for professional and legal fees and certain other transition and integration-related costs.
(6)  Goodwill and intangible asset impairments related to the Company’s Australia & New Zealand segment.
(7)  Amounts exclude a portion of the expenses incurred by one of its Mexican subsidiaries to account for the amounts allocable to the noncontrolling interest shareholders.
(8) For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, calculated using an effective tax rate of approximately 28.6% and 27.7%, respectively, which represents the Company’s GAAP tax rate as adjusted for the net tax effects related to the items excluded from Adjusted Net Income and excludes non-recurring tax items related to U.S. Tax Reform. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the non-GAAP tax rate used to calculate Adjusted Net Income was approximately 29.2%. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the non-GAAP tax rate of 29.1% is a result of 29.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, 24% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company used its previously estimated long-term cross-jurisdictional tax rate of 32%. See Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Information in this earnings release for further discussion.
(9)   Consistent with the positive Adjusted Net Income, the Adjusted Net Income per diluted share amounts have been calculated using the diluted shares outstanding that would have resulted from positive GAAP Net Income, if applicable.
