Fourth quarter 2017 operating results

Non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $15.0 million, or 23% of revenue, compared to $10.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. 2017 non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA includes $3.7 million of non-recurring charges, primarily related to cost reduction initiatives.

Full year 2017 operating results
Revenue for the year was $235.8 million, an increase of 16% compared to $203.4 million for 2016. 2017 GAAP revenue was reduced by a $3.1 million purchase accounting adjustment related to Olapic deferred revenue.

A reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.

Pro Forma operating results
Pro Forma results assume the company had owned Olapic for the full periods presented, and exclude the impact of purchase accounting related adjustments, as well as transaction costs. This is the last period during which the company will report Pro Forma results.

Pro Forma non-GAAP revenue in the fourth quarter was $65.3 million and Pro Forma non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $15.3 million.

Pro Forma non-GAAP revenue for the full year was $238.9 million and Pro Forma non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA was $55.1 million, which again includes $3.9 million of non-recurring costs.

Taxes
As a result of the new tax reform, included in Monotype’s Q4 tax provision is a $16.8 million one-time benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities based on the new corporate income tax rates. This benefit is partially offset by a $5.6 million charge related to new limitations in how the company can utilize its foreign tax credits.

Cash and cash flow
Monotype had cash and cash equivalents of $82.8 million as of December 31, 2017, compared to $79.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and $91.4 million as of December 31, 2016. The company generated $12.1 million of cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2017 and $32.9 million for the full year 2017. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the company repaid $3.0 million on its outstanding revolving line of credit.

In the fourth quarter, Monotype repurchased 24,000 shares of common stock on the open market at prevailing market prices for a total consideration of approximately $500,000 as part of the stock repurchase program announced in August 2016, which expired on December 31, 2017. For the full period of the authorization, the company repurchased approximately 650,000 shares on the open market at prevailing market prices for a total consideration of approximately $12.6 million.

Capital allocation priorities
“We remain committed to returning capital to our shareholders, as evidenced by our history and practice of share repurchase and quarterly dividends, which has totaled about $135 million over the last five years,” said Tony Callini. “At the same time, we balance this with our regular evaluations of a variety of capital allocation alternatives, including dividends, stock repurchase, debt repayment, re-investment in the company, and M&A activities. We will continue to deploy our capital in ways that we believe will result in the best return on investment and creation of long-term value for our shareholders.”

Monotype’s most recent dividend payment of $0.113 per share was paid on January 22, 2018, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 2, 2018. The Board has approved a 3% increase to the company’s quarterly dividend payment. As a result, a dividend of $0.116 cents per share will be paid on April 20, 2018, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 2, 2018. The total dividend payments for 2017 were $18.8 million.

Financial outlook
Monotype expects several items to have a material impact on Monotype’s 2018 financial performance. First, the company adopted the new revenue recognition rules at the beginning of the year, which will result in a one-time reduction of deferred revenue and backlog at the end of 2017, as well as changes in seasonality for certain royalty-based revenue streams. Second, due to the new corporate tax reform, Monotype currently expects its effective tax rate to be 38% in 2018.

Taking into consideration those items, Monotype has raised its first quarter 2018 profit outlook and tightened its revenue range for the full year 2018. The company’s first quarter and full year financial guidance are set forth in the following tables:

(in $ millions, except for per share data)	Q1 2018*	Full Year 2018*
Revenue	$53.0 – $57.0	$243.0 – $251.0
Non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA	$9.0 – $12.0	$59.5 – $66.5
Operating expenses	$43.0 – $46.0	$174.0 – $177.0
GAAP earnings per diluted share	($0.03) – $0.02	$0.25 – $0.36
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share	$0.10 – $0.15	$0.76 – $0.87

*2018 guidance excludes the impact of advisor fees related to investor relations and a one-time royalty charge associated with the adoption of new revenue recognition guidelines (ASC 606).

Non-GAAP financial measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This non-GAAP information supplements and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to manage the business, such as in establishing an annual operating budget and in reporting to lenders. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by Monotype management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, Monotype believes it is useful for investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does and (b) compare in a consistent manner the company’s current financial results with past financial results. The primary limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures are that these measures may not be directly comparable to the amounts reported by other companies and they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations. Monotype management compensates for these limitations by considering the company’s financial results and outlook as determined in accordance with GAAP and by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release may contain forward-looking statements including those related to future revenues and operating results, the financial impact of the Olapic acquisition, the growth of the company’s business, the impact of the company’s revenue recognition policy, the impact of federal tax reform legislation, the execution of the company’s capital allocation and funding strategies and anticipated business momentum that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: risks associated with changes in the economic climate including decreased demand for the company’s products or products that incorporate the company’s solutions; risks associated with the company’s ability to adapt its products or services to new markets and to anticipate and quickly respond to evolving technologies and customer requirements; risks associated with the company’s development of and the market acceptance of new products, product features or services; risks associated with the company’s integration of the Olapic acquisition and the 2017 restructuring of the Olapic business; risks associated with the company’s ability to expand products and services offered through acquired companies; risks associated with increased competition in markets the company serves, including the risks that increased competition may result in the company’s inability to gain new customers, retain existing customers or may force the company to reduce prices; risks associated with the ownership and enforcement of the company’s intellectual property; and risks associated with geopolitical conditions and changes in the financial markets. Additional disclosure regarding these and other risks faced by the company is available in the company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and subsequent filings. The forward-looking financial information set forth in this release reflects estimates based on information available at this time. These amounts could differ from actual reported amounts to be included in the company’s future earnings releases and public filings. While the company may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if an estimate changes.
