Company Reports Q3 Revenue up 58% to $19.5 million
Delivers GAAP DILUTED EPS of $0.07 and NON-GAAP(1) DILUTED EPS
of $0.21
NEW YORK, NY - October 26, 2006 - Bankrate, Inc. (NASDAQ: RATE), today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006. Total revenue increased by 58% to $19.5 million over the $12.4 million reported in the third quarter of 2005. GAAP earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) were $0.07 for the third quarter 2006 compared to $0.16 in the third quarter 2005. Current results include a $0.09 per share charge attributable to the American Interbanc, LLC settlement and a $0.05 per share expense for stock compensation. Non-GAAP EPS for the quarter, excluding the $1.7 million stock compensation expense and $3.0 million legal settlement charge, were $0.21 for the current quarter compared to $0.16 in the third quarter 2005. Included in both the GAAP and non-GAAP EPS results for the quarter is a legal expense of $675,000, which represents a $0.02 per share.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) on a GAAP basis, including the legal settlement charge and stock compensation expense, were $1.5 million compared to $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2005.

charge and $1.7 million stock compensation expense, were $6.2 million, an increase of 48% over the $4.2 million reported in the third quarter 2005. Third quarter 2006 GAAP and non-GAAP EBITDA results also include the $675,000 in legal expense.
“Our core business remained strong during the quarter, performing in line with our expectations” said Thomas R. Evans, President and CEO of Bankrate, Inc. “With the exception of FastFind, we continue to demonstrate the elasticity and leverage of our business model. We are working to improve this part of our business and remain confident that it will provide a meaningful contribution in 2007,” added Mr. Evans.
The Company recorded a charge of $3.0 million during the quarter attributable to settlement of the 2002 American Interbanc lawsuit. The Company admitted no wrongdoing in connection with the settlement and chose to settle the lawsuit rather to avoid an expensive and prolonged trial that would divert management's attention from operating the business.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Bankrate uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including EBITDA, income from operations, income before income taxes, and net income, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results. In addition, because the Company has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in its financial reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
