(NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec” or the “Company”) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights and Recent Highlights Revenue increased 4% to $161.8 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $28.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10% to $68.4 million Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.65, or a 10% decrease Completed the refinancing of credit facilities Full Year 2022 Highlights Revenue grew 5% to $618.4 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $239.0 million, or $3.45 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 9% to $269.5 million Adjusted earnings per common share was $2.42, or a 12% decrease $110 million returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends Closed the Popular Transaction which extended the main commercial agreements Closed two acquisitions, one in Puerto Rico and one in Latin America Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer stated "This was a successful year for us as we completed several milestones. We extended our main commercial agreements with our largest customer, executed on M&A with two acquisitions, refinanced our debt, aggressively repurchased stock and delivered another year of strong revenue growth. We continue to reap the benefits of the capital investments we have made over the years, both in our products and through acquisitions. Looking towards 2023, we continue to focused on finding the best ways to deploy capital to support our long-term growth strategy." Fourth Quarter 2022 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $161.8 million, an increase of 4%, compared with $155.2 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico reflected growth in our Merchant Acquiring and Payment Services segments as these benefited from increased transaction volumes and pricing initiatives implemented earlier in the year. Our Merchant Acquiring segment also benefited from a higher spread per transaction. ATH Movil Business continues to be a driver of growth in our Payment Services segment as was the acquisition completed in the second quarter. Latin America revenue continues to increase due to both organic growth and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $28.7 million, a decrease of $12.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $41.1 million or $0.56 per diluted share in the prior year. The year over year decrease reflects the impact of an increase in costs of revenues, primarily due to the new revenue sharing agreement with Banco Popular, as well as an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR acquisition, provisions for operational losses, printing supplies and cloud services, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to an increase in personnel costs and professional fees as well as higher donations. Additionally, the current quarter reflects a loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $0.8 million compared with a gain of $1.2 million in the prior year quarter and a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt resulting from the refinancing of the Company's credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $68.4 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) decreased approximately 660 basis points to 42.3% compared with 48.9% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margin reflects the impact of the increased expenses discussed, the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement and the impact from the sale of assets to Popular as part of the Popular Transaction which were of higher margin. Adjusted Net Income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $42.6 million, a decrease of 19% compared with $52.6 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.65, a decrease of 10% compared with $0.72 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate in the quarter. Full Year 2022 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $618.4 million, an increase of 5% compared with $589.8 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico increased in both the Merchant Acquiring and Payment Services segments, benefiting from increased transaction volumes as well as pricing initiatives implemented during the year. Merchant Acquiring revenue also benefited from two additional months in 2022 from the expanded FirstBank relationship. Payment Services in Puerto Rico also reflected the continued growth of ATH Movil Business, revenue generated from an acquisition completed in the second quarter and revenue generated from projects completed in connection with closing the Popular Transaction. These increases were partially offset by the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction, which impacted our Business Solutions segment by approximately $15 million, in addition to the $6.9 million one-time credit granted upon closing. Latin America revenue reflected organic growth from existing customers and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $239.0 million, or $3.45 per diluted share, an increase compared with $161.1 million or $2.21 per diluted share in the prior year and includes the impact of the $135.6 million gain recognized from the Popular Transaction. The results also reflect the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement of $7.6 million for assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars in our foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, cost of revenues increased mainly driven by the revenue sharing agreement with Popular, a $4.1 million impairment loss on a multi-year software development, an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to the increased headcount discussed above, printing supplies, provisions for operational losses and cloud services. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven by an increase in personnel costs and an increase in professional fees. Adjusted EBITDA. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $269.5 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 640 basis points to 43.6% compared with 50.0% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margin primarily reflect the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement and the increased expenses discussed above, as well as the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction which were of higher margin and the one-time credit granted to them upon closing in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $167.6 million, a decrease of 16% compared with $199.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $2.42, a decrease of 12% compared with $2.74 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate, which was partly impacted by the negative $7.6 million foreign currency remeasurement effect. Stock Repurchase During the quarter, the Company repurchased 741 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $32.47. For the full year 2022 the Company repurchased 2.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $34.37 per share for a total of $96.6 million. At December 31, 2022, the Company's share repurchase program has approximately $78 million remaining and authorized for future use. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchase programs, 10b5-1 plans, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to business opportunities and other factors. 2023 Outlook The Company's financial outlook for 2023 is as follows: Total consolidated revenue between $638 million and $647 million approximately 3.2% to 4.6% growth. Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.53 to $2.64 representing approximately 4.5% to 9.1% growth as compared to $2.42 in 2022. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $70 million. Effective tax rate of approximately 16% to 17%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information The non-GAAP measures referenced in this release material are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the industry. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the schedules to this release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share and are defined below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. In addition, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially 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. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted Net Income is used to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believe better reflects the Company's comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of merger and acquisition activity. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them. Further, the Company's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future operating results will not be affected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

