Strong Results Highlight Positive Outlook for Newly Combined Company

 

CINCINNATI and LONDON, February 28, 2018 - Worldpay, Inc. (NYSE: WP, LSE: WPY) ("Worldpay" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year financial results for predecessor companies Vantiv, Inc. and Worldpay Group plc for the quarterly and full-year periods ended December 31, 2017. The Company also provided guidance for the combined Company for the first quarter and full-year 2018 and furnished non-GAAP supplemental "historical as if combined" pro forma financial results for 2017 and 2016. Vantiv, Inc.'s acquisition of Worldpay Group plc closed on January 16, 2018.

 

"Both of our heritage companies performed well during 2017's fourth quarter, creating momentum for Worldpay as the leader in the rapidly expanding global payments industry," said Charles Drucker, chairman and co-chief executive officer.

 

Philip Jansen, co-chief executive officer at Worldpay, added, "Differentiated by our technological capabilities, distribution, scale, and talented colleagues, Worldpay is uniquely able to power global integrated omni-commerce, positioning us to do more for our clients together than either company could have achieved on its own."

(1) Combined company guidance excludes Worldpay Group plc Net Revenue and EPS contribution for the period prior to the transaction closing from January 1, 2018 - January 15, 2018. Combined company guidance is based on an assumed exchange rate of U.S. dollar/pound sterling of $1.35.

(2)  2017 actuals include Vantiv, Inc. results only.

 

Assuming the transaction closed on January 1, 2017,  Net Revenue outlook for three months and full year ended 2018 would have been $890-$905 million and $3,865-$3,955 million, representing revenue growth of 9-11% and 7-9%, respectively.

 

Supplemental Information

The company is providing non-GAAP supplemental information to illustrate what the combined Vantiv, Inc./Worldpay Group plc adjusted financial results would have been, given the assumptions outlined in the supplemental materials, had the transaction been effective at the beginning of 2016.

Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures

This earnings release presents non-GAAP and pro forma financial information including net revenue, adjusted EBITDA, Underlying EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per share. These are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP and adjusted financial performance measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.

Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached schedules.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this release are forward-looking statements including any statements regarding guidance and statements of a general economic or industry specific nature. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, guidance, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend," "believe," "may," "should," "can have," "likely" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this release are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you review and consider information presented herein, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They depend upon future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual future performance or results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Certain of these factors and other risks are discussed in the company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to adapt to developments and change in our industry; (ii) competition; (iii) unauthorized disclosure of data or security breaches; (iv) systems failures or interruptions; (v) our ability to expand our market share or enter new markets; (vi) our ability to successfully integrate the businesses of our predecessor companies; (vii) our ability to identify and complete acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships; (viii) failure to comply with applicable requirements of Visa, MasterCard or other payment networks or changes in those requirements; (ix) our ability to pass along fee increases; (x) termination of sponsorship or clearing services; (xi) loss of clients or referral partners; (xii) reductions in overall consumer, business and government spending; (xiii) fraud by merchants or others; (xiv) a decline in the use of credit, debit or prepaid cards; (xv) consolidation in the banking and retail industries; (xvi) changes in foreign currency exchange rates; (xvii) the effects of governmental regulation or changes in laws; (xviii) geopolitical, regulatory, tax and business risks associated with our international operations; and (xix) outcomes of future litigation or investigations and our dual-listings with the NYSE and LSE. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. More information on potential factors that could affect the company's financial results and performance is included from time to time in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the company's periodic reports filed with the SEC, including the company's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and its subsequent filings with the SEC.

 

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this release speaks only as of the date of this release. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

 

Pursuant to its obligations under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company will shortly file a report on Form 8-K with the SEC attaching the Company's Earnings Release in substantially the same form as set out above, as well as the Company's Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Investor Presentation, as exhibits to the Form 8-K.

(1) Net revenue is revenue, less network fees and other costs which primarily consist of pass through expenses incurred by us in connection with providing processing services to our clients, including Visa and Mastercard network association fees and payment network fees.

(2) Non-operating income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 primarily consists of a gain of approximately $418.9 million relating to the impact to the tax receivable agreement ("TRA") liability as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform") being enacted on December 22, 2017 and an unrealized gain of approximately $8.7 million for the three months and $33.1 million for the year ended, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of a deal contingent forward entered into in connection with the Worldpay Group plc acquisition, partially offset by the change in fair value of a TRA entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury ("Mercury TRA"). Non-operating expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016 relates to the change in fair value of the Mercury TRA as well as expenses relating to the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities in October 2016.

