Cash provided by operating activities was $3.2 million and $3.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Operating and Business Results

 

In the first quarter of 2014, realtor.com®, which empowers consumers to make smart home buying, selling and renting decisions by leveraging its direct, real-time connections with more than 800 multiple listing services (MLS) via all types of computers, tablets and smart telephones, continued its innovation with a fresh approach to consumer marketing and new neighborhood content.  Significant changes are:

 

·                  Launched first national television campaign featuring our leadership in data accuracy and the realtor.com® brand.

 

·                  Drove significant increases in traffic to realtor.com® with our brand campaign.  In March, we attracted nearly 33 million unique users, up 21% year-over-year and 23% month-over-month.

 

·                  Implemented new features to the realtor.com® site to improve user experience, including larger photos and new map functionality.

 

·                  Launched Doorsteps’ SwipeTM, an easy-to-use and entertaining way for first-time home buyers to search for a home.  The new application was featured in the App Store, and was rated number one in the lifestyle category.  Consumers have viewed more than two million homes with consumers swiping on average 20 times per session.

 

·                  Entered into an approved supplier agreement with RE/MAX, which is designed to maximize lead generation and lead conversion for RE/MAX agents, teams and brokers and has the goal of quadrupling an agent’s book of business.

 

·                  Launched the Porch Home and Neighborhood Report, a free, innovative resource that helps realtor.com® users understand the remodeling and project history of a specific home and its neighborhood.

 

Subsequent to quarter end, realtor.com®, and its partner, the National Association of REALTORS®, are joining forces to increase consumer awareness with a new and combined marketing campaign.

 

Additionally, Move’s central intelligence and listing syndication platform, ListHubTM, continues to expand its reach by distributing content from more than 500 sources to more than 130 publishers.  Contributing to its growth momentum are two key alliances introduced in Q1:

 

·                  ListHubTM expanded its reach to new locations in Asia, Russia, Western Europe and South America through arrangements with SouFun Holdings Limited, the leading real estate portal in China, and ListGlobally, which recently announced a merger with Eden Home creating the largest network of international property portals. The partnership with ListGlobally now provides ListHubTM customers a network of 91 publishers in 41 countries.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share

 

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Move uses a non-GAAP measure of net income excluding net interest expense, income tax expense and certain other non-cash and non-recurring items, principally depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and charges, which is referred to as Adjusted EBITDA.  Move also uses a non-GAAP measure of net income excluding stock-based compensation and charges, amortization of intangible assets, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, on a per share basis, which is referred to as Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share.  Additionally, the Company has presented a non-GAAP table of Financial Data for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 that extracts stock-based compensation and charges.  A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the attached tables.  These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of Move’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures are the primary basis management uses for planning and forecasting its future operations.  Move believes these non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that it believes are not indicative of its core operating results and provide a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters and should be carefully evaluated.  Move,

Unique Users

 

Move calculates total average monthly unique users across its network of websites and mobile applications as follows:  We count a unique user the first time an individual accesses one of our mobile applications using a mobile device during a calendar month and the first time an individual accesses one of our websites using a web browser during a calendar month.  If an individual accesses our mobile applications using different mobile devices within a given calendar month, the first instance of access by each such mobile device is counted as a separate unique user.  If an individual accesses our websites using different web browsers within a calendar month, the first instance of access by each such web browser is counted as a separate unique user.  If an individual accesses more than one of our websites from the same web browser in a calendar month, the first instance of access to each website is counted as a separate unique user.  We measure unique users to our mobile applications using Omniture.  We primarily measure unique users to our network of websites using Omniture.  We use Google Analytics to measure unique users to certain websites that amount to less than 5% of our total unique user metric.

(2)  Effective October 1, 2013, the Company elected to change the presentation of certain lead acquisition costs and to reclassify these costs from “Cost of revenue” to “Sales and marketing” within its Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to be more consistent with certain of its peers and to combine all traffic acquisition costs that are not considered directly related to the fulfillment of products into “Sales and marketing.”  This had the effect of decreasing “Cost of revenue” and increasing “Sales and marketing” expense by $1.8 million, or 3% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
