ACTUA ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Company announces increase in share repurchase program and intention to launch Dutch tender

Radnor, PA - (November 3, 2016) -Actua Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTA) (“Actua”) today reported its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Highlights

• Closed the sale of GovDelivery to an investor group led by Vista Equity Partners, resulting in proceeds to Actua of approximately $133 million.

• Expanded Actua’s existing share repurchase program from $150 million to $189.8 million, increasing Actua’s current availability from $85.2 million to $125 million.

• Expects to commence a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer for up to $80 million of its common stock at a price per share not less than $12.00 and not greater than $14.00 on or about November 7, 2016. The tender offer would remain open for at least 20 business days. For details regarding the tender offer, please see the information on the tender offer located in the Investors section of the Actua website at www.actua.com.

• Announced FolioDynamix’s acquisition of Summit Advisor Solutions (SAS), a Dallas-based firm focused on providing advisory services to the independent RIA market.

“The GovDelivery transaction demonstrates the value Actua brings in building successful SaaS businesses and unlocking that value for stockholders,” said Walter Buckley, CEO of Actua. “With approximately $170 million of cash following the GovDelivery sale, we will continue to drive stockholder value by building our remaining businesses and repurchasing shares.”

Because GovDelivery is presented as a discontinued operation as of September 30, 2016, GovDelivery’s results are excluded from our continuing operations for all periods presented.

Revenue was $27.9 million for the third quarter of 2016, up from $24.9 million for the third quarter of 2015. Net loss attributable to Actua for the third quarter of 2016 was $(10.1) million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to Actua of $(13.9) million, or $(0.37) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $(1.6) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $(1.4) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, for the comparable prior year quarter.

About Actua’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. The tables above reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Actua strongly urges investors and potential investors in our securities to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release.

Actua’s management believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they allow investors to view the business through the eyes of management and provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Actua’s operating results, as they exclude amounts that Actua excludes as part of its monitoring of operating results and assessment of the performance of the business.

Actua presents the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: (1) non-GAAP net income (loss) (which term may be used interchangeably with adjusted net income (loss) by management during quarterly earnings presentations), (2) non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share (which term may be used interchangeably with adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share by management during quarterly earnings presentations), (3) Adjusted EBITDA, (4) Adjusted Cost of revenue, (5) Adjusted Sales and marketing, (6) Adjusted General and administrative, (7) Adjusted Research and development and (8) non-GAAP cash flows from operations. Actua excludes items from these non-GAAP financial measures as described below.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes from GAAP net income (loss) the following items:

• Share-based compensation. Actua excludes share-based compensation expenses and other expenses associated with equity granted to employees and non-employee directors primarily because they are non-cash expenses that Actua does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business, and the exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of results over different time periods and the comparison of Actua’s results with results of other companies.

• Amortization of intangibles. Actua excludes amortization of acquired intangibles, which consists primarily of customer relationships and technology, because they are expenses that Actua does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business, and Actua believes that doing so facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies.

• Impairment related and other costs. Actua excludes the effect of impairment related and other costs, which primarily include impairment charges, revaluation of contingent consideration, restructuring and severance fees, settlement costs and other one-time costs, because Actua does not consider them part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business and believes it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on Actua’s operations.

• Transaction expenses. Actua excludes the effect of acquisition related expenses because Actua does not consider them part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business and believes it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on Actua’s operations.

Actua excludes the effect of other income (loss), net, which primarily includes transaction-driven gains and losses, as well as certain foreign currency impacts, because Actua does not consider them part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business and believes it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on Actua’s operations.

• Acquired businesses’ deferred revenue. Actua includes acquired businesses’ previously deferred revenues that are not recognized under GAAP because Actua considers them a part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business and believes it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on its operations.

• Impact of non-cash income tax benefit items. Actua excludes the impact of any non-cash income tax benefit items as Actua believes it is useful for investors to understand the effect of this item and does not consider them a part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business.

• (Loss) income from discontinued operations. Actua excludes the income (loss) from discontinued operations as Actua believes it is useful for investors to understand the effect of these items for all periods presented as Actua does not consider them a part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business.

• Impact of non-controlling interest (NCI) for discontinued operations. Actua does not own 100% of the discontinued operations presented. Therefore, Actua excludes the impact of the NCI for discontinued operations as Actua believes it is useful for investors to understand the effect of this item for all periods presented as compared to what has historically been provided as Actua does not consider it a part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share is calculated as follows:

• Non-GAAP net income (loss) (as defined above) is the numerator.

• Shares used in calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. For periods where GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) are both losses, Actua uses the same number of shares used to calculate GAAP and non-GAAP net loss per share. For periods where GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) are both income, Actua uses the same number of shares used to calculate GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. For periods where GAAP net income (loss) is a loss but non-GAAP net income (loss) is income, Actua includes the impact of incremental dilutive securities for the period to determine non-GAAP net income per diluted share. For periods where GAAP net income (loss) is income but non-GAAP net income (loss) is a loss, Actua excludes the impact of incremental dilutive securities for the period to determine non-GAAP net loss per diluted share.

Actua believes that the following considerations apply to the non-GAAP financial measures that it presents:

• Actua’s management uses non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted sales and marketing, adjusted general and administrative, adjusted research and development and non-GAAP cash flows from operations in internal reports used by management in monitoring and making decisions regarding Actua’s business, including in monthly financial reports prepared for management and in periodic reports to Actua’s Board of Directors.

• An important limitation of Actua’s non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude expenses or cash flows, some of which may be significant, that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges to exclude in the non-GAAP financial measures.

To mitigate the limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures, Actua reconciles its non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures and recommends that investors and potential investors do not give undue weight to its non-GAAP financial measures.
