WASHINGTON, DC – July 27, 2011 – CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), commercial real estate's leading provider of information and analytic services, announced today that revenues for the second quarter of 2011 totaled $62.1 million, an annual increase of $6.3 million or 11.3% compared to revenue of $55.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. Quarterly sequential organic revenue growth in the second quarter of 2011 of $2.5 million reflected accelerated growth of 4.2% compared to the first quarter.
Non-GAAP net income (defined below) was $7.3 million or $0.33 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $1.1 million compared to Non-GAAP net income of $6.2 million or $0.29 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) for the second quarter of 2011 increased $1.7 million to $14.3 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $12.6 million for the first quarter of 2011. For the second quarter of 2011, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income do not include approximately $5.0 million in expenses associated with the LoopNet merger, which consist primarily of investment banking and legal fees. Reconciliation of non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and all of the non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP basis results are shown in detail, along with definitions for those terms, later in this release.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $580 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, which is an increase of $255 million since March 31, 2011. As previously disclosed, the Company issued 4.3 million shares of common stock during the quarter with net proceeds of $248 million, which are expected to be used to fund a portion of the cash consideration payable in conjunction with the acquisition of LoopNet, Inc. The Company expects to close the LoopNet acquisition by the end of 2011.

“This has been an extremely productive quarter for CoStar,” said Founder and Chief Executive Officer Andrew C. Florance. “In addition to posting the highest quarterly revenue in Company history, we made significant progress toward closing the LoopNet transaction. We raised $248 million in net proceeds in an equity offering and received overwhelming approval from LoopNet stockholders for the merger.”
The Company also announced that it has developed and is releasing CoStarGo™, a powerful iPad application that integrates CoStar’s comprehensive property, tenant and comparable sales information in CoStar’s “professional” suite of online products--CoStar Property Professional, CoStar Tenant and CoStar Comps. CoStarGo is expected to be released nationally on August 15, 2011, and will be supported with an extensive marketing campaign during the third quarter of 2011, including a 34-city national launch tour focused on efforts to drive widespread early adoption.
“CoStarGo is a transformational product that puts the power of CoStar in our clients’ hands while they are out in the field, which we expect will enhance their ability to generate income and provide more service to their customers,” stated Florance. “We believe the iPad app will result in increased sales to new customers, upgrades from existing customers and improved customer retention rates.”
During the second quarter, the Company’s in-quarter renewal rate remained above 93%, and the 12-month trailing renewal rate for subscription-based services was 92%, an increase of 4 percentage points from approximately 88% one year ago. Quarterly net new sales increased over the strong performance from the first quarter and increased 90% year-over-year. The Company achieved its second-highest organic net new sales during the quarter, reflecting the growing momentum in the strong sales trend from last quarter.
2011 Outlook
“Based on our outstanding second quarter results, we are pleased to raise the high end of our 2011 annual revenue guidance by approximately $4.0 million," stated CoStar Group Chief Financial Officer Brian J. Radecki. “The Company’s guidance for 2011 annual revenue has increased to a range of $247 million to $250 million, and for the third quarter of 2011 we expect a range of approximately $62.5 million to $63.5 million in revenues.”
2
The issuance of 4.3 million additional shares during the second quarter associated with the equity offering results in an adjustment to non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.13 for the full year 2011, and approximately $0.04 for the third quarter. For the full year of 2011, the Company now expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share of approximately $1.07 to $1.13. For the third quarter of 2011, the Company expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share of approximately $0.19 to $0.23. After adjusting for the impact of the increase in shares, full year non-GAAP earnings remain in-line with prior guidance, with higher revenues approximately offsetting additional investments in sales and marketing.
“We are excited about the potential for CoStarGo to drive additional subscription sales,” added Radecki. To support the launch of this new product, the Company plans to make a one-time marketing investment of approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million during the third quarter of 2011.
