Thank you, Luis. And thanks everyone for joining us today. I am pleased to report another solid quarter of growth and continued execution of our expansion strategy. Consistent with our expectations we had strong revenue growth during the quarter in our Merchant Acquiring and Payment Processing segments. With Merchant Acquiring revenue up 8% and Payment Processing revenue up 6%. Adjusted EBITDA grew 14% during the quarter and our adjusted net income grew at very strong 86%. Overall our solid results for the third quarter reflect the continued secular growth in the payment markets in which we operate, as well as the successful execution of our growth strategy. I am pleased with the progress we are making and further penetrating and gaining share in Latin America as well as the focused effort of our management team, on managing cost and driving productivity. This has resulted in a 430 basis point expansion in our adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter. As you also saw this afternoon our Board of Directors declared a $0.10 regular quarterly dividend for common share, the dividend is payable on December 6 to share holders of record as of November 18. As mentioned last quarter, our decision to initiate a regular quarterly dividend program is a reflection of our significant cash flow generation, strong balance sheet and the ability to saying predictable long-term growth with low incremental capital requirements. Going forward we remain committed to the prudent return of capital to shareholders and to continue dynamically to evaluate the best uses of our excess cash in the context of our strategic objectives. On the corporate development front I would like to spend a moment discussing four new business wins and developments that we are particularly excited about and that are consistent with the growth strategy we have discussed…

Thank you Peter and good afternoon everyone. As Peter mentioned Evertec continue to deliver solid financial performance during the third quarter. We have consistent and strong revenue growth in our merchant acquiring and payment processing segments and generated adjusted EBITDA growth of 14%. Our adjusted EBITDA margin increased by approximately 430 basis points to 49.7% which underscores a positive impact of our productivity initiatives as well as its scalability of our leading technology platform. This revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth combined with the positive impact of our debt refinancing lead to a very strong adjusted net income and adjusted EPS growth. I will now spend some time going through our financial results in more detail turning with our revenues. On a consolidated basis total revenue for the third quarter increased 4% to $87.4 million up from $83.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. Looking at the underlying segment, merchant acquiring net revenues grew 8% to $18.2 million driven primarily by higher transaction and sales volumes. This 8% increase is consistent with a normalized growth we experienced in the first half of this year and it led the continued secular growth of payments in our business. Now on to payment process, payment processing revenue increased 6% this quarter to $24.7 million from $23.3 million in the prior year period. Revenue growth in the quarter was driven primarily by an increase in transaction process and accounts on file. Finally, Business Solutions revenue increased 2% to $43.7 million. As we expected, Business Solutions revenue growth moderated this quarter from the first half rate of approximately 8%, due to the intra-year timing of project completion and product sales. We have disclosed a potential impact of project-based timing in this segment before. Over a full year period, we continue to expect business solution to…

Thank you. (Operator Instructions) And we’ll take our first question from Bryan Keane with Deutsche Bank. Ashish Sabadra – Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.: Hi this is Ashish Sabadra on behalf of Bryan Keane. Its good see that improvement in revenues and Payment Processing as well as Merchant Acquiring. Just the question was based on your guidance you are guiding more like 3% to 4.5% growth for the fourth quarter. And I understand a lot of it is due to weakness, due to business solution and the timing. But just on the merchant acquiring considering that you have that alliance and also easier comp to the prior year, should we expect the revenue growth to improve in merchant acquiring? So the question was more around the revenue growth and merchant acquiring, should we expect that to improve considering as easier comps as well as BBVA ramping up?

Yes, we do expect for Q4 in addition to our [indiscernible]. We’re also completing implementation of the Oriental BBVA in early October. So we expect a strong merchant acquiring growth in Q4, not only because of that, but also keep in mind that is holiday season in Q4 and there is a natural seasonality to that business as well as some of our payment process in businesses. So yes, it will be a strong Q4 as we said high single-digit and that includes some of the impact of completing the migration of the EBITDA merchants into Oriental Bank. Ashish Sabadra – Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.: Okay, thanks for the color. Just on the Puerto Rico, again, thanks for the color on the call. Two quick questions, I was wondering if you could just provide some color around what percentage of the revenue is generated from Puerto Rican government contracts. And another question would be is there any risk to your tax agreement with the Puerto Rican government in case of the government decides to raise taxes or any other adverse event?

