RetailMeNot Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results


AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- RetailMeNot, Inc. (NASDAQ:SALE), the operator of the world's largest marketplace for digital offers, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

RetailMeNot, Inc.

Second Quarter Financial Results Highlights and Key Operating Metrics

(All comparisons are made to the second quarter of 2014 unless otherwise noted)

  • Total net revenues declined 11% to $53.2 million.
    • In-store + advertising net revenues increased 72% to $9.6 million, representing 18% of total net revenues.
    • Mobile online transaction net revenues increased 91% to $4.9 million, representing 9% of total net revenues.
    • Desktop online transaction net revenues, which includes tablet, declined 25%, to $38.6 million, representing 73% of total net revenues.
  • Net revenues from international markets were slightly down, totaling $11.6 million, representing 22% of total net revenues.
  • GAAP net loss was $1.6 million, compared to GAAP net income of $4.3 million.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $5.0 million, compared to $11.6 million.
  • EPS was a loss of $0.03 per share, based on 53.5 million fully-diluted, weighted-average shares outstanding.
  • Non-GAAP EPS was $0.09 per share, based on 54.7 million fully-diluted, weighted-average shares outstanding.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $10.6 million, compared to $19.7 million and representing 20% of total net revenues.
  • Total visits grew to 164.0 million, up 6%.
    • Desktop visits in the quarter declined 16% to 97.2 million.
    • Mobile visits in the quarter increased 72% to 66.8 million - or 41% of total visits.
  • Mobile unique visitors grew 44% totaling 18.4 million.

"We continued to drive strong mobile, in-store and advertising revenue during the second quarter, but weakness in organic search, which began in late May, negatively impacted both our desktop and mobile web traffic resulting in disappointing overall results," said Cotter Cunningham, CEO & Founder, RetailMeNot, Inc.  "Given the change in search traffic within the quarter, we felt it was important to make some adjustments designed to right-size our cost structure and improve execution without reducing our investment in growth.  We continue to generate solid operating cash flow and will opportunistically utilize our stock repurchase plan as an efficient use of capital while we transition the business and return to growth."

Business Outlook

Third Quarter 2015

  • Total net revenues are expected to be in the range of $47.5 to $50.0 million, or a decline of 14% at the mid-point.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $5.0 to $7.0 million, or adjusted EBITDA margins of 12% at the mid-point.

Full Year 2015

The company is reducing guidance for the full year as follows:

  • Total net revenues are expected to be in the range of $231.0 to $239.0 million, or a decline of 11% at the mid-point.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $56.0 to $64.0 million, or adjusted EBITDA margins of 26% at the mid-point.

The above statements are based on current expectations and actual results may differ materially as explained in "Forward-looking Statements" below.  Information about RetailMeNot's use of non-GAAP financial measures is provided below under the caption "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Key Operating Metrics

Visits. RetailMeNot defines a visit as a group of interactions that take place on one of RetailMeNot Inc.'s websites from computers, smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices within a given time frame as measured by Google Analytics, a product that provides digital marketing intelligence. A single visit can contain multiple page views, events, social interactions and e-commerce transactions. A single visitor can open multiple visits. Visits can occur on the same day, or over several days, weeks or months. As soon as one visit ends, there is then an opportunity to start a new visit. A visit ends either through the passage of time or a campaign change, with a campaign generally meaning arrival via search engine, referring site or campaign-tagged information. A visit ends through passage of time either after 30 minutes of inactivity or at midnight Pacific Time. A visit ends through a campaign change if a visitor arrives via one campaign or source, leaves the site, and then returns via another campaign or source.  Visits for the period do not include interactions through our mobile applications.

Mobile Unique Visitors.  This amount represents the average number of mobile unique visitors per month for the three month period ending June 30, 2015.  RetailMeNot counts each of the following as a mobile unique visitor: (i) the first time a specific mobile device accesses one of our mobile applications during a calendar month, and (ii) the first time a specific mobile device accesses one of our mobile websites using a specific web browser during a calendar month. If a mobile device accesses more than one of our mobile websites or mobile applications in a single calendar month, the first access to each such mobile website or mobile application is counted as a mobile unique visitor as they are tracked separately for each mobile domain. We measure mobile unique visitors with a combination of internal data sources and Google Analytics data.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this document includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures.  For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the tables provided below in this release.

RetailMeNot defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, third-party acquisition-related costs, other non-cash operating expenses (including compensation arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions), net interest expense, other non-operating income or expense (including net foreign exchange gains and losses) and income taxes.

RetailMeNot discloses adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by RetailMeNot and its board of directors to understand and evaluate RetailMeNot's financial and operating performance, establish budgets and operational goals and as an element in determining executive compensation.  RetailMeNot believes adjusted EBITDA also facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that RetailMeNot excludes in this non-GAAP financial measure and facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. 

Our presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share excludes the impact of amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, third party acquisition-related costs, other non-cash operating expenses (including compensation arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions) and income taxes, net of the tax effect of the adjustments above.  These measures are not key metrics used by RetailMeNot or its board of directors to measure financial or operating performance or otherwise manage the business. However, RetailMeNot provides non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as supplemental information for investors, as they facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that RetailMeNot excludes in these non-GAAP financial measures and facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. 

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of RetailMeNot's results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and RetailMeNot's other GAAP results.
