InfoSpace Announces Second Quarter 2011 Results

BELLEVUE, Wash., July 28, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) — InfoSpace, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSP) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

“We are pleased with our financial results for the second quarter,” said Bill Ruckelshaus, President and Chief Executive Officer of InfoSpace. “ Our core search business continues to perform well and posted another quarter of sequential revenue growth, as well as growth from the second quarter of 2010. With the sale of our e-commerce business in June, our financial results highlight, to a greater extent, the profitability of the search business. Additionally, we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities to enhance long-term shareholder value.”

As a result of the sale of our e-commerce business, the Company is presenting the financial results for the ongoing business as continuing operations, which exclude the results of the e-commerce business. The results of the e-commerce business are presented as discontinued operations. The Company is providing this view of its financial results for both the second quarter of 2011 as well as historic periods.

 

 

Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $54.3 million, compared to revenues of $52.4 million for the second quarter of 2010.

 

 

Income from continuing operations for the second quarter was $4.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

 

 

Net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $3.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, which includes a charge of $7.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, due to the loss on the sale of the e-commerce business; compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, was $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2010.

 

 

Non-GAAP net income, as defined below, which excludes non-cash income taxes, was $6.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.

 

 

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2011 totaled $263.4 million. At the end of the quarter, the Company had no debt obligations.

Third Quarter Outlook

For the third quarter of 2011, the Company expects revenues to be between $55 million and $57 million, Adjusted EBITDA to be between $7.5 million and $8.5 million, and net income to be between $3 million and $4 million, or $0.08 to $0.10 per diluted share.


Conference Call and Webcast

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

InfoSpace’s Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to exclude the effects of discontinued operations (including loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, and loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of taxes), of income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and other loss (income), net (which includes such items as adjustments to the fair values of contingent liabilities related to business combinations, gains on resolutions of contingencies, interest income, foreign currency gains or losses, and gains or losses from the disposal of assets), as detailed in the accompanying table to the preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

InfoSpace’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain expenses and gains that management believes are not indicative of its core business operating results. InfoSpace uses this non-GAAP financial measure for internal management purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. InfoSpace believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a common measure used by investors and analysts to evaluate its performance, that it provides a more complete understanding of the results of operations and trends affecting the Company’s business when viewed together with GAAP results, and that management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure. A table reconciling the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA to net income, which the Company’s management believes to be the most comparable GAAP measure, accompanies the preliminary condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this release.

InfoSpace’s Non-GAAP net income is calculated by adjusting GAAP net income to exclude the effects of discontinued operations (including loss from discontinued operations , net of taxes, and loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of taxes)and non-cash income taxes from continuing operations, as detailed in the accompanying table to the preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). Non-cash income tax expense from continuing operations represents a reduction in cash taxes from continuing operations primarily attributable to the utilization of U.S. net operating losses. InfoSpace’s management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance.

Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income should be evaluated in light of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP net income.

InfoSpace’s Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to exclude the effects of discontinued operations (including loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, and loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of taxes), income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and other (income) loss, net (which includes such items as adjustments to the fair values of contingent liabilities related to business combinations, gains on resolutions of contingencies, interest income, foreign currency gains or losses, and gains or losses from the disposal of assets), as detailed above. InfoSpace’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain expenses and gains that management believes are not indicative of its core business operating results. InfoSpace uses this non-GAAP financial measure for internal management purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. InfoSpace believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a common measure used by investors and analysts to evaluate its performance, that it provides a more complete understanding of the results of operations and trends affecting the Company’s business when viewed together with GAAP results, and that management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure.

InfoSpace’s Non-GAAP net income is calculated by adjusting GAAP net income to exclude the effects of discontinued operations (including loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, and loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of taxes) and the non-cash portion of income tax expense from continuing operations. The non-cash portion of income tax expense from continuing operations represents a reduction to cash taxes payable associated with the utilization of deferred tax assets, which are primarily comprised of U.S. federal net operating losses. Due to the Company’s continued ability to offset a substantial portion of its cash tax liabilities through 2020 provided by these deferred tax assets, management believes that excluding the non-cash portion of income tax expense from continuing operations and the effects of discontinued operations from its GAAP net income provides meaningful supplemental information to investors and analysts regarding the Company’s performance and the valuation of its business.

Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income should be evaluated in light of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP net income .
