Care.com Announces First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Strong Growth Drives Breakeven Operating Income for Combined US Matching and Payments in Q1 2015

Waltham, MA - May 12, 2015 - Care.com, Inc. (NYSE: CRCM), the world's largest online destination for finding and managing family care, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 28, 2015.

“We are making excellent progress growing our business while achieving sales and marketing leverage and optimizing our products. We believe we are on track to meet our expectations of achieving overall adjusted EBITDA profitability by the end of fiscal 2016, driven by our US Matching and Payments businesses, which combined were breakeven on Operating Income and profitable on adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2015 for the second quarter in a row,” said Sheila Lirio Marcelo, Founder, Chairwoman, and CEO of Care.com. “We are executing well against the strategic priorities outlined early in the year and believe we have the right strategies in place to reach our growth and profitability goals.”

Highlights

• First quarter consolidated revenue was $35.1 million, an increase of 39% over the first quarter of 2014. Organic revenue, which excludes revenue from Citrus Lane, a company we acquired in Q3 2014, grew 27%, while we kept organic sales and marketing expenses roughly flat. As compared to the first quarter of 2014, this led to a 17 percentage point reduction in organic sales and marketing expenses as a percent of revenue.

• First quarter net loss was $12.0 million, as compared to a net loss of $15.5 million in the first quarter 2014. This represents margin improvement of 27 percentage points. Excluding the impact of Citrus Lane, net margin improvement was 31 percentage points.

• On an adjusted EBITDA basis for the consolidated business, the first quarter 2015 loss was $7.1 million - which exceeded our Q1 guidance of a loss of $8.2 million to $7.6 million. This compares to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.6 million in first quarter of 2014. The resulting margin improvement was 18 percentage points. Excluding the impact of Citrus Lane, adjusted EBITDA margin improvement was 21 percentage points.

• Our combined US Matching and Payments businesses, which represented 80% of revenue in Q1, were breakeven from an operating loss perspective, and were profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis, with a combined margin of 5%, up 19 percentage points from negative 14% in Q1 2014. This was driven by our having decreased direct marketing for the US Matching and Payments businesses by 15% and TV spending by 30%.

Financial Results

• Revenue for the first quarter was $35.1 million, compared to $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2014.

◦ Revenue from Citrus Lane, which we acquired in Q3 2014, totaled $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2015.

• GAAP net loss for the first quarter was $12.0 million, compared to a net loss of $15.5 million in the first quarter of 2014.

• Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $7.1 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2014.

• GAAP EPS was $(0.38) in the first quarter compared to $(0.71) in the first quarter 2014. Q1 GAAP EPS was based on 31.8 million weighted average basic shares outstanding versus 21.9 million shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2014.

• Non-GAAP EPS was $(0.33) in the first quarter. Non-GAAP EPS excludes the impact of non-cash stock based compensation and non-recurring items, such as M&A expenses.

• The Company ended the quarter with $62.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.

◦ First quarter 2015 Payments members grew to over 15,400, a 25% increase vs. the first quarter of 2014.

Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated profitability of our business in 2016 on an adjusted EBITDA basis and the Company’s financial guidance for the second quarter of 2015 and full year 2015.

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date they were first issued and were based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. Words such as "expect," "anticipate," "should," "believe," "hope," "target," "project," "goals," "estimate," "potential," "predict," "may," "will," "might," "could," "intend," variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond the Company's control. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: our ability to grow our membership while leveraging our investment in sales and marketing, our success in converting non-paying members to paying members, our ability to cross-sell new and existing products and services to our members and to develop new products and services that members consider valuable, our ability to protect our brand and maintain our reputation among our members, and other risks detailed in the Company's other publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The forward-looking statements included in this press release represent the Company's views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. The Company undertakes no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures presented in the Company’s press release and related conference call or webcast in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we also present the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance: organic revenue and revenue growth; adjusted EBITDA, organic sales and marketing expenses; non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”).

A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of the Company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s financial statements. The Company provides certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to its operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of the Company’s liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare the Company’s performance to that of other companies.

The Company has presented: organic revenue and revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA, organic sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. We define organic revenue as total revenue excluding Citrus Lane revenue. We define organic revenue growth as revenue growth excluding Citrus Lane. We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss, plus: federal, state and franchise taxes, other expense (income), net, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, accretion of contingent consideration, merger and acquisition related costs and other unusual or non-cash significant adjustments, such as impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which is based on the Company's estimate of the useful life of tangible and intangible assets. We define organic sales and marketing expenses as those expenses excluding Citrus Lane. We define non-GAAP net loss as net loss, plus stock-based compensation, accretion of contingent consideration, merger and acquisition related costs and other unusual or non-cash significant adjustments. We define non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted basic shares outstanding.

The Company believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of the Company's core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation. Care.com’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the Company’s business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results, and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company’s operating performance.
