MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 5, 2014--Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ:DRIV), a leading global provider of Commerce-as-a-Service solutions, reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Ended December 31, 2013
GAAP Results
Fourth quarter revenue totaled $101.2 million, exceeding management’s fourth quarter revenue guidance of $96.5 to $100.5 million. For the full year 2013, revenue was $389.7 million, exceeding management’s full year 2013 revenue guidance of $385 to $389 million. In 2012, fourth quarter revenue from continuing operations was $98.1 million, and full year revenue from continuing operations was $370.5 million.

Fourth quarter 2013 GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $0.1 million or $0.00 per share, exceeding management’s fourth quarter GAAP guidance of a net loss from continuing operations of $0.10 to $0.03 per share. For the full year 2013, GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $18.5 million or a net loss of $0.58 per share, exceeding management’s full year 2013 GAAP guidance of a net loss from continuing operations of $0.67 to $0.60 per share. In 2012, fourth quarter GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $188.8 million or $5.77 per share, and full year GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $183.6 million or $5.53 per share.

“I am pleased to report that we closed the year with solid results. Our revenue performance was driven by strong holiday sales through our customers’ commerce channels and the continued, strong organic growth of our global payments offerings,” said David Dobson, Digital River’s CEO. “We remain committed to creating more value for our customers and shareholders. The strategic transformation framework, which we initiated in 2013, is driving our execution priorities. As a result of the progress we have made, we have increased customer retention, expanded our business with existing customers, and started to win new customers in selected segments. As a result, we are going to redeploy some of the financial capacity we created in the fourth quarter to accelerate our technology transformation, continue to expand our global footprint and increase our investment in payments to sustain the rapid growth of this part of our business.”

Share Repurchase
During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased approximately $7.3 million of common stock. All transactions took place in the open market.

Non-GAAP Net Income Calculation
Digital River’s non-GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations is computed by adjusting GAAP pre-tax income from continuing operations as reported on the company’s statement of operations by adding back, when applicable, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, intangible impairments, restructuring related costs, litigation settlement related costs, acquisition and integration costs, realized and unrealized investment gains or losses, and goodwill impairments, net of a 21 percent tax rate. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is calculated using the “if-converted” method with respect to the issuance of the company’s 2004 and 2010 convertible notes. In computing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, if an increase in earnings per share will not result, adjust non-GAAP net income from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations 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.
