"Outerwall achieved strong results in the second quarter, underscoring our ability to generate continued profitability and cash flow, and deliver shareholder value," said Erik E. Prusch, chief executive officer. "Our second quarter results reflect solid execution company-wide, with improved sequential results at Redbox and the highest second quarter revenue in Coinstar's 25-year history. We also made substantial progress at ecoATM and continue to expect the business to achieve segment operating profitability for 2016."

Prusch continued, "Earlier this week we announced that we completed our comprehensive process reviewing alternatives to maximize value for all shareholders and reached an agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management. We are pleased with the agreement and the immediate and substantial cash premium it provides to our shareholders, and look forward to working with Apollo to continue serving our millions of loyal customers and unparalleled network of retail partners."

Outerwall's GAAP results for the second quarter of 2015 include the impact of a non-cash, non-tax deductible charge for goodwill impairment of $85.9 million related to its ecoATM business segment. The company's Core results exclude the impact of the impairment charge as a non-core adjustment.

    ***              Beginning in the first quarter
                     of 2016, to better align with
                     our GAAP presentation of EPS,
                     we adjusted our non-GAAP
                     financial measure of core
                     diluted EPS from continuing
                     operations to be defined as
                     diluted earnings per share from
                     continuing operations utilizing
                     the two-class method excluding
                     non-core adjustments, net of
                     applicable taxes. Historically,
                     we had defined this measure
                     using diluted earnings per
                     share from continuing
                     operations utilizing the
                     treasury stock method excluding
                     non-core adjustments, net of
                     applicable taxes. Prior period
                     results have been updated to
                     reflect this change.

Highlights from the second quarter 2016 include:


    --  Delivered $115.9 million in core adjusted EBITDA from continuing
        operations, down $6.0 million from the second quarter of 2015, despite
        $27.3 million in lower revenue
    --  Produced $2.41 in core diluted EPS from continuing operations
    --  Generated $60.1 million in free cash flow
    --  Distributed $10.2 million in quarterly cash dividends
    --  Repurchased $2.6 million in face value of 2021 Notes and reduced the
        outstanding balance on its credit facility by $44.7 million

"We generated solid margins and strong profitability in the second quarter by continuing to align expenses with revenue across the enterprise," said Galen C. Smith, chief financial officer of Outerwall Inc. "During the quarter, we continued our disciplined expense management and reduced operating costs, G&A and marketing expenses while improving overall productivity. In line with our commitment to return substantial free cash flow to our investors, we distributed $10.2 million in cash dividends, opportunistically repurchased $2.6 million in face value of our senior notes, and further reduced the outstanding balance on our credit facility by $44.7 million."

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

GAAP Results

In the second quarter of 2016, consolidated revenue was $518.0 million, a decrease of $27.3 million, or 5.0%, compared with $545.4 million in the second quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting a $49.9 million decrease in Redbox revenue, partially offset by an $18.7 million increase in revenue from ecoATM and a $3.9 million increase from Coinstar.

Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 was $40.5 million, or $2.38 of diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share, compared with a $47.4 million loss from continuing operations, or a $2.66 loss per common share, in the second quarter of 2015. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 increased $2.0 million from the second quarter of 2015, excluding the $85.9 million goodwill impairment charge recognized in the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to a $4.2 million decrease in operating loss from ecoATM, a $4.5 million decrease in operating loss in the All Other reporting category related to the shutdown of SAMPLEit in the fourth quarter of 2015, and a $2.1 million increase in operating income from Coinstar, partially offset by a $5.6 million decrease in operating income from Redbox. The $1.9 million decrease in net interest expense due to lower outstanding borrowings and gain from early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2016 partially offset the higher income tax expense in the second quarter of 2016.

In the second quarter of 2016, net cash flows provided by operating activities was $75.0 million, compared with $75.1 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Cash capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2016 decreased $4.6 million, or 23.5%, to $14.9 million, compared with $19.5 million in the second quarter of 2015, with the decrease primarily related to reduced spending on property and equipment for kiosks.

Core Results

In the second quarter of 2016, core adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $115.9 million, a decrease of $6.0 million, compared with $121.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to lower segment operating income in the Redbox segment, partially offset by decreased segment operating losses in the ecoATM segment and All Other reporting category and an increase in segment operating income in the Coinstar segment.

Core diluted EPS from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 was $2.41, an increase of 9.5% compared with $2.20 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to a reduction in the number of weighted average shares used in the diluted per share calculation due to stock repurchases in the second half of 2015.

Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2016 was $60.1 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 8.0%, compared with $55.6 million in the second quarter of 2015, driven primarily by lower capital expenditures.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Redbox

Redbox segment revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $389.1 million, compared with $439.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. Revenue decreased $49.9 million, or 11.4%, primarily due to a $42.8 million decrease from a 10.0% decline in same store sales reflecting lower total disc rentals primarily driven by a higher impact from secular decline in the physical market on movie rentals in the second quarter of 2016, compared with the second quarter of 2015. Kiosks removed or relocated subsequent to the second quarter of 2015 accounted for $7.1 million of the decline in revenue as the company continued its efforts to optimize its kiosk network by removing underperforming kiosks. The decline in revenue was partially offset by an increase in video game rentals as the market penetration of new generation game consoles continued to increase, and a 44.5% higher total box office of movie titles released in the second quarter of 2016, including one title that represented 30.9% of the total box office.

Redbox generated approximately 123.6 million rentals in the second quarter of 2016, down from approximately 146.0 million rentals in the second quarter of 2015.

Net revenue per rental was $3.13 in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $3.00 in the second quarter of 2015. The $0.13 increase in net revenue per rental was primarily due to lower promotional spend as compared with the second quarter of 2015 and higher video game rentals.

