Blackhawk Network Announces Launch of Blackhawk Engagement Solutions finance.yahoo.com "Blackhawk Network is a leader in providing unique and easily accessible prepaid and egift content. It was natural for us to extend our solutions beyond retail with the incentives marketplace where we meet needs of consumers, employees and business partners," said Talbott Roche, Blackhawk Network's president. "According to Mercator Advisory Group, the incentives space was an estimated $41 billion industry in 2014, so this expands our addressable market considerably, and allows us to further leverage our deep expertise in prepaid cards." "At a time when businesses increasingly rely on incentives to change behaviors and motivate people, Blackhawk Engagement Solutions provides a comprehensive suite of tailored incentive and engagement solutions that can cause beneficial change in the behavior of their consumers, employees and sales channels," said Juli Spottiswood, senior vice president and general manager of Blackhawk Engagement Solutions. "In addition to our varied product offerings, we plan to continue to regularly conduct research identifying the best opportunities to drive innovation and thought leadership so that we may deliver clients the most relevant solutions and best user experience for a good value."

Blackhawk Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results finance.yahoo.com "Our existing businesses performed very well in 2014," commented CEO Bill Tauscher. "Excluding acquisitions, transaction dollar volume growth was 25% in the fourth quarter and 26% for full year 2014, a strong acceleration from 2013 where transaction dollar volume growth excluding acquisitions was 13% in the fourth quarter and 15% for the full year. This was driven by strong sales of open loop gift cards in the U.S. and international sales of digital media products. International accounted for 20% of total transaction dollar volume during the fourth quarter and 21% of total transaction dollar volume for fiscal 2014. Our full year adjusted operating revenue growth of 31% was bolstered by the InteliSpend and Retailo acquisitions which added a combined $61 million of adjusted operating revenues in fiscal 2014. GAAP operating revenues for fiscal 2014 totaled $1.44 billion, a 27% increase over 2013." CFO Jerry Ulrich added, "Our bottom line results for the year slightly exceeded our expectations. Excluding the $27 million reduction in cash taxes payable, full year 2014 adjusted net income was $69.2 million, up 20% from 2013, and full year 2014 adjusted diluted EPS was $1.27, up 17% from 2013. We had originally projected that our late 2014 acquisition of Parago would contribute an additional $0.02 of adjusted diluted EPS in the fourth quarter, however, actual Parago results were virtually earnings neutral, net of final acquisition costs and interest expense. Including the $27 million reduction in cash taxes payable, full year 2014 Adjusted Net Income totaled $96.5 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, an increase of 63% compared to 2013. GAAP net income was $45.5 million for the year, a 16% decline from 2013 due mainly to various acquisition-related, non-cash items."

"In our U.S. retail segment, which accounted for 64% of adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating revenues grew 33% over last year's first quarter. This reflected strong sales of closed and open loop gift cards. International retail adjusted operating revenues grew 5%, or 19% on a constant currency basis, driven by sales of digital media products. In our incentives and rewards segment transaction dollar volume grew 294% primarily reflecting the acquisition of Parago, or 45% excluding 2014 acquisitions. Incentives and rewards, which generated 22% of worldwide adjusted operating revenues, grew its adjusted operating revenues 279%, or 47% excluding 2014 acquisitions. That brought Company-wide adjusted operating revenues to $164 million for the quarter, a 48% increase over the same period last year."
