Innodata Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2014 Results
NEW YORK – February 24, 2015 – INNODATA INC. (NASDAQ: INOD) today reported results for the fourth quarter and the 12 months ended December 31, 2014.
| · | Total revenue was $15.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a 7% sequential increase from $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 and a 3% increase from $15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Revenue in the third and fourth quarters of 2014 includes $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, attributable to MediaMiser, a company that Innodata acquired in July 2014. |
| · | Net loss was $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, or $(0.01) per diluted share. Net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. |
| · | Total revenue for the 12 months ended December 31, 2014 was $59.1 million, an 8% decline from $64.2 million in 2013. Net loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2014 was $1.0 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, which included an impairment charge of $0.4 million resulting primarily from the consolidation of two India-based production facilities. The net loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013 was $10.6 million, or $(0.43) per diluted share, which included an impairment charge of $5.5 million in respect of assets held by the Company’s IADS segment and a valuation allowance of $7.1 million in respect of the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets. |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) was $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended December 31, 2014 was $3.0 million, an increase of $0.6 million from $2.4 million for the same period in 2013. |
| · | Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $24.2 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $26.0 million at September 30, 2014. |
Jack Abuhoff, Chairman and CEO, said, “All three of our reporting segments contributed to our 7% sequential Q4 revenue increase. Our Q4 revenue exceeded the high end of our guidance by $0.4 million because to accommodate publishers who were seeking to broaden their digital offerings in time for holiday sales we accelerated to Q4 work that we had scheduled for Q1 2015.”
Abuhoff continued, “In our IADS segment, we successfully launched our Synodex 3.0 solution in November with a new life insurance client. We are cautiously optimistic that we will expand services for a major reinsurance company within the next month or two, and we are actively negotiating several other contracts with new Synodex clients.
“In our Media Intelligence Solutions segment we acquired Bulldog Reporter, a brand that is well regarded in the PR community for its highly coveted awards program and for its media contact guides, journalist database and special reports. We believe the assets we acquired will enable us to accelerate MediaMiser’s expansion from Canada into the U.S.”
Abuhoff concluded, "We anticipate first quarter 2015 revenue to be in the range of $13.5-14.5 million, consisting of Content Services revenue in the range of $12.2-13.0 million, Media Intelligence Solutions revenue in the range of $1.0-1.1 million and IADS revenue in the range of $0.3-0.4 million, and we anticipate a pre-tax loss in the first quarter of 2015 in the range of $1.8-2.1 million plus cap-ex for our IADS segment that we expense through our income statement. We expect the reduction in first quarter Content Services revenue because of several projects that were completed in Q4 2014, a decrease in Q1 eBook volume corresponding to the volume that we pushed forward into Q4 to accommodate publishers, and the depreciation of the Euro and Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. However, we anticipate that second quarter revenue will increase as IADS revenue continues to build, eBook revenues re-align with our forecasts and several new Content Services engagements commence.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include references to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Innodata Inc. and subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP before income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, loss attributable to non-controlling interests and interest income (expense). We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to our management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. In particular, it facilitates comparisons of the core operating performance of our company from period to period on a consistent basis and helps us identify underlying trends in our business. We believe it provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in our financial and operational decision making. We use this measure to establish operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| · | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments, and such payments reflect a reduction in cash available to us; |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or for our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA excludes the potential dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense related to our workforce, interest income (expense) and net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, and these items may represent a reduction or increase in cash available to us; |
| · | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; and |
| · | Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.
A reconciliation from net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is attached to this release.
