D+H Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Earnings
TORONTO, March 7, 2017 /CNW/ - DH Corporation (TSX:DH) ("D+H" or the "Company"), a leading provider of technology solutions to domestic and global financial institutions, reported its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016.
Fourth Quarter Highlights:
- Performance at the mid to upper end of our guidance
- Revenues up 0.4%, to $425.8 million from $424.1 million and Adjusted revenues down 2.6%, to $426.5 million from $437.7 million
- EBITDA up 6.7%, to $124.7 million from $116.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA down 19.6%, to $120.8 million from $150.1 million
- Goodwill impairment of $70.5 million in GTBS segment and a $50.5 million reclassification of forward FX hedge loss for a total of $121.0 million
- Net cash from operating activities up 4.9% to $100.9 million
- Debt repayments of $31 million
"Our results were in line with our expectations and the outlook we provided along with our third quarter results, with adjusted revenue coming in at the upper end of our guidance and adjusted EBITDA at the midpoint", said Gerrard Schmid, Chief Executive Officer of DH Corporation.
He went on to add "Specifically, our results reflect strength in both U.S. and Canadian Lending and a return to historical declination patterns in cheque volumes in Canada. GTBS performed below its historic growth profile and also faced a more difficult comparison to strong results in last year's fourth quarter. Accordingly we recognized a goodwill impairment on this segment. However, recent performance does not alter our view of the long term growth potential within GTBS and we remain encouraged by several positive attributes of the business. In aggregate we are pleased with the net cash that we generate across D+H, that has supported our ongoing investments in the company as well as our dividend and debt repayments".
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Financial Results:
- Revenues increased 0.4% in the fourth quarter to $425.8 million from $424.1 million in the same quarter in the prior year. Revenues increased due to growth in our Canadian segment revenues with growth in our lending solutions offset by a decrease in our payments solutions, lower revenues in our Global Transaction Banking Solutions ("GTBS") segment and in Lending and Integrated Core ("L&IC") revenues were consistent relative to the prior year with growth in lending solutions offset by a decrease in our integrated core solutions.
- For the full year, revenues increased 11.5% to $1,679.9 million from $1,506.6 million in 2015 primarily due to the full year inclusion of the GTBS segment acquired April 30, 2015, growth in our Canadian segment lending solutions partially offset by a decrease in our payments solutions, and growth in our L&IC segment with increases in our integrated core solutions, partially offset by a decrease in our lending solutions.
- Adjusted revenues(1) in the fourth quarter decreased 2.6% to $426.5 million from $437.7 million in the prior year period. For the full year, adjusted revenues increased 10.2% to $1,684.4 million from $1,528.2 million over 2015. Changes to the fourth quarter and year are consistent with the revenues for the quarter and year discussed above.
- Income from operating activities before depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")(1) in the fourth quarter increased 6.7%, to $124.7 million from $ 116.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in EBITDA was primarily due to lower acquisition-related and integration costs, global delivery initiatives that were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2015 and did not recur in the fourth quarter of 2016, changes in non-cash foreign exchange gains, and to a lesser extent by an increase in Canadian segment revenues. The growth in EBITDA was partially offset by increased professional and consulting fees, increased direct costs in our Canada and L&IC segments and unfavourable exchange rate variances over the prior year comparable period on certain accounts on our balance sheet.
- EBITDA for the year ended 2016 of $418.5 million decreased by $6.2 million, or 1.4%, primarily due to lower revenue in L&IC lending solutions due to the LaserPro renewal cycle, increased direct expenses and increased costs associated with product development and risk initiatives. The decrease in EBITDA was further impacted by a decline in our Canadian segment cheque business, reduced revenues in our GTBS cash management business and increased corporate infrastructure investments. The decline in EBITDA was partially offset by the full year inclusion of our GTBS segment results in 2016 and, to a lesser extent, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the fourth quarter decreased 19.6% to $120.8 million (28.3% margin), from $150.1 million (34.3% margin) in the same prior year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced revenues in our GTBS segment, increased professional and consulting fees in GTBS, reduced integrated core revenues and increased direct costs in our L&IC segment, and unfavourable exchange rate variances on certain amounts in our balance sheet.
- Our full year 2016 Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5.2% to $449.9 million (26.7% margin), from $474.7 million (31.1% margin) in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower revenue in L&IC lending solutions due to the LaserPro renewal cycle and increased costs associated with rationalization, product development, and risk initiatives within the GTBS segment. Adjusted EBITDA was also impacted by a decline in our Canadian segment cheque business due to lower cheque revenues partially offset by growth in our lending solutions, reduced revenues in our GTBS cash management business and increased corporate infrastructure investments. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by the full year inclusion of our GTBS segment results in 2016 and, to a lesser extent, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
- In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized an impairment of goodwill of $121.0 million, comprised of $70.5million of impairment on goodwill in the GTBS segment and $50.6 million related to the reclassification from OCI to net (loss) income of losses incurred on forward foreign exchange contracts established at the time of the Fundtech acquisition to hedge the foreign currency exposure associated with the USD purchase price. We also recognized an impairment loss of $16.2 million related to our acquired intangible assets in our cash management business. The impairment loss was driven by a year-over-year reduction in cash flows originating from the elongation of the sales cycle for our payment hub technologies and from the repositioning of our cash management business, coupled with varying market related assumptions used in the goodwill valuation analysis. This charge does not impact management's view of our market competitiveness and the long term growth potential within GTBS.
- Consolidated net loss of $94.4 million (loss of $0.88 per share, diluted) in the fourth quarter decreased from net income of $13.3 million ($0.13 per share, diluted) in the prior year period, primarily due to an impairment on goodwill and an impairment on intangible assets. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in income tax recovery, an increase in EBITDA, and a decrease in finance expense.
- Consolidated net loss of $67.7 million (loss of $0.63 per share, diluted) for the full year 2016 decreased from net income of $84.0 million ($0.84 per share, diluted) in the prior year period, primarily due to an impairment of goodwill and an increase in impairment on intangible assets, an increase in finance expense, and a decline in EBITDA. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in income tax recovery.
- Adjusted net income(1) decreased to $57.0 million in the fourth quarter from $82.7 million in the same period in the prior year.
- Adjusted net income per share, diluted(1) was $0.53 in the fourth quarter compared to $0.78 in the same period in the prior year.
- Adjusted net income per share, diluted(1) was $2.01 for the full year compared to $2.55 in the same period in the prior year.
- Net cash from operating activities increased by 4.9% in the fourth quarter, to $100.9 million from $96.1 million in the same period in prior year. Adjusted net cash from operating activities(1) decreased by 11.0% in the fourth quarter, to $100.0 million from $112.4 million in the same prior year period.
- Net cash from operating activities increased by 32.6% for the full year, to $293.5 million from $221.4 million in the same in the prior year. Adjusted net cash from operating activities(1) increased by 17.2% for the full year, to $330.8 million from $282.2 million in the prior year.
- Loans, borrowings and convertible debentures totalled $1.9 billion at December 31, 2016 compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2015. The Company repaid $31.0 million of debt during the fourth quarter of 2016 and a total of $131.0 million since the acquisition of Fundtech.
- The Total Net Funded Debt to EBITDA(1) ratio was 3.276x at December 31, 2016, compared to 3.451x following the closing of the acquisition of Fundtech on April 30, 2015, and 3.185x at December 31, 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company renegotiated debt covenants to extend the timing of the step down in the net debt to EBITDA covenant requirement.
- During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company announced a reduction of its quarterly dividend from $0.32 per share to $0.12 per share, effective January 1, 2017, which is consistent with the ongoing strategic transformation of D+H into a leading FinTech company.

