PRESS RELEASE
comScore Revenue Grows by 38% to a Record $28.8 Million in Q2 2008
Pre-Tax Net Income Increases by 156%
comScore, Excluding Impact of M:Metrics Acquisition, Exceeds Q2 2008 Guidance Across All
Key Indicators; Momentum Expected to Continue for the Balance of the Year
Reston, VA, July 31, 2008 comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world,
today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. The companys
results reflect the acquisition of M:Metrics, Inc., which was completed on May 27, 2008 and
include M:Metrics operating results since that date. In addition, results excluding the impact of
the M:Metrics acquisition are highlighted on a one-time basis for this reporting period to facilitate
comparisons with company guidance issued prior to the acquisition.
This quarter we posted the highest levels of revenue and profitability in the companys
history, exceeding our guidance in all respects for our base comScore business, which excludes the
results of M:Metrics, said Magid Abraham, comScores president and chief executive officer. Our
marketplace momentum continues with strong new business and growth among existing clients. Our
acquisition of M:Metrics demonstrates our continued pursuit of our strategic priorities of product
innovation and increasing our industry leadership position in global digital marketing
intelligence. As we have integrated and continue to integrate the M:Metrics business into
comScores existing operations, we remain very enthusiastic about the potential opportunities to
increase value for our agency, marketer and publisher customers through our combined resources. We
expect that M:Metrics products and leadership position in the measurement of the mobile internet
and media market will be an important complement to comScores existing strong market position. We
remain on track with our objective for M:Metrics to make a positive contribution to Adjusted EBITDA
by the end of the fourth quarter of 2008.
During the second quarter of 2008, we generated 38 percent revenue growth over the second quarter
of 2007, while our deferred revenue balance increased 58 percent over the balance at the end of the
second quarter of 2007 and increased 39 percent excluding the impact of our acquisition of
M:Metrics, continued Dr. Abraham. These results were achieved while we simultaneously increased
our pre-tax net income by 156 percent, our net income by 38 percent and our Adjusted EBITDA by 56
percent over the second quarter of 2007. We continued to make gains in penetrating our existing
customer base both in the U.S. and internationally, and we added a net 74 new customers in the
second quarter of 2008. We also experienced 37 percent growth in revenue with existing customers
over the second quarter of 2007, and our renewal rates continue to exceed 90 percent. Despite the
general macro-economic uncertainty, our confidence in the strength of our business remains high and
we continue to see strong client demand for our products and services.

Second Quarter Operating Summary:
comScore reported revenue of $28.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, an increase of 38
percent compared to the second quarter of 2007 and an increase of nine percent over the first
quarter of 2008. This revenue performance exceeded the range of the companys guidance of
approximately $27.1 million to $27.4 million for second quarter 2008. Excluding the results of
M:Metrics, revenue in the second quarter of 2008 was $27.8 million, an increase of 34 percent over
the second quarter of 2007.
Second quarter 2008 GAAP income before income taxes was $3.2 million, up 156 percent compared to
the second quarter of 2007. Excluding the results of M:Metrics, second quarter 2008 income before
income taxes was $4.4 million, an increase of 249 percent compared to the second quarter of 2007.
GAAP net income was $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2008, up 38 percent compared to the
second quarter of 2007. Reflected in GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2008 is a
normalized effective tax rate of 46 percent, including a cash tax rate of 4.4 percent. The
normalized effective tax rate was negatively impacted by current year net losses incurred by
certain M:Metrics international subsidiaries for which the full benefit is not realized by other
comScore subsidiaries. Excluding the results of M:Metrics, net income was $2.6 million, up 108
percent compared to the second quarter of 2007. Excluding the results of the M:Metrics
acquisition, the normalized effective tax rate was 41.8 percent, including a cash tax rate of 3.3
percent as the company continues to utilize net operating loss carryforwards to reduce cash taxes.
Second quarter 2007 net income reflects an effective tax rate of less than one percent. The
increase in the normalized effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the prior
year period is due primarily to the reversal of a portion of our valuation allowance in the fourth
quarter of 2007.
comScore reports net income and earnings per share (EPS) on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. For the
second quarter of 2008, non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS exclude stock-based compensation,
amortization of certain intangible assets, the additional income tax provision resulting from the
valuation allowance reversal in 2007, and certain non-recurring items. In addition, comScore
reports adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow as non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA comprises
non-GAAP net income further adjusted to exclude the cash tax provision, depreciation and interest
income (expense), net. Non-recurring items for the second quarter of 2008 include an unrealized
loss of $386,000 associated with the companys investment in certain auction rate securities and
all non-recurring costs associated with the M:Metrics acquisition. The non-recurring M:Metrics
costs include salaries, benefits, payroll taxes and bonuses paid to M:Metrics employees who will be
terminated after a transition period in 2008 along with related severance costs and temporary third
party survey research costs that will be eliminated by the end of this year. A reconciliation of
comScores GAAP results to these non-GAAP measures is included in the financial tables accompanying
this release.
