STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Affinion Group, Inc. ("Affinion" or the "Company"), the global leader in enabling companies to connect and engage with their customers, thereby creating rewarding relationships and enhancing brand loyalty, announced today the financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 ("second quarter") for both Affinion and its parent company, Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings").

"We continue to see very solid demand for our Loyalty and International products and services, and through the first six months of the year, revenue in these two businesses increased by nearly 15% as compared to the first six months of 2012," said Todd Siegel, Affinion's Chief Executive Officer.  "This is our second consecutive year of achieving such first-half, double digit revenue growth in these key areas, and we were pleased to also be able to increase the combined Segment EBITDA of these increasingly important business lines by nearly 25% over the first half of 2012."

"In terms of our overall business, Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly this quarter, as the benefits of our highly variable cost structure continue to provide us with a way of mitigating the impacts to our Membership business from the ongoing reduction in new campaign activities with large domestic financial institutions," continued Siegel.  "For instance, the majority of our reduced marketing and commissions expense this quarter, relative to the second quarter of 2012, is due to lower commissions, a trend we expect will continue over the second half of the year due to our migration toward acquisition channels that carry lower, or in certain cases, no commission rates."

"However, over the remainder of the year, we also expect our level of marketing spend will increase from current levels as we further diversify our domestic operations and grow our International business, and, as a result, we continue to believe that our 2013 Adjusted EBITDA will be down approximately 10% from full year 2012 levels."

Results Highlights

Notes: Adjusted EBITDA as referred to above excludes any pro forma impact of acquisitions.  See Tables 6 and 11 for a complete description of Adjusted EBITDA and the related reconciliations to GAAP measures.  On November 14, 2012, Affinion completed the acquisitions of Back-Up, a Turkish provider of concierge and other assistance services and a sister company, Travel, a Turkish travel agency.  Back-Up's and Travel's business results are reported as part of the Company's International products segment.

Second Quarter Net Revenues

  • Net revenues for the second quarter of 2013 were $336.1 million as compared to $377.6 million for the second quarter of 2012, reflecting a decrease of 11.0%, with declines in North American products net revenues more than offsetting growth in International products net revenues. 
  • North American products net revenues decreased due principally to Membership, which continued to decline due to the previously disclosed reduction in new marketing campaigns with the Company's large North American financial institution partners as well as lower revenue from the Webloyalty and Prospectiv acquisitions.
  • International products net revenues increased primarily from new retail revenues, traditional membership revenues and contributions from the acquisition in Turkey.

Second Quarter Operating Results

  • Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Note (d) of Table 6) increased 0.6%, from $84.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $84.6 million.
  • In the second quarter of 2013, the Company incurred $14.8 million in non-recurring higher General and Administrative costs in connection with the decision to transfer a significant portion of its Accidental Death and Dismemberment program to a new carrier by 2014, which is expected to provide the Company with opportunities to expand its existing insurance product offerings, among other benefits.  The majority of the $14.8 million in costs relates to a termination payment to the Company's current carrier for relief from business volume commitments that are no longer expected to be met as a result of the anticipated migration to a replacement carrier, while the remaining portion relates to estimated premium refunds owed to certain insureds as specified in the current carrier agreement.
  • Segment EBITDA increased 114%, from $27.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $59.2 million, or $31.5 million.  The increase largely relates to the absence in 2013 of the previously disclosed $39.7 million in non-cash impairment charges in connection with the Company's Prospectiv acquisition.  Excluding this item and the $14.8 million in higher General and Administrative costs described above, Segment EBITDA would have increased 9.8%, as the Company more than offset the reduction in revenues with lower operating expenses.
  • As compared to Adjusted EBITDA, second quarter Segment EBITDA reflects the inclusion of, among other items, $14.8 million in costs related to the carrier transfer, $2.8 million in non-cash stock compensation expense, $2.7 million in costs related primarily to the restructuring of certain operations and $1.1 million in costs relating to the ongoing resolution of previously disclosed litigation matters.

Segment Commentary

North America:

Membership products revenue decreased $52.2 million, from $189.5 million to $137.3 million, or 27.5%, as compared to the second quarter of 2012.  Net Membership revenues decreased primarily due to lower volumes in connection with the ongoing reduction in new marketing campaigns with large domestic financial institution partners, a change in deal structure terms with a large client from traditional retail to fee-for-service, the anticipated attrition in volumes contributed from the domestic portion of the subscriber base acquired from Webloyalty, and lower revenue from Prospectiv.  Membership Segment EBITDA increased $2.7 million, from $31.7 million to $34.4 million, or 8.5%, as compared to the second quarter of 2012, as the impact of the lower revenues was more than offset by a reduction in variable expenses, including marketing and commissions and operating costs, and reduced general and administrative costs.

Insurance and Package products revenue decreased $3.1 million, from $75.3 million to $72.2 million, or 4.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 2012 due primarily to lower Package revenue as a result of lower volumes of Package subscribers.  Insurance and Package Segment EBITDA decreased $13.1 million, from $19.2 million to $6.1 million, or 68%, as compared to the second quarter of 2012, due primarily to the increase in general and administrative costs in connection with the migration to a new insurance carrier.  Excluding this one item, Insurance and Package Segment EBITDA would have increased 8.9% as lower marketing and commission expense and lower operating costs more than offset the lower revenues.

Loyalty products revenue increased $6.3 million, from $37.4 million to $43.7 million, or 16.8%, as compared to the second quarter of 2012, due primarily to growth with existing clients.  Loyalty Segment EBITDA increased $7.0 million, from $12.2 million to $19.2 million, or 57%, as compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to the same factors affecting revenue growth.

