Angie's List Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results
• | Gross member additions of approximately 399,000 at an average cost per acquisition of $90 |
• | Revenue of $78.9 million, representing a 33% increase over the prior year quarter |
• | Cash provided by operations of $2.6 million and $17.5 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 |
INDIANAPOLIS — July 23, 2014 — Angie’s List, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGI) announced today second quarter 2014 financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
“We reported solid results for the second quarter while continuing to invest in our marketplace,” said Angie’s List CEO Bill Oesterle. “We increased marketing spend during a seasonally strong period and had a record quarter in gross new member additions, which we believe reflects the continued resonance of our value proposition. While revenue growth in e-commerce was lower than expected, we continued to make progress against our strategy of enabling service providers and populating their stores with offers. We expect significant improvement in margin in the second half of the year and continue to see compelling opportunities for growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), Angie’s List has disclosed in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, which Angie’s List defines as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock-based compensation. Angie’s List uses Adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing its financial results and has determined to disclose this measure to investors because it believes it will be useful to them, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Angie’s List’s operating performance relative to its industry sector and competitors. Angie’s List believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides additional insight for investors to use in evaluation of ongoing operating results and trends. However, non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Angie’s List has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures and other contractual commitments, interest payments and income taxes that are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing non-cash stock-based compensation to Angie’s List’s management and other employees. It should also be noted that other companies, including companies in the same industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a different manner than Angie’s List. Angie’s List has provided a reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
