METAVANTE ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

   

Revenue growth of 7 percent for the quarter; 8 percent for the first half

 

   

Segment operating income up 10 percent

 

   

EPS of $0.31; cash EPS of $0.36

 

   

Maintaining full year guidance

MILWAUKEE, July 28, 2008 – Metavante Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:MV) today reported second quarter 2008 revenue of $424.8 million, up 7 percent compared to $395.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. Organic growth was driven by higher transaction volumes in the payment businesses and higher professional services activity. Acquisitions added approximately 1 percentage point to the growth rate.

Segment operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $117.9 million, an increase of 10 percent compared to the second quarter of 2007. The segment operating margin for the second quarter of 2008 improved to 27.8 percent, an increase of 0.6 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2007.

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $36.9 million, or $0.31 per share. Cash net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $43.7 million, or $0.36 per share. Comparison of either of these financial metrics to prior year results is not meaningful due to the significantly different capital structure of the company prior to the separation from Marshall & Ilsley Corporation in November 2007.

EBITDA in the second quarter of 2008 was $121.0 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to adjusted EBITDA of $111.2 million in the second quarter of 2007.

Cash provided by operating activities for the first half of 2008 was $148.3 million, compared to $155.3 million in the first half of 2007. Free cash flow for the first half of 2008 was $82.5 million, compared to $83.4 million in the first half of 2007.

Commenting on the results, Frank R. Martire, president and chief executive officer, said, “Our second quarter results met our expectations and completed a good first half of the year. Organic growth was solid, and benefited from success in prior periods cross-selling our comprehensive product portfolio and capturing new business. The combination of operating leverage and cost productivity allowed us to continue to make additional investments in future growth while still improving current profitability.”

Cash net income (including per share amounts), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures. See the attachments to this release under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation of these measures and reconciliations to GAAP financial measures.

Financial Solutions Group (FSG)

Metavante’s Financial Solutions Group offers a comprehensive suite of technology and business services that are critical to a financial institution’s ability to attract, expand, and service existing and prospective customers.

FSG’s second quarter 2008 revenue was $164.2 million, an increase of 6 percent compared to $155.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. Segment operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $37.6 million compared to $40.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. The decline in segment operating income was due to revenue mix, price, and increased investments in product development, which more than offset the benefit of higher volume. Segment operating margin was 22.9 percent in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 26.1 percent in the second quarter of 2007.

Payment Solutions Group (PSG)

Metavante’s Payment Solutions Group (PSG) offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive suites of payment products and services, including credit, debit and prepaid debit card management, a national payments network in NYCE, as well as specialized solutions to facilitate government and healthcare payments.

PSG’s second quarter 2008 revenue was $260.6 million, an increase of 8 percent compared to $240.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. Segment operating income in the second quarter of 2008 was $80.3 million compared to $67.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in segment operating income was driven by the benefits of cost actions taken in the Image business in the fourth quarter of 2007 and operating leverage in other business units. Segment operating margin was 30.8 percent in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 27.9 percent in the second quarter of 2007.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 was $18.4 million higher than the second quarter of 2007 as a result of borrowings incurred in connection with the separation from Marshall & Ilsley Corporation in November 2007.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2008 was 37 percent compared to 35 percent in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the expiration of the research and development tax credit for federal tax purposes on December 31, 2007.

Outlook

Commenting on the outlook, Martire added, “At the mid-point of our fiscal year, it is becoming increasingly apparent that 2008 will be another good year for Metavante. Continued strong execution, coupled with some stability in consumer spending behavior and customer investment during the second half, should enable us to deliver full year financial results consistent with our

guidance. While we remain focused on closing a solid 2008, we also recognize that sustaining organic growth in 2009 and beyond requires us to work harder to sign new business in a challenging economic environment, and continue to make investments in technologies and capabilities that will drive future growth.”

The full year 2008 guidance provided by the company in April 2008 is outlined below.

 

•       Organic revenue growth

   4% to 6%

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA

Metavante’s management believes that “EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA” are useful for evaluating performance against peer companies within its industry, as well as providing investors additional transparency to financial measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, Metavante utilizes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation and determination of the price of potential acquisition candidates, and to explain trends in its operating performance and believes it provides useful information about its ability to incur and service indebtedness. Also, EBITDA is included in the financial covenants applicable to Metavante’s credit facilities. EBITDA, as defined in the financial covenants, also excludes certain non-cash charges, such as impairment charges and stock option expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding costs related to the separation from Marshall & Ilsley Corporation in 2007. Metavante’s definition of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may be different from definitions used by other companies.

Cash Net Income (Including Per Share Amounts) and Adjusted Cash Net Income

Metavante management defines “cash net income” as net income before (1) stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, and (2) the amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, net of tax. Diluted cash earnings per share is calculated by dividing cash net income by the average diluted shares for the respective period. “Adjusted cash net income” excludes the items described above as well as the costs related to the separation from Marshall & Ilsley Corporation in 2007. Metavante’s management uses cash net income (including per share amounts) and adjusted cash net income to assess business performance and believes that they are useful for evaluating performance against peer companies within its industry, as well as providing investors additional transparency to a financial measure used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Metavante’s definition of cash net income (including per share amounts) and adjusted cash net income may differ from definitions used by other companies.
