TransUnion Announces Strong Second Quarter 2018 Results


CHICAGO, July 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Total revenue was $563 million, an increase of 19 percent on an as reported and constant currency basis, compared with the second quarter of 2017. Acquisitions accounted for a 5 percent increase in revenue. Net income attributable to TransUnion was $55 million, compared with $65 million in the second quarter of 2017. Diluted earnings per share was $0.29, compared with $0.34 in the second quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA was $221 million, an increase of 19 percent on an as reported and constant currency basis compared with the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 39.2 percent, the same as the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share was $0.62, an increase of 34 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017.

“TransUnion delivered another strong quarter with double-digit revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS growth,” said Jim Peck, President and CEO. “The growth continues to be broad based across our segments and is driven by our successful innovation, unique vertical positions and attractive international businesses.”

“During the quarter, we closed three strategically significant acquisitions in Callcredit, iovation and Healthcare Payment Specialists. Each of these acquisitions provides TransUnion with highly valuable data, capabilities and market scope that will contribute to the continuation of our strong growth track record. As we look ahead, we expect to deliver a strong second half and believe we are well positioned for 2019 and beyond.”

Consumer Interactive

Consumer Interactive revenue was $118 million, an increase of 12 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017. Revenue in the second quarter of 2018 included approximately $5 million of incremental credit monitoring revenue due to a breach at a competitor.

Operating income was $54 million, an increase of 9 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted Operating Income was $56 million, an increase of 10 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $192 million at June 30, 2018 and $116 million at December 31, 2017. Total debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, was $4.2 billion at June 30, 2018, compared with $2.5 billion at  December 31, 2017. The increase was due to the funding of our Callcredit, iovation and HPS acquisitions, which closed in the second quarter of 2018.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash provided by continuing operations increased to $231 million compared with $172 million in 2017, due primarily to the increase in operating performance. Cash used in investing activities was $1,882 million compared with $104.5 million in 2017, due primarily to the significant increase in cash used to fund acquisitions. Capital expenditures were $70 million compared with $58 million in 2017. Cash from financing activities was $1,732 million compared with a use of cash of $108 million in 2017. The increase in cash from financing activities was due primarily to cash borrowed to fund our acquisitions and the treasury stock we purchased in 2017, offset by the dividend paid in May.

2018 Full Year Outlook

For the full year of 2018, we are raising our Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share guidance as follows. Adjusted Revenue is expected to be between $2.333 billion and $2.343 billion, an increase of 21 percent compared with 2017. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $904 million and $910 million, an increase of 21 to 22 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is expected to be between $2.42 and $2.44, an increase of 29 to 30 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share includes a benefit of approximately $0.28 due to the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share guidance also includes an approximate $(0.02) headwind from unfavorable foreign exchange rates and an approximate $(0.01) per share headwind from the impact of higher LIBOR rates on the debt existing prior to the incremental financing activities completed in June 2018.

The Adjusted Revenue guidance includes approximately 9 points growth from acquisitions that closed in the prior year and in the second quarter of 2018, as well as approximately 50 basis points of drag on Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from foreign exchange rates. Our guidance also includes approximately $15 million of incremental monitoring revenue due to a breach at a competitor, compared with $4 million in 2017. The expected increase in this incremental revenue represents 0.5 percent of the total growth.

2018 Third Quarter Outlook

For the third quarter of 2018, Adjusted Revenue is expected to be between $610 million and $615 million, an increase of 23 to 24 percent compared with the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $237 million and $240 million, an increase of 22 to 24 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is expected to be between $0.61 and $0.62, an increase of 24 to 26 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share includes a benefit of approximately $0.07 due to the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The third quarter Adjusted Revenue guidance includes approximately 15 points of growth from acquisitions that closed in the prior year and in the second quarter of 2018. Foreign exchange rates are driving approximately 150 basis points drag on Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Guidance includes $5 million of incremental monitoring revenue due to a breach at a competitor.

