FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “will,” “should,” “plans” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Among the factors that significantly impact our business and could impact our business in the future are:

our reliance on our relationship with Popular, Inc. (“Popular”) for a significant portion of our revenue and with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“Banco Popular”), Popular’s principal banking subsidiary, to grow our Merchant Acquiring business;

•

our ability to renew our client contracts on terms favorable to us;

•

the effectiveness of our risk management procedures;

•

our dependence on our processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent payment detection systems, as well as on our personnel and certain third parties with whom we do business;

•

the credit risk of our merchant clients, for which we may also be liable;

the continuing market position of the ATH network despite competition and potential shifts in consumer payment preferences;

•

our dependence on credit card associations, including any adverse changes in credit card association or network rules or fees;

•

regulatory limitations on our activities due to our relationship with Popular and our role as a service provider to financial institutions;

•

changes in the regulatory environment and changes in international, legal, political, administrative or economic conditions;

•

the geographical concentration of our business in Puerto Rico;

•

operating an international business in multiple regions with potential political and economic instability, including Latin America;

•

operating in countries and with counterparties that put us at risk of violating U.S. sanctions laws;

•

our ability to execute our geographic expansion and acquisition strategies;

•

our ability to protect our intellectual property rights against infringement and to defend ourselves against claims of infringement brought by third parties;

•

our ability to recruit and retain the qualified personnel necessary to operate our business;

•

our ability to comply with U.S. federal, state, local and foreign regulatory requirements;

•

evolving industry standards and adverse changes in global economic, political and other conditions;

•

our high level of indebtedness and restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including the senior secured credit facilities, as well as debt that could be incurred in the future;

•

our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness and to generate future profits; and

•

other factors discussed in this Report, including in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any of the “forward-looking statements” to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by the federal securities laws.

Investors should refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”) for a discussion of factors that could cause events to differ from those suggested by the forward-looking statements, including factors set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

EVERTEC, Inc. (formerly known as Carib Latam Holdings, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” or “EVERTEC”) is the leading full-service transaction processing business in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company is based in Puerto Rico and provides a broad range of merchant acquiring, payment processing and business process management services across 19 countries in the region. EVERTEC owns and operates the ATH network, one of the leading automated teller machine (“ATM”) and personal identification number (“PIN”) debit networks in Latin America. In addition, EVERTEC provides a comprehensive suite of services for core bank processing, cash processing and technology outsourcing in the regions the Company serves. EVERTEC serves a broad and diversified customer base of leading financial institutions, merchants, corporations and government agencies with “mission-critical” technology solutions that are essential to their operations, enabling them to issue, process and accept transactions securely. Management believes that the Company’s business is well-positioned to continue to expand across the fast-growing Latin American region.

On April 13, 2012, EVERTEC was formed in order to act as the new parent company of EVERTEC Intermediate Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Carib Holdings, LLC and Carib Holdings, Inc., hereinafter “Holdings”) and its subsidiaries, including EVERTEC Group, LLC (formerly known as EVERTEC, LLC and EVERTEC, Inc., hereinafter “EVERTEC Group”). The Company’s subsidiaries include Holdings, EVERTEC Group, EVERTEC Dominicana SAS, EVERTEC Panamá, S.A., EVERTEC Costa Rica, S.A. (“EVERTEC CR”), EVERTEC Guatemala, S.A. and EVERTEC México Servicios de Procesamiento, S.A. de C.V.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of EVERTEC have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the September 30, 2013 unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes to conform with the presentation in 2014.

Stock Repurchase Plan

On September 24, 2014, the Company announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $75 million of the Company’s common stock over the next 12 months. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. The Company’s repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or other transactions, any of which may be enacted immediately following the Board’s approval of the stock repurchase program. The Company intends to fund repurchases under the stock repurchase program from cash on hand and available borrowings under its existing credit facility, as necessary. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. For the period ended September 30, 2014, the Company did not repurchase any shares under this program.

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations:

In August 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance relating to disclosures for uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have an impact on the financial statements when adopted.

Note 3 – Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net consists of the following:


(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Useful life in years	September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Buildings	30	$	1,600		$	1,726
Data processing equipment	3 - 5		73,199			68,273

Note 4 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, allocated by reportable segments, were as follows (See Note 12):


(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Merchant Acquiring, net		Payment Processing			Business Solutions			Total
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	138,121	$	187,622		$	47,376		$	373,119
Foreign currency translation adjustments		—		(2,906	)		(909	)		(3,815	)

Balance at September 30, 2014	$	138,121	$	184,716		$	46,467		$	369,304

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment, using the qualitative assessment option or step zero process. Using this process, the Company first assesses whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company completed the qualitative assessment described above and determined that there were no impairment losses to be recognized during the period. There were no triggering events or changes in circumstances that subsequent to the impairment test would have required an additional impairment evaluation. As part of the Company’s qualitative assessment, EVERTEC considered the results for the 2011 impairment test (which indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit was in excess of 30% of its carrying amount) as well as current market conditions and changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s reporting units that occurred subsequent to the 2011 impairment test.

