“We are pleased to share the Quepasa – myYearbook consolidated financial results for the first time,” commented CEO John Abbott. “The myYearbook merger was an important milestone for us as we became the largest publicly traded social discovery pure play. Quepasa is well positioned to capitalize on this leadership position to build the leading social network for meeting new people. In addition to the financial benefits of the merger, as reflected by our significant growth in revenue, we are looking forward to enhancing our growth trajectory in the upcoming quarters by offering the myYearbook web and mobile products to our Latin American user base.”

The fourth quarter and fiscal year GAAP financial results for Quepasa Corporation reflect contributions from myYearbook from the date of the merger. See Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information below with respect to the presentation and use of non-GAAP information.
Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Highlights
|
●
|
Revenue: Quepasa revenue for the fourth quarter, which included the benefit of just over seven weeks of contributions from myYearbook, was $6.3 million, up 240% from the $1.9 million recorded in the same period in 2010.
|
|
●
|
Net Loss: Quepasa net loss allocable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter was $5.5 million or $0.20 per share, an increase from a net loss allocable to common shareholders of $1.8 million or $0.13 per share in the same period in 2010. Quepasa’s adjusted EBITDA loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $1.0 million or $0.04 per share, a $0.6 million increase from the $0.4 million loss, or $0.03 per share, for the same period in 2010.

Full Year 2011 Financial Highlights
|
●
|
Revenue: Quepasa 2011 revenues totaled $11.9 million, up 96% from the $6.1 million reported for 2010. (See Important Disclosures below regarding revenue sources.)
|
|
●
|
Net Loss: Quepasa reported a net loss allocable to common shareholders of $12.8 million or $0.67 per share for fiscal 2011, up from $6.8 million or $0.52 per share reported in fiscal 2010.

|
|
●
|
Balance Sheet: Quepasa cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.3 million at December 31, 2011, down from $13.5 million at December 31, 2010. The year-over-year decline is predominantly the result of proceeds used for the cash component of the myYearbook merger and cash investments in Quepasa Games, which were partially offset by the sale of preferred and common stock in connection with the closing of the merger.
|
Operating and Business Highlights
“The company has made good progress towards integration of myYearbook and Quepasa,” noted COO Geoff Cook. “The Los Angeles office was closed and the Mexico office was reduced by two dozen people. Key people from both offices are in the process of moving to the company’s new headquarters in New Hope, Pennsylvania to help us execute our plan of combining all of our users onto a single platform. We’ve also experienced dramatic 300% growth in mobile users in 2011, and we are excited to have announced last week the launch of a mobile virtual currency into our mobile products.”

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including statements regarding being well positioned to capitalize on our leadership position, enhancing our growth trajectory in the upcoming quarters by offering web and mobile products to our Latin American users, and moving our users to a single platform. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include the risk that Latin American users not willing to visit our site on a mobile platform, myYearbook and Quepasa users will be willing to purchase virtual currency for the various offerings, the effectiveness of the mobile software on smartphones and tablets, the risk that we are unable to monetize our mobile users, the risk that we will lose a substantial number of users after moving our users to a single rebranded platform and the risk that the Quepasa and myYearbook businesses will not be integrated successfully. Further information on our risk factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including the Form S-4/A filed on October 4, 2011. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.

The combined revenue results give effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2010. The combined revenue data is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what our results would actually have been had the merger actually occurred on the dates presented or to project our results for any future period. The Company believes that evaluation of its financial performance can be enhanced by a presentation of combined results in order to evaluate its prior, current or future period results on a more meaningful, consistent year-over-year basis.
The Company uses financial measures which are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to period comparison. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes them to be an important supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (or loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation. Quepasa excludes stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding non-recurring acquisition and restructuring expenses and the goodwill impairment charge. Other companies (including the Company’s competitors) may define EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of Quepasa’s liquidity or any other financial measures. It may not be indicative of the historical operating results of Quepasa nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. See Reconciliation of GAAP Net (Loss) to EBITDA (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA Income (Loss) for further information on these non-GAAP measures and reconciliation of GAAP Income (Loss) to EBITDA (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA Income (Loss) for the periods indicated.
