"We are investing in high growth segments of the market, including our combination with Worldpay, which will position us as a global acquirer with a leading position in eCommerce."

Merchant Services

Merchant Services net revenue increased 16% to $468.8 million in the third quarter as compared to $404.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a 9% increase in transactions and a 6% increase in net revenue per transaction.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 14% to $168.0 million in the third quarter as compared to $147.7 million in the prior year period, primarily due to strong new sales growth in partner channels. (See Schedule 3 for segment information.)

Financial Institution Services

Financial Institution Services net revenue decreased 1% to $85.5 million in the third quarter as compared to $86.2 million in the prior year period.

Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, guidance, plans, objectives, future performance and business.

These statements may include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend," "believe," "may," "should," "can have," "likely" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.

The forward-looking statements contained in this release are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you review and consider information presented herein, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They depend upon future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual future performance or results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Certain of these factors and other risks are discussed in the company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to adapt to developments and change in our industry; (ii) competition; (iii) unauthorized disclosure of data or security breaches; (iv) systems failures or interruptions; (v) our ability to expand our market share or enter new markets; (vi) our ability to identify and complete acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships; (vii) failure to comply with applicable requirements of Visa, MasterCard or other payment networks or changes in those requirements; (viii) our ability to pass along fee increases; (ix) termination of sponsorship or clearing services; (x) loss of clients or referral partners; (xi) reductions in overall consumer, business and government spending; (xii) fraud by merchants or others; (xiii) a decline in the use of credit, debit or prepaid cards; (xiv) consolidation in the banking and retail industries; (xv) the effects of governmental regulation or changes in laws; and (xvi) outcomes of future litigation or investigations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. More information on potential factors that could affect the company's financial results and performance is included from time to time in the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the company's periodic reports filed with the SEC, including the company's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and its subsequent filings with the SEC.

_______________

(1) Net revenue is revenue, less network fees and other costs which primarily consist of pass through expenses incurred by us in connection with providing processing services to our clients, including Visa and Mastercard network association fees, payment network fees, third party processing expenses, telecommunication charges, postage and card production costs.

(2) Non-operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 consists of an unrealized gain of approximately $24.4 million relating to the change in fair value of a deal contingent forward entered into in connection with the pending Worldpay Group plc ("Worldpay") acquisition, partially offset by the change in fair value of a tax receivable agreement ("TRA") entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury. Non-operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily relate to the change in fair value of a TRA entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury.

(3) Includes a credit of approximately $1.9 million and $16.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, relating to excess tax benefits as a result of the Company adopting new stock compensation accounting guidance on January 1, 2017 which requires those benefits be recorded in income tax expense.

(4) Due to our structure as a C corporation and Vantiv Holding's structure as a pass-through entity for tax purposes, the numerator in the diluted net income per share calculation is adjusted to reflect our income tax expense at an expected effective tax rate assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of our Class A common stock. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, approximately 23.6 million and 31.2 million weighted-average Class B units of Vantiv Holding were excluded in computing diluted net income per share because including them would have an antidilutive effect. As the Class B units of Vantiv Holding were not included, the numerator used in the calculation of diluted net income per share was equal to the numerator used in the calculation of basic net income per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The components of the diluted net income per share calculation are as follows:

Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures

This schedule presents non-GAAP and pro forma financial measures, which are important financial performance measures for the Company, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP, and such measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.

_______________

Pro forma adjusted net income is derived from GAAP income before applicable income taxes and adjusted for the following items described below:


(1) Represents acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, charges related to employee termination benefits and other transition activities. Transition, acquisition and integration costs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include $2,609 and $1,769 in Other operating costs, respectively and $2,507 and $992 in General and administrative ("G&A"), respectively. Transition, acquisition and integration costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include $10,846 and $7,744 in Other operating costs, respectively and $57,040 and $14,588 in G&A, respectively. Included in Transition, acquisition and integration costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is a $38 million charge to G&A related to a settlement agreement stemming from legacy litigation of an acquired company.

(2) Share-based compensation is recorded in G&A.

(3) Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations and customer portfolio and related asset acquisitions.

(4) Non-operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 consists of an unrealized gain of approximately $24.4 million relating to the change in fair value of a deal contingent forward entered into in connection with the pending Worldpay acquisition, partially offset by the change in fair value of a TRA entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury. Non-operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily relate to the change in fair value of a TRA entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury.

(5) Represents adjusted income tax expense to reflect an effective tax rate of 34.0% for 2017 and 36.0% for 2016, respectively, assuming the conversion of the Class B units of Vantiv Holding into shares of Class A common stock, including the tax effect of adjustments described above. The 2017 effective tax rate includes the impact of the excess tax benefits relating to stock compensation as a result of the Company adopting new stock compensation accounting guidance on January 1, 2017 which requires those benefits to be recorded in income tax expense. The effective tax rate is expected to remain at 34.0% for the remainder of 2017.

(6) Represents tax benefits due to the amortization of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting from or acquired with our acquisitions, and to the tax basis step up associated with our separation from Fifth Third Bank and the purchase or exchange of Class B units of Vantiv Holding, net of payment obligations under tax receivable agreements.

(7) Represents the non-controlling interest, net of pro forma income tax expense discussed in (5) above, associated with a consolidated joint venture.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This schedule presents adjusted EBITDA, which is an important financial performance measure for the Company, but is not a financial measure as defined by GAAP.  Such financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, and such measure may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.

_______________

(1) Non-operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 consists of an unrealized gain of approximately $24.4 million relating to the change in fair value of a deal contingent forward entered into in connection with the pending Worldpay acquisition, partially offset by the change in fair value of a TRA entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury. Non-operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily relate to the change in fair value of a TRA entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury.

(2) Represents acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions, charges related to employee termination benefits and other transition activities.  Included in Transition, acquisition and integration costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is a $38 million charge related to a settlement agreement stemming from legacy litigation of an acquired company.