The carrying amount of other intangible assets at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following:


(Dollar amounts in thousands)		September 30, 2014
	Useful life in years	Gross amount		Accumulated amortization			Net carrying amount
Customer relationships	14	$	312,811	$	(89,909	)	$	222,902

On April 17, 2013, EVERTEC Group entered into a credit agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) governing the senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $300.0 million term loan A facility (the “Term A Loan”) which matures on April 17, 2018, a $400.0 million term loan B facility (the “Term B Loan”) which matures on April 17, 2020 and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility which matures on April 17, 2018.

Term A Loan

As of September 30, 2014, the unpaid principal balance of the Term A Loan was $281.3 million. The Term A Loan requires principal payments on the last business day of each quarter equal to (a) 1.250% of the original principal amount commencing on September 30, 2013 through June 30, 2016; (b) 1.875% of the original principal amount from September 30, 2016 through June 30, 2017; (c) 2.50% of the original principal amount from September 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018; and (d) the remaining outstanding principal amount on the maturity of the Term A Loan on April 17, 2018. Interest is based on EVERTEC Group’s first lien secured net leverage ratio and payable at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%, or (b) Base Rate, as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%. Term A Loan has no LIBOR or Base Rate minimum or floor.

Term B Loan

As of September 30, 2014, the unpaid principal balance of the Term B Loan was $395.0 million. The Term B Loan requires principal payments on the last business day of each quarter equal to 0.250% of the original principal amount commencing on September 30, 2013 and the remaining outstanding principal amount on the maturity of the Term B Loan on April 17, 2020. Interest is based on EVERTEC Group’s first lien secured net leverage ratio and payable at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or (b) Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%. The LIBOR and Base Rate are subject to floors of 0.75% and 1.75%, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility has an available balance up to $100.0 million, with an interest rate on loans calculated the same as the applicable Term A Loan rate. The facility matures on April 17, 2018 and has a “commitment fee” payable one business day after the last business day of each quarter calculated based on the daily unused commitment during the preceding quarter. The commitment fee for the unused portion of this facility ranges from 0.125% to 0.375% and is based on EVERTEC Group’s first lien secured net leverage ratio.

The senior secured credit facilities contain various restrictive covenants. The Term A Loan and the revolving credit facility (subject to certain exceptions) require us to maintain on a quarterly basis a specified maximum senior secured leverage ratio of up to 6.60 to 1.00 as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement (total first lien secured debt to adjusted EBITDA). In addition, the 2013 Credit Agreement,

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

among other things: (a) limits our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments and enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (b) restricts our ability to enter into agreements that would limit the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make certain payments to us; and (c) places restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the applicable restrictive covenants under the 2013 Credit Agreement.

Note 6 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurement provisions establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. These provisions describe three levels of input that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company uses observable inputs when available. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices when available. If market prices are not available, the Company may employ internally-developed models that mostly use market-based inputs including yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, and credit curves, among others. The Company limits valuation adjustments to those deemed necessary to ensure that the financial instrument’s fair value adequately represents the price that would be received or paid in the marketplace. Valuation adjustments may include consideration of counterparty credit quality and liquidity as well as other criteria. The estimated fair value amounts are subjective in nature and may involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment for certain financial instruments. Changes in the underlying assumptions used in estimating fair value could affect the results. The fair value measurement levels are not indicative of risk of investment.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
September 30, 2014
Financial assets:
Indemnification assets:
Software cost reimbursement	$	—	$	—	$	1,632	$	1,632

December 31, 2013
Financial assets:
Indemnification assets:
Software cost reimbursement	$	—	$	—	$	3,586	$	3,586

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which an asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on the type of financial instrument and relevant market information. Many of these estimates involve various assumptions and may vary significantly from amounts that could be realized in actual transactions.

For those financial instruments with no quoted market prices available, fair values have been estimated using present value calculations or other valuation techniques, as well as management’s best judgment with respect to current economic conditions, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows.

EVERTEC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Indemnification assets include the present value of the expected future cash flows of certain expense reimbursement agreements with Popular. These contracts have termination dates up to September 2015 and were entered into in connection with the merger transaction completed on September 30, 2010 (“the Merger”). Management prepared estimates of the expected reimbursements to be received from Popular until the termination of the contracts, discounted the estimated future cash flows and recorded the indemnification assets as of the Merger closing date. Payments received during the quarters reduced the indemnification asset balance. The remaining balance was adjusted to reflect its fair value as of September 30, 2014, therefore resulting in a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and a net unrealized gain of approximately $2,000 and $21,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, which are reflected within the other expenses caption in the unaudited consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The current portion of the indemnification assets is included within accounts receivable, net, and the other long-term portion is included within other long-term assets in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The unobservable inputs related to the Company’s indemnification assets as of September 30, 2014 using the discounted cash flow model include the discount rate of 5.53% and the projected cash flows of $1.6 million.