Yeah, the first part of the question is around 10% similar to last year has not changed significantly. But keep in mind that most of those services are mission-critical for the government of Puerto Rico had a chance support, literally benefits transfers and even some of those are actually founded by the federal government. To the second part of the question regarding our tax rent, no we’re very comfortable with our tax rent as a confident within the governor of Puerto Rico EVERTEC. You have to keep in mind that includes our compromised to keep employment in Puerto Rico, a significant investment for the 15 years of that contract that we are committed to do. So it’s a benefit obviously from tax respective. But on the other hand, we’re committed to invest in Puerto Rico and create employment in Puerto Rico. So historically, in the last four years, I comparatively have never changed a grand to any company. And keep in mind that many other blue chip companies in Puerto Rico have similar tax rent. So we feel very comfortable and they have never really have done in the history. Ashish Sabadra – Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.: Yeah, that's great. That's great. One final question for me on the international front. There has been some great progress on that front. I was wondering if it's possible to quantify the benefit, the revenue benefit from the first three strategic initiatives or the business development. And also you just talk about the pipeline for new business development initiatives in the international market? Thanks.

On the initiatives when you look at the first two which are in our Business Solution segments, those are certainly in a low single digit of $1 million that will generate in revenue to the Company. So we feel very good about that. To us, it's more important actually that we now proven that we can take some of those products and services that we have traditionally sold in Puerto Rico and now be able to leverage that and sell those outside of the market, which is what excites us the most now. Certainly, the four banks are in line with what we have done in the past. We signed a number of banks last year. We signed a number of banks this year. These banks will obviously not get implemented until third, fourth quarter as early as though next year. It’s the normal cycle. And finally, the Columbia is one we’re very excited about, because it’s a very big market and we’ve just, we are kind of guessing the number of about half $500 million, but clearly it is a market that is at least five to 10 times bigger from an acceptance perspective than the Puerto Rican market is. And so now if we get this license, some of the customer relationships we now have in Colombia, we believe we can start to actually enter the acquiring market in that country. And that where the market decides of Colombia, we think over the next couple of years, we could take certainly a 5% to 10% market share as what our goal is. Ashish Sabadra – Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.: Sorry, great, thanks. Thanks a lot for the color.

Okay.

We will go next to Tien-tsin Huang with JPMorgan. Tien-tsin Huang – JPMorgan Securities LLC: Great, thanks. Just a follow up on that last couple of points, just the timing of when some of these business developments might flow in, I cut the four banks coming in second half of the year, how about the two business solutions deals? When could we expect that to cut over?

Well, the first one, we will get some in the fourth quarter and some in early 2014. The second one will take some time to roll out in 12 hospitals, so we will see the majority of it in 2014. Tien-tsin Huang – JPMorgan Securities LLC: And then the Colombia acquiring, assuming you get the license, what should we expect from that point forward? I mean do you need distribution deals or do you have something lined up where by we can actually see it going to market and trying to secure contracts?

Yes, it’d be the lateral. So we’ve got some relationships there, that we think we can leverage to begin sometime in 2014 in merchant acquiring business in Colombia. Now [indiscernible] will be starting it up against the incumbents that are in the market, because most of the banks there operate under the old companies like [indiscernible], but we think we can get the business started in 2014. Tien-tsin Huang – JPMorgan Securities LLC: Okay, good. And then just business solutions, it sounds like that’s the bulk of the revision here in the guide.

Yeah. Tien-tsin Huang – JPMorgan Securities LLC: And my question here is just Popular, I got everything what you mentioned on in terms of explaining, but just how about surprises from Popular in terms of discretionary spend and things like that, any the other things that could surprise us?

