CHICAGO—(BUSINESS WIRE) — February 08, 2012—Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.

 

Revenue increased 194% to $506.5 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to $172.2 million in the fourth quarter 2010. The unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter was $3.5 million.  Gross billings, which reflects the gross amounts collected from customers for Groupons sold, excluding any applicable taxes and net of estimated refunds, increased 201% to $1.25 billion in the fourth quarter 2011, compared with $415.3 million in the fourth quarter 2010.

 

“Groupon had a strong fourth quarter and we finished 2011 having helped 250,000 local merchants across 47 countries grow their businesses while saving Groupon customers billions of dollars,” said Andrew Mason, CEO and Co-Founder of Groupon. “We will continue to invest in new services and tools that help our merchant partners be more successful and drive local commerce around the world.”

 

Operating income was $15.0 million in the fourth quarter 2011, compared with a loss from operations of $336.1 million in the fourth quarter 2010. This marks the company’s first quarter of operating profitability since Groupon began its international operations in the second quarter of 2010. The favorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter was $11.6 million. Consolidated segment operating income (CSOI), which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of stock-based compensation and acquisition-related charges, improved to a gain of $48.0 million in the fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $143.4 million in the fourth quarter 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 operating results included losses of over $40 million principally from less mature markets within the international segment.

 

Operating cash flow increased 226% to $169.1 million for fourth quarter 2011, compared with $51.9 million for fourth quarter 2010. Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects cash flow from operations less purchases of property and equipment, increased 258% to $155.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $43.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. At the end of the quarter, Groupon had $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and no long-term debt.

 



 

Fourth quarter 2011 net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased by 89% to $42.7 million, or a loss of $0.08 per share, from a net loss attributable to stockholders of $378.6 million, or a loss of $1.08 per share, in fourth quarter 2010. Pro-forma net income attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter improved to a loss of $9.8 million, or a pro-forma loss of $0.02 per share, from a prior year pro-forma net loss attributable to common stockholders of $185.8 million, or a pro-forma loss per share of $0.53. Pro-forma net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of stock-based compensation and acquisition-related charges. The pro-forma loss of $0.02 per share includes $34.8 million of tax expense, an effective tax rate of approximately 1,600%, related to profitability in certain international countries as well as additional income tax provisions related to the establishment of the company’s international headquarters in Switzerland. This resulted in an unusually high effective tax rate as compared to the company’s current average statutory rate of approximately 33%.

 

Full-Year 2011

 

Revenue increased 419% to $1.6 billion in 2011, compared with $312.9 million in revenue in 2010. The favorable impact on revenue from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the year was $43.4 million.

 

Gross billings increased 437% to $4.0 billion in 2011, compared with $745.3 million in gross billings in 2010.

 

Full year 2011 loss from operations was $203.4 million, compared with the loss from operations of $420.3 million in 2010. The unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the year was $9.8 million. Consolidated segment operating losses improved to a loss of $114.3 million in 2011 from a loss of $181.0 million in 2010.

 

Operating cash flow increased 234% to $290.5 million in 2011, compared with $86.9 million in 2010. Free cash flow increased 242% to $246.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $72.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $350.8 million in 2011, or a loss of $0.97 per share, from a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $456.3 million, or a loss of $1.33 per share, in 2010. Pro-forma net loss attributable to common stockholders for the full year resulted in a loss of $261.8 million, or a pro-forma loss of $0.72 per share, from a prior year pro-forma net loss attributable to common stockholders of $217.0 million, or a pro-forma loss per share $0.63.  The pro-forma loss per share of $0.72 includes $44.3 million of tax expense related to profitability in certain international countries as well as additional income tax provisions related to the establishment of the company’s international headquarters in Switzerland.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2011 Highlights

 

·                  As of December 31, 2011, Groupon’s worldwide active customer base grew to over 33 million, an increase of over 275% year-over-year and more than 20% quarter-over-quarter. Active customers are defined as customers who have purchased a Groupon in the trailing twelve months and may include individual customers with multiple registrations.

·                  Trailing twelve month gross billings per average active customer, which is a proxy for the total annualized spend per average customer, increased to $188 in fourth quarter 2011 from $160 in fourth quarter 2010.

·                  Fourth quarter 2011 North America segment results were aided by the company’s second annual Grouponicus seasonal promotion, which served 40 North American markets with local deals, travel deals and goods chosen specifically for their ‘giftability.’

·                Worldwide, more than 26 million people have downloaded the Groupon mobile app on their smartphones.

·                 In just over six months from launching Groupon Now!, Groupon has expanded this offering to 31 markets and served deals from nearly 20,000 merchant partners in North America.

·                  Groupon continued to invest in creating additional value for its merchant partners, with fourth quarter 2011 releases of merchant tools including Groupon Merchant Center, Groupon Scheduler, and Groupon Rewards.

 



 

·      Groupon increased its long-term technology investments, expanding into new facilities in Palo Alto to accommodate the more than four times growth in its engineering and product development staff in 2011.

 

First Quarter 2012 Guidance

 

·      Revenue is expected to be between $510 million and $550 million, an increase of between 73% and 86% compared with first quarter 2011.

·      Income from operations is expected to be between $15 million and $35 million, compared with a loss from operations of $117.1 million in first quarter 2011.

·      This guidance includes approximately $35 million for stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expense, and it assumes, among other things, no additional business acquisitions or investments and no further revisions to stock-based compensation estimates.

 

A conference call will be webcast live today at 3:30 p.m. CT/4:30 p.m. ET, and will be available on Groupon’s investor relations website at http://investor.groupon.com.  This call will contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding the company’s financial and operating results.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This release includes the following financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the SEC: Free cash flow, CSOI and pro-forma net income. Groupon believes free cash flow is an important indicator for its business because it measures the amount of cash the company generates after spending on marketing, wages and benefits, capital expenditures and other items.  Free cash flow also reflects changes in working capital.  Groupon believes CSOI is an important measure for management to evaluate the performance of its business as it represents the operating results of its segments as reported under U.S. GAAP and does not include certain non-cash expenses.  Groupon believes pro-forma net income is an important measure for management to evaluate the performance of its business, as it represents the net income of its segments as reported under U.S. GAAP and also does not include certain non-cash expenses. Free cash flow, CSOI and pro-forma net income may be different from similar measures used by other companies.  The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable U.S. GAAP measures, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in this release.
