“We are experiencing an inflection point in the unattended retail payments market with our cashless-payment solutions while achieving record revenue and integrating an acquisition,” said Stephen P. Herbert, USA Technologies’ chairman and chief executive officer. “With the introduction of our ePort Interactive Service, our most progressive solution to date, our customers now can leverage a content delivery platform to directly engage with their customers. Additionally, the Premium Support Service continues to incentivize operators to move to cashless payments at 100% of their locations, which proliferates the acceptance of cashless payments in the self-service retail market. We view the broadening adoption of cashless payment solutions, coupled with our continued growth, as validation that USAT is positioned as the clear leader in the self-service retail market.”

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

For full fiscal year 2016, management raised its expectations for connections and revenue, and it now expects to add between 93,000 and 95,000 net new connections for the year, bringing total connections to our service to a range of 426,000 to 428,000 and expects total revenue to be between $76 million and $78 million. Additionally, the company anticipates that QuickStart will remain a popular program for customers, and management expects it to drive positive cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2016. We also expect to have year-over-year increases of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income.

Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of USAT's management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to USAT's management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to, the ability of management to accurately predict or forecast future financial results, including earnings or taxable income of USAT; the incurrence by USAT of any unanticipated or unusual non-operational expenses which would require us to divert our cash resources from achieving our business plan; the ability of USAT to retain key customers from whom a significant portion of its revenues is derived; the ability of USAT to compete with its competitors to obtain market share; whether USAT's customers continue to utilize USAT's transaction processing and related services, as our customer agreements are generally cancelable by the customer on thirty to sixty days' notice; the ability of USAT to raise funds in the future through the sales of securities or debt financings in order to sustain its operations if an unexpected or unusual non-operational event would occur; the ability of USAT to use available data to predict future market conditions, consumer behavior and any level of cashless usage; the ability to prevent a security breach of our systems or services or third party services or systems utilized by us; whether any patents issued to USAT will provide USAT with any competitive advantages or adequate protection for its products, or would be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others; the ability of USAT to operate without infringing or violating the intellectual property rights of others; whether USAT would be able to sell sufficient ePort hardware to third party leasing companies as part of the QuickStart program in order to continue to increase cash flows from operations; whether USAT’s ongoing remediation of a material weakness that USAT identified in its internal controls over financial reporting, and which was reflected in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, would be effective; whether USAT experiences additional material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting in the future, and USAT is not able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations; and whether USAT's existing or anticipated customers purchase, rent or utilize ePort devices or our other products or services in the future at levels currently anticipated by USAT.

NEW ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION

Commencing with the September 30, 2015 financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it presents certain uncollected customer accounts receivable and the related allowance in its consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of cash flows. These accounts receivable represent a large number of small balance amounts due from customers for processing and service fees which had not been billed to customers, and as to which, there had been no customer transaction proceeds from which the Company could collect the amounts due in accordance with its normal procedures. The previous accounting classification recorded these amounts as a reduction of its accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of cash flows. The new accounting classification moves these amounts to accounts receivable and allowance for bad debt.

Accordingly, the respective balances for all prior periods presented in these financial statements were reclassified in order to be consistent and comparable to the accounting treatment of these items in our March 31, 2016 financial statements. The new accounting classification as well as the reclassification for prior periods had no effect on the consolidated statements of operations or the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations between non-GAAP and GAAP measures are set forth above in Financial Schedules (E) and (J).

The following non-GAAP financial measures are discussed herein: adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share – basic and diluted. The presentation of these additional financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or superior to, or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), including the net income or net loss of USAT. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with USAT's net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by or defined under GAAP and may be materially different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. USAT has provided above in Financial Schedules (E) and (J) the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

As used herein, non-GAAP net income represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding costs or benefits relating to any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities, non-cash portions of the Company’s income tax benefit (provision), non-recurring professional service fees recorded in SG&A during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that were incurred in connection with the VendScreen transaction, non-recurring costs and expenses recorded in SG&A during the quarter ended March 2016 that were incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of the VendScreen business, and professional fees incurred during the March 31, 2016 quarter in connection with the class action litigation. Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted are important measures of USAT's business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors' overall understanding of our current and future financial performance. Additionally, the Company utilizes non-GAAP net income as a metric in its management and executive officer incentive compensation plans.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring professional service fees recorded in SG&A during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that were incurred in connection with the VendScreen transaction, non-recurring costs and expenses recorded in SG&A during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that were incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of the VendScreen business, professional fees incurred during the March 31, 2016 quarter in connection with the class action litigation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-operating item, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, because it represents a non-cash gain or (charge) that is not related to USAT's operations. We have excluded the non-cash expense, stock-based compensation, as it does not reflect the cash-based operations of USAT. We have excluded the nonrecurring costs and expenses incurred in connection with the VendScreen transaction in order to allow more accurate comparisons of the financial results to historical operations. We have excluded the professional fees incurred in connection with the class action litigation because we believe they represent a charge that is not related to USAT’s operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance. Additionally, the Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as a metric in its management and executive officer incentive compensation plans.
