JACKSONVILLE, FL – August 3, 2006 — Website Pros, Inc. (Nasdaq: WSPI), a leading provider of Web services and online marketing for small and medium-sized businesses, today announced results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
David Brown, President and CEO of Website Pros, stated “We were pleased with the company’s performance in the second quarter, which was highlighted by an acceleration in the sequential growth in our subscription revenue and better-than-expected profitability. We are encouraged by the continued early success of our new sales programs and the growing diversity of our partner channel.”
Brown added, “Demand for our comprehensive web services remains strong. We believe we continue to be uniquely positioned to help small and medium sized businesses realize the benefits of a high quality online presence and Internet marketing based on our domain expertise and hosted solutions that are low cost, quick to deploy and functionally robust.”
Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2006
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2006 was $12.0 million, an increase of 32% on a year-over-year basis. For the second quarter of 2006, subscription revenue increased 31% to $10.7 million, license revenue increased 26% to $884 thousand, and professional services revenue increased 58% to $503 thousand, compared to the second quarter of 2005.
For the second quarter of 2006, the Company reported net income, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), of $1.4 million, an increase from a loss of $112 thousand in the second quarter of 2005. Fully diluted GAAP earnings per share was $0.07 for the second quarter of 2006, compared to a loss of $0.10 per share in the second quarter of 2005. Per share amounts are based on weighted average fully diluted shares of 19.3 million and 4.7 million for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2006
Website Pros reported non-GAAP net income of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $378 thousand in the second quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.10 for the second quarter of 2006, an increase from $0.03 in the second quarter of 2005.
All per share numbers for non-GAAP net income per share are expressed on a weighted average diluted share basis. Preferred dividends are excluded from non-GAAP net income per share in prior periods, as all outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock and all related accrued dividends were eliminated in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, which was completed on November 7, 2005.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in the press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Kevin Carney, CFO of Website Pros, commented, “The strength of our second quarter results, and in particular our record non-GAAP profitability, demonstrates the scalability of our business model. For the first time in the company’s history, our non-GAAP operating margin was greater than 10%. Our strong competitive position, value proposition and current momentum gives us confidence that we can continue increasing our profitability margins in 2006 and beyond.”
Other Quarterly Highlights
The Company also had the following other financial and operating highlights for the quarter:
| • | | The Company added approximately 3,100 net subscribers to its eWorks!XL, SmartClicks and Visibility Online services, increasing total subscribers to over 58,000 at the end of the quarter. |
| • | | The Company’s monthly customer turnover remained at 5.6%, which was down from 6.4% in the second quarter of 2005. Trailing twelve month customer turnover reached a record low of 5.7% versus 6.3% in the second quarter of 2005. |
| • | | The Company continued to increase the diversification of its distribution model with the addition of Verio and CardService International as partners. |
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 (loss) 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.
