Intermix Reports Record Fourth-Quarter and Fiscal Year 2005 Revenue
Q4 and Fiscal Year Revenues Grow by 68% and 49% Respectively
LOS ANGELES, June 14, 2005 – Intermix Media, Inc. (AMEX: MIX), today reported record revenue of $24.1 million for its fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of 68 percent from $14.4 million for the same quarter last year. Revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 were $79 million, compared to $52.9 million for the same period last year.
The Company reported a net loss of $409,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million in the same period last year. Fourth-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”) were $476,000, compared to a loss of $3.5 million in the same period last year. Net income and EBITDA for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2005 reflect a gain of $6.3 million in connection with the MySpace, Inc. transaction completed in February 2005, and a $6.9 million reserve established in connection with pending litigation by the Office of the New York Attorney General.
Net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 was $4.5 million, compared to a net loss of $13.1 million in the prior year. EBITDA for the year was $7.6 million, compared to a loss of $8.4 million in the same period last year. Net income and EBITDA for fiscal year 2005 reflect $5.3 million in gains arising from sale of assets and extinguishment of debt in the Company’s second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, as well as the fourth quarter items noted above.
Product marketing segment revenues for the fourth quarter increased 71 percent to $14.1 million, from $8.3 million for the same quarter last year. This increase is primarily due to greater sales of the Hydrodermtm, Body Shapetm, and Dream Shapetm product lines at the Company’s Alena business unit.
Network segment revenues for the fourth quarter increased 63 percent to $10 million, up from $6.1 million for the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to higher performance-based and branded advertising revenues.
“We are very pleased that we are able to execute on our goals of continued revenue and EBITDA growth, while significantly strengthening our overall media properties and marketing technologies,” stated Richard Rosenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Intermix. “Through innovative marketing, unique content, and cutting edge technologies we were able to significantly grow both segments of our business. With a network of over 27 million monthly users and in excess of 7.5 billion page views per month, we believe we have enormous untapped opportunities.”
Business Growth and Investments
The continued focus of Intermix and its subsidiaries on infrastructure and growth in the most recent quarter resulted in significant progress in both segments of the business. Company highlights include:
| • | | Completion of an investment in MySpace Inc. by Redpoint Ventures. The $5 million in financing proceeds received by MySpace, Inc. a newly formed, majority-owned subsidiary of Intermix Media, is expected to facilitate continued growth of the business. |
| • | | MySpace.com receiving over 15.5 million unique visitors during the month of May 2005, according to comScore Media Metrix. MySpace received more than 7.5 billion page views in the month of May, making it the fifth largest domain in the U.S. according to comScore Media Metrix. MySpace is making significant capital investments in network infrastructure and substantial expenditures in connection with the recruitment and addition of technical, sales and other personnel to support and foster the anticipated continued growth of MySpace.com |
| • | | Significant expansion of Grab.com’s content offerings to include movies, cartoons, pets and humor content. According to comScore Media Metrix, Grab.com received more than 2.9 million unique visitors during the month of May 2005. |
| • | | Investment of more than $2.5 million in computer hardware and software in the fourth quarter to further strengthen the Company’s infrastructure. |
| • | | The Company being slated for addition to the Russell 3000® and Russell Microcap™ Indices, expected to be effective as of June 24, 2005. |
Fiscal year 2006 Outlook
Intermix raised its forecast of fiscal year 2006 revenues to $118 million, from a previously forecasted range of $112 million to $115 million which represents an increase of approximately 49 percent over fiscal year 2005 results. The Company’s forecast of net income for fiscal year 2006 remains approximately $8.2 million, with EBITDA now forecasted to be approximately $15.3 million, up from a previous forecast of $12 million. The increase in forecasted revenues is not expected to change previously forecasted net income due to expected increases in income taxes, interest and amortization expenses in connection with the establishment of MySpace, Inc. as a majority-owned subsidiary. The Company’s fiscal year 2006 forecasts reflect approximately $2 million in costs related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, ending June 30, 2005, the Company is forecasting revenues of between $25 million and $26 million, which represents an increase of approximately 50 percent to 56 percent over the same quarter last fiscal year, and the Company expects net income to be approximately break even, with EBITDA forecasted to be approximately $1.3 million. First-quarter 2006 forecasted results reflect approximately $600,000 in costs related to the Company’s fiscal year 2005 audit and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Intermix will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss the Company’s fourth-quarter 2005 financial results, as well as provide a general business update on Tuesday, June 14, 2005, at 4:30 p.m. EST (1:30 p.m. PST).

Note 1 | | Amounts represent 6 percent per annum accretion of the liquidation preference related to the Company’s Series A preferred stock, as well as the accrual of payment-in-kind dividends related to the Company’s Series C and Series C-1 preferred stock. The accrual of dividends related to Series C preferred stock terminated as of October 31, 2004 in accordance with the terms of such preferred stock. The accrual of dividends related to Series C-1 preferred stock will continue through September 30, 2005 and totals approximately $50,000 per quarter. |
Note 2 | | In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached final consensus on EITF 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128,” which requires companies that have participating securities to allocate undistributed earnings to common shares and participating securities based on the proportion of undistributed earnings that each would have been entitled to had all the period’s earnings been distributed. The Company’s Series A, B and C preferred stock are participating securities as defined in EITF 03-6, in that such preferred stock would be entitled to either liquidation proceeds in preference to common stockholder or dividends in preference to common stockholders, if and when such a dividend would be declared. Both liquidation preference and preferred dividends would be in accordance with predetermined formulas. EITF 03-6 was effective for fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004 and earnings per share reported in prior periods must be retroactively adjusted to comply with EITF 03-6. The Company adopted EITF 03-6 in the quarter ended September 30, 2004. EITF 03-6 had no impact on prior year per share amounts because of the net losses for the prior periods. |

Note (1) - EBITDA included in this press release is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as net income excluding the effects of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses; and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. EBITDA as defined above may not be similar to EBITDA measures used by other companies and are not measurements under generally accepted accounting principles.
We believe that EBITDA provide useful information to investors about the Company’s performance because they eliminate the effects of period to period changes in costs associated with capital investments, impairment of assets related to those investments and interest on debt and capital lease obligations that we do not believe are reflective of the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations. Management uses EBITDA in evaluating the overall performance of the Company’s business operations.
Although management finds EBITDA useful for evaluating aspects of the Company’s business, its reliance on this measure is limited because the excluded items often have a material effect on the Company’s earnings and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management always uses EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP earnings and earnings per share measures. The Company believes that EBITDA provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the Company’s core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of performance, and a base line for assessing the future earnings potential of the Company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the Company provides investors with this supplemental metric since, with reconciliation to GAAP, it may allow for greater insight into the Company’s financial results.
