LOS ANGELES —February 13, 2014—j2 Global, Inc. [NASDAQGS:JCOM] today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, provided fiscal 2014 financial estimates and announced that its Board of Directors has declared an increased quarterly cash dividend of $0.2625 per share.
FOURTH QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
Quarterly revenues increased 35.3% to $138.0 million compared to $102.0 million for Q4 2012.
Quarterly EBITDA(4) increased 26.9% to $65.6 million compared to $51.7 million for Q4 2012.
GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter decreased 32.3% to $0.44 compared to $0.65 for Q4 2012, primarily due to the acquisition of the remaining portion of Ziff Davis, Inc. not previously owned, which resulted in a non-cash charge of $14.4 million or $0.31 per share.
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share(1)(2) increased 14.3% to $0.80 compared to $0.70 for Q4 2012.
The Company has historically reported non-GAAP earnings per diluted share inclusive of amortization of acquired intangibles. For Q4 2013 and going forward, to more closely align the Company’s reported non-GAAP earnings with its cash earnings, the Company is reporting non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exclusive of amortization of acquired intangibles. To avoid confusion, we refer to this new non-GAAP financial measure as “Adjusted earnings per diluted share”.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share(1)(3) increased 18.1% to $0.91 compared to $0.77 for Q4 2012.
Q4 2013 free cash flow(5) increased 11.7% to $50.5 million compared to $45.2 million for Q4 2012.
Cancel rate(6) for the quarter continued to decline to an all-time record low of 2.17%.
j2 ended the quarter with $346 million in cash and investments after deploying $56.6 million during the quarter for acquisitions and the payment of j2's regular quarterly dividend.
Key financial results for fourth quarter 2013 versus fourth quarter 2012 are set forth in the following table (in millions, except per share). Reconciliations of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, Adjusted earnings per diluted share, EBITDA and free cash flow to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are attached to this Press Release.

“We are all very proud of our accomplishments during 2013,” said Hemi Zucker, CEO of j2. “We made significant inroads in our program to broaden our revenue base beyond digital fax while continuing to grow our digital fax business. We invested in and built upon our strong position in the Digital Media space and expanded our rapidly growing online backup business. As a result, our non-fax business has grown to represent 45% of our 2013 revenue versus 17% five years ago, notwithstanding continued growth in our fax business over this period. We were able to achieve these results while maintaining our focus on profitability and cash generation. This allowed us to deploy $181 million on acquisitions and dividends during 2013 and still end the year with more cash and investments than when we started 2013. These efforts have put j2 in a strong position as we grow both our fax and non-fax revenues while maintaining growth in our earnings and cash flow.”
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
For fiscal 2014, the Company estimates that it will achieve revenues between $580 and $600 million and Adjusted earnings per diluted share of between $3.23 and $3.47.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share for 2014 excludes share-based compensation of between $10 and $12 million, amortization of acquired intangibles and the impact of any currently unanticipated items, in each case net of tax.
It is anticipated that the normalized tax rate for 2014 (exclusive of the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions) will be between 27% and 29%.
DIVIDEND
j2’s Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.2625 per common share, a 2.9% increase versus last quarter's dividend and a 12.9% increase versus the dividend paid in Q1 2013. This is j2’s tenth consecutive quarterly dividend increase and represents a 31.25% increase versus its first quarterly dividend in September, 2011. The dividend will be paid on March 10, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 24, 2014. Future dividends will be subject to Board approval.
