Fourth Quarter Results
 
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 131% to $67.5 million from $29.3 million in the same quarter last year.  Revenue by channel was 82% through indirect channels, 12% through ZAGG.com and iFrogz.com, 5% through the company’s mall cart and kiosk programs and 1% from shipping and handling.
 
Gross profit for the fourth quarter was $31.4 million or 46% of net sales, representing a 135% increase, versus $13.4 million or 46% of net sales in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Gross profit for the quarter was impacted by the fair-value write up of iFrogz inventory as a part of purchase accounting.   Excluding the inventory adjustment on the iFrogz inventories, gross profit was $32.2 million or 48% of net sales.
 
In the quarter, ZAGG incurred an impairment charge of $0.4 million on its note receivable.  ZAGG also recorded a $1.9 million gain on the deconsolidation of HzO as ZAGG no longer has a controlling interest in HzO.  Operating income for the fourth quarter was $14.4 million compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $4.6 million for the previous quarter.
 
Net income attributable to stockholders for the fourth quarter was $9.9 million or $0.32 per diluted share as compared to net income attributable to stockholders of $3.4 million or $0.13 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding the fair value write-up of inventory of iFrogz goods sold in the quarter of $0.9 million, the impairment of the note receivable of $0.4 million, the $1.9 million gain recognized on the deconsolidation of HzO, and the related tax effects of these adjustments to GAAP net income, fourth quarter net income would have been $8.6 million or $0.27 per diluted share.
 
Adjusted EBITDA
 
ZAGG considers earnings before other income or expense; income tax provision; impairment losses; depreciation and amortization; acquisition expenses; inventory basis increase related to acquisition; non-controlling interest; and share-based compensation expense related to equity awards ("Adjusted EBITDA") to be an important financial indicator of the Company's operational strength and the performance of its business. These results should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
 
A reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is presented under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included below.
 
The difference between Adjusted EBITDA per share, a non-GAAP measure, and GAAP EPS, is other income or expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, acquisition expenses, inventory basis increase related to acquisition, non-controlling interest, and share-based compensation.
 
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $18.7 million versus $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, representing an increase of 186% over prior year’s results or $0.60 per diluted share versus $0.27 per diluted share in the fourth quarter last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
 
Investors are cautioned that the Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before other income, income tax provision, impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, acquisition expenses, inventory basis increases related to acquisition, non-controlling interest and stock-based compensation, contained in this press release are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, they should not be construed as alternatives to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We present this financial information because we believe that it is helpful to some investors as a measure of our performance. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