Outlook

Formation of Board Special Committee and 2017 Guidance
In December 2016, we acknowledged that a process has been established by our Board of Directors, including the formation of a Special Committee of independent Directors, to address expressions of interest from certain third parties to acquire DH. There can be no assurances that any transaction will result from this process. The Special Committee has retained professional advisors to assist in this effort. DH does not intend to comment further on these or other discussions unless a definitive agreement is reached with any third party or unless otherwise required by law.
As a result of the above mentioned process, the Company is currently not intending to provide specific financial guidance for fiscal 2017 until this process is complete, at which time it will assess whether financial guidance is warranted. Note that the Company will be reporting its 2017 results in its new segments in the first quarter report of 2017 along with segment revenue and EBITDA margin outlook.

USE OF NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION
D+H's financial results are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). D+H reports several non-IFRS financial measures, including "Adjusted revenues", "Bookings", "Constant Currency", "Proforma Adjusted Revenues", "EBITDA", "EBITDA margin" (EBITDA divided by revenues), "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA margin" (Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted revenues), "Adjusted net income", "Adjusted net income per share (diluted)" and "Adjusted net cash from operating activities". D+H also reports "Debt to EBITDA ratio", which is also not a defined term under IFRS. See "Non-IFRS financial measures and key performance indicators" in D+H's MD&A for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016 for a more complete description of these terms and for reconciliations to their most directly comparable IFRS measure, where applicable. Any non-IFRS financial measures should be considered in context with the IFRS financial statement presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for IFRS revenues, net income or cash flows. Furthermore, D+H's financial measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled financial measures of other companies.
