AVG Reports First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Subscription revenue increases 19%, GAAP diluted EPS is $0.34 and non-GAAP diluted EPS is $0.56; Reiterates Fiscal 2014 Outlook
AMSTERDAM, May 7, 2014— AVG Technologies N.V. (NYSE: AVG), the online security company for 187 million active users, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Subscription revenue increased 19% over the same period one year ago to $67.3 million. The increase in subscription revenue was the result of growth in both the consumer and SMB segments of the business. Platform-derived revenue decreased 45% over the same period one year ago to $26.3 million. The decrease in platform revenue was primarily related to the implementation of Google guideline changes and the exit from the third party search distribution business. As a result, total revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $93.5 million as compared to $104.7 million in the first quarter of 2013.
GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $17.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted ordinary share. This compares with net income of $24.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted ordinary share in the prior year’s first quarter.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $30.0 million, or $0.56 per diluted ordinary share. This compares with non-GAAP adjusted net income of $31.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted ordinary share for the same period of the prior year1.
Non-GAAP free cash flow was $30.0 million for the quarter, compared with $39.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Operating cash flow was $32.7 million for the quarter, compared with $43.3 million for the same period in the prior year.
"Our first quarter was a good start to what we expect will be an important strategic year for AVG,the online security company," commented Gary Kovacs, CEO of AVG. ”We executed effectively on the key financial metrics and operating initiatives in the first quarter, while growing active users to 187 million and mobile users to 81 million. Importantly, we released a major application, AVG Zen, which provides a simple approach for the discovery and deployment of products and services across connected devices. We are highly optimistic about AVG’s future in the important and growing market for online security."
Financial Outlook
Based on information available as of May 7, 2014, AVG is maintaining its outlook for fiscal year 2014 as follows:
| · | Revenue is expected to be in the range of $365 million to $405 million. |
| · | Non-GAAP adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $96 million to $112 million; non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.80 to $2.10. |
| · | GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $54 million to $70 million; GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.30. |
1Non-GAAP results for the first quarter of 2014 exclude $2.8 million in share based compensation expense, $4.3 million in acquisition amortization and $2.6 million in restructuring, legal and other charges, together with a $2.4 million adjustment to normalize to a tax rate of 12.5%, as described in the Reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures.
AVG’s expectation of non-GAAP adjusted net income for fiscal year 2014 excludes share-based compensation expense, acquisition amortization, rationalization and other charges, and assumes a normalized tax rate of 12.5%. For the purpose of calculating diluted EPS and non-GAAP diluted EPS, the Company assumes approximately 53.5 million weighted-average diluted ordinary shares outstanding for fiscal year 2014.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures provide additional information on the performance or liquidity of our business and so we believe are useful for investors.
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted ordinary share, free cash flow and their related ratios are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered alternatives to the applicable U.S. GAAP measures. In particular, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted ordinary share, free cash flow, and their related ratios, should not be considered as measurements of our financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP, as alternatives to income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted ordinary share and free cash flow are measures of financial performance or liquidity and have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, analysis of our results of operations, including our operating income and cash flows, as reported under U.S. GAAP. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that such measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors about the Company’s core operating results and liquidity, primarily because the non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain expenses and other amounts that management does not consider to be indicative of the Company’s core operating results or business outlook or liquidity. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the Company’s operating performance, in planning and forecasting future periods, in making decisions regarding business operations and allocation of resources, and in comparing the Company’s performance against its historical performance. Some of the limitations of adjusted net income and free cash flow and their related ratios as measures are:
| · | they do not reflect our cash expenditure or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments, nor do they reflect the actual cash contributions received from customers; |
| · | they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| · | although amortization and share-based compensation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
| · | other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures |
Because of these limitations, investors should rely on AVG’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and treat the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information only.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures”. All non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the comparable information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Previously, active users are those that (i) have downloaded and installed our free software on a PC and have connected to our server at least twice, including at least once in the preceding 30-day period, (ii) represent a unique mobile device, which has installed one or more of our mobile applications, from which at least one application has contacted our server twice in the preceding 30-day period (with at least 24 hours between the first and second contact), (iii) have a valid subscription license for our software solutions or (iv) represent a unique device using our secure search solution that has made at least one secure search in the preceding 30-day period. The changes as outlined above had an immaterial impact on PC users and led to an increase in the net number of mobile users of 2.4 million as of March 31, 2014. The presented comparative active user numbers are based on the previous definition of active users. |

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation and Business
Organization and basis of presentation
AVG Technologies N.V. (“the Company”) is a limited liability company (“Naamloze Vennootschap”) incorporated under Dutch law by deed of incorporation dated March 3, 2011, then under the name AVG Holding Coöperatief U.A. The Company began trading on February 2, 2012 on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AVG.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial results and position of the Company and of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “AVG”).
