  • Progress Continues Toward Planned Spin-off of FTD
  • Quarterly Consolidated Revenues of $219.0 Million
  • Quarterly Consolidated Operating Loss of $14.9 Million Due to a $26.9 Million Non-Cash Impairment Charge on the MyPoints Business
  • Quarterly Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA of $32.7 Million
  • Quarterly FTD Segment Revenues Increase 7% Year-Over-Year

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2013-- United Online, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNTD), a leading provider of consumer products and services over the Internet, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.

“We are continuing to work toward our planned spin-off of FTD as an independent, publicly-traded company, and expect to complete this transaction by the end of the third quarter of 2013. We already have submitted our request for a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the tax-free status of the spin-off,” said Mark R. Goldston, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Online. “We also are continuing to explore strategic alternatives for our other businesses and monetization opportunities for our patent portfolio.”

“Fourth quarter 2012 results were in line with expectations, as consolidated revenues and adjusted OIBDA were within our guidance range,” Goldston said. “FTD segment revenues for the fourth quarter and full year 2012 increased 7% and 4%, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods, driven by increases in consumer orders. FTD segment adjusted OIBDA for the fourth quarter and full year 2012 increased 2% and 4%, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods. During the quarter, the FTD segment achieved its eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, when prior periods are adjusted for the timing of the U.K. Mother’s Day in 2011.”

“In our Communications segment, quarterly revenues increased 6% compared to the third quarter of 2012, the largest sequential-quarter increase in almost eight years,” Goldston continued. “This increase was driven by increased advertising revenues, which are seasonally stronger in the fourth quarter, and by growth in the number of accounts in our NetZero 4G mobile broadband business, which reached approximately 32,000 at year-end 2012. In our Content & Media segment, pay accounts declined by 123,000 during the quarter, the smallest net decrease in two and a half years. The quarterly net decrease in segment pay accounts has now improved for four consecutive quarters.”

“Consolidated cash flows from operating activities and free cash flow for the quarter were $41.7 million and $41.8 million, respectively, representing increases of 6% and 19%, respectively, compared to the year-ago quarter. These increases resulted primarily from favorable changes in net working capital and a decrease in capital expenditures, partially offset by decreased adjusted OIBDA,” said Neil P. Edwards, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “In the fourth quarter, the company recorded a $26.9 million goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge due to a material decline in the fair value of our MyPoints reporting unit. This was a non-cash charge, which did not impact adjusted OIBDA, cash flows from operating activities or free cash flow.”

Non-GAAP Measures:

In evaluating the company’s performance, management uses one or more of the following measures that are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”): adjusted OIBDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic and diluted net income per common share, and free cash flow. These measures are adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. In addition, these measures are adjusted to exclude the items discussed below because such items are either operating expenses which would not otherwise have been incurred by the company in the normal course of the company’s business operations or are not reflective of the company’s core results over time. These items may include recurring as well as non-recurring items. These adjustments should not be construed as an inference that all of these adjustments or costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. For example, certain restructuring and other exit costs may be considered recurring given the company’s ongoing efforts to be more cost effective and efficient, certain litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains may be viewed as recurring given that the company is continually involved in, and resolving, litigation, arbitration, investigations, disputes and similar matters, and certain transaction-related costs may be deemed recurring given the company's regular evaluation of potential transactions. Notwithstanding that certain charges, costs or gains may be considered recurring, in order to provide meaningful comparisons, the company believes that it is appropriate to adjust for such charges, costs or gains because they are not reflective of the company's core results and tend to vary based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

Restructuring and Other Exit Costs — Restructuring and other exit costs consist primarily of employee termination costs, facility closure and relocation costs and contract termination costs.

Litigation or Dispute Settlement Charges or Gains — These charges or gains include estimated losses for which we have established a reserve, as well as actual settlements, judgments, fines, penalties, assessments or other resolutions against, or in favor of, the company related to litigation, arbitration, investigations, disputes or similar matters. Insurance recoveries received by the company related to such matters are also included in these adjustments.

