Rosetta Stone Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results


ARLINGTON, Va. --(Business Wire)--

Rosetta Stone Inc. (NYSE:RST), a leading provider of technology-based language-learning, reading and brain fitness solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2014.

The highlights of the quarter include the following:

  • Increased total bookings by 16% to $82.1 million
  • Achieved Adjusted EBITDA of $6.3 million towards the high-end of guidance
  • Delivered organic Enterprise & Education ("E&E") growth of 10%, including:
    • Accelerating organic E&E Language growth of 5% and
    • E&E Literacy organic growth of 32% driven by strong new business and renewals
  • Rebound in North America Consumer from strong web channel sales
  • Finalized Kids Reading for launch in early November 2014
  • Confirming lower end of full-year 2014 Bookings and Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $315 to $325 million and $18 to $22 million, respectively.

Steve Swad, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In the third quarter, we once again made solid strides towards delivering on our plan for the year and progress toward our longer-term business transformation. We delivered Adjusted EBITDA near the high-end of our guidance and grew our E&E business at an organic 10% rate." Swad added, "I was pleased with the direction and the results in the third quarter including the growth in the Education & Enterprise segment and a rebound in our North America Consumer business. In the first nine months of 2014, we laid the foundation for the future by integrating our acquisitions, making enhancements to our website and developing new solutions and products that we are now rolling out. In the fourth quarter we should start to see more of the results from this work."

Third Quarter 2014 Operational and Financial Highlights

Bookings: Total consolidated bookings increased 16% to $82.1 million from $70.7 million in the year-ago period. Bookings in the Global Enterprise & Education ("E&E") segment increased 50% compared with a year-ago. Organic E&E bookings increased 10% versus a year-ago, which was driven by 5% organic bookings growth from Language and 32% organic bookings from Literacy compared with the third quarter of 2013. Organic bookings growth in Language accelerated in the quarter compared with the first half of the year due to higher renewals, and the positive impact of selling a unified suite of language solutions following the acquisition of Tell Me More in early 2014. Organic Literacy bookings continued to grow at high rates due to strong acceptance in the marketplace and a high level of renewals and upsell. North America Consumer segment ("NA Consumer") bookings increased 4% to $40.2 million from $38.6 million, representing a return to growth driven by a 21% increase in bookings from the web channel. Bookings from the retail and call center channels both continued to decline, partially offsetting the growth from web. Bookings from Fit Brains added an incremental $1.1 million to NA Consumer. Rest of World ("ROW") Consumer segment bookings declined 32%, primarily reflecting the downsizing of operations in Asia in the first quarter of 2014.

Revenue: Total revenue increased $3.6 million or 6% to $64.5 million from $60.9 million. E&E revenue grew 50% in the third quarter compared with a year ago, primarily driven by acquisitions. NA Consumer revenue decreased 6% to $36.4 million, primarily reflecting lower retail and call center channel performance and lower paid online learner revenue. Fit Brains contributed $0.8 million during the quarter. ROW Consumer revenue decreased 22% due mainly to the downsizing in Asia in the first quarter of 2014.

  • Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $6.3 million vs. $5.9 million a year ago. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared with Q313 is due to a $1.3 million increase in total segment contribution, on an economic basis, to $29.1 million partially offset by an increase in unallocated expenses, most of which was driven by an increase in general and administrative expenses related to the acquisitions of Lexia, Tell Me More and Fit Brains. The increase in total segment contribution was driven by a $5.7 million increase in contribution from E&E to $18.6 million from $12.9 million a year ago, partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease in contribution from NA Consumer and a $0.2 million decrease in ROW Consumer. The improved contribution from E&E is predominantly due to the $12.3 million of higher E&E bookings compared with a year ago. The lower contribution from NA Consumer is mostly due to the lower bookings of $2.3 million, versus a year-ago and higher selling and marketing costs.
  • Balance Sheet and Cash Flow: Cash at the end of the quarter was $49.4 million compared with $46.8 million at 6/30/14. Deferred revenue of $110.9 million increased $17.7 million in the quarter compared with $93.2 million at 6/30/14 and increased $38.3 million compared with $72.6 million a year ago, reflecting the growth in E&E over the past year as well as an increase in consumer online learners. Over 75% of this deferred revenue balance is short term and will be recognized over the next 12 months. Free cash flow in the third quarter was $3.4 million compared with negative $2.8 million a year ago. The increase in free cash flow reflects the higher Adjusted EBITDA as well as better working capital, which was partially offset by modestly higher capital expenditures of $2.7 million this quarter vs. $2.2 million a year ago.

Guidance

The company is confirming its guidance for the full year 2014 in the below table. In addition, management believes that based on current forecasts, consolidated bookings and Adjusted EBITDA results are more likely to be nearer the lower-end of the ranges.

   

FY 2014 Guidance

 
Amount/Range Commentary
Consolidated Bookings $315MM to $325MM Mid-single digit % growth
 
Adjusted EBITDA $18MM to $22MM ~5% margin
 
Shares outstanding ~22MM
 
Capital Expenditures $10MM to $14MM Acquisition Integrations
 
Long-term effective tax rate 39%
 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains several non-GAAP financial measures.

  • Bookings represent executed sales contracts received by the Company that are either recorded immediately as revenue or as deferred revenue.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income/(loss) plus interest income and expense, other income/expense, income tax benefit and expense, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment plus the change in deferred revenue (excluding acquired deferred revenue) less the change in deferred commissions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA excludes any items related to the litigation with Google Inc., restructuring and related wind down costs, severance costs and transaction and other costs associated with mergers and acquisitions as well as all adjustments related to recording the non-cash tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been revised to conform to current definition.
  • Free cash flow is cash flow from operations less cash used in purchases of property and equipment.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining executive incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and in quarterly financial reports presented to the Company's board of directors. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other software and education-technology companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Management typically excludes the amounts described below when evaluating the Company's operating performance and believes that the resulting non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company's operating performance, due to the following factors:

  • Amortization of Acquired Intangibles. Amortization costs and the related tax effects are fixed at the time of an acquisition, and then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition.
  • Stock-based Compensation. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of compensation of the Company's employees and executives, stock-based compensation expense is generally fixed at the time of grant, then amortized over a period of several years after the grant of the stock-based instrument, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the grant. In addition, the impact of shares granted under these plans is considered in the Company's EPS calculation to the extent the shares are dilutive.
  • Bookings. Although revenue is an important aspect of measuring Company performance, the Company believes total sales bookings can be a valuable indicator of the Company's performance. The Company is transitioning to a greater amount of subscription sales, which results in an increasing portion of sales being recorded as deferred revenue.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations, because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and items of income are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and may not be calculated in the same manner as other companies' similarly titled non-GAAP measures.

In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. The company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing earnings information, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company's business.

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are included at the end of this release.
