Endurance International Group Reports 2013 Third Quarter Results

BURLINGTON, MA (December 3, 2013) — Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EIGI), a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions designed to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed online, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 today.

“We’re excited to report great results for the third quarter, our first as a public company. We demonstrated strong organic revenue growth while increasing adjusted EBITDA and unlevered free cash flow. Our company’s strategy is based on two simple principles: adding more high quality subscribers to our platform and then selling our subscribers more value added solutions. During the quarter, we added over 70,000 new subscribers, bringing our year to date net new additions to 217,000. Further, we continued to increase our average revenue per subscriber (ARPS), which grew to $13.14 for the quarter,” commented Hari Ravichandran, CEO and Founder of Endurance International Group.

Third Quarter Highlights

 

    Revenue increased 59% to $132.9 million compared to $83.4 million for the third quarter of 2012.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA increased 36% to $50.3 million compared to $37.1 million for the third quarter of 2012.

 

    Net loss was $27.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $27.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012.

 

    Unlevered free cash flow (UFCF) increased 48% to $43.1 million, compared to $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2012.

 

    Total subscribers were approximately 3.440 million as of September 30, 2013, a sequential increase of approximately 70,000 from 3.370 million as of June 30, 2013, and a year-over-year increase of approximately 326,000 from 3.114 million as of September 30, 2012.

 

    ARPS was $13.14 for the third quarter of 2013, representing a sequential increase of $0.13 from $13.01 for the second quarter of 2013, and a year-over-year increase of $0.19 from $12.95 for the third quarter of 2012.

 

    Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) retention rate remained at 99%, consistent with our MRR retention rate for the second quarter of 2013 and the third quarter of 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA, UFCF and ARPS are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is provided in the financial statement tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures is also provided below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Recent Developments

The company completed its initial public offering in October 2013, pursuant to which it sold 21,051,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $12.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $252.6 million. On November 25, 2013, Endurance completed a refinancing of its bank debt. Using proceeds from its initial public offering, cash on hand and incremental first lien facilities, the company repaid its $315 million second lien term loan and secured a lower effective interest rate. Following the transaction, the company’s outstanding bank debt is $1,050 million. As compared with the bifurcated term loan facility in place at September 30, 2013, the new single tranche of first lien debt is expected to lower the company’s annualized term loan interest expense by over $35 million, based on the current loan balance and new interest rates.

2013 Guidance

The company is providing fiscal year 2013 guidance as follows:

 

    Adjusted Revenue of approximately $525 million

The Adjusted Revenue metric adds back $0.5 million in the fourth quarter 2013 and $7.3 million for the full year 2013 associated with purchase accounting adjustments to our GAAP revenue.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance our understanding of past performance and future prospects. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flow that includes or excludes amounts that are included or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We monitor the non-GAAP financial measures described below, and we believe they are helpful to investors, because we believe they reflect the operating performance of our business and help management and investors gauge our ability to generate cash flow, excluding some recurring and non-recurring expenses that are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Further, interest expense, which is excluded from some of our non-GAAP financial measures, has and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss) plus changes in deferred revenue inclusive of purchase accounting adjustments related to acquisitions, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, severance, expenses related to restructurings or integration of acquisitions, any dividend-related payments accounted for as compensation expense, costs associated with litigation matters and preparation for the initial public offering and the estimated tax effects of the foregoing adjustments. Due to our history of acquisitions and financings, we have incurred accounting charges and expenses that obscure the operating performance of our business. We believe that adjusting for these items and the use of adjusted net income is useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our company.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as adjusted net income plus interest expense, depreciation, amortization and change in deferred taxes. We manage our business based on the cash collected from our subscribers and the cash required to acquire and service those subscribers. We believe highlighting cash collected and cash spent in a given period is valuable insight for an investor to gauge the overall health of our business. Under GAAP, although subscription fees are paid in advance, we recognize the associated revenue over the subscription term, which does not fully reflect short-term trends in our operating results.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow

Unlevered free cash flow, or UFCF, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as adjusted EBITDA plus changes in operating assets and liabilities (other than deferred revenue) net of acquisitions less capital expenditures. We believe the most useful indicator of our operating performance is the cash generating potential of our company prior to the impact of our capital structure and prior to any accounting charges related to our acquisitions. We have substantial indebtedness primarily as a result of the December 2011 acquisition of a controlling interest in our company by investment funds and entities affiliated with Warburg Pincus and Goldman Sachs and a substantial dividend payment in November 2012. We also believe that because our business has meaningful data center and related infrastructure requirements, the level of capital expenditures required to run our business are an important factor for investors. We believe UFCF is a useful measure that captures the effects of these issues.

Adjusted Revenue

Adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as GAAP revenue adjusted to exclude the impact of any fair value adjustments to deferred revenue resulting from acquisitions and to include the revenue generated from subscribers we added through business acquisitions as if those acquired subscribers had been our subscribers since the beginning of the period presented. We believe that excluding fair value adjustments to deferred revenue is useful to investors because it shows our revenue prior to purchase accounting adjustments related to our acquisitions, and that including revenue from acquired subscribers in this manner provides a helpful comparison of the revenues generated from our subscribers from period to period.

Average Revenue Per Subscriber

Average revenue per subscriber, or ARPS, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as the amount of adjusted revenue we recognize from subscribers in a period divided by the average of the number of total subscribers at the beginning of the period and at the end of the period. We believe ARPS is an indicator of our ability to optimize our product and service mix and pricing, and to sell products and services to new and existing subscribers.