International:

International revenue increased $7.4 million, from $76.1 million to $83.5 million, or 9.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to higher retail member volumes from both the Company's online and offline acquisition channels as well as revenue generated from the Turkish acquisitions.  International Segment EBITDA decreased $7.0 million, from $10.0 million to $3.0 million, or 70.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 2012, as the higher revenue was more than offset by significantly higher marketing and commissions and operating costs in connection with the greater retail volumes.

Annualized Net Revenue Per Global 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.



(2)

Average Global Subscribers and Average Supplemental Insureds for the period are all calculated by determining the average subscribers or insureds, as applicable, for each month in the period (adding the number of subscribers or insureds, as applicable, at the beginning of the month with the number of subscribers or insureds, 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 or insured's, as applicable, account is added or removed in the period in which the subscriber or insured, as applicable, has joined or cancelled.

Note: The information presented in these press release tables 1-6 reflects the financial statement data and the results of operations of Affinion Group, Inc. ("Affinion") and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated above and does not include the $325.0 million senior notes incurred in October 2010 by Affinion Group Holdings, Inc., as described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of the Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. As part of the financing for the acquisition of the assets of Cendant Marketing Services Division by the Company from Cendant Corporation, Affinion (a) issued $270.0 million in principal amount of 10 1/8% senior notes maturing on October 15, 2013 ($266.4 million net of discount), (b) entered into senior secured credit facilities consisting of a term loan facility in the principal amount of $860.0 million and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, and (c) entered into a senior subordinated bridge loan facility in the principal amount of $383.6 million. On April 26, 2006, $349.5 million of principal borrowings under the senior subordinated bridge loan facility were repaid using the proceeds from a private offering of $355.5 million aggregate principal amount of 11 1/2% senior subordinated notes maturing on October 15, 2015. Subsequently, on May 3, 2006, the remaining $34.1 million of principal borrowings under the senior subordinated bridge loan facility were repaid using the proceeds from another private offering of $34.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10 1/8% senior notes maturing on October 15, 2013. The senior notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture dated as of October 17, 2005. On June 5, 2009, Affinion issued $150.0 million of new 10 1/8% senior notes maturing on October 15, 2013 ($136.5 million net of discount) in a private placement transaction. On April 9, 2010, Affinion entered into a $1.0 billion amended and restated senior secured credit facility consisting of a five-year $125.0 million revolving loan facility (increased in December 2012 to $165.0 million) and an $875.0 million term loan facility maturing in six and a half years.  In November 2010, Affinion issued 7.875% senior notes and utilized the net proceeds to redeem the 10 1/8% senior notes issued in 2005, 2006 and 2009.  On February 11, 2011, Affinion obtained incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million under Affinion's amended and restated senior secured credit facility.  Affinion used a portion of the proceeds to pay a dividend of $199.8 million to Affinion Holdings, with the balance used for working capital and other corporate purposes and to fund strategic initiatives.

(b)

Eliminates the effect of purchase accounting related to the Apollo Transactions and acquisition of Boyner Bireysel Urunler Satis ve Pazarlama A.S. ("Back-Up"), a Turkish provider of concierge and other assistance services and a sister company, Bofis Turizm ve Ticaret A.S. ("Travel"), a Turkish travel agency, legal costs for certain legal matters and costs associated with severance incurred.

(c)

Eliminates (i) net changes in certain reserves, (ii) foreign currency gains and losses related to unusual, non-recurring intercompany transactions, (iii) the loss from an investment accounted for under the equity method, (iv) costs associated with certain strategic and corporate development activities including business optimization and (v) consulting fees paid to Apollo.

(d)

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.

(e)

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding pro forma adjustments, does not give pro forma effect to the projected annualized benefits of restructurings and other cost savings initiatives in connection with the Prospectiv and Back-Up and Travel acquisitions. However, we do make such accretive pro forma adjustments as if such restructurings and cost savings initiatives had occurred on July 1, 2012 in calculating the Adjusted EBITDA under the amended and restated senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our 7.875% senior notes and senior subordinated notes.

The calculation of fixed charges excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the amendment and restatement of our credit facility on April 9, 2010.

(b)

Eliminates the effect of purchase accounting related to the Apollo Transactions and Back-Up and Travel acquisition, legal costs for certain legal matters and costs associated with severance incurred.

(c)

Eliminates (i) net changes in certain reserves, (ii) foreign currency gains and losses related to unusual, non-recurring intercompany transactions, (iii) the loss from an investment accounted for under the equity method, (iv) costs associated with certain strategic and corporate development activities including business optimization and (v) consulting fees paid to Apollo.

(d)

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.

(e)

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding pro forma adjustments, does not give pro forma effect to the projected annualized benefits of restructurings and other cost savings initiatives in connection with the Prospectiv and Back-Up and Travel acquisitions. However, we do make such accretive pro forma adjustments as if such restructurings and cost savings initiatives had occurred on July 1, 2012 in calculating the Adjusted EBITDA under Affinion's amended and restated senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing Affinion's 7.875% senior notes and senior subordinated notes and the Affinion Holdings senior notes.

(f)

Gives effect to the projected annualized benefits of restructurings and other cost savings initiatives in connection with the Prospectiv and Back-Up and Travel acquisitions as if such restructurings and cost savings initiatives had occurred on July 1, 2012.

(g)

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

    Set forth below is a reconciliation of Affinion Holdings' consolidated net loss attributable to Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 to Affinion Holdings' Adjusted EBITDA.
