Sunnyvale, Calif. – January 27, 2011 –TeleNav, Inc. (NASDAQ:TNAV), one of the largest global wireless location-based services providers, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended December 31, 2010.
Financial Highlights
| • | | Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 grew 19 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to $48.0 million. |
| • | | Average monthly paying end users for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 54 percent over the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to 19.6 million. |
| • | | Revenue from automotive, enterprise LBS, mobile advertising and commerce and premium LBS was seven percent of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, up from approximately six percent of total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. |
| • | | Cash generated from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $28.5 million. |
“We have continued to substantially increase the number of our paying end users and we have also grown revenue outside of our core navigation services,” said HP Jin, president, CEO and co-founder of TeleNav. “Revenue from our strategic growth areas: automotive, enterprise LBS, and mobile advertising and commerce and premium LBS grew both in absolute dollars and as a percent of revenue, comprising more than seven percent of our total revenue in the December quarter.”
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $48.0 million, compared to revenue of $40.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 reflects the first full quarter impact of the September 2010 amended Sprint agreement.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $10.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $10.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $10.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Non-GAAP net income excludes stock-based compensation expense net of the related tax effect.
As part of its $20 million stock repurchase plan authorized in November 2010, TeleNav repurchased a total of 328,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate cost of $2.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
“We generated cash from operations of $28.5 million and increased our cash, cash equivalents and short term investments to $155.7 million in the December quarter,” said Douglas Miller, chief financial officer of TeleNav. “Our strong balance sheet, large and growing subscriber base and continued investment in our strategic growth areas beyond our core navigation services helps position us to grow quarterly revenue for the remainder of fiscal 2011.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
TeleNav prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the United States, or GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures such as net income and earnings per share information included in this press release are different from those otherwise presented under GAAP. The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity incentive awards granted to our employees, directors, and consultants. Stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be a significant recurring non-cash expense for TeleNav. While we include the dilutive impact of such equity awards in weighted average shares outstanding, the expense associated with stock-based awards reflects a non-cash charge that we exclude from non-GAAP net income.
Our non-GAAP tax rate differs from the GAAP tax rate due to the elimination of the tax effect of the GAAP stock compensation expenses that are being eliminated to arrive at the non-GAAP expenses.
The shares used to compute non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share for fiscal 2010 include the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock using the as-if converted method as of the beginning of each period presented or the date of issuance, if later. In May 2010, in conjunction with the closing of our initial public offering, all of our outstanding preferred stock was converted into shares of our common stock.
TeleNav has provided these measures in addition to GAAP financial results because management believes these non-GAAP measures help provide a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and fiscal year growth rates that are not influenced by certain non-cash charges and therefore are helpful in understanding TeleNav’s underlying operating results. These non-GAAP measures are some of the primary measures TeleNav’s management uses for planning and forecasting. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to information provided by other companies. Reconciliations of the GAAP to non-GAAP results are presented at the end of this press release.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on TeleNav’s management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning TeleNav’s anticipated or assumed future financial results, shares outstanding and anticipated business activities. Actual events or results may differ materially from those described in this document due to a number of risks and uncertainties. These potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, fluctuations in TeleNav’s quarterly and annual operating results; TeleNav’s dependence on Sprint and AT&T for a substantial majority of its revenue; changes in the contractual relationships with Sprint, AT&T and other wireless carriers to whom TeleNav provides services, competition from other market participants who may provide comparable services to subscribers without charge; TeleNav’s inexperience in the automotive navigation market; TeleNav’s ability to offer premium services successfully; TeleNav’s inexperience in the mobile advertising market; TeleNav’s ability to estimate and sustain or increase its revenue and profitability; TeleNav’s ability to attract, migrate and retain new wireless carriers and auto manufacturers and automotive equipment suppliers; TeleNav’s ability to issue new releases of its products and services and expand its product portfolio; changes to current accounting standards which may have a significant, adverse impact upon TeleNav’s financial results; the introduction of new products by competitors or the entry of new competitors into the markets for TeleNav’s services and products; the impact of current or future intellectual property litigation and claims for indemnification and litigation related to U.S securities laws and economic and political conditions in the US and abroad. We discuss these risks in greater detail in “Risk factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date made. You should review our SEC filings carefully and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.
Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
