Website Pros Reports Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results
JACKSONVILLE, FL – November 7, 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 September 30, 2006.
Total revenue for the third quarter was $12 million, an increase of 19% on a year-over-year basis. The company generated a record non-GAAP operating margin of 12% and non-GAAP EPS of $0.11, an increase of 83% on a year-over-year basis.
David Brown, President and CEO of Website Pros, stated, “Total revenue for the quarter came in below our expectations. However, as a result of our ongoing revenue enhancement strategies including the price increase that we instituted during the quarter, we continued to experience solid sequential and year-over-year growth in our subscription revenue. Further, we are encouraged that the scalability of our business model enabled us to meet our earnings objectives during the quarter.
Brown added, “During the third quarter, sales headcount and net new subscriber additions were lower than anticipated. We have since resumed sales headcount growth and expect to add a meaningful number of sales reps in the fourth quarter. Productivity levels have been improving and we are optimistic that we are back on track in this regard. The combination of sales headcount growth and improved productivity levels should position us to restore growth in subscriber additions.”
“We continue to expect year-over-year revenue growth for the year ending December 31, 2006 of approximately 30% in our core business and over 35% including the revenue associated with the recently completed acquisitions. We also believe that our earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 2006 will at least meet our prior estimates, and we remain confident with our earnings momentum given our corrective actions as well as the recently completed asset acquisitions of Renovation Experts.com (“Renex”) and 1ShoppingCart.com,” Brown concluded.
Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2006
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was $12 million, an increase of 19% on a year-over-year basis. For the third quarter of 2006, subscription revenue increased 27% to $11.3 million, license revenue decreased 46% to $442 thousand, and professional services revenue decreased 15% to $325 thousand, compared to the third quarter of 2005.
For the third quarter of 2006, the Company reported net income available to common stockholders, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), of $1.4 million, an increase from a loss of $322 thousand in the third quarter of 2005. Fully diluted GAAP earnings per share were $0.07 for the third quarter of 2006, an increase from a loss of $0.06 per share in the third quarter of 2005. Per share amounts are based on weighted average fully diluted shares of 19.3 million and 5.4 million for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2006
Website Pros reported non-GAAP net income of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of over 150% as compared to $805 thousand in the third quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.11 for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 83% from $0.06 in the third quarter of 2005.
All per share numbers for non-GAAP net income per share are expressed on a weighted average diluted per share basis. Non-GAAP net income excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense related to acquisitions. 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.”

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.
