"Due to our unrivaled network of retail partners and millions of

strengthening our businesses, while continuing to return
significant free cash flow to investors."

We will manage the business for profitability and cash flow, and we

complement digital alternatives. We fully intend to continue
meeting the entertainment needs of our customers as we maintain our
focus on providing value for all of our stakeholders."

*Beginning in the
first quarter of 2015, the company applied the two-class method of
calculating earnings per share for its GAAP results because the
impact of unvested restricted shares as a percentage of total
common shares outstanding became more dilutive given the level of
stock repurchases over the prior year. Core diluted EPS from
continuing operations continues to be reported under the treasury
stock method.
|
**Refer to Appendix A
for a discussion of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Core and
Non-Core Results.
|
2015 highlights include:
- Generated $248.5 million in free
cash flow, an increase of 3.4% from 2014, despite a 4.3% decline in
revenue as the company maintained focus on operational excellence
and expense management
- Delivered $485.3 million in core
adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which was down
$11.5 million from 2014, despite
$98.4 million less in revenue
- Repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares for $159.8 million and paid $21.3 million in cash quarterly dividends,
returning approximately 73% of free cash flow to shareholders
- Opportunistically repurchased $41.1
million in face value of the company's 5.875% Senior Notes
due 2021 in the fourth quarter
"Overall our 2015 performance reflects our ability to manage our
businesses for profitability and drive year-over-year growth in
core adjusted EPS and free cash flow through expense management,"
said Galen C. Smith, Outerwall's
chief financial officer. "At the same time, we continued to return
capital to shareholders, repurchasing 2.5 million shares and paying
$21 million in quarterly dividends.
In addition in December, we opportunistically repurchased
$41 million of our outstanding senior
notes for $35 million in cash."
Smith continued, "In 2016 we will continue to align costs with
revenue, optimize our kiosk networks and create operational
efficiencies to manage Redbox and Coinstar for profitability and
cash flow and move ecoATM to profitability. In 2016, we plan to
return 75% to 100% of annual free cash flow to investors through
share repurchases, dividends and senior note repurchases."
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
GAAP Results
The company's full-year 2015 GAAP results include a non-cash,
non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge of $85.9 million recorded in the second quarter
of 2015 related to the ecoATM segment and $27.2 million in one‑time restructuring and
related costs from continuing operations recorded over the year, as
the company continued to align costs with revenue across the
enterprise. The restructuring and related costs in 2015 reflect
$11.3 million recorded in the
fourth quarter of 2015, including costs associated with
organizational changes in the Redbox and ecoATM segments and an
$8.5 million cash payment to settle
the $15.4 million outstanding under
the $25.0 million purchase
commitment entered into as a part of the NCR asset acquisition in
2012. These costs were allocated to the lines of business and are
included in segment operating results for the fourth quarter of
2015.
For the fourth quarter of 2015, consolidated revenue was
$527.2 million, a decrease of 11.8%,
compared with $597.4 million in the
fourth quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting an $83.7 million decrease in revenue from Redbox,
partially offset by an increase in revenue of $12.1 million from ecoATM and $1.4 million from Coinstar. Consolidated revenue
was $2.2 billion for the full-year
2015, a decrease of 4.3% compared with full-year 2014.
Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2015
was $17.1 million, or $1.00 of diluted earnings from continuing
operations per common share, compared with income from continuing
operations of $51.1 million, or
$2.68 of diluted earnings from
continuing operations per common share, in the fourth quarter of
2014. The decreases were primarily due to the lower consolidated
revenue and the impact of the one-time restructuring and related
costs in the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full-year 2015, income
from continuing operations was $49.4 million, or $2.75 of diluted earnings from continuing
