TheStreet.com, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results

Revenue from ongoing subscription and advertising businesses up 8% over last year

NEW YORK, August 4, 2010 – TheStreet.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSCM; http://www.thestreet.com), a leading digital financial media company, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2010.

“TheStreet’s revenue from ongoing subscription services and advertising increased 8% in the second quarter of 2010 versus a year ago,” said Daryl Otte, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  “Our advertising revenue grew 6% year-over-year.  We were pleased to see ad growth in a quarter in which the financial markets experienced a significant decline and many investors appear to have stepped back.  This growth affirms the value of our vertical publishing model centered on professionally created and curated content, to create a ‘must read’ site for our passionate user base and a ‘must buy’ for our core group of premier advertisers seeking to reach that engaged and prized audience.

“Our subscription services revenue grew by 9% year-over-year, to the highest level in seven quarters.  Subscription bookings increased 1% compared to prior year period, a slower rate of growth than we experienced in the last few quarters.  We believe the lower growth rate this quarter resulted from a slowdown in new account acquisition for our equity based services after the ‘flash crash’ of May 6th, as our churn rate remained virtually unchanged from the prior quarter’s low level.

 “As we’ve described previously, we’ve been active both in building multiple channels of distribution for our content and services and in diversifying our offerings to enhance their usefulness in various market sentiments.  We feel the value of our efforts was demonstrated this past quarter in which we recorded more bookings in a challenging quarter for the financial markets (in which the S&P 500 declined 12%) than we did in the prior year period, when the market was soaring (in which the S&P 500 gained 15%).

“The centerpiece of our portfolio evolution was the launch of our new OptionsProfits service, late in the quarter.  OptionsProfits provides more than 50 actionable trading ideas each week from a dozen well-known industry professionals, bringing professional-grade market insight to retail investors at excellent value and with a fresh, Web 2.0 platform and interface.  We are pleased with the broad support we’ve seen for the service from subscribers, sponsors, distribution partners and other industry participants, and we intend to launch additional products around specific trading styles and investment products going forward,” said Mr. Otte.
 
 
The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter of $0.9 million, as compared to $1.9 million in the prior year quarter, and $2.6 million in the prior year quarter excluding the impact of the Company’s former Promotions.com subsidiary, which was divested in December 2009.  “Our bottom line reflects the substantial investment we’ve been making in the past couple of quarters to grow and add long-term value to our business.  This investment primarily consists of costs for additional staff (headcount increased by 25 year over year, excluding Promotions.com, 20 of which were added in sales and marketing functions), commissions and marketing expenses, as well as investment in technology and product development.  We also note that Adjusted EBITDA in the prior year period reflected an additional $0.4 million of revenue received as a result of the global research legal settlement that wound down in July 2009 (the year-over-year impact of which will be smaller in the third quarter and disappear thereafter) ,” Mr. Otte said.

The Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $82.6 million, an increase of $1.0 million as compared to March 31, 2010.  The increase is primarily due to the Company’s $0.4 million of operating cash flow and receipt of $2.1 million in cash related to the sale of certain non-core assets, offset in part by $0.5 million on capital expenditures and $0.9 million in dividends.

“I’d also like to highlight the continued enhancements we have been making to our board and management team.  Early in the quarter we added Vivek Shah to our Board of Directors, and today we announced the hiring of Thomas Etergino as Chief Financial Officer.  Vivek, the Chief Executive Officer of Ziff Davis, Inc., adds a wealth of financial media and digital media experience to our Board, before his role at Ziff Davis having run Time Inc.’s Fortune/Money group and served as head of Time Inc.’s digital group for news, business and sports.  And Tom, who will start in a few weeks, will add significant strength to our team, having vast experience as a CFO and senior financial executive in both public and private companies focused on paid subscription and digital media businesses.  I’m excited that we have now put in place what we feel is the right strategy and the right team to execute against that strategy,” Mr. Otte concluded.

Financial Highlights of Second Quarter 2010

The Company recorded revenue of $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of 2% as compared to the second quarter of 2009, which prior period included $1.0 million of revenue from the Company’s former Promotions.com subsidiary; excluding Promotions.com, the Company’s revenue grew 5% in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the 2009 period.  The Company’s premium services revenue increased 4% as compared to the prior year period, reflecting a 9%, or $0.7 million, increase in subscription services revenue, offset in part by a $0.4 million reduction in revenue from the global research legal settlement.  The Company’s advertising revenue, which excludes the Company’s former Promotions.com subsidiary, increased 6% as compared to the second quarter of 2009.  Including Promotions.com in the prior year period, the Company’s marketing services revenue declined 13% in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2010 were $15.2 million, flat when compared to the prior year period.  Operating expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 reflect a gain of $1.3 million related to the sale of certain non-core assets, offset in part by an asset impairment charge of $0.6 million related to a minority investment.  Operating expenses in the prior year period included restructuring and other charges of $0.6 million.  Operating expenses in the prior year period excluding the impact of Promotions.com were $13.5 million.  The Company had a net loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, as compared to net income of $0.3 million in the prior year period.  The Company reported basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $(0.01) and $(0.01), respectively, in the second quarter of 2010, as compared with $0.01 and $0.01, respectively, in the prior year period.  Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 was $0.9 million, as compared to $1.9 million in the prior year quarter, and $2.6 million in the prior year quarter excluding the impact of Promotions.com (the prior year period Adjusted EBITDA figures reflect a reclassification of $0.1 million of certain franchise tax expenses from income tax expense to general and administrative expense, offset in part by a reclassification of $30,000 of certain one-time transaction costs).

About TheStreet.com

TheStreet.com is a leading digital financial media company. The Company’s network includes the following properties: TheStreet, RealMoney, Stockpickr, BankingMyWay, MainStreet and Rate-Watch.  For more information and to get stock quotes and business news, visit http://www.thestreet.com.

 
(1) To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), TheStreet.com, Inc. uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “free cash flow.”  EBITDA is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  This non-GAAP measure is provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future.  Specifically, the Company believes that the non-GAAP EBITDA results are an important indicator of the operational strength of the Company’s business and provide an indication of the Company’s ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures.  EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of considerable amounts of noncash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of certain intangible assets that were recognized in business combinations.  Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the impact of noncash stock compensation and impairment expenses, restructuring charges and other non-standard one-time charges.  A limitation of these measures, however, is that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s businesses.  Management evaluates the investments in such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budgets and investment spending levels.  “Free cash flow” means net income (loss) plus non-cash expenses less changes in working capital and capital expenditures.  The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is an important indicator of the Company's financial results because it gives investors a view of the Company's ability to generate cash.
 
 
The above information with respect to Promotions.com is presented as a non-GAAP measure for illustrative purposes regarding the disposition of the Company’s Promotions.com subsidiary and is not meant to represent a reflection of the operating activities of the Promotions.com subsidiary as if it was on a fully stand-alone basis.  Promotions.com was a legal subsidiary of the Company whose activities were part of the combined results of the Company.  Historically, Promotions.com was not considered an operating segment and management did not measure and maintain certain separate discrete financial information for Promotions.com, including cash flows for its activities.
 
 
The above measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.  The non-GAAP measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
 
All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical facts are deemed forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this press release.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results or occurrences.  The Company disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