Transaction-Related Costs —The company excludes certain expense items resulting from actual or potential transactions such as business combinations, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, spin-offs, financing transactions, and other strategic transactions, including, without limitation, (i) compensation expenses and (ii) expenses for advisors and representatives such as investment bankers, consultants, attorneys, and accounting firms. Transaction-related costs may also include, without limitation, transition and integration costs such as retention bonuses and acquisition-related milestone payments to acquired employees.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures:

(1) Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (“adjusted OIBDA”) is defined by the company as operating income before depreciation; amortization; stock-based compensation; restructuring and other exit costs; litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains; transaction-related costs; and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. The company's definition of adjusted OIBDA has been modified from time to time. Management believes that because adjusted OIBDA excludes (i) certain non-cash expenses (such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets) and (ii) expenses that are not reflective of the company’s core operating results over time (such as restructuring and other exit costs, litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, and transaction-related costs), this measure provides investors with additional useful information to measure the company's financial performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period. Management uses adjusted OIBDA to measure the company’s performance. The company’s board of directors has used this measure as a basis in determining certain compensation incentives for certain members of the company's management. Adjusted OIBDA is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation associated with the use of adjusted OIBDA is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company's business. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial activities such as evaluations of capital expenditures and purchase accounting. An additional limitation associated with this measure is that it does not include stock-based compensation expenses related to the company’s workforce. Management compensates for this limitation by providing a summary of stock-based compensation expenses within the accompanying tables and in the footnotes accompanying its financial statements. A further limitation associated with the use of this measure is that it does not reflect the costs of restructuring and other exit costs, litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, transaction-related costs, and the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. Management compensates for this limitation by providing supplemental information about such charges, gains and costs within its financial press releases and SEC filings, when applicable. An additional limitation associated with the use of this measure is that the term “adjusted OIBDA” does not have a standardized meaning. Therefore, other companies may use the same or a similarly named measure but exclude different items or use different computations, which may not provide investors a comparable view of the company’s performance in relation to other companies. Management compensates for this limitation by presenting the most comparable GAAP measure, operating income, directly ahead of adjusted OIBDA within its financial press releases and by providing a reconciliation that shows and describes the adjustments made. A reconciliation to operating income is provided in the accompanying tables. In addition, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring in nature and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future.

Adjusted OIBDA for each of the company's segments is defined by the company as segment income from operations, as set forth in the company’s Forms 10-K and Forms 10-Q, before stock-based compensation, restructuring and other exit costs, litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, transaction-related costs and the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. The company’s definition of adjusted OIBDA for each of the company’s segments has been modified from time to time. Management believes that because segment adjusted OIBDA and segment adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of segment revenues exclude (i) certain non-cash expenses (such as stock-based compensation, and the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets); and (ii) expenses that are not reflective of the segment's core operating results over time (such as restructuring and other exit costs, litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, and transaction-related costs), these measures provide investors with additional useful information to evaluate the company’s segment financial performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period. Segment adjusted OIBDA and segment adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of segment revenues are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation associated with these measures is that they do not include stock-based compensation expenses related to the company’s workforce. Management compensates for this limitation by providing a summary of stock-based compensation expenses within the accompanying tables and in the footnotes accompanying its financial statements. A further limitation associated with the use of these measures is that they do not reflect the costs of restructuring and other exit costs, litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, transaction-related costs and impairment charges related to an operating segment. Management compensates for this limitation by providing supplemental information about such charges, gains and costs by segment within its financial press releases and SEC filings, when applicable. A reconciliation to segment income from operations, its most comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the accompanying tables.

(2) Adjusted net income is defined by the company as net income before the after-tax effect of: stock-based compensation; amortization of intangible assets; impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets; restructuring and other exit costs; litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains; transaction-related costs; and the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets. Adjusted diluted net income per common share includes the adjustment for shares resulting from the elimination of stock-based compensation. Management believes that adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share provide investors with additional useful information to measure the company’s financial performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period, because these measures are exclusive of (i) certain non-cash expenses (such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets) and (ii) expenses that are not reflective of the company’s core results over time (such as restructuring and other exit costs, litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, and transaction-related costs). Management also uses adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share for this purpose. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The limitations of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share are that, similar to adjusted OIBDA, they do not include certain costs, and the terms “adjusted net income” and “adjusted diluted net income per common share” do not have standardized meanings. Therefore, other companies may use the same or similarly named measures but exclude different items or use different computations, which may not provide investors a comparable view of the company’s performance in relation to other companies. Management compensates for this limitation by presenting the most comparable GAAP measures, net income and diluted net income per common share, directly ahead of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share within its financial press releases and by providing a reconciliation of adjusted net income that shows and describes the adjustments made. A reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income, its most comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the accompanying tables.

