We continued to execute on our capital deployment plan, completing the acquisition of Nubity and Grandata as well as repurchasing our stock through the accelerated share repurchase program completed in 2024. Our focus for 2025 will be on optimizing margin, continuing to allocate capital thoughtfully and driving organic revenue growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $216.4 million, an increase of 11.2%, compared with $194.6 million in the prior year quarter as a result of organic growth across all of the Company's segments, the contribution from an additional month of Sinqia and the contribution from the Grandata and Nubity acquisitions. Merchant acquiring revenue benefited from an improvement in spread and sales volume growth and Payments Puerto Rico revenue continues to benefit from growth in transactions and ATH Movil. Revenue in Latin America reflected the contribution from acquisitions, continued organic growth across the region and incremental volumes from our GetNet Chile relationship which led to the recognition of a one-time incremental revenue in the quarter of $0.6 million. Business Solutions revenue increased as a result of projects completed throughout the year.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $40.1 million or $0.62 per diluted share, an increase of $28.6 million, compared with $11.5 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the prior year. The increase was driven by the increase in revenues, the impact from a $8.9 million net gain in the quarter related to the sale of tax credits, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower depreciation and amortization and the benefit from a lower effective tax rate. These variances are partially offset by an increase in cost of revenues resulting from the incremental expenses related to the acquisitions completed throughout the year, an increase in costs of sales mainly related to the projects completed in Business Solutions and higher interest expense as a result of the incremental debt raised to finance the Sinqia acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $88.6 million, an increase of $16.9 million when compared to the prior year quarter, driven by the increase in revenues and the contribution from the acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue) increased approximately 410 basis points to 40.9% compared with 36.8% in the prior year, as we drive incremental revenue and continue to focus on managing expenses.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted Net Income was $56.0 million, an increase of 37% compared with $40.8 million in the prior year, almost entirely related to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a lower adjusted effective tax rate. Adjusted earnings per common share was $0.87, an increase of 40% compared with $0.62 in the prior year driven by the factors explained for Adjusted Net Income and a lower share count as a result of repurchases completed in 2024.

Full Year 2024 Results

Revenue. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $845.5 million, an increase of 22% compared with $694.7 million in the prior year. This reflects contributions from acquisitions and organic growth across all segments. The Latin America segment experienced a full-year contribution from the Sinqia acquisition completed in Q4 2023, with additional contributions from the Grandata and Nubity acquisitions completed in Q4 2024, along with organic growth in the region. Merchant acquiring revenue saw improvements due to better spread and sales volume growth. Payments Puerto Rico revenue increased due to ongoing transaction volume growth and contributions from ATH Movil Business. Business Solutions revenue benefited from completed projects, mainly for Popular.

Net Income attributable to common shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2024, GAAP Net Income attributable to common shareholders was $112.6 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, an increase compared with $79.7 million or $1.21 per diluted share in the prior year, primarily driven by the higher revenues and the benefit from a lower effective tax rate. These were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization and interest expense. The prior year also included the negative impact from the loss on foreign currency swap related to the Sinqia acquisition. Cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses both increased primarily due to an increase in personnel costs driven by the added headcount from acquisitions. Interest expense increased from the prior year due to the same reason explained above for the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $340.2 million, an increase of 17% compared to the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects the contribution from the Sinqia acquisition and the increase in revenues discussed above, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues) decreased 180 basis points to 40.2% compared with 42.0% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin primarily reflects the addition of Sinqia, which contributes at a lower margin, as well as the impact of the $6.3 million adjustment for GetNet Chile in the prior year, compared with $2.4 million in the current year, which is 100% accretive to margin.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per common share. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Adjusted Net Income was $213.2 million, an increase of 15% compared with $185.5 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by the higher adjusted EBITDA and a decrease in Non-GAAP tax expense, partially offset by higher operating depreciation and amortization and higher cash interest expense, due to the incremental debt raised for the Sinqia acquisition. Adjusted earnings per common share were $3.28, an increase of 16.3% compared with $2.82 in the prior year. The increase was driven by the increase in Adjusted Net Income and a lower share count that reflects the impact from the share repurchases completed throughout the year.

Business Acquisition

On November 19, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Nubity. Nubity is a cloud services provider based in Mexico, specializing in AWS cloud infrastructure management, DevOps, and cloud-native application solutions for clients across Latin America. This transaction enhances our existing product offering and helps enable the Company to address our customer’s needs more fully. The Company plans on leveraging its existing client base in Puerto Rico and Latin America to accelerate the growth of this acquisition.

Stock Repurchase

For the full year 2024, the Company repurchased 2.4 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $34.90 for a total of $82.3 million. At December 31, 2024, the Company's share repurchase program had approximately $138 million remaining and authorized for future use through December 31, 2025. 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.

2025 Outlook

The Company's financial outlook for 2025 is as follows:

  • Total consolidated revenue between $889 million and $899 million representing approximately 5.1% to 6.3% growth compared with $845 million in 2024 on a GAAP basis, or approximately 5.5% to 6.7% on a constant currency basis
  • Adjusted earnings per common share between $3.34 to $3.45 representing approximately 1.8% to 5.2% growth as compared to $3.28 in 2024, or approximately 2.6% to 6.0% on a constant currency basis
  • Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $85 million
  • Effective tax rate of approximately 6% to 7%

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The non-GAAP measures referenced in this earnings release 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 stakeholders to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of this earnings release. These non-GAAP measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per common share, each as defined below.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and unusual expenses such as: share-based compensation, restructuring related expenses, fees and expenses from corporate transactions such as M&A activity and financing, equity investment income net of dividends received, and the impact from unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurement for assets and liabilities in non-functional currency. 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. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with the equivalent measurements that are contained in the secured credit facilities in testing EVERTEC Group’s compliance with covenants therein such as the secured leverage ratio.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less: operating depreciation and amortization expense, defined as GAAP Depreciation and amortization less amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions such as customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, among others; cash interest expense defined as GAAP interest expense, less GAAP interest income adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of debt issue costs, premium and accretion of discount; income tax expense which is calculated on adjusted pre-tax income using the applicable GAAP tax rate, adjusted for uncertain tax position releases, tax true-ups, windfall from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement, among others; and non-controlling interests, net of amortization for intangibles created as part of the purchase.

Adjusted Earnings per common share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding.

The Company uses Adjusted Net Income to measure the Company's overall profitability because the Company believes it better reflects the 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.

(“Sinqia”) successfully into the Company or to achieve expected accretion to our earnings per common share; any loss of personnel or customers in connection with the acquisition of Sinqia; any possibility of future catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes and other potential natural disasters affecting our main markets in Latin America, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean; 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, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 29, 2024, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, to be filed 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.
