“We are pleased to announce that the acquisition of Speedpay will close today and we are updating our full year 2019 outlook,” commented Phil Heasley, President and CEO, ACI Worldwide. “The addition of Speedpay is strategically compelling and is expected to provide notable financial benefits, including increases in recurring revenue and net adjusted EBITDA margin in our On Demand business. We welcome the talented Speedpay employees and valuable customers. Looking to the rest of 2019 and beyond, with a strong new bookings pipeline, our improving AOD operations, and the addition of Speedpay, ACI is poised to capitalize even more quickly on the growing global payment transaction opportunity.”
Q1 2019 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
In Q1 2019, new bookings were $70 million, which was down when compared to our record bookings quarter in Q1 last year.
News Release
In Q1 2019, revenue was $206 million, versus $209 million in Q1 2018. Net loss in the quarter was $26 million, versus a net loss of $19 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $8 million, versus $19 million in Q1 2018.
In Q1 2019, revenue from ACI’s On Demand segment was $110 million, up 5% from $104 million last year. On Demand segment net adjusted EBITDA margin improved 600 basis points from last year. On Demand segment net adjusted EBITDA margins are adjusted for pass through interchange revenue of $45 million and $40 million, for Q1 2019 and Q1 2018, respectively. ACI’s On Premise segment revenue was $96 million, versus $105 million last year due to timing of nonrecurring license fees. On Premise segment adjusted EBITDA margin was 29% in Q1 2019 versus 37% in Q1 2018.
ACI ended Q1 2019 with a 12-month backlog of $813 million and a 60-month backlog of $4.2 billion. After adjusting for foreign currency fluctuations, our 12-month backlog increased $3 million and our 60-month backlog decreased $22 million from Q4 2018.
Cash flows from operating activities in Q1 2019 were $42 million, versus $45 million in Q1 2018. Adjusted operating free cash flow in Q1 2019 was $35 million, versus $36 million in Q1 2018. ACI ended Q1 2019 with $176 million in cash on hand, up from $149 million in Q4 2018, and a debt balance of $679 million. The company has $176 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization.
GUIDANCE
We are updating our outlook for the full year 2019 and 2020 given the contribution from Speedpay. We expect Speedpay to contribute between $215 million and $220 million in revenue and between $50 million and $55 million in adjusted EBITDA to the remainder of 2019. We expect Speedpay to contribute $90 million to $95 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2020. We now expect 2019 total revenue to be between $1.315 billion and $1.345 billion and adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $360 million to $380 million, which excludes between $30 million and $35 million in significant transaction related expenses. This is up from our prior guidance of $1.1 billion to $1.125 billion and $310 million to $325 million for
revenue and adjusted EBITDA, respectively. We expect Q2 2019 revenue to be between $280 and $290 million. We continue to expect full year 2019 new bookings growth to be in the upper single digits to low double digits.
We now expect our 2020 adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $425 million to $445 million, up from the prior outlook of $335 million to $350 million.
