TransUnion Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results

TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Total revenue was $498 million, an increase of 14 percent (13 percent on a constant currency basis) compared with the third quarter of 2016. Acquisitions accounted for a 1 percent increase in revenue. Net income attributable to TransUnion was $69 million compared with $41 million in the third quarter of 2016. Diluted earnings per share was $0.36 compared with $0.22 in the third quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA was $194 million, an increase of 17 percent (16 percent on a constant currency basis) compared with the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 39.0 percent, an increase of 90 basis points compared with the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share was $0.49, an increase of 30 percent compared with the third quarter of 2016.

“In the third quarter, TransUnion delivered double-digit revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS growth and expanded Adjusted EBITDA margin,” said Jim Peck, TransUnion’s president and chief executive officer. “We continue to realize growth across our portfolio, as each of our three segments grew revenue and Adjusted Operating Income by double digits. We continue to realize strong growth from our innovation, new verticals like Healthcare, and international markets, augmented by successful strategic acquisitions.

“In fact, over the past several months, we completed two strategic acquisitions that will help fuel our long-term growth. In August, we acquired Datalink Services, which enables our Insurance vertical to sell motor vehicle reports along with our other comprehensive underwriting solutions for auto insurers. In October, we announced the acquisition of eBureau, providing us with best-in-market rapid model development and deployment that can be utilized broadly across the organization including our fraud, collections and financial services businesses.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $253 million at September 30, 2017 and $182 million at December 31, 2016. Total debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, remained relatively flat at $2.4 billion at September 30, 2017 compared with December 31, 2016.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities increased to $349 million compared with $276 million for the same period in 2016 due primarily to the increase in operating performance. Cash used in investing activities was $149 million compared with $442 million for the same period in 2016 due primarily to a decrease in cash used for acquisitions and an increase in proceeds from the sale of investments. Capital expenditures were $91 million compared with $86 million for the same period in 2016. Cash used in financing activities was $129 million compared with a source of cash of $168 million for the same period in 2016. The change was primarily due to lower borrowings and the purchase of treasury stock in 2017 compared with the same period in 2016.

On August 9, 2017, we amended and extended our credit agreement. Key terms of the amendment include:

  • Pricing on our term B loans, which total $2 billion, was reduced by 50 basis points to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00%. The maturity date remained April 2023.
  • Our term A loans were refinanced and increased by $33 million to $400 million. The maturity date was extended from June 2020 to August 2022. Pricing was reduced by 50 basis points to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, depending on our net leverage ratio.
  • The commitment on our revolving credit facility was increased by $90 million to $300 million. The maturity date was extended from June 2020 to August 2022. Pricing was reduced by 50 basis points to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, depending on our net leverage ratio.

2017 Full Year Outlook

For the full year of 2017, we are raising our revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share guidance as follows. Consolidated revenue is expected to be between $1.910 billion and $1.915 billion, an increase of 11 to 12 percent on a constant currency basis. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $741 million and $743 million, an increase of 16 to 17 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is expected to be between $1.85 and $1.86, an increase of 23 percent.

Consistent with our previous full year guidance, the full year revenue guidance includes approximately 1 percent growth from acquisitions, with no significant impact on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from foreign exchange rates. Our guidance excludes the impact of any incremental revenue from Equifax related to credit monitoring that they are providing to consumers.

2017 Fourth Quarter Outlook

The full year 2017 guidance above equates to fourth quarter 2017 guidance as follows. Consolidated revenue is expected to be between $482 million and $487 million, an increase of 10 to 11 percent on a constant currency basis compared with the fourth quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $189 million and $191 million, an increase of 12 to 13 percent. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is expected to be between $0.47 and $0.48, an increase of 7 to 9 percent.

The fourth quarter revenue guidance includes approximately 2 percent growth from acquisitions, with no significant impact on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from foreign exchange rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release presents certain growth rates on Schedule 1 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 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 EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to TransUnion plus net interest expense, plus (less) provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers and acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization expenses, plus technology transformation expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income). Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income plus stock-based compensation, plus mergers and acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization expenses, plus technology transformation 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 stock-based compensation, plus mergers and acquisitions, divestitures and business optimization expenses, plus technology transformation expenses, plus (less) certain other expenses (income), plus amortization of certain intangible assets, plus or minus changes in provision for income taxes. Adjusted Earnings per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted-average shares outstanding.
