Local Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Reiterates 2014 guidance: Revenue range of $103 million to $107 million and
Adjusted EBITDA range of $3 million to $4 million
IRVINE, Calif., Aug 12, 2014 Local Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading local search and technology company, reported its financial results for the
second quarter 2014.
We continue to transform our business to deliver rich and relevant content to consumers by leveraging our local search
expertise and proprietary technology, said Fred Thiel, Local Corporation chairman and CEO. Our Owned & Operated (O&O) business, led by our flagship site, Local.com, continues to execute on strategic initiatives. Our focus on
the consumer search experience and our enterprise partner relationships yielded year-over-year revenue growth for O&O with improved traffic and monetization.
In our Network business, we continued a significant effort to improve traffic quality during the quarter. We believe traffic quality is critical to
attracting advertisers, which increases revenue and expands margin. While the Network benefited from rapid traffic growth over the past year, the Network traffic quality was impaired by persistent efforts on the part of sophisticated third parties
intent on defrauding advertisers for their own gain. All advertising companies are faced with this challenge, as has been widely reported in the news in recent periods.
While we are not alone in this challenge, we are intent on leading the charge to overcome it. In the last two quarters alone, we have implemented very
aggressive traffic quality monitoring and filtering tools. We believe these tools, together with those of our advertising partners, combined with continued vigilance will improve traffic quality and ensure the value of our Network to advertisers. In
the short term, the impact of traffic that was disqualified, due to quality issues, has resulted in decreased Network traffic and revenue in the second quarter. Nevertheless, with improved traffic quality tools and the addition of new sites and
partners that meet our high-quality traffic standards, we expect the Network to return to growth, as we exit 2014.
Our innovation efforts are
advancing with great strides. This quarter in the mobile segment of our business we achieved a major milestone with the launch of nQuery, our new white-label search experience that opens up the market for mobile carriers and other
enterprise partners to participate in revenue from mobile search. Our initial nQuery relationships are expected to give Local Corporation potentially significant market share in the Tier II mobile phone carrier marketplace and contribute
significant incremental revenue later this year and into 2015. Mobile is the fastest growing segment of search, according to BIA/Kelsey, as mobile local ad revenues are projected to more than triple over the next five years, reaching $15.7 billion
in 2018.
As we move through the second half of 2014 and into 2015, our new product releases are expected to drive incremental top-line growth and
improved profitability. We remain excited about the large opportunities ahead of us in the local search space and reiterate our 2014 guidance.
Second Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights:
|
|
|
Reported total revenue of $22.5 million; O&O revenue grew 14% year-over-year. |
|
|
|
Increased cash balance to $6.7 million at June 30, up $3.0 million from March 31. |
|
|
|
Improved net loss 63% year-over-year to $1.3 million. |
|
|
|
Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million, positive for the sixth consecutive quarter. |
1
|
|
|
Reported $204 revenue per thousand visitors (RKVs), up 8% sequentially, the second consecutive quarter of improvement. |
|
|
|
Reiterated 2014 guidance: Revenue midrange expected to increase 11% compared to 2013, and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $3 million and $4 million. |
* |
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding: provision for income taxes; interest and other income (expense), net; depreciation; amortization; stock-based compensation charges; gain or loss on
derivatives revaluation; net income (loss) from discontinued operations; accrued lease liability/asset; and severance charges. See detailed reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in the financial tables attached to this release.
|
Our second quarter O&O revenue grew 14% year-over-year, again exceeding internal revenue expectations, said Ken Cragun,
Local Corporation CFO. This reflects our ability to increase the number of visits by high-intent local consumers and improve monetization. In the Network, we focused on improving traffic quality by augmenting our traffic quality tools and
processes to better identify low-quality or invalid traffic and ending relationships with associated publishing partners. This resulted in a lower revenue run-rate in the near term, but is expected to enhance our long-term position. In the second
quarter, we are pleased to report that we grew our cash balance by $3.0 million, reduced our debt by $700,000, and delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA for the sixth consecutive quarter. We remain confident in the momentum of our O&O business and
new mobile search initiatives and, accordingly, we confirm our 2014 guidance.