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, AVG believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2014 and results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, statement of shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.
Business
AVG is primarily engaged in the development and sale of online service solutions and internet security software branded under the AVG name.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had the same direct and indirect subsidiaries as described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2013, except for OpenInstall, Inc. and AVG Exploit Prevention Labs, Inc., which both merged with AVG Technologies USA Inc. as of January 1, 2014.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in AVG’s significant accounting policies for the year ended March 31, 2014 as compared with the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2013, except for the adoption of a new accounting policy as described below.
Segment reporting
Prior to January 1, 2014, the Company’s internal management financial reporting consisted of one operating and reportable segment. As a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to the revenue generated by the release of the SMB CloudCare offering and the acquisition of the AVG Managed Workplace product and operations in Canada in 2013, AVG’s Chief Executive officer and Chief Financial officer, together the chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), concluded to change the internal financial information effective in January 2014. The internal financial information is presented in two segments: SMB and Consumer. The two business segments reflect how the Company’s operations are managed, how operating performance within the Company is evaluated by senior management and the structure of its internal financial reporting beginning in January 2014.
Any costs incurred that are directly applicable to the segments are allocated to the appropriate segment. In addition, certain costs incurred at a corporate level that are identifiable and that benefit our segments are allocated to them. These allocated costs include costs of shared research and development facilities, shared IT infrastructure, and shared central brand and public relations activities. Certain other corporate costs not directly applicable to the segments are identified as “unallocated” costs and represent general corporate costs that are applicable to the consolidated group, including but not limited to; legal, tax, and corporate reporting and are therefore not allocated to the two reportable segments. All “unallocated” costs reported are not included in the CODM’s evaluation of the operating income performance of the two reportable segments.
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on revenue and adjusted operating income. In addition to the “unallocated” noted above, the Company excludes certain charges such as share-based compensation, acquisition amortization, and one time charges that affect comparability from operating income for segment purposes as these items are not reflective of normal continuing operations of the segments. The Company excludes these items as segment operating performance and segment management compensation is evaluated based upon a normalized segment operating income. As such, the performance measures for incentive compensation purposes for segment management do not include the impact of these items.
The new operating structure provides the Company with visibility over the operations of the two businesses, to more effectively capitalize on market conditions and maximize revenue and profitability.
We have recast prior period amounts to conform to the way we internally managed and monitored segment performance during the current interim period.
The principal products and services offered by each segment are summarized below:
Consumer – The Company’s Consumer segment focuses on delivering simpleprivacy, protection and performance solutions for PCs, tablets and mobile devices for consumers. Consumer segment products include Anti-Virus and Internet Security, PC Optimization, Family Safety and are available across multiple devices including PCs, Android and Mac. In addition, we have a growing portfolio of Mobile applications including those aimed at optimizing performance, memory and allowing easy control over privacy settings.
SMB – The Company’s SMB segment focuses on delivering simpleprivacy, protection and performance solutions for across multiple devices for Small and Medium sized business customers. Products include AVG CloudCare (a cloud-services remote management platform incorporating services such as Anti-Virus, Content Filtering and Online Backup) and AVG Managed Workplace (a remote monitoring and IT management platform), allowing our partners to view and access their customers’ entire network environment.