For indemnification assets a significant increase or decrease in market rates or cash flows could result in a significant change to the fair value. Also, the credit rating and/or the non-performance credit risk of Popular, which is subjective in nature, also could increase or decrease the sensitivity of the fair value of these assets.

The following table presents the carrying value, as applicable, and estimated fair values for financial instruments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:


	September 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Indemnification assets:
Software cost reimbursement	$	1,632	$	1,632	$	3,586	$	3,586

Financial liabilities:
Senior secured term loan A	$	280,968	$	276,913	$	292,153	$	284,091
Senior secured term loan B		390,134		387,922		392,527		387,055

The fair value of the senior secured term loans at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were obtained using prices supplied by third party service providers. Their pricing is based on various inputs such as: market quotes, recent trading activity in a non-active market or imputed prices. The pricing inputs also may include the use of an algorithm that could take into account movement in the general high-yield market, among other variants.

The senior secured term loans, which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheets, if measured, could be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the change in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 assets:


	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,

Total deferred tax benefit	$	(1,056	)	$	(472	)	$	(1,486	)	$	(6,723	)

Taxes payable to foreign countries by EVERTEC’s subsidiaries will be paid by such subsidiary and the corresponding liability and expense will be presented in EVERTEC’s consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2014, the gross deferred tax asset amounted to $10.6 million and the gross deferred tax liability amounted to $27.9 million, compared with $13.5 million and $31.7 million as of December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014, the recorded value of the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards was $7.9 million. The recorded value of the NOL carryforwards is approximately $6.3 million lower than the total NOL carryforwards available because of a windfall tax benefit. The windfall tax benefit is available to offset future taxable income and is considered an off-balance sheet item until the deduction reduces taxes payable. This windfall tax benefit results from tax deductions that were in excess of previously recorded compensation expense because the fair value of stock options at the time they were granted differed from their fair value when they were exercised. The total gross NOL carryforwards available, including the windfall benefit, amounted to $47.0 million as of September 30, 2014.

There are no open uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2014.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

Certain lease agreements contain provisions for future rent increases. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is recorded as a deferred rent obligation. Total deferred rent obligation as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 amounted to $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and is included within the accounts receivable, net caption in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Rent expense of office facilities and real estate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $2.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $5.7 million for the corresponding 2013 periods. Rent expense for telecommunications and other equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $1.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $5.3 million for the corresponding 2013 periods.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into commercial commitments. As of September 30, 2014, EVERTEC has an outstanding letter of credit of $1.1 million with a maturity of less than three months.

EVERTEC is a defendant in a number of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the opinion of legal counsel and other factors, management believes that the final disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows of the Company. The Company has identified certain claims as a result of which a loss may be incurred, but in the aggregate the loss would be minimal. For other claims regarding which proceedings are in an initial phase, the Company is unable to estimate the range of possible loss but at this time believes that any loss related to such claims will not be material.

Note 12 – Segment Information

The Company operates in three business segments: Merchant Acquiring, Payment Processing and Business Solutions.

The Merchant Acquiring segment consists of revenue from services that allow merchants to accept electronic methods of payment. In the Merchant Acquiring segment, revenue includes a discount fee (generally a percentage of the transaction value) and membership fees charged to merchants, debit network fees and rental fees from point of sales (“POS”) devices and other equipment, net of credit card interchange and assessment fees charged by credit cards associations (such as VISA or MasterCard) or payment networks.

Payment Processing segment revenue comprises income related to providing financial institutions access to the ATH network and other card networks, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. Payment Processing revenue also includes income from card processing services for debit or credit issuers such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement, and fraud monitoring and control services, payment processing services (such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions) and electronic benefit transfer (“EBT”), which principally consists of services to the government of Puerto Rico for the delivery of benefits to participants.

For ATH network and processing services, revenue is driven mainly by the number of transactions processed. Revenue is derived mainly from network fees, transaction switching and processing fees, and the leasing of POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenue is mostly dependent upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed and other processing services. For EBT services, revenue is derived mainly from the number of beneficiaries on file.

