Affinion Group, Inc. 10-K Annual Report March 2015

Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. (“Affinion Holdings” or the “Company”), the global leader in enabling companies to connect and engage with their customers, thereby creating rewarding relationships and enhancing brand loyalty, announced today the financial results for the three - and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2014 (the “fourth quarter” or “quarter” and “full year,” respectively) for itself and selected financial information for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Affinion Group, Inc. (“Affinion”).

“During the fourth quarter, we saw solid results across our businesses, highlighted by double-digit growth in our Global Loyalty segment and nearly 9% growth in our International segment as we continue to realize the benefits of strategic investments in these core growth areas,” said Todd Siegel, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Over the past year, we have positioned the company for long term success by expanding relationships, entering into new verticals and investing in our businesses. For 2015, we will continue to execute on our strategic plans and expect our Adjusted EBITDA to be flat with our 2014 results on a currency consistent basis.”

Results Highlights

Notes: Adjusted EBITDA as referred to above excludes any pro forma impact of acquisitions. See Tables 6 and 7 for a complete description of Adjusted EBITDA and the related reconciliations to GAAP measures.

Fourth Quarter Net Revenues

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 0.9%, from $311.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 to $314.6 million.

The increase in overall net revenues was due to revenue growth in Global Loyalty, International and Insurance and Package businesses, partially offset by a decrease in Membership, which continued to decline due to the previously disclosed reduction in new marketing campaigns with the Company’s large financial institution partners.

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Note (c) of Table 6) was $82.0 million as compared to $39.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 106.0%.

Segment EBITDA decreased $235.0 million as the impact of a charge for the impairment of goodwill of $292.4 million related to the Membership business was partially offset by lower marketing and commission costs, as well as lower general and administrative and operating expenses in the quarter.

As compared to Segment EBITDA, fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA reflects the exclusion of, among other items, $292.4 million related to the non-cash goodwill impairment charge, as well as $12.4 million in costs related primarily to restructuring of certain operations including related severance costs, $2.8 million in costs relating to certain litigation matters and $2.2 million of stock compensation expense.
