VIMEO REPORTS Q1 2021 – Q1 REVENUE INCREASES 57% TO $89 MILLION

 

Vimeo expected to begin trading as an independent public company on May 25, 2021

 

NEW YORK— May 5, 2021—Vimeo released its first quarter results today. Monthly metrics for Vimeo through April 2021 are included on page 2 of this release. A letter to IAC shareholders from IAC CEO Joey Levin will be posted after the close of market trading on Thursday, May 6, 2021 on the Investor Relations section of IAC’s website at ir.iac.com.

 

IAC shareholders are expected to meet on May 14, 2021 to vote on the proposal to effect the Spin-off of Vimeo. If approved, we expect post-spin Vimeo to begin trading on Nasdaq (ticker symbol “VMEO”) on May 25, 2021, after trading on a “when-issued” basis on May 18^th through May 24^th.

 

“We are witnessing the rapid proliferation of video into every aspect of business communication. The past year has seen a clear acceleration of demand from organizations looking to leverage professional-quality video in their digital transformation,” said Anjali Sud, Chief Executive Officer of Vimeo. “Vimeo was built to solve this. We had a record quarter with accelerating revenue growth, expanding gross margins and profitability, and we continued to deliver momentum within the enterprise, with enterprise revenue up more than 100% year-over-year. Looking ahead, our focus remains on product innovation to enable every business to use video with tools that are far easier, more powerful and more cost effective than ever before.”

VIMEO PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Vimeo reports Adjusted EBITDA, which is a supplemental measure to GAAP. This is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our business, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, however, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Vimeo endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure, which are included in this release. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

 

Definition of Non-GAAP Measure

 

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is defined as operating income excluding: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation; and (3) acquisition-related items consisting of amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, if applicable. We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful comparison between our performance and that of our competitors. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes the impact of these expenses.

 

Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From Adjusted EBITDA

 

Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense associated with the grants of stock appreciation rights (SARs), including performance-based SARs, and restricted stock units in Vimeo and IAC stock options issued to employees of Vimeo and an allocation of expense from IAC related to awards issued to corporate employees of IAC that were granted under various IAC stock and annual incentive plans. These expenses are not paid in cash and we view the economic costs of stock-based awards to be the dilution to our share base; we also include the related shares in our diluted shares outstanding for GAAP earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Performance-based SARs are included only to the extent the applicable performance condition(s) have been met (assuming the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period). Upon exercise of stock appreciation rights, the awards are settled on a net basis and Vimeo remits the required tax-withholding amounts from its current funds.

 

Please see page 3 for a summary of our estimated dilutive securities as of April 30, 2021 and a description of the calculation methodology.

 

Depreciation is a non-cash expense relating to our leasehold improvements and equipment and is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter.

 

Amortization of intangible assets and impairments of goodwill and intangible assets are non-cash expenses related primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the identifiable definite-lived intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer relationships, technology and trade names, are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. An impairment is recorded when the carrying value of an intangible asset or goodwill exceeds its fair value. We believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairments of intangible assets or goodwill, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business.

 

 

Metric Definitions

 

Gross Margin – Revenue less cost of revenue, divided by revenue.

 

Subscribers – The number of users who have an active subscription to one of Vimeo’s paid plans measured at the end of the relevant period. Vimeo counts each account with a subscription plan as a subscriber. In the case of enterprise customers who maintain multiple accounts across Vimeo’s platforms as part of a single enterprise subscription plan, Vimeo counts only one subscriber. Vimeo does not count team members who have access to a subscriber’s account as additional subscribers.

 

Average Subscribers – The sum of the number of Subscribers at the beginning and at the end of the relevant measurement period divided by two.

 

Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”) – The annualized revenue for the relevant period divided by Average Subscribers. For periods that are less than a full year, annualized revenue is calculated by dividing the revenue for that particular period by the number of calendar days in the period and multiplying this value by the number of days in that year.

 

Enterprise Net Revenue Retention (“NRR”) – The sum of (a) annualized subscription revenue for enterprise subscribers at the end of the period that also existed twelve months prior and (b) the variable revenue attributed to these same subscribers over the preceding twelve months and dividing that by the annualized subscription revenue for all subscribers that existed twelve months prior plus the variable revenue attributed to this same set of subscribers over the twelve months prior to that date.

 

Enterprise Customers – Subscribers who purchase plans through contact with our sales force.
