Dex One Corporation Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2010 Results

  • EBITDA of $808 Million, as Adjusted
  • Free Cash Flow of $572 Million, as Adjusted
  • Dex One to Host an Investor Day on February 24

CARY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 24, 2011--Dex One Corporation (NYSE: DEXO) today announced its 2010 results. Alfred Mockett, CEO of Dex One, stated, “While developing the go-forward strategy to return to growth, we have delivered on a number of notable initiatives in the closing months of 2010. In the fourth quarter, we launched our new mobile app, providing consumers with detailed local business information. We have also identified a range of opportunities in our cost base and have put in place aggressive action plans to deliver more than $100 million of cost savings in 2011. We will be providing more information at today’s Investor Day.”

Steven M. Blondy, Executive Vice President and CFO of Dex One said, “Ad sales remained weak in 2010, as expected. Additionally, the delinquent account status of a single certified marketing representative had a 0.7% negative impact on our ad sales during the year, which was not contemplated in our guidance. Excluding this account, the receivable quality associated with all other certified marketing representatives remains strong. Despite lower than expected revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow exceeded guidance primarily due to diligent cost management and the timing of restructuring costs.”

The adoption of fresh start accounting had a significant impact on the company’s reported results commencing on February 1, 2010. Net revenue, operating loss and cash flow from operations in the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 were $831 million, $1,294 million and $512 million, respectively.

Bookings(3) in the year were $1,567 million, representing a decline of 15.3 percent on a year-over-year basis. Since emergence, Dex One has repaid $557 million of debt. As of December 31, 2010, adjusted net debt(2) was $2,700 million and the Company’s cash balance was $128 million.

Reported GAAP results are not indicative of our underlying operating and financial performance and are not comparable to any prior period presentation. Important information regarding operating results and related reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found in the schedules and related footnotes to this press release, which should be thoroughly reviewed. All figures are preliminary and subject to change pending the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Advertising sales is a statistical measure and consists of sales of advertising in print directories distributed during the period and Internet-based products and services with respect to which such advertising first appeared publicly during the period. Bookings are another non-GAAP figure that represent the expected contract value signed in the period. It is important to distinguish advertising sales and bookings from net revenue, which is recognized under the deferral and amortization method.

UNAUDITED ADJUSTED STATEMENTS OF OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)

Fresh Start and Other Adjustments

Schedule 3

 
 
 

The Company adopted fresh start accounting and reporting effective February 1, 2010, the Fresh Start Reporting Date. The financial statements as of the Fresh Start Reporting Date report the results of Dex One with no beginning retained earnings or accumulated deficit. Any presentation of Dex One represents the financial position and results of operations of a new reporting entity and is not comparable to prior periods presented by the Predecessor Company. The financial statements for periods ended prior to the Fresh Start Reporting Date do not include the effect of any changes in our capital structure or changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities as a result of fresh start accounting. As a result of the deferral and amortization method of revenue recognition, recognized advertising revenues reflect the amortization of advertising sales consummated in prior periods as well as in the current period. The adoption of fresh start accounting has a significant impact on the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Fresh start accounting precludes us from recognizing deferred revenue of $69.0 million and $790.9 million and certain deferred expenses of $15.5 million and $172.6 million during the three and eleven months ended December 31, 2010 associated with directories that published prior to the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Thus, our reported results for the three and eleven months ended December 31, 2010 are not indicative of our underlying operating and financial performance and are not comparable to any prior period presentation. Accordingly, management has provided a non-GAAP presentation of “Adjusted" and "Combined Adjusted" results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, on Schedules 3 and 4. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or related to, our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing our underlying business. Adjusted results adjust GAAP results of the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to (i) eliminate the fresh start accounting impact on revenue and certain related expenses noted above and (ii) exclude cost-uplift recorded under fresh start accounting of $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Combined Adjusted results (1) combines GAAP results of the Company for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 and GAAP results of the Predecessor Company for the one month ended January 31, 2010 and (2) adjusts these combined amounts to (i) eliminate the fresh start accounting impact on revenue and certain related expenses noted above and (ii) exclude cost-uplift recorded under fresh start accounting of $12.3 million for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010.  Deferred directory costs, such as print, paper, distribution and commissions, relate to directories that have not yet been published and have been recorded at fair value, determined as (a) the estimated billable value of the published directory less (b) the expected costs to complete the directory, plus (c) a normal profit margin. This incremental fresh start accounting adjustment to step up the recorded value of the deferred directory costs to fair value is hereby referred to as “cost-uplift.” Cost-uplift will be amortized over the terms of the applicable directories, not to exceed twelve months. Unamortized cost-uplift at December 31, 2010 is $2.1 million, which will be recognized during the first quarter of 2011.