Given the size of the Callcredit acquisition, beginning in the 3rd quarter 2018, we will adjust our Non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share to add back costs incurred relating to our integration of Callcredit. We expect to add these costs back to these Non-GAAP performance measures for approximately two years. Additionally, we will disclose the Non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Revenue beginning in the 3rd quarter 2018. Adjusted Revenue is intended to reflect what revenue would have been had we not reduced the amount of deferred revenue on the opening balance sheets for recently acquired businesses as a result of applying business combination fair value accounting principles. We expect deferred revenue adjustments for acquisitions that closed in the 2nd quarter of 2018 to primarily last for approximately one year, with the remainder to last up to two years. We believe the best period-over-period comparison of revenue over the next one to two years as we run off this impact will be Adjusted Revenue compared with GAAP revenue, in periods prior to and after this runoff is complete. Further, revenue from certain non-core customer contracts of Callcredit that are not classified as discontinued operations and that are expected to expire within one year will be excluded from Adjusted Revenue. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below and Schedule 7 for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release presents constant currency growth rates on Schedule 1 and in our 2018 full year and Third Quarter Outlook sections assuming foreign currency exchange rates are consistent between years. This allows financial results to be evaluated without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. This earnings release also presents Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, segment Adjusted Operating Income, segment Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share. These are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. We present these financial measures as supplemental measures of our operating performance because we believe they provide meaningful information regarding our performance and provide a basis to compare operating results between periods. We present Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income as supplemental measures of our operating performance because these measures eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. Also, Adjusted EBITDA is a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours. In addition, our board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA as a compensation measure. Furthermore, under the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facility, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to a ratio based on Adjusted EBITDA. These financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures and are not presented as alternative measures of GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define or calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, including operating income, operating margin, effective tax rate, net income (loss) attributable to the Company, earnings per share or cash provided by operating activities. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached Schedules.

Adjusted Revenue is defined as GAAP revenue adjusted for certain acquisition-related deferred revenue and non-core contract-related revenue adjustments as further discussed in footnote 1 of the attached Schedule 7. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion plus (less) loss (income) from discontinued operations, plus net interest expense, plus (less) provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, plus (less) the revenue adjustments included in Adjusted Revenue, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions,  divestitures and business optimization-related expenses including Callcredit integration-related expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income). Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income plus (less) the revenue adjustments included in Adjusted Revenue, plus stock-based compensation, plus certain mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization-related  expenses including Callcredit integration-related expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income), plus amortization of certain intangible assets. Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is defined as Adjusted Provision for Income Taxes divided by Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion plus (less) loss (gain) from discontinued operations, plus (less) the revenue adjustments included in Adjusted Revenue, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization-related expenses including Callcredit integration-related expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income), plus amortization of certain intangible assets, plus or minus the related changes in provision for income taxes, less any one-time tax provision benefits from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. The above definitions apply to our calculations for the historical periods shown on Schedules 1 through 6, and for the periods covered by our guidance as shown in Schedule 7, although we have not included any revenue-related or Callcredit integration-related expense adjustments in our historical non-GAAP financial measures included herein.

As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the table above.

(1) This adjustment represents certain non-cash adjustments related to acquired entities, predominantly adjustments to increase revenue resulting from purchase accounting reductions to deferred revenue we record on the opening balance sheets of acquired entities. Deferred revenue results when a company receives payment in advance of fulfilling their performance obligations under contracts. Business combination accounting rules require us to record deferred revenue of acquired entities at fair value if we are obligated to perform any future services under these contracts. The fair value of this deferred revenue is determined based on the direct and indirect incremental costs of fulfilling our performance obligations under these contracts, plus a normal profit margin. Generally, this fair value calculation results in a reduction to the purchased deferred revenue balance. The above adjustment includes an estimate for the increase in revenue equal to the difference between what the acquired entities would have recorded as revenue and the lower revenue we record as a result of the reduced deferred revenue balance. This increase is partially offset by an estimated decrease to revenue for certain acquired non-core customer contracts that are not classified as discontinued operations that will expire within approximately one year. The estimated adjustments to revenue are subject to change as we finalize the fair value assessments of the deferred revenue acquired with recent acquisitions and as we complete our assessment of the non-core customer contracts.

(2) This adjustment includes the same adjustments we make to our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income as discussed in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of our earnings release, which includes the Callcredit integration-related costs.
