Harris Interactive® Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2013 Results
Exceeds Full Year Adjusted EBITDA Guidance; Meets Full Year Revenue Guidance
Rochester, N.Y. — August 22, 2013 — Harris Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ: HPOL), a leading global market research firm, today announced its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2013 financial results.
Al Angrisani, President and Chief Executive Officer of Harris Interactive, commented, “We are pleased with our full fiscal 2013 financial performance, which led to profitability that was above the high end of our adjusted EBITDA guidance and represented more than a 20% year over year improvement. We also are pleased that we generated sufficient cash in fiscal 2013 to pay off all our outstanding debt prior to maturity, and increased our net cash position by more than $10 million. Going forward, we will begin the transition away from the turnaround of the last two fiscal years to a business model focused on investing in the business for long term shareholder value creation.”
Eric Narowski, Chief Financial Officer of Harris Interactive, commented, “Based on current market conditions and forecasts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, the Company projects adjusted EBITDA of between $14.5 and $16.5 million.”