|
|
|
GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2008 was $0.06 per share on approximately
30.3 million fully diluted shares. Excluding the results of M:Metrics in the second
quarter, EPS was $0.09 per share, which exceeded the companys previous guidance for
GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2008 of $0.07 to $0.08 per share. |
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.5 million, an increase of 56 percent compared to the
corresponding quarter in 2007. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the results of M:Metrics in
the second quarter of 2008, was $6.8 million, an increase of 63 percent compared to the
second quarter of 2007. This performance exceeded the companys previous guidance for
adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2008 of $5.8 million to $6.1 million. |
|
|
|
|
comScores Adjusted EBITDA margin was approximately 22 percent, an increase
of approximately three percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2007. This
Adjusted EBITDA margin includes the impact of an approximately two percentage point
reduction attributable to $650,000 in incremental costs incurred in the second quarter
of 2008 due to comScores public reporting and compliance obligations, costs which were
not yet applicable to the company in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding the results
of M:Metrics, the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 24 percent in the second quarter, an
increase of approximately five percentage points compared to the second quarter of
2007. |
|
|
|
|
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $5.6
million, an increase of 70 percent compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter of
2007. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.19 per share. Excluding the results of M:Metrics in the
second quarter of 2008, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $6.0 million, an increase of
83 percent compared to the second quarter of 2007, while non-GAAP EPS was $0.20 per
share. These results exceeded the companys guidance for non-GAAP adjusted net income
and non-GAAP EPS for second quarter 2008 of $4.7 million to $5.0 million and $0.16 to
$0.17 per share, respectively. |
Second Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights:
|
|
|
comScores subscription revenue was $23.7 million for the second quarter of
2008, an increase of 45 percent over the corresponding quarter in 2007. Subscription
revenue accounted for 82 percent of comScores total revenue for the second quarter of
2008, an increase of four percentage points over the second quarter of 2007 and one
percentage point over the first quarter of 2008. |
|
|
|
|
Revenue from existing customers in the second quarter of 2008 totaled $24.3
million, an increase of 37 percent compared to the second quarter of 2007, while
revenue from new customers was $4.5 million, an increase of 43 percent compared to the
second quarter of 2007. |
|
|
|
|
During the second quarter of 2008, comScore added a net 74 new customers,
which brings the total number of comScore customers to 1,104. Within this total
customer count, the company added a net 64 new subscription-based customers in the
second quarter of 2008, resulting in a total of 1,013 subscription-based customers as
of the end of the second quarter of 2008. |
|
|
|
|
International revenue was $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, an
increase of 75 percent compared to the corresponding prior year period, and accounted
for 14 percent of the companys total revenue in the second quarter of 2008, as
compared to 11 percent of total revenue in the second quarter of 2007. |
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Summary:
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2008, comScore held $67.2 million in cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments and $7.6 million in long-term investments. Deferred revenue
was $42.2 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of 58 percent compared to the deferred
revenue balance at June 30, 2007, and an increase of 39 percent excluding the impact of
M:Metrics. The decline of $36.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short- and
long-term investments compared to the $111.6 million balance as of March 31, 2008, is
due primarily to the utilization of approximately $44.3 million, excluding transaction
costs, in cash to acquire M:Metrics in the second quarter of 2008. |
|
|
|
|
During the second quarter of 2008, the company generated approximately
$14.2 million in cash flow from operations, an increase of $9.7 million, or 214
percent, compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. Free cash flow was
$7.8 million, compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. |
Financial Outlook:
On a consolidated basis, including the results of M:Metrics, comScore is forecasting full-year 2008
revenue of approximately $119.7 million to $120.4 million. This reflects an increase in the
full-year estimates for the base comScore business and includes the impact of M:Metrics.
For the full-year 2008, comScore is projecting GAAP net income of $6.6 million to $7.2 million.
This includes the effect of certain non-recurring acquisition-related expenses, stock-based
compensation, and amortization of certain intangible assets. An estimated normalized effective tax
rate of approximately 44 percent, including an estimated cash tax rate of approximately 4.9
percent, is assumed to be applied against full-year earnings before taxes. The estimated
normalized tax rate for comScore, excluding the impact of M:Metrics, is assumed to be approximately
41 percent, including an estimated cash tax rate of approximately 4.9 percent. Our projections also
assume lower interest income than previous guidance due primarily to a smaller interest-bearing
cash balance as a result of the utilization of approximately $44.3 million in cash to acquire
M:Metrics. Given these assumptions, the company is projecting GAAP EPS for the full-year 2008 of
$0.22 to $0.23 per share. These GAAP net income and GAAP EPS projections for the full-year 2008
reflect the effects of the purchase accounting and consolidating the financial results of M:Metrics
with our existing comScore results.
