INTERACTIVE DATA REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

BEDFORD, Mass – October 25, 2012 – Interactive Data Corporation today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Interactive Data’s third-quarter 2012 revenue was $218.1 million compared with $217.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, Interactive Data’s organic (non-GAAP) revenue for the third quarter of 2012 grew by 1.4% from the third quarter in 2011.

Interactive Data’s third-quarter 2012 income from operations was $36.7 million, compared with income from operations of $30.8 million in same period one year ago. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (which excludes items that are either not part of the Company’s ongoing core operations, or do not require a cash outlay, or are not otherwise expected to recur in the ordinary course) for the third quarter of 2012 was $86.8 million versus $87.4 million in the same period one year ago.

“We continued to navigate our business through a challenging operating environment,” stated Mason Slaine, Interactive Data’s president and chief executive officer. “Despite the difficult backdrop, we made progress expanding several key product areas during the quarter. At the same time, we have continued to invest in the new product development and related technology infrastructure initiatives that we believe are fundamental for generating long-term, sustainable growth. Nevertheless, we remained disciplined with respect to managing our overall cost structure, which enabled us to produce another quarter of solid adjusted EBITDA margins and strong free cash flow.”

Segment Reporting and Related Operating Highlights

As previously disclosed, effective for the fourth quarter of 2011, Interactive Data’s two reportable segments were reorganized as Pricing and Reference Data, and Trading Solutions. The change was made in response to operational and organizational initiatives undertaken during the preceding year and completed in the fourth quarter of 2011, and reflects the way the Company currently approaches the market and analyzes operating performance. The Pricing and Reference Data segment represents the Company’s evaluated pricing, reference data and fixed income analytics product areas. The Trading Solutions segment represents the Company’s real-time data feeds, ultra low latency infrastructure services, hosted web applications and workstations. Historical financial results have been reclassified to reflect this change.

Pricing and Reference Data Segment:

 

 

Interactive Data’s Pricing and Reference Data segment reported third-quarter 2012 revenue of $153.2 million, a 2.6% increase over the third quarter of 2011. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, third-quarter 2012 organic (non-GAAP) revenue for this business increased by 3.2% from the same period last year. The segment’s performance benefited from continued expansion of the Company’s evaluated pricing and reference data services in the North American and Asia-Pacific regions, as well as improved results in its fixed income analytics area. During the quarter, Interactive Data launched its Fair Value Information Services for international corporate and sovereign bonds, and introduced a new service designed to support cross-asset data management and reporting requirements under the European Union’s Solvency II Directive. Earlier today, Interactive Data announced the launch of ApexSM, an innovative suite of fully-hosted and managed reference data services.


Trading Solutions Segment:

 

 

Interactive Data’s Trading Solutions segment generated third-quarter 2012 revenue of $64.9 million, a 5.3% decrease from the same quarter last year. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, third-quarter 2012 organic (non-GAAP) revenue for this segment declined by 2.6% from the third quarter of 2011. Continued growth in the Interactive Data 7ticks trading infrastructure services area was more than offset by softness in the segment’s other primary product areas. During the past several months, Interactive Data announced Saxo Bank and Konkyl as new 7ticks clients in Europe, added a new point-of-presence for the 7ticks network in the Toronto, Canada area and continued to make new market sources available on the 7ticks network. In addition, eSignal launched a new integrated marketing campaign targeting active traders during the quarter.

Other Third-Quarter 2012 Financial and Operating Highlights

Effects of Foreign Exchange:

 

 

The net effect of foreign exchange increased third-quarter 2012 income from operations by $0.4 million.

Balance Sheet Highlights:

 

 

As of September 30, 2012, Interactive Data had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $289.4 million, compared with $266.1 last quarter, $217.2 million at the same time last year and $262.2 million at the end of 2011. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2012 was approximately $2.0 billion.

Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Interactive Data reported revenue of $655.9 million, an increase of $10.2 million, or 1.6%, from $645.7 million in the same period last year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, organic revenue grew by 2.5% during the first nine months of 2012.

