(NAPLES, FL — July 26, 2012) — ACI Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACIW), a leading international provider of payment systems, today announced financial results for the period ended June 30, 2012. We will hold a conference call on July 26, 2012, at 8:30 a.m. EST to discuss this information. Interested persons may also access a real-time audio broadcast of the teleconference at www.aciworldwide.com/investors.

“We are very satisfied with our integration efforts of S1 during the last quarter and a half. We delivered on the initial cost synergies of $33 million and are progressing against an additional $20 million in planned synergies related to facilities consolidation and IT infrastructure rationalization. We expect that this second phase of identified margin improvements will enable us to achieve a more profitable 2013 and beyond,” said Chief Executive Officer Philip Heasley. “Importantly, the quarter also included critical customer and industry events in June in which we unveiled our combined product roadmaps. Today ACI offers the most comprehensive suite of solutions to address the complex needs of the global payments marketplace,” continued Mr Heasley.


FINANCIAL SUMMARY

2012 Guidance

We are reiterating our 2012 full year guidance for non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA ranges of $99-104 million and $165-170 million respectively. We are revising our revenue range to reflect both foreign exchange movement year-to-date as well as incremental purchase accounting adjustments. Hence, guidance for the calendar year is as follows: GAAP Revenue to achieve a range of $683-693 million, non-GAAP Operating Income of $99-104 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $165-170 million. Guidance for the year excludes $31 million of acquisition related fees; inclusive of $16 million of professional fees and transaction-related expenses largely incurred in the first quarter as well as $15 million of facilities and IT infrastructure related costs identified during the second quarter.

Acquisition Synergies

Upon full implementation, ACI anticipates annualized savings of $53 million from the cost synergies effected. We expect to achieve an annualized run rate of $48 million in savings by the end of 2012 and attain an annualized run rate of $53 million in savings by the end of 2013. Year to date, ACI has spent $22.6 million on SG&A, Facilities and IT rationalization and anticipates spending a further $8.4 million on facilities and IT infrastructure exit costs during calendar year 2012.

Sales

Sales bookings in the quarter totaled $156.2 million. In the prior-year quarter sales bookings were $147.0 million. S1 contributed $39.2 million to sales in the quarter. ACI organic sales variance is related to timing of large term extensions. Sales and projects were impacted during the quarter by customers waiting to make purchasing decisions pending the release of our combined product strategy that was unveiled in June.

Backlog

Excluding negative foreign exchange translation of $23.5 million, 60-month backlog grew $12.8 million in the quarter. 60-month backlog as of June 30, 2012 was $2.306 billion. 12-month backlog decreased $12 million to $570 million as compared to $582 million at March 31, 2012. 12-month backlog was reduced by $6.2 million due to foreign exchange movements in the quarter.


Revenue

GAAP revenue increased to $149.8 million or an increase of $36.4 million, or 32%, over prior-year quarter. The acquisition of S1 Corporation contributed $43.1 million of revenue in the second quarter. Organic revenue decreased as compared to prior-year quarter primarily due to the following factors: timing of non-recurring license and services revenue of approximately $10.0 million pushed out to the second half of the year as well as a $3.0 million reduction due to foreign currency movements. Non-GAAP revenue increased $46.1 million, or 41%, over prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP revenue excludes the impact of $9.6 million of deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 but was not recognized due to GAAP purchase accounting requirements.

Operating Expenses

Excluding $7.6 million of S1 acquisition related one-time expenses related for IT-related infrastructure exit costs and severance expense, operating expenses increased $47.1 million compared to the prior year quarter due to the addition of $45.0 million of S1 expenses inclusive of $4.0 million of intangibles amortization. Total GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $157.7 million.

Operating Income/Loss

Consolidated GAAP operating loss was $7.9 million for the quarter. Non-GAAP operating income decreased $1.0 million, or 10%, compared to the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP operating income excludes the $9.6 million deferred revenue adjustment due to purchase accounting as well as the impact of $7.6 million of one-time expenses related to IT-related infrastructure exit costs and severance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $25.7 million, an improvement of $5.8 million, or 29%, compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of $9.6 million of deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 but was not recognized due to GAAP purchase accounting requirements and $7.6 million of acquisition related one-time expenses.

Liquidity

We had $149.6 million in cash on hand as of June 30, 2012. The Company also paid $3.1 million in principal payments for the term credit facility during the second quarter 2012. During the second quarter, we repurchased 961,692 shares for $37.8 million. The remaining dollar value of shares authorized for purchase under the stock repurchase program was approximately $31.0 million.


Operating Free Cash Flow

Operating free cash flow (“OFCF”) for the quarter was $(3.8) million, a decrease of $5.4 million as compared to the prior-year quarter.

Other Expense

Other expense for the quarter was $3.0 million, a reduction of $3.1 million as compared to other income of $0.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The variance was driven by higher interest expense of $2.5 million as well as negative foreign exchange variance of $0.6 million.

Taxes

Income tax benefit in the quarter was $6.2 million, or a 57.1% effective tax rate, compared to income tax expense of $0.7 million, or a 6.7% rate, in the prior-year quarter. The income tax benefit for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was due to the beneficial impact of domestic losses at the U.S. tax rate offset by foreign income at lower tax rates.

Net Income (loss) and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $4.7 million, compared to net income of $9.8 million during the same period last year.

