TORONTO, July 29, 2014 /CNW/ - DH Corporation ("D+H" or the "Company") (TSX: DH), a leading provider of technology solutions to domestic and global financial institutions, today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
"In both reporting periods, D+H generated strong growth in our key financial metrics" said Gerrard Schmid, Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to funding our dividend, our solid cash flows allowed us to increase investments in targeted new product developments and technology integration, and contributed to another voluntary debt repayment, consistent with our goal for leverage reduction. Results to date are on plan and we are encouraged by positive customer reception to our unified brand and integrated sales activities which will help us to advance our standing in the financial technology ("FinTech") market."
As expected, recent strategic acquisitions continued to positively diversify D+H's business. In the second quarter, the U.S. Segment accounted for 42% of Adjusted revenues1, versus 14% in the same period a year ago, while lending processing and banking technology service areas represented 74% of second quarter Adjusted revenues compared to 60% a year ago.
Second Quarter Highlights
- Revenues from continuing operations increased 45.1% to $286.0 million from $197.1 million compared to the same quarter in 2013, reflecting the inclusion of Harland Financial Solutions' ("HFS") revenues in the U.S. Segment. After eliminating the impacts of foreign exchange, revenues increased by 40.1%.
- Adjusted revenues of $292.2 million were $95.0 million, or 48.2%, higher than the same quarter in 2013, or 42.9% higher excluding impacts of foreign exchange.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 59.4% to $93.0 million (31.8% margin) from $58.3 million (29.6% margin) compared to the same quarter in 2013. After eliminating the impacts of foreign exchange, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 53.2%.
- Net income increased to $29.9 million ($0.3697 per share, basic and $0.3687 per share, diluted), from $13.6 million ($0.2298 per share, basic and diluted) in the same quarter last year, reflecting higher EBITDA, offset by higher amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions and increased interest expense attributable to the HFS acquisition. Net income in the second quarter of 2013 was impacted by a loss from discontinued operations of $8.8 million.
- Adjusted net income1 increased 50.4% to $51.5 million from $34.2 million mainly due to the addition of HFS. Adjusted net income per share1 increased 10.3% year-over-year to $0.6369, from $0.5774 and reflects the additional common shares issued in connection with the HFS acquisition.
- Net debt repayments during the second quarter of 2014 were $5.0 million, resulting in a June 30, 2014 Debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.79. This ratio, after eliminating the impacts of non-cash foreign exchange volatility, was 2.75.
- D+H paid $0.32 per share in dividends to shareholders.
- As part of a broader strategy to unify the D+H brand and increase brand recognition across North America and globally, D+H announced that it has changed its name to "DH Corporation" from "Davis + Henderson Corporation". The Company will continue to operate as "D+H" in the market.
- Effective September 2, 2014, Karen Weaver assumes the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of D+H, replacing Brian Kyle, whose resignation was previously announced. Ms. Weaver has more than 30 years of related experience with leading U.S. and Canadian public companies.
Six-Month Highlights
- Revenues from continuing operations increased 49.7% to $552.2 million from $368.8 million a year ago, or 44.4%, after eliminating the impact of foreign exchange, primarily reflecting the inclusion of HFS in the U.S. Segment.
- Adjusted revenues of $567.9 million were higher by $199.1 million, or 54.0%, compared to the same period a year ago and increased 48.3% after eliminating the impact of foreign exchange.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased by 69.4% to $171.7 million (30.2% margin) from $101.4 million (27.5% margin) and increased 62.2% after eliminating the impact of foreign exchange.
- Net income was $41.9 million ($0.5186 per share, basic and $0.5173 per share, diluted), an increase of $22.5 million, or 116.5%, compared to $19.4 million ($0.3267 per share, basic and diluted) for the first six months in 2013, reflecting higher EBITDA, partially offset by higher amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions and increased interest expense attributable to the HFS acquisition. Net income in the same period of 2013 was impacted by a loss from discontinued operations of $19.5 million.
- Adjusted net income increased 57.5% year-over-year to $90.3 million from $57.3 million mainly due to the addition of HFS. Adjusted net income per share increased 15.5% to $1.1177 from $0.9675, and was impacted by the additional shares in connection with the acquisition of HFS.
- Net debt repayments during the first six months of 2014 were $10.0 million.
- D+H paid $0.64 per share in dividends to shareholders.
- D+H reaffirmed its leadership position in the FinTech marketplace by being ranked the top Canadian Software-as-a-Service company in the Branham300 rankings for the second year in a row.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of financial condition and results of operations of DH Corporation (the "Corporation" or the "Company" or "D+H" or the "Business"), previously Davis + Henderson Corporation, has been prepared with an effective date of July 29, 2014 and should be read in conjunction with D+H's MD&A in the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2013, dated February 25, 2014, and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. External economic and industry factors remain substantially unchanged from those described in the annual MD&A and the Corporation's most recently filed Annual Information Form, except as described herein.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
The information presented within this MD&A include certain financial measures such as "Adjusted revenues", "EBITDA", "EBITDA margin" (EBITDA divided by revenues), "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA margin" (Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted revenues), "Adjusted net income", and "Adjusted net income per share", all of which are not defined terms under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
These non-IFRS financial measures should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Statements of Income, prepared in accordance with IFRS. See the reconciliations of "Adjusted revenues", "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted net income" to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, "revenues" and "net income", in the 'Operating Results' section of this MD&A.
Management believes these supplementary financial measures provide useful additional information related to the operating results of the Corporation. Management uses these measures to assess financial performance and as a supplement to the Consolidated Statements of Income. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to using net income as a measure of profitability or as an alternative to the IFRS Consolidated Statements of Income or other IFRS statements.
Further, these measures do not have any standardized meaning and D+H's method of calculating each measure may not be comparable to calculations used by other companies bearing the same description.
Adjusted Revenues
The Company uses Adjusted revenues as a measure of performance which eliminates the impact of applying acquisition accounting on the acquisition of HFS. Adjusted revenues is also used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.
Upon acquisition, the acquired deferred revenue balances were adjusted to reflect the fair value based on estimated costs of future delivery of the related services. These fair value adjustments to deferred revenues, recorded as of the acquisition date in accordance with the business combination accounting standard, will reduce revenues recognized post-acquisition under IFRS. Adjusted revenues exclude these acquisition accounting effects.
Management expects to use Adjusted revenues as a measure to the extent that the amortization impacts of the fair value adjustment to the acquired deferred revenues at the time of the HFS acquisition are significant to the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Management believes that this non-IFRS measure provides investors with useful information regarding the underlying performance of the business operations and facilitates meaningful comparisons of pre-acquisition operations to post-acquisition revenues. Without considering these non-IFRS adjustments, acquisition accounting adjustments made in accordance with IFRS may deem it difficult to make meaningful comparisons of the underlying operations of the business between periods.
EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash finance charges and fair value adjustments of interest-rate swaps which are directly related to interest expense, income from investment in an associate and gain on re-measurement of previously held equity interest in the Compushare investment. EBITDA is also described as income from operating activities before depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
In addition to its use by management as an internal measure of financial performance, EBITDA (with certain adjustments) is used to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under the Company's Credit Facility (as defined in the 'Hedges' section) and bonds. EBITDA is also used by D+H as a factor in assessing the performance and the value of a business. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and the reader should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is also used by D+H in assessing the performance of its businesses.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes: (i) acquisition-related expenses such as transaction costs, business integration costs and certain retention and incentive costs incurred in connection with acquisitions; (ii) other charges such as corporate development costs related to strategic acquisition initiatives; and (iii) costs incurred in connection with cost-realignment initiatives, all of which are not considered to be part of the normal course of operations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2013, the Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA also excluded effects of acquisition accounting on the fair value of deferred revenues and deferred costs acquired from the acquisition of HFS.
These items are excluded in calculating Adjusted EBITDA as they are not considered indicative of the underlying business performance for the period being reviewed and management believes that excluding these adjustments is more reflective of ongoing operating results.
As described above, upon acquisition of HFS, the acquired deferred revenue balances were adjusted to reflect the fair value based on estimated costs of future delivery of the related services. Similarly, deferred costs, which include sales commissions and implementation costs, were adjusted to reflect their fair values of these items at the acquisition date. These fair value adjustments to deferred revenue and deferred costs recorded as of the acquisition date will reduce revenues and expenses recognized post-acquisition under IFRS primarily over the next two years following the acquisition, after which the impact to the consolidated results would not be significant. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of these adjustments from the results in the periods reported.
Similar to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA also has limitations as an analytical tool, and the reader should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under IFRS.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, Basic
Adjusted net income is used as a measure of internal performance similar to net income, but is calculated by adjusting for the impacts of certain non-cash items and certain items of note on an after-tax basis. These adjustments include the after-tax impacts of: the effects of acquisition accounting on fair value of deferred revenue and deferred costs acquired from HFS; acquisition-related and other charges; gains and losses on sales resulting from sale of non-strategic assets; expenses associated with cost-realignment initiatives; discontinued operations; all of which are not considered to be part of normal course of operations; and, certain non-cash items such as amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, gain on re-measurement of the previously held equity interest in Compushare, non-cash finance charges such as deferred financing fees associated with D+H's previous credit facility written off upon the refinancing in connection with the acquisition of HFS, amortization of other deferred financing charges, accretion of the Debentures (as defined in the 'Convertible Debentures' section), fair value adjustments of interest-rate swaps and tax effects of these items. These items are excluded in calculating Adjusted net income as they are not considered indicative of the financial performance of the Company for the periods being reviewed.
Basic Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
ADDITIONAL IFRS MEASURES
Income from Operating Activities
D+H provides as part of its Consolidated Statements of Income an additional IFRS measure for "Income from Operating Activities". Management believes that this measure provides relevant information to understand the Corporation's financial performance. This additional IFRS measure is representative of activities that would normally be regarded as "operating" for the Company.
STRATEGY
D+H's goal is to be a leading financial technology ("FinTech") provider to the financial services marketplace. FinTech companies develop and deliver technology and technology-enabled products and services to banks, credit unions and other leading financial services customers who use these solutions to drive growth, improve customer convenience, streamline operations and efficiencies, reduce infrastructure costs and enhance compliance requirements.
D+H's strategy is to establish market-leading positions within well-defined and growing service areas in the financial services marketplace, and to reinforce these positions with integrated technology solutions that deliver increasing value to our customers and shareholders. We expect to advance this strategy through organic initiatives and selective acquisitions. By growing revenue while maintaining efficient operations, D+H intends to achieve its long-term financial objective of growing earnings.
In 2013, D+H significantly advanced its FinTech goal and strategy by acquiring HFS. This acquisition substantially increased D+H's combined customer count and added a suite of market-leading FinTech products to its current offering. Management believes the addition of HFS provides D+H with revenue synergies in the U.S. banking and credit union marketplace and will improve the Company's value proposition as a single-source FinTech provider.
In January 2014, the Company began operating under its single, signature D+H brand in North America and globally, following the retirement of our legacy HFS, Mortgagebot and Compushare brands. All of our leading technology products and solutions now include the D+H brand in addition to their existing product names. We believe rebranding is a strategic enabler that will allow us to unlock synergies and create tangible benefits for our businesses and clients.
Going forward, management will remain focused on executing its growth strategy with emphasis on: (i) developing an integrated operating model in the United States that will support efficient and effective growth; (ii) cross-selling D+H's suite of FinTech solutions including its SaaS products, cloud-based infrastructure technology, lending and lending compliance and core bank technology primarily within the U.S. marketplace to existing bank and credit union customers as well as approximately 7,000 other U.S. community banks and credit unions that could benefit from these offerings; (iii) enhancing services, capabilities and cost effectiveness across all service lines in Canada and the U.S. as a means of enhancing customer value, expanding margins, and creating additional free cash flow; (iv) building new subscription-based offerings in its payments solutions service area where it won a number of Canadian financial institution mandates in recent years; (v) extending the integrated D+H brand into the U.S. market; and (vi) expanding its offering through strategic partnerships.
In carrying out its cross-selling strategy, D+H will work to achieve synergies in a number of areas including integrating sales activities to better serve customers, and focusing on creating tighter linkages between our technologies to enhance customer satisfaction as D+H grows.
The Company is committed to reducing leverage while continuing to support its current dividend payments. Without taking into account any future acquisitions or strategic investment initiatives, the Company expects to reduce its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA ratio, as defined in the 'Long-term indebtedness' section, to below 2.5 in 2015, on a foreign exchange normalized basis, from 3.05 on the date of acquisition of HFS. At June 30, 2014, debt repayments had reduced this ratio to 2.79. After removing the impacts of foreign exchange fluctuations, this ratio was 2.75.
For a detailed discussion of the operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and management's outlook, please see below.
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRESENTATION
The Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, specifically IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
Results from continuing operations include the performance of acquired businesses from the respective dates of acquisition and exclude results from operations classified as discontinued operations for all comparative periods presented.
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company modified its basis of reporting such that the results from our technology products and services supporting leasing, commercial lending and small business lending, which have been experiencing growth in the U.S., are reported as part of the U.S. Segment. Prior to January 1, 2014, the results from these operations were reported as part of the Canadian Segment. This revised view allows management to better evaluate its cross-selling strategies in the U.S. that were implemented after the HFS acquisition and is consistent with how this part of our business is managed and reviewed by the Company's senior management.