(3) Free cash flow is defined by the company as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and cash received for litigation or dispute settlement gains, and plus the excess tax benefits from equity awards, cash paid for restructuring and other exit costs, cash paid for litigation or dispute settlement charges, and cash paid for transaction-related costs. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with additional useful information to measure operating liquidity because it reflects the company’s operating cash flows after investing in capital assets and prior to cash paid for restructuring and other exit costs, cash paid or received for litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, and cash paid for transaction-related costs. It also fully reflects the tax benefits realized by the company from stock-based compensation. This measure is used by management, and may also be useful for investors, to assess the company’s ability to pay its quarterly dividend, repay debt obligations, generate cash flow for a variety of strategic opportunities, including reinvestment in the business, and effect potential acquisitions and share repurchases. Free cash flow is not determined in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in cash during the period. An additional limitation associated with the use of this measure is that the term “free cash flow” does not have a standardized meaning. Therefore, other companies may use the same or a similarly named measure but exclude different items or use different computations, which may not provide investors a comparable view of the company’s performance in relation to other companies. Management compensates for this limitation by presenting the most comparable GAAP measure, net cash provided by operating activities, directly ahead of free cash flow within its financial press releases and by providing a reconciliation that shows and describes the adjustments made. A reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities is provided in the accompanying tables.

(4) Consumer orders are orders delivered during the period that originated in the U.S. and Canada, primarily from the www.ftd.com and www.ftd.ca websites and the 1-800-SEND-FTD telephone number, and in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland, primarily from the www.interflora.co.uk, www.flyingflowers.co.uk, www.flowersdirect.co.uk, and www.interflora.ie websites and various telephone numbers. The number of consumer orders is not adjusted for non-delivered orders that are refunded after the scheduled delivery date. Orders originating with a florist or other retail location for delivery to consumers are not included.

Average order value represents the average U.S. Dollar amount received for consumer orders delivered during a period. For orders placed outside the U.S. (principally in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland), this average U.S. Dollar amount is determined after translating the local currency amounts received into U.S. Dollars. Average order value includes merchandise revenues and shipping, handling and service fees paid by the consumer, less discounts and refunds (net of refund-related fees charged to floral network members).

(5) A pay account is defined as a member who has paid for a subscription to a Content & Media or Communications service, and whose subscription has not terminated or expired. A subscription provides the member with access to our service for a specific term (for example, a month or a year) and may be renewed upon the expiration of each term. One-time purchases of our services are not considered subscriptions and thus, are not included in the pay accounts metric. A pay account does not equate to a unique subscriber since one subscriber could have several pay accounts. In addition, at any point in time, our pay account base includes a number of accounts receiving a free period of service as either a promotion or retention tool, such as the subscribers receiving our free NetZero 4G mobile broadband service, and a number of accounts that have notified us that they are terminating their service but whose service remains in effect.

Content & Media segment active accounts are defined as the sum of all pay accounts as of the date presented; the monthly average for the period of all free accounts who have visited our domestic or international online nostalgia websites (excluding schoolFeed and The Names Database) at least once during the period; and the monthly average for the period of all online loyalty marketing members who have earned or redeemed points during such period. Communications segment active accounts include all Communications segment pay accounts as of the date presented combined with the number of free dial-up Internet access and email accounts that logged on to our services at least once during the preceding 31 days.

(6) ARPU is calculated by dividing services revenues generated from the pay accounts of our Content & Media or Communications segment, as applicable, for a period (after translation into U.S. Dollars) by the average number of segment pay accounts for that period, divided by the number of months in that period.

(7) Our average monthly churn rate is calculated as the total number of pay accounts that terminated or expired in a period divided by the average number of pay accounts for that period, divided by the number of months in that period. Our average monthly churn percentage may fluctuate from period to period due to our mix of subscription terms, which affects the timing of subscription expirations, and other factors. We make certain normalizing adjustments to the calculation of our churn percentage for periods in which we add a significant number of pay accounts due to acquisitions. For our Communications segment pay accounts, we do not include in our churn calculation dial-up accounts canceled during the first 30 days of service unless the accounts have upgraded from free accounts, although a number of such accounts will be included in our account totals at any given measurement date. Additionally, we do not include 4G mobile broadband accounts canceled during the first 30 days of service provided the mobile broadband device is returned within 30 days of cancelation. Subscribers who cancel one pay service but subscribe to another pay service are not necessarily considered to have canceled a pay account depending on the services and, as such, our segment churn rates are not necessarily indicative of the percentage of subscribers canceling any particular service.
