j2 Reports Q3 2013 Results
Reports 37% Revenue Growth versus Q3 2012
Announces Ninth Consecutive Quarterly Dividend Increase to $0.255 per share
LOS ANGELES --- j2 Global, Inc. (NASDAQGS:JCOM) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 and announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.255 per share, j2’s ninth consecutive quarterly dividend increase.
THIRD QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
Quarterly revenues increased 37.0% to $127.8 million compared to $93.2 million for Q3 2012 driven primarily by Digital Media revenues of $33.5 million compared to nil for Q3 2012 and 4.2% growth in Business Cloud Services subscription revenues to $93.4 million compared to $89.6 million for Q3 2012, partially offset by a decrease in intellectual property (IP) licensing revenues to $1.0 million from $3.0 million for Q3 2012.
GAAP earnings per diluted share (EPS) was impacted by $0.13 in the quarter due to $0.07 of “additional income tax benefit from prior years” recognized in Q3 2012 but not in Q3 2013, $0.03 from the shortfall in IP licensing revenues and $0.02 in additional interest expense recognized in Q3 2013 from a full-quarter of interest on j2’s Senior Notes versus approximately nine weeks of such interest in Q3 2012, resulting in Q3 2013 GAAP EPS of $0.59 compared to $0.69 for Q3 2012. Non-GAAP EPS (1)(2) was impacted by $0.06 in the quarter due to $0.03 from the shortfall in IP licensing revenues and $0.02 from the incremental interest expense on j2’s Senior Notes, resulting in Q3 2013 Non-GAAP EPS of $0.64 compared to $0.65 for Q3 2012.
Quarterly EBITDA (3) increased 5.6% to $52.8 million compared to $50.0 million for Q3 2012, despite a reduction of $2.0 million in EBITDA from IP licensing.
Free cash flow (4) for the quarter decreased to $22.3 million compared to $37.1 million for Q3 2012, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable related to the Digital Media division and the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses versus Q3 2012 resulting in a change in the Company’s working capital accounts of $11.5 million and an increase in capital additions of $4.2 million versus Q3 2012.
Cancel rate (5) for the quarter improved to 2.27% versus 2.28% for Q3 2012, remaining at near historic lows.
Net paid DIDs grew by approximately 29,000 during the quarter and total net paid DIDs deployed at quarter-end reached an all-time high of 2.22 million.
j2 ended the quarter with approximately $375 million in cash and investments.
Key financial results for Q3 2013 versus Q3 2012 are set forth in the following table (in millions, except earnings per share). Reconciliations of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, EBITDA and free cash flow to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are attached to this Press Release.

“We are extremely pleased that we have achieved our targeted diversification and growth in revenues in our digital media and business cloud subscription operations while maintaining our focus on profitability and cash flow,” said Hemi Zucker, CEO of j2. “I am very pleased with the results of our IP licensing operations for the first nine months of the year, which have produced $16.8 million in revenues versus $3.8 million for the comparable year ago period; however, this quarter produced $1.0 million in IP licensing revenues, which is at the low end of our quarterly expectations.”
“In the past six fiscal quarters, we have generated $0.5 million, $3.0 million, $1.8 million, $0.9 million, $14.9 million and $1.0 million in IP licensing revenues,” said Scott Turicchi, president of j2. “These results clearly demonstrate the value of our IP portfolio and also demonstrate the volatility of this activity, as virtually all of this revenue drops to the bottom line. The timing of IP licensing revenues is hard to predict as it often involves litigation.”
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
j2 is reaffirming its previously increased fiscal 2013 revenues estimate of between $510 and $535 million and its previously increased fiscal 2013 non-GAAP earnings per diluted share estimate of between $2.78 and $2.98.
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for 2013 excludes, prior to tax, acquisition-related integration costs of approximately $7.9 million and share-based compensation of between $9 and $10 million.
It is anticipated that the normalized tax rate for 2013 will be less than 25%.
j2’s Board of Directors has approved its tenth consecutive quarterly cash dividend, in this case in the amount of $0.255 per common share, which is a 3.0% increase versus last quarter’s dividend and a 13.3% increase versus the dividend paid in Q4 2012. This is j2’s ninth consecutive quarterly dividend increase and represents a 27.5% increase versus its first quarterly dividend in September 2011. The dividend will be paid on December 4, 2013 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 18, 2013. Future dividends will be subject to Board approval.

* The reconciliation of Net income per share from GAAP to non-GAAP may not foot since each is calculated independently.
The Company discloses non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (EPS) as supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measure, as it believes it is a useful metric by which to compare the performance of its business from period to period. The Company also understands that this non-GAAP measure is broadly used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in assessing the Company's performance. Accordingly, the Company believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors.
Non-GAAP EPS is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, Net income per share and may be different from non-GAAP measures with similar or even identical names used by other companies. In addition, this non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This non-GAAP measure has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA as calculated above represents earnings before interest and other expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and the items used to reconcile GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, including (1) share-based compensation and (2) certain acquisition-related integration costs. We disclose EBITDA as a supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measure as we believe it is a useful metric by which to compare the performance of our business from period to period. We understand that measures similar to EBITDA are broadly used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in assessing our performance. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors.
EBITDA is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, Net income, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, EBITDA is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This non-GAAP measure has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company’s results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP.
