Companies: Dendreon Corp. (DNDN), Nuance Communications Inc (NUAN), Pozen, Inc. (POZN), ValueClick Inc (VCLK)
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Oct 27, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Revenue was $130.2 million. Adjusted-EBITDA(1) was $33.4 million and adjusted-EBITDA margin was 25.7 percent. The Company generated approximately $22.6 million in free cash flow in the third quarter, defined as net cash from operations less capital expenditures. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 includes $182.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no debt.
"Our continued focus on delivering performance-based solutions for our advertisers helped ValueClick generate another quarter of strong financial results," said Tom Vadnais, chief executive officer of ValueClick. "In the fourth quarter, we anticipate sequential revenue growth in most of our businesses and continued adjusted-EBITDA margin strength. I remain confident in ValueClick's competitive position due to our commitment to performance-based online marketing services, our proprietary technology platforms, and our operating expertise."
GAAP net income was $25.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share. The Company recorded an income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2009 of $2.7 million due to favorable income tax adjustments recorded in the quarter. Excluding these adjustments and assuming the normalized 42 percent effective tax rate included in the Company's previously-issued third quarter guidance, net income would have been $13.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share.
Non-GAAP net income, which excludes discontinued operations, stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets was $30.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share. A table reconciling GAAP net income from continuing operations to non-GAAP diluted net income per common share is included in this press release.
The comparison shopping & search segment and lead generation business within the media segment performed above the Company's expectations for the quarter, while the Company's other businesses performed in-line with expectations.
(1) Adjusted-EBITDA is defined as GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net income from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. Please see the attached schedule for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted-EBITDA, and a discussion of why the Company believes adjusted-EBITDA is a useful financial measure to investors and how Company management uses this financial measure.
Business Outlook
Today, ValueClick is announcing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2009:
Guidance Revenue $128-$138 million Adjusted-EBITDA $32-$35 million Mid-Point Adjusted-EBITDA Margin ~25% GAAP diluted net income per common share $0.15-$0.16 Non-GAAP diluted net income per common share $0.21-$0.22
In the fourth quarter, the Company expects revenue in its media, affiliate marketing and technology segments to increase from their respective third quarter of 2009 levels. Specifically, the mid-point of guidance includes the following segment-level assumptions for revenue growth rates from third quarter 2009 revenue levels:
-- Media: up high single digits -- Affiliate Marketing: up low to mid teens -- Technology: up mid single digits -- Comparison Shopping & Search: down mid to high teens
Within the media segment, the Company anticipates display revenue growth in the mid teens and flat growth in lead generation revenue relative to third quarter 2009 revenue.
Fourth quarter 2009 non-GAAP and GAAP diluted net income per common share guidance assume a 40 percent effective tax rate.
Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. ET
Tom Vadnais, chief executive officer, and John Pitstick, chief financial officer, will present an overview of the results and other factors affecting ValueClick's financial performance for the third quarter during a conference call and webcast on October 27 at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Note 1 -- "Adjusted-EBITDA" (GAAP net income from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation) included in this press release is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted-EBITDA, as defined above, may not be similar to adjusted-EBITDA measures used by other companies and is not a measurement under GAAP. Management believes that adjusted-EBITDA provides useful information to investors about the Company's performance because it eliminates the effects of period-to-period changes in income from interest on the Company's cash and marketable securities and the costs associated with income tax expense, capital investments, and stock-based compensation which are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company's business operations. Management uses adjusted-EBITDA in evaluating the overall performance of the Company's business operations.
Though management finds adjusted-EBITDA useful for evaluating aspects of the Company's business, its reliance on this measure is limited because excluded items often have a material effect on the Company's earnings and earnings per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management uses adjusted-EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP earnings and earnings per common share measures. The Company believes that adjusted-EBITDA provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the Company's core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of overall performance, and a base-line for assessing the future earnings potential of the Company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the Company prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental metric since, with a reconciliation to GAAP, it may provide greater insight into the Company's financial results.

Management uses pro forma net income per diluted common share in evaluating the overall performance of the Company's business operations.
Though management finds pro forma net income per diluted common share useful for evaluating aspects of the Company's business, its reliance on this measure is limited because excluded items often have a material effect on the Company's earnings and earnings per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management always uses pro forma net income per diluted common share in conjunction with GAAP earnings and earnings per common share measures. The Company believes that pro forma net income per diluted common share provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the Company's core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of overall performance, and a base-line for assessing the future earnings potential of the Company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the Company prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental metric since, with a reconciliation to GAAP, it may provide greater insight into the Company's financial results.

Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog:
ValueClick to Report In-Line
ValueClick Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK) is set to announce its third quarter results on Oct 27. We expect the company to report in-line third quarter results, if not higher than the guidance, due to the continued deterioration in the lead generation business.
Headquartered in Westlake Village, California, ValueClick is a diversified provider of Internet advertising solutions and online marketing services for online advertisers and website publishers.
ValueClick directly competes only with Marchex (Nasdaq: MCHX) for placing web advertisements on affiliate networks. However, large Web portals such as Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) and MSN continue to increase competition for ValueClick's display ad business. Over the long-term, we are very positive on online advertising growth; however, current economic conditions are creating significant headwinds for ValueClick and others in the industry. We have a neutral rating on ValueClick.
Radio Shack Delivers in Q3
RadioShack Corp. (NYSE: RSH) announced its third quarter results today. Net revenues came in at $990 million, down 3.1% year over year. However, this was better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $981 million. The year-over-year reduction in sales is primarily due to a 2.9% decline in comparable same-store sales for company-operated stores and kiosks in the reported quarter compared to the prior-year quarter.
Segment wise, revenues from company-operated store declined 3.5% year over year, Kiosks sales declined 17.8% year over year, whereas revenues from Other services increased 13.5% year over year. Acquisition of RadioShack de Mexico in December 2008 has significantly contributed to the Other services segment. Product category wise, sales declines in digital-to-analog converter boxes, laptop computers, batteries, wireless accessories, and GPS products.