The Business Solutions segment consists of revenue from a full suite of business process management solutions in various product areas, such as core bank processing, network hosting and management, IT professional services, business process outsourcing, item processing, cash processing, and fulfillment. Core bank processing and network services revenues are derived in part from a recurrent fee and from fees based on the number of accounts on file (i.e.; savings or checking accounts, loans, etc.) or computer resources utilized. Revenue from other processing services within the Business Solutions segment is generally volume-based and depend on factors such as the number of accounts processed. In addition, EVERTEC is a reseller of hardware and software products and these resale transactions are generally one-time transactions.

Executive Summary

EVERTEC is the leading full-service transaction processing business in Latin America, providing a broad range of merchant acquiring, payment processing and business process management services. According to the July 2014 Nilson Report, we are the largest merchant acquirer in the Caribbean and Central America and one of the largest in Latin America, based on total number of transactions. We serve 19 countries in the region from our base in Puerto Rico. We manage a system of electronic payment networks that process more than 2.1 billion transactions annually, and offer a comprehensive suite of services for core bank processing, cash processing and technology outsourcing. In addition, we own and operate the ATH network, one of the leading personal identification number (“PIN”) debit networks in Latin America. We serve a diversified customer base of leading financial institutions, merchants, corporations and government agencies with “mission-critical” technology solutions that enable them to issue, process and accept transactions securely. We believe our business is well-positioned to continue to expand across the fast-growing Latin American region.

We are differentiated, in part, by our diversified business model, which enables us to provide our varied customer base with a broad range of transaction-processing services from a single source across numerous channels and geographic markets. We believe this single-source capability provides several competitive advantages that will enable us to continue to penetrate our existing customer base with complementary new services, win new customers, develop new sales channels and enter new markets. We believe these competitive advantages include:

•

Our ability to provide in one package a range of services that traditionally had to be sourced from different vendors;

•

Our ability to serve customers with disparate operations in several geographies with a single integrated technology solution that enables them to manage their business as one enterprise; and

•

Our ability to capture and analyze data across the transaction processing value chain and use that data to provide value-added services that are differentiated from those offered by pure-play vendors that serve only one portion of the transaction processing value chain (such as only merchant acquiring or payment processing).

Our broad suite of services spans the entire transaction processing value chain and includes a range of front-end customer-facing solutions such as the electronic capture and authorization of transactions at the point-of-sale, as well as back-end support services such as the clearing and settlement of transactions and account reconciliation for card issuers. These include: (i) merchant acquiring services, which enable point of sales (“POS”) and e-commerce merchants to accept and process electronic methods of payment such as debit, credit, prepaid and electronic benefit transfer (“EBT”) cards; (ii) payment processing services, which enable financial institutions and other issuers to manage, support and facilitate the processing for credit, debit, prepaid, automated teller machines (“ATM”) and EBT card programs; and (iii) business process management solutions, which provide “mission-critical” technology solutions such as core bank processing, as well as IT outsourcing and cash management services to financial institutions, corporations and governments. We provide these services through a highly scalable, end-to-end technology platform that we manage and operate in-house and that generates significant operating efficiencies that enable us to maximize profitability.

We sell and distribute our services mainly through a proprietary direct sales force with strong customer relationships. We are also building a variety of indirect sales channels that enable us to leverage the distribution capabilities of partners in adjacent markets, including value-added resellers. Also, we continue to pursue joint ventures and merchant acquiring alliances.

We benefit from an attractive business model, the hallmarks of which are recurring revenue, scalability, significant operating margins and low capital expenditure requirements. Our revenue is recurring in nature because of the “mission-critical” and embedded nature of the services we provide, the high switching costs associated with these services and the multi-year contracts we negotiate with our customers. Our business model enables us to continue to grow our business organically without significant additional capital expenditures.

Corporate Background

EVERTEC, Inc. (formerly known as Carib Latam Holdings, Inc.) is a Puerto Rico corporation organized in April 2012. Our main operating subsidiary, EVERTEC Group, LLC (formerly known as EVERTEC, LLC and EVERTEC, Inc., hereinafter “EVERTEC Group”), was organized in Puerto Rico in 1988. EVERTEC Group was formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Popular. On September 30, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), AP Carib Holdings, Ltd. (“Apollo”) acquired a 51% indirect ownership interest in EVERTEC Group as part of a merger (the “Merger”) and EVERTEC Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.

On April 17, 2012, EVERTEC Group was converted from a Puerto Rico corporation to a Puerto Rico limited liability company (the “Conversion”) for the purpose of improving its consolidated tax efficiency by taking advantage of changes to the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “PR Code”), that permit limited liability companies to be treated as partnerships that are pass-through entities for Puerto Rico tax purposes. Concurrent with the Conversion, Holdings, which is our direct subsidiary, was also converted from a Puerto Rico corporation to a Puerto Rico limited liability company. Prior to these conversions, EVERTEC, Inc. was formed in order to act as the new parent company of Holdings and its subsidiaries, including EVERTEC Group. The transactions described above in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Reorganization.”

