Management Commentary
"Our financial results in the fourth quarter reinforce our business model's resiliency as well as the value of our Loyalty Commerce Platform," said Rob MacLean, CEO of Points. "We delivered sequential improvements across all key financial metrics and generated positive cash flow during the quarter. While conditions surrounding the pandemic still challenge both our overall transaction levels and visibility, we continue to outperform the broader travel category by a considerable margin, further strengthening our conviction that loyalty will play a vital role in travel's recovery.
"Despite the challenging macro environment, we continued to execute on our core growth drivers in 2020. We broadened our geographic reach by adding new partnerships with Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, and Caribbean Airlines during the year. In addition, we deepened several long-standing partnerships, including new services launched with Delta's Skymiles program, Air Canada's Aeroplan, and the United Mileage Plus program. Our business development success in 2020 positions us well for 2021, and I am extremely proud of our team's dedication to executing on our strategy and supporting our partners throughout this difficult time for our industry.
"As our travel and hospitality partners continue adapting to the evolving landscape and prepare for a broader recovery, they are capitalizing on the near and long-term value of their loyalty programs. Certain travel operators have already begun expanding their loyalty programs to offer benefits outside of travel and create further optionality in how members can flexibly earn and redeem miles. In line with these trends, we have leveraged the inherent adaptability of our own platform to support our partners, and we believe we can continue to enable them to diversify their revenue streams and drive loyalty member engagement through continued expansion of our Loyalty Commerce Network. Investments aimed at launching new services, more aggressive expansion into new verticals and continued focus on our data, automation and machine learning initiatives will continue to position us very well in the coming recovery."
MacLean concluded: "With Points now entering its 21st year of operations, I am proud of the resilience and flexibility that both our team and our platform have demonstrated this year. We remain well capitalized to see through the pandemic, and we have made the most of our operating environment over the past 12 months. We will continue to seize new revenue opportunities as we further build our pipeline, expand current partnerships and optimize our in market services."
Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Total revenue in the fourth quarter was $56.4 million compared to $107.0 million in the prior year quarter. Principal revenue was $51.3 million compared to $98.2 million, and other partner revenue was $5.1 million compared to $8.9 million.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter was $8.5 million compared to $17.6 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by the lingering impacts of COVID-19 across the business, partially offset by stronger promotional activity with current partners, as well as the impact of new partnerships and services launched throughout the year.
Adjusted operating expenses2 in the fourth quarter decreased to $8.2 million compared to $10.6 million in the prior year quarter. During the fourth quarter, Points recognized $1.2 million in wage subsidies under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy program, which was recorded as an offset to employment costs. In addition, reduced discretionary spending and prudent cost management in response to the pandemic also contributed to lower adjusted operating expenses during the quarter.
Net loss in the fourth quarter was $0.7 million or $(0.05) per share, compared to net income of $2.8 million or $0.20 per share in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA1 in the fourth quarter was $0.4 million compared to $7.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decline was primarily due to lower levels of transaction volumes as a result of COVID-19.
At December 31, 2020, total funds available3 were $79.1 million compared to $86.8 million as at December 31, 2019 and up from $68.2 million as at September 30, 2020. This total includes the Company's $15.0 million outstanding balance on its credit facility at year-end.
1 Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange, finance costs and equity-settled share-based compensation) is considered by management to be a useful supplemental measure when assessing financial performance. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the Company's ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow to fund future capital expenditures and working capital needs. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for Net Income, which we believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS measure. See Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of Management's Discussion and Analysis.
2 Adjusted operating expenses consist of employment expenses excluding equity-settled share-based compensation, marketing and communications, technology services and other operating expenses. Adjusted operating expense is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for total operating expenses, which we believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
3 Total funds available is defined as cash and cash equivalents, cash held in trust, and funds receivable from payment processors.

In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
Although Points believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to important risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Certain material assumptions or estimates are applied in making forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. In particular, uncertainty around the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response on global and regional economies, economic activity, and all elements of the travel and hospitality industry may have a significant and materially adverse impact on our business. In addition, the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may impact the results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) airline or travel industry disruptions, such as an airline insolvency and continued airline consolidation; (ii) our dependence on a limited number of large clients for a significant portion of our consolidated revenue; (iii) our reliance on contractual relationships with loyalty program partners that are subject to termination and renegotiation; (iv) our exposure to significant liquidity risk if we fail to meet contractual performance commitments; (v) our ability to convert our pipeline of prospective partners or launch new products with new or existing partners as expected or planned; (vi) our dependence on various third-parties that provide certain solutions in our Platform Partners segment that we market to loyalty program partners; (vii) the fact that our operations are conducted in multiple jurisdictions and in multiple currencies and as such dramatic fluctuations in exchange rates of the foreign currencies can have a dramatic effect on our financial results and (viii) the risk of an event of default under our senior secured credit facility. These and other important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in Points' annual information form, Form 40-F, annual and interim management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), and annual and interim financial statements and the notes thereto. These documents are available at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Management uses certain non-GAAP measures, which are defined in the appropriate sections of this press release, to better assess the Company's underlying performance. These measures are reviewed regularly by management and the Company's Board of Directors in assessing the Company's performance and in making decisions about ongoing operations. In addition, we use certain non-GAAP measures to determine the components of management compensation. We believe that these measures are also used by investors as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Readers are cautioned that these terms are not recognized GAAP measures and do not have a standardized GAAP meaning under IFRS and should not be construed as alternatives to IFRS terms, such as net income. Refer to "Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of the Company's Q4 2020 MD&A for reconciliation to, and description of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures.
