Posted on November 07, 2012 at 08:30 AM EST

CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/12 -- TransUnion today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. This is a combined announcement and consolidated financial statements for TransUnion Holding Company, Inc. ("TransUnion Holding", and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") and TransUnion Corp., a direct 100% owned subsidiary of TransUnion Holding(1).

  • Total revenue increased 9.0%; weakening foreign currencies accounted for a reduction in revenue of 1.6%; acquisitions accounted for 2.7% of revenue growth.
    • Revenue in USIS Online Data Services increased 7.8%, driven by an increase in credit report volumes in the financial services and reseller markets.
    • Revenue in USIS Decision Services increased 22.0%, driven by strong performance in Healthcare insurance eligibility and Financial Services, and the integration of Financial Healthcare Systems, LLC ("FHS").
    • Revenue in International emerging markets increased 4.8%, driven by increased volumes in all regions and the acquisitions of Crivo Sistemas em Informatica S.A. ("Crivo") in Brazil and Credit Reference Bureau (Holdings) Limited ("CRB") in Africa.
      • Weakening foreign currencies accounted for a reduction in emerging markets revenue of 11.7%.
      • Acquisitions accounted for an increase in emerging markets revenue of 16.1%.
    • Revenue in the Interactive segment increased 22.8%, driven by growth in the direct and indirect channels.
      • Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $106.0 million, an increase of 10.8% compared to the prior year.

"During the third quarter we continued to experience revenue and earnings growth behind strong core business performance, the benefit of recent investments and positive macroeconomic trends," said Bobby Mehta, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition we continue to benefit from the integration of recent acquisitions Crivo, FHS and CRB in higher growth markets and geographies."

Third Quarter 2012 Results

The Company reported revenue of $291.7 million, an increase of 9.0% compared to the third quarter of 2011. Weakening foreign currencies accounted for a reduction in revenue of 1.6%. Acquisitions accounted for an increase in revenue of 2.7%.

Operating income of $61.3 million in the third quarter, compared to $72.8 million in the prior year, was negatively impacted by a $21.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization, primarily resulting from purchase accounting adjustments to record tangible and intangibles assets at fair value due to the acquisition of TransUnion Corp. by TransUnion Holding on April 30, 2012 (the acquisition and related transactions being referred to herein as the "2012 Change in Control Transaction"). Excluding depreciation and amortization, operating income increased 10.8% compared to the third quarter of 2011.

Non-operating expense was $42.6 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $31.9 million in the prior year due to an increase in interest expense primarily related to $600 million principal amount of senior unsecured PIK toggle notes issued in the second quarter of 2012. Higher interest expense and the purchase accounting depreciation and amortization resulted in net income attributable to the Company of $11.3 million compared to $27.1 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Segment Highlights

U.S. Information Services (USIS)

USIS revenue was $186.1 million, an increase of 8.6% percent compared to the third quarter of 2011, with increases in all platforms due to improved market conditions and the integration of FHS. Acquisitions accounted for an increase in revenue of 0.9%.

  • Online Data Services revenue was $128.4 million, an increase of 7.8%, driven by an increase in core credit report volumes.
  • Credit Marketing Services revenue was $32.7 million, an increase of 2.8%, due to an increase in demand for custom data sets and archive information as customers increased their credit marketing programs.
  • Decision Services revenue was $25.0 million, an increase of 22.0%, driven by strong performance in Healthcare and Financial Services, and the integration of FHS.

Operating income of $47.5 million, compared to $52.4 million in the prior year, was negatively impacted by $13.4 million of additional depreciation and amortization, primarily resulting from purchase accounting adjustments related to the 2012 Change of Control Transaction. Excluding depreciation and amortization, USIS operating income increased 12.3% compared to the third quarter of 2011.

International

International revenue was $59.8 million, an increase of 1.5% compared to the third quarter of 2011. Weakening foreign currencies accounted for a reduction in revenue of 7.3%. Acquisitions accounted for an increase in revenue of 9.7%.

  • Developed markets revenue was $22.8 million, a decline of 3.4%, due to lower volumes in Canada and a reduction of 1.0% due to the impact of a weakening Canadian dollar.
  • Emerging markets revenue was $37.0 million, an increase of 4.8%, driven by increased volumes in all regions and the acquisition of Crivo and CRB. Weakening foreign currencies accounted for a reduction in revenue of 11.7%. Acquisitions accounted for an increase in revenue of 16.1%.

Operating income of $9.9 million, compared to $19.1 million in the prior year, was negatively impacted by $7.1 million of additional depreciation and amortization, primarily resulting from purchase accounting adjustments related to the 2012 Change of Control Transaction. Excluding depreciation and amortization, International operating income declined 9.5% compared to the third quarter of 2011. The remaining decline is attributed to planned integration costs, continued investment in growth and the negative impact of foreign currency.

