PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Green Dot Corporation GDOT, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

For the first quarter of 2014, Green Dot reported $159.3 million in GAAP total operating revenues and $0.33 in GAAP diluted earnings per share. On a non-GAAP basis, Green Dot reported growth of 4% year-over-year in non-GAAP total operating revenues1 to $161.7 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share1 of $0.42.

"Green Dot generated solid top line and bottom line results in Q1. In addition to posting our third sequential quarterly uptick in active cards, we also benefited from increasing operating efficiencies and an increasing mix of higher margin revenue generated from better customer usage behavior on our products. Despite a highly competitive market for prepaid cards, we believe the Green Dot brand and the overwhelming preference for our products continues to help drive our business forward,” said Steve Streit, Green Dot Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

GAAP financial results for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013:

  • Total operating revenues on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis increased 3% to $159.3 million for the first quarter of 2014 from $154.1 million for the first quarter of 2013
  • GAAP net income was $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2014 versus $15.6 million for the first quarter of 2013
  • GAAP basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.34 and $0.33, respectively, for the first quarter of 2014 versus $0.36 and $0.35, respectively, for the first quarter of 2013

Non-GAAP financial results for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013:1

  • Non-GAAP total operating revenues1 increased 4% to $161.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 from $155.8 million for the first quarter of 2013
  • Non-GAAP net income1 was $19.3 million for the first quarter of 2014 versus $18.5 million for the first quarter of 2013
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share1 were both $0.42 for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013
  • EBITDA plus employee stock-based compensation expense and stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense (adjusted EBITDA1) increased 10% to $37.7 million, or 23.3% of non-GAAP total operating revenues for the first quarter of 2014 from $34.2 million, or 22.0% of non-GAAP total operating revenues for the first quarter of 2013
 
1 Reconciliations of total operating revenues to non-GAAP total operating revenues, net income to non-GAAP net income, diluted earnings per share to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and net income to adjusted EBITDA, respectively, are provided in the tables immediately following the consolidated financial statements of cash flows.

Outlook for 2014

Green Dot has reaffirmed its outlook for 2014. Green Dot's outlook is based on a number of assumptions that Green Dot believes are reasonable at the time of this earnings release. Information regarding potential risks that could cause the actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements is set forth below and in Green Dot's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For 2014, Green Dot expects full year non-GAAP total operating revenues2 to be between $640 million and $650 million, representing a projected growth range of 10% to 12% over 2013. Adjusted EBITDA2 is forecast to be between $114 million and $118 million, representing a projected growth range of 11% to 15% over 2013. Full-year non-GAAP diluted EPS2 is forecast to be between $1.22 and $1.28.

“We are off to a solid start to the year and are pleased to reaffirm our 2014 guidance. At the same time, it is important to note that we have launched a tremendous number of new retailers and new products over the past six months, and it will take more time to develop certainty as to how customer acquisition rates, active card numbers, and behavioral trends related to these new products and new retailers will play out through the remainder of the year. Therefore, while we are quite pleased with Q1 results, we want to caution analysts and investors not to get ahead of our guidance as we wait to see trends on key metrics more fully develop in successive quarters,” said Grace Wang, Green Dot Chief Financial Officer.

 
2 Reconciliations of forward-looking guidance for these non-GAAP financial measures to their respective, most directly comparable projected GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables immediately following the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA.

(1) To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses measures of operating results that are adjusted to exclude various, primarily non-cash, expenses and charges. These financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to or substitutes for operating revenues, operating income, net income or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate their measures in the same manner as we do. These financial measures are adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that the Company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate.

The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures it presents are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance for the following reasons:

  • stock-based retailer incentive compensation is a non-cash GAAP accounting charge that is an offset to the Company's actual revenues from operations as the Company has historically calculated them. This charge results from the monthly lapsing of the Company's right to repurchase a portion of the 2,208,552 shares it issued to its largest distributor, Walmart, in May 2010. By adding back this charge to the Company's GAAP 2010 and future total operating revenues, investors can make direct comparisons of the Company's revenues from operations prior to and after May 2010 and thus more easily perceive trends in the Company's core operations. Further, because the monthly charge is based on the then-current fair market value of the shares as to which the Company's repurchase right lapses, adding back this charge eliminates fluctuations in the Company's operating revenues caused by variations in its stock price and thus provides insight on the operating revenues directly associated with those core operations;
  • the Company records employee stock-based compensation from period to period, and recorded employee stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $4.0 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. By comparing the Company's adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in different historical periods, investors can evaluate the Company's operating results without the additional variations caused by employee stock-based compensation expense, which may not be comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of the Company's peers) and is not a key measure of the Company's operations;
  • adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items, such as interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, employee stock-based compensation expense, stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense and impairment charges, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their respective financing structures and accounting policies, the book values of their assets, their capital structures and the methods by which their assets were acquired; and
  • securities analysts use adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies.

The Company's management uses the non-GAAP financial measures:

  • as measures of operating performance, because they exclude the impact of items not directly resulting from the Company's core operations;
  • for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company's annual operating budget;
  • to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of the Company's business;
  • to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies; and
  • in communications with the Company's board of directors concerning the Company's financial performance.

The Company understands that, although adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • that these measures do not reflect the Company's capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments;
  • that these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
  • that these measures do not reflect interest expense or interest income;
  • that these measures do not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;
  • that, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and
  • that other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

(2) This expense consists of the recorded fair value of the shares of Class A common stock for which the Company's right to repurchase has lapsed pursuant to the terms of the May 2010 agreement under which they were issued to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a contra-revenue component of the Company's total operating revenues. Prior to the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company did not record stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense. The Company will, however, continue to incur this expense through May 2015. In future periods, the Company does not expect this expense will be comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair value of its Class A common stock. The Company will also have to record additional stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense to the extent that a warrant to purchase its Class B common stock vests and becomes exercisable upon the achievement of certain performance goals by PayPal. The Company does not believe these non-cash expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results.

(3) The Company does not include any income tax impact of the associated non-GAAP adjustment to non-GAAP total operating revenues or adjusted EBITDA, as the case may be, because each of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided before income tax expense.

(4) This expense consists primarily of expenses for employee stock options. Employee stock-based compensation expense is not comparable from period to period due to changes in the fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of the Company's peers) and is not a key measure of the Company's operations. The Company excludes employee stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it consists of non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. Further, the Company believes that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of employee stock-based compensation to its results of operations.

(5) These amounts represent estimated adjustments for net interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, employee stock-based compensation expense, and stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense. Employee stock-based compensation expense and stock-based retailer incentive compensation expense include assumptions about the future fair market value of the Company's Class A common stock (which is influenced by external factors like the volatility of public markets and the financial performance of the Company's peers).
