Internet America Reports Preliminary Unaudited Operating Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011
(firmenpresse) - HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 08/17/11 -- Internet America, Inc. (OTCBB: GEEK) today announced preliminary unaudited operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 decreased by 5.94% to approximately $6,979,000 as compared to total revenues of approximately $7,420,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment loss, stock-based compensation expense and loss or gain on the transfer of assets) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 increased 671% to approximately $1,218,000 as compared to adjusted EBITDA of approximately $158,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Net income and adjusted EBITDA were positively impacted in fiscal 2011 by continued reductions in costs and improved efficiencies associated with connectivity, operations and general and administrative expenses that were initiated in the second half of fiscal 2010. Despite the Company's goodwill write-down of $376,000 during fiscal 2011, net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $677,000 to approximately ($303,000) as compared to a net loss of ($980,000) in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The preliminary unaudited financial results reported herein are subject to the completion of the Company's fiscal 2011 audit and any adjustments required in connection therewith. The Company expects to report final audited results by the end of September 2011 in connection with the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cash at June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $303,000 as compared to cash at June 30, 2010 after a $444,000 reduction in existing debt, investments of $305,000 in capital upgrades and additions and an investment of $108,000 in a small acquisition during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
Billy Ladin, Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are pleased with our earnings and organizational progress over the last fiscal year and we believe that our EBITDA profitability will continue and possibly improve over the foreseeable future. Our flatter management structure, which has now been in place for over a year, is producing a more effective and efficient organization. We are now focused on revenue improvement and believe that we will see better top line growth beginning in the next quarters. At the same time, we expect to continue to improve profitability."

In this press release, the Company refers to a non-GAAP financial measure called adjusted EBITDA because of management's belief that this measure is a financial indicator of the Company's ability to internally generate operating funds. Management also believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional research analysts in the valuation and investment recommendations of companies in the Company's peer group. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, as defined by GAAP.
