      CINCINNATI, Aug. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vantiv, Inc. (NYSE: VNTV) ("Vantiv" or the "company") today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017. Total revenue increased 12% to $998.8 million as compared to $891.2 million in the prior year period. Net revenue increased 10% to $530.0 million as compared to $480.5 million in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, net income per diluted share attributable to Vantiv, Inc. increased 11% to $0.42 as compared to $0.38 in the prior year period. Pro forma adjusted net income per share increased 19% to $0.83 as compared to $0.70 in the prior year period. (See Schedule 1 for net income per diluted share attributable to Vantiv, Inc. and Schedule 2 for pro forma adjusted net income per share.)

      "Our scale, distribution and technology have enabled us to consistently generate strong net revenue growth," said Charles Drucker, president and chief executive officer at Vantiv. "Our team continues to execute at the highest level, bringing our strategy of investing in high growth channels and verticals to life in a way that enhances our growth potential and increases shareholder value."

      Merchant Services

      Merchant Services net revenue increased 16% to $449.1 million in the second quarter as compared to $387.8 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a 10% increase in transactions and a 5% increase in net revenue per transaction.

      Financial Institution Services

      Financial Institution Services net revenue decreased 13% to $80.9 million in the second quarter as compared to $92.7 million in the prior year period.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 2% to $5.6 million in the second quarter as compared to $5.7 million in the prior year period. (See Schedule 3 for segment information.)

(See schedule 1 for GAAP financial measures and Schedule 2 for non-GAAP and pro forma adjustments.)

      Adjusted EBITDA

      Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $256.2 million in the second quarter as compared to $233.3 million in the prior year period. (See Schedule 6 for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA.)

The total purchase price of approximately $1.27 billion was funded with an additional Term B Loan.

      Forward-Looking Statements

      This release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this release are forward-looking statements including any statements regarding guidance and statements of a general economic or industry specific nature. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, guidance, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. 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.

      (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 expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 primarily relate to the change in fair value of a tax receivable agreement ("TRA") entered into as part of the acquisition of Mercury.

      (3) Includes a credit of approximately $5.5 million and $14.1 million for the three and six months ended June 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 and six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately 35.0 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 and six months ended June 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 June 30, 2017 and 2016 include $4,976 and $3,487 in Other operating costs, respectively and $8,260 and $8,921 in General and administrative ("G&A"), respectively. Transition, acquisition and integration costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include $8,239 and $5,975 in Other operating costs, respectively and $54,531 and $13,596 in General and administrative ("G&A"), respectively. Included in Transition, acquisition and integration costs in the six months ended June 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 expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 primarily relate to the change in the 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.
