CoStar First Quarter 2013 Revenue Grows 52% Year-Over-Year;
Organic Growth Rate of LoopNet Core Business
Surges 219% Since Acquisition;
Company Raises Revenue and Earnings Guidance
WASHINGTON, DC - April 24, 2013 - CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), commercial real estate's leading Internet provider of information, analytics and marketing services, announced today that revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was $104.0 million versus $68.6 million in the first quarter of 2012, which represents an increase of 52% year-over-year.
“I am very pleased with the progress we have made since closing the LoopNet acquisition a year ago,” said Andrew C. Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar. “We had a record $13.8 million in annualized net new sales in the first quarter of 2013, which is up 27% from last quarter. In March 2013, we recorded our best sales month ever.”
Florance stated: “We achieved all-time high quarterly revenue for LoopNet Premium Membership in the first quarter of 2013 and increased the organic revenue growth rate for Premium Membership by 219%, from 5.2% in the first quarter of 2012 to 16.6% in the first quarter of 2013. Also, we increased the average new sales price 32% on Premium Membership from $57 to $75 year-over-year. In March 2013, 51% of all new Premium Membership subscribers signed up for annual contracts, up from almost no annual contracts before the acquisition.”
“Total revenue synergies from the acquisition through the end of the first quarter of 2013 increased to $18.4 million, including $12.4 million of CoStar information sales to LoopNet members and approximately $2.0 million in LoopNet marketing services to CoStar clients. I expect we will achieve our goal of a $500 million revenue run rate and 30-35% adjusted EBITDA margins as we exit 2014,” said Florance.

Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes stock-based compensation and other items as defined below) was $25.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2012, which is an increase of 68% year-over-year.
In February 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of CoStar approved grants of performance-based restricted stock that would vest upon the achievement of $90 million of cumulative EBITDA over a period of four consecutive quarters. These awards support the Committee's goals of aligning management's incentives with increasing long-term stockholder value through increased earnings.
Based on continued strong performance, the accelerated pace and success of the LoopNet integration and management's increased confidence that it is probable the earnings goals will be achieved during 2014, the Company recorded a cumulative catch-up of stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter.
EBITDA in the first quarter of 2013 was $7.6 million and was impacted by $15.1 million of higher stock-based compensation expense compared to last year, mainly related to the performance-based restricted stock awards.
Non-GAAP net income (defined below) in the first quarter of 2013 was $13.0 million or $0.47 per diluted share, which represents an increase of $4.8 million or 59% year-over-year. Net income in the first quarter of 2013 was ($2.4) million or ($0.09) per diluted share and includes the impact of the additional stock-based compensation expense.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $189.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments. This represents an increase of $11.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2012. Short and long-term debt associated with the LoopNet acquisition totaled approximately $166.3 million as of March 31, 2013.
2013 Outlook
“Based on the ongoing success of our cross-selling initiatives, as well as the continued strength of our core information, analytics and marketing services, we are raising both our revenue and earnings estimates for 2013,” stated Brian J. Radecki, Chief Financial Officer of CoStar. For the second quarter of 2013, the Company expects revenue in the range of approximately $105 million to $107 million, and approximately $428 million to $432 million for the full year 2013, an increase of $4.0 million compared to the Company's prior guidance.
For the second quarter of 2013, the Company expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share (defined below) in the range of approximately $0.50 to $0.53. For the full year of 2013, the Company currently expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share in a range of approximately $2.12 to $2.22, an increase of $0.04 compared to the Company's previous guidance.
The annual revenue and earnings outlook includes the impact of de-emphasizing or eliminating certain services.
The adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the Company's outlook do not include stock-based compensation expense and other items. In each of the remaining quarters of 2013, the company expects to record approximately $7.5 million to $8.5 million per quarter of total stock compensation expense, which includes both normal ongoing stock-based compensation awards and the performance-based awards expense.
The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar's expectations as of April 24, 2013, including forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis - including LoopNet
and related costs. We are not able to forecast with certainty whether or when certain events, such as acquisition-related costs, restructuring, settlements or impairments will occur in any given quarter. Given the risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed above, actual results may differ materially. Other than in publicly available statements, the Company does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement.
Reconciliation of non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and all of the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP basis results are shown in detail below, along with definitions for those terms.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations, please refer to the Company's latest periodic report.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group, Inc. before (i) interest income (expense), (ii) provision for income taxes, and (iii) depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EBITDA before (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) acquisition and integration related costs, (iii) restructuring charges and related costs, (iv) costs related to the acquisition and transition of the Company's corporate headquarters, and (v) settlements and impairments incurred outside the Company's normal business operations.
Non-GAAP net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group, Inc. before (i) purchase amortization and other related costs, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) acquisition and integration related costs, (iv) purchase accounting adjustments, (v) restructuring charges and related costs and (vi) settlements and impairments. From this figure, we then subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to arrive at non-GAAP net income. We assume a 38% tax rate in order to approximate our long-term effective corporate tax rate.
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share (also referred to as non-GAAP EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents non-GAAP net income divided by the number of diluted shares outstanding for the period used in the calculation of GAAP net income per diluted share.
