Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Clearing, Settlement and Sponsorship Services Agreement, Master Services Agreement and Referral Agreement with Fifth Third Bank
 
On July 27, 2016, Vantiv, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vantiv, Inc. (Vantiv, LLC and Vantiv, Inc. hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company”), entered into the following agreements with Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”):
Clearing, Settlement and Sponsorship Services Agreement (the “Sponsorship Agreement”) pursuant to which Fifth Third will continue to act as our member “sponsor” to the Visa, MasterCard and other payment network associations as non-financial institutions (such as payment processors, independent sales organizations, third party service providers, merchants, non-member financial institutions) must obtain the “sponsorship” of a member bank in order to participate in such associations. Under the Sponsorship Agreement Fifth Third transfers the responsibility for all card association requirements and fees to us as a “sponsored participant.” Fifth Third is the primary provider of our payment network sponsorship. The Sponsorship Agreement terminates on December 31, 2024.
Master Services Agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to continue to provide Fifth Third depository institutions with various electronic fund transfer services including debit card processing and ATM terminal driving services. The Master Services Agreement is an exclusive agreement, subject to certain customary qualifications, which is coterminous with the Sponsorship Agreement and terminates on December 31, 2024.
Referral Agreement (the “Referral Agreement”) pursuant to which Fifth Third will refer various parties exclusively to us, including commercial and retail merchant clients of Fifth Third depository institutions that request merchant (credit or debit card) acceptance services. In return for these referrals and the resulting processing service relationships, we will make ongoing incentive payments to Fifth Third. The Referral Agreement is coterminous with the Sponsorship Agreement and terminates on December 31, 2024.
Since Fifth Third is a stockholder of the Company, a special committee of the Company’s board of directors comprised of independent, disinterested directors authorized the Sponsorship Agreement, Master Services Agreement, and Referral Agreement.
Tax Receivable Purchase Addendum
On July 27, 2016, the Company entered into a purchase addendum in connection with our tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) with Fifth Third (the “Fifth Third TRA Addendum”) to terminate and settle a portion of our obligations owed to Fifth Third under a TRA (the “Fifth Third TRA”) and the NPC Group, Inc. TRA (the “NPC TRA”). Under the terms of the Fifth Third TRA Addendum, the Company paid approximately $116.3 million to Fifth Third to settle approximately $330.7 million of obligations under the Fifth Third TRA, the difference of which will be recorded as an addition to paid-in capital. In addition, the Fifth Third TRA Addendum provides that the Company may be obligated to pay up to a total of approximately $170.7 million to Fifth Third to terminate and settle certain remaining obligations under the Fifth Third TRA and the NPC TRA, totaling an estimated $394.1 million, the difference of which will be recorded as an addition to paid-in capital upon the exercise of the Call Options or Put Options (as defined below). If the associated Call Options or Put Options are exercised, 10% of the obligations would be settled on each of March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2017 and 15% of the obligations would be settled on each of March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2018.
Under the terms of the Fifth Third TRA Addendum, beginning March 1, 2017, June 1, 2017, September 1, 2017, December 1, 2017, March 1, 2018, June 1, 2018, September 1, 2018 and December 1, 2018, and ending March 10, 2017, June 10, 2017, September 10, 2017, December 10, 2017, March 10, 2018, June 10, 2018,

2



September 10, 2018 and December 10, 2018, respectively, the Company is granted call options (collectively, the “Call Options”) pursuant to which certain additional obligations of the Company under the Fifth Third TRA and the NPC TRA would be terminated and settled in consideration for cash payments of $15.1 million, $15.6 million, $16.1 million, $16.6 million, $25.6 million, $26.4 million, $27.2 million and $28.1 million, respectively.
Under the terms of the Fifth Third TRA Addendum, if the Company does not exercise the relevant Call Option, Fifth Third Bank is granted put options beginning March 20, 2017, June 20, 2017, September 20, 2017, December 20, 2017, March 20, 2018, June 20, 2018, September 20, 2018 and December 20, 2018, and ending March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, respectively (collectively, the “Put Options”), pursuant to which certain additional obligations of the Company would be terminated and settled in consideration for cash payments with similar amounts to the Call Options.
Except to the extent the Company’s obligations under the Fifth Third TRA and the NPC TRA have been terminated and settled in full in accordance with the terms of the Fifth Third TRA Addendum, the Fifth Third TRA and the NPC TRA will each remain in effect, and the parties thereto will continue to have all rights and obligations thereunder.
Since Fifth Third is a stockholder of the Company, a special committee of the Company’s board of directors comprised of independent, disinterested directors authorized the TRA Addendum.  See Note 1 of Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about the Fifth Third TRA and the NPC TRA.
The foregoing descriptions of the Sponsorship Agreement, Master Services Agreement, and Fifth Third TRA Addendum do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Sponsorship Agreement, Master Services Agreement, and Fifth Third TRA Addendum, which will be filed with the Company’s next periodic report.