Comparative periods have been conformed to the current period classification, where applicable.
All amounts are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise specified.
OPERATING RESULTS - SECOND QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 2014
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and includes non-IFRS financial measures. Management believes these supplementary disclosures provide useful additional information. See 'Non-IFRS Financial Measures' and 'Additional IFRS Measures' sections for a description of non-IFRS and additional IFRS measures used.
Consolidated Operating Results - Overview
D+H delivered solid operating performance in the second quarter and first six months of 2014 that was consistent with its strategic agenda of becoming a leading FinTech provider to the financial services marketplace. Year-over-year growth in revenues, Adjusted revenues and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to the U.S. Segment and reflected the inclusion of HFS. Consolidated EBITDA was higher for the second quarter of 2014 and was inclusive of $1.8 million of acquisition-related expenses and acquisition accounting adjustments of $3.4 million related to the fair value of deferred revenues and deferred costs acquired from the acquisition of HFS. Consolidated net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 was higher compared to the same periods in 2013 primarily due to EBITDA growth, partially offset by the impacts of higher interest and amortization expense as a result of the HFS acquisition. Consolidated Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, which exclude non-cash and non-normal course items, were also higher than the same periods in 2013 primarily as a result of the HFS acquisition.

Revenues and Adjusted Revenues - Consolidated
Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $286.0 million, a year-over-year increase of $88.8 million, or 45.1%. For the first six months of 2014, consolidated revenues of $552.2 million, increased by $183.5 million, or 49.7%, compared to the same period in 2013. After eliminating the impacts of foreign exchange volatility, revenues increased by 40.1% and 44.4% in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively. Revenues in 2014 were impacted by the fair value adjustment to deferred revenues acquired from HFS.
Consolidated Adjusted revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $292.2 million, an increase of $95.0 million, or 48.2%, compared to the same period in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, consolidated Adjusted revenues of $567.9 million, increased by $199.1 million, or 54.0%, compared to the same period in 2013. After eliminating the impacts of foreign exchange volatility, Adjusted revenues increased by 42.9% in the second quarter of 2014, and by 48.3% for the first six months of 2014 (see U.S. Segment discussion below for further details). These increases were primarily due to the inclusion of HFS, and to a lesser extent, organic growth mainly in recovery services and subscription fee-based enhancement services offerings.
Revenues - Canadian Segment
Total revenues in the Canadian Segment for the second quarter of 2014 were $168.8 million, $1.1 million, or 0.6%, lower than a year ago reflecting the factors noted below. For the first six months in 2014, Canadian Segment revenues were $318.9 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 0.1%, compared to the same period in 2013. Adjusted revenues are the same as revenues for the Canadian Segment as this segment was not subject to acquisition accounting adjustments.
Payments Solutions
Payments solutions include: (i) the cheque supply program which serves the personal and small business account holders of our financial services customers; and (ii) various subscription fee-based enhancement services and other service offerings directed towards chequing and credit card programs.
As a result of growth in alternative payments, the number of cheques written has declined and is expected to continue to decline. Management believes that the downward trend in cheque order volumes is in the mid-single digits annually. In recent years, there has been more volatility in personal cheque order volumes, while the decline in business cheque order volumes continues to be in the low single digits with comparatively less volatility. Management expects that these trends will continue through 2014. D+H continues to develop service enhancements to offset this impact and to generate future growth within this category. Revenues in this area are not significantly impacted by seasonality.
Revenues from payments solutions for the second quarter of 2014 were $76.2 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 3.0%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the first six months in 2014, revenues were $150.9 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 0.9%, compared to the same period in 2013. Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were lower than a year ago as a result of having one less business day of sales available in our chequing service area and also due to timing of revenues earned in our enhancement services offerings. Revenues from payments solutions for the three and six-month periods were also impacted by volume declines in cheque orders, partially offset by higher average order values due to product and service enhancements in the chequing and credit card programs and higher volumes in subscription fee-based enhancement services offerings.
Lending Processing Solutions
Lending processing solutions consist of two distinct sets of customer solutions: loan registration and recovery and student loan administration services.
Loan registration and recovery services, which account for approximately 60% to 70% of the revenues within this category, support the personal and commercial lending activities of our customers with the registration and management of data related to secured lending for both personal and real property loans as well as recovery services related to both secured and unsecured lending. Loans relating to vehicle purchases, new and resale, are a significant driver of activity and are variable. In general, registration services are affected by both economic cyclicality and seasonality, while recovery services are, in general, counter-cyclical.
In our student loans administration services area, which accounts for approximately 30% to 40% of revenues within the lending processing solutions category, we manage a $21 billion student loan portfolio servicing 1.7 million students on behalf of the Canadian federal and provincial governments and lenders. Services include student enrollment, management of funds disbursement, loan tracking, student support services, reporting and collections. Revenues from this program are primarily earned based upon the number of student loans serviced while enrolled in school and the number of loans serviced while students are in the repayment cycle. D+H also earns revenue from professional services work connected to program enhancements requested by the lenders. Revenues in this area are not significantly impacted by seasonality.
D+H and the Government of Canada are parties to a contract pursuant to which D+H provides financial and related services in support of the Canada Student Loans and Grants Program ("CSLP") as well as the student loan and grant programs of certain Canadian provinces. The contract with the Government of Canada will expire on March 31, 2016 after which the Government of Canada has the right to renew for one-year terms up to a maximum of two such terms. In line with government procurement policy, the Government of Canada has initiated consultations with the industry regarding the requirements for administering the CSLP after the expiry of the existing contract and we expect a request for proposals will be issued in the summer of 2014. D+H intends to aggressively defend its incumbency and believes the quality of our delivery thus far will help us remain competitive in the bid process.
Lending processing solutions revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $76.9 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 1.0%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, revenues were $143.2 million, a year-over-year increase of $1.9 million, or 1.4%. The increases in both periods were mainly due to higher transaction volumes in recovery services and, to a lesser extent, higher volumes in the student loans program and higher average order values in registration services. The rate of year-over-year growth was muted by a reduction in project-related and professional services revenues in the student loan program compared to 2013.
Banking Technology Solutions - Lending
In the Canadian Segment, banking technology solutions, reported within the lending category, are directed towards mortgage markets in Canada. Revenues within this category are attributable to transaction-based fees earned in connection with Canadian mortgage originations. These fees can be variable and are impacted by many factors including the economy, the housing market, interest rates and changes in government regulations among others. Revenues in this area are subject to some seasonality as the second and third quarters have historically experienced a higher level of origination activity, consistent with the overall housing market in Canada. As described earlier, revenues pertaining to our technology products and services supporting leasing, commercial lending and small business lending are now reported as part of the U.S. Segment.