Earnings (loss) per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $(0.12) per diluted share compared to $0.29 per diluted share during the same period last year. Excluding the impact of $7.6 million of S1 acquisition related one-time expenses and the impact of $9.6 of million deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 but was not recognized due to GAAP purchase accounting requirements, earnings per share was $0.16 per diluted share.

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

Total diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 39.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 34.3 million shares outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The number of weighted average shares outstanding was increased by 5.8 million due to the issuance of shares related to the acquisition of S1 Corporation. 6.7


million options to purchase shares, restricted share awards, common stock warrants and contingently issuable shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(1) This presentation includes non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for commparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(2) Adjustment for $9.6 million of deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 but was not recognized due to GAAP pruchase accounting requirements.
(3) One-time expense related to the acquistion of S1, including, $3.6 million for employee related actions, $3.1 million for termination of the IBM IT outsourcing agreement and $0.9 million for other professional fees.
(4) Adjustments tax effected at 35%.
(5) Accelerated stock compensation expense for terminated employees related to the S1 acquisition.
(6) Diluted shares in the non-GAAP adjustment column includes dilutive effect of stock options, restricted share awards, and common stock warrants as if the Company had net income for the reported period.


To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measure indicated in the tables, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to the acquisition of S1, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

 

   

Non-GAAP revenue, revenue plus deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements. Non-GAAP revenue should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, revenue.

 

   

Non-GAAP operating income, operating income (loss) plus deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and one-time expense related to the acquisition of S1. Non-GAAP operating income should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) plus income tax expense, net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation, as well as deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and one-time expense related to the acquisition of S1. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income.

 

   

ACI is also presenting operating free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities, plus net after-tax payments associated with employee-related actions, net after-tax payments associated with IBM IT outsourcing transition, and less capital expenditures. Operating free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We utilize this non-GAAP financial measure, and believe it is useful to investors, as an indicator of cash flow available for debt repayment and other investing activities, such as capital investments and acquisitions. We utilize operating free cash flow as a further indicator of operating performance and for planning investing activities. Operating free cash flow should be


 

considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities. A limitation of operating free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. This measure also does not exclude mandatory debt service obligations and, therefore, does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe that operating free cash flow is useful to investors to provide disclosures of our operating results on the same basis as that used by our management.

ACI also includes backlog estimates which are all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. We have historically included assumed renewals in backlog estimates based upon automatic renewal provisions in the executed contract and our historic experience with customer renewal rates.

Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Our 60-month backlog estimate represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions:

 

   

Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term.

 

   

License and facilities management arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences.

 

   

Non-recurring license arrangements are assumed to renew as recurring revenue streams.

 

   

Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

 

   

Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period.


Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates require substantial judgment and are based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong, including for reasons outside of management’s control. For example, our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer’s industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 60-month period.

Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measure indicated
in the tables, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related
to the acquisition of S1, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as depreciation,
amortization
and
share-based
compensation,
that
we
believe
are
helpful
in
understanding
our
past
financial performance and our future results.  The presentation of these non-GAAP financial
measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in
accordance with GAAP. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP
financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with
a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results
presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an
additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results,
provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.   
Non-GAAP operating income which is defined as operating income (loss) plus deferred revenue that
would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 if not for GAAP purchase
accounting requirements and one-time expense related to the acquisition of S1.  Non-GAAP
operating income should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating
income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) plus income tax expense, net interest
income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation, amortization and non-cash
compensation, as well as deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of
business by S1 if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and one-time expense related to
the acquisition of S1.  Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a
substitute for, operating income.
ACI is also presenting operating free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided (used) by
operating activities, less net after-tax payments associated with cash settlement of S1 stock options
and S1 related transaction costs, net after-tax payments associated with IBM IT outsourcing
transition, capital expenditures and plus or minus net proceeds from IBM.  Operating free cash flow
is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G.  We utilize this non-
GAAP financial measure, and believe it is useful to investors, as an indicator of cash flow available
for debt repayment and other investing activities, such as capital investments and acquisitions. We
utilize operating free cash flow as a further indicator of operating performance and for planning
investing activities.  Operating free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a
substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities.  A limitation of operating free cash flow is
that
it
does
not
represent
the
total
increase
or
decrease
in
the
cash
balance
for
the
period.
This
measure
also
does
not
exclude
mandatory
debt
service
obligations
and,
therefore,
does
not
represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe that operating
free cash flow is useful to investors to provide disclosures of our operating results on the same basis
as that used by our management
27


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ACI also includes backlog estimates which are all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in
executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the
related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period.  We have historically included assumed renewals in
backlog
estimates
based
upon
automatic
renewal
provisions
in
the
executed
contract
and
our
historic
experience
with
customer renewal rates. 
Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Our 60-month backlog estimate
represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions:
Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed
maintenance term is less than the committed license term.
License and facilities management arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate
consistent with our historical experiences.
Non-recurring
license
arrangements
are
assumed
to
renew
as
recurring
revenue
streams.
Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts
stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period.
Estimates
of
future
financial
results
are
inherently
unreliable.
Our
backlog
estimates
require
substantial
judgment
and
are
based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong,
including
for
reasons
outside
of
management’s
control.
For
example,
our
customers
may
attempt
to
renegotiate
or
terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general
changes in economic conditions in the customer’s industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the
development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates
and amounts to differ from historical experiences.  Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the
amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included
in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the
corresponding 60-month period.
Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue.
