ACI Worldwide, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2020

Feb. 25, 2021

NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2021--ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of real-time digital payment software and solutions, announced financial results today for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.

"The continued execution of our three-pillar strategic plan is enabling ACI to be fit-for-growth, more agile and customer-centric," said Odilon Almeida, president and CEO of ACI Worldwide. "With our strong fourth quarter performance and our continued momentum, I am confident that 2021 will be an important milestone year for ACI. We expect to achieve, for the first time ever, the rule of 40. As a part of our three-pillar strategic plan, we will also undertake a thorough strategic review of our business portfolio to enhance ACI's growth profile and maximize long-term value to our shareholders."

FULL YEAR 2020 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Full year 2020 total bookings were $1.495 billion, up 21% from 2019, while new bookings were $737 million, up 36% from 2019. New bookings in our On Demand business more than doubled over last year, while new bookings in our On Premise license software business declined due to COVID-related delays in purchasing decisions by our bank customers.

Full year 2020 revenue was $1.29 billion, up 3% from $1.26 billion in 2019. Total recurring revenue was $981 million, up 10% from $891 million in 2019.

Net income in 2020 was $73 million, up 8% from $67 million in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA in 2020 was $359 million, up 17% from $308 million in 2019. Net adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 37% from 33% in 2019 due primarily to cost reduction initiatives, as well as the Speedpay acquisition. Net adjusted EBITDA and On Demand segment margins are adjusted for pass through interchange revenue of $334 million and $322 million, for 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In 2020, revenue from ACI's On Demand segment was $769 million, up 13% from $679 million in 2019 driven by the Speedpay acquisition. On Demand segment net adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 34% from 19% in 2019.

ACI's On Premise segment revenue was $525 million, down 9% from $579 million in 2019 primarily as a result of lower non-recurring license revenue. On Premise segment adjusted EBITDA margin was 55%, flat with 2019.

ACI ended 2020 with a 12-month backlog of $1.3 billion and a 60-month backlog of $6 billion. After adjusting for foreign currency fluctuations, our 12-month backlog increased $148 million and our 60-month backlog increased $157 million from year end 2019. Cash flow from operating activities in 2020 was $336 million, up 144% compared to 2019. ACI ended 2020 with $165 million in cash on hand and a debt balance of $1.2 billion. During the year, the company paid down $223 million of debt and repurchased one million shares for $29 million. The Company has $112 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization.

2021 GUIDANCE

We expect COVID-19-related headwinds to persist through the first half of 2021 and for growth to accelerate to the mid-single digits in the second half of the year. For the full year 2021, we expect adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $375 million to $385 million with net adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. This excludes one-time charges to implement cost reduction initiatives as communicated at the company's Analyst Day in November 2020. We expect revenue to be between $270 million and $280 million and adjusted EBITDA of $25 million to $35 million in Q1 2021.

Other parties' trademarks referenced are the property of their respective owners.

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the tables, which exclude significant transaction-related expenses, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way to view aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Certain non-GAAP measures include:

* Adjusted EBITDA: net income plus income tax expense, net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, as well as significant transaction-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income.

* Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue net of pass through interchange revenue. Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income.

* Diluted EPS adjusted for non-cash and significant transaction related items: diluted EPS plus tax effected significant transaction related items, amortization of acquired intangibles and software, non-cash stock-based compensation, and discreet income tax times. Diluted EPS adjusted for non-cash and significant transaction related items should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, diluted EPS.

ACI also includes backlog estimates, which includes all SaaS and PaaS, license, maintenance, and services revenue specified in executed contracts that will be recognized in future periods, as well as revenue from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. We have historically included assumed renewals in backlog estimates based upon automatic renewal provisions in the executed contract and our historic experience with customer renewal rates.

Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Our 60-month backlog estimates are derived using the following key assumptions:

* License arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term or under the renewal option stated in the contract at a rate consistent with historical experience. If the license arrangement includes extended payment terms, the renewal estimate is adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component.

* Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term.

* SaaS and PaaS arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences.

* Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

* Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period.

Estimates of future financial results require substantial judgment and are based on several assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong for reasons outside of management's control. For example, our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for many reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions (e.g. economic declines resulting from COVID-19) in the customer's industry or geographic location. We may also experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts, which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that amounts included in backlog estimates will generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 60-month period. Additionally, because certain components of Committed Backlog and all of Renewal Backlog estimates are operating metrics, the estimates are not required to be subject to the same level of internal review or controls as a contracted but not recognized Committed Backlog.

Backlog estimates should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and contracted but not recognized revenue (including deferred revenue).

For a detailed discussion of these risk factors, parties that are relying on the forward-looking statements should review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