Business Highlights
|
|
|
Local Search Growth: Local Corporation continues to implement improved traffic acquisition and monitoring tools, infrastructure updates and user interface enhancements to increase search traffic, which delivered
14% growth for the companys O&O business. During the second quarter, overall traffic reached 73 million monthly unique visitors (MUV), up from 72 million in the first quarter of 2014, and RKV increased to $204 from
$189 for the same periods. The company is also encouraged by recent enhancements to the relevance of local search results by one of the major search engines. This is expected to result in a significant increase in organic traffic and ad conversions,
which the company believes will lead to an improvement in gross margins. |
|
|
|
New Mobile Initiatives: Local Corporation continues to be committed to taking local search across multiple screens where consumers are spending more time searching for the products and services they need and
want. The company recently launched nQuery by Local, which provides a white-labeled, hosted search solution that powers customized local search experiences and supports the companys goal to populate local search across the
Internet of everything. The company recently entered into partnerships with entities that specialize in monetizing subscriber traffic for mobile operators and Wi-Fi networks. Through these partnerships, Local
Corporation will power search for a major U.S. mobile carrier, 18 international and prepaid MVNOs and 10,000 US hotels currently under contract. nQuery is already powering millions of user searches per month and is expected to grow
significantly with the onboarding of new partners. |
|
|
|
Local Shopping Expansion: The company is in the process of integrating an engaging consumer shopping discovery experience powered by Krillion® into its
O&O properties. This destination is expected to grow and further monetize the highly relevant O&O traffic base as well as increase repeat visitor traffic. We believe the value of the Krillion technology is that it seamlessly ingests,
aggregates and localizes various types of dynamic data and distributes this rich content across multiple channels. |
|
|
|
Innovation Focus: The company recently established Local Labs, which is expected to serve as a digital technology hub and start-up incubator focused on innovating the digital ecosystem. This team will be
spearheading concept creation for several new product categories and customer use cases. The company is keenly focused on investing in innovation as a primary vehicle for growth. |
|
|
|
Intellectual Property Update: This quarter, the company was granted its thirteenth patent, which covers an online advertising monetization and yield optimization method and/or system and also began the process of
establishing a flexible organizational structure to pursue its Krillion data and IP licensing strategy. In July, the companys cascading menu patent trial was stayed pending completion of an administrative action with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office. The trial is expected to resume after the completion of such action. |
2
|
|
|
Strengthened Leadership: In June, the board appointed two new directors. David M. Hughes, CEO of The Search Agency, brings 15 years of strategic executive leadership experience with specialties in global digital
marketing and managed services and software-as-a-service platform products. John M. Payne, CEO of SimpleAir, Inc., has 30 years of experience leading public and private companies specializing in early stage software and technology companies, as well
as IP licensing strategies. |
Fiscal 2014 Financial Guidance:
Revenue for 2014 is expected to be in the range of $103 million to $107 million, which at the mid-point is an increase of 11% over 2013 revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA** for 2014 is expected to be in the range of $3 million to $4 million, or between $0.13 and $0.17 per diluted share, assuming diluted
weighted average shares of 23.5 million taking into account the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants. Projected 2014 Adjusted EBITDA Factors:
|
|
|
Interest Expense of $1.7 million |
|
|
|
Income Tax Provision of $200,000 |
|
|
|
Depreciation Expense of $4.0 million |
|
|
|
Amortization Expense of $900,000 |
|
|
|
Stock Compensation Expense of $800,000 |
|
|
|
Severance Charges of $1.8 million |
|
|
|
Warrant and conversion option revaluation expense items are undeterminable, but may be significant non-cash gains or losses** |
** |
The valuation of the warrant liability and the conversion option liability is based in large part on the underlying price and volatility of the companys common stock during the period. Since the company cannot
predict this, the company cannot project the non-cash gain or loss in connection with these warrants and the conversion option, and therefore, cannot reasonably project its GAAP net income (loss). Therefore, the company cannot provide GAAP guidance,
but does report GAAP results. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release
includes the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA which we define as net income (loss) excluding: provision for income taxes; interest and other income (expense), net; depreciation; amortization; stock based compensation
charges; gain or loss on derivatives revaluation; net income (loss) from discontinued operations; accrued lease liability/asset; and severance charges. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, is not a measurement under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is
reconciled to net income (loss) which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth at the end of this press release.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors about the companys performance because it eliminates the effects of
period-to-period changes in income from interest on the companys cash, expense from the companys financing transactions and the costs
4
associated with income tax expense, capital investments, stock-based compensation expense, net income (loss) from discontinued operations, derivatives revaluation charges; accrued lease
liability/asset; and severance charges which are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the companys business operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the overall performance of the companys business
operations.
A limitation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes items that often have a material effect on the companys net income (loss)
and earnings per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management compensates for this limitation by using Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share measures. The company believes
that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the companys core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of overall performance, and as a base-line for assessing the future earnings potential of
the company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the company prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental metric since, with reconciliation to GAAP; it may provide greater insight into the companys financial results. The non-GAAP
measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share.

Quarterly earnings summary: Q2 2014
This document includes the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted
EBITDA
which we define as net income (loss) excluding: provision for
income taxes; interest and other income (expense), net; depreciation;
amortization; stock based compensation charges; gain or loss on
derivatives
revaluation, net income (loss) from discontinued operations;
gain on sale of Rovion; impairment charges; LEC receivables reserve;
finance related charges; accrued lease liability/asset; and severance
charges.
Adjusted
EBITDA,
as
defined
above,
is
not
a
measurement
under
GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income (loss) which we
believe is the most comparable GAAP measure. A reconciliation of net
income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth within this presentation.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to
investors about the companys performance because it eliminates the
effects of period-to-period changes in income from interest on the
companys cash and marketable securities, expense from the companys
financing transactions and the costs associated with income tax expense,
capital investments, stock-based compensation expense, LEC receivables
reserve, warrant revaluation charges; finance related charges; accrued
lease liability; and severance charges which are not directly
attributable to the underlying performance of the companys business
operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the overall
performance of the companys business operations.
A limitation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes items that
often have a material effect on the companys net income and earnings per
common share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore,
management compensates for this limitation by using Adjusted EBITDA in
conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share
measures. The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides
investors with an additional tool for evaluating the companys core
performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of overall
performance, and as a base-line for assessing the future earnings potential
of the company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the company
prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental metric since, with
reconciliation to GAAP; it may provide greater insight into the
companys financial results. The non-GAAP measures should be
viewed as a supplement
to,
and
not
as
a
substitute
for,
or
superior
to,
GAAP
net
income
(loss) or earnings (loss) per share. |
