Digital River Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Announces new $100 million share repurchase authorization

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2012--Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), the revenue growth experts in global cloud commerce, reports its second quarter financial results and announces that its board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $100 million of its outstanding common shares.

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2012
GAAP Results
Second quarter revenue totaled $90.8 million, compared to $92.5 million during the same period in 2011. This result was below management’s second quarter revenue guidance of $92 to $94 million.

Second quarter GAAP net income was $200 thousand or $0.01 per diluted share, which compared to GAAP net income of $291 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011. These results exceeded management’s second quarter GAAP earnings guidance, which ranged from a loss of $0.02 per share to break-even.

Non-GAAP Results
Second quarter non-GAAP net income was $6.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. This compared to non-GAAP net income of $6.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. These results also exceeded management’s second quarter non-GAAP earnings guidance of $0.17 to $0.19 per diluted share.


“We beat our earnings plan during the second quarter in spite of a softer top line. This recent softness has caused us to temper our expectations for the remainder of the year, taking into consideration weaker PC sales and uncertainty in the macro economy,” said Joel Ronning, Digital River’s CEO. “While we will continue to monitor these trends into the third quarter, we also will take decisive action to lead in areas where we see long-term growth opportunities, such as software’s shift to SaaS and consumer electronics’ move to direct-to-buyer models. To further demonstrate our confidence in our future prospects, we are pleased to announce a new $100 million share repurchase plan.”

Third Quarter and Full Year 2012 Guidance
Management’s forward-looking financial expectations for the third quarter are as follows:

  • Revenue, ranging from $88 to $91 million;
  • GAAP EPS, ranging from a loss of $0.09 to a loss of $0.02 per share, using a 17 percent tax rate; and
  • Non-GAAP EPS, ranging from $0.12 to $0.18 per diluted share, using a 21 percent tax rate.

Management’s revised forward-looking financial expectations for the full year 2012 are as follows:

  • Revenue, ranging from $378 to $390 million;
  • GAAP EPS, ranging from $0.22 to $0.38 per diluted share, using an approximate 21 percent tax rate; and
  • Non-GAAP EPS, ranging from $0.96 to $1.08 per diluted share, using a 21 percent tax rate.

A detailed table providing a reconciliation of the company’s GAAP and non-GAAP earnings guidance estimates can be found accompanying this press release.

Common Share Repurchases
During the second quarter 2012, the company repurchased $20.2 million or 1.4 million shares of common stock in the open market, completing the repurchase program announced in September 2011.

In light of the completion of the previous program, Digital River’s board of directors has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $100 million of its outstanding common shares. Repurchases under this program will be made from time to time at the company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business. No time limit was set for completion of the repurchase program.

Non-GAAP Net Income Calculation
Digital River’s non-GAAP net income is computed by adjusting GAAP pre-tax income as reported on the company’s statement of operations by adding back amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, intangible impairments, unrealized investment gain or loss and restructuring costs, net of a 21 percent tax rate. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is calculated using the “if-converted” method with respect to the issuance of the company’s 2004 and 2010 convertible notes, which includes shares reserved upon conversion of 199,828 and 7,022,027, respectively. In computing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, adjust non-GAAP net income to add back debt interest and issuance cost amortization expenses, net of the tax benefit, and then divide this amount by fully diluted shares outstanding. This amount, representing the fully diluted earnings computation, is selected to represent non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for each period presented. To provide further clarity, a detailed reconciliation on the comparability of the GAAP and non-GAAP data has been provided in table form following the financial statements accompanying this release.
