TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: PERI), formerly IncrediMail Ltd., today announced results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2011.
Third Quarter 2011 non-GAAP Financial Highlights Include:
- Record revenues increased 20% year-over-year to $9.0 million;
- Premium and other revenues increased 87% year over year to $3.0 million;
- Net income totaled $1.8 million, compared to $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2010;
- Year to date cash flow from operations totaled $5.4 million, cash balance of $9.5 million;
- Secured $20 million long term bank credit facility, still unutilized.
Commenting on the results, Josef Mandelbaum, Perion’s CEO, said, “With one month of consolidated activity included in our Q3 results, we can already see the positive impact that Smilebox has had on our operations and results. We had record revenues and most importantly, significant growth in premium and advertising sales, which provides us with a more balanced revenue mix. While our net income was lower on a year over year basis we are extremely pleased with our customer acquisition effort, which was the largest factor in our lower net income, and expect it to drive future revenue growth and profitability.”
Third Quarter 2011 Operating Metrics:
- Total downloads for the quarter were 4.0 million versus 2.9 million in Q3 2010
- Installed base was 9.6 million at the end of Q3, a 31% increase from the end of Q3 2010
- Total search queries for the quarter were 276 million, a 6% decrease from Q3 2010
- Premium subscribers increased to 370,000 a 125% increase from Q3 2010
Third Quarter 2011 Operational Highlights Include:
- Successfully completed Smilebox acquisition;
- Launched beta of webmail version for IncrediMail;
- Launched Smilebox mobile app on iPhone;
- Integrated Facebook photos into PhotoJoy;
- Expanded into new computer safety and security category with beta launch of Fixie.
“In addition,” Mandelbaum continued, “the integration with Smilebox is proceeding as planned and I am happy to report that on a non-GAAP basis Smilebox should be breakeven in Q4 of this year and we are confident that it will be profitable in Q1 of 2012, well ahead of plan. We continue to make good progress on our strategy and with our name change to Perion, the addition of Smilebox and launch of new organic products we continue to be excited about our broader landscape and the future it holds.”
Updated Fiscal Year 2011 Guidance:
With the addition of Smilebox, we are updating our guidance for 2011 and projecting non-GAAP revenue of $37 million and non-GAAP net income of approximately $8 million for this year.
Non-GAAP Financial Comparison for the Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011:
Revenue: Third quarter revenue reached a record $9.0 million, primarily as a result of the consolidation of Smilebox revenues and growth in other revenues from our IncrediMail product. In the first nine months of 2011 revenues were a record $25.7 million, up 19% compared to the same period last year. The year to date growth is primarily attributable to: the ongoing increase in search generated revenues, an increase in other revenues from our IncrediMail product, and the addition of Smilebox beginning in September.
Gross Profits: Third quarter gross profit was $8.4 million, up 18% from $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011 gross profits reached $24.3 million, increasing 18% compared to the first nine months of 2010. With the incorporation of revenues and the premium content licensing costs of our Smilebox product, the gross profit margin slightly decreased in the third quarter of 2011 compared to prior periods, and was approximately 93% of sales.
Customer Acquisition Costs: Third quarter CAC were $2.6 million, compared to $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, and in the first nine months of 2011 CAC were $4.9 million, compared to $1.3 million in the same period last year. This increase is a direct result of our growing media buying efforts, and the addition of the customer acquisition activities related to Smilebox.
EBITDA: Third quarter EBITDA decreased from $3.8 million in 2010 to $2.4 million this year, and for the first nine months of 2011 EBITDA was $8.5 million, compared to $10.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease in both the three and nine month measures is primarily a result of our increased CAC which was partially offset by the increase in gross profit.
Net Income: Third quarter net income decreased from $2.8 million in 2010 to $1.8 million this year, and for the first nine months of 2011 net income was $6.7 million, compared to $7.6 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increased investment in CAC with the expected delay in subsequent revenues, and was partially offset by the increase in revenues from advertising and search.
Cash Flow from Operations: Year to date cash flow from operations was $5.4 million compared to $7.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. This was largely due to the increase in trade accounts receivables of $1.7 million, which was received shortly after the end of the quarter, as well as the aforementioned lower net income which was due primarily to investments in CAC which had increased $2.2 million.

Non-GAAP measures
Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: Valuation adjustment on acquired deferred product revenues, amortization of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, one time compensation expenses, non-recurring tax benefits. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Business combination accounting rules requires us to recognize a legal performance obligation related to a revenue arrangement of an acquired entity. The amount assigned to that liability should be based on its fair value at the date of acquisition. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenue. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand our current and future operating cash flow performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income.