Separation From and Key Relationship with Popular

Prior to the Merger on September 30, 2010, EVERTEC Group was 100% owned by Popular, the largest financial institution in the Caribbean, and operated substantially as an independent entity within Popular. After the consummation of the Merger, Popular retained an indirect ownership interest in EVERTEC Group and remains our largest customer. In connection with, and upon consummation of the Merger, EVERTEC Group entered into a 15-year Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”), and several related agreements with Popular. Under the terms of the MSA, Popular agreed to continue to use EVERTEC services on an ongoing and exclusive basis, for the duration of the agreement, on commercial terms consistent with those of our historical relationship. Additionally, Popular granted us a right of first refusal on the development of certain new financial technology products and services for the duration of the MSA.

Factors and Trends Affecting the Results of Our Operations

The ongoing migration from cash and paper methods of payment to electronic payments continues to benefit the transaction processing industry globally. We believe that the penetration of electronic payments in the markets in which we operate is significantly lower relative to the U.S. market, and that this ongoing shift will continue to generate substantial growth opportunities for our business. For example, currently the adoption of banking products, including electronic payments, in the Latin American region is lower relative to the more mature U.S. and European markets. We believe that the unbanked and underbanked population in our markets will continue to shrink, therefore driving incremental penetration and growth of electronic payments in Puerto Rico and other Latin American regions. We also benefit from the trend for financial institutions and government agencies to outsource technology systems and processes. Many medium- and small-size institutions in the Latin American markets in which we operate have outdated computer systems and updating these IT legacy systems is financially and logistically challenging. We believe that our technology and business outsourcing solutions cater to the evolving needs of the financial institution customer base we target, providing integrated, open, flexible, customer-centric and efficient IT products and services.

Our results of operations may be affected by regulatory changes that will occur as the payments industry has come under increased scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators.

Finally, our financial condition and results of operations are, in part, dependent on the economic and general conditions of the geographies in which we operate.

Overview of Results of Operations

The following briefly describes the components of revenue and expenses as presented in the unaudited consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Descriptions of the revenue recognition policies are detailed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Merchant Acquiring, net. Merchant Acquiring revenue consists of income from services that allow merchants to accept electronic methods of payment. Our standard merchant contract has an initial term of one or three years, with automatic one-year renewal periods. In the Merchant Acquiring segment, sources of revenue include a discount fee (generally a percentage of the sales amount of a credit or debit card transaction value) and membership fees charged to merchants, debit network fees and rental income from POS devices and other equipment, net of credit card interchange and assessment fees charged by credit card associations (such as VISA or MasterCard) or payment networks.

Merchant Acquiring accounted for $19.2 million, or 21.7% of total revenues, and $8.5 million or 23.7% of total segment income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with $18.2 million, or 20.8%, of total revenues and $8.6 million, or 25.3% of total segment income from operations for the comparable period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Merchant Acquiring business accounted for $58.3 million, or 21.9% of total revenues and $25.7 million or 24.1% of total segment income from operations compared with $53.8 million, or 20.4%, of total revenues and $26.0 million, or 27.3%, of total segment income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Payment Processing. Payment Processing revenue comprises income related to providing financial institutions access to the ATH network and other card networks, including related services such as authorization, processing, management and recording of ATM and POS transactions, and ATM management and monitoring. Payment Processing revenue also includes income from card processing services for debit or credit issuers, such as credit and debit card processing, authorization and settlement and fraud monitoring and control services; payment processing services such as payment and billing products for merchants, businesses and financial institutions; and EBT, which principally consists of services to the Puerto Rico government for the delivery of government benefits to participants. Payment products include electronic check processing, automated clearing house (“ACH”), lockbox, interactive voice response and web-based payments through personalized websites, among others.

We generally enter into one to five year contracts with our private payment processing clients and one year contracts with our government payment processing clients. For ATH network and processing services, revenue is driven mainly by the number of transactions processed. Revenue is derived mainly from network fees, transaction switching and processing fees, and leasing of POS devices. For card issuer processing, revenue is dependent mostly upon the number of cardholder accounts on file, transactions and authorizations processed, the number of cards embossed and other processing services. For EBT services, revenue is derived mainly from the number of beneficiaries on file.

Payment Processing accounted for $25.6 million, or 28.9%, of total revenues and $14.7 million, or 40.9%, of total segment income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with $24.7 million, or 28.3%, of total revenues and $14.1 million, or 41.5%, of total segment income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Payment Processing business accounted for $77.0 million, or 28.8%, of total revenues and $44.7 million, or 41.9%, of total segment income from operations, compared with $73.1 million, or 27.7%, of total revenues and $38.5 million, or 40.5%, of total segment income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Business Solutions. Business Solutions revenue consists of income from a full suite of business process management solutions including core bank processing, network hosting and management, IT consulting services, business process outsourcing, item and cash processing, and fulfillment. We generally enter into one to five year contracts with our private Business Solutions clients and one year contracts with our government Business Solutions clients.

