TTM earnings up 25.7%, five year trend still soft
- Over the last twelve months, net income reached US$141.6 million and basic EPS was US$2.22, compared with US$112.6 million and US$1.75 a year earlier, which lines up with the 25.7% earnings growth figure in the analysis.
- Analysts' consensus view sees strong digital payment adoption and wider financial inclusion as long term growth drivers. However, the 6% average annual decline in earnings over five years shows that, so far, the recent US$141.6 million result is more of a rebound than a clear multi year uptrend.
- Supporters of the bullish story can point to the lift from US$845.5 million to US$931.8 million in trailing revenue and higher profitability as evidence that the current business mix is generating more earnings power.
- At the same time, the consensus narrative about benefits from tech modernization and acquisitions sits alongside that 6% five year earnings decline, which reminds you to check whether the latest growth is coming from durable drivers or short term factors.
Margins and debt pull in opposite directions
- The trailing net margin is 15.2%, up from 13.3% last year, while the company is flagged as carrying a high level of debt, so profitability and leverage are moving in different directions in the risk summary.
- Bears focus on that debt load and ongoing heavy tech spending, arguing it could squeeze free cash flow if revenue growth slips from the recent US$931.8 million trailing level. Yet the margin move from 13.3% to 15.2% shows the business has recently been able to cover those investments from a wider profit base.
- Critics highlight projected revenue growth of about 7.6% per year as being slower than the broader US market, which could matter if interest costs stay high relative to operating profit.
- What cuts against the bearish worry is that net income grew faster than revenue over the past year, from US$112.6 million to US$141.6 million on sales that rose from US$845.5 million to US$931.8 million, indicating management has, at least recently, turned more of each dollar of sales into profit.
P/E of 12.8x with DCF fair value at US$64.00
- EVERTEC trades on a trailing P/E of 12.8x, below both its peers at 17.8x and the US Diversified Financial industry at 16.6x, and also below a DCF fair value estimate of US$64.00 versus the current share price of US$28.31.
- Bullish investors argue that growing transaction volumes and acquisitions in markets like Brazil and Mexico are not fully reflected in that 12.8x multiple, and the gap between US$28.31 and the US$64.00 DCF fair value is one reason they see upside if the earnings story holds together.
- Consensus narrative points to expanding value added services and ongoing tech upgrades as drivers that could support higher earnings on top of the current US$141.6 million trailing net income base.
- At the same time, revenue and earnings forecasts running below the US market show why the shares may sit on a discount P/E, so the bullish case leans heavily on the idea that the company can keep widening margins from the current 15.2% level.
