Total revenues increased $18.2 million or 37.9% and $44.9 million or 33.5%
during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively,
as compared to the same periods in 1994.
Revenues from bankcard data processing services increased during the third
quarter and first nine months of 1995 due to an increase in the average number
of cardholder accounts on file and related increases in the volume of author-
izations and transactions for cardholder accounts processed. Average
cardholder accounts on file for the three months and nine
Results of Operations (continued)
months ended September 30, 1995, were 57,210,135 and 50,441,517,
respectively; average cardholder accounts on file for the same periods in 1994
were 41,055,138 and 38,004,300. Cardholder accounts on file at September 30,
1995, were 57,989,288, a 38.9% increase over the 41,742,815 accounts on file
at September 30, 1994.
The card portfolios of our existing customers continue to grow. In
addition, in June of 1995, over four million cardholder accounts of Mexican
banks processing with Total System Services de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("TSM"),
a joint venture between TSYS and a number of Mexican banks, were converted to
THE TOTAL SYSTEM [service mark]. At the same time, approximately 168,000
merchant accounts of the Mexican banks were converted to THE TOTAL SYSTEM,
increasing our merchant base to approximately 552,000 accounts. Also in June
1995, approximately 700,000 cardholder accounts and over 40,000 merchant
accounts of an existing customer but serviced by another processor were added
to THE TOTAL SYSTEM, so that TSYS is now processing all of this client's
accounts. During the third quarter of 1995, approximately 2.5 million
cardholder accounts were added, almost all of which were attributable to
existing customers. No significant conversions or deconversions occurred
during the third quarter.
AT&T Universal Card Services Corp. ("AT&T") continues to be a major
customer of TSYS, accounting for 22.0% and 22.1% of total revenues for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared
to 25.3% and 24.4% for the same periods in 1994. In June 1995, an amendment
to the processing agreement between TSYS and AT&T relative to the conversion of
AT&T's accounts to a customized version of the new cardholder processing
software system, TS2, was signed. The amended agreement voids the previously
agreed upon imposition of a 5% discount on AT&T's processing fees which was
effective from June 1, 1995, until the conversion of AT&T's accounts to TS2.
Under the amended agreement, a new, mutually agreeable conversion schedule
will be established. TSYS and AT&T are currently discussing the timing of
AT&T's conversion to TS2. The amended agreement further states there will be
no penalties payable, or additional processing fee discounts granted, by TSYS
to AT&T for any failure to complete the conversion in accordance with the
new schedule, nor will there be any premiums payable by AT&T to TSYS for
completion of the conversion prior to the completion date established under
the new agreement.
NationsBank accounted for 12.4% and 12.6% of total revenues for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to
11.9% and 12.1% for the same periods in 1994. TSYS' processing agreement with
NationsBank expired in September 1995. On October 25, 1995, TSYS announced
the execution of a new agreement with NationsBank to continue processing its
credit card portfolio.
In March of 1994, TSYS announced the signing of a long-term credit card
processing agreement with Bank of America. Due to delays in software systems
development, on January 5, 1995, TSYS announced that it had reached an
agreement in principle with Bank of America
Results of Operations (continued)
regarding amendments to their credit card processing agreement under which,
among other things, the conversions of Bank of America's credit card accounts
will be deferred beyond their contractually specified completion dates. On
March 15, 1995, TSYS and Bank of America executed a definitive amendment
to the credit card processing agreement reflecting the terms of the agreement
in principle. The completion of the conversions of Bank of America's credit
card accounts is now scheduled to be accomplished during 1996 and, when
accomplished, is expected to have a positive impact on TSYS' results of
operations. The processing agreement with Bank of America, including the
definitive amendment and related payments by TSYS, are not expected to have a
significant impact on TSYS' 1995 results of operations. TSYS' processing
agreement with Bank of America will extend for 10 years, subject to its terms
and conditions, from the date of the complete conversion of Bank of America's
accounts to TS2.
