MONTREAL, Aug. 9, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - (TSX: AIM) Aimia today reported
its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. All
financial information is in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
"I'm extremely pleased with our performance in the quarter" said Rupert
Duchesne, Group Chief Executive. "Our Canadian business posted another
strong quarter while EMEA achieved its fourth consecutive quarter of
double digit top line growth, reflecting solid results from Nectar UK
as it continues to benefit from the growth in its partner base over the
past couple of years. The strong performance posted by our European
operations was achieved despite the ongoing challenges of a very
difficult economic environment. Based on the strength of our first half
performance we are confirming our guidance for the year."
Second Quarter Highlights (Period ended June 30, 2012 versus period
ended June 30, 2011)
Consolidated - A Strong Quarter
Second quarter Gross Billings of $554.3 million, an increase of 2.2 per cent or 1.7 per cent on a constant currency basis
Adjusted EBITDA of $102.0 million in the quarter, an increase of 32.7 per cent
Record Adjusted EBITDA mainly due to significant margin expansion
Canada - Operating Leverage Drives Performance
Second quarter Gross Billings of $332.0 million compared with $324.1 million in the same period of 2011, an increase of 2.4 per cent
Gross Billings rose in the second quarter driven by an increase in
financial partner activity partially offset by a decrease in airline
partner activity including a reduction in accumulation at Air Canada
Adjusted EBITDA of $106.4 million in the second quarter, an increase of 21.8 per cent compared to the prior year period
Aeroplan Miles issued increased by 4.4 per cent in the quarter due to increased promotional activity, while total
Aeroplan Miles redeemed decreased 0.6 per cent in the quarter compared to the same period in 2011
Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) - Fourth Consecutive Quarter of
Double Digit Gross Billings Growth - Strong Momentum Continues
Second quarter Gross Billings of $157.6 million, an increase of 14.4 per cent or 13.7 per cent on a constant currency basis
Adjusted EBITDA of $12.3 million in the quarter, an increase of $10.2 million
Nectar Points issued in the second quarter increased by 13.4 per cent compared to the same period in 2011, driven by strong underlying growth
at Sainsbury's, British Gas, and Homebase, and new contract terms with
the program's main sponsor
Redemption activity for the Nectar Program increased by 14.2 per cent in the quarter mainly driven by an increase in the number of Nectar
Points in circulation
In the second quarter, Nectar Italia Points issued remained relatively
constant year-over-year, while Nectar Italia points redeemed increased
significantly consistent with members having increased availability of
points in their accounts due to the program's growth
Gross Billings for Intelligent Shopper Solutions (ISS) increased by 14.0
per cent driven by increased activity related to the international
expansion of its services
US & Asia Pacific - Stabilized - US Environment Continues to be
Challenging
Second quarter Gross Billings of $65.6 million, a decrease of 19.0 per cent or 21.2 per cent on a constant currency basis compared to the same period 2011. Excluding the impact of the Qantas
exit, Gross Billings were down 5.0 per cent or 7.7 per cent on a constant currency basis
Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $(0.5) million, virtually unchanged
The US continues to be a challenging environment, however, the region is
making good strides in terms of stabilizing, repositioning and focusing
on higher value-add strategic loyalty services
Club Premier - Update
Club Premier continues to perform exceptionally well. It generated Gross
Billings of more than US$36 million this quarter, an increase of 26 per
cent over last year. Adjusted EBITDA margins remain in excess of 30 per
cent. Year-over-year, the number of members and commercial partners has
increased by 10 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively. Aimia and
Aeromexico have initiated discussions with the intent of Aimia
increasing its equity participation in PLM.�� While there can be no
assurances that an agreement will be reached, the parties will seek to
reach an agreement by the end of 2012.
Cash Flow and Financial Position
At June 30, 2012, Aimia had $200.3 million of cash and cash equivalents,
$21.5 million of restricted cash, $73.1 million of short-term
investments and $283.9 million of long-term investments in bonds, for a
total of $578.8 million.
Aimia's Free Cash Flow (before dividends paid) was $74.2 million for the
second quarter of 2012 compared to $81.5 million for the second quarter
of 2011. Free Cash Flow in the quarter decreased year over year
primarily due to timing of changes in net operating assets, higher cash
taxes and higher capital expenditures.
Dividends Declared
Common Shares
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per common
share, payable on September 28, 2012 to shareholders of record at the
close of business on September 14, 2012.
Preferred Shares
The Board also declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.40625
per Cumulative Rate Reset Preferred Share, Series 1, payable on
September 28, 2012 to the holders of record at the close of business on
September 14, 2012.
Dividends paid by Aimia to Canadian residents on both its common and
preferred shares are "eligible dividends" for Canadian income tax
purposes.
2012 Outlook
While it is likely that the higher than forecasted Gross Billings growth
rate experienced in the first half of the year in the EMEA region will
slow in the second half, EMEA is on track for a strong year and is
compensating for some top line softness in the Canada and US & APAC
business segments. As a result, we are reiterating our 2012 annual
guidance provided in the February 22, 2012 earnings press release.