Interactive

Interactive revenue was $45.8 million, an increase of 22.8% compared to the third quarter of 2011, driven by higher subscription revenue in the direct and indirect channels.

Operating income of $20.4 million increased 27.5% compared the prior year due to the increase in revenue and a decrease in the bad debt reserve, and despite the negative impact of $0.8 million from additional depreciation and amortization, primarily resulting from purchase accounting adjustments related to the 2012 Change of Control Transaction. Excluding depreciation and amortization, Interactive operating income increased 31.2% compared to the third quarter of 2011.

Operating income of $97.6 million, compared to $188.4 million in the first nine months of 2011, was impacted by $90.6 million of accelerated stock-based compensation and related expenses resulting from the 2012 Change in Control Transaction. Adjusted Operating Income of $188.2 million, compared to $194.7 million in the prior year, was negatively impacted by $36.6 million of additional depreciation and amortization, primarily resulting from purchase accounting adjustments related to the 2012 Change of Control Transaction.

Additionally, non-operating income and expense in the first nine months of 2012 included $41.9 million of acquisition expenses primarily related to the 2012 Change in Control Transaction and the abandoned initial public offering process. The 2012 Change in Control Transaction related expenses in operating and non-operating income and the purchase accounting depreciation and amortization resulted in a net loss attributable to TransUnion of $55.5 million compared to income of $24.5 million in the first nine months of 2011. The first nine months of 2011 included a $59.3 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt.

Recent Developments

Registration of 9.625%/10.375% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018

On October 5, 2012, TransUnion Holding announced that 100% of aggregate principal amount of outstanding unregistered 9.625%/10.375% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018, Series A were validly tendered for an equal principal amount of a new issue of registered 9.625%/10.375% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018, Series B. Terms of the new issue are substantially identical to those of the original notes, except that the transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the original notes do not apply to the new issue.

Issuance of $400 Million 8.125%/8.875% Senior PIK Toggle Notes Due 2018

On November 1, 2012, TransUnion Holding issued $400.0 million principal amount of 8.125%/8.875% senior unsecured PIK toggle notes due June 15, 2018, at an offering price of 99.5% in a private placement to certain investors. The notes contain a registration rights agreement that will require us to exchange the notes for an equal amount of notes registered with the SEC. The indenture governing these notes and the nonfinancial covenants are substantially similar to the outstanding senior unsecured PIK toggle notes. The proceeds were used to pay a $373.8 million dividend to our shareholders and to pay various costs associated with issuing the new debt and obtaining consents from our existing debt holders. In addition, TransUnion LLC prepaid $10.0 million of the senior secured term loan with cash on hand.

In conjunction with this release, TransUnion will host a conference call today, November 7, 2012, at 8:00 a.m. (CT) via a live teleconference to discuss the business trends supporting third quarter 2012 results.

(1) Due to the acquisition of TransUnion Corp. by TransUnion Holding, TransUnion Corp.'s financial statements are prepared on a Predecessor and Successor basis. In this earnings release, we combine the Predecessor and Successor results and compare the combined TransUnion Holding and TransUnion Corp. results in 2012 with the TransUnion Corp. results in 2011. TransUnion Holding and TransUnion Corp. operate as one business, with one management team. Management believes combining the earnings release of TransUnion Holding and TransUnion Corp. provides the following benefits: enhances investors' understanding of TransUnion Holding and TransUnion Corp. by enabling investors to view the business as a whole, the same manner as management views and operates the business; provides a more readable presentation of required disclosures with less duplication, since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosures apply to both TransUnion Holding and TransUnion Corp; and creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

(2) See page 17 for a reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income & Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, operating income and net income attributable to the Company, respectively.

TRANSUNION HOLDING AND TRANSUNION CORP.
Combined Results of Operations

TransUnion Holding's consolidated September 30, 2012, year-to-date results include the stand-alone results of TransUnion Holding from the date of inception through September 30, 2012, and the consolidated results of TransUnion Corp. and subsidiaries after April 30, 2012, the date of acquisition.

As a result of the 2012 Change in Control Transaction, TransUnion Corp.'s historical financial statements are presented on a Successor and Predecessor basis. Periods prior to May 1, 2012, reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of TransUnion Corp. prior to the 2012 Change in Control Transaction (the "Predecessor") and periods after April 30, 2012, reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of TransUnion Corp. after the 2012 Change in Control Transaction (the "Successor").

The 2012 Change in Control Transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. The guidance prescribes that the basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value to reflect the purchase price. Periods after the 2012 Change in Control Transaction are not comparable to prior periods primarily due to the additional amortization of intangibles in the Successor period resulting from the fair value adjustments of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, the Predecessor incurred significant stock-based compensation and acquisition costs related to the 2012 Change in Control Transaction.