The company is projecting Adjusted EBITDA for the full-year 2008 in the range of $25.5 million to
$26.1 million. This range reflects an increase in the estimates for the base comScore business and
includes the impact of M:Metrics. It also assumes that operations from the acquisition of
M:Metrics begin to contribute positively to Adjusted EBITDA by the end of the fourth quarter of
2008.
comScore is also forecasting non-GAAP adjusted net income of approximately $21.7 million to $22.1
million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.71 to $0.73 per share for full-year 2008. These non-GAAP adjusted
net income and non-GAAP EPS projections for the full-year 2008 reflect an increase in the estimates
for the base comScore business and include the impact of consolidating
the financial results of M:Metrics with our base comScore estimates.
comScore is forecasting third quarter 2008 revenue of approximately $30.2 million to $30.7 million,
an increase of 35 percent to 37 percent compared to the third quarter of 2007. For the third
quarter of 2008, comScore is projecting GAAP net income of $0.4 million to $0.6 million. An
estimated normalized effective tax rate of approximately 44 percent to 45 percent, including an
estimated cash tax rate of approximately 9.5 percent, is assumed to be applied against third
quarter earnings before taxes. This compares to an estimated normalized tax rate for comScore,
excluding the post-acquisition impact of M:Metrics, of approximately 41 percent in the third
quarter 2008, including an estimated cash tax rate of approximately 4.3 percent. The company is
forecasting GAAP EPS for the third quarter 2008 of $0.01 to $0.02 per share.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2008 is forecast to be $5.4 million to $5.7 million. The
adjusted EBITDA forecast for the third quarter of 2008 results in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18
percent to 19 percent.
comScore is also forecasting non-GAAP adjusted net income for the third quarter 2008 of $4.0
million to $4.4 million. The company is forecasting non-GAAP EPS for the third quarter 2008 of
$0.13 to $0.14 per share. A reconciliation of the guidance for third quarter and full-year 2008
GAAP net income and EPS to the adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP EPS is
set forth in the table accompanying this release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
comScore reports all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). comScore believes, however, that evaluating its ongoing operating
results will be enhanced if it also discloses certain non-GAAP information because it is useful to
understand comScores performance, as it excludes non-cash and other special charges that many
investors believe may obscure comScores on-going operating results.
For example, comScore uses non-GAAP adjusted net income, which excludes the impact of the
revaluation of preferred stock warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation, the amortization of
intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, the additional income tax provision booked or
projected for 2008 resulting from the valuation allowance reversal in 2007, and certain
non-recurring items to evaluate profit performance while including the impact of depreciation,
interest income/expense and cash taxes. Non-recurring items that have been excluded during the
historical or projection period include withdrawn follow-on public offering costs, unrealized
losses on marketable securities and non-recurring costs associated with the M:Metrics acquisition.
comScore also reports non-GAAP EPS (diluted), which uses non-GAAP adjusted net income in lieu of
GAAP net income in calculating earnings per share.
In addition, comScore believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for investors to use to evaluate its operating
performance. Adjusted EBITDA comprises non-GAAP net income further adjusted
to exclude the cash tax provision, depreciation and interest income (expenses), net. The company
believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the companys operational strength and
the performance of its business because it provides a link between profitability and operating cash
flow. Adjusted EBITDA is also widely used by investors and analysts as a supplemental measure to
evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in comScores industry. comScores
management also uses Adjusted EBITDA extensively as a measure of operating performance because it
does not include the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. Moreover,
the companys management uses the measure for planning purposes, to allocate resources and to
evaluate the effectiveness of the companys business strategies and managements performance.
The company believes that excluding non-recurring costs from non-GAAP net income and EPS and from
Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful indication to investors of the expected on-going operating
performance of the Company. Specifically as it relates to M:Metrics, the exclusion of the
non-recurring costs reflect the expected benefits to be realized upon the integration of M:Metrics
into comScore.
comScores management also uses free cash flow as a non-GAAP measure of the companys operating
cash flow less cash expenditures for capital spending as a key indicator of the companys operating
cash flow performance net of capital outlays.
Whenever comScore uses such non-GAAP financial measures, it provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP
financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. The mid-points of the
ranges for projected GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income are used in the
reconciliation, where applicable. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial
measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure.
