STAMFORD, Conn., July 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. ("Affinion Holdings" or the "Company"), a global leader in loyalty and customer engagement, announced today the financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 (the "second quarter" or "quarter") for itself and selected financial information for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Affinion Group, Inc. ("Affinion").

"We are pleased with our results in the second quarter, as our three core businesses – loyalty, customer engagement and insurance – produced solid results and position the Company for sustainable long-term success," said Todd Siegel, the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

"As we continue to execute against our strategic plans," Siegel continued, "we expect, as anticipated, that our 2016 Adjusted EBITDA will be in a range of $230 million to $245 million assuming 2015 year-end foreign exchange rates.  Further, based on our solid results so far this year, as well as certain new initiatives currently being implemented, we remain confident that the Company will return to growth in 2017 led by the continued success of our leading loyalty and customer engagement solutions."

Results Highlights
Notes: Adjusted EBITDA as referred to above excludes any pro forma impact of acquisitions and other actions.  See Table 5 for a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA by segment. See Tables 6 and 7 for a complete description of Adjusted EBITDA and the related reconciliations to GAAP measures. 

Second Quarter Net Revenues

  • Net revenues for the second quarter of 2016 decreased 17.3%, from $295.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $244.0 million. The decrease in overall net revenues was primarily due to expected revenue declines in Legacy Membership and Package, as well as lower Global Loyalty, Global Customer Engagement and Insurance Solutions revenue.
  • Net revenues for the three core business segments (Global Loyalty, Global Customer Engagement and Insurance Solutions) for the second quarter of 2016 decreased 5.6%, from $205.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $194.0 million. On a currency consistent basis, net revenues for the three core business segments were $195.7 million in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Net revenues for the Legacy Membership and Package segment decreased 43.8%, from $89.7 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $50.4 million.

Second Quarter Operating Results

  • Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Note (f) of Table 6) was $57.0 million as compared to $62.1 million for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of 8.2%.
  • Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note (1) of Table 5) decreased $6.4 million as the impact of lower net revenues was partially offset by lower marketing and commissions, lower operating costs, and lower general and administrative expenses.
  • Segment EBITDA for the three core business segments (Global Loyalty, Global Customer Engagement and Insurance Solutions) increased $2.8 million as an increase in Global Customer Engagement Segment EBITDA was partially offset by a slight decline in Insurance Solutions and the expected declines in Global Loyalty.
  • Segment EBITDA for the Legacy Membership and Package segment decreased $10.0 million primarily due to lower net revenues which were partially offset by lower marketing and commissions and lower operating costs including cost savings initiatives.
  • As compared to Segment EBITDA, second quarter Adjusted EBITDA reflects the exclusion of, among other items, $4.0 million in costs related primarily to restructuring of certain operations including related severance costs, $1.5 million in costs relating to certain litigation matters and $1.3 million of stock compensation expense.

Segment Commentary

Global Loyalty net revenues decreased by $3.9 million, or 8.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $40.0 million as compared to $43.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as increased revenues from growth with existing clients were more than offset by lower revenue from the loss of a key client in 2015.  Excluding the impact from the loss of a key client, net revenues would have increased during the same time frame.

Global Loyalty Segment EBITDA decreased by $2.1 million to $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as the increased contribution associated with new and existing clients was more than offset by the loss of a key client in 2015.   

Global Customer Engagement net revenues decreased by $4.0 million, or 3.9%, to $98.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $102.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  Net revenues decreased $2.3 million on a currency consistent basis, as a change in deal structure with a client (which impacted our net revenue but had a limited impact on Segment EBITDA) more than offset higher revenue from growth with our online partnerships in our revenue enhancement business.  Net revenues declined $1.7 million from the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange.

Global Customer Engagement Segment EBITDA increased by $6.1 million to $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as lower net revenue was more than offset by lower marketing and commissions, lower operating costs and lower general and administrative expenses.  The lower marketing and commissions were primarily due to the timing of campaign launches.  The lower operating costs were primarily related to lower product and servicing costs.  The lower general and administrative expenses were primarily due to a favorable impact of foreign exchange.

Insurance Solutions net revenues decreased by $3.7 million, or 6.3%, to $55.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $59.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to the impact of lower average supplemental insureds.

Insurance Solutions Segment EBITDA decreased by $1.2 million to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as the impact of lower net revenues was partially offset by lower operating costs primarily from reduced marketing and commissions and lower employee related costs.

