EVERTEC, Inc. Q2 FY2026 earnings call

• Executive Update & Strategic Direction: Evertech remains focused on strengthening its position as a leading financial technology and transaction processing firm across Latin America and the Caribbean. The company follows a balanced growth strategy combining organic expansion, disciplined strategic acquisitions, and disciplined capital allocation, with the long-term goal of delivering sustainable growth and shareholder value. New Head of Investor Relations Lili Arteaga was formally welcomed to the firm.

• Key Cybersecurity Incident Update: A cybersecurity incident disclosed in June was addressed immediately with activated incident response protocols, engagement of external cybersecurity experts, and close coordination with affected clients and regulators. Management confirmed incident response procedures worked as intended, the incident did not disrupt operations or client service, and ongoing work focuses on remediation, supporting affected parties, and strengthening overall security resilience.

• Organic Growth Milestones: The company secured multiple large, strategic commercial wins during the quarter: a multi-year (minimum 5-year initial term) agreement with TransBank, Chile's leading payment acquirer, representing one of the largest commercial wins in company history that deepens Evertech's position in the high-priority Chilean market; a new contract with CLIP, a leading Mexican financial ecosystem provider serving nearly 1 million merchants, marking an early milestone in Evertech's Mexican acquiring services business and validating the firm's ability to compete in the large Mexican payments market; and new agreements with Puerto Rico-based toll road operator Metro Pistas that demonstrate cross-segment capability leveraging prior acquisition assets.

• M&A Activity: Two acquisitions were completed in Q2 2026: Demensa, which strengthens Evertech's software capabilities for financial institutions, expands its addressable market, and increases its relevance in the Brazilian financial services ecosystem (integration is in early stages and on track); and BBChain, a Brazilian provider of blockchain infrastructure, tokenization, digital custody, and digital asset solutions for financial institutions, which expands Evertech's platform into next-generation digital financial infrastructure, with expected modest near-term revenue and long-term growth opportunities across the region. Recent acquisitions overall position Evertech as a larger, more diversified fintech platform with expanded growth opportunities.

• AI Strategy & Initiatives: Evertech is advancing AI adoption across the organization guided by a formal governance framework, focused on three core priorities: driving operational efficiency, fostering innovation, and enhancing client service. AI is currently deployed across use cases including accelerated software development, improved incident management and service quality, enhanced fraud detection and risk monitoring, and support for new client solution development. Management expects AI to become an increasingly important enabler of operations, innovation, and service delivery, with long-term opportunities to boost both revenue growth and profitability.

• Capital Return & Liquidity: Evertech maintains an active capital return program for shareholders. In Q2 2026, it repurchased 2 million shares for $47 million and paid $3 million in dividends. After quarter-end, the board replenished the share repurchase authorization to $150 million, with $83 million remaining available at the end of Q2. The company holds strong liquidity of approximately $420 million at quarter-end, providing flexibility for growth investments, integration activities, and high-return capital allocation.