(3) Primarily includes an adjustment of $363.6 million to deferred taxes for the change in tax rates and the impact to the TRA discussed in (2) above, both resulting from the Tax Reform enacted on December 22, 2017.

(4) Due to our structure as a C corporation and Vantiv Holding's structure as a pass-through entity for tax purposes, the numerator in the diluted net income per share calculation is adjusted to reflect our income tax expense at an expected effective tax rate assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of our Class A common stock. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2017, approximately 15.3 million and 27.2 million weighted-average dilutive Class B units of Vantiv Holding were excluded in computing diluted net income per share because including them would have an antidilutive effect. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, approximately 35.0 million weighted-average Class B units of Vantiv Holding were excluded in computing diluted net income per share because including them would have an antidilutive effect. As the Class B units of Vantiv Holding were not included, the numerator used in the calculation of diluted net income per share was equal to the numerator used in the calculation of basic net income per share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Additionally, due to the net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017, any remaining potentially dilutive securities were also excluded from the denominator in computing dilutive net income per share.

The 2017 effective tax rate includes the impact of the excess tax benefits relating to stock compensation as a result of the Company adopting new stock compensation accounting guidance on January 1, 2017 which requires those benefits to be recorded in income tax expense.  Represents tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements.

(6) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (5) above, associated with a consolidated joint venture.

(7) The adjusted shares outstanding include 17.1 million and 27.2 million weighted average Class B units of Vantiv Holding and other potentially dilutive securities that are excluded from the GAAP dilutive net income per share calculation for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017, respectively, because including them would have an antidilutive effect. The adjusted shares outstanding include 35.0 million weighted-average Class B units that are excluded from the GAAP dilutive net income per share calculation for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016 because including them would have an antidilutive effect.

(1) Combined company guidance excludes Worldpay Group plc EPS contribution for the period prior to the transaction closing from January 1, 2018 to January 15, 2018. Combined company guidance is based on an assumed exchange rate of U.S. dollar/pound sterling of $1.35.

(3) Represents estimated ranges of adjustments for the following items: (a) acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, charges related to employee termination benefits and other transition activities; (b) share-based compensation; (c) amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions; (d) non-operating expense is primarily associated with the change in the fair value of a TRA entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury and a realized gain of approximately $56 million relating to the settlement of a deal contingent forward entered into in connection with the acquisition of Worldpay Group plc, (e) adjustments to income tax expense to reflect an effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the full year 2018 based on Tax Reform and a new tax structure, assuming conversion of the Fifth Third Bank non-controlling interests into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above; and (f) tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements.

 

 



PRELIMINARY ADJUSTED COMBINED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

 

We are providing this preliminary supplemental non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information to illustrate what the combined Vantiv, Inc./Worldpay Group plc (Company renamed Worldpay, Inc.) would have been had the transactions been effective at the beginning of 2016 with the new segment reporting structure, given the assumptions contained therein.

 

Management uses the preliminary adjusted combined non-GAAP supplemental information for purposes of evaluating business unit and consolidated company performance. The company therefore believes that the non-GAAP measures presented provide useful information to investors by allowing them to view the company's businesses through the eyes of management, facilitating comparison of results across historical periods and providing a focus on the underlying ongoing operating performance of its businesses.

 

The company uses the preliminary adjusted combined non-GAAP supplemental information to supplement the financial information presented for Vantiv, Inc. on a GAAP historical basis. This non-GAAP supplemental information is not to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

 

The preliminary historical adjusted combined financial information contained in the following supplemental information is for informational purposes only. These results do not necessarily reflect what the historical results of Worldpay, Inc. would have been if the acquisition of Worldpay Group plc had occurred on January 1, 2016. Nor is this information necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of Worldpay, Inc. The preparation of the preliminary adjusted combined financial information includes the use of estimates that may not have been accurate and assumptions that may not have been valid had the transactions occurred on January 1, 2016. However management believes them to be reasonable.

 

The preliminary historical adjusted combined financial information is not pro forma information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC regulation S-X, and the preparation of information in accordance with Article 11 would result in a significantly different presentation.

 

The preliminary historical adjusted combined financial information constitutes forward-looking information and is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual amounts to differ materially from those anticipated. See "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information" included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K or as amended in subsequent filings.

 

The preliminary historical adjusted combined amounts reflect the historical combined results of Vantiv, Inc. and Worldpay Group plc., including information for the following combined company segments.