Redbox segment operating income in the second quarter of 2016 was $82.1 million, a decrease of $16.9 million, or 17.0%, compared with $98.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue described above, partially offset by a decrease in other direct operating expenses, primarily due to lower contractual fees paid to retail partners due to lower revenue and lower credit card fees driven by lower rental volume. The decline in revenue was further offset by lower movie content costs primarily due to content mix and fewer locations as compared with the second quarter of 2015, as the company continued to remove underperforming kiosks to maximize profitability, and a $3.0 million decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily related to ongoing cost reduction initiatives. Segment operating margin was 21.1% in the second quarter of 2016, compared with 22.5% in the second quarter of 2015. Sequentially, Redbox segment operating margin increased 110 basis points from 20.0% in the first quarter of 2016, reflecting an increase in gross margin, lower credit card fees and retailer revenue share rates, and savings in general and administrative expense due to restructuring actions taken in the first quarter of 2016.

Coinstar

Coinstar segment revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $84.2 million, compared with $80.3 million in the second quarter of 2015. Revenue increased $3.9 million, or 4.8%, primarily due to continued strength in the core U.S. business, while foreign exchange rates continued to negatively impact revenue in the U.K. and Canada in the second quarter of 2016. The average transaction size increased $2.43, or 5.6% on a year-over-year basis, to $45.46, while the total number of transactions decreased slightly.

Coinstar segment operating income was $33.2 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.3 million, or 3.9%, compared with $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. Coinstar segment operating margin declined 40 basis points to 39.4% for the second quarter of 2016, compared with 39.8% for the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to an increase in direct operating expenses associated with the higher revenue discussed above. General and administrative expenses also increased in the second quarter of 2016, as the result of increased corporate allocations associated with the increase in Coinstar's proportionate share of the company's total revenue compared to the second quarter of 2015, partially offset by ongoing cost reduction initiatives in the segment.

The company continues to expand its testing of Coinstar kiosks in Spain as part of its efforts to explore further international opportunities.

ecoATM

Revenue in the ecoATM segment increased $18.7 million, or 71.9%, to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to revenue included in the second quarter of 2016 from devices acquired and sold through Gazelle. The results of Gazelle have also favorably impacted the mix of value devices and the average selling price of value devices sold. The average selling price of value devices sold increased $2.81 to $64.53, compared with $61.72 for the second quarter of 2015.

In the second quarter of 2016, ecoATM segment operating loss decreased to $700,000, which included $384,000 of restructuring and related costs, compared with a loss of $92.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the $85.9 million goodwill impairment charge recognized in the second quarter of 2015, the segment operating loss in the second quarter of 2016 was reduced by $6.3 million, or 89.9%, as the growth in revenue outpaced the increase in direct operating expenses, primarily due to operating efficiencies, ongoing cost reduction initiatives, and synergies recognized as a result of the Gazelle acquisition. The business unit continues to be on track to achieve segment operating profitability for 2016.

CAPITAL ALLOCATION

During the second quarter of 2016, the company repurchased $2.6 million in face value of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2021 for $2.2 million, reducing the outstanding principal balance to $228.6 million. The gain from early extinguishment of these notes reduced net interest expense by approximately $418,000 in the quarter. In addition to the notes repurchased, the company also reduced the outstanding balance on its credit facility by $44.7 million.

On June 21, 2016, the company paid a cash dividend of $0.60 per outstanding share of its common stock totaling approximately $10.2 million. On July 24, 2016, the company's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.60 per share to be paid on September 6, 2016, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 23, 2016.

As a result of the pending transaction with Apollo Global Management, there will not be additional repurchases of common stock or senior notes.

THE APOLLO ACQUISITION

On July 24, 2016, the company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with affiliates of certain funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (Apollo), whereby the company would be acquired by an Apollo affiliate in an all cash transaction, consisting of a tender offer, followed by a subsequent back-end merger. Under the terms of the merger agreement, an Apollo affiliate would soon commence a cash tender offer for all of the company's outstanding shares of common stock at a purchase price of $52.00 per share, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes. The consummation of the tender offer is conditioned on shares of common stock having been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn that represent, together with the shares of common stock then owned by the Apollo affiliate, of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares, the expiration or early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust waiting period and various other conditions. In addition, other than the company's regular quarterly cash dividend for the third quarter of 2016, the company is restricted from declaring or paying any dividend or distribution and authorizing or making any capital stock repurchases.

After closing the tender offer, subject to meeting certain customary conditions in the merger agreement, the company merger will be effected without a meeting or vote of the company's stockholders. At merger closing, shares of common stock then issued and outstanding will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $52.00, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes. After the closing of the merger, the company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of an Apollo affiliate and will cease to be a publicly-traded company.

For more detailed information about the transaction, please see our filings with the SEC as well as all materials filed relating to the tender offer.

Comparability of Results

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.

On November 10, 2015, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of Gazelle, Inc. ("Gazelle"). Results of operations for Gazelle are included in ecoATM for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

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 All Other. 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 may include 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 early lease termination costs, and the related asset impairments) associated with actions to reduce costs in our continuing operations across the company, iii) 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, and iv) loss from equity method investments, which represents our share of loss from entities we do not consolidate or control ("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:

Core Diluted EPS from continuing operations

Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, to align better with our GAAP presentation of EPS, we adjusted our non-GAAP financial measure of core diluted EPS from continuing operations to be defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations utilizing the two class method excluding non-core adjustments, net of applicable taxes. Historically we had defined this measure using diluted earnings per share from continuing operations utilizing the treasury stock method excluding non-core adjustments, net of applicable taxes. Prior period results have been updated to reflect this change.

A reconciliation of core diluted EPS from continuing operations to diluted EPS 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.
