14% organic growth in revenue

 

To reflect the enlarged scope of its business, Ingenico Group is now organized into five divisions: Europe & Africa (the former SEPA and EMEA segments, without the Middle East), Asia-Pacific and Middle East, Latin America, North America and ePayments.

Performance in the fourth quarter

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, revenue totaled EUR592 million, representing a 13% increase on a reported basis, including a positive foreign exchange impact of EUR10 million. Total revenue included EUR419 million generated by the Payment Terminals business and EUR173 million generated by Payment Services activities^[4].

 

On a comparable basis¹, revenue was up 11% compared to the Q4 2014 figure. The buoyant Chinese and U.S. markets were significant drivers of growth in Terminals (up 17%). As anticipated, Ingenico Group's performance in Payment Services activities⁴ (down 1%) reflected a significant decrease in volumes from one account in collecting business during the third quarter of 2015. Excluding this event, Payment Services activities⁴ would have shown 5% growth.

 

During the fourth quarter, Ingenico Group achieved strong organic growth across all regions. Compared with Q4 2014, performance for the fourth quarter by division, on a like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates, was as follows:

 

- Europe-Africa (up 6%): Ingenico Group once again turned in solid performance. In the terminals business, the Group maintained its leadership in France thanks to a range of products and services tailored to market needs. In Italy, Ingenico Group benefitted also from its leadership, especially on the mPOS, and from a favorable regulatory environment.

In Eastern Europe, Ingenico Group strengthened its position in Poland and Romania, while also reaping the benefits of new restrictions on cash withdrawals in Greece. In Russia, Ingenico Group nearly doubled its sales after conclusion of a major deal with Sberbank.

The Group's in-store Payment Services business in Western Europe also gained ground with growing market share and the renewal of existing contracts.

 

- Asia-Pacific and Middle East (up 17%): Ingenico Group continued to perform well in China (up 14%). Sales were driven by large-scale retail, where there was still double-digit growth despite the current economic slowdown. Ingenico Group has maintained its market leadership in the country. India's booming market continued to benefit the Group, as did the government's tax incentive program and the growing popularity of digital wallets. Ingenico Group also performed extremely well in Turkey, capturing growth from deployment terminals with fiscal memory.

 

- Latin America (up 10%): Ingenico Group again recorded high growth in the region despite Brazilian economy. In Brazil, the Group leveraged its range of innovative products geared to market needs, particularly in terms of connectivity, to strengthen its relationships with acquirers. Business increased substantially in most of the other countries in the region, including Mexico, where Ingenico Group signed its first contract in large-scale retail, Chile and Peru.

 

- North America (up 48%): Ingenico Group continued to enjoy remarkably high growth in the region, thanks to a particularly buoyant market in the United States (up 81%), ongoing EMV migration and the deployment of NFC solutions for small and medium-sized retailers. Over four fifths of all terminals delivered to these retailers in the fourth quarter were NFC-enabled. Ingenico Group confirms its confidence in achieving double digit growth in the United States in 2016.

 

- ePayments (down 4%): Performance was affected by a significant decrease in transaction volumes from one of the division's key accounts during the third quarter of 2015. Ingenico Group expects a return in the second half of 2016 to double-digit growth, supported by three initiatives:

- Acceleration of investments to ensure adoption of the most advanced technological standards for our platforms

- More streamlined technical integration of customers within the Group's platforms and the rollout of unique mobile commerce solutions

- Good commercial dynamic as shown by new customers who joined the Group's platforms in late 2015

Lastly, in January 2016, Ingenico Group launched Ingenico ePayments, a new brand that marks the completion of the integration process for Ogone and GlobalCollect and reflects the Group's ambition to secure its position at the forefront of the online payment market.

 

 

Performance for the year

 

 

In 2015, revenue totaled EUR2.197 billion, representing a 37% increase on a reported basis, including a positive foreign exchange impact of EUR95 million. Total revenue included EUR1.532 billion generated by the Payment Terminals business and EUR665 million generated by Payment Services activities⁴.