In addition, we are a reseller of hardware and software products; these resale transactions are generally one-time transactions. Revenue from sales of hardware or software products is recognized once the following four criteria are met: (i) evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the selling price is reasonably assured or probable, as applicable.

Business Solutions accounted for $43.8 million, or 49.4%, of total revenues and $12.7 million, or 35.3%, of total segment income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with $44.5 million, or 50.9%, of total revenues and $11.3 million, or 33.3%, of total segment income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Business Solutions accounted for $131.6 million, or 49.3%, of total revenues and $36.2 million, or 34.0%, of total segment income from operations, compared with $137.0 million, or 51.9%, of total revenues and $30.6 million, or 32.2%, of total segment income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Cost of revenues. This caption includes the costs directly associated with providing services to customers, as well as, product and software sales, including software licensing and maintenance costs; telecommunications costs; personnel and infrastructure costs to develop and maintain applications, operate computer networks and provide associated customer support; and other operating expenses.

Selling, general and administrative. This caption consists mainly of salaries, wages and related expenses paid to sales personnel, administrative employees and management, advertising and promotional costs, audit and legal fees, and other selling expenses.

Depreciation and amortization. This caption consists of our depreciation and amortization expense. Following the completion of the Merger, our depreciation and amortization expense increased as a result of the purchase price allocation adjustments to reflect the fair market value and revised useful life assigned to property and equipment and intangible assets in connection with the Merger.

Merchant Acquiring, net	$	58,345	$	53,835	$	4,510		8	%
Payment Processing		77,019		73,128		3,891		5	%
Business Solutions		131,609		136,965		(5,356	)	-4	%

Total revenues	$	266,974	$	263,928	$	3,046		1	%

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $3.0 million or 1% compared with the corresponding 2013 period.

Merchant Acquiring revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $4.5 million or 8% compared with the corresponding 2013 period. The revenue growth was primarily the result of an increase in transaction volumes.

Payment Processing revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $3.9 million or 5% compared with the corresponding 2013 period. Revenue growth was driven mainly by an increase in our card products business resulting from higher accounts on file due to new customer additions in our Latin America operations and by an increase in ATH and POS network and processing transactions.

Business Solutions revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $5.4 million or 4% compared with the corresponding 2013 period. The decrease is almost entirely attributable to a decline in hardware and software sales of $7.4 million, partially offset by an increase in demand for core banking and other services.

Operating costs and expenses


	Nine months ended September 30,
(Dollar amounts in thousands)	2014		2013		Variance
Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown below	$	115,109	$	121,176	$	(6,067	)	-5	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses		25,629		30,477		(4,848	)	-16	%

Total operating costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $14.5 million or 7% compared with the corresponding 2013 period.

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $6.1 million or 5% compared with the corresponding 2013 period. The decrease was due mainly to lower cost of sales incurred as a result of the aforementioned decrease in hardware and software sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $4.8 million or 16% compared with the corresponding 2013 period. The decrease was due mainly to the impact in the prior year of a $3.1 million non-cash charge taken in connection with the vesting of all Tranche B and C stock options and to $1.6 million of one-time expenses related to the secondary offering completed in the third quarter of 2013.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $3.6 million or 7% compared with the corresponding 2013 period. The decrease resulted from lower amortization of software packages that became fully depreciated.

Total non-operating (expenses) income	$	(16,503	)	$	(107,464	)	$	90,961	85	%

Total non-operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $91.0 million compared with the corresponding 2013 period. Non-operating expenses in 2013 were driven mainly by a $58.5 million charge related to the extinguishment of debt and a $16.7 million expense related to the termination of our Consulting Agreements with Apollo and Popular, coupled with a decrease in interest expense of $11.6 million as a result of the debt refinancing transaction completed during the second quarter of 2013.

Income tax expense (benefit)

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $5.2 million compared with an income tax benefit of $3.6 million for the corresponding 2013 period. The income tax expense for 2014 is a result of taxable income, while the prior year tax benefit was attributable to a taxable loss as a result of higher non-operating expenses related to the aforementioned extinguishment of debt, the termination of the Consulting Agreements and the vesting of all Tranche B and C stock options.

See Note 8 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity is cash generated from operations, and our primary liquidity requirements are the funding of capital expenditures and working capital needs. We also have a $100.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $92.0 million was available as of September 30, 2014.

