SACRAMENTO, Calif., October 31, 2011 – InsWeb Corp. (NASDAQ: INSW), a leading online insurance comparison provider, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $12.8 million, an increase of approximately 21% as compared to $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2010 and an increase of approximately 3% as compared to $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $501,000, or $0.08 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $357,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010 and to net income of $979,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure used by InsWeb’s management and defined below, was a record $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 and to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2011.
"Our third quarter results reflect strong year-over-year revenue growth. In addition to our disciplined approach to optimizing gross margins, we are beginning to see the impact of cost savings from our recent corporate reorganization and achieved record Adjusted EBITDA during the period,” said Hussein Enan, Chairman and CEO of InsWeb.
InsWeb exited the third quarter of 2011 with cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $8.9 million, as compared to $8.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010.
Given the previously announced transaction with Bankrate, InsWeb does not plan to hold a third quarter 2011 earnings call.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating InsWeb’s business, the Company’s management considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA refers to a financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, and other non-recurring gains and losses that are not related to the Company’s continuing operations. This measure is an essential component of InsWeb’s internal planning process because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating performance by eliminating potential differences in net income (loss) caused by the existence and timing of non-cash charges and non-recurring gains and losses. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA reflects the key revenue and expense items for which InsWeb’s operating managers are responsible.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and has limitations as an analytical tool. You should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s U.S. GAAP net income (loss). The principal limitations of this measure are that: 1) it does not reflect the Company’s actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating or reducing the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share; and 2) it may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies.