operations per common share, compared with $124.7 million and $5.89, respectively, for the full-year 2014.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $59.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a
decline of 54.8% compared with $131.3
million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The decline was
primarily due to the decrease in net income and an increase in net
cash outflows from changes in working capital. For the full-year
2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $326.1 million, compared with $338.4 million for the full-year 2014.
Cash capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2015
decreased 32.0% to $17.4 million
compared with $25.6 million in
the fourth quarter of 2014, due to lower purchases of property and
equipment for kiosks and corporate infrastructure. For the
full-year 2015, cash capital expenditures decreased 20.8% to
$77.6 million compared with
$97.9 million for the full-year
2014.
Core Results
Core adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the fourth
quarter of 2015 was $95.8 million, compared with $147.7 million for the fourth quarter of
2014. The $51.9 million decrease was
primarily due to lower segment operating income in the Redbox
segment. For the full-year 2015, core adjusted EBITDA from
continuing operations was $485.3 million, a $11.5 million or 2.3% decrease compared with
$496.8 million for the full-year
2014.
Core diluted EPS from continuing operations for the fourth
quarter of 2015 was $1.43, a decrease
from $2.83 for the fourth quarter of
2014. For the full-year 2015, core diluted EPS from continuing
operations was $8.77 compared with
$7.26 per diluted share for 2014.
Non-core adjustments in the fourth quarter and the full-year 2015
netted to $0.41 and $5.97, respectively, compared with $0.09 and $1.24 for
the same periods in 2014. The fourth quarter 2015 adjustments
include $0.42 in one-time
restructuring and related costs, while the full-year 2015
adjustments include $0.94 in one-time
restructuring and related costs and $4.87 in goodwill impairment related to the
ecoATM segment.
Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $41.9 million, a decrease of $63.8 million, compared with $105.7 million in the fourth quarter of
2014, primarily due to lower net operating cash flow in the fourth
quarter of 2015, partially offset by lower capital expenditures.
For the full-year 2015, free cash flow increased $8.1 million to $248.5 million, compared with $240.4 million for the full-year 2014.
SEGMENT RESULTS
Redbox
Redbox segment revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was
$407.0 million compared with
$490.7 million in the fourth
quarter of 2014. The decrease of $83.7
million reflects the impact of a 24.3% decline in movie
rentals year-over-year.
Redbox generated 135.8 million rentals in the fourth quarter of
2015, down from 179.5 million rentals in the fourth quarter of
2014. The decline in rentals reflects the impact of several
factors, including an accelerated secular decline in the physical
market, high frequency renters returning more slowly to their
normal rental patterns following successive quarters of weak
content, fewer titles available to rent in the quarter compared
with the fourth quarter of 2014, lower demand from price-sensitive
customers following the price increase, and the impact of fewer
kiosks as the company continued efforts to optimize the network by
removing underperforming kiosks. Net revenue per rental was
$2.98 in the fourth quarter of 2015,
compared with $2.73 in the fourth
quarter of 2014, primarily due to the price increase for movies and
video games.
Redbox segment operating income in the fourth quarter of 2015
was $62.6 million, a decrease of
50.2%, compared with $125.8 million in the fourth quarter of
2014. Segment operating margin was 15.4% in the fourth quarter of
2015, compared with 25.6% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The lower
margin was the result of higher content purchases and promotions
intended to bring consumers back to the kiosk after an extended
period of weak content, as well as $8.4 million, or 210 basis points of segment
operating margin, in restructuring and related costs allocated to
the segment in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Coinstar
Coinstar segment revenue increased $1.4
million, or 1.7%, to $83.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015,
compared with $81.9 million in
the fourth quarter of 2014, and same store sales increased 2.3
percentage points to 5.6% compared with the fourth quarter of
2014.
Coinstar segment operating income was $31.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015,
