In aggregate, these items negatively impacted full-year 2019 Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow by approximately $18.3 million.

Defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

  • Fourth-quarter 2019 GAAP fully diluted net earnings per share of $0.20, up $0.23 from the prior year; non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share of $0.22, up $0.28 from the prior year
  • Fourth-quarter 2019 operating cash flow of $58.7 million, up 5.0% from the prior year; free cash flow of $49.0 million, up 17.8% from the prior year
  • Record quarterly software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) net sales of $49.8 million, up 7.9% from the prior year; SaaS net sales accounted for 26.2% of total fourth-quarter 2019 net sales
  • Fourth-quarter 2019 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.7%, up 400 basis points from the prior year, primarily due to continued focus on cost controls and an improved business mix
  • Completed the sale of Secaucus, NJ facility and sold a portion of certain equity investments in 2019, generating $43.4 million of cash proceeds (approximately $29.7 million after taxes and fees associated with the 2019 sale transactions)
  • Reduced total debt by $66.7 million during 2019, paying off term loan; ended the year with total debt of $296.0 million and $17.2 million of cash and cash equivalents
  • Company announces $25 million common stock repurchase program
  • Company issues full-year 2020 guidance

“We are pleased to see the reacceleration in SaaS net sales growth in the fourth quarter. ActiveDisclosure again led the way, growing more than 20%, while adding dozens of new clients. SaaS made up 26.2% of fourth-quarter total net sales, up from 23.0% in last year’s fourth quarter, showing positive momentum heading into 2020,” said Daniel N. Leib, DFIN’s president and chief executive officer.

Leib continued, “Together our team addressed a challenging M&A environment this year, which significantly impacted our capital markets transactional business, rationalizing costs and improving consolidated fourth-quarter 2019 non-GAAP EBITDA margin to 13.7%, compared to 9.7% in the fourth-quarter of 2018, all while either maintaining or improving market share. Looking forward, as the market leader, we remain poised to capitalize on a rebound in capital markets transactional activity in 2020 and beyond.”

“We remain steadfast in executing our long-term strategy to transition our traditional clients to software-first solutions, introduce new solutions to market, and continue to maintain share elsewhere in our portfolio. This strategy is focused on sustainable EBITDA and free cash flow growth through incremental SaaS sales and increased profitability from our traditional businesses through planned efficiencies. Additionally, we continue to look to deploy capital in ways that will generate long-term value for shareholders. As such, our board authorized a $25 million stock repurchase program, reflecting our deep belief in the intrinsic value of the company,” Leib concluded.

Net Sales

Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2019 were $190.3 million, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 5.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2018. After adjusting for the 2018 acquisition of eBrevia and changes in foreign exchange rates, organic net sales decreased 5.2% from the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease was driven largely by lower capital markets transactions and compliance volume, as well as lower mutual fund print volume, which was partially offset by growth in SaaS solutions, primarily in ActiveDisclosure and FundSuiteArc.

GAAP Net Earnings

Fourth-quarter 2019 net earnings were $7.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.03 loss per diluted share, in the fourth-quarter of 2018. The fourth quarter 2019 net earnings included an after-tax unrealized and realized gain of $9.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in part related to the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in AuditBoard; an after-tax loss of $3.1 million related to the extinguishment of the term loan, or $0.09 loss per diluted share; and other items totaling $7.2 million, or $0.21 loss per diluted share. The fourth-quarter 2018 net losses included various items totaling $1.1 million, or $0.03 loss per diluted share, all of which are excluded from the presentation of non-GAAP net earnings. Additional details regarding the amount and nature of these and other items are included in the attached schedules.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Net Earnings

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $26.1 million, compared to $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 13.7%, an improvement of 400 basis points versus the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the impact of cost savings initiatives and improved business mix.

Non-GAAP net earnings totaled $7.6 million, or $0.22 earnings per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.06 loss per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2018. Reconciliations of net earnings to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, are presented in the attached schedules.

Sale of the Language Solutions Business

On July 22, 2018, the Company sold its Language Solutions business for net proceeds of $77.5 million in cash. On a full-year basis for 2019, the sale negatively impacts the year-over-year net sales comparison by $41.8 million and negatively impacts the gross profit and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA comparisons by approximately $12.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, inclusive of estimated net stranded costs. The Language Solutions business did not impact the year-over-year comparisons in the fourth-quarter of 2019.

Share Repurchase Program

Today the Company announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25 million of the Company's outstanding common stock from time to time in one or more transactions on the open market or in privately negotiated purchases. The stock repurchase program will be effective through December 31, 2021.

The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company's management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Excludes the impact of potential share repurchases

Certain components of the guidance given above are provided on a non-GAAP basis only, without providing a reconciliation to guidance provided on a GAAP basis. Information is presented in this manner, consistent with SEC rules, because the preparation of such a reconciliation could not be accomplished without “unreasonable efforts.” The Company does not have access to certain information that would be necessary to provide such a reconciliation, including non-recurring items that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, impairment charges, gains or losses on investments and other similar gains or losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. The Company does not believe that this information is likely to be significant to an assessment of the Company’s ongoing operations, given that it is not an indicator of business performance.

Use of non-GAAP Information

This news release contains certain non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP SG&A, non-GAAP SG&A as % of total net sales, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow and organic net sales. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and liquidity and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses these measures, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business.

The Company’s non-GAAP statement of operations measures, non-GAAP SG&A, non-GAAP SG&A as % of total net sales, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, are adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of expenses associated with the Company’s acquisition activities, spin-off related expenses, non-recurring investor-related fees, share-based compensation and eliminate potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures, taxation positions or regimes, restructuring, impairment and other charges and gain or loss on certain equity investments and asset sales.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. By adjusting for the level of capital investment in operations, the Company believes that free cash flow can provide useful additional basis for understanding the Company’s ability to generate cash after capital investment and provides a comparison to peers with differing capital intensity.

Organic net sales is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as reported net sales adjusted for the changes in foreign exchange rates and the purchase or disposition of businesses.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures are defined differently by different companies in our industry and, accordingly, such measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This news release includes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of, and subject to the safe harbor created by, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the business, strategy and plans of DFIN and its expectations relating to future financial condition and performance. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about DFIN management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "aims," "potential," "will," "would," "could," "considered," "likely," "estimate" and variations of these words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. While DFIN believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond DFIN’s control. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from DFIN’s current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting the business and risks associated with the performance of the business. These factors include such risks and uncertainties detailed in DFIN periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed under "Risk Factors" in DFIN's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, those discussed under “Cautionary Statement” in DFIN’s quarterly Form 10-Q filings, and in other investor communications of DFIN’s from time to time. DFIN does not undertake to and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Net earnings per diluted share totals may not foot due to rounding.

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful because that information is an appropriate measure for evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Internally, the Company uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates management’s effectiveness with specific reference to this indicator. These measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1)

 

The Company has a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility is subject to a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Leverage Ratio, both as defined and calculated in the Company’s credit agreement. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2019. Based on the Company’s results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and existing debt, the Company would have had the ability to utilize an incremental $231.6 million of the $300.0 million Revolving Facility and not have been in violation of the terms of the agreement.

 

 

 

(2)

 

Approximately 36% of cash as of December 31, 2019 and 37% of cash as of December 31, 2018 was located outside of the U.S. The Company repatriated excess cash at its foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.
