Cardtronics Announces Shareholder Approval for Acquisition

15 min read

HOUSTON, May 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cardtronics plc (Nasdaq: CATM) (“Cardtronics” or the “Company”), the world’s largest ATM owner/operator, announced today its financial and operational results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

“During the first quarter, we saw continued strength in our U.S. business, our largest market, driven by growth in surcharge-free transactions, resulting in another solid quarter of profits and cash flow generation,” said Ed West, CEO of Cardtronics.

“As modern banking and consumer preferences evolve, our value proposition for financial institutions, FinTechs and retailers has never been stronger. With our leading network, innovative solutions, exceptional service and convenience, we continue to earn new business and expand existing relationships, as evidenced by 12% organic growth in bank-branding and surcharge-free network revenues during the first quarter.”

“We are pleased that over 99% of our voting shareholders voted in favor of the previously announced acquisition agreement with NCR, and we look forward to completing the transaction. We believe by combining our capabilities, we are better positioned to offer our customers an even broader range of financial solutions, enhanced level of services, and greater overall value,” concluded West.

First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

Pandemic-related restrictions continue to be dynamic and impact consumer activity and transaction levels across the Company’s footprint. Strong recoveries of transactions in the U.S. and South Africa continued into Q1 2021. Adverse impacts from extended and, in some cases, more restrictive government-mandated lockdown measures for certain geographies, in particular the operations in the U.K., Canada, Germany, and Spain, continued throughout the first quarter of 2021.

  • Total revenues of $267.8 million, down 12.6% from $306.6 million in the prior year, and down 15.2% on a constant-currency basis. Growth in our core U.S. business was offset by declines in other regions, especially in the U.K. and Canada, which were heavily impacted by pandemic-related social restrictions.
  • ATM operating revenues of $255.0 million, down 12.6% from $291.8 million in the prior year, and down 15.1% on a constant-currency basis. U.S. same-store withdrawals increased 6% vs. Q1 2020 and were up 5% vs. Q1 2019 (non-pandemic impacted).
  • GAAP Net income of $5.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $5.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the prior year.
  • Adjusted Net Income per diluted share of $0.42, in line with the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $69.6 million, up 9.2% from $63.7 million in the prior year, and up 6.0% on a constant-currency basis, positively impacted by business rate (property tax) recoveries in the U.K of approximately $12.0 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.0% compared to 20.8% in the prior year.
  • An increase in restricted cash and corresponding liabilities caused reported net cash provided by operating activities to be $69.4 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior year. Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, which excludes the impact of restricted cash settlement activity, was $65.0 million compared to $41.0 million in the prior year.
  • Adjusted free cash flow of $48.8 million compared to $22.6 million in the prior year.
  • Net Debt reduction of $24.3 million during the quarter.

Recent Business Highlights:

  • New ATM service agreement for over 300 ATMs with MAPCO, a leading convenience store chain throughout the southeastern U.S.
  • Expanded branding relationship with KeyBank for approximately 50 ATMs at Kum & Go locations in Colorado
  • Adding approximately 50 ATMs at CVS Pharmacy locations in Hawaii
  • Six new partners added to the Allpoint+ cash deposit network during Q1 2021

Proposed Transaction with NCR Corporation and Upcoming Investor Communications

As previously announced on January 25, 2021, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement with NCR Corporation (“NCR”) pursuant to which NCR will acquire all outstanding shares of Cardtronics for $39.00 per share in cash. The transaction, which has been approved by the board of directors of both companies, is expected to close in mid-2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Cardtronics shareholders approved the transaction on May 7, 2021. In light of the pending transaction, Cardtronics is not holding quarterly earnings conference calls but is issuing this quarterly earnings release and is providing additional financial and business information in an earnings supplement posted on the Company’s website.

This earnings release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions thereof. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “contemplate,” “foresee,” “would,” “could,” “plan,” and similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on the Company and there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that are anticipated. All comments concerning the Company’s expectations for future revenues and operating results are based on its estimates for its existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. The Company’s forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond its control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from its historical experience and present expectations or projections. Risk factors are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as updated by the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and those set forth from time-to-time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the operating results that Management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes, the Company presents the following non-GAAP measures as a complement to financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP: Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and certain other results presented on a constant-currency basis. Management believes that the presentation of these measures and the identification of notable, non-cash, non-operating costs, 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. In addition, Management presents Net Debt as a measure of our financial condition. Management believes that these measures are relevant and provide useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the Company’s industry to provide a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance, financial condition and, in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in managing and measuring the performance of the business, including setting and measuring incentive-based compensation for management.

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 U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are presented in tabular form at the end of this earnings release. In addition, the non-GAAP measures that are used by the Company are not defined in the same manner by all companies and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

EBITDA adds net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and accretion, amortization of deferred financing costs and note discounts, amortization of intangible assets, and certain costs not anticipated to occur in future periods to net income. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin exclude the items excluded from EBITDA as well as share-based compensation expense, certain other income and expense amounts, acquisition related expenses, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, certain non-operating expenses (if applicable in a particular period), and includes an adjustment for noncontrolling interests. Depreciation and accretion expense and amortization of intangible assets are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins as these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share and Adjusted Tax Rate

Adjusted Net Income represents net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, before amortization of intangible assets, deferred financing costs and note discount, gains or losses on disposal and impairment of assets, share-based compensation expense, certain other income and expense amounts, acquisition 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”). The non-GAAP tax rate used to calculate Adjusted Net Income was approximately 27.1% and 23.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The non-GAAP tax rates represent the U.S. GAAP tax rate for the period as adjusted by the estimated tax impact of the items adjusted from the measure. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities is defined as cash provided by operating activities less the impact of changes in restricted cash due to the timing of payments of restricted cash liabilities.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities less payments for capital expenditures, including those financed through direct debt, but excluding acquisitions. The Adjusted Free Cash Flow measure does not take into consideration certain financing activities and other non-discretionary cash requirements such as mandatory principal payments on portions of the Company’s long-term debt.

Net Debt

Net Debt represents the principal amount of current and long-term debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents. The carrying value of current and long-term debt is reconciled to the principal amount by adding the unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts.

Constant-Currency

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 to assess performance and eliminate the effect foreign currency exchange rates have on comparability between periods.

(1) Restricted cash settlement activity represents the change in our restricted cash excluding the portion of the change that is attributable to foreign exchange and disclosed as part of the effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Restricted cash largely consists of amounts collected on behalf of, but not yet remitted to, certain of the Company’s merchant customers or third-party service providers that are pledged for a particular use or restricted to support these obligations. These amounts can fluctuate significantly period to period based on the number of days for which settlement to the merchant has not yet occurred or day of the week on which a quarter ends.
   
(2) Capital expenditure amounts include payments made for property and equipment, exclusive license agreements, site acquisition costs, and other assets. Additionally, capital expenditure amounts for one of our Mexican subsidiaries are reflected gross of any noncontrolling interest amounts.