Canadian banking technology solutions revenues in the second quarter of 2014 were $15.6 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 3.3%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. Revenues for the first six months of 2014 were $24.7 million, a year-over-year decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.9%. Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 benefited from higher professional services fees earned in connection with our mortgage origination business and from strong housing market activity. The impact of price modifications from previous periods was fully accounted for in the second quarter of 2014, however revenues in the first six months of 2014 reflected lower mortgage origination fees resulting from these price modifications.
Revenues and Adjusted Revenues - U.S. Segment
Revenues from U.S. banking technology solutions are classified into lending solutions and enterprise solutions categories, as further described below. With the acquisition of HFS, we expect higher levels of seasonality in revenues from our U.S. banking technology service area, as revenues have historically been stronger in the second and fourth quarters, with the latter being the busiest period.
Total revenues in the U.S. Segment for the second quarter of 2014 increased by $89.9 million year-over-year, or 329.4%, of $117.2 million. For the first six months in 2014, total revenues were $233.4 million, an increase of $183.1 million, or 363.9%, compared to the same period in 2013. Second quarter Adjusted revenues for the U.S. Segment of $123.4 million were $96.1 million, or 352.1%, ahead of the same period in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, Adjusted revenues of $249.1 million, were $198.7 million, or 395.0%, ahead of the previous year. The sharp increases in revenues and Adjusted revenues were primarily due to the inclusion of HFS.
A strong U.S. dollar in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 benefited revenues and Adjusted revenues in the U.S. Segment by $9.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively. After eliminating these foreign exchange impacts, revenues and Adjusted revenues increased by 293.3% and 313.5%, respectively. For the first six months of 2014, the strong U.S. dollar benefited revenues and Adjusted revenues by $19.7 million and $21.2 million, respectively. After eliminating foreign exchange impacts, revenues increased by 324.8% and Adjusted revenues by 353.0% for the first six months. These foreign exchange impacts were calculated as the difference between the current period's actual results and the current period's results in local currency converted at the foreign exchange rates in effect during the same period of the prior year.
Lending Solutions
Lending solutions primarily consist of loan origination and mortgage compliance offerings for a wide variety of loan types, including consumer, mortgage and commercial loans, and also market offerings related to commercial lending risk management, underwriting and portfolio management solutions. Within the U.S. lending solutions revenue categories, approximately 50% to 60% comes from recurring subscription fees which generally are market resilient; 15% to 25% comes from sales of software and associated professional services, which can be variable due to timing; 15% to 25% are attributable to post-contract maintenance services, and less than 5% to transaction based revenues which are sensitive to changes in market conditions. Effective January 1, 2014, also included in this category are the technology products and services supporting leasing, commercial lending and small business lending, which were previously reported as part of the Canadian Segment.
U.S. lending solutions revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $61.7 million, an increase of $39.4 million, or 176.0%, compared to $22.4 million for the same period in 2013. For the first six-month period, revenues were $122.2 million, an increase of $80.3 million, or 191.7%, compared to the same period in 2013. Revenues in 2014 primarily benefited from the inclusion of HFS and were impacted by acquisition-accounting adjustments related to fair value of deferred revenue acquired through the acquisition of HFS. Adjusted revenues of $67.3 million, which removed these acquisition accounting impacts, increased by $44.9 million compared to the same quarter in 2013 due to the inclusion of HFS. For the first six months of 2014, Adjusted revenues were $136.0 million, a year-over-year increase of $94.1 million.
Enterprise Solutions
Enterprise solutions primarily consist of revenues from core processing systems including content management, financial accounting and payments solutions, a number of innovative channel solutions related to self-service, business intelligence and branch automation solutions and cloud-based infrastructure technology solutions offerings.
U.S. enterprise solutions revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $55.4 million, an increase of $50.5 million, compared to the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenues were $111.2 million, an increase of $102.8 million, compared to the same period in 2013. Revenues recorded under IFRS for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 benefited from the acquisition of HFS.
Adjusted revenues, which are calculated after removing the impacts of purchase accounting adjustments related to fair value of deferred revenues, were $56.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $51.2 million. For the first six months of 2014, Adjusted revenues were $113.0 million, an increase of $104.6 million. Adjusted revenues were higher than last year due to the inclusion of HFS.

Expenses - Consolidated
Consolidated expenses of $198.2 million for the second quarter of 2014 increased by $53.6 million, or 37.1%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, consolidated expenses were $395.4 million, an increase of $121.2 million, or 44.2%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to the inclusion of HFS expenses. Consolidated expenses also included acquisition-related and other charges of $1.8 million and $5.3 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, which are not considered reflective of normal course operations and are disclosed as part of Corporate. Acquisition-related and other charges of $5.8 million and $6.8 million were recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively.
Expenses - Canadian Segment
Total Canadian Segment expenses for the second quarter of $120.0 million, decreased by $2.8 million, or 2.3%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. Expenses for the first six months of 2014 were $236.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 0.6%. The decreases in total expenses were mainly driven by higher management fees, discussed below.
Employee compensation and benefits costs of $38.5 million for the second quarter of 2014 for the Canadian Segment were lower by $0.4 million, or 1.1%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, these costs increased year-over-year by $2.0 million, or 2.5%, to $81.3 million. The decrease in expenses for the second quarter was as a result of decreased share based compensation reflecting a revaluation of the related liability. This decrease was partially offset by inflationary salary increases. The increase in expenses for the first six-month period of 2014 was due to higher severance payments in the normal course of operations and an increase in share-based compensation expense reflecting a higher stock price. Increases in 2014 were offset by benefits realized from cost savings initiatives implemented in prior periods.
Non-compensation direct expenses for the Canadian Segment were $67.4 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $1.9 million, or 2.8%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the six-month period in 2014, non-compensation direct expenses of $126.6 million, increased by $3.6 million, or 2.9%, compared to the same period in 2013. In general, these expenses directionally change with revenue changes. This increase in non-compensation direct expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 reflected higher volumes in our subscription fee-based enhancement services offerings within our payments solutions service area and an increase in direct costs associated with lending processing solutions, consistent with the increase in revenues. The increase noted in the second quarter of 2014 was partially offset by reduced costs as a result of lower cheque volume within our payments solutions business.
Other operating expenses of $14.1 million for the second quarter of 2014 decreased by $4.2 million, or 23.0%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, other operating expenses of $28.3 million were lower by $7.1 million, or 20.1%, compared to the same period in 2013. In both periods, the decrease was due to a higher management fee charged by the Canadian Segment to the U.S. Segment since the acquisition of HFS, lower consulting costs and by benefits realized from cost savings initiatives implemented in prior periods.