 

On a comparable basis¹, revenue growth was 14% higher than in 2014, due to strong business in both segments. The 16% increase recorded in Payment Terminals was attributable to a variety of factors, including the deployment of NFC technology across all regions (83% of all Telium terminals shipped in 2015), EMV migration in the United States and ongoing adoption of electronic payment equipment in emerging markets. The Payment Services activities⁴ also saw 9% growth, driven by a buoyant e-business market, vigorous in-store payment services and the Group's first cross-channel contracts. Excluding this event affecting ePayments, Payment Services activities⁴' revenue would have been up by 11%.

 

All regions contributed to the Group's overall performance during the period. In Europe-Africa (up 5%), revenue growth is stable in France, while competitive pressure increased. The Group's performance in the region was supported by strong business in the United Kingdom, Germany and Eastern Europe, as well as in-store payment services.

Ingenico Group's rapid expansion has continued in North America (up 44%), mainly driven by the United States (up 81%), which is now the Group's biggest market. Ingenico Group has also continued to gain ground in emerging markets, and particularly in China, Brazil and India.

In spite of a non-recurring event in the third quarter, the ePayments division made significant operational progress in 2015, integrating Ogone and GlobalCollect, developing new products and launching a new dedicated brand.

 

Gross profit up 20% 

In 2015, adjusted gross profit for the year rose to EUR972 million and 44.3% of revenue. This represented an increase of 20% and 60 basis points against the 2014 pro forma figure³.

 

Gross margin in the Payment Terminals business saw a 50 basis-point increase to 47.5% of revenue³. This result was driven by strong growth in the segment, combined with the economies of scale achieved by the Group.

 

Gross margin in Payment Services activities⁴ rose 20 basis points³ to 36.9% of revenue, an achievement mainly due to continued optimization of operating costs on in-store transaction processing platforms.

 

 

Operating expenses under control at 24.4% of revenue

 

Adjusted operating expenses in 2015 totaled EUR536 million, up 20%³. This increase can be attributed to expenditures for the acceleration of platform convergence, market rollout of the new terminal range Telium Tetra and the development of the new online payment offers. Adjusted operating expenses represented 24.4% of revenue, versus 24.2% in 2014 on a pro forma basis³.

 

EBITDA margin of 23.1%

On a pro forma basis³, EBITDA increased by 22% to EUR508 million, up from EUR415 million in 2014. EBITDA margin increased by 60 basis points to 23.1% of revenue.

EBIT margin of 19.9%

In 2015, EBIT increased by 21% to EUR437 million, compared with EUR361 million in 2014 on a pro forma basis³. The EBIT margin was 19.9% revenue, up 30 basis points.

Increased profit from operating activities

Other operating income and expenses represented a net expense of EUR8 million. In 2014, the Group recorded a net expense of EUR18 million, related to the acquisition and integration of new entities.

 

Purchase Price Allocation expenses totaled EUR48 million in 2015, versus EUR32 million in 2014.

 

After accounting for Purchase Price Allocation and other operating income and expenses, profit from operations totaled EUR381 million, compared with EUR273 million in 2014. The Group's operating margin increased to 17.3% of revenue.

 

Rising net profit attributable to Group shareholders

Income tax expense rose from EUR81 million in 2014 to EUR125 million in 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the effective tax rate for Ingenico Group was 34.5%, up from 31.8% in 2014, as taxation became less favorable in a number of emerging economies in 2015 and the Group earned a larger share of its profits in high-tax countries.

 

This result includes net finance costs of EUR19 million, which showed little change.

 

The net profit attributable to Group shareholders rose sharply from EUR172 million in 2014 to EUR230 million in 2015.

 

Proposed dividend of EUR1.30 per share, up 30%

 

In keeping with the Group's dividend policy, the Board of Directors will propose at the Annual Meeting of April 29, 2016 a dividend of EUR1.30 per share, representing a payout ratio of 35%. Dividends will be payable in cash or in shares, according to the holder's preference.

