LOS ANGELES —August 2, 2011—j2 Global Communications, Inc. [NASDAQGS:JCOM] today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, announced that it is increasing its fiscal 2011 guidance for revenues and earnings per share, and announced that its Board of Directors has approved the initiation of quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders.
The Company achieved several quarterly records, including the following:

- Non-GAAP Earnings Per Diluted Share(1) (2) of $0.65
- Free Cash Flow(3) of $42.0 million
- Churn(4) of 2.4%
In addition, the Company added over 31,000 net DIDs in a quarter with no acquisitions and realized near record level operating margins of 44.3%, despite incurring ongoing expense related to the integration of companies acquired last year.
SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
GAAP Revenues increased 39.8% to a quarterly record $85.7 million compared to $61.3 million in Q2 2010.
Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share(2) increased 41.3% to $0.65 from $0.46 in Q2 2010. GAAP net earnings per diluted share increased 48.8% to $0.61 for Q2 2011 from $0.41 for Q2 2010.
Free cash flow(3) for Q2 2011 was a quarterly record $42.0 million, inclusive of $0.5 million, net of tax, in transition-related costs, compared to $26.4 million in Q2 2010 before the effect of the Company’s $14.2 million settlement payment to the IRS in Q2 2010.
The Company ended the quarter with $171.6 million in cash and investments.
Key financial results for second quarter 2011 versus second quarter 2010 are as follows:
Q2 2011 | Q2 2010 | % Change | |
GAAP Revenues | $85.7 million | $61.3 million | 39.8% |
Non-GAAP Net Earnings per Diluted Share (1) (2) | $0.65 | $0.46 | 41.3% |
GAAP Net Earnings per Diluted Share (1) | $0.61 | $0.41 | 48.8% |
Free Cash Flow (3) | $42.0 million | $26.4 million | 59.1% |
(1) | The estimated Non-GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 25.7% for Q2 2011 and 31.0% for Q2 2010. The estimated GAAP effective tax rate was approximately 25.4% for Q2 2011 and 30.6% for Q2 2010. | |
(2) | Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excludes share-based compensation and related payroll taxes and certain transition-related costs, in each case net of tax. | |
(3) | Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment, plus excess tax benefit (deficiency) from share-based compensation. The amount shown for Q2 2010 excludes the impact of a $14.2 million settlement payment made to the IRS during that quarter. | |
(4) | Please refer to our Q2 2011 Investor Presentation available at http://investor.j2global.com for the definition of churn. |
“Our performance for the first half of the year has exceeded our expectations for revenues, EPS, free cash flow and churn, and has caused us to increase our financial guidance for the full fiscal year,” said Hemi Zucker, j2 Global’s chief executive officer. “I am pleased that our Board has approved the initiation of a quarterly dividend, as this returns cash to our shareholders and positions us to broaden our shareholder base. It also reflects the Board’s confidence in our operating and financial position.”
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
j2 Global is increasing its previously issued financial estimates for fiscal 2011 as follows:
Prior Estimate | Increased Estimate | |
Non-GAAP Revenues (1) | $320 to $340 million | $335 to $345 million |
Non-GAAP Net Earnings per Diluted Share (1) | $2.21 to $2.42 | $2.46 to $2.56 |
(1) | Excludes, where applicable, $9 to $11 million of share-based compensation expense, $4 to $6 million of transition-related costs and the impact of a Q1 2011 one-time, non-cash, change in estimate relating to deferred revenues. |
It is anticipated that the normalized Non-GAAP effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 (exclusive of the release of certain FIN 48 reserves) will be between 25% and 27%.
DIVIDEND
The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the initiation of quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders. The first quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share will be paid on September 19, 2011, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 2, 2011.
