Web.com Reports Record Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Company reports operating results exceeding high end of guidance

JACKSONVILLE, FL – November 3, 2011 – Web.com Group, Inc.  (NASDAQ: WWWW), a leading provider of internet services and online marketing solutions for small businesses, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

“We are pleased with the company’s third quarter financial results, which are highlighted by a record revenue performance and continued non-GAAP operating margin expansion to the best-in-class level of 20+%,” said David Brown, Chairman and CEO of Web.com.  “Web.com has executed at a high level since acquiring Register.com, resulting in restored revenue growth, ARPU expansion and significant cost synergies.  The company’s increasingly strong financial performance is evidence that Web.com’s acquisition strategy is paying off, and it is a significant achievement considering the challenging economic environment.”

“As we look ahead, we are extremely excited about Web.com’s future following our transformative acquisition of Network Solutions.  Our combined company has nearly 3 million customers, an annualized pro-forma non-GAAP revenue run rate of more than $450 million, and the opportunity to realize up to $40 million in annualized cost savings by the end of 2013,” added Brown.  “We believe the bottom line accretion resulting from the acquisition will drive meaningful shareholder value over the next 12 to 24 months.  In addition, we believe there is the opportunity for further value creation as Web.com leverages the dramatic increase in sales and marketing resources to invest in initiatives focused on taking Web.com’s improving revenue growth to the next level.”

Summary of Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results:

 
·
Total revenue, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), was $43.9 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $32.7 million for the third quarter of 2010.  Non-GAAP revenue, which adds back the impact of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue, was a record $46.7 million for the third quarter of 2011, in the upper-half of the company’s guidance range of $46.0 million to $47.0 million.

 
·
Operating loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, was $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2011 and included a $2.8 million negative impact related to the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue and prepaid registry fees.  For the third quarter of 2010, the company reported GAAP operating loss of $8.2 million and included $5.7 million from the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue..

 
·
GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $5.5 million, or ($0.19) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011, and included the above mentioned impact related to the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue and prepaid registry fees. GAAP net income from continuing operations was $12.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010 and included a $21.2 million income tax benefit associated with closing the Register.com acquisition.
 
 
 

 
 
 
·
Non-GAAP operating income was a record $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2011, representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 22% and an increase of 60% compared to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2010.

 
·
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was a record $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2011, or $0.29 per diluted share, an increase of 45% on a year-over-year basis and compared to the company’s guidance of $0.26 to $0.28.  Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $5.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010.

Cash flow from operations was $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $8.4 million excluding the pay down of accrued restructuring expenses, and certain expenses associated with the Register.com and Network Solutions’ acquisitions.  This compared to $3.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the measures in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the SEC Regulation G.  Web.com believes presenting non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, because it describes the operating performance of the company, excluding some recurring charges that are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  Company management uses these non-GAAP measures as important indicators of the Company’s past performance and in planning and forecasting performance in future periods. The non-GAAP financial information Web.com presents may not be comparable to similarly-titled financial measures used by other companies, and investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or in substitution for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP.  You are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures included elsewhere in this press release.

Relative to each of the non-GAAP measures the Company presents above, management further sets forth its rationale as follows:

 
·
Non-GAAP Revenue.  We exclude from non-GAAP revenue the impact of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue because we believe that excluding such measures helps management and investors better understand our revenue trends.

 
·
Non-GAAP Operating Income.  The Company excludes from non-GAAP operating income amortization of intangibles, fair value adjustment to deferred revenue and prepaid registry fees, restructuring charges, corporate development expenses and stock-based compensation charges.  Management believes that excluding these items assists investors in evaluating period-over-period changes in the Company’s operating income without the impact of items that are not a result of the Company’s day-to-day business and operations.
 
 
 

 
 
 
·
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Diluted Share.  The Company excludes from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share amortization of intangibles, income tax expense, fair value adjustment to deferred revenue and prepaid registry fees, restructuring charges, corporate development expenses, amortization of deferred financing fees, stock-based compensation, and includes cash income tax expense, because management believes that excluding such measures helps investors better understand the Company’s operating activities.
 
 
·
Adjusted EBITDA. The Company excludes from Adjusted EBITDA depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles, income tax, interest expense, interest income, stock-based compensation, corporate development expenses, and restructuring charges, because management believes that excluding such items helps investors better understand the Company's operating activities.
 
 
·
In respect of the foregoing, Web.com provides the following supplemental information to provide additional context for the use and consideration of the non-GAAP financial measures used elsewhere in this press release:
 
 
·
Stock-based compensation.   These expenses consist of expenses for employee stock options and employee stock purchases under ASC 718-10. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses. Prior to the adoption of ASC 718-10 in fiscal 2006, the Company did not include expenses related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases directly in its financial statements, but elected, as permitted, to disclose such expenses in the footnotes to its financial statements. As the Company applies ASC 718-10, it believes that it is useful to its investors to understand the impact of the application of ASC 718-10 to its operational performance, liquidity and its ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. While stock-based compensation expense calculated in accordance with ASC 718-10 constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by the Company and because such expense is not used by management to assess the core profitability of the Company’s business operations. The Company further believes these measures are useful to investors in that they allow for greater transparency to certain line items in our financial statements. In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures facilitates comparisons to the Company’s competitors’ operating results.
 
 
·
Amortization of intangibles.  The Company incurs amortization of acquired intangibles under ASC 805-10-65. Acquired intangibles primarily consist of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trade names, and developed technology. The Company expects to amortize for accounting purposes the fair value of the acquired intangibles based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed as revenue is generated. Although the intangible assets generate revenue for the Company, the item is excluded because this expense is non-cash in nature and because the Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance.  In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to the Company’s competitors’ operating results.
 
 
·
Depreciation expense.  The Company incurs depreciation expense associated with its fixed assets.  Although the fixed assets generate revenue for the Company, the item is excluded because this expense is non-cash in nature and because the Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance, liquidity and its ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures.  In addition, excluding this item from certain non-GAAP measures facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to the Company’s competitors’ operating results.
 
 
·
Amortization of deferred financing fees.  The Company incurs amortization expense related to deferred financing fees.  This item is excluded because the Company believes the non-GAAP measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance.  In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to the Company’s competitors’ operating results.
 
 
 

 
 
 
·
Restructuring charges.  The Company has recorded restructuring charges.  The Company excludes the impact of these expenses from its non-GAAP measures, because such expense is not used by management to assess the core profitability of the Company’s business operations.
 
 
·
Income tax expense.  Due to the magnitude of the Company’s historical net operating losses and related deferred tax asset, the Company excludes income tax expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are not indicative of the cash tax paid by the Company and therefore are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Further, excluding this non-cash item from non-GAAP measures facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results.  The Company also excludes income tax expense altogether from certain non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that the non-GAAP measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to the Company’s competitors’ operating results.
 
 
·
Fair value adjustment to deferred revenue and prepaid registry fees.  The Company has recorded a fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue and prepaid registry fees in accordance with ASC 805-10-65. The Company excludes the impact of this adjustment from its non-GAAP measures, because doing so results in non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP net income which are reflective of ongoing operating results and more comparable to historical operating results, since the majority of the Company’s revenue is recurring subscription revenue. Excluding the fair value adjustment to deferred revenue and prepaid registry fees therefore facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results.
 
 
·
Corporate development expenses. The Company incurred expenses relating to the acquisition and successful integration of acquisitions. The Company excludes the impact of these expenses from its non-GAAP measures, because such expense is not used by management to assess the core profitability of the Company’s business operations.