Recent accounting pronouncements adopted as of January 1, 2014
Liabilities
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities – Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The main objective of this update is to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this ASU and did not identify a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Matters
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters. The main objective of this update is to provide guidance and conformity with respect to parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this ASU and did not identify a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes. The main objective of this update is to provide guidance with respect to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry forward exists. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted this ASU and did not identify a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Definition of a Public Business Entity
In December 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-12, Definition of a Public Business Entity. The main objective of this update is to provide a single definition of public business entity for future use in US GAAP. The amendment specifies that:
| - | An entity that is required by the SEC to file or furnish financial statements with the SEC, or does file or furnish financial statements with the SEC, is considered a public business entity. |
| - | A business entity that has securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer and that is by law, contract, or regulation required to prepare US GAAP financial statements and make them publicly available on a periodic basis is considered a public business entity. |
| - | A consolidated subsidiary of a public company is not considered a public business entity for purposes of its standalone financial statements. |
The Company is listed on a US stock exchange market and therefore required by the SEC to file its financial statements with the SEC and make public its financial statements on a periodic basis. Therefore, the Company meets the criteria of a public business entity. This conclusion does not change the conclusion made before this ASU was issued. This update has no impact to the Company’s financial statements.
Technical Corrections and Improvements Related to Glossary Terms
In March 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-06, Technical Corrections and Improvements Related to Glossary Terms. The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify the Master Glossary of the Codification, consolidate multiple instances of the same term into a single definition, or make minor improvements to the Master Glossary. The amendments in this update do not have transition guidance and were effective upon issuance (March 14, 2014). The Company adopted this ASU and did not identify a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Segment information
The Company manages its business in the segments Consumer and SMB, which reflects how the Company’s operations are managed, how operating performance within the Company is evaluated by senior management and the structure of its internal financial reporting.
The following table presents summarized information by segment and reconciliation from consolidated segment adjusted operating income to consolidated operating income:

| Other adjustments | | | (863 | ) | | | (2,567 | ) |
| Consolidated operating income | | | 32,298 | | | | 24,729 | |
The unallocated cost amounts in the table above include corporate-level activity not specifically attributed to a segment. US GAAP reconciling amounts in the table above include adjustments to conform our internal accounting policies to U.S. GAAP.
The Company does not evaluate assets and capital expenditures on a segment basis, and accordingly such information is not provided.

Note 7. Debt
Credit agreement
On April 25, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement with HSBC Bank plc, as mandated lead arranger and agent (the “credit agreement”). The credit agreement comprises a term loan facility of $25,000 (“Facility A”) and a $50,000 revolving credit facility (“Facility B”) together with an accordion that permits an increase in Facility B up to another $50,000 with the agreement of the lender(s). Facility A and Facility B were fully drawn and used to refinance existing facilities and thereafter they are planned to be used to finance the general corporate purposes of the Company.
Facility A was repaid in six equal monthly installments, with the first repayment on the date falling one month after the date of the credit agreement and the final repayment on the final maturity date, which was six months from the date of the credit agreement. Facility A bore an interest rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.5% and, if applicable, a mandated lead arranger rate, and was payable monthly in arrears.
Facility B has a final maturity date in three years and bears interest at a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.5%, subject to specified consolidated financial ratios, and, if applicable, a mandated lead arranger rate, and is payable in arrears. The standard interest periods agreed are one, two, three and six months or any other period upon acceptance by the lender(s).
The credit agreement contains financial covenants measured at the end of each quarter, including a covenant to maintain a specified consolidated leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.