EVERTEC Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results By: EVERTEC via Business Wire February 22, 2023 at 16:05 PM EST Announces 2023 Outlook EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec” or the “Company”) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights and Recent Highlights Revenue increased 4% to $161.8 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $28.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10% to $68.4 million Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.65, or a 10% decrease Completed the refinancing of credit facilities Full Year 2022 Highlights Revenue grew 5% to $618.4 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $239.0 million, or $3.45 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 9% to $269.5 million Adjusted earnings per common share was $2.42, or a 12% decrease $110 million returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends Closed the Popular Transaction which extended the main commercial agreements Closed two acquisitions, one in Puerto Rico and one in Latin America Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer stated "This was a successful year for us as we completed several milestones. We extended our main commercial agreements with our largest customer, executed on M&A with two acquisitions, refinanced our debt, aggressively repurchased stock and delivered another year of strong revenue growth. We continue to reap the benefits of the capital investments we have made over the years, both in our products and through acquisitions. Looking towards 2023, we continue to focused on finding the best ways to deploy capital to support our long-term growth strategy." Fourth Quarter 2022 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $161.8 million, an increase of 4%, compared with $155.2 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico reflected growth in our Merchant Acquiring and Payment Services segments as these benefited from increased transaction volumes and pricing initiatives implemented earlier in the year. Our Merchant Acquiring segment also benefited from a higher spread per transaction. ATH Movil Business continues to be a driver of growth in our Payment Services segment as was the acquisition completed in the second quarter. Latin America revenue continues to increase due to both organic growth and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $28.7 million, a decrease of $12.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $41.1 million or $0.56 per diluted share in the prior year. The year over year decrease reflects the impact of an increase in costs of revenues, primarily due to the new revenue sharing agreement with Banco Popular, as well as an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR acquisition, provisions for operational losses, printing supplies and cloud services, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to an increase in personnel costs and professional fees as well as higher donations. Additionally, the current quarter reflects a loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $0.8 million compared with a gain of $1.2 million in the prior year quarter and a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt resulting from the refinancing of the Company's credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $68.4 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) decreased approximately 660 basis points to 42.3% compared with 48.9% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margin reflects the impact of the increased expenses discussed, the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement and the impact from the sale of assets to Popular as part of the Popular Transaction which were of higher margin. Adjusted Net Income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $42.6 million, a decrease of 19% compared with $52.6 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.65, a decrease of 10% compared with $0.72 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate in the quarter. Full Year 2022 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $618.4 million, an increase of 5% compared with $589.8 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico increased in both the Merchant Acquiring and Payment Services segments, benefiting from increased transaction volumes as well as pricing initiatives implemented during the year. Merchant Acquiring revenue also benefited from two additional months in 2022 from the expanded FirstBank relationship. Payment Services in Puerto Rico also reflected the continued growth of ATH Movil Business, revenue generated from an acquisition completed in the second quarter and revenue generated from projects completed in connection with closing the Popular Transaction. These increases were partially offset by the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction, which impacted our Business Solutions segment by approximately $15 million, in addition to the $6.9 million one-time credit granted upon closing. Latin America revenue reflected organic growth from existing customers and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $239.0 million, or $3.45 per diluted share, an increase compared with $161.1 million or $2.21 per diluted share in the prior year and includes the impact of the $135.6 million gain recognized from the Popular Transaction. The results also reflect the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement of $7.6 million for assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars in our foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, cost of revenues increased mainly driven by the revenue sharing agreement with Popular, a $4.1 million impairment loss on a multi-year software development, an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to the increased headcount discussed above, printing supplies, provisions for operational losses and cloud services. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven by an increase in personnel costs and an increase in professional fees. Adjusted EBITDA. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $269.5 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 640 basis points to 43.6% compared with 50.0% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margin primarily reflect the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement and the increased expenses discussed above, as well as the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction which were of higher margin and the one-time credit granted to them upon closing in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $167.6 million, a decrease of 16% compared with $199.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $2.42, a decrease of 12% compared with $2.74 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate, which was partly impacted by the negative $7.6 million foreign currency remeasurement effect. Stock Repurchase During the quarter, the Company repurchased 741 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $32.47. For the full year 2022 the Company repurchased 2.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $34.37 per share for a total of $96.6 million. At December 31, 2022, the Company's share repurchase program has approximately $78 million remaining and authorized for future use. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchase programs, 10b5-1 plans, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to business opportunities and other factors. 2023 Outlook The Company's financial outlook for 2023 is as follows: Total consolidated revenue between $638 million and $647 million approximately 3.2% to 4.6% growth. Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.53 to $2.64 representing approximately 4.5% to 9.1% growth as compared to $2.42 in 2022. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $70 million. Effective tax rate of approximately 16% to 17%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information The non-GAAP measures referenced in this release material are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the industry. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the schedules to this release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share and are defined below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. In addition, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially 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. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted Net Income is used to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believe better reflects the Company's comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of merger and acquisition activity. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them. Further, the Company's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future operating results will not be affected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Risk Factors," in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about February 24, 2023, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless it is required to do so by law. Consideration should be given to the areas of risk described above, as well as those risks set forth under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the reports the Company files with the SEC from time to time, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company and its businesses generally.

EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“Evertec” or the “Company”) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights and Recent Highlights Revenue increased 4% to $161.8 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $28.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10% to $68.4 million Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.65, or a 10% decrease Completed the refinancing of credit facilities Full Year 2022 Highlights Revenue grew 5% to $618.4 million GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $239.0 million, or $3.45 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA decreased 9% to $269.5 million Adjusted earnings per common share was $2.42, or a 12% decrease $110 million returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends Closed the Popular Transaction which extended the main commercial agreements Closed two acquisitions, one in Puerto Rico and one in Latin America Mac Schuessler, President and Chief Executive Officer stated "This was a successful year for us as we completed several milestones. We extended our main commercial agreements with our largest customer, executed on M&A with two acquisitions, refinanced our debt, aggressively repurchased stock and delivered another year of strong revenue growth. We continue to reap the benefits of the capital investments we have made over the years, both in our products and through acquisitions. Looking towards 2023, we continue to focused on finding the best ways to deploy capital to support our long-term growth strategy." Fourth Quarter 2022 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $161.8 million, an increase of 4%, compared with $155.2 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico reflected growth in our Merchant Acquiring and Payment Services segments as these benefited from increased transaction volumes and pricing initiatives implemented earlier in the year. Our Merchant Acquiring segment also benefited from a higher spread per transaction. ATH Movil Business continues to be a driver of growth in our Payment Services segment as was the acquisition completed in the second quarter. Latin America revenue continues to increase due to both organic growth and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $28.7 million, a decrease of $12.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $41.1 million or $0.56 per diluted share in the prior year. The year over year decrease reflects the impact of an increase in costs of revenues, primarily due to the new revenue sharing agreement with Banco Popular, as well as an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to increased headcount in Latin America including the added headcount from the BBR acquisition, provisions for operational losses, printing supplies and cloud services, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to an increase in personnel costs and professional fees as well as higher donations. Additionally, the current quarter reflects a loss on foreign currency remeasurement of $0.8 million compared with a gain of $1.2 million in the prior year quarter and a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt resulting from the refinancing of the Company's credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $68.4 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) decreased approximately 660 basis points to 42.3% compared with 48.9% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margin reflects the impact of the increased expenses discussed, the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement and the impact from the sale of assets to Popular as part of the Popular Transaction which were of higher margin. Adjusted Net Income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $42.6 million, a decrease of 19% compared with $52.6 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.65, a decrease of 10% compared with $0.72 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate in the quarter. Full Year 2022 Results Revenue. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $618.4 million, an increase of 5% compared with $589.8 million in the prior year. Revenue in Puerto Rico increased in both the Merchant Acquiring and Payment Services segments, benefiting from increased transaction volumes as well as pricing initiatives implemented during the year. Merchant Acquiring revenue also benefited from two additional months in 2022 from the expanded FirstBank relationship. Payment Services in Puerto Rico also reflected the continued growth of ATH Movil Business, revenue generated from an acquisition completed in the second quarter and revenue generated from projects completed in connection with closing the Popular Transaction. These increases were partially offset by the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction, which impacted our Business Solutions segment by approximately $15 million, in addition to the $6.9 million one-time credit granted upon closing. Latin America revenue reflected organic growth from existing customers and the revenue contribution from the BBR acquisition. Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $239.0 million, or $3.45 per diluted share, an increase compared with $161.1 million or $2.21 per diluted share in the prior year and includes the impact of the $135.6 million gain recognized from the Popular Transaction. The results also reflect the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement of $7.6 million for assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars in our foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, cost of revenues increased mainly driven by the revenue sharing agreement with Popular, a $4.1 million impairment loss on a multi-year software development, an increase in personnel costs, mainly due to the increased headcount discussed above, printing supplies, provisions for operational losses and cloud services. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven by an increase in personnel costs and an increase in professional fees. Adjusted EBITDA. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $269.5 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 640 basis points to 43.6% compared with 50.0% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margin primarily reflect the negative impact from foreign currency remeasurement and the increased expenses discussed above, as well as the impact from the assets sold as part of the Popular Transaction which were of higher margin and the one-time credit granted to them upon closing in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $167.6 million, a decrease of 16% compared with $199.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per common share was $2.42, a decrease of 12% compared with $2.74 in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the lower Adjusted EBITDA and a higher adjusted tax rate, which was partly impacted by the negative $7.6 million foreign currency remeasurement effect. Stock Repurchase During the quarter, the Company repurchased 741 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $32.47. For the full year 2022 the Company repurchased 2.