InfoSpace Announces Second Quarter 2003 Results; Revenue Increases 15% Year Over Year
July 30, 2003 4:22:00 PM ET

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2003--InfoSpace, Inc. INSP today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2003 were $38.3 million, reflecting a $5.1 million (or 15.2%) increase over the second quarter of 2002. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), net loss for the second quarter of 2003 was $15.0 million, or $0.48 per basic share, versus a net loss of $13.7 million, or $0.45 per basic share in the second quarter of 2002.

In the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded net charges of $18.3 million. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $10.5 million, comprised of employee separation costs of $4.0 million and a charge of $6.5 million related to excess facilities. In addition, the Company recorded a charge of $12.6 million as a result of the disposition and impairment of certain equity investments, and recognized a $4.7 million gain from a litigation settlement and other items. For the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a net charge of $0.8 million for the settlement of a litigation matter and a reserve on a note receivable.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investments at the end of the second quarter of 2003 totaled $301.1 million, reflecting an increase of $13.2 million from the first quarter of 2003. The Company had no debt obligations at the end of the quarter.

"During the quarter we reorganized the company to sharpen our business focus and further align costs with revenues," said Jim Voelker, chairman and chief executive officer of InfoSpace, Inc. "Each of our three businesses contributed to another quarter of positive free cash-flow."

Segment Information

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company reorganized around three businesses: Search and Directory, Payment Solutions and Wireless. As announced last quarter, services falling outside of these areas are in the process of being sold or disposed. As a result of this reorganization, the Company has changed its segment reporting to better reflect how it measures the operating performance of the segments.

-- Search and Directory revenues were $21.4 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of $5.2 million or 31.8% from the second quarter of 2002. The revenue increase is primarily due to growth in the number of paid searches and greater revenue per search. Total paid searches during the quarter, including both Search and Directory, were approximately 136 million, generating average revenue per paid search of approximately $0.13. Search and Directory segment income was $11.8 million or 54.9% of revenues for the second quarter of 2003.

-- Payment Solutions revenues were $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of $1.5 million or 27.9% from the second quarter of 2002. The revenue increase is due to growth in the number of merchants using the Authorize.Net service and an increase in the number of transactions. At the end of the second quarter, approximately 83,000 active gateway merchants were using the Authorize.Net service, generating an average of approximately $23.40 in monthly revenue per active merchant. Payment Solutions segment income totaled $1.3 million or 19.5% of revenues for the second quarter of 2003.

-- Wireless revenues were $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2003, a decrease of $0.6 million or 8.3% from the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in revenue is primarily a result of the previously reported loss of a major customer in 2002. Wireless segment income totaled $2.0 million or 29.7% of revenues for the second quarter of 2003.

For each segment, the historical financial results for the first quarter of 2002 through the first quarter of 2003 are presented in a manner consistent with the Company's new reporting segments, which required the Company to allocate historical costs to each segment based on the manner in which the Company currently operates. The revised financial information for the new segments was based on management's estimates and assumptions for comparative purposes, is not indicative of how the Company managed its business or operated the segments in the past, and is different than the segment results previously presented. Segment income for each reportable operating segment does not include allocations for general, administrative and other overhead costs, depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring and other charges and non-operating gains or losses.

Outlook

As a result of the sale or disposition of certain non-core services, pricing declines in the wireless segment and seasonality in Internet usage during the summer months, the Company expects a sequential decline in revenue. For the third quarter of 2003, the Company expects revenue to be between $32 million and $34 million and a net loss excluding any one-time gains or losses. The Company will not be providing additional forward-looking guidance for 2003.

A conference call will be Webcast live today at 2 p.m. Pacific Time/5 p.m. Eastern and can be accessed in the Investor Relations section of the InfoSpace corporate Web site at www.infospaceinc.com. A replay of the call will be available approximately one hour after the call until August 7, 2003 at 10 p.m. Pacific Time.

(A) During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a gain of
$0.1 million on the sale of one of its non-core services. During
the first quarter of 2003, the Company reached a settlement
agreement with the Internal Revenue Service regarding the audit of
its payroll tax returns for the year 2000. The audit included a
review of tax withholding on stock options exercised by certain
former employees. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the
Company expects to pay $4.0 million, including penalties and
interest, which is reflected in the results for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, and is relieved of any further withholding
tax liability with respect to those certain former employees.

(B) During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $10.5 million, which included employee
separation costs of $4.0 million and a charge of $6.5 million
related to excess facilities.

(C) During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a net
charge of $12.4 million, which primarily consists of a $12.6
million charge to write down the carrying value and disposition of
certain equity investments. Additionally, during the first
quarter of 2003, the Company recognized a gain of $0.4 million
related to the disposition of certain equity investments.

(D) During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recognized a $4.7
million gain from a litigation settlement and other items.

(E) Effective September 13, 2002, the Company's shareholders approved
a one-for-ten reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of
common stock, as recommended and approved by the Company's Board
of Directors. Accordingly, InfoSpace shareholders received one
share of the Company's common stock for each ten shares of common
stock held as of the effective date of the reverse split. This
split is retroactively applied to prior year share data for

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company narrowed its focus to three core businesses: Search and Directory, Payment Solutions, and Wireless. Businesses outside of these areas are in the process of being sold or disposed. As a result of the reorganization the Company has changed its segment reporting to better reflect how it measures the operating performance of its segments. For each segment, the historical financial results for the first quarter of 2002 through the first quarter of 2003 are presented in a manner consistent with the Company's new reporting segments, which required the Company to allocate historical costs by each segment based on the manner in which the Company currently operates. The revised financial information for the new segments was based on management's estimates and assumptions for comparative purposes, is not indicative of how the Company managed its business or operated the segments in the past, and are different than the segment results previously presented. Segment income for each reportable operating segment does not include allocations for general, administrative and other overhead costs, depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring and other charges and other non-operating gains or losses.