Collateral to the credit agreement is certain property and equipment, intangible assets (IP rights), cash and cash equivalents, equity rights in certain subsidiaries and certain intercompany receivables of the Company with covenants obliging AVG to also pledge new assets according to the criteria set. Certain property and equipment with a carrying value of $7,421, intangible assets with a carrying value of $20,442 (Note 4), as well as cash and cash equivalents amounting to $23,209 have been pledged as collateral to the credit agreement as of March 31, 2014.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid $25,000 on Facility B. As of March 31, 2014, the mandatory principal payments under the credit agreement were as follows:
| 2014 | | $ | - | |
| 2015 | | | - | |
| 2016 | | | 5,000 | |
| Total | | $ | 5,000 | |
| | | | | |
At March 31, 2014, committed undrawn amounts available under the credit agreement were $45,000.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and reports its derivative instruments and contingent purchase consideration liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as an exit price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
| • | Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| | |
| • | Level 2: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| | |
| • | Level 3:Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis
The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:
| | | December 31, 2013 | |

| Total liabilities measured at fair value | | $ | - | | | $ | 4 | | | $ | 2,080 | | | $ | 2,084 | |
| (1) | Contract fair values are determined based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets using inputs such as currency rates and forward points. |
| (2) | The fair values of the contingent purchase consideration liabilities were determined for each arrangement individually. The fair value is determined using the income approach with significant inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions include discount rates consistent with the level of risk of achievement and probability adjusted financial projections. The expected outcomes are recorded at net present value, which requires adjustment over the life of the instruments for changes in risks and probabilities. |
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:
| | | Three months ended | |
| | | March 31, | |
| | | 2013 | | | 2014 | |
| | | | | | | |
| Fair value - begin of period | | $ | 3,395 | | | $ | 1,984 | |
| Additions due to acquisitions | | | 355 | | | | - | |
| Change in FV of Level 3 liabilities(3) | | | 815 | | | | 91 | |
| Effects of foreign currency exchange | | | - | | | | 5 | |
| Payment of contingent consideration | | | (175 | ) | | | - | |
| Fair value - end of period | | $ | 4,390 | | | $ | 2,080 | |
| (3) | The change in fair value of the contingent purchase consideration liabilities, which was included in general and administrative expenses, is due to the passage of time and changes in the probability of achievement used to develop the estimate |
Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis
There were no assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
Assets and liabilities for which fair value is only disclosed
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their respective fair values because of the short term nature of these accounts.
The carrying amount of long-term debt as of March 31, 2014 of $5,000 approximates its fair value. The valuation of long-term debt considers specific contractual terms, present value concepts and other internal assumptions related to (i) contract maturities; (ii) the uniqueness of the contract terms; and (iii) AVG’s creditworthiness or that of AVG’s counterparties (adjusted for collateral related to the asset positions). Based on internal calculations, AVG expects that the value will react in a generally proportionate manner to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Accordingly, the long-term debt is fair valued at par and is classified as Level 3.
The carrying amount of long-term debt as of December 31, 2013 of $30,000 approximated its fair value.

During the financial year 2012, the Company initiated the rationalization of the Company’s global operations, involving a wind down of its subsidiaries in Germany, China and Hong Kong, while their business activities were absorbed by other AVG entities. AVG completed the rationalization of operations during the second quarter of financial year 2013.

During the fourth quarter 2013, the Company decided to attempt to mitigate the impact of risks associated with the third party search distribution partnerships as well as the Google policy changes implemented earlier in 2013. These decisions resulted in making a controlled exit from the third party search distribution business as well as a realignment of our resources to mobile, cloud and partnerships throughout the industry. In addition, we initiated a further rationalization of our global operations, involving a transfer of business activities to other locations. As a result of these actions, positions were made redundant.
Restructuring related costs and change in estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $1,070. These restructuring costs included $115 atrributed to sales and marketing, $736 atrributed to research and development and $219 attributed to general and administrative.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease commitments
AVG leases its facilities and certain equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2022. Some of the leases contain renewal options, escalation clauses, rent concessions, and leasehold improvement incentives. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, adjusted for sublease income if applicable. Rent expense was $1,679 and $1,662 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
The following is a schedule by year of minimum future payments on non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2014:

Purchase obligations
The Company has purchase obligations that are associated with agreements for purchases of goods or services. Management believes that cancellation of these contracts is unlikely and thus the Company expects to make future cash payments according to the contract terms.