Revenues from other services increased 62.8% and 48.3% for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 1994. Revenues from other services consist primarily of revenues
generated by TSYS' wholly owned subsidiaries. Combined revenues of these
subsidiaries accounted for 10.6% and 11.1% of total consolidated revenues for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.
Total operating expenses increased 40.4% and 36.8% for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, over the same periods in 1994.
Investments in people and equipment to accommodate increased processing
volumes and preparation for the conversions of customers, including Bank of
America and AT&T, to TS2 are primarily responsible for these increases.
Employment expenses increased 21.3% and 30.7% for the third quarter and
first nine months of 1995, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994.
The average number of employees was 2,050 and 2,068 for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to 1,951 and 1,836 for the same
periods in 1994. In addition to the growth in the number of employees, the
increase in salaries and other employment expenses is attributable to normal
salary increases and related benefits. Employment expenses capitalized were
$739,294 and $1,920,323 for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1995, respectively, compared to $2,044,255 and $8,921,271, respectively,
for the same periods in 1994. The core of the new cardholder processing
software system was completed in September 1994, and since that time, amounts
capitalized relate to enhancements to TS2. At October 31, 1995, TSYS had
2,072 full-time and 109 part-time employees.
Net occupancy and equipment expense was up 31.7% and 28.9% for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1995, over the same periods in 1994. A
significant portion of this increase can be attributed to amortization of TS2,
which was $826,222 and $2,478,666 for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, compared to none in the same periods of 1994 as
amortization of TS2 commenced in October 1994. Equipment and software
rentals, which represents the largest component of net occupancy and equipment
expense, increased 40.7% and 34.8% for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, compared to the
Results of Operations (continued)
same periods in 1994, primarily due to upgrades of certain mainframe computers
and acquisition of additional direct access storage devices.
Other operating expenses increased 106.0% and 67.2% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, over the same periods in 1994. Beginning in
July 1995, TSYS paid management fees to Synovus Administrative Services Corp.
(see discussion below) which are included in this category and amounted to $1.5
million in the third quarter of 1995. Increases in other operating expenses
are also associated with increased supplies necessary to support the growth in
volumes of business. The increase in the cost of supplies is due to an
increase in the cost of paper as well as increased volumes. Also contributing
to the growth in other operating expenses are costs related to the conversion
of clients to TS2.
Interest, net, includes interest expense of $66,452 and $34,112 and
interest income of $221,509 and $94,159 for the third quarters of 1995 and
1994, respectively. For the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, respectively,
interest expense was $108,262 and $125,521 and interest income was $555,589
and $247,149. Interest expense has decreased due to normal repayments of
long-term debt. Interest income has increased as more cash has been available
for investment and short-term interest rates have increased.
TSYS' effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 1995 was 34.6%,
compared to 33.3% for the same period in 1994. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, the effective tax rate was 36.8%, compared to 36.9% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994. Prior to the third quarter of 1995,
TSYS' effective tax rate was declining attributable to the realization of
certain income tax planning strategies, including the recognition of research
and experimentation credits for ongoing development activities and a
reduction in effective state income tax rates; however, with the completion
of the core of our new cardholder processing system, TS2, research and
development credits have decreased, effecting an increase in TSYS' effective
tax rate. Deferred income taxes at September 30, 1995, primarily relate to
the differences in the tax and book treatments of costs associated with the
development of TS2 and other software.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the third quarter of 1995, TSYS purchased property and equipment of
$1.3 million for total purchases of $8.1 million in the first nine months of
1995; purchases consisted primarily of computer equipment and the addition of
a new, state-of-the-art printing press. Computer software was increased during
the third quarter by $2.3 million, bringing the total additions for 1995 to
$5.9 million. These additions to software include costs related to
enhancements to the new cardholder processing system, TS2, of $739,300 and
purchases of computer software of $1.6 million. These expenditures are
necessary in order for TSYS to continue operating with the latest technology,
enabling the Company to continue providing quality service in an increasingly
competitive environment, as well as providing capacity for increasing volumes
of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
As discussed above, TSM began operations in June 1995 following the
successful completion of the largest conversion of credit card processing
services in the history of Mexico's credit card industry - more than 4
million cardholder accounts and approximately 168,000 merchant accounts.
