- Q1 2012 Adjusted EBITDA of $925,000 Exceeds Guidance of $850,000 -
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Axcess Corp (OTC Bulletin Board: GAXC; the "Company"), an independent provider of self-service kiosk solutions, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The Company also provided an outlook for the second quarter of 2012.
"We exceeded our revenue and EBITDA guidance for the first quarter and generated a new record for quarterly revenues," commented Lock Ireland, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Interim Chief Executive Officer. "The year-over-year increase was again due to strong ATM growth, both organic and acquisitive. We are benefitting from the strategic acquisitions made in the last year, as well as the additions of new ATMs installed during 2011 and the surcharge increase that we instituted in the first quarter of 2011."
Key financial and operational statistics in the first quarter of 2012 include:
ATM Business Line
- First quarter 2012 surcharge transactions increased 12.2% compared to surcharge transactions for the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased by 11.5% compared to surcharge transactions for the first quarter of 2011.
- First quarter 2012 ATM services revenue increased by 12.2% over ATM services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased by 21.6% over ATM services revenue for the first quarter of 2011.
- First quarter 2012 ATM services gross profit was $2.4 million compared to $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2011.
- First quarter 2012 ATM services adjusted EBITDA was $1.4 million, compared to $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2011.
DVD Business Line
- First quarter 2012 consolidated DVD services revenue was $1.1 million, compared to $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and compared to $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2011.
- First quarter 2012 consolidated DVD services gross profit was $226,000 compared to $253,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 and compared to $523,000 for the first quarter of 2011.
- First quarter 2012 DVD services adjusted EBITDA was $41,000 compared to $23,500 for the fourth quarter of 2011 and compared to $40,000 for the first quarter of 2011.
SG&A
- First quarter 2012 consolidated SG&A was $1.7 million or 20.9% of revenue, compared to $1.7 million or 22% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $2.0 million or 24.4% of revenue for the first quarter of 2011.
Michael Loiacono, Chief Financial Officer commented, "As disclosed previously, we did experience some margin compression in the quarter due to changes in two of our multi-year ATMs renewal contracts and integration of our latest ATM transaction acquisitions to our system. Even as we generate additional revenue, we are controlling expenses. SG&A expenses are down approximately 11%, and total operating expenses are down 19%, year over year."
Mr. Ireland concluded, "Our pipeline of ATM opportunities has never been more robust. This includes acquisition opportunities as well as organic opportunities. We are also completing RFPs (Request for Proposals), which we will bid on in the next three to six months and longer term. We signed an agreement to be the exclusive provider of ATM services to an 8,000 C-store buying group and are seeing escalating interest from the buying group's clients. We continue to work closely with The Exchange and are deploying an additional 40 DVD kiosks in selected commissaries in the U.S. In addition, we are working on setting up our first overseas deployment of DVD kiosks for the Exchange. All of these provide substantial opportunities for ATM and DVD growth in 2012 and beyond."
First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
The Company reported consolidated revenues of $8.3 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, which exceeded guidance of $8.0 million. This was up 8.6% sequentially from fourth quarter 2011 revenue of $7.6 million and up 4.4% compared to $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2011.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Information
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that the presentation of these measures and the identification of unusual, non-recurring, or non-cash items enhance an investor's understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's business and provide for better comparability between periods in different years. However, non-GAAP net income should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance because the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on results of operations. Therefore, management uses - and investors should use - non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our reported GAAP results.
EBITDA excludes interest expense, tax benefit, depreciation expenses and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA excludes impairment of assets, restructuring charges, stock compensation expense, gain on sale of assets, other non-operating expense and loss on early extinguishment of debt. Since Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain non-recurring or non-cash items, these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures employed by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