 

 

Interactive Data’s income from operations for the first nine months of 2012 was $104.1 million, compared with income from operations of $68.5 million in the same period one year ago. For the first nine months of 2012, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (which excludes items that are not part of the Company’s ongoing core operations, or do not require a cash outlay, or are not otherwise expected to recur in the ordinary course) was $249.0 million, up by 1.3% from $245.9 million in the same period one year ago.

Conference Call Information

Interactive Data Corporation will host a conference call to discuss the Company’s third-quarter 2012 results on Friday, October 26, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. ET. The dial-in number for the conference call is (785) 424-1057 and the related access code is IDCQ312. For those who cannot listen to this broadcast, a replay of the call will be available from October 26 at 12:00 p.m. until Friday, November 2, 2012 at 12:00 p.m., and it can be accessed by dialing (402) 220-7214 or (800) 756-8809 (no access code is required).

Non-GAAP Information

In addition to presenting our results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we also disclose the following non-GAAP information:

 

 

Management includes information regarding organic revenue. Organic revenue excludes the effects of foreign currency exchange rates, adjustments related to the amortization of acquisition-related deferred revenue, and, if applicable, the contribution of businesses recently acquired (and related intercompany eliminations as appropriate). Management believes reporting organic revenue facilitates period-to-period comparisons, and provides a better understanding of underlying business trends and our future revenue growth prospects.

 

2


 

Management includes organic revenue for our Pricing and Reference Data, and Trading Solutions segments because management believes this additional level of detail provides further insight into underlying performance trends.

 

 

Management includes information regarding earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). We also include information regarding adjusted EBITDA, which we define as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and benefits, adjustments related to the amortization of acquisition-related deferred revenue, and other non-cash, non-operational or non-recurring items. In addition, management also includes information regarding pro forma adjusted EBITDA. We define this metric as earnings, excluding all of the above factors as well as other adjustments permitted under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities. Management considers these measures to be important indicators of the Company’s operational profitability and cash generation strength and a good measure of the Company’s historical operating trend because it eliminates items that are either not part of the Company’s ongoing core operations, do not require a cash outlay, or are not otherwise expected to recur in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company’s pro forma adjusted EBITDA measure is based on the definition of EBITDA set forth in the agreements governing the Company’s senior secured credit facilities.

 

 

Management includes information regarding free cash flow, which we define as adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures. Management considers free cash flow as another important measure of the Company’s cash generation strength that supports the Company’s ability to repay its debt obligations and invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions.

 

 

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring the Company’s core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by management in their financial and operating decision-making, and for forecasting and planning purposes. In addition, management also considers pro forma adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator which can be used for the purpose of analyzing covenant compliance under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities.

 

 

The non-GAAP financial measures of the Company’s results of operations included in this press release should not be considered in isolation from comparable measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for the Company’s results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the accompanying tables. The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Interactive Data’s adjusted EBITDA excludes items that are either not part of the Company’s ongoing core operations, do not require a cash outlay or are not otherwise expected to recur in the ordinary course. In addition to excluding the aforementioned items, Interactive Data’s pro forma adjusted EBITDA also reflects other adjustments permitted under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities. The Company’s pro forma adjusted EBITDA measure is based on the definition of EBITDA set forth in the agreements governing the Company’s senior secured credit facilities. Please note that the sum of certain amounts may not equal the total due to rounding.

2

Other non-recurring charges include the impact of the deferred revenue adjustment, the loss on extinguishment of debt, facility consolidation costs, and certain severance and retention expenses.

3 

Other charges include management fees, earnout-related expense, non-cash foreign exchange expense, acquisition-related adjustments, professional fees related to the registration of the Company’s debt securities, and other costs.

4

Adjusted EBITDA margin and pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin are calculated by dividing each EBITDA measure by non-GAAP revenue (total revenue less deferred revenue adjustment).

5

Pro forma cost savings of up to a maximum of $30 million annually is an adjustment permitted under the Company’s credit agreements for activities that may include, but are not limited to, the consolidation of a number of legacy organizational silos, technology platforms and content databases.
