Deluxe Reports Strong Second Quarter 2021 Results; Declares Regular Dividend; Expands 2021 Outlook to Include First American Payment Systems

  • Second quarter saw 16.5% revenue growth; 9.9% excluding contribution from First American
  • Solid growth in all four business segments
  • Significant revenue realized from cross-selling into First American; demonstrates power of One Deluxe model
  • Improved cash balance and liquidity even with historic acquisition of First American acquisition during the period
  • Declared regular quarterly dividend

Deluxe (NYSE: DLX), a Trusted Payments and Business Technology™ company, today reported operating results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

“We are now clearly a payments company delivering sales-driven growth. Our robust second quarter results further validate the strength of our team, strategy and execution,” said Barry McCarthy, President and CEO of Deluxe. “Our sales engine is delivering, and the strategic acquisition of First American has nearly doubled the size of our Payments business and accelerated our growth. During the quarter, the company as a whole benefited from the economic recovery, and new wins helped propel growth in all four segments – Payments, Cloud Solutions, Promotional Solutions and Checks. Additionally, data driven marketing, part of our Cloud segment, benefited from our customers’ acceleration of future planned marketing spend."

McCarthy continued, “While we had anticipated that acquiring First American would provide numerous cross-sell and growth opportunities, the actual results have exceeded our initial forecast. The Deluxe halo of customer trust, sales reach and financial strength helped First American generate double-digit revenue growth in the second quarter, well above its historical average. Within days of closing, First American had dozens of new, Deluxe-sourced leads, and closed several new deals while continuing to expand our pipeline.”

“The execution of our growth strategy, combined with a favorable macroeconomic environment, led to our improved performance,” said Scott Bomar, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Deluxe. “With 16.5% revenue growth, and 9.9% revenue growth excluding First American, we are clearly seeing positive momentum in our business.”

  • Revenue was $67.8 million higher than the previous year. All four segments experienced year-over-year revenue growth. Not including the First American acquisition, which closed on June 1, 2021, revenue increased $40.5 million, or 9.9 percent year-over-year.
  • The Payments segment delivered revenue growth of 43.1 percent over the previous year, $27.3 million of which was from First American.
  • Net income of $12.1 million includes $15.9 million of costs related to the First American acquisition during the quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin remained healthy at 20.4 percent due to strong margin expansion in Cloud and Promotional Solutions, and as management continues to drive efficiencies within the post COVID-19 operating cost structure.
  • Cash flow from operations for the first half of 2021 was $83.8 million and capital expenditures were $46.6 million. Free cash flow, defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, was $37.2 million, a decrease of $45.4 million as compared to 2020, largely attributable to capital investments this year and costs related to the First American transaction.
  • Total debt outstanding was $1,833.4 million as of June 30, 2021, reflecting the debt issued during the quarter to complete the acquisition of First American. Net debt was $1,670.1 million and liquidity was $455.8 million as of June 30, 2021.

2021 Outlook

Based on our year-to-date results, and including the impact of the First American acquisition, the company now expects the following for full year 2021:

  • Revenue growth of 10 to 12%
  • Excluding First American, revenue growth of 0 to 2% and exiting the year with growth in the mid-single digits
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin between 20 and 21% with the fourth quarter stronger than the third
  • Capital expenditures of $95 to $105 million
  • Adjusted tax rate of approximately 25%

The guidance outlined above assumes a continued economic recovery and is subject to, among other things, the macroeconomic unknowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Delta variant, as well as potential supply chain constraints, labor supply issues, and inflation.

Capital Allocation and Dividend

The Board of Directors recently approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share. The dividend will be payable on September 7, 2021 to shareholders of record as of market closing on August 23, 2021.