 

Management believes that the non-GAAP presentation of Adjusted and Combined Adjusted results will help financial statement users better understand the material impact fresh start accounting has on the Company’s results of operations for the three and eleven months ended December 31, 2010 and also offers a non-GAAP normalized comparison to GAAP results of the Predecessor Company for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009. The non-GAAP Adjusted and Combined Adjusted results are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures. While the non-GAAP Adjusted and Combined Adjusted results exclude the effects of fresh start accounting and certain other items, such as goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges during the eleven months ended December 31, 2010, it must be noted that the non-GAAP Adjusted and Combined Adjusted results of the Successor Company are not strictly comparable to the Predecessor Company’s GAAP results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009 or Adjusted Results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009, which exclude the effects of the intangible asset impairment charge during 2009, and should not be treated as such. We strongly encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Schedule 7a
 
(unaudited)
 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of operating performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for operating income (loss) prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition, EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of our operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or related to, our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing our underlying business. Adjusted EBITDA of the Successor Company for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is determined by adjusting EBITDA (i) to eliminate the fresh start accounting impact on revenue and certain expenses, (ii) to exclude the impact of cost-uplift recorded under fresh start accounting and (iii) adjust for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program. Adjusted EBITDA of the Successor Company for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 is determined by adjusting EBITDA (i) to eliminate the fresh start accounting impact on revenue and certain expenses, (ii) to exclude the impact of cost-uplift recorded under fresh start accounting, (iii) to exclude the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges during the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 and (iv) adjust for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program.

Adjusted EBITDA of the Predecessor Company for the one month ended January 31, 2010 is determined by adjusting EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program. Adjusted EBITDA of the Predecessor Company for the three months ended December 31, 2009 is determined by adjusting EBITDA (i) adjust for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program and (ii) to exclude the intangible asset impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2009 . Adjusted EBITDA of the Predecessor Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 is determined by adjusting EBITDA (i) for stock-based compensation expense and long-term incentive program, (ii) for restricted stock unit expense related to the Business.com Acquisition and (iii) to exclude the intangible asset impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Combined adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2010 combines the adjusted EBITDA of the Successor Company for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 and the Predecessor Company for the one month ended January 31, 2010.

Adjusted cash flow from operations, Adjusted free cash flow and Combined Adjusted free cash flow are not measurements of operating performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for cash flow from operations prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted cash flow from operations, Adjusted free cash flow and Combined Adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that these adjusted cash flow measures provide investors and stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Company's ability to fund its activities and obligations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NON-GAAP MEASURES

 
(1) Our advertising revenues are earned primarily from the sale of advertising in yellow pages directories we publish. Advertising revenues also include revenues for Internet-based advertising products including online directories, such as DexKnows.com and DexNet. Advertising revenues are affected by several factors, including changes in the quantity and size of advertisements, acquisition of new clients, renewal rates of existing clients, premium advertisements sold, changes in advertisement pricing, the introduction of new products, an increase in competition and more fragmentation in the local business search market and general economic factors. Revenues with respect to print advertising and Internet-based advertising products that are sold with print advertising are recognized under the deferral and amortization method. Revenues related to our print advertising and Internet-based advertising products that are sold with print advertising are initially deferred when a directory is published, net of sales claims and allowances, and recognized ratably over the directory’s life, which is typically 12 months. Revenues with respect to Internet-based services that are sold standalone, such as DexNet, are recognized as delivered or fulfilled. Revenues with respect to our advertising products that are non-performance based are recognized ratably over the life of the contract commencing when they are first delivered or fulfilled. Revenues with respect to our advertising products that are performance-based are recognized as the service is delivered or fulfilled.
 