The management fee charged to the U.S. Segment was $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2014 and $6.0 million for the first six months of 2014, compared to $1.0 and $2.0 million charged for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. Total management fees are expected to be $12.0 million for 2014, compared to $6.9 million for 2013 reflecting the increased size of U.S. operations.
Expenses - U.S. Segment
Total expenses for the U.S. Segment for the second quarter of 2014 were $76.4 million, an increase of $60.4 million, or 375.9%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, total expenses for the U.S. Segment were $154.0 million, an increase of $124.2 million, or 416.9%, compared to the same period last year. The increase in total expenses for the 2014 periods was primarily attributable to the inclusion of HFS.
Employee compensation and benefits costs of $48.7 million in the second quarter increased by $38.0 million compared to the same period in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, costs of $97.0 million, increased by $77.4 million, compared to the same periods in 2013. Non-compensation direct expenses for the U.S. Segment of $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 were higher by $8.0 million compared to the same period in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, costs of $17.6 million, increased by $16.4 million, compared to the same period in 2013. Other operating expenses of $19.1 million for the second quarter of 2014 were higher by $14.4 million, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, other operating expenses of $39.5 million, increased by $30.4 million, compared to the same period in 2013.
As noted above, these increases were primarily attributable to the inclusion of HFS. Employee compensation and benefits expenses and other operating expenses also benefited by cost synergies realized between our other SaaS businesses and HFS. Other operating expenses also included a management fee, as further described above, for corporate-related services, charged to the U.S. Segment by the Canadian Segment.
Expenses - Corporate

See Adjusted EBITDA for the U.S. Segment for further discussion of the U.S. Segment results.
ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2014 was $93.0 million, an increase of $34.6 million, or 59.4%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $171.7 million, increased by $70.4 million, or 69.4%, compared to the same period in 2013. After eliminating the impacts of foreign exchange volatility, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased by 53.2% in the first quarter of 2014, and by 62.2% in the first six months of 2014. These increases in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to the inclusion of HFS.
Second quarter 2014 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was calculated by removing: (i) $3.4 million of acquisition accounting adjustments to fair value of deferred revenues and deferred costs associated with the acquisition of HFS; and (ii) acquisition-related and other charges of $1.8 million, consisting of business integration costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of HFS and retention and incentive costs.
On a consolidated basis, Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter and the first six months of 2014 was 31.8% and 30.2% respectively, compared to 29.6% and 27.5% for the same periods in 2013. Margins in 2014 were higher mainly due to the inclusion of HFS in the U.S. Segment. Although HFS has lower margins than our other U.S. Segment offerings, it has a higher margin than the Canadian Segment.
Canadian Segment
Adjusted EBITDA is the same as EBITDA in the Canadian Segment. Canadian Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 was $48.8 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 3.6%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2014 was $82.7 million, a year-over-year increase of $1.9 million, or 2.3%. Adjusted EBITDA in both periods was higher primarily due to increased revenues in lending processing solutions and a higher management fee charged by the Canadian Segment. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 also benefited from higher mortgage origination revenues.
Canadian Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter and the six-month period of 2014 was 28.9% and 25.9% respectively, compared to 27.7% and 25.4% for the same periods in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA margin was higher primarily due to the higher management fee charged to the U.S. Segment, lower consulting fees and benefits realized from cost savings initiatives implemented in prior periods.
U.S. Segment
Adjusted EBITDA for the U.S. Segment during the second quarter of 2014 was $44.2 million, an increase of $32.9 million, or 293.2%, compared to the same quarter in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, U.S. Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $89.0 million, increased by $68.5 million, or 333.9%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in U.S. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was mainly due to the inclusion of HFS, and to a lesser extent, cost synergies realized between our other SaaS businesses and HFS. A strong U.S. dollar in the second quarter and the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 benefited Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. Segment by $3.6 million and $7.3 million respectively. After eliminating these foreign exchange impacts, Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter and the first-half of 2014 increased by 261.0% and 298.2%, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. Segment for the second quarter of 2014 excluded the impacts of $3.4 million attributable to acquisition accounting adjustments related to fair value of deferred revenues and deferred costs on D+H's acquisition of HFS, in accordance with IFRS. These adjustments consisted of $6.2 million of fair value adjustments related to deferred revenues and $2.8 million related to deferred costs.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the U.S. Segment for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 was 35.8% and 35.7%, compared to 41.2% and 40.8% for the same periods in 2013. The change in both periods reflects the fact that HFS margins are lower than those earned by our SaaS offerings which comprised the majority of our U.S. Segment in the comparative periods of 2013.
DEPRECIATION OF CAPITAL ASSETS AND AMORTIZATION OF NON-ACQUISITION INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Consolidated depreciation of capital assets and amortization of non-acquisition intangible assets of $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 increased by $3.9 million, or 59.2%, compared to the same period in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, depreciation and amortization was $20.1 million, an increase of $6.9 million, or 52.2%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in depreciation and amortization in 2014 was mainly due to the inclusion of HFS.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS FROM ACQUISITIONS
Consolidated amortization of acquisition intangible assets for the second quarter of 2014 was $28.3 million, an increase of $17.3 million, compared to the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, amortization was $56.9 million, an increase of $34.9 million, or 159.0%, compared to the same period in 2013. These increases were mainly attributable to the amortization of intangibles resulting from the acquisition of HFS.
GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS
During the second quarter of 2014, D+H sold certain non-strategic assets and recognized a gain of $1.0 million.
INCOME FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Consolidated income from operating activities was $48.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $14.0 million, or 40.2%, compared to $34.9 million for the same quarter in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, income from operating activities was $79.8 million, an increase of $20.4 million, or 34.4%, compared to $59.4 million for the same period in 2013. These increases reflected growth in EBITDA as described above. Income from operating activities was impacted by higher depreciation of capital assets and amortization of intangible assets, primarily driven by the inclusion of HFS.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense of $15.0 million for the second quarter of 2014 increased by $10.5 million compared to the same quarter in 2013. This reflected incremental debt financing through the Credit Facility bearing a higher credit spread and bonds and Debentures issued to partially fund the HFS acquisition in August 2013. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2014 also included a non-cash interest charge of $1.4 million consisting of accretion expense of $0.9 million related to the Debentures and $0.5 million related to amortization of deferred financing charges incurred in connection with the Company's financing arrangements. For the first six-month period in 2014, interest expense of $30.3 million increased by $21.3 million compared to the same period in 2013 for the same reasons described above.
FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
An unrealized gain of $0.3 million related to fair value changes on derivative instruments was recognized in the second quarter of 2014, compared to an unrealized gain of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, the unrealized gain was $0.5 million, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2013. These changes are related to our interest-rate swaps that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
For the interest-rate swaps that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, these unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In general, a loss on interest-rate swaps is recorded when interest rates decrease as compared to certain previous periods and a gain is recorded when interest rates increase. Provided the Company does not cancel its interest-rate swaps, the unrealized amounts represent a non-cash unrealized gain or loss that will subsequently reverse through the Consolidated Statements of Income as the related swaps mature. D+H has historically held its derivative contracts to maturity. The Company is a fixed-rate payer on all of its interest-rate swaps.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
An income tax expense of $5.2 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 compared to an income tax expense of $9.2 million recognized for the same period in 2013. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2014 was $8.3 million compared to $14.6 million for the same period in 2013. The income tax expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2014 was lower as a result of the geographic mix of income from continuing operations as well as the increased amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions.
INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $29.9 million, up $7.5 million, or 33.4%, from $22.4 million in the same period in 2013. Income from continuing operations reflected higher EBITDA of $35.2 million resulting from the acquisition of HFS, partially offset by higher amortization expense of $17.3 million relating to acquisition intangible assets and higher interest expense of $10.5 million on debt drawn to fund the HFS acquisition. Income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2014 increased 10.0% to $42.7 million from $38.8 million for the same period in 2013. Income from continuing operations for the first six months in 2014 was higher for the same reasons noted above.
NET INCOME
Consolidated net income of $29.9 million for the second quarter of 2014 was higher by $16.3 million, compared to consolidated net income of $13.6 million for the same quarter in 2013. Net income in the second quarter of 2014 benefited from an increase in EBITDA of $35.2 million resulting from the acquisition of HFS, partially offset by higher amortization expense of $17.3 million relating to acquisition intangible assets, and higher interest expense of $10.5 million on debt drawn to fund the HFS acquisition. Net income for the same period in 2013 was impacted by a loss from discontinued operations of $8.8 million.
For the first six-month period in 2014, consolidated net income of $41.9 million was higher by $22.5 million, or 116.5%, compared to $19.4 million for the same period in 2013. Net income for the first six months in 2014 was higher for the same reasons noted above.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share, basic
Consolidated basic net income per share in the second quarter of 2014 increased to $0.3697 from $0.2298 for the same quarter in 2013, on account of acquisition accretion even though additional common shares were issued in August 2013 in connection with the acquisition of HFS. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, basic net income per share of $0.5186 was also higher compared to $0.3267 per share for the same period in 2013, mainly due to the HFS acquisition.
Net income per share, diluted
For the second quarter of 2014, the inclusion of additional potential shares related to stock options had a dilutive effect on net income while additional potential shares related to the Debentures had an anti-dilutive effect on net income. Net income per share for the second quarter of 2014, on a diluted basis, was $0.3687 per share, compared to net income per share of $0.2298 for the same period in 2013. For the six-month period, net income per share on a diluted basis was $0.5173, compared to $0.3267 for the same period in 2013. Per share amounts, on a diluted basis, were also impacted by the additional common shares issued in August 2013 to fund the HFS acquisition.
ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED NET INCOME PER SHARE
Consolidated Adjusted net income of $51.5 million ($0.6369 per share) for the second quarter of 2014 was higher by $17.3 million, or 50.4%, compared to the $34.2 million ($0.5774 per share) for the same period in 2013. Consolidated Adjusted net income for the first six months of 2014 was $90.3 million ($1.1177 per share), an increase of $33.0 million, or 57.5%, compared to $57.3 million ($0.9675 per share) for the same period in 2013. These increases were mainly due to a higher Adjusted EBITDA resulting from the inclusion of HFS results, partially impacted by higher depreciation of capital assets, amortization of non-acquisition intangible assets and higher cash interest expense on debt drawn to fund the HFS acquisition. Adjusted net income per share in 2014 was also impacted by the additional shares issued in August 2013 to fund the acquisition of HFS.

As at June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totalled $14.2 million, compared to $32.4 million at December 31, 2013.
Operating Activities
Operating activities provided $38.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $41.1 million for the same period in 2013. Net cash from operating activities was lower year-over-year mainly due to income tax installment payments that commenced beginning 2014, increased interest payments reflecting the HFS acquisition and changes in non-cash working capital and other items, further described below. Lower net cash from operating activities in the second quarter of 2014 was partially offset by higher EBITDA. For the first six months of 2014, operating activities provided $65.0 million, compared to $59.7 million for the same period in 2013. Net cash from operating activities for the first six months was also reflective of the factors noted in the three month change, however net cash from operating activities for the first six months of 2014 was primarily higher due to a lesser impact from non-cash working capital and other items.

Change in non-cash working capital in the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to increased accounts receivables, reflecting accruals related to certain incentive payments in our student lending business and timing of receipts in HFS. The net increase was also due to increased prepayments. The change for the first six months of 2014 also reflected an increase in current deferred revenues relating to HFS, which was partially offset by a decrease in accrued and other liabilities, mainly reflecting short term deferred compensation payments.
Change in other operating assets and liabilities for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 was primarily attributable to increased non-current accounts receivable reflecting growth in our HFS business.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $29.0 million during the second quarter of 2014, compared to $39.4 million for the same period in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, net cash used in financing activities was $59.8 million, compared to $32.3 million for the same period in 2013. Net cash used in 2014 was primarily due to debt repayments and dividend payments. D+H made net debt repayments of $5.0 million and $10.0 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, compared to repayments of $20.5 million and $21.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. Net drawdown for the first six months of 2013 included $27.1 million drawn to fund the Compushare acquisition.
Dividends
During the second quarter of 2014, D+H paid a dividend of $0.32 per share ($25.9 million) to its shareholders of record as of May 30, 2014. For the same quarter in 2013, $0.32 per share ($19.0 million) was paid to shareholders. For the first six months of 2014, D+H paid dividends of $0.64 per share ($51.7 million), compared to dividends of $0.64 per share ($37.9 million) for the same period in 2013. The increase in total dividends paid during the second quarter of 2014 is due to the additional common shares issued to partially fund the acquisition of HFS in August 2013.
Investing Activities
Net cash of $12.1 million and $23.5 million was used in investing activities during the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, reflecting capital expenditures. Net cash for the second quarter of 2014 also reflected proceeds from sale of certain non-strategic assets, described previously.
Net cash of $1.4 million was provided by investing activities in the second quarter of 2013 which primarily reflected capital expenditures and proceeds from the sale of non-strategic business processing operations. Net cash used in the first six months of 2013 of $29.3 million also reflected the acquisition of the remaining ownership in Compushare.