The following is a schedule by year of purchase obligations as of March 31, 2014:
| Remainder of financial year 2014 | | $ | 2,171 | |
| 2015 | | | 1,305 | |
| 2016 | | | 690 | |
| 2017 | | | - | |

| Total minimum future purchase obligations | | $ | 4,166 | |
Other commitments
In connection with AVG’s business combinations, AVG has agreed to pay certain additional amounts contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue targets and other milestones or upon the continued employment with AVG of certain employees of the acquired entities. AVG recognized such compensation expense of $2,097 and $1,333 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, AVG estimated that future compensation expense of up to $1,153 may be recognized as expense pursuant to these business combination agreements.
Litigation contingencies
On May 22, 2012, AVG received notification of a class action litigation relating to the design, sale and marketing of its AVG PC TuneUp software. This notification was amended on September 5, 2012 adding the Australian based provider as defendant. On August 14, 2013 the parties agreed to a settlement in principle and as a consequence AVG estimated and recorded a liability of $2,600. In relation to this, AVG also estimated and recorded a receivable of $1,000 from the Australian based provider. On January 14, 2014, AVG transferred $1,500 to an escrow account, and the Australian based provider contemporaneously transferred $1,000 on behalf of the claimant. The Court issued an order providing final approval of the settlement on behalf of the class on May 5, 2014.
In addition, AVG is involved in other legal proceedings, disputes and claims in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the final resolution of these lawsuits, disputes and claims individually, or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on AVG’s financial condition or results of operations.

Treasury shares
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased 500,845 ordinary shares through the share repurchase program described below and held these shares in treasury.
As at March 31, 2014 there were 2,057,995 shares held in treasury at a carrying value of $40,333.
Share repurchase program
The Company has entered into a conditional share repurchase program under which it intends to repurchase shares to cover obligations to deliver shares under its employee stock options incentive and restricted share units plans (Note 15). Under the share repurchase program the Company may, between May 9, 2013 and November 9, 2014, repurchase from time to time in both open market and privately negotiated transactions up to 4,000,000 ordinary shares. The share repurchase program may occur in tranches. The share repurchase program was authorized by the Company's shareholders on January 12, 2012 and approved by the Supervisory Board on May 7, 2013. On November 5, 2013, the Supervisory Board approved an increase of the maximum number of shares to be repurchased from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 to cover AVG's obligations to deliver shares under its employee stock options incentive and restricted share units plans.
Under the first tranche of the share repurchase program the Company had, up to November 5, 2013, repurchased in open market transactions 1,500,000 ordinary shares for a total consideration of $33,110 and a weighted average price per share of $22.07. Under the second tranche of the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 2,500,000 ordinary shares between November 13, 2013 and May 10, 2014. This arrangement does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be terminated at any time, except during closed periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased in open market transactions 500,845 ordinary shares for a total consideration of $8,247 and a weighted average price per share of $16.47
The following table summarizes the Company’s total share repurchases under this program:

Restricted share units
Restricted share units can only be granted to members of the Management Board of the Company and the Supervisory Board after prior approval of the general meeting of shareholders. Participants have no voting rights with respect to shares represented by restricted stock units until the date of the issuance of such shares. Participants may, if the Supervisory Board of the Company so determines, be credited with dividend equivalents paid with respect to shares underlying a restricted stock unit award. Dividend equivalents shall be forfeited in the event that the restricted share units with respect to which such dividend equivalents were credited are forfeited. Generally, the restricted share units vest based on 4 years of continuous service.
Share option, restricted stock unit and market restricted stock unit activity
As of March 31, 2014, total compensation cost related to unvested share options, restricted stock units and market restricted stock units granted to employees not yet recognized was $12,983 net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized to expense over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.99 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.
In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not grant options, restricted stock units or market restricted stock units.