At September 30, 2014, we had cash of $29.2 million, of which $16.4 million resides in our subsidiaries located outside of Puerto Rico for purposes of (i) funding the respective subsidiary’s current business operations and (ii) funding potential future investment outside of Puerto Rico. We intend to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of Puerto Rico, and based on our liquidity forecast, we will not need to repatriate this cash to fund the Puerto Rico operations or to meet debt-service obligations. However, if in the future we determine that we no longer need to maintain such cash balances within our foreign subsidiaries, we may elect to distribute such cash to the Company in Puerto Rico. Distributions from the foreign subsidiaries to Puerto Rico may be subject to tax withholding and other tax consequences.

Our primary use of cash is for operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments and debt service. In addition, we may use cash for share repurchases pursuant to the $75 million stock repurchase program announced on September 24, 2014. We intend to fund repurchases from cash on hand and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. No repurchases were made for the period ended September 30, 2014.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flows from operations and the available senior secured revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. However, our ability to fund future operating expenses, dividend payments and capital expenditures and our ability to make scheduled payments of interest, to pay principal on or refinance our indebtedness and to satisfy any other of our present or future debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial and other factors beyond our control.


	Nine months ended September 30,
(Dollar amounts in thousands)	2014			2013
Cash provided by operating activities	$	103,798		$	13,684
Cash used in investing activities		(17,212	)		(17,112	)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(79,845	)		5,754

Increase in cash	$	6,741		$	2,326

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $103.8 million compared with $13.7 million for the corresponding 2013 period. The increase of $90.1 million was driven by higher income from operations in 2014, while prior year includes cash used to pay certain amounts related to the redemption of the senior notes and the extinguishment of debt of $41.9 million, and a $16.7 million payment related to the termination of the Consulting Agreements with Popular and Apollo.

Net cash used in investing activities is mostly related to purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $79.8 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $5.8 million in the corresponding 2013 period. Cash used in financing activities in 2014 consisted of $57.5 million in debt repayments and $23.5 million in quarterly dividends paid. Cash provided by financing activities in 2013 consisted of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and from the issuance of additional debt amounting to $812.4 million, partially offset by $771.1 million of debt repayment, $12.1 million of debt issuance costs, $16.7 million in taxes paid as a result of cashless exercise of stock options and $8.2 million in dividend payments.

Capital Resources

Our principal capital expenditures are for hardware and computer software (purchased and internally developed) and additions to property and equipment. We invested approximately $16.6 million and $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Capital expenditures are expected to be funded by cash flow from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Dividend Payments

We currently have a policy under which we pay a regular quarterly dividend on our common stock, subject to the declaration thereof by our Board each quarter. On February 12, 2014, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock, which was paid on March 14, 2014 to stockholders of record as of February 25, 2014.

On May 7, 2014, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock. The cash dividend of $0.10 per share was paid on June 6, 2014 to stockholders of record as of close of business on May 19, 2014.

On August 6, 2014, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock. The cash dividend of $0.10 per share was paid on September 5, 2014 to stockholders of record as of close of business on August 18, 2014.

On November 5, 2014, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock. The cash dividend of $0.10 per share will be paid on December 5, 2014 to stockholders of record as of close of business on November 17, 2014.

Financial Obligations

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Term A Loan

As of September 30, 2014, the unpaid principal balance of the Term A Loan was $281.3 million. The Term A Loan requires principal payments on the last business day of each quarter equal to (a) 1.250% of the original principal amount commencing on September 30, 2013 through June 30, 2016; (b) 1.875% of the original principal amount from September 30, 2016 through June 30, 2017; (c) 2.50% of the original principal amount from September 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018; and (d) the remaining outstanding principal amount on the maturity of the Term A Loan on April 17, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company made principal payments amounting to $11.3 million on the Term A Loan. Interest is based on EVERTEC Group’s first lien secured net leverage ratio and payable at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% or (b) Base Rate, as defined in our 2013 Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%. The Term A Loan has no LIBOR or Base Rate minimum or floor.

Term B Loan

As of September 30, 2014, the unpaid principal balance of the Term B Loan was $395.0 million. The Term B Loan requires principal payments on the last business day of each quarter equal to 0.250% of the original principal amount commencing on September 30, 2013 and the remaining outstanding principal amount on the maturity of the Term B Loan on April 17, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company made principal payments amounting to $3.0 million on the Term B Loan. Interest is based on EVERTEC Group’s first lien secured net leverage ratio and payable at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or (b) Base Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%. The LIBOR and Base Rate are subject to floors of 0.75% and 1.75%, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility has a balance up to $100.0 million, with an interest rate on loans calculated the same as the applicable Term A Loan rate. The facility matures on April 17, 2018 and has a “commitment fee” payable one business day after the last business day of each quarter calculated based on the daily unused commitment during the preceding quarter. The commitment fee for the unused portion of this facility ranges from 0.125% to 0.375% based on EVERTEC Group’s first lien secured net leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility was $8.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company made payments amounting to $42.0 million on the revolving credit facility.