| 3 | Acquisition-related and other charges for the second quarter of 2014 consisted of business integration costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of HFS and certain retention and incentive costs in connection with the recent acquisitions. Acquisition-related and other charges for the other periods included certain retention and incentive costs related to the acquisitions, expenses related to cost-realignment initiatives and corporate development expenses related to strategic acquisition initiatives. |
| 4 | Upon acquisition of HFS, the current Credit Facility replaced a previous credit facility entered into in 2011, resulting in a write-off of the unamortized deferred debt issuance costs related to the previous credit facility. |
| 5 | Upon acquisition of the remaining interest in Compushare in January 2013, a non-cash gain related to re-measurement of the previously held equity interest was recognized in accordance with IFRS standards. |
| 6 | Gain in the third quarter of 2013 was mainly attributable to the fair value changes of the foreign exchange forward contracts entered into by D+H to economically hedge the foreign exchange risk arising from the proceeds denominated in U.S. dollar to fund the acquisition of HFS. Gains and losses in the other periods included mark-to-market adjustments of interest-rate swaps that are not designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes, and for which any change in the fair value of these contracts is recorded through the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
| 7 | Income/(loss) relates to D+H's divesture of its non-strategic business processing operations on May 10, 2013. |
| 8 | Non-cash interest charges relate to accretion of Debentures issued to partially fund the acquisition of HFS and amortization of deferred financing charges incurred in connection with the Company's financing arrangements. |
| 9 | Gain realized in the second quarter of 2014 upon the sale of certain non-strategic assets. |
| 10 | The adjustments to net income are tax effected at their respective tax rates. |
| 11 | Adjustments for the third quarters of 2013 and 2012 included a non-cash tax recovery related to liabilities recognized in connection with the acquisition of Mortgagebot. Adjustment for the third quarter of 2013 also includes a one-time income tax expense arising from the revaluation of the Company's deferred taxes to reflect the change in future U.S. income tax rates resulting from the acquisition of HFS. |
| 12 | Diluted per share reflects the impacts of outstanding stock options. If the average market price during the period is below the option price plus the fair market value of the option, then the options are not included in the dilution calculation for income from operating activities per share. Weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis during the second quarter of 2014 was 81,013,068 shares. |
| 13 | Weighted average number of shares outstanding during the second quarter of 2014 was 80,790,585 shares. |
D+H has generally reported quarterly revenues that are relatively stable and growing when measured on a year-over-year basis. More recently, acquisitions and changes in the economic environment, specifically the housing and mortgage markets and the auto lending markets, have increased volatility. As well, there has been increased volatility in personal cheque order volumes. Measured on a sequential quarter-to-quarter basis, revenues can vary due to seasonality. Revenue for certain service offerings can also vary based on the timing of work performed. Fees earned in connection with mortgage origination services and automobile loan registration services are typically stronger in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. The acquisition of HFS is also expected to impact seasonality of D+H's revenues as, historically, HFS has experienced stronger revenues in the second and fourth quarters.
Acquisitions in the prior periods increased revenues and expenses and EBITDA was impacted by acquisition-accounting adjustments related to fair value of deferred revenues and deferred costs, acquisition-related and other charges that were not part of the normal course of operations. Adjusted EBITDA removes the impacts of these items as these are not indicative of underlying business performance and management believes that excluding these items is more reflective of ongoing operating results.
Net income is variable as it has been affected by increased revenues and expenses from acquisitions and non-cash items such as acquisition accounting adjustments, fair value adjustments of derivative instruments, amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, gain on re-measurement of the equity-interest held in Compushare and other items such as acquisition-related and other charges, loss from discontinued operations, and changes in other non-cash interest and tax items.
Common Shares, Debentures and Stock Options
As at June 30, 2014 and July 29, 2014, D+H had:
- 80,839,510 common shares issued and outstanding (as at December 31, 2013 - 80,738,373). The increase in the number of shares during the first six months of 2014 is attributable to the exercise of stock options and the conversion of some Debentures by the Debenture-holders into common shares.
- $229.9 million principal amount of Debentures outstanding (as at December 31, 2013 - $230.0 million). These Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder to common shares at a conversion price of $28.90 per common share, representing 34.6021 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Debenture, for a total of 7,953,915 shares.
- 1,191,168 stock options outstanding (as at December 31, 2013 - 916,028). Each stock option is exercisable into one common share of the Corporation.
Hedges
The Company utilizes interest-rate swaps to hedge interest rate exposure and foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge foreign currency risk.
Interest-rate swaps
At June 30, 2014, the Company's outstanding interest rate swaps were as follows:
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, unaudited)
| Fair value of interest-rate swaps | ||||

| 1 | The listed interest rates offset BA rate/LIBOR and prime-rates currently in effect by way of fixed rate paying swaps. Spreads could increase or decrease depending on the Company's financial leverage compared to certain levels specified in the Credit Facility agreement. Based on the financial leverage as at June 30, 2014, the Company's long-term bank indebtedness will be subject to spreads of 2.25% on BA rate/LIBOR rate loans and 1.25% on prime rate loans. |
| 2 | Not-designated as hedges for the purposes of hedge accounting. Fair value changes on these swaps impact the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
| 3 | Designated as hedges for the purposes of hedge accounting. Fair value changes on these swaps impact other comprehensive income. |
As at June 30, 2014, the Company would have to pay $3.4 million if it were to close out all of its interest-rate swap contracts as set out in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. It is not management's present intention to close out these contracts and the Company has historically held its derivative contracts to maturity.
In respect of interest-rate swap contracts with its lenders, as of June 30, 2014, the Company's borrowing rates on 47.0% of outstanding long-term indebtedness under the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Facility") are effectively fixed at the interest rates and for the time periods ending as outlined above. As a result of these swaps, 77.8% of the Company's total indebtedness, including Debentures, is effectively fixed.
Foreign exchange contracts
For the Company's foreign exchange contracts, the Company is required to deliver the agreed U.S. dollar amount and in return receive the contracted Canadian dollar amount set forth in each contract. The Company has historically held its derivative contracts to maturity.
These foreign exchange contracts are designated as hedges of the Corporation's net investment in foreign operations for which the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, in accordance with IAS 39 with the change in fair value of the hedging instrument (foreign exchange forward contracts), to the extent it is effective, is recorded in other comprehensive income.
At June 30, 2014, the Company's foreign exchange forward contracts aggregating US$31.0 million was as follows:

Covenants
The Company's indebtedness is subject to a number of covenants and restrictions including the requirement to meet certain financial ratios and financial condition tests. One such ratio is the Total Funded Debt / EBITDA Ratio ("Debt to EBITDA ratio"), as defined in the Company's annual MD&A for the year-end December 31, 2013. As at June 30, 2014, this ratio was calculated at 2.79 (December 31, 2013 - 2.93).