 

A sound financial position in line with the Group's growth plan

 

The total equity attributable to Ingenico Group S.A. shareholders was EUR1.506 billion.

 

In 2015, Ingenico Group's operations generated free cash flow of EUR285 million, up from EUR255 million in 2014. This reflected a significant increase in EBITDA, along with a negative change in working capital of EUR14 million. At the same time, Ingenico Group stepped up its investments to finance the expansion of its ePayments platforms: net income from investment activities totaled EUR62 million, compared with EUR51 million in 2014. Income tax paid totaled EUR137 million, compared with EUR93 million in 2014. The EBITDA to FCF conversion ratio reached 56%.

 

Ingenico Group's net debt fell from EUR764 as of December 31, 2014 to EUR252 million, reflecting the early redemption of OCEANE bonds at the beginning of 2015.

 

As a result, the net debt-to-equity ratio was 17%, while the net debt-to-EBITDA ratio was 0.5, down from 1.7 at December 31, 2014.

 

Outlook

 

With its unique positioning in a structurally growing electronic payment market, Ingenico Group has entered 2016 with full confidence.

 

The Group expects revenue to grow by roughly 10% on a like-for-like basis at constant exchange rates.

 

In 2016, Ingenico Group also expects its EBITDA margin to be around 21%, reflecting a stepped-up focus on developing and bringing its ePayments and other offers to market.

 

After reaching its mid-term targets a year ahead of schedule, the Group is working actively to accelerate its transformation into the global leader in payment acceptance across all channels. Ingenico Group's guidance for 2020 will be announced at an Investor Day event to be held in London on March 23, 2016.

 

Executive Committee appointments

 

After a distinguished 25 year long career at Ingenico Group in Paris, Singapore, Sydney, and most recently in the United States, Thierry Denis decided to leave the US to focus on new personal projects. Thierry will continue to provide expertise when needed.

Oscar Bello, who joined the Group in 2008 following the Sagem Monétel acquisition, will leave his position as EVP for Latin America, to become EVP North America. Formerly in charge of Western Europe, José Luis Arias, who has been part of the Group since 2010, following First Data Iberica acquisition, has been appointed EVP for Latin America. As such, he takes up his position on the Ingenico Group Executive Committee.

These appointments demonstrate the Group's ability to train, integrate and develop high quality international leaders.

EXHIBIT 1

Basis for preparing the 2015 accounts

 

 

The consolidated financial data has been drawn up in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. In order to provide meaningful comparable information, that data has been presented on an adjusted basis, i.e. restated to reflect the depreciation and amortization expenses arising on the acquisition of new entities. Pursuant to IFRS3R, the purchase price for new entities is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and subsequently amortized over specified periods.

 

The main financial data for 2015 is discussed on an adjusted basis, i.e., before Purchase Price Allocation (PPA); see Exhibit 3.

 

To facilitate assessment of the Group's performance from January 1st, 2015 onward, consolidated revenue and the key consolidated financial figures for 2014 have been restated, with effect from January 1, 2014, to reflect the acquisition of GlobalCollect completed on September 30, 2014 ("2014 pro forma") and presented on a non-audited adjusted basis (restated to reflect Purchase Price Allocation expenses recognized on acquisitions and divestitures). Please see Exhibit 4.

 

EBITDA is not an accounting term; it is a financial metric defined here as profit from ordinary activities before depreciation, amortization and provisions, and before expenses for shares distributed to employees and officers. The reconciliation of adjusted profit from ordinary operations to EBITDA is available in Exhibit 3.

 

EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) is equal to profit from ordinary activities, adjusted for amortization of the purchase price for newly acquired entities allocated to the identifiable assets acquired.

 

Free cash flow is equal to EBITDA less: cash and other operating income and expenses, changes in working capital requirements, investing activities net of disposals, financial expenses net of financial income, and tax paid.
