Motricity Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results
Motricity, a leading provider of mobile data solutions that enable wireless carriers to deliver high value mobile data services to their subscribers, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, its first quarter as a publicly traded company.
"Solid execution, accelerated revenue growth and significant margin expansion enabled Motricity to exceed expectations in revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income," said Ryan Wuerch, chief executive officer. "Motricity's mCore platform is driving mobile data services and mobile internet growth for some of the largest carriers and enterprises in the world. Our ability to deliver 'Mobile as a Service' through a cloud computing environment is producing strong results that were evidenced in the second quarter. Our domestic business is continuing to grow as AT&T has contracted to implement our next-generation storefront solution -- Marketplace. Moreover, we signed a multi-year extension to our longstanding relationship with Verizon Wireless, which includes enabling the mobile internet across Verizon's newest smartphones such as the HTC Incredible and Droid X. We are capitalizing on the massive global opportunity for mobile internet users by adding XL Axiata in Indonesia, one of the largest and fastest growing carriers in Southeast Asia, as the first customer in our Asia Pacific region growth strategy. We believe that this new relationship is a powerful leading indicator that carriers are turning to Motricity as their mobile data services partner of choice on a worldwide basis."
Motricity's operating performance for the second quarter of 2010 is compared to the first quarter of 2010 in this press release, as the Company believes that the sequential comparison is particularly useful to investors, given trends in the business. Information about the Company's financial results for the prior year periods is included in attached tables.
Revenue and Net Loss:
Revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $30.4 million, an increase of 5% over revenue of $29.1 million for the first quarter of 2010. Revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in managed services revenue, which rose 5% to $21.9 million, while professional services revenue grew 4% to $8.5 million. Net loss for the second quarter of 2010, including the impact of a one-time charge of $17.5 million for stock-based compensation related to vesting of previous restricted stock grants based upon completion of Motricity's initial public offering, was $(11.6) million, compared with net loss of $(1.5) million for the first quarter of 2010. Earnings per share was $(1.95) for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to $(1.38) for the first quarter of 2010.
Margin Expansion:
Adjusted Net Income margin improved to 12% in the second quarter, up from 2% in the first quarter of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA margin grew to 21% in the second quarter, up from 11% in the first quarter. Motricity's margin performance in the second quarter is a benefit of the mCore platform, which drives efficiencies by delivering carrier and enterprise customers high quality "Mobile as a Service" solutions while enabling Motricity to maintain control over its costs. Margin expansion is driving substantial improvements in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, non-GAAP measures that Motricity believes are relevant ways for investors to evaluate Motricity's operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 was $6.3 million, an increase of more than 100% compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2010. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2010:

Adjusted Net Income:
Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter of 2010 was $3.7 million, or $0.09 per Adjusted EPS, more than a seven-fold increase compared with Adjusted Net Income of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per Adjusted EPS, for the first quarter of 2010[1].

[1] Adjusted EPS reflects Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Shares Outstanding (weighted average basic shares outstanding as calculated under GAAP, adjusted to reflect the share impact of the IPO and other related adjustments as if the IPO had occurred at the beginning of the respective period). See the Use of Non-GAAP Measures section for related reconciliations.
Cash and Debt:
As of June 30, 2010, Motricity had cash and cash equivalents of $74.0 million and no debt outstanding. The Company received $51.4 million in proceeds from its initial public offering, net of issuance costs paid through June 2010.
Financial Outlook:
For the third quarter 2010, Motricity believes that revenue will grow to approximately $37 million to $38 million driven by increased mobile data services usage by its carrier customers' subscribers, the deployment of new solutions for several customers and large implementation projects for AT&T and XL Axiata. Motricity expects continued margin expansion and increased Adjusted Net Income in the range of $5.3 million to $6.3 million.
Motricity's 2-3 year long-term financial model suggests accelerating annual revenue growth up to approximately 30%, and further margin expansion, reaching an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 32% and Adjusted Net Income margin of approximately 25%.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS (Adjusted Net Income per Adjusted Shares Outstanding). Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are not measures of financial performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., referred to herein as GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are detailed in tables below.
Our non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to and not as an alternative or substitute for the measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income do not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by GAAP. Our statement of cash flows presents our cash flow activity in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring expenses, asset impairments and stock-based compensation expense, interest income and other income (expense), net. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) before amortization of purchased intangibles, stock compensation expense, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, non-cash tax expense and the impact from changes in the fair value of warrants. We define Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Shares Outstanding. Adjusted Shares Outstanding reflect the weighted-average common shares outstanding as if the IPO and other adjustments occurred at the beginning of the respective period. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are useful for management, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because these financial measures provide an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We believe that:
-- Adjusted EBITDA is often used by investors to measure a company's
operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from
company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of
assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired;
and
-- investors commonly use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to
eliminate the effect of restructuring and stock-based compensation
expenses, which vary widely from company to company and impair
comparability.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income:
-- as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance
from period to period on a consistent basis;
-- as measures for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for
evaluating actual results against such expectations;
-- as primary measures to review and assess the operating performance of
our company and management team in connection with our executive
compensation plan incentive payments; and
-- in communications with our board of directors, stockholders, analysts
and investors concerning our financial performance.
