Evertec (NYSE:EVTC) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.02 EPS

Evertec (NYSE:EVTC) posted its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The business services provider reported $0.93 EPS for the quarter, beating analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.91 by $0.02, FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $244.83 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $236.83 million. Evertec had a net margin of 16.17% and a return on equity of 34.79%. The firm’s revenue was up 13.1% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same period in the prior year, the business posted $0.87 EPS. Evertec updated its FY 2026 guidance to 3.840-3.960 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Evertec’s conference call:

• EVERTEC delivered a record year with $932 million in revenue (up ~10% YoY), $373.4 million adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS of $3.62, each rising about 10% versus 2024.
• Latin America is the main growth engine — Latin America Payments & Solutions grew ~22% YoY, with Brazil re-accelerating and a strong pipeline highlighted by wins like Banco de Chile and Grupo Aval.
• Management is executing on M&A and shareholder returns — closed the Tecnobank deal, expects to close Dimensa in Q2, repurchased ~$66 million in Q4 and refreshed the buyback authorization to $150 million.
• Business Solutions showed weakness (Q4 revenue down ~7%) and margins were pressured by the 10% discount to Banco Popular plus higher operating costs (cloud and POS repairs), weighing on segment and Puerto Rico profitability.
• 2026 guidance targets $1.024–$1.036 billion revenue (≈9.9–11.2% growth) and adjusted EPS growth of 6.1–9.4%, but assumes a ~120 bp FX tailwind from the Brazilian real and higher Latin America tax rates (11–12%), introducing FX and execution risk.
