ICG Announces Third Quarter Financial Results

WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICG Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICGE) ("ICG") today reported its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

"We are encouraged by the growth we have seen in customer pipelines and the fact that our companies continue to report solid EBITDA results," said Walter Buckley, ICG's Chief Executive Officer. "However, delays in contract signings are impacting results for the second half of 2011. As a result, we now expect our annual revenues to be in the range of $138 million to $140 million, compared to our original revenue guidance of $142 million to $148 million. We are maintaining our original EBITDA guidance of annual EBITDA in the range of $16 million to $18 million."

Buckley added, "As underscored by our stock repurchases during the third quarter, we remain optimistic about our companies' opportunities and committed to our strategy. We are confident that the strong value propositions of our companies, coupled with the strength of ICG's financial position, will continue to drive growth at our companies and enhance value for our stockholders."

ICG's GAAP revenue increased to $35.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, up from $30.2 million in the comparable 2010 period.

(A) Core consolidated revenue, core consolidated EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) are non-GAAP financial measures and have no standardized measurement prescribed by GAAP. Core consolidated revenue is the sum of the revenue of ICG's three core consolidated companies. Core consolidated EBITDA is the sum of the earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and unusual items of ICG's three core consolidated companies. ICG's management considers charges unusual when they are transactional-driven or non-recurring. Adjusted operating income (loss) is consolidated operating income (loss), adjusted for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and impairment related and other amounts of ICG and its three core consolidated companies. ICG's management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others that enables each such group to evaluate core consolidated companies' current and future prospects in a similar manner as ICG's management and to review results on a comparable basis for all periods presented.
