Inuvo manages the business along two segments, the Partner Network and Owned and Operated Network and effective with the third quarter 2013, the Company is now reporting its results in these two new segments. The Partner Network facilitates transactions between advertisers and our partners' websites and applications. The Owned and Operated Network designs, builds and markets consumer websites and applications. This segment includes Inuvo’s mobile-ready ALOT websites, the ALOT Appbar and the BargainMatch CashBack application. The segments share the utilization of the company’s core technology platform.
Three-month financial results for the period ended September 30, 2013
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013, were $14.5 million, as compared to the $15.5 million reported in the three months ended September 30, 2012. The lower year over year revenue comparison for the quarter was due to the Owned and Operated Network segment, where revenue decreased to $3.7 million due primarily to a concerted effort to improve the profitability of the ALOT Appbar. Net revenue from the Partner Network segment was $10.8 million, a 67% increase over the same quarter last year. Total gross profit decreased to $6.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $8.7 million for the same period of 2012 due to the decrease in the Owned and Operated Network segment revenue.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $1.5 million compared to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. The Company reported net income of $640,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per share loss, for the corresponding period last year.
Nine-month financial results for the period ended September 30, 2013
Net revenues for the first nine months of 2013 were $43.6 million, up from the $37.1 million reported in the same nine months of 2012. The Partner Network segment revenue increased 59% to $28.2 million over the same period in 2012. Net revenue from the Owned and Operated Network segment was $15.3 million, or 35% of total net revenues. Gross profit increased to $20.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $18.9 million the same period of 2012. The higher gross profit is due to the growth in the Partner Network.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $3.7 million compared to $1.5 million in the same period of 2012. The Company reported net income of $730,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.2 million or a $0.30 per share loss for the corresponding period last year.
The Company's consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 include the financial results of its Vertro subsidiary from March 2012 forward; the prior year periods do not contain financial results of the Vertro subsidiary for the first two months of 2012. Net income includes various adjustments and charges to the company’s discontinued operations in Europe. In the third quarter and nine-month period of 2013, this had a favorable effect on net income of $50,000 and $458,000, respectively. In the third quarter and nine-month period of 2012, adjustments to the company’s discontinued operations in Europe had a favorable effect on net income of $14,000 and an unfavorable effect of $143,000, respectively.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations to Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), our earnings release contains the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA.”
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance because Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used financial analysis tool for measuring and comparing companies in the Company’s industry in areas of operating performance.
Management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA offers an additional view of the Company’s operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP net loss, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We defined Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) depreciation, (iii) amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) accrued severance and (vi) indirect costs incurred due to the merger with Vertro. These further adjustments are itemized above. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