To facilitate comparability with the prior year three-month period, we present below TransUnion Holding consolidated results for three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to TransUnion Corp. consolidated results for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For comparability with the prior year nine-month period, we present below TransUnion Holding consolidated results from inception through September 30, 2012, combined with TransUnion Corp. Predecessor consolidated results for the four months ended April 30, 2012 (combined results for nine months), compared to TransUnion Corp. consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We present the information in this format to assist readers in understanding and assessing the trends and significant changes in our results of operations on a comparable basis. We believe this presentation is appropriate because it provides a more meaningful comparison and more relevant analysis of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, than a presentation of separate historical results for TransUnion Holding and TransUnion Corp. Predecessor and Successor periods would provide. The following table sets forth our historical results of operations for the periods indicated below:

(1) For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, operating income included
    $90.6 million of accelerated stock-based compensation and related
    expense recorded by the Predecessor as a result of the 2012 Change in
    Control Transaction that were recorded in each segment and in Corporate
    as follows: USIS $41.1 million; International $14.4 million; Interactive
    $2.3 million; and Corporate $32.8 million. For the three and nine months
    ended September 30, 2012, operating income also included additional
    depreciation and amortization as a result of the purchase accounting
    fair value adjustments to the tangible and intangible assets recorded in
    connection with the 2012 Change in Control Transaction. The increase in
    depreciation and amortization, which is primarily related to the
    purchase accounting fair value adjustment, in the third quarter of 2012
    compared to the third quarter of 2011 was as follows: USIS $13.4
    million; International $7.1 million; Interactive $0.8 million; and
    Corporate $0.4 million. The increase in depreciation and amortization
    year-to-date 2012 compared to year-to-date 2011 was as follows: USIS
    $21.5 million; International $13.9 million; Interactive $1.1 million;
    and Corporate $0.1 million. See Part I, Item 1, Note 2, "2012 Change in
    Control Transaction," and Note 15, "Stock-Based Compensation," for
    further information about the impact of the acquisition of TransUnion
    Corp. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, operating income
    included a $3.6 million outsourcing vendor contract early termination
    fee and a $2.7 million software impairment and related restructuring
    charge. Both of these expenses were recorded in our USIS segment.

(1) For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, adjustments included $90.6
    million of accelerated stock-based compensation and related expense
    resulting from the 2012 Change in Control Transaction that were recorded
    in each segment and in Corporate as follows: USIS $41.1 million;
    International $14.4 million; Interactive $2.3 million; and Corporate
    $32.8 million. See Part I, Item 1, Note 2, "2012 Change in Control
    Transaction," and Note 15, "Stock-Based Compensation," for further
    information about the impact of the 2012 Change in Control Transaction.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, adjustments included a
    $3.6 million outsourcing vendor contract early termination fee and a
    $2.7 million software impairment and related restructuring charge
    recorded in our USIS segment.

(2) Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. We
    present Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental
    measures of our operating performance because they eliminate the impact
    of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing
    operating performance. In addition to its use as a measure of our
    operating performance, our board of directors and executive management
    team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a compensation measure. The annual
    variable compensation for members of senior management is based in part
    on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Operating Income does not reflect certain
    stock-based compensation and certain other income and expense. Adjusted
    EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, interest, income tax,
    depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation or certain other
    income and expense. Other companies in our industry may calculate
    Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do,
    limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these
    limitations, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA should not be
    considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures
    calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Operating Income and
    Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial condition or profitability
    under GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to cash flow from
    operating activities, as measures of liquidity or as alternatives to
    operating income or net income as indicators of operating performance.
    We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted
    Operating Income is operating income and the most directly comparable
    GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income attributable to TransUnion
    Corp. The reconciliations of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted
    EBITDA to their nearest GAAP measures are included in the table above.

(3) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, operating income
    included additional depreciation and amortization as a result of the
    purchase accounting fair value adjustments to the tangible and
    intangible assets recorded in connection with the 2012 Change in Control
    Transaction.

(4) Other income and expense above includes all amounts included on our
    consolidated statement of income in other income and expense, net,
    except for earnings from equity method investments and dividends
    received from cost method investments. For the nine months ended
    September 30, 2012, other income and expense included $41.9 million of
    acquisition-related expenses, primarily related to the 2012 Change in
    Control Transaction as discussed in Part I, Item 1, Note 2, "2012 Change
    in Control Transaction," and the abandoned initial public offering
    process, and $7.1 million of other income and expense. Of the $41.9
    million of acquisition-related expenses, $15.2 million was incurred by
    TransUnion Holding and $26.7 million was incurred by TransUnion Corp.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, other income and expense
    included a $59.3 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt as a
    result of refinancing our senior secured credit facility in February
    2011, and $8.0 million of other income and expense. See Part I, Item 1,
    Note 12, "Debt," for further information about the refinancing.