Guidance (as provided February 22, 2012)
For the year ending December 31, 2012, Aimia expects to report the
following:
�� | �� |
Key Financial Metric | Target Range |
Consolidated Outlook | �� |
Gross Billings Growth 1 | Between 3% and 5% |
Adjusted EBITDA2 | Between $370 and $380 million |
Free Cash Flow 2,3�� | Between $220 million and $240 million |
Capital Expenditures | To approximate $55 million |
Income Taxes | Current income tax rate is anticipated to approximate 27% in Canada and 17% in Italy. The Corporation expects no significant cash income taxes will be incurred in the rest of its foreign operations. |
Business Segment Gross Billings Growth Outlook | �� |
Canada | Between 2% and 4% |
EMEA | Between 8% and 11% |
US & APAC1 | Between -2% and 2% |
Other | |
Nectar Italia | Greater than ���60 million in Gross Billings |
1 | The Gross Billings growth guidance excludes the effect of a client loss (Qantas) in APAC at the end of the first quarter of 2012. The target growth ranges are based on 2011 reported Gross Billings, excluding $40 million related to Qantas. The client loss will have a negligible impact on Adjusted EBITDA. |
2 | The Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow outlook range includes an assumption of planned incremental operating expenses in business development activities, principally in the U.S., India and Brazil, technology platform related expenditures that are operating in nature and additional brand related expenses associated with our new branding, which in total will approximate $20 million in 2012. |
3 | Free Cash Flow before dividends. |
The above guidance excludes the effects of fluctuations in currency
exchange rates. In addition, Aimia made a number of economic and market
assumptions in preparing its 2012 forecasts, including assumptions
regarding the performance of the economies in which the Corporation
operates and market competition and tax laws applicable to the
Corporation's operations. The Corporation cautions that the assumptions
used to prepare the above forecasts for 2012, although reasonable at
the time they were made, may prove to be incorrect or inaccurate.
Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our
expectations as set forth in this news release. The outlook provided
constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable
securities laws and should be read in conjunction with the "Caution
Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" section.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In order to provide a better understanding of the results, the following
indicators are used:
Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
EBITDA adjusted for certain factors particular to the business, such as
changes in deferred revenue and Future Redemption Costs ("Adjusted
EBITDA"), is used by management to evaluate performance, and to measure
compliance with debt covenants. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA
assists investors in comparing the Corporation's performance on a
consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which
are non-cash in nature and can vary significantly depending on
accounting methods and non-operating factors such as historical cost.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement based on GAAP, is not considered an
alternative to operating income or net income in measuring performance,
and is not comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. For a
reconciliation to GAAP, please refer to the Summary of Consolidated
Operating Results and Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Net Earnings and Free Cash Flow included in the attached schedule. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as
an exclusive measure of cash flow because it does not account for the
impact of working capital growth, capital expenditures, debt repayments
and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the
statements of cash flows.
Adjusted Net Earnings
Adjusted Net Earnings provides a measurement of profitability calculated
on a basis consistent with Adjusted EBITDA. Net earnings attributable
to equity holders of the Corporation are adjusted to exclude
Amortization of Accumulation Partners' contracts, customer
relationships and technology, share of net earnings (loss) of PLM and
impairment charges. Adjusted Net Earnings includes the Change in
deferred revenue and Change in Future Redemption Costs, net of the
income tax effect and non controlling interest effect (where
applicable) on these items at an entity level basis.
Adjusted Net Earnings is not a measurement based on GAAP, is not
considered an alternative to net earnings in measuring profitability,
and is not comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. For a
reconciliation to GAAP, please refer to the Summary of Consolidated
Operating Results and Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Net Earnings and Free Cash Flow included in the attached
schedule.
Standardized Free Cash Flow ("Free Cash Flow")
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure recommended by the CICA in order to
provide a consistent and comparable measurement of free cash flow
across entities of cash generated from operations and is used as an
indicator of financial strength and performance.
Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities, as
reported in accordance with GAAP, less adjustments for:
�� | (a) | total capital expenditures as reported in accordance with GAAP; and |
�� | �� | �� |
�� | (b) | dividends, when stipulated, unless deducted in arriving at cash flows from operating activities. |
For a reconciliation to cash flows from operations please refer to the
Summary of Consolidated Operating Results and Reconciliation of EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Earnings and Free Cash Flow included in
the attached schedule.
EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measurements recommended by the
CICA in accordance with the recommendations provided in their October
2008 publication, Improved Communications with Non-GAAP Financial Measures - General
Principles and Guidance for Reporting EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.
Constant Currency
Because exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period
to period comparisons, the presentation of various financial metrics on
a constant currency basis or after giving effect to foreign exchange
translation, in addition to the reported metrics, helps improve the
ability to understand operating results and evaluate performance in
comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares
results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant over
the periods. Constant currency is��derived by��calculating��current-year
results using��prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. Results
calculated on a constant currency basis should be considered in
addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance
with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used
by other companies.