All loans may be prepaid without premium or penalty. The new senior secured credit facilities allow EVERTEC Group to obtain, on an uncommitted basis at the sole discretion of participating lenders, an incremental amount of term loan and/or revolving credit facility commitments not to exceed the greater of (i) $200.0 million and (ii) maximum amount of debt that would not cause EVERTEC Group’s pro forma first lien secured net leverage ratio to exceed 4.25 to 1.00.

The senior secured revolving credit facility is available for general corporate purposes and includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings referred to as swing line borrowings. All obligations under the new senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain exceptions, each of EVERTEC Group’s existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the new senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of EVERTEC Group’s assets and the assets of the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

See Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Other Short-Term Borrowing

In August 2013, we entered into a financing agreement in the ordinary course of business to purchase certain hardware, software and maintenance and related services in the amount of $1.8 million to be repaid in three installments over a term of eight months. As of September 30, 2014, this other short-term borrowing had been fully repaid.

Covenant Compliance

The credit facilities contain various restrictive covenants. The Term A Loan and the revolving facility (subject to certain exceptions) require EVERTEC Group to maintain on a quarterly basis a specified maximum senior secured leverage ratio of up to 6.60 to 1.00 as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement (total first lien senior secured debt to Adjusted EBITDA). In addition, the 2013 Credit Agreement, among other things: (a) limits EVERTEC Group’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments and enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (b) restricts EVERTEC Group’s ability to enter into agreements that would limit the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make certain payments to its parent company; and (c) places restrictions on EVERTEC Group’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets. However, all of the covenants in these agreements are subject to significant exceptions. As of September 30, 2014, the senior secured leverage ratio was 3.53 to 1.00 and we were in compliance with the applicable restrictive covenants under the 2013 Credit Agreement.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to mean EBITDA as so defined and calculated for purposes of determining compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio based on the financial information for the last twelve months at the end of each quarter.

Net Income Reconciliation to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income

We define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments described below. We define “Adjusted Net Income” as net income adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments described below.

We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. In addition, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the senior secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein, such as the senior secured leverage ratio. We use Adjusted Net Income to measure our overall profitability because it better reflects our cash flows generation by capturing the actual cash taxes paid rather than our tax expense as calculated under GAAP and excludes the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of the Merger. In evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them. Further, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future operating results will not be affected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Some of the limitations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are as follows:

•

they do not reflect cash outlays for capital expenditures or future contractual commitments;

•

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital;

•

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements;

•

in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, they do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest, or principal payments, on indebtedness;

•

in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash necessary to pay income taxes; and

•

other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income or may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income differently than as presented in this Report, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per common share are not measurements of liquidity or financial performance under GAAP. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per common share as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business the Company may enter into commercial commitments. As of September 30, 2014, we had an outstanding letter of credit of $1.1 million with a maturity of less than three months. Also, as of September 30, 2014 we had an off balance sheet item of $26.7 million related to the unused amount of the windfall that is available to offset future taxable income.

See Note 8 of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements within Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information related to this off balance sheet item.

Seasonality

Our payment businesses generally experiences increased activity during the traditional holiday shopping periods and around other nationally recognized holidays.

Effect of Inflation

While inflationary increases in certain input costs, such as occupancy, labor and benefits, and general administrative costs, have an impact on our operating results, inflation has had minimal net effect on our operating results during the last three years as overall inflation has been offset by increased selling process and cost reduction actions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will not be affected by general inflation in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks arising from our normal business activities. These market risks principally involve the possibility of changes in interest rates that will adversely affect the value of our financial assets and liabilities or future cash flows and earnings. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices.

Interest rate risks

We issued floating-rate debt which is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Our senior secured credit facilities accrue interest at variable rates and only the Term B Loan is subject to floors or minimum rates. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates over our floor(s) on our debt balances outstanding as of September 30, 2014 under the senior secured credit facilities would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $6.8 million, excluding the revolving credit facility. The impact on future interest expense as a result of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of our borrowings at that time.

Foreign exchange risk

We conduct business in certain countries in Latin America. Some of this business is conducted in the countries’ local currencies. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments, from operations for which the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet, except for highly inflationary environments in which the effects would be included in Other operating income in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). At September 30, 2014, the Company had $6.1 million in an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment as part of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income compared with a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $0.4 million at December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company, under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has established disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule
13a -15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are defendants in various lawsuits or arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on the opinion of legal counsel and other factors, that the aggregated liabilities, if any, arising from such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and the cash flows of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A. of the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K.

The risks described in our 2013 Form 10-K and in this report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
