Richard Stern, President and CEO of Access to Money said, "We continue to post consistent results from our operations. What is especially encouraging are the results from our Select-A-Branch program. ATMs equipped with the Select-A-Branch technology consistently demonstrate substantial increases in ATM transactions, and have also resulted in increased foot traffic for participating vendors. In our most recent placement of 60 Select-A-Branch machines, we saw a 25% increase in transactions in the first two months of deployment. Based on these demonstrable financial returns, we will continue to actively promote and sell this surcharge-free program to existing and new customers. We also continue to deploy ATMs at Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees, and have sold or placed approximately 150 ATMs since the inception of this program. Because the program has been successful for the franchisees, their customers and our Company, we look forward to expanding the number of participating shops in this program. I am encouraged by the success of these programs in that we have increased the total average number of transacting ATMs this quarter to 11,014, from 10,983 in the first quarter of the year, despite the fact that we removed a substantial number of ATMs from a former customer."
"In addition, we continue to make measured progress in providing an outsourced Private Student Loan origination solution for our financial institution customers. We have taken in approximately 2000 applications and have approved approximately 200 loans. The application rate for this lending season is significantly ahead of last year’s pace and we expect this trend to continue as we gain further traction in the space."
Mr. Stern concluded, "We have had continued discussions with our current lenders and potential replacement lenders with the expectation that we will refinance and extend our existing debt on more favorable economic terms. We hope to be able to announce a definitive transaction in this regard shortly. We will continue to concentrate on strengthening our operations, and identifying complementary business opportunities and partners, in an effort to position the Company for continued growth and profitability with a view to increasing Adjusted EBITDA in future periods."
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This earnings release includes financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), as well as non-GAAP financial measures for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) per basic and diluted shares, and Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release may be different from, and, therefore, not comparable to, similar measures used by other companies. The Company’s non-GAAP measures of net income/(loss) and net income/(loss) per basic and diluted share used in this release adjust for the change in warrant valuation. Its non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA removes the impact of its debt related interest expense, fair value adjustments of warrants, amortization and depreciation, share-based compensation expenses, and taxes from its net income/(loss).
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of its core business operating results. It believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to its historical performance and its competitors’ operating results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
The tables below present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) and non-GAAP net income/(loss) per basic and diluted share, to GAAP net income/(loss) and GAAP net income/(loss) per basic and diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
