Total revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $22.4 million, an increase from $17.3 million for the third quarter of 2012.

Net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2012 was $2.0 million or $0.31 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $831,000, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.0 million for the same period a year ago. A reconciliation of net loss as reported to adjusted EBITDA is included in this release.

Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Launched over 477 new products, including 98 exclusive products
  • Total cash and investments at the end of the third quarter 2013 was $40.7 million which included $3 million received related to the sale of the media business, compared to $37.9 million in the third quarter of 2012, which included $17 million received from the sale of the media business

"ThinkGeek had a great third quarter, highlighted by 30% revenue growth, an increase in gross margin and significant progress on the bottom line," said Kathryn McCarthy, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

We launched our Holiday Gift Center on November 1st and we are looking forward to bringing many new products to life during the holiday season."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we also report adjusted EBITDA. The method we use to calculate adjusted EBITDA is not in accordance with GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to both management and investors and is an additional measurement which may be used to evaluate our operating performance. Our management and Board of Directors use adjusted EBITDA as part of their reporting and planning process and it is the primary measure we use to evaluate our operating performance. In addition, we have historically reported adjusted EBITDA to the investment community. We also believe that the financial analysts who regularly follow and report on us and the business sector in which we compete use adjusted EBITDA to prepare their financial performance estimates to measure our performance against other sector participants and to project our future financial results.

We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings or loss from continuing operations before gain on sale of non-marketable securities, interest and other expense, income taxes, stock-based compensation and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain expenses that we believe are not directly related to our core operating results. Although some of the items may recur on a regular basis, management does not consider activities associated with these items as core to its operations. With respect to stock-based compensation, we recognize expenses associated with stock-based compensation that require management to make assumptions about our common stock, such as expected future stock price volatility, the anticipated duration of outstanding stock options and awards and the forfeiture rate. While other forms of expenses (such as cash compensation, inventory costs and real estate costs) are reasonably correlated to our underlying business and such costs are incurred principally or wholly in the particular fiscal period being reported, stock-based compensation expense is not reasonably correlated to the particular fiscal period in question, but rather is based on expected future events that have no relationship (and in certain instances, an inverse relationship) with how well we currently operate our business.

These statements are based on our current expectations, and involve risks and uncertainties.

Investors should consult our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, sec.gov, including the risk factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, for further information regarding these and other risks of our business.
