Vantiv Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results

Net Revenue Increased 28% to $424 Million

Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income per Share Increased 19% to $0.56

Increased Full-Year Guidance

CINCINNATI - July 29, 2015 - Vantiv, Inc. (NYSE: VNTV) (“Vantiv” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015. Revenue increased 29% to $786.0 million in the second quarter as compared to $608.7 million in the prior year period. Net revenue increased 28% to $423.6 million in the second quarter as compared to $331.3 million in the prior year period, primarily due to strong growth in our Merchant Services segment. On a GAAP basis, net income (loss) attributable to Vantiv, Inc. was $36.5 million or $0.24 per diluted share in the second quarter as compared to ($1.4) million or ($0.01) per diluted share in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income increased 22% to $112.8 million in the second quarter as compared to $92.7 million in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income per share increased 19% to $0.56 in the second quarter as compared to $0.47 in the prior year period. (See Schedule 2 for pro forma adjusted net income and Schedule 6 for GAAP net income reconciliation to pro forma adjusted net income.)
 
“This was a great quarter for Vantiv. In addition to delivering strong financial results and increasing our outlook for the year, we also reached several important new milestones,” said Charles Drucker, president and chief executive officer of Vantiv. “We celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Mercury acquisition, which established our leading position within the fast-growing integrated payments channel, and we announced important new wins. Additionally, I am happy to announce that we terminated a portion of our TRAs, which will generate meaningful earnings accretion and a strong return for our shareholders.”

Merchant Services

Merchant Services net revenue increased 37% to $337.1 million in the second quarter as compared to $245.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a 23% increase in transactions and a 12% increase in net revenue per transaction. Our prior acquisition of Mercury Payment Systems (“Mercury”) was completed during the second quarter of 2014. On a pro forma organic basis, Merchant Services net revenue would have increased 11% in the second quarter as compared to the prior year period if we had owned Mercury during both periods. Sales and marketing expenses increased 39% to $116.9 million in the second quarter as compared to $84.0 million in the prior year period, primarily due to impacts from the Mercury acquisition.

Financial Institution Services

Financial Institution Services net revenue increased 1% to $86.6 million in the second quarter as compared to $85.8 million in the prior year period as a 6% increase in transactions was partially offset by lower net revenue per transaction. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 7% to $6.1 million in the second quarter as compared to $6.5 million in the prior year period.

Tax Receivable Agreement Termination

Vantiv entered into an agreement with the selling shareholders of Mercury to terminate portions of the obligations under the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) established at the time of the acquisition. The initial payment under this agreement will generate approximately $0.05 in accretion to pro forma adjusted net income per share in 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company obtained additional call options to terminate additional obligations under the TRAs in annual installments through 2019. If the Company does not exercise any call option, the selling shareholders can exercise a corresponding put option to require the Company to terminate those additional obligations.

“Strategic capital allocation is a priority,” said chief operating and chief financial officer Mark Heimbouch. “We have generated strong returns through a combination of successful M&A as well as return of capital to shareholders, principally through share repurchase programs and the purchase of some of the unique tax attributes we have available to us like these TRAs. These actions underscore our commitment to drive shareholder value.”

Third Quarter and Full-Year Financial Outlook

Based on the current level of transaction trends and new business activity, net revenue for the third quarter of 2015 is expected to be $410 to $415 million, representing an increase of 8% to 9% above the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income per share for the third quarter of 2015 is expected to be $0.54 to $0.56, representing an increase of 10% to 14% above the prior year period. GAAP net income per share attributable to Vantiv, Inc. is expected to be $0.23 to $0.25 for the third quarter of 2015.

Based on our strong performance year-to-date and outlook for the third quarter, our full-year 2015 expectations have increased. Net revenue for the full-year 2015 is expected to be $1,625 to $1,645 million, representing growth of 16% to 17% above the prior year. Pro forma adjusted net income per share for the full-year 2015 is expected to be $2.15 to $2.20, representing growth of 15% to 18% above the prior year. GAAP net income per share attributable to Vantiv, Inc. is expected to be $0.90 to $0.95 for the full-year 2015.

Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures

This earnings release presents non-GAAP and pro forma financial information including net revenue, adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted net income, and pro forma 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 pro forma financial performance measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. 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 identify and complete acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships; (vii) failure to comply with applicable requirements of Visa, MasterCard or other payment networks or changes in those requirements; (viii) our ability to pass along fee increases; (ix) termination of sponsorship or clearing services; (x) loss of clients or referral partners; (xi) reductions in overall consumer, business and government spending; (xii) fraud by merchants or others; (xiii) a decline in the use of credit, debit or prepaid cards; (xiv) consolidation in the banking and retail industries; (xv) the effects of governmental regulation or changes in laws; and (xvi) outcomes of future litigation or investigations. 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.

(1) Non-operating expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily relate to the change in fair value of a tax receivable agreement ("TRA") entered into in June 2014. The amounts for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily relate to the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities in June 2014 and the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014.
(2) 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. The expected effective tax rate for 2015 and 2014 was 36.0% and 36.5%, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, due to a net loss, basic and diluted net income per share are computed in the same manner. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the 47,901,837 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. The components of the diluted net income per share calculation are as follows:

Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures
This schedule presents non-GAAP and pro forma financial measures, which are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
Pro forma adjusted net income is derived from GAAP net income, adjusting for the following items: (a) amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions; (b) non-operating expenses primarily associated with the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities in June 2014 and the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014; (c) adjustments to income tax expense assuming conversion of the Fifth Third Bank non-controlling interest into shares of Class A common stock; (d) share-based compensation; (e) acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, costs associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and charges related to employee termination benefits and other transition activities; 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.
 
(1) See schedule 8 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA.
(2) Represents income tax expense at an effective rate of 36.0% for 2015 and 36.5% for 2014, assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at 36.0% for the remainder of 2015.
(3) 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.
(4) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (2) above, associated with a consolidated joint venture formed in May 2014.
(5) Pro forma adjusted net income assumes the conversion of the Fifth Third Bank non-controlling interest into shares of Class A common stock.
(6) Pro forma adjusted net income per share is calculated as pro forma adjusted net income divided by adjusted shares outstanding.

Pro Forma Adjusted Financial Measures
This schedule presents pro forma adjusted financial measures, which are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
 
(1) Represents acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, costs associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and charges related to employee termination benefits and other transition activities.
(2) Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions.
(3) Non-operating expenses during 2015 primarily relate to the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014. The amount for 2014 primarily relates to the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities in June 2014 and the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014.
(4) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (5) below, associated with a consolidated joint venture formed in May 2014.
(5) Represents adjustments to income tax expense to reflect an effective tax rate of 36.0% for 2015 and 36.5% for 2014, assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at 36.0% for the remainder of 2015.
(6) 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.

Pro Forma Adjusted Financial Measures
This schedule presents pro forma adjusted financial measures, which are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
 
(1) Represents acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, costs associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and charges related to employee termination benefits and other transition activities.
(2) Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions.
(3) Non-operating expenses during 2015 primarily relate to the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014. The amount for 2014 primarily relates to the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities in June 2014 and the change in fair value of a TRA entered into in June 2014.
(4) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (5) below, associated with a consolidated joint venture formed in May 2014.
(5) Represents adjustments to income tax expense to reflect an effective tax rate of 36.0% for 2015 and 36.5% for 2014, assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at 36.0% for the remainder of 2015.
(6) 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.
