Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On February 7, 2012, Higher One Holdings, Inc. (“Higher One”) issued a press release announcing financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On February 7, 2012 at 5:00pm ET, Higher One will host a conference call to discuss fourth quarter results. Interested parties, including analysts, investors and the media, may listen live via the internet by logging onto the Investor Relations section of Higher One’s website at http://www.higherone.com.
As part of the conference call, Dean Hatton, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mark Volchek, Chief Financial Officer, will present items not previously disclosed in reports filed by Higher One with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A copy of the PowerPoint slides that will accompany Higher One’s presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
The information in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The press release, PowerPoint slides and presentation described above include certain metrics presented on a non-GAAP basis, including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net income, and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share. Higher One believes that these non-GAAP measures, which exclude amortization of intangibles, stock based compensation, and certain one-time or non-cash impacts to Higher One’s results, all net of taxes, provide useful information regarding normalized trends relating to the company’s financial condition and results of operations. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their closest comparable GAAP measures are included in
the press release, PowerPoint slides and presentation.
This Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements, as defined by the SEC. Management’s projections and expectations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance to differ materially from those predicted or implied. These statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the company does not intend to update or otherwise revise the forward-looking information to reflect actual results of operations, changes in financial condition, changes in estimates, expectations or assumptions, changes in general economic or industry conditions or other circumstances arising and/or existing since the preparation
of this Form 8-K or to reflect the occurrence of any unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K do not include the potential impact of any acquisitions or divestitures that may be announced and/or completed after the date hereof. Information about the factors that could affect future performance can be found in our recent SEC filings.
