Announces launch of major new solution Extended Web Reporting |
RESTON, VA, October 30, 2008 comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital
world, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Magid Abraham, comScores president and chief executive officer said, We are pleased our results
in the third quarter met or exceeded the high end of our guidance. We saw strong revenue growth
across both existing and new customers, and our international business continued to grow at a rapid
pace. Similar to recent quarters, we once again added over 100 new customers and our dollar
renewal rates remained in excess of 90 percent. Despite a challenging economic environment, we
believe that our strong third quarter results reinforce the strength of comScores market position
and business model, which is highlighted by substantial recurring revenue, significant
profitability and agility to act quickly in response to changing market conditions and to
capitalize on new opportunities.
Launch of Extended Web Measurement
Abraham added, comScore remains well positioned to help our customers and expand our customer
base. We have a broad and diverse product portfolio that allows our customers to measure
advertising and branding effectiveness; determines tangible ROI on the buying and selling of
multiple forms of digital advertising and obtain analytical insights. In addition, we continue to
expand our value-added offerings, as described in our announcement today of Extended Web
Measurement, a major and well- endorsed extension of our Media Metrix solution. Extended Web
Measurement allows the tracking of distributed web content across third party sites, such as video,
music, gaming applications, widgets and social media. It enables publishers to report audience
reach and characteristics of their various advertising sales packages, providing them with the
ability to market those packages more effectively. The features of Extended Web Measurement are
also intended to help agencies plan their campaigns at a more granular level. We are also adding
a measure of Gross Rating Points, or GRP's, to ease the comparison of online with traditional media
like TV. We believe these and other value-add capabilities should help us attract new customers,
increase revenue from existing customers and strengthen our overall competitive position. Please
refer to todays press announcement regarding Extended Web Measurement on our website:
www.comscore.com/press/pr.asp
Mobile Media Measurement
Additionally, Abraham continued, we have worked rapidly to integrate the M:Metrics mobile
data into the comScore infrastructure and product suite to leverage our platform and combined
customer base. We have secured a contract to collect and process data at a census level of
millions of mobile Internet subscribers, which we expect to provide significant advancements in
mobile media measurement. In the coming months, we expect to expand our mobile measurement product
offerings and services, to include adding the measurement of additional platforms, such as the
BlackBerry, Android and other important device platforms. The addition of these platforms should
increase the number of mobile Internet sites for which comScore provides audience data and metrics;
as well as allow us to initiate the first panel of people who have opted in to behavioral tracking
on both their mobile phone and PC.

Third Quarter Financial Summary:
|
|
|
Reflected in GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2008 is a normalized effective tax
rate of 68 percent, including a cash tax rate of 18 percent. This compares to third
quarter 2007 net income, which reflected an effective tax rate of less than three percent.
The increase in the normalized effective tax rate in the third 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. In addition, the normalized effective tax rate in
the third quarter of 2008 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. Net operating loss carry-forwards continue to reduce cash
taxes. |
|
|
|
|
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $67.6 million as of September
30th, 2008, an increase from $67.2 million on June 30, 2008. Long-term investments at the
end of the third quarter were $6.4 million. |
|
|
|
|
Operating cash flow was $3.8 million and free cash flow
was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the
impact of the M:Metrics acquisition and transition-related costs, free cash flow was
approximately $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2008, and was affected by timing of
capital expenses in the quarter and a $2 million increase in working
capital. We continue to expect cash capital expenditures for the
full-year 2008 to remain approximately $5 million. |
|
|
|
During the third quarter of 2008, comScore added a net 32 new
customers, which brings
the total number of comScore customers to 1,136. |
Financial Outlook
Abraham noted, We continue to expect strong revenue growth in the fourth quarter and full year
2008, driven in large part by the momentum of our subscription revenue. The adjustment to our
overall top-line revenue outlook for 2008 is based on three changes in our prior expectations:
revised seasonal spending expectations relative to project revenue traditionally resulting from
client year-end budgets, the strengthening of the US dollar and the
impact of the capital markets on
bank consolidation and buy side research budgets. The combination of our strong third quarter
results and increased focus on cost controls is expected to lead to
continued profitability in 2008.
We are focused on continuing to provide customers with significant value from comScores existing
and newly introduced products, managing costs and investing selectively in significant growth
opportunities such as international expansion and cross-media measurement. We have already made
changes to align us with the current challenging economic environment. We feel confident about
our strong market and competitive position, Extended Web offering which we believe will tap
into additional revenue streams, product and technology leadership, attractive
business model and strong balance sheet, all of which will allow us to weather difficult macro
economic conditions and emerge with strength when the economic environment
improves, Abraham concluded.

Based on
the strength of the companys third quarter results and continued cost management focus, guidance is generally in line with prior
expectations for full-year adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings for the full year 2008, while GAAP
earnings are expected to be slightly lower than prior expectations due primarily to the impact of
the impairment of auction rate securities and a normalized tax rate that is higher than
previously anticipated.
comScores GAAP net income guidance for the full year 2008 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 48 percent,
including an estimated cash tax rate of approximately 6 percent, is assumed to be applied against
full-year earnings before taxes.
A reconciliation of the guidance for fourth 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.
The
companys fourth quarter and full-year 2008 guidance excludes the effects of the following two potential
items that we expect may also occur in the fourth quarter:
|
1) |
|
As of September 30, 2008, the company had a valuation allowance of $26.4
million against certain deferred tax assets, which consisted principally of net
operating loss carry-forwards. The company has continued to evaluate its valuation
allowance position on a regular basis. Depending on the actual results for the
fourth quarter of 2008 and projected operating results for 2009 and beyond, there
may be sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that all or a portion of the
remaining valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets be reduced in the fourth
quarter of this year. It is expected that any such reduction of the companys
valuation allowance will have a material positive impact on its results from
operations in the quarter when the reversal is recorded. The companys forecasted
GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income amounts presented in this press
release do not reflect any adjustments related to a reversal of the companys
valuation allowance. The potential reversal of the valuation allowance affects book
income only; there would be no impact on operating or free cash flow until the net
operating losses were actually utilized against taxable income. In the fourth
quarter 2007, the company realized a tax benefit of $8.1 million related to an
adjustment of the valuation allowance |
|
|
2) |
|
Potential transition-related charges associated with the M:Metrics
acquisition for lease terminations and consolidation that could total up to $1.5
million. |

www.comscore.com.
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 special
charges to evaluate profit performance while including the impact of depreciation, interest
income/expense and cash taxes. Special charges 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. Special charges for the third quarter of 2008 include an unrealized loss of $455,000
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, temporary third
party survey research costs that will be eliminated by the end of this year, as well as a special charge related to lease termination costs. 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. A
reconciliation of comScores GAAP results to these non-GAAP measures is included in the financial
tables accompanying this release.
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.