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $34.37 per share for a total of $96.6 million. At December 31, 2022, the Company's share repurchase program has approximately $78 million remaining and authorized for future use. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchase programs, 10b5-1 plans, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to business opportunities and other factors. 2023 Outlook The Company's financial outlook for 2023 is as follows: Total consolidated revenue between $638 million and $647 million approximately 3.2% to 4.6% growth. Adjusted earnings per common share between $2.53 to $2.64 representing approximately 4.5% to 9.1% growth as compared to $2.42 in 2022. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $70 million. Effective tax rate of approximately 16% to 17%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information The non-GAAP measures referenced in this release material are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as indicators of operating performance or as measures of the Company’s liquidity. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP measures to focus on the factors the Company believes are pertinent to the daily management of the Company’s operations and believes that they are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the industry. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the schedules to this release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share and are defined below. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA, as it relates to the Company's segments, is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. In addition, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially 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. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments. Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted Net Income is used to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believe better reflects the Company's comparable operating performance by excluding the impact of the non-cash amortization and depreciation that was created as a result of merger and acquisition activity. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses such as those excluded in calculating them. Further, the Company's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future operating results will not be affected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protection of, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of EVERTEC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements preceded by, followed by, or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” and “plans” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may,” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results are forward-looking statements, including expectations that the expanded revolving facility will provide the Company with greater flexibility to execute on its strategic imperatives with a continued focus on M&A. Various factors that could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those estimated by management include, but are not limited to: the Company’s reliance on its relationship with Popular, Inc. (“Popular”) for a significant portion of its revenues pursuant to the Company’s second amended and restated Master Services Agreement ("MSA") with them, and to grow the Company’s merchant acquiring business; the Company’s ability to renew its client contracts on terms favorable to the Company, including but not limited to the current term and any extension of the MSA with Popular; the Company’s dependence on its processing systems, technology infrastructure, security systems and fraudulent payment detection systems, as well as on the Company’s personnel and certain third parties with whom it does business, and the risks to the Company’s business if its systems are hacked or otherwise compromised; the Company’s ability to develop, install and adopt new software, technology and computing systems; a decreased client base due to consolidations and failures in the financial services industry; the credit risk of the Company’s merchant clients, for which it may also be liable; the continuing market position of the ATH network; a reduction in consumer confidence, whether as a result of a global economic downturn or otherwise, which leads to a decrease in consumer spending; the Company’s dependence on credit card associations, including any adverse changes in credit card association or network rules or fees; changes in the regulatory environment and changes in international, legal, tax, political, administrative or economic conditions; the geographical concentration of the Company’s business in Puerto Rico, including its business with the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities, which are facing severe political and fiscal challenges; additional adverse changes in the general economic conditions in Puerto Rico, whether as a result of the government’s debt crisis or otherwise, including the continued migration of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland, which could negatively affect the Company’s customer base, general consumer spending, the Company’s cost of operations and the Company’s ability to hire and retain qualified employees; operating an international business in Latin America and the Caribbean, in jurisdictions with potential political and economic instability; the impact of foreign exchange rates on operations; the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights against infringement and to defend itself against claims of infringement brought by third parties; the Company’s 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; the Company’s level of indebtedness and restrictions contained in the Company’s debt agreements, including the secured credit facilities, as well as debt that could be incurred in the future; the Company’s ability to prevent a cybersecurity attack or breach to its information security; the possibility that the Company could lose its preferential tax rate in Puerto Rico; the possibility of future catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes and other potential natural disasters affecting the Company’s main markets in Latin America and the Caribbean; and uncertainty related to the effect of the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate; the elimination of Popular's ownership of the Company's common stock; and the other factors set forth under "Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors," in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about February 24, 2023, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless it is required to do so by law. Consideration should be given to the areas of risk described above, as well as those risks set forth under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the reports the Company files with the SEC from time to time, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company and its businesses generally. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless the Company is required to do so by law.