(2) We performed impairment tests as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 of our goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets. The testing results of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets resulted in an impairment charge associated with trade names and trademarks, technology, local customer relationships and other from our former Business.com reporting unit of $21.6 million during the eleven months ended December 31, 2010. The testing results of our goodwill resulted in an impairment charge of $1,137.6 million during the eleven months ended December 31, 2010, for a total impairment charge of $1,159.2 million during the eleven months ended December 31, 2010. The Company has excluded the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges from Combined Adjusted Results for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Predecessor Company recognized a non-goodwill intangible asset impairment charge of $7.3 billion during the fourth quarter of 2009, primarily representing the difference between the fair value and recorded value of our directory services agreements. The Predecessor Company has excluded the intangible asset impairment charge from Adjusted Results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009.
 
(3)

Reorganization items directly associated with the process of reorganizing the business under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code were recorded on a separate line item on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operating income (loss). The Predecessor Company had recorded $7.8 billion of reorganization items during the one month ended January 31, 2010 associated with the gain on reorganization/settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and the impact of fresh start accounting adjustments. The Predecessor Company had recorded $16.9 million and $94.8 million of reorganization items during the three months and year ended December 31, 2009, respectively, associated with items such as professional fees, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, net premiums / discounts and fair value adjustments due to purchase accounting associated with long-term debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise. Additionally, liabilities were segregated between liabilities not subject to compromise and liabilities subject to compromise on the audited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009. The Predecessor Company's senior notes, senior discount notes and senior subordinated notes were classified as liabilities subject to compromise at December 31, 2009 and the Predecessor Company's credit facilities were excluded from liabilities subject to compromise at December 31, 2009.

 
(4) In conjunction with our adoption of fresh start accounting, an adjustment was established to record our outstanding debt at fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. The Company was required to record our amended and restated credit facilities at a discount as a result of their fair value on the Fresh Start Reporting Date. Therefore, the carrying amount of these debt obligations is lower than the principal amount due at maturity. This fair value adjustment is amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective debt agreements and does not impact future scheduled interest or principal payments. The unamortized fair value adjustment resulting from fresh start accounting was $91.0 million at December 31, 2010.
 

(5)

Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents on the respective date. Net debt – eliminating fair value discount eliminates the fair value discount as a result of fresh start accounting described in Note 4 and represents principal amounts due at maturity. Net debt as of December 31, 2009 excludes $6.1 billion of long-term debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise.
 

(6)

Advertising sales is a non-GAAP statistical measure and consists of sales of advertising in print directories distributed during the period and Internet-based products and services with respect to which such advertising first appeared publicly during the period.  It is important to distinguish advertising sales from net revenue, which is recognized under the deferral and amortization method. Combined advertising sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 combines advertising sales of the Successor Company for the eleven months ended December 31, 2010 and the Predecessor Company for the one month ended January 31, 2010. Combined advertising sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 combines advertising sales of the Successor Company for the two months ended March 31, 2010 and the Predecessor Company for the one month ended January 31, 2010.

 

In order to provide more visibility into what the Company will book as revenue in the future, we have introduced a non-GAAP statistical measure called bookings, which represent sales activity associated with our print directories and Internet-based products and services during the period. Bookings associated with our local customers represent signed contracts during the period. Bookings associated with our national customers represent what has been published or fulfilled during the period. Bookings for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $359.3 million, representing a decline of $70.7 million, or 16.4%, from bookings of $430.0 million for the Predecessor Company three months ended December 31, 2009. Combined bookings for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $1,566.7 million, representing a decline of $283.1 million, or 15.3%, from bookings of $1,849.8 million for the Predecessor Company year ended December 31, 2009.