Vantiv Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

Strong Second Quarter Results Leads Vantiv to Raise its Full Year Guidance

Vantiv Renews Fifth Third Bank Relationship and Terminates Certain TRAs


CINCINNATI, July 28, 2016 - Vantiv, Inc. (NYSE: VNTV) (“Vantiv” or the “company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. Total revenue increased 13% to $891 million in the second quarter as compared to $786 million in the prior year period. Net revenue increased 13% to $480 million as compared to $424 million in the prior year period, reflecting strong growth in both business segments. On a GAAP basis, net income per diluted share attributable to Vantiv, Inc. increased 58% to $0.38 as compared to $0.24 in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income per share increased 25% to $0.70 as compared to $0.56 in the prior year period. (See Schedule 2 for pro forma adjusted net income per share.)

“Our performance in the first half of the year as well as the opportunities that we see before us give us confidence,” said Charles Drucker, president and chief executive officer at Vantiv. “Complexity and change play to our strengths, and we continue to serve our clients well.”

Merchant Services
Merchant Services net revenue increased 15% to $388 million in the second quarter as compared to $337 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a 9% increase in transactions and a 6% increase in net revenue per transaction as our high growth channels continued to grow at above market rates. Sales and marketing expenses increased 19% to $139 million in the second quarter as compared to $117 million in the prior year period, primarily due to new sales growth in partner channels.

Financial Institution Services
Financial Institution Services net revenue increased 7% to $93 million in the second quarter as compared to $87 million in the prior year period, primarily due to an 8% increase in net revenue per transaction. Net revenue per transaction growth benefited from the contribution of value added services, including the impact of EMV card reissuance and fraud related services. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 5% to $5.7 million in the second quarter as compared to $6.1 million in the prior year period.

Fifth Third Renewal and Tax Receivable Agreement Termination
Fifth Third Bank and Vantiv agreed to renew their commercial relationship and extend it through the end of 2024. This relationship includes services provided to Fifth Third Bank within Vantiv’s Financial Institution Services segment, as well as ongoing merchant referrals to Vantiv from Fifth Third Bank.

Fifth Third Bank and Vantiv also agreed to terminate and settle portions of Vantiv’s obligations under their tax receivable agreements (“TRAs”). This agreement includes an initial payment of approximately $116 million to Fifth Third Bank in order to terminate and settle approximately $331 million of obligations. Under the terms of the agreement, Vantiv has the option to terminate and settle additional obligations under the TRAs in 2017 and 2018. If all options are exercised, the combination of the renewal and the TRA terminations will generate the potential for approximately $0.06 in on-going annual pro forma adjusted net income per share beginning in 2017, as well as the potential for an additional $0.06 in on-going annual pro forma adjusted net income per share beginning in 2018.

Full-Year and Third Quarter Financial Outlook
Based on our strong performance in the second quarter and increased confidence in our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are increasing our full-year 2016 expectations. Net revenue for the full-year 2016 is expected to be $1,850 to $1,875 million, representing an increase of 10% to 11% above the prior year. On a GAAP basis, net income per diluted share attributable to Vantiv, Inc. is expected to be $1.39 to $1.44 for the full-year 2016. Pro forma adjusted net income per share is expected to be $2.61 to $2.66 for the full-year 2016.

For the third quarter of 2016, net revenue is expected to be $470 to $475 million, representing an increase of 9% to 10% above the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, net income per diluted share attributable to Vantiv, Inc. is expected to be $0.37 to $0.39 for the third quarter of 2016. Pro forma adjusted net income per share is expected to be $0.67 to $0.69 for the third quarter of 2016.

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.

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) 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, payment network fees, third party processing expenses, telecommunication charges, postage and card production costs.
(2) Non-operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 primarily relate to the change in fair value of a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury.
(3) 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 2016 and 2015 was 36.0%. 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, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.
 
Pro forma adjusted net income is derived from GAAP income before applicable income taxes and adjusted for the following items described below:
(1) Represents acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, 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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 primarily relate to the change in the fair value of a TRA entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury.
(4) Represents adjusted income tax expense to reflect an effective tax rate of 36.0% for 2016 and 2015, 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 below. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at 36.0% for the remainder of 2016.
(5) 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 (4) above, associated with a consolidated joint venture.