Not really. For examples, one is related to the deferral of revenue is mostly, I just can’t imagine, there are many projects we host for popular and all other institutions, certain services right. So when they operate, we will have a number of hours that we can provide services for. So depending on what they request us to do for them, so if for example, they request and operate for an application that we do hosting, then those hours actually have to refer to more – maybe more than this surprises was that in proportion of these type of request this year from Popular and all others, but mostly popular of course are related to hostile application that we host for them. Last year for example, we were expecting this year to do kind of the same as we did last year in terms of non-hosting relation, that’s makes this work change. We thought that Q4, we will dedicate more time to those services that we actually can book immediately their revenue, but now when we look at the guideline, we will still have a significant amount of hours from Popular, that are hosting related. So it’s not really that they are not providing the hours. We actually have a significant guideline, but the impact really is that their request is more related to hosting related project and we are deferring that, but it is but on a good rate, because then once we complete the project, we will start recognizing that into revenues in future years every month for the term of the hosting project. Tien-tsin Huang – JPMorgan Securities LLC: All right. So it will be a little bit more visible and recurring?

Yes. Tien-tsin Huang – JPMorgan Securities LLC: If you don’t mind I will ask one more, just on the acquiring, back to acquiring, pricing yield up 8% this quarter, the acquiring pieces, sounds like the volume from your prepared remarks, Peter was running sort of 6% to 7%, so are yields getting better or is the difference just be PBA ramping and others? Thank you.

It’s not really a drastic change in that. It’s more of – we started the ramp up on some of the oriental stuff that we finished at the end of the third quarter, so we saw some benefit from that, but basically I mean the business is operating as it has. Again it’s been more the mixed engine and mix is that higher margins, right. It’s where we have a bigger percentage of the local players than we had expected. Tien-tsin Huang – JPMorgan Securities LLC : Great, thanks for the feedback.

And we will go next to George Mihalos with Credit Suisse. George Mihalos – Credit Suisse Securities LLC: Hey guys, thanks for taking my questions. I think if I am not mistaken on the 2Q call. You broke out the growth rate from non-Puerto Rico, non-Puerto Rican geographies, can you update that for us for the third quarter?

Yeah, it was again in the low double digits in the third quarter. George Mihalos – Credit Suisse Securities LLC: Low double digits?

Okay. And then just long term, I know you spoke about a couple of push outs, a government contract and then some accounting, but as you think of your revenue growth targets longer-term has anything changed from kind of the seventh plus organic that you are targeting longer-term?

No. George Mihalos – Credit Suisse Securities LLC: Okay, it's helpful. And then last question from me again, on the push-out of the contract due to funding, how much of an impact does that had, would you expect that to have in the fourth quarter and have you noticed any other sort of slow down in October from the government shutdown? Thank you.

No, that was probably the only thing we noticed, is that it represents give or take about a million dollars. George Mihalos – Credit Suisse Securities LLC: Okay, great thank you.

And as Juan said it’s a program we’ve been executing since 2008 and we’re guessing it’s the shutdown because it's normally granted around the first of October and it’s been – it just got pushed out to the early part of 2014.

And we’ll go next to Sara Gubens with Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Sara Gubens – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Hi, thanks good afternoon. Just a variation of the last question about your expectations for longer term growth, I’m wondering if any of the factor that you talked about, change your expectation of how long it will take you to get to double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth. And I don’t know really the comment about next year at all, but if you think those factors might make it more difficult to do double-digit EBITDA growth on a net adjusted basis next year? Juan José Román Jimenez: No, Sara. No, basically just as we mentioned there is a couple of delays in certain specific project and solution. We continue to see very strong merchant acquiring agreement processing growth. If you remind that agreement side also include our growth in Puerto Rican. So we expect that to continue, that’s why our speaker mentioned had not seen any change in our medium to long-term view of the growth of the company. So I think it’s very particular for the Q4 in those projects. However, our buyback continue to be there is very strong. As Peter said we just signed upon another four banks during this quarter. We keep moving into our strategy into Colombia. So now we’re comfortable that we will continue and we will execute it in our medium-term goals. Sara Gubens – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Great, and then could you talk about the pipeline for acquisitions outside of Puerto Rico? Juan José Román Jimenez: What we have said before, right now we are more focused on merchant alliances and joint ventures, and we’re still very, very comfortable that the stuff that we’re working on that we will be able to close one of those, if not two of those in the near future. So we’ve been more focused on that, we still have a number of conversations on the acquisitions side, but there is nothing at this point that it's worth bringing up. Sara Gubens – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Okay, and then just last question I think you signed up about 16 new banking clients last year, do you have a comparable number for where you are year-to-date on new bank clients? Juan José Román Jimenez: We’re probably somewhere in the nine to 10 range is what I would say, I don't have the number in front of me but it's about 9 or 10 year to date. Sara Gubens – Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Thank you.