a decrease of $2.3 million compared
with $33.6 million in the fourth
quarter of 2014, primarily due to a $2.0
million increase in general and administrative expenses due
in part to higher technology costs and $1.5 million in one-time restructuring and
related costs, partially offset by lower costs as a result of
ongoing cost containment initiatives. As a result, Coinstar segment
operating margin decreased 350 basis points to 37.5% for the fourth
quarter of 2015, compared with 41.0% in the fourth quarter of
2014.
ecoATM
On November 10, 2015, the company
acquired certain assets and liabilities of Gazelle, Inc. for
$18.0 million in cash. The
purchase is accounted for as a business combination and the results
of operations from Gazelle are included in ecoATM segment results
from the acquisition date.
Revenue in the ecoATM segment was $36.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015,
an increase of $12.1 million or
48.9%, compared with $24.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014,
due primarily to the revenue contribution from Gazelle following
the close of the acquisition.
There were 2,250 ecoATM kiosks installed at the end of the
fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 360 kiosks from the end of
the fourth quarter of 2014. The number of value devices sold and
percentage of value devices to overall devices sold increased in
the fourth quarter compared with the fourth quarter of 2014. The
average selling price of value devices sold increased $1.93 to $61.70 in
the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $59.77 in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Segment operating loss decreased approximately $1.3 million to $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015,
compared with $8.1 million in
the fourth quarter of 2014, reflecting the company's focus on
controlling expenses and creating efficiencies. The segment
operating results include $0.6 million in one-time restructuring and
related costs and $0.3 million in
fees related to the Gazelle acquisition included in general and
administrative expense.
CAPITAL ALLOCATION
In the first quarter of 2015, the company's board of directors
initiated a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per outstanding share of our common stock
and paid a total of $21.3 million in
cash dividends in 2015. On February 3, 2016, the company's
board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.30 per share expected to be paid
on March 29, 2016, to all
stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2016.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the company repurchased
673,821 shares of common stock at an average price per share of
$53.89. For the year, the company
repurchased 2.5 million shares at an average price per share of
$63.56 for a total of $159.8 million. As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately
$256.4 million remaining under the
company's stock repurchase authorization.
In December, the company repurchased $41.1 million in face value of its 5.875% Senior
Notes due 2021 for $34.6 million
in cash. The gain from early extinguishment of these notes was
approximately $5.9 million and is
included in net interest expense.
2016 ANNUAL GUIDANCE
Outerwall provides annual guidance only and expects to update
its annual guidance as appropriate each quarter when reporting its
financial results. Due to the difficulty in forecasting as a result
of the content release schedule, accelerating secular decline, and
the company's focus on profitability and cash flow, Outerwall will
not provide revenue guidance for 2016. The company will continue to
provide guidance for core adjusted EBITDA from continuing
operations, core diluted EPS from continuing operations and free
cash flow.
There are several factors that influence the company's 2016
expectations, including the new release schedule and strength of
content for movies and video games, Redbox's success in re-engaging
consumers to rent movies, the integration of Gazelle, the
redeployment of previously manufactured ecoATM kiosks, and the
company's ability to further align costs with revenue.
Outerwall's 2016 annual guidance reflects:
- A continued focus on expense management, operational
efficiencies and network optimization across the enterprise
- Managing the Redbox business for profitability and cash flow in
the face of an estimated 15% to 20% decline in rentals from secular
decline
- Moving ecoATM to segment operating profit breakeven in
2016
Outerwall's guidance for weighted-average diluted shares
outstanding does not include the impact from any potential share
repurchases in 2016.

