“ACI’s sales bookings in 2014 exceeded expectations as we set several new records, including total SNET and sequential increase in backlog,” commented Phil Heasley, President and CEO, ACI Worldwide. “We are seeing particularly strong demand for our newest solutions, which results in larger and more complex contracts. This new demand has created a record sales pipeline, including pending contracts, and validates our Universal Payments strategy and development efforts. Entering 2015, we are very optimistic about ACI’s growing opportunity in the rapidly changing payments industry.”

Q4 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
New sales bookings, net of term extensions (SNET), increased 10% compared to the prior-year quarter. New application bookings grew 118% over last year, offsetting a 14% decline in add-on and capacity sales. While these results were better than expected, the bookings mix was heavily weighted towards new application and hosted contracts, which require implementation prior to revenue recognition. Consequently a higher percentage of this revenue, and margin, was delayed until future quarters.

Revenue in Q4 was $290 million, an increase of $7 million, or 2%, over the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP revenue in Q4 was $291 million, an increase of $6 million over the prior-year quarter. Excluding the incremental contribution from Official Payments and Retail Decisions (ReD), non-GAAP revenue declined 6%.

Operating income was $79 million for the quarter, a decline of $7 million from the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP operating income for the quarter was $86 million, a decline of $8 million from the prior-year quarter. Q4 adjusted EBITDA of $107 million was 9% below the prior year’s $117 million. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA were both impacted by the sales mix and related revenue recognition delays, as discussed above.

Net income for the quarter was $46 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to net income of $50 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, during the same period the prior year. Operating free cash flow in Q4 was $72 million, up from $62 million in the prior-year quarter.

We ended the year with a 60-month backlog of $4.2 billion and 12-month backlog of $903 million, up $46 million and $5 million, respectively, from September 30, 2014. After adjusting for foreign currency fluctuations, our 60-month backlog grew $79 million and our 12-month backlog grew $13 million.

FULL YEAR 2014 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
New sales bookings, net of term extensions for the year was $702 million, up 17% from $600 million in 2013. In particular, we continue to see strong demand for our hosted solutions, with our SaaS bookings up 61% over last year.

Revenue for the full year 2014 was $1.016 billion, an increase of $151 million, or 17%. Non-GAAP revenue for the full year 2014 was $1.018 billion, up 17% from the prior year’s $871 million. These figures include $2 million and $6 million, respectively, in deferred revenue not reportable under GAAP purchase accounting requirements. Excluding the incremental contribution from Online Resources, Official Payments and ReD, organic revenue growth declined 2% for the full year.

Operating income for the full year 2014 was $138 million, versus $123 million for the full year 2013. Non-GAAP operating income for the year was $163 million, up 5% from the prior year’s $155 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $261 million for the year grew 9% from the prior year’s $239 million. Non-GAAP figures include $2 million and $6 million of deferred revenue not reportable under GAAP purchase accounting requirements and exclude significant transaction-related expenses of $23 million and $26 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding pass through interchange revenues of $116 million and $38 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively, net adjusted EBITDA margin represented 29% of revenue in 2014, in line with 2013.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $68 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to net income of $64 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income for the year was $84 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, versus $85 million, or $0.70 per diluted share for 2013. Operating free cash flow for the year was $134 million, down from $151 million the prior year.

As of December 31, 2014, we had $77 million in cash on hand and a debt balance of $892 million, down from last quarter’s $946 million. We repurchased 3.6 million shares of our stock in 2014 for approximately $70 million and have approximately $138 million remaining on our current authorization.

2015 GUIDANCE
We expect to generate non-GAAP revenue in a range of $1.05 to $1.08 billion for the full year, which represents 3-6% organic growth after adjusting for foreign currency fluctuations. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in a range of $280 to $290 million. We expect to generate between $225 and $235 million in non-GAAP revenue the first quarter. Lastly, we expect full year 2015 net new sales bookings to increase in the upper single digit range.

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the tables, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries related to the acquisitions of S1 Corporation and Online Resources Corporation and significant transaction-related expenses, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Certain non-GAAP measures include:

  • Non-GAAP revenue: revenue plus deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 and Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements. Non-GAAP revenue should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, revenue.
  • Non-GAAP operating income: operating income (loss) plus deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 and Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and significant transaction-related expenses. Non-GAAP operating income should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income (loss).
  • Adjusted EBITDA: net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation, as well as deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 and Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and significant transaction related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income (loss).

ACI is also presenting operating free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, plus payments associated with cash settlement of acquisition related options and opening balance sheet liabilities, net after-tax payments associated with employee-related actions and facility closures, net after-tax payments associated with significant transaction-related costs, net after-tax payments associated with IBM IT outsourcing transition and termination, and less capital expenditures. Operating free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We utilize this non-GAAP financial measure, and believe it is useful to investors, as an indicator of cash flow available for debt repayment and other investing activities, such as capital investments and acquisitions. We utilize operating free cash flow as a further indicator of operating performance and for planning investing activities. Operating free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities. A limitation of operating free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. This measure also does not exclude mandatory debt service obligations and, therefore, does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe that operating free cash flow is useful to investors to provide disclosures of our operating results on the same basis as that used by our management.

ACI also includes backlog estimates, which include all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. We have historically included assumed renewals in backlog estimates based upon automatic renewal provisions in the executed contract and our historic experience with customer renewal rates.

Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Our 60-month backlog estimate represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions:

  • Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term.
  • License, facilities management, and software hosting arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences.
  • Non-recurring license arrangements are assumed to renew as recurring revenue streams.
  • Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
  • Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period.

Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates require substantial judgment and are based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong, including for reasons outside of management’s control. For example, our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer’s industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 60-month period.

Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue.
