(firmenpresse) - DALLAS, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 02/15/12 -- DG® (NASDAQ: DGIT), the world's leading ad management and distribution platform, today reported fourth quarter financial results. Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter 2011 increased 44% to $108.3 million, compared to $75.2 million in the same period of 2010. DG's fourth quarter income from continuing operations was $5.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $18.6 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the year earlier period. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $43.1 million compared to $38.7 million for the same period of 2010.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, consolidated revenue was $324.3 million compared to $241.3 million in 2010, an increase of 34%. 2011 income from continuing operations was $26.5 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $45.3 million, or $1.63 per diluted share in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for 2011 increased 16% to $134.6 million versus $116.1 million for the 2010.
"The fourth quarter capped a transitional year for DG, as 40% of our revenues came from online media while approximately 30% originated from outside the US," said Neil Nguyen, President and CEO of DG. "Our TV segment continued to generate stable EBITDA and cash flow, as our online segment run rate approached a trillion ad impressions served per year. This foundation enables strategic investment in data-driven products and solutions leveraging the convergence of TV and Online media."
Our results are reported in two operating segments, television and online. Our advertising distribution services, direct response services, long form syndication services, and business intelligence services comprise our television segment. Our MediaMind, EyeWonder and Unicast entities form our online segment and will operate under the MediaMind brand going forward.
Fourth quarter and full year highlights include:
DG generated consolidated revenue in the quarter of $108.3 million, an increase of 44% over the same period a year ago.
The television segment generated revenue of $64.3 million, a decrease of 7% from the year earlier period. HD advertising revenue increased 5% to $36.3 million from the year earlier period.
The online segment generated revenue of $44.0 million, an increase of 611% from the year earlier period, primarily due to DG's acquisitions of MediaMind and EyeWonder during the 3rd quarter of 2011.
DG's fourth quarter non-GAAP net income was $10.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $21.7 million, or $0.76 per diluted share in the year earlier period.
2011 non-GAAP net income was $50.9 million or $1.83 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $58.7 million, or $2.11 per diluted share in the same period of 2010.
DG's full year and fourth quarter operating income included $15.1 million and $1.3 million of acquisition and integration related expenses, respectively.
The Company repurchased 328,000 shares during the 4th quarter for approximately $5.0 million. The Company repurchased 847,500 shares during the full year 2011.

The Company has completed several acquisitions that have impacted the comparability of the operating results presented. The results of operations for each of the following entities have been included in the Company's results since the acquisition date.
Match Point Media on October 1, 2010 (included in television segment)
MIJO Corporation ("MIJO") on April 1, 2011 (included in television segment)
MediaMind Technologies, Inc. ("MediaMind") on July 26, 2011 (included in online segment)
EyeWonder LLC, a Delaware LLC, and the equity interests of Chors GmbH, a German LLC (collectively, "EyeWonder") on September 1, 2011 (included in online segment)
Results related to the Company's Springbox unit have been reclassified to discontinued operations and, therefore, have been excluded from our continuing operating results for both 2011 and 2010.
Our third quarter financial statements have been recast to reflect changes in our estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisition of MediaMind, which were originally recorded on a preliminary basis in the September 30, 2011 financial statements. The impact of this change was to decrease intangible assets by $105.7 million with an offsetting increase to goodwill and a reduction in deferred tax liabilities. As a result, our third quarter 2011 amortization expense decreased by $2.2 million from retrospectively adjusting the fair value of the acquired intangible assets as of the acquisition date. We also increased general and administrative expense by $0.5 million for additional stock based compensation which had been estimated based on preliminary information. These two adjustments, net of the related $0.5 million increase in income tax expense, increased our third quarter net income by $1.2 million as compared to what was previously reported.
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the Company has historically provided additional financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP). Legislative and regulatory changes discourage the use of and emphasis on non-GAAP financial measures and require companies to explain why non-GAAP financial measures are relevant to management and investors. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our past performance and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts our performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring our core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our segments. This measure also is used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. There are limitations associated with reliance on any non-GAAP financial measures because they are specific to our operations and financial performance, which makes comparisons with other companies' financial results more challenging. By providing both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, we believe that investors are able to compare our GAAP results to those of other companies while also gaining a better understanding of our operating performance as evaluated by management.
The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the overall performance of the Company because it eliminates the effects of events that are non-cash, or are not expected to recur as they are not part of our ongoing operations.
The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income from continuing operations, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring / impairment charges and benefits, and gains and losses on derivative instruments. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance and a good measure of the Company's historical operating trends.
Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that are either not part of the Company's core operations, such as net interest expense, acquisition and integration expenses, and gains and losses from derivative instruments, or do not require a cash outlay, such as share-based compensation and impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expense, which is based on the Company's estimate of the useful life of tangible and intangible assets. These estimates could vary from actual performance of the asset, are based on historical costs, and may not be indicative of current or future capital expenditures.
We are also providing non-GAAP net income as a non-GAAP financial measure for the fourth quarter as well as for the full year of 2011 because we have provided this measure in the past. Going forward, we do not regard this measure as useful in managing our business. We do not expect to provide this measure in the future.
The Company defines "non-GAAP net income" as net income from continuing operations before amortization of intangible assets, impairment charges, acquisition and integration expenses, write-off of deferred loan fees and loss on interest rate swap terminations/gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts, and share-based compensation expense. All amounts excluded from net income for purposes of determining "non GAAP net income" are reported net of the tax benefit these expenses provide.
Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company's operating income and net income, as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is presenting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures.