DELUXE CORPORATION

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES

(in millions)

(Unaudited)

Note that the company has not reconciled the adjusted EBITDA or adjusted effective income tax rate outlook for full year 2021 to the directly comparable GAAP financial measures because the company does not provide outlook guidance for net income or pretax income or the reconciling items between these GAAP measures and adjusted EBITDA. Because of the substantial uncertainty and variability surrounding certain of these forward-looking reconciling items, including asset impairment charges, restructuring, integration and other costs, and certain legal-related expenses, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlook guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort. The probable significance of certain of these reconciling items is high and, based on historical experience, could be material.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

Management discloses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they are useful in evaluating the company's operating performance, as the calculations eliminate the effect of interest expense, income taxes, the accounting effects of capital investments (i.e., depreciation and amortization) and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, certain items, as presented below, that may not be indicative of current period operating performance. In addition, management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating results and performance of the business, to perform analytical comparisons and to identify strategies to improve performance. Management also believes that an increasing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA depict an increase in the value of the company. Management does not consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be measures of cash flow, as they do not consider certain cash requirements, such as interest, income taxes, debt service payments or capital investments. Management does not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA to be substitutes for operating income or net income. Instead, management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful performance measures that should be considered in addition to GAAP performance measures.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES (continued)

(Unaudited)

ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS

By excluding the impact of non-cash items or items that may not be indicative of current period operating performance, management believes that Adjusted Diluted EPS provides useful comparable information to assist in analyzing the company's current and future operating performance. As such, Adjusted Diluted EPS is one of the key financial performance metrics used to assess the operating results and performance of the business and to identify strategies to improve performance. It is reasonable to expect that one or more of the excluded items will occur in future periods, but the amounts recognized may vary significantly. Management does not consider Adjusted Diluted EPS to be a substitute for GAAP performance measures, but believes that it is a useful performance measure that should be considered in addition to GAAP performance measures.

The tax effect of the pretax adjustments considers the tax treatment and related tax rate(s) that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction(s). Generally, this results in a tax impact that approximates the U.S. effective tax rate for each adjustment. However, the tax impact of certain adjustments, such as asset impairment charges and share-based compensation expense, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and the applicable effective tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions.

   

 

(3)

 

 

The adjustment to total weighted-average dilutive shares for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is due to the net loss reported for the period. The GAAP EPS calculation for this period excluded a higher number of share-based compensation awards because their effect was antidilutive.

   

REVENUE EXCLUDING FIRST AMERICAN

Because of the magnitude of the First American acquisition, management views the measure of revenue growth, excluding the First American acquisition, as an important indicator when assessing and evaluating the performance of the business and when identifying strategies to improve performance. This measure of revenue growth may be expressed as a dollar amount or as a percentage rate. By excluding the First American revenue, management is able to evaluate internally-generated revenue, measured by comparable sales of products and services year-over-year. This measure will be utilized by management until the acquisition has been under the Company's ownership for at least four full fiscal quarters at the beginning of a reporting period.

NET DEBT

Management believes that net debt is an important measure to monitor leverage and to evaluate the balance sheet. In calculating net debt, cash and cash equivalents are subtracted from total debt because they could be used to reduce the company’s debt obligations. A limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash and cash equivalents, and therefore, may imply that management intends to use cash and cash equivalents to reduce outstanding debt. In addition, net debt suggests that our debt obligations are less than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates.

FREE CASH FLOW

Management defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of capital assets. Management believes that free cash flow is an important indicator of cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments to maintain or expand the company’s asset base. Free cash flow is limited and not all of the company’s free cash flow is available for discretionary spending, as the company may have mandatory debt payments and other cash requirements that must be deducted from its cash available for future use. Free cash flow is not a substitute for GAAP liquidity measures. Instead, management believes that this measurement provides an additional metric to compare cash generated by operations on a consistent basis and to provide insight into the cash flow available to fund items such as dividends, mandatory and discretionary debt reduction, acquisitions or other strategic investments, and share repurchases.

LIQUIDITY

Management defines liquidity as cash and cash equivalents plus the amount available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. Management considers liquidity to be an important metric for demonstrating the amount of cash that is available or that could be readily available to the company on short notice. This financial measure is not a substitute for GAAP liquidity measures. Instead, management believes that this measurement enhances investors’ understanding of the funds that are currently available to the company.
