Third Quarter 2021 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was $145.9 million, an increase of 7% compared with $136.5 million in the prior year quarter as we continue to benefit from increased transactions in Puerto Rico, driven by the continued effect from the inflow Federal funds, and increased revenue from our digital payment solutions. Revenue growth in Latin America is driven mainly by client implementations in the beginning of the current year, organic growth from existing customers and the continued expansion of Place to Pay. These increases were partially offset by the one-time impact in the prior year quarter from a contract with the Puerto Rico Department of Education.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $35.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, an increase of $0.9 million or $0.01 per diluted share as compared to the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $69.8 million, reflecting a slight decrease when compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) was 47.8%, a decrease of approximately 350 basis points from the prior year. The decrease in margin was primarily driven by comparison against the favorable impact to the prior year from the Department of Education contract and the favorable impact of remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars.

Adjusted Net Income. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, Adjusted Net Income was $45.0 million, a decrease of 5% compared with $47.2 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a higher effective tax rate driven by certain discrete items in our Latin America operations. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.62, a decrease of 5% compared to $0.65 in the prior year.

Share Repurchase

Year-to-date the Company has repurchased 614 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $39.70 for a total of $24.4 million. As of September 30, 2021, a total of approximately $76 million remained available for future use under the Company’s share repurchase program.

2021 Outlook

The Company is increasing its financial outlook for 2021 as follows:

Total consolidated revenue is now anticipated between $574 million and $583 million representing growth of 12% to 14%, compared with $570 million to $579 million previously estimated
Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.61 to $2.66 representing a growth range of 26% to 28% from $2.07 in 2020, compared with $2.56 to $2.66 previously estimated
Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $60 million
Adjusted effective tax rate is now anticipated to be approximately 14%.

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. 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 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.

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. 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of EVERTEC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements preceded by, followed by, or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” and “plans” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may,” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results are forward-looking statements.

Various factors that could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those estimated by management include, but are not limited to: the Company’s reliance on its relationship with Popular, Inc. (“Popular”) for a significant portion of its revenues pursuant to the Master Services Agreement ("MSA") with Popular, and to grow the Company’s merchant acquiring business; as a regulated institution, the likelihood the Company will be required to obtain regulatory approval before engaging in certain new activities or businesses, whether organically or by acquisition, and the Company’s potential inability to obtain such approval on a timely basis or at all, which may make transactions more expensive or impossible to complete, or make the Company less attractive to potential sellers; the Company's ability to renew its client contracts on terms favorable to the Company, including the Company's contract with Popular, and any significant concessions the Company may have to grant to Popular with respect to pricing or other key terms in anticipation of the negotiation of the extension of the MSA, both in respect of the current term and any extension of the MSA; dependence on processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent payment detection systems, as well as on the Company’s personnel and certain third parties with whom the Company does business, and the risks to the Company’s business if systems are hacked or otherwise compromised; the Company’s ability to develop, install and adopt new software, technology and computing systems; a decreased client base due to consolidations and failures in the financial services industry; the credit risk of merchant clients, for which the Company may also be liable; the continuing market position of the ATH network; a reduction in consumer confidence, whether as a result of a global economic downturn or otherwise, which leads to a decrease in consumer spending; dependence on credit card associations, including any adverse changes in credit card association or network rules or fees; changes in the regulatory environment and changes in international, legal, tax, political, administrative or economic conditions; the geographical concentration of the Company’s business in Puerto Rico, including business with the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities, which are facing severe political and fiscal challenges; additional adverse changes in the general economic conditions in Puerto Rico, whether as a result of the government’s debt crisis or otherwise, including the continued migration of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland, which could negatively affect the Company’s customer base, general consumer spending, cost of operations and ability to hire and retain qualified employees; operating an international business in Latin America and the Caribbean, in jurisdictions with potential political and economic instability; the Company’s ability to protect our intellectual property rights against infringement and to defend against claims of infringement brought by third parties; the Company’s ability to comply with U.S. federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements; evolving industry standards and adverse changes in global economic, political and other conditions; the Company’s level of indebtedness and restrictions contained in its debt agreements, including the secured credit facilities, as well as debt that could be incurred in the future; the Company’s ability to prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach in our information security; the possibility that we could lose our preferential tax rate in Puerto Rico; the possibility of future catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes and other potential natural disasters affecting the Company’s main markets in Latin America and the Caribbean; uncertainty related to the effect of the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate at the end of 2021; the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response to the outbreak, on the Company’s resources, net income and liquidity due to current and future disruptions in operations as well as the macroeconomic instability caused by the pandemic; and the nature, timing and amount of any restatement.

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. 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 the Company is required to do so by law.