Shares issued to the former owners of TuneUp
As part of the acquisition of TuneUp, the former owners of TuneUp were due to receive shares of AVG with, at acquisition date, a total fair value of €11.5 million subject to their continued employment with the Company and other vesting conditions.
On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into a modification to the original agreement with the former owners. As a result of this modification, the remaining unvested share-based compensation was accounted for as cash-settlement in the amount of €4.3 million ($5.7 million). The cash was settled in three installments that were due in January 2013, August 2013 and January 2014, for respectively €2.1 million, €1.1 million and €1.1 million.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, one of the former owners ceased employment, which triggered accelerated vesting under the modified terms of the award, and as a consequence, share-based compensation in the amount of €2.2 million or $2.9 million was expensed. In the first quarter of 2013, the second former owner ceased employment as well, hence the remaining share-based compensation in the amount of €2.0 million or $2.9 million was accelerated and expensed.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the Company recognized compensation expense of $3,133 (including an additional expense of $2,946 relating to the modification) and nil, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expenses. The Company has no further liabilities in relation to the cash-settlements as described above. All shares issuable to the former owners of TuneUp were issued on April 30, 2013.
Note 16. 401(k) Plans
The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) retirement savings plan for its U.S. employees. Each participant in the 401(k) retirement savings plan may elect to contribute a percentage of his or her annual compensation up to a specified maximum amount allowed under U.S. Internal Revenue Service regulations. The Company matches employee contributions to a maximum of 4% of the participant’s annual compensation. The Company contributed $111 and $140 during the three months ended 2013 and 2014, respectively.
For the non-US employees, the Company does not pay or reimburse pension premiums other than any applicable statutory national premiums for state pension.
Note 17. Income taxes
AVG recorded income tax expense of $5,793 (19.2 percent effective tax rate) and $6,729 (27.3 percent effective tax rate) in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
The effective tax rate increased in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the prior year centralization of all intellectual property to the Netherlands and the alignment of the intercompany transfer pricing methodology. Revenue is being deferred in the Netherlands, resulting in a decrease in domestic profits which is offset by additional gains in foreign jurisdictions that have higher tax rates.
Deferred tax assets are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred taxes are expected to be settled or realized. The enacted tax rates used for the recognition of the deferred tax assets decreased significantly as a result of the prior year centralization of intellectual property, while the enacted tax rate for deferred tax assets being realized did not change. As a consequence, there is an estimated increase of the income tax expense of $13,937 for the year end December 31,2014. .
An additional expected difference in the effective tax rates between 2013 and 2014 is a decrease in the valuation allowance expected in the current year due to expected income historical loss jurisdictions.
Note 18. Earnings per share
Basic earnings available to ordinary shareholders per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings available to ordinary shareholders per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period, plus potential ordinary shares considered outstanding during the period, as long as the inclusion of such shares is not anti-dilutive. Potential ordinary shares consist of the incremental ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of share options (using the treasury shares method). In the three months ended March 31, 2013 shares issuable upon subscription of AVG shares by TuneUp former owners (using the treasury shares method) were included in the number of potential ordinary shares.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per outstanding ordinary share:
| | | Three months ended | |
| | | March 31, | |
| Numerator: | | 2013 | | | 2014 | |
| Net income | | $ | 24,443 | | | $ | 17,943 | |
| Net income available to ordinary shareholders - basic | | $ | 24,443 | | | $ | 17,943 | |
| Net income available to ordinary shareholders – diluted | | $ | 24,443 | | | $ | 17,943 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Denominator: | | | | | | | | |
| Weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding – basic | | | 54,025,571 | | | | 52,842,926 | |
| Potential ordinary shares | | | 600,174 | | | | 334,563 | |
| Weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding – diluted | | | 54,625,745 | | | | 53,177,489 | |
| Earnings per ordinary share – basic | | $ | 0.45 | | | $ | 0.34 | |
| Earnings per ordinary share – diluted | | $ | 0.45 | | | $ | 0.34 | |
The following securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future have been excluded from the above computation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
