ICG Announces First Quarter Financial Results

WAYNE, Pa., May 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICG Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICGE) ("ICG") today reported its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

"We were pleased to see strong momentum in customer signings at our companies this quarter," said Walter Buckley, ICG's Chief Executive Officer. "Procurian, GovDelivery and InvestorForce have transformed late stage pipeline opportunities into important contracts, which is a testament to the clear value proposition they deliver to their customers. Additionally, we are excited about our acquisition of MSDSonline, a leader in a large, untapped market with a compelling cloud-based technology solution and proven track record. We look forward to building on our positive momentum and expect growth to accelerate during the remainder of the year, as reflected in our recently increased 2012 guidance."

GAAP Financial Results

ICG's GAAP revenue increased to $36.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, up from $34.0 million in the corresponding 2011 period. GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $(7.0) million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, compared to net income of $15.9 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the corresponding 2011 period. Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 include non-recurring net gains of $0.4 million, which primarily relate to a gain on the prior sale of Metastorm, while the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 include a non-recurring gain of $24.9 million from the sale of Metastorm. 

Core Consolidated Companies

Core consolidated revenue totaled $36.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, an 8% increase from the corresponding 2011 period. Core consolidated EBITDA totaled $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $3.9 million for the comparable 2011 period. 

Procurian reported $30.5 million of revenue for the first quarter of 2012, representing a 5% increase from the corresponding 2011 period. Procurian's EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation and unusual items, for the quarter was $3.8 million, as compared to $5.2 million in the comparable 2011 period.

MSDSonline Acquisition

As previously announced, on March 30, 2012, ICG completed the acquisition of MSDSonline. ICG paid approximately $48 million of cash for a 96% ownership stake in MSDSonline, with MSDSonline management owning the residual equity interests.  MSDSonline offers a suite of cost-effective, cloud-based solutions that help environmental, health and safety professionals more efficiently manage and reduce potential workplace and environmental hazards as part of their overall social responsibility and compliance programs. MSDSonline was breakeven on approximately $13 million of 2011 revenue and expects 2012 revenue of approximately $16 million, with increased profitability anticipated as it invests for growth.  ICG expects to recognize revenue of $12 million from MSDSonline in 2012, excluding the impacts of purchase accounting.  

Reiteration of 2012 Guidance

ICG continues to expect to achieve 2012 core consolidated revenue in the range of $165 million to $175 million and core consolidated EBITDA in the range of $17 million to $19 million.

(A) Core consolidated revenue, core consolidated EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures and have no standardized measurement prescribed by GAAP. Core consolidated revenue is the sum of the revenue of ICG's core consolidated companies. Core consolidated EBITDA is the sum of the earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and unusual items of ICG's core consolidated companies. ICG's management considers charges unusual when they are transactional-driven or non-recurring. Adjusted operating income (loss) is consolidated operating income (loss), adjusted for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment related and other amounts of ICG and its core consolidated companies. ICG's core consolidated companies are Procurian, GovDelivery, InvestorForce and MSDSonline. Please note that MSDSonline's results are not included in ICG's results for periods prior to Q2 2012 because ICG did not acquire MSDSonline until March 30, 2012. ICG's management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others that enables each such group to evaluate core consolidated companies' current and future prospects in a similar manner as ICG's management and to review results on a comparable basis for all periods presented.
     
(B) Other (income) loss, net, as reflected in reconciliation above, relates to net gains as follows:   Quarter Ended March 31,