During 2015 we
discontinued our Redbox operations in Canada. 2014 also includes
the wind-down process of certain new ventures that were
discontinued during 2013. Cash flows from these discontinued
operations are not segregated from cash flows from continuing
operations in all periods presented.

|
The non-cash
restructuring, impairment and related costs in 2015 of $2.1
million is composed of $7.4 million in impairments of lease related
assets partially offset by a $5.3 million benefit resulting from
the lease termination. The 2013 non-cash charge represents asset
impairments of $32.7 million related to our four ventures
previously included in our former New Ventures segment, Orango,
Rubi, Crisp Market, and Star Studio, which were discontinued during
2013.

Total financing costs
associated with the Credit Facility and senior unsecured notes

Changes in our Organizational Structure
We regularly assess the performance of our concepts to determine
whether continued funding or other alternatives are appropriate and
as a result, we discontinued operating SAMPLEit in the
fourth quarter of 2015. As SAMPLEit did not represent a
major component of our operations or financial results, the results
of SAMPLEit did not qualify to be reported as a discontinued
operation and remain in our All Other reporting category.
During the first quarter of 2015, we added ecoATM, our
electronic device recycling business, as a separate reportable
segment. Previously, the results of ecoATM along with those of
other self-service concepts were included in our former New
Ventures segment. The combined results of the other self-service
concepts are now included in our All Other reporting category in
the reconciliation below, as they do not meet quantitative
thresholds to be reported as a separate segment. All goodwill
previously allocated to the New Ventures segment has been allocated
to the ecoATM segment.
Results of operations for Gazelle from the acquisition date,
November 10, 2015, are included in
our ecoATM segment.
Comparability of Segment Results
We have recast prior period results for the following:
- Discontinued operations, consisting of our Redbox operations in
Canada which we shut down during
the first quarter of 2015; and
- The addition of our ecoATM segment and our All Other reporting
category, which we added during the first quarter of 2015.
Our analysis and reconciliation of our segment information to
the consolidated financial statements that follows covers our
results of operations, which consists of our Redbox, Coinstar and
ecoATM segments, Corporate Unallocated expenses and our All Other
reporting category. All Other includes the results of other
self-service concepts, which we regularly assess to determine
whether continued funding or other alternatives are
appropriate.

APPENDIX A
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP measures may be provided as a complement to results
provided in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP").
We use the following non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our
financial results:
- Core adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations;
- Core diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing
operations;
- Free cash flow; and
- Net debt and net leverage ratio.
These measures, the definitions of which are presented below,
are non-GAAP because they exclude certain amounts which are
included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures
are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
our GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable with
similarly titled measures of other companies.
Core and Non-Core Results
We distinguish our core activities, those associated with our
primary operations which we directly control, from non‑core
activities. Non-core activities are primarily nonrecurring events
or events we do not directly control. Our non‑core adjustments for
the periods presented include i) goodwill impairment, ii)
restructuring costs (including severance and contract termination
costs, that include early lease terminations and the related asset
impairments) associated with actions to reduce costs in our
continuing operations across the Company, iii) acquisition costs
related to the acquisition of Gazelle, iv) compensation expense for
rights to receive cash issued in conjunction with our acquisition
of ecoATM and attributable to post-combination services as they are
fixed amount acquisition related awards and not indicative of the
directly controllable future business results, v) income or loss
from equity method investments, which represents our share of
income or loss from entities we do not consolidate or control, vi)
gain on bargain purchase of Gazelle, vii) tax benefits related to a
net operating loss adjustment and a worthless stock deduction
("Non-Core Adjustments").
We believe investors should consider our core results because
they are more indicative of our ongoing performance and trends, are
more consistent with how management evaluates our operational
results and trends, provide meaningful supplemental information to
investors through the exclusion of certain expenses which are
either nonrecurring or may not be indicative of our directly
controllable business operating results, allow for greater
transparency in assessing our performance, help investors better
analyze the results of our business and assist in forecasting
future periods.
Core Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations
Our non-GAAP financial measure core adjusted EBITDA from
continuing operations is defined as earnings from continuing
operations before depreciation, amortization and other; interest
expense, net; income taxes; share-based payments expense; and
Non-Core Adjustments.
A reconciliation of core adjusted EBITDA from continuing
operations to net income from continuing operations, the most
comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the following
table:

Free Cash Flow
Our non-GAAP financial measure free cash flow is defined as net
cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures.
We believe free cash flow is an important non-GAAP measure as it
provides additional information to users of the financial
statements regarding our ability to service, incur or pay down
indebtedness and repurchase our securities. A reconciliation of
free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, the
most comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the
following table:

Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio
Our non-GAAP financial measure net debt is defined as the total
face value of outstanding debt, including capital leases, less cash
and cash equivalents held in financial institutions domestically.
Our non-GAAP financial measure net leverage ratio is defined as net
debt divided by core adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for
the last twelve months (LTM). We believe net debt and net leverage
ratio are important non-GAAP measures because they:
- are used to assess the degree of leverage by management;
- provide additional information to users of the financial
statements regarding our ability to service, incur or pay down
indebtedness and repurchase our securities as well as additional
information about our capital structure; and
- are reported quarterly to support covenant compliance under our
credit agreement.
A reconciliation of net debt to total outstanding debt including
capital leases, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is
presented in the following table:
