Eighth Straight Quarter of Sequential Revenue Growth Q3 revenue $58.8 million -- growth of 19% year-over-year

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Move, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOVE), the leader in online real estate, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 Highlights

  • Q3 Revenue increased 19% to $58.8 million
  • Consumer Advertising revenue increased 14% year-over-year to $45.6 million
  • Software and Services revenue increased 41% year-over-year to $13.2 million
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $8.0 million
  • Average monthly unique users of Move's web and mobile sites grew 22% year-over-year to over 28 million in the third quarter

"The third quarter was a strong quarter for Move, with both consumer advertising revenue and software and services revenue growing, resulting in our eighth straight quarter of sequential revenue growth," said Steve Berkowitz, CEO of Move.  "We are continuing to execute efficiently and effectively and will continue to capitalize on the market opportunity in front of us."

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Revenue for the quarter was $58.8 million, an increase of $9.4 million, or 19%, from $49.4 million in the third quarter of 2012.  Revenue from Consumer Advertising products increased 14% to $45.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.  Revenue from Software and Services products increased 41% to $13.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") was $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2013.  As a percentage of revenue, Adjusted EBITDA was 14% in the third quarter of 2013.  Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share was $0.11 per diluted share in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012.  Move has reported Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share because management uses it to monitor and assess the Company's performance and believes it is helpful to investors in understanding the Company's business.

Cash provided by operating activities was $10.5 million and $10.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Operating and Business Results

  • Following the National Association of Realtors® July vote to allow realtor.com® to further expand and enrich its content, realtor.com® added significant new content to its website and mobile web offerings including information on more than 48,000 new home plans and thousands of communities, over 30,000 rental properties, and thousands more for-sale listings.
  • Move completed a $100.0 million private placement of convertible senior notes due in 2018 and concurrently utilized $25.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to purchase shares of its common stock.
  • Move grew unique users 22% year-over-year, to over 28 million, up from an 18% increase last quarter.
  • In October, Move acquired FiveStreet, a company that offers a lead consolidation and response tool for agents, agent-teams and brokerages.
  • Also in October, ListHub announced a new agreement with the Houston Association of Realtors® to provide services to its more than 26,000 members, including a centralized control panel for online distribution and marketing choices, consolidated marketing analytics, centralized lead and traffic routing, and important data licensing protections.
  • Realtor.com® received a silver MIXX award from Interactive Advertising Bureau for the "Find It First" advertising campaign.
  • Realtor.com® updated its rentals app to notify users when they are near a rental property they have previously visited or saved within the app. The enhanced app also allows users to upload photos, take notes and share listings via email or text message and through AirDrop for iOS 7 users.
  • Move signed industry-first agreements with MetroList Services, Inc. and i-Tech MLS, providing reciprocal deep linking to multiple listing service content via the FINDSM application, a service of Move.
  • Top Producer continues to enhance functionality and ease of use, launching 'Follow-up Coach' in the quarter, a new feature that helps agents organize and prioritize client follow-up.

Convertible Senior Notes
In August 2013, the Company issued 2.75% convertible senior notes due September 1, 2018 (the "Notes") with a principal amount of $100.0 million.  The Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, and interest is payable in cash in arrears at a fixed rate of 2.75% on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2014.  The Notes mature on September 1, 2018 unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.  The Company cannot redeem the Notes prior to maturity.

The initial net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were $96.6 million after deducting the transaction costs paid by the Company.  In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company purchased 1,798,561 shares of its outstanding common stock in privately negotiated transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million.  The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds of the Notes offering for general corporate purposes and potential future acquisitions and strategic transactions.

Business Outlook
For the year ending December 31, 2013, Move expects revenue of approximately $227 million and expects to report Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 12–13%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share
To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), Move uses a non-GAAP measure of net income excluding net interest expense, income tax expense and certain other noncash and nonrecurring items, principally depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and charges, which is referred to as Adjusted EBITDA.  Move also uses a non-GAAP measure of net income applicable to common shareholders excluding convertible preferred stock dividends and related accretion, stock-based compensation and charges, amortization of intangible assets, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, on a per share basis, which is referred to as Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share.  Additionally, the Company has presented a non-GAAP table of Financial Data for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 that extracts stock-based compensation and charges. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the attached tables.  These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of Move's current financial performance and its prospects for the future and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures are the primary basis management uses for planning and forecasting its future operations.  Move believes these non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that it believes are not indicative of its core operating results and provide a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters and should be carefully evaluated.  Move, Inc. has reported Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share because management uses it to monitor and assess the Company's performance and believes it is helpful to investors in understanding the Company's business.

Unique Users
Move calculates total average monthly unique users across its network of websites and mobile apps as follows:  We count a unique user the first time an individual accesses one of our mobile applications using a mobile device during a calendar month and the first time an individual accesses one of our websites using a web browser during a calendar month.  If an individual accesses our mobile applications using different mobile devices within a given calendar month, the first instance of access by each such mobile device is counted as a separate unique user.  If an individual accesses our websites using different web browsers within a calendar month, the first instance of access by each such web browser is counted as a separate unique user.  If an individual accesses more than one of our websites from the same web browser in a calendar month, the first instance of access to each website is counted as a separate unique user.  We measure unique users to our mobile apps using Omniture.  We primarily measure unique users to our network of websites using Omniture.  We use Google Analytics to measure unique users to certain websites that amount to less than 5% of our total unique user metric.  Prior to the first quarter of 2013, we reported unique users using comScore measurements, rather than internal calculations.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including information about management's view of Move's future expectations, plans and prospects, within the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the results of Move, its subsidiaries, divisions and concepts to be materially different than those expressed or implied in such statements.  These risk factors and others are included from time to time in documents Move files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to, its Form 10-Ks, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks.  Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects on Move's future results.  The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date hereof.  Move cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Finally, Move expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
