ICG Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

Company Reports Record Revenue and Raises Guidance for 2012

WAYNE, Pa., July 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICG Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICGE) ("ICG") today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

"Our results were exceptionally strong during the quarter as our companies continue to exceed expectations," said Walter Buckley, ICG's Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, in July, we increased our stake in Channel Intelligence, giving us our fourth consolidated platform. This is consistent with our strategic goal of aggressively driving growth at our consolidated companies while consolidating or monetizing our minority holdings. We look forward to building on the positive momentum reflected in the upward revisions to our 2012 guidance."

Financial Information

  • Revenue increased to $45.1 million for the second quarter of 2012, up from $35.3 million in the corresponding 2011 period. Second quarter 2012 revenue would have been $2.5 million higher had revenues previously deferred by MSDSonline prior to ICG's acquisition of MSDSonline been recognized in the period. Excluding this $2.5 million, ICG core consolidated revenue, a non-GAAP revenue measure, grew 35% from the second quarter of 2011. 
  • Core consolidated EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 was $7.6 million, compared to $3.8 million in the corresponding 2011 period. 
  • Reflecting the recent acquisitions and improved company performance, ICG is increasing its 2012 guidance, expecting to achieve 2012 core consolidated revenue in the range of $180 million to $190 million and core consolidated EBITDA in the range of $18 million to $20 million. 
  • Adjusted operating income (loss) for the second quarter of 2012 was income of $4.2 million, compared to a loss of $(0.1) million in the corresponding 2011 period. 
  • Procurian reported $37.4 million of revenue for the second quarter of 2012, representing a 23% increase from the corresponding 2011 period. Procurian's EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation and unusual items, for the quarter was $7.8 million, as compared to $5.0 million in the comparable 2011 period. 
  • GovDelivery and MSDSonline, which comprise ICG's Government and Compliance sector, achieved $7.9 million of core revenue (without reduction for the aforementioned $2.5 million adjustment) for the second quarter of 2012, equating to 30% organic growth from the corresponding 2011 period.  
  • Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $(6.0) million, or $(0.17) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(3.2) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the corresponding 2011 period.  Net loss was higher than expected in the second quarter of 2012 due to the impact of acquisition accounting and increased losses at non-core equity companies, primarily as a result of costs associated with the recent sale of GoIndustry-Dovebid.

Additional Highlights

  • In July, ICG increased its ownership in Channel Intelligence's parent to 51%, bringing it into ICG's group of consolidated companies.  In tandem with this consolidation, ICG President Doug Alexander has assumed the role of CEO of Channel Intelligence. 
  • Procurian acquired Media IQ, a strategically compelling and accretive addition to Procurian's marketing spend management capabilities.

"ICG demonstrated strong performance across the board this quarter, both strategically and operationally," said Kirk Morgan, Chief Financial Officer of ICG. "Our recent acquisitions and improving performance move us further along in the trajectory to reach our long-term targets of $500 million of revenue and $70 million of EBITDA by 2015."

(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. The acquisition of MSDSonline occurred on March 30, 2012 and is included in our results starting in the second quarter of 2012. Core consolidated revenue is the sum of the revenue of ICG's core consolidated companies, GovDelivery, InvestorForce, MSDSonline (beginning in the second quarter of 2012) and Procurian. 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 core consolidated companies, GovDelivery, InvestorForce, MSDSonline (beginning in the second quarter of 2012) and Procurian. 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 core consolidated companies, GovDelivery, InvestorForce, MSDSonline (beginning in the second quarter of 2012) and Procurian. 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.
