Website Pros Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2007 Financial Results
Company Raises 2008 Full-Year Revenue and Profitability Outlook
JACKSONVILLE, FL — February 12, 2008 — Website Pros, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSPI), a leading provider of Web and marketing services for small and medium-sized businesses, today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 and full-year 2007. The fourth-quarter financial results discussed below reflect for the first time the operating results, including merger related costs, of Web.com which was acquired on September 30, 2007.
Summary of Fourth Quarter 2007 Results:
· Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 was a record $30.9 million, an increase of 89% compared to $16.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. As a result of fair value adjustments to Web.com’s deferred revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for purchase accounting, Website Pros is unable to recognize approximately $0.4 million of revenue for the fourth quarter that would have been recorded by Web.com as revenue had the acquisition not occurred. Had the company been permitted to recognize this revenue, total revenue would have been $31.3 million.
· GAAP operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $0.6 million, compared to GAAP operating income of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, reflecting an increase in non-cash expenses for amortization of intangibles and stock compensation of $2.5 million, due to the Web.com merger, as compared to the prior year.
· GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $0.2 million compared to GAAP net income of $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, reflecting an increase in pre-tax non-cash expenses for amortization of intangibles and stock compensation of $2.5 million and an income tax benefit of $3.2 million in the prior year period. GAAP net loss per diluted share was $0.01 per share for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.25 per share year-over-year.
· Non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter was a record $3.5 million, representing an increase of 57% compared to $2.2 million year-over-year.
· Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was a record $3.8 million, an increase of 38% as compared to $2.7 million year-over-year.
· Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter was $0.13, compared to $0.14 year-over-year.
“The fourth quarter and year end results were highlighted by the addition of Web.com and continued strong non-GAAP net income, marking the 10th consecutive quarter that operating results have met or exceeded our guidance,” stated David Brown, Chairman and CEO of Website Pros. “During the quarter, Website Pros successfully ramped up integration efforts with Web.com, including the exploration of several new revenue-generating and cost savings opportunities. As a result of the progress we made during the fourth quarter, we now expect the merger to be accretive to our non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the first half of 2008 as opposed to later in the year as we have previously stated. Entering 2008, we continue to feel that we are the market leader, well-positioned to provide small and medium-sized businesses with an array of Web and marketing services designed to enhance their business.”
Other Highlights:
· Website Pros’ total net subscribers were approximately 263,000 at the end of the fourth quarter, up from approximately 255,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2007 on a combined pro-forma basis.
· Churn was 4.0%, down from 4.1% in the previous quarter on a combined pro-forma basis.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the measures in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the SEC Regulation G. Website Pros believes presenting non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP net income per share attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP operating margin is useful to investors, because it describes the operating performance of the company and helps investors gauge the company’s ability to generate cash flow, excluding some recurring charges that are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures as important indicators of the company’s past performance and to plan and forecast performance in future periods. The non-GAAP financial information Website Pros presents may not be comparable to similarly-titled financial measures used by other companies, and investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or in substitution for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP.
