|
• | | The Company’s balance sheet remained free of debt.

• | | In May 2002, National Processing announced its plans to close its remaining operations in Juarez, Mexico by the end of the year. The work currently performed in Mexico will be relocated to existing facilities in the United States. The Company recorded an after-tax charge of $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 related to this announcement for severance costs, building and equipment write-downs, and anticipated tax expense. |

|
• | | On July 3, 2002, the Company acquired processing contracts from a key strategic partner.

|
• | | There are certain items that impact the comparability of the reported results for 2002 compared to their respective 2001 periods.

Further, the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 |
| | included $0.01 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively, of earnings from businesses that were divested or discontinued in 2001. |
President’s Comments and 2002 Outlook
“We are pleased to report another strong quarter of operating results”, stated Thomas A. Wimsett, President and CEO. “This marks our 14th consecutive quarter where core EBITDA growth has exceeded prior year results by more than 15%.”
“In May we announced that NPC will exit merchant processing for the airline industry, which represents about 7% of our revenue and 5% of our operating profit. This announcement is consistent with other actions we have taken since 1999 to refocus our business on higher margin, faster growth segments. While this revenue stream will not be replaced immediately, our regional account production remains strong and we also have several large national accounts that will activate in the third quarter, including Wild Oats Markets, Inc., ShopKo Stores, Inc. and Starbucks Coffee Company. Over time, our reputation for quality service and our leadership position in numerous segments should continue to produce excellent long-term growth for our business.
“During the second quarter, we made significant strides in our key infrastructure initiatives including the activation of NPC Access 3.0, our new web-based merchant accounting and reporting system. Several large national accounts have migrated to this platform and are enjoying the increased functionality of the new system. In addition, on July 1st we opened our new data center operation in Lansing, Michigan. This center will support our state-of-the-art, proprietary authorization platform for credit, debit, EBT and other electronic-based payments — allowing NPC to further expand our product offerings, as well as providing us with significant insourcing capabilities.
Mr. Wimsett concluded, “In light of continued uncertainty in the economy and the timing of certain airline deconversions, we have carefully reconsidered our business plan and outlook for the second half of 2002. We are somewhat more cautious about the revenue growth outlook, such that the top end of our prior revenue guidance now appears unrealistic. Our current expectation for full year core revenue growth for 2002 is now 7% to 11%. However, our prior guidance of $1.15 to $1.20 diluted EPS and 14% to 20% core EBITDA growth for 2002 remains unchanged.”
A conference call to discuss financial performance and business highlights will be held at 9:00 a.m. ET today hosted by Thomas A. Wimsett, president and chief executive officer, and David E. Fountain, chief financial officer. The call will be open to the public with both media and individual investors invited to participate in a listen-only mode. The conference can be accessed by calling 888.423.3281 (domestic) and 612.332.1213 (international). Participants should plan to dial in approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the call.
A replay of the live call will be available starting at 2:15 p.m. ET, July 17, 2002 through Midnight ET on July 19, 2002. The replay may be accessed by dialing 800.475.6701 (domestic) and 320.365.3844 (international) and entering access code 624471.
This announcement and Mr. Wimsett’s comments contain forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and financial market conditions and the Company’s ability to execute its business plans. Although management believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements is available in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