The Company anticipates approximately $1.4 million to $1.7 million of restructuring costs associated with the consolidation of its White Marsh, MD, offices during the third quarter of 2011. This completes the previously announced office consolidation strategy, and is expected to result in expense savings of $1 million per year moving forward.
The projections above and the related tables included in this release exclude impacts of the consolidation of LoopNet and related costs that are contingent on closing that transaction.
The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar’s expectations as of July 27, 2011, including forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures on a standalone basis – not including the potential acquisition of LoopNet and related costs. We are not able to forecast with certainty whether or when certain events, such as acquisition-related costs, restructuring, settlements or impairments will occur in any given quarter. Given the risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed above, actual results may differ materially. Other than in publicly available statements, the Company does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, please refer to the Company’s latest periodic report.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group, Inc. before (i) interest income (expense), (ii) provision for income taxes, and (iii) depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EBITDA before (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) acquisition-related costs, (iii) restructuring charges and related costs, (iv) costs related to the acquisition and transition of the Company’s corporate headquarters, and (v) settlements and impairments incurred outside the Company’s normal business operations.
Non-GAAP net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group, Inc. before (i) purchase amortization and other related costs, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) acquisition-related costs, (iv) purchase accounting adjustments; (v) restructuring charges and related costs, (vi) costs related to the acquisition and transition of the Company’s corporate headquarters, and (vii) settlements and impairments. From this figure, we then subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to arrive at non-GAAP net income. We assume a 40% tax rate in order to approximate our long-term effective corporate tax rate.
3
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents non-GAAP net income divided by the number of diluted shares outstanding for the period used in the calculation of GAAP net income per diluted share.

This news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about CoStar’s financial expectations, the timing of the Merger, the company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements including words such as "anticipate," "may," "believe," "expect," "intend," "will," "should," "plan," "estimate," "predict," "continue" and "potential" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management of CoStar and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause or contribute to such differences: the risk that the net proceeds of the equity offering will not be used to fund cash consideration for the LoopNet acquisition; the possibility that the merger does not close when expected or at all, including, but not limited to, due to the failure to obtain governmental clearances or approvals; the possibility that CoStarGo is not released when expected; the possibility that CoStar’s marketing plans with respect to CoStarGo change or are extended past the third quarter; the possibility that CoStarGo does not enhance clients’ ability to generate income and provide more service to their customers; the risk that the launch of CoStarGo does not result in increased sales to new customers, upgrades from existing customers and improved customer retention rates; the risk that CoStar’s growing momentum in sales will not continue at the current pace; the risk that the recovery in commercial real estate will not continue at its current pace; the risk that revenues for the third quarter of 2011 and full year 2011 will not be as stated in this press release; the risk that non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2011 and full year 2011 will not be as stated in this press release; the risk that any higher revenues achieved in 2011 may not offset the additional investments in sales and marketing; the risk that CoStarGo will not drive additional subscription sales; the risk that the amount of the investment in CoStarGo for marketing will change; the risk that restructuring costs associated with the consolidation of our offices during the third quarter of 2011 will not be as stated in this press release; the risk that the office consolidation will not lead to expense savings as expected; the risk that LoopNet and CoStar will be unable to comply promptly with the request for additional information received from the Federal Trade Commission on June 30, 2011 and discussed in CoStar's and LoopNet's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2011; the possibility that conditions, divestitures or changes relating to the operations or assets of LoopNet and CoStar will be required to obtain required governmental clearances or approvals; the risk that expected cost savings or other synergies from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the risk that the businesses of LoopNet and CoStar may not be combined successfully or in a timely and cost-efficient manner; the risk that business disruption relating to the merger may be greater than expected; and failure to obtain any required financing on favorable terms. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements can be found in CoStar's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, and LoopNet's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, each filed with the SEC, including in the "Risk Factors" section of each of these filings, and each company's other filings with the SEC available at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). Neither CoStar nor LoopNet undertakes any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