TSM occupies a new state-of-the-art, 52,000 square-foot facility located in
Toluca, Mexico, approximately 35 miles west of Mexico City. Card and
statement production services are being performed by TSM at the Mexican
facility, while TSM has subcontracted data processing services to TSYS.
Revenues from this processing were $3.6 million and $4.2 million for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.
The data processing services are being performed at TSYS' operations facility
in north Columbus.
TSYS has invested $6.2 million in TSM, $3.5 million of which was in the
first six months of 1995, maintaining its 49% equity interest in the
joint venture. At September 30, 1995, the cumulative currency translation
adjustment related to the Company's equity investment amounted to $629,211,
net of deferred income taxes. Although the Mexican economy has continued to
improve during the third quarter of 1995, and the value of the Mexican peso
remained relatively stable during the third quarter, TSYS' revenues from
processing services provided to TSM and TSYS' share of earnings from the
joint venture are not expected to be significant to TSYS' results of
operations for 1995.
During the second quarter of 1995, CPI obtained temporary financing in
the amount of $1,965,775 from Columbus Bank and Trust Company ("CB&T") for
the purchase of a new printing press which collateralizes the note. Interest
at CB&T's prime rate is paid monthly. No principal payment is due for a
period of one year at which time CPI plans to arrange permanent financing.
Effective July 1, 1995, a new, wholly owned subsidiary of Synovus
Financial Corp., Synovus Administrative Services Corp. ("SASC"), was formed
which is providing certain administrative services to TSYS and other related
companies. Services provided by SASC include human resources, maintenance,
security, communications, corporate education, travel and administration.
In connection with the formation of this new company, approximately 110 TSYS
employees were transferred to SASC, and TSYS sold to the new company property
and equipment at book value of approximately $438,000. TSYS is paying a
management fee to SASC which is expected to be offset by the reduction in
expenses. During the third quarter of 1995, TSYS hired approximately 100
new employees, primarily programmers; therefore, employment expenses did not
decrease in the third quarter as might be expected.
On August 7, 1995, TSYS announced the purchase of a 23-acre site in
Columbus, Georgia, which includes a new, 110,000 square foot building, for
$6.2 million. The new location will accommodate current work needs and
facilitate future growth. Modifications are currently underway to adapt the
building to TSYS' requirements, and it is expected to be ready for occupancy
in late December 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
On August 16, 1995, TSYS and Visa U.S.A. ("Visa") announced an agreement
in principle to merge their merchant processing operations. The planned
venture will form a new, stand-alone processing company to offer fully
integrated merchant transaction and related electronic information services to
financial institutions and their merchant customers. The new organization, to
be known as Vital Processing Services, will be structured with its own
management team and a separate Board of Directors. A location for Vital's
headquarters has not been determined. The two companies, TSYS and Visa, will
be equal shareholders in the joint venture. The parties are currently
negotiating a definitive agreement which is expected to be executed by early
1996. The impact of this venture on TSYS' future results of operations has not
been determined at this time.
TSYS may seek external sources of capital in the future. The Company has
a credit facility available for short-term borrowing needs with CB&T that
provides availability of $5.0 million at CB&T's prime rate of interest.
Historically, the Company has not required any short-term borrowings and has
not borrowed any significant funds on a short-term basis in 1995 and 1994.
The Company may seek long-term debt or other external sources of capital to
finance investment in software development, computer equipment, acquisitions
or other strategic alliances in the future. The form of any such financing
will vary depending upon prevailing market and other conditions and may include
short or long-term borrowings from financial institutions, or the issuance of
additional debt or equity securities. However, there can be no assurance
that funds will be available on terms acceptable to TSYS. Management expects
that TSYS will continue to be able to fund a significant portion of its capital
expenditure needs through internally generated cash in the future. At
September 30, 1995, TSYS had working capital of $40.8 million compared to
$33.4 million at December 31, 1994.