Debt to EBITDA ratio - foreign exchange impact
The Debt to EBITDA ratio is impacted by volatility in foreign exchange fluctuations as the Company's U.S. dollar denominated borrowings are translated at the period-end exchange rate while EBITDA (as it pertains to this ratio), denominated in local currencies, is translated at average exchange rates for the period. The acquisition of HFS in the third quarter of 2013 significantly changed the Company's debt structure. Therefore, in order to assess management's capital management efforts post the HFS acquisition, as an internal measure, management eliminates the impact of foreign exchange from this ratio by calculating it using the applicable rates for the period ended September 30, 2013. As such, the Debt to EBITDA ratio, after removing the impacts of foreign exchange fluctuations, was 2.75 (December 31, 2013 - 2.87).
Convertible Debentures
As at June 30, 2014, the Company had $229.9 million principal amount of 6.00% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures ("Debentures") outstanding. During the second quarter of 2014, a total of 57 Debentures were converted into 1,972 common shares of the Corporation. For the first six months of 2014, a total of 132 Debentures were converted into 4,567 common shares of the Corporation.
Effective interest rate
As at June 30, 2014, the average effective interest rate on the Company's total indebtedness, including the Debentures, was 4.7%, compared to 4.8% at December 31, 2013.
OUTLOOK
D+H's long-term financial objective is to deliver sustainable and growing earnings through continued organic revenue growth, partnering with third parties and, over time, by way of strategic acquisitions. Management believes the acquisition of HFS will continue to: (i) strengthen our ability to deliver on our goal of being a leading FinTech provider to the financial services industry; (ii) provide enhanced revenue diversification; (iii) deliver strong and sustainable cash flows to fund future growth, dividends and deleveraging; and (iv) support our long-term strategy. Going forward, we will continue to execute our organic growth initiatives including cross-selling our suite of FinTech solutions and developing product innovations and functionalities that meet the needs of our customers, differentiate D+H and achieve our financial goals. Simultaneously across all operations, we will continue to diligently identify and realize on efficiency opportunities to better serve customers, improve our competitiveness and enhance margins. We believe that our market leadership and combined capabilities will solidly position D+H in the markets we serve and allow us to grow, consistent with our long-term objectives.
As set out in our statement of strategy, we look to grow through a combination of organic initiatives, partnering with third parties and, over time, by way of selective additional acquisitions. Our organic initiatives include: (i) cross-selling our expanded FinTech suite of lending and enterprise solutions including SaaS offerings, cloud-based offerings, lending compliance, core technology and channel products to our now larger customer base and approximately 7,000 other U.S. financial institutions that could benefit from our technology portfolio; (ii) advancing our payments solutions through growth in value-added consumer and business services to financial institution customers; (iii) expanding our current technology-enabled offerings within the mortgage, auto, personal, student lending, commercial and leasing markets; and (iv) exploring opportunities to provide our expanded solutions to customers in selected international markets and to Canada's credit unions.
We also look to add to our organic growth through partnerships with other leading providers. We have established a number of such partnerships in the U.S. and Canada over the years and we intend to capitalize on our expanded customer base to build on these mutually beneficial relationships as we move forward.
The acquisition strategy executed by D+H over the past number of years has advanced our FinTech leadership position within the North American market and has strengthened our operating model by diversifying revenue and reducing our risk profile by lowering our customer concentration and product dependency. Following past acquisitions, D+H has focused on reducing leverage used for acquisition purposes. Consistent with our approach, we intend to repay debt used to partially fund the HFS acquisition and expect to reduce our Debt to EBITDA ratio to below 2.5 in 2015, on a foreign exchange normalized basis, while supporting our current dividends.
With the inclusion of several new service areas arising from acquisitions made over the last several years, we expect to continue to experience some increase in variability in quarterly revenues, EBITDA, net income and cash flows, due to, among other items: (i) personal cheque order volume declines; (ii) dynamics in the Canadian and U.S. lending environments; (iii) volume variances within the mortgage origination and lien registration markets; (iv) timing and variability in sales activity, including professional services work, and cash receipts; and (v) fees and expenses associated with acquisitions and related integration activities.
Historically, for the legacy D+H businesses, the second and third quarters are typically stronger whereas HFS experiences stronger sales in the second and fourth quarters. The impact of these differences in seasonality between D+H's legacy businesses and HFS may result in continued volatility in year-over-year growth until the fourth quarter of 2014. As such, growth seen in the second quarter and first-half of 2014 may not reflect growth in future periods.
Canadian Segment
Within the Canadian Segment, the downward trend in cheque order volumes is expected to continue to be in the mid-single digits through 2014, with ongoing volatility in personal cheque order volumes coupled with comparatively less volatility in business cheque order volumes. In order to offset this decline, management will continue to focus on growing the various subscription fee-based enhancement services offerings.
In the Canadian banking technology service area, analysts are expecting the Canadian housing market to enter a moderating phase in the latter half of 2014. The broker market will continue to experience competition from internal mobile sales force at lending institutions. Revenue changes from pricing modifications in our Canadian banking technology solutions have stabilized and the introduction of new products and product extensions for various areas in the lending value chain has and is expected to continue to contribute to organic growth and align us with the transformation of the sales process used in Canadian Banking.
Volumes in the student loan administration service area are expected to be relatively stable and modestly growing in the short term. In light of the expected CSLP request for proposals by the Government of Canada, management's focus in this area will be to successfully obtain renewal of the contract. Within the auto and auto lending markets, modest growth in new and resold car sales is expected to continue through 2014, while increases in lender portfolio values and the strong auto recovery from the last few years should continue to drive strong repossession activity.
In addition, within our Canadian Segment, EBITDA and margins may be impacted from the timing of customer adoption of new products and services, which may cause pressure on overall Canadian Segment EBITDA and margins until these new offerings generate sufficient volume to deliver operational leverage.
U.S. Segment
In the U.S. Segment, we expect to benefit from the recovery of the U.S. economy and banking sector, increased need for lending technology products that can meet regulatory and compliance requirements and anticipated growth in spending by community banks and credit unions on core banking technology and additional FinTech solutions. Recovering housing market activity is also expected to be a positive driver for our businesses that serve the U.S. mortgage markets, partially offset by lower consumer refinancing activity on account of higher interest rates compared to a year ago. We also anticipate revenue synergies from cross selling our multiple product offerings into our existing client base. Additionally, community banks are expected to increase technology investment on new core systems over the next few years. There are currently over 13,000 financial institutions in the U.S., of which we currently serve about 6,000. Our technology suite allows us to offer products to large and small financial institutions alike and we are reaching into the available markets to gain a foothold among approximately 7,000 banks and credit unions who have not used D+H before. We believe we are well-positioned to capture our share of market expansion through our strategies.
Capital spend
For 2014, we anticipate total capital spending of approximately $50 million to $55 million, with a focus on new growth opportunities. Capital spending may vary based on spending in support of new growth opportunities if and as they arise.