Legacy Membership and Package net revenues decreased by $39.3 million, or 43.8%, to $50.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $89.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to the expected attrition of legacy members, as well as a decline in Package revenue primarily due to the impact of lower average Package members.

Legacy Membership and Package Segment EBITDA decreased by $10.0 million to $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $24.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to lower net revenues resulting from the expected attrition of legacy members and Package members.  Lower net revenues were partially offset by lower marketing and commissions and lower operating costs including cost savings initiatives.

Corporate costs include certain departmental service costs such as human resources, legal, corporate finance and accounting, and unallocated portions of information technology. Expenses, such as professional fees related to debt financing activities and stock compensation costs, are also recorded in corporate. Corporate costs decreased by $0.8 million to $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily from lower professional fees from debt refinancing transactions.

(1) 

Gross Transactional Sales Volume primarily includes the gross sales amount of travel bookings, gift cards and merchandise redeemed by customers of our clients' programs that we support and excludes cash redemptions and revenue generated from programming, platform, administration and other non-transactional services. Gross Transactional Sales Volume  per Transaction is calculated by taking the Gross Transactional Sales Volume reported for the period and dividing it by the total transactions for the same period.

(2)

Average Subscribers, Average Supplemental Insureds and Average Legacy Members for the period are all calculated by determining the average subscribers, insureds or members, as applicable, for each month in the period (adding the number of subscribers, insureds or members, as applicable, at the beginning of the month with the number of subscribers, insureds or members, as applicable, at the end of the month and dividing that total by two) and then averaging that result for the period. A subscriber's, insured's or member's, as applicable, account is added or removed in the period in which the subscriber, insured or member, as applicable, has joined or cancelled.

(3)

  Annualized Net Revenue per Average Subscriber and Supplemental Insured are all calculated by taking the revenues as reported for the period and dividing it by the average subscribers or insureds, as applicable, for the period. Quarterly periods are then multiplied by four to annualize this amount for comparative purposes. Upon cancellation of a subscriber or an insured, as applicable, the subscriber's or insured's, as applicable, revenues are no longer recognized in the calculation.

Segment EBITDA consists of income from operations before depreciation and amortization. Segment EBITDA is the measure management uses to evaluate segment performance, and we present Segment EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our operating performance. We use Segment EBITDA as one criterion for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. We believe that Segment EBITDA is an operating performance measure, and not a liquidity measure, that provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. However, Segment EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider Segment EBITDA as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. For a reconciliation of Affinion Holdings' consolidated net income (loss) attributable for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 to Affinion Holdings' Segment EBITDA, see Table 6.




We believe that Adjusted EBITDA for each segment provides supplemental information useful to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze performance period to period, to analyze a company's ability to service its debt and to facilitate comparisons among companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA also provides additional supplemental information to compare results among our segments. However, Adjusted EBITDA by segment is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA by segment may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA by segment as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. For a discussion of the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Affinion Group Holdings, Inc., see Table 6.

(b)

Eliminates the effect of purchase accounting related to the Apollo transactions.

(c)

Represents the elimination of legal costs for certain legal matters.

(d)

Represents the elimination of costs associated with severance incurred.

(e)

Eliminates (i) the impairment charge related to the goodwill and intangible assets of the former Membership Products segment, (ii) net changes in certain reserves, (iii) share-based compensation expense, (iv) foreign currency gains and losses related to unusual, non-recurring intercompany transactions, (v) costs associated with certain strategic and corporate development activities, including business optimization, (vi) consulting fees payable to Apollo, (vii) facility exit costs and (viii) debt refinancing expenses.

(f)

Adjusted EBITDA consists of income from operations before depreciation and amortization further adjusted to exclude non-cash and unusual items and other adjustments permitted in our debt agreements to test the permissibility of certain types of transactions, including debt incurrence. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of liquidity or financial performance under U.S. GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an indicator of operating performance.

(g)

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding pro forma adjustments, does not give pro forma effect to the projected annualized benefits of restructurings and other cost savings initiatives. However, we do make such accretive pro forma adjustments as if such restructurings and cost savings initiatives had occurred on July 1, 2015 in calculating the Adjusted EBITDA under Affinion's senior secured credit facility and the indenture governing Affinion's 2010 senior notes.  

(h)

Gives effect to the projected annualized benefits of the restructurings and other cost savings initiatives as if such restructurings and cost savings initiatives had occurred on July 1, 2015.

(i)

Adjusted EBITDA, including pro forma adjustments, gives pro forma effect to the adjustments discussed in (h) above.