And we will do next to Bob Napoli with William Blair. Bob Napoli – William Blair & Company: Thank you, just on little more on Colombia I mean you have signed a client that you it come on board this year that I think it was $5 million of revenue, but you may not come on board until the next year. Could you get maybe a little bit color on what you have, the clients you have signed in Colombia and maybe a pipeline in that market? Juan José Román Jimenez: Yes, we have that customer that signed, we're going to be doing card processing and ATM processing for that customer, okay, debit card processing. So that's done, we are in the implementation cycle with them, we expect them to come online in early 2014, that's what we said before. We have an active pipeline and in fact I will be in Colombia in early December for a major kickoff on a number of potential customers in the market. So we are comfortable if we now have an active pipeline and that we’ve got, once we bring that first customer up we think we’ll really start to get some traction. We think certainly when we granted this license that would help us to gain more traction in the market. Bob Napoli – William Blair & Company: That customer, what type of revenue Peter do you expect out of that customer?

Long-term we expect the first customer to generate around $5 million per annum that about the right number, we won’t see that in 2014 we’ll probably in 2015 and beyond, that’s the number we – that we are looking, but based on the volumes, that they have projected to us, okay, that’s what we say. Bob Napoli – William Blair & Company: Then the non-Puerto Rico growth rate, do you see visibility on getting that number up to the 20% range in 2014?

Yes, I think we believe the more accurate number would be in the mid to high teen, that’s what we think we’re going to see on year-over-year basis. Bob Napoli – William Blair & Company: Okay, and then the pipeline of new business, can you give kind of a broad feel of where geographically where the pipeline is and how does that pipeline today compare to where you were say a year-ago?

I would say it’s not much different than where we were a year ago, I would say that where we sold probably more customers and paying them more over the last two years, we’ve well penetrated that market as we said before, so obviously the opportunities on numerous as they were a couple of years ago. So we are still very focused in the Dominican, as you could see we just signed our first customer in Jamaica, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Puerto Rico. So we are actively got a pipeline in all of those markets. Bob Napoli – William Blair & Company: Okay, great thank you very much.

W:

Yes, just a quick follow up on the Colombia license application just wondering how long do you expect the process to take?

We think will have the approval by the end of the year and so we believe we can start to leverage that license in 2014, we are at the end of the process we are just waiting for approval at this point.

And, on Puerto Rico specifically lot of – there was lot of worries about government bond ratings and what not starting in late August, earlier September and given some of your peers in Mainland you asked noted that there was a slowdown in spending in the month of September, earlier October. Just wondering if you saw any split down in the Puerto Rico market in the last month of the quarter and beginning of the Q4?

No I would tell you, that’s why we’re trying to give you some sense to that number that. In the third quarter we actually saw looking at just POS transactions that we process because we believe that based on the size, the percentage of the market that we process, transactions. That to us the best indicator for you guys to look at our business, is how are those transactions growing year-over-year, and like we said they grew 6% to 7% on a year-over-year basis, the reality it was more or like about 7.5% in the third quarter. So they actually did better in the third quarter then we had seen in the first two quarters. So from that – now that’s driven more by again that cash to card conversion than it is by retail sales, as we said in the past, and that’s continues to happen.

Thank you.

And there are no other questions at this time, I would like to turn the conference back to Peter Harrington, CEO for closing remarks.

Thank you operator, thank you again for taking the time with us today. I just want to let you know that we remain very excited about our strong pipeline of new business opportunities as we head into 2014, and are confident in our ability to execute on one or more strategically alliance in the merchant acquiring business. We thank you for your support and we look forward to discuss in the year end results and providing more insights into our plans and development for 2014 on our next quarterly conference call. Operator you may now end the call.

Thank you everyone that does conclude today’s conference. We thank you for your participant.
