CMGI Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2005 Financial Results; Revenue and Operating Results up Significantly as a Result of Modus Acquisition
December 6, 2004 1:58 PM ET
WALTHAM, Mass., Dec 6, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CMGI, Inc. (CMGI) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended October 31, 2004.


Q1 2005 vs. Q1 2004 Operating Highlights -- Total Net Revenue, increased 171% to $257.1 million -- Total Operating Income, improved by 134% to $2.4 million -- Non-GAAP Operating Income, improved by 385% to $9.0 million


"I am pleased with today's announcement. The Modus Media acquisition, completed on August 2, has made CMGI a stronger company. The first quarter results, which are the first to include the results of the acquisition, reflect significant improvement in our operating and financial performance. Compared to a year ago, our revenues have more than doubled, with an operating income of $2.4 million. This is the company's first quarterly operating profit in 9 years and demonstrates the progress we are making focusing on operations and executing our integration plan," said Joseph C. Lawler, President and Chief Executive Officer of CMGI.

CMGI reported net revenue of $257.1 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2004. This compares to net revenue of $94.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2004, an increase of $162.2 million, or 171%, year over year. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Modus, as well as new U.S.-based supply chain management customer programs awarded during the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

CMGI reported operating income of $2.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to an operating loss of $7.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2004, an increase of $9.5 million, or 134%, year over year. The increase in operating income was largely the result of the acquisition of Modus, and to a lesser extent, reductions in restructuring costs and general and administrative expenses. In addition, including the impact of the acquisition of Modus, gross margins increased from 8% to 12%, year over year. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 included charges related to the amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation and depreciation totaling $5.2 million, and net restructuring charges of $1.4 million. Included in the Company's operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 were charges related to the amortization of stock-based compensation and depreciation totaling $2.3 million, and net restructuring charges of $1.7 million.

CMGI reported a net loss of $0.6 million, or ($0.00) diluted loss per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. This compares to net income of $29.9 million, or $0.07 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and represents a year over year decrease of $30.5 million, or 102%. Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 included non-operating gains of approximately $42.1 million, of which approximately $40.5 million represents the gain on the sale of Overture Services, Inc. common stock.

Excluding the effects of charges related to depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, long-lived asset impairment, and restructuring, CMGI reported non-GAAP operating income of $9.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. This compares to a non-GAAP operating loss of $3.2 million for the same period of the prior year, and represents an increase of $12.2 million, or 385%, year over year. The improvement in non-GAAP operating income was primarily attributable to the Modus acquisition, and to a lesser extent, reductions in general and administrative expenses within the Company's base business.

The Company believes that its non-GAAP measure of operating income/(loss) ("non-GAAP operating income/(loss)") provides investors with a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance by excluding the impact of non-cash charges and restructuring activities. Each of these items was excluded because they may be considered to be of a non-operational nature. Historically, the Company has recorded significant impairment and restructuring charges and therefore management uses non-GAAP operating income/(loss) to assist in evaluating the performance of the Company's core operations. Non-GAAP operating income/(loss) does not have any standardized definition and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting companies. These non-GAAP results should not be evaluated in isolation of, or as a substitute for the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). A table reconciling the Company's non-GAAP operating income/(loss) to its GAAP operating income/(loss) is included in the statements of operations information in this release.

As of October 31, 2004, CMGI had consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $180.2 million, versus consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $272.2 million at the end of the prior quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily due to a net cash payment of approximately $66.2 million to retire the Modus' debt and pay certain deal-related costs. The additional cash usage during the quarter was primarily related to funding the ongoing operating activities of the Company and certain remaining obligations relating to prior restructuring initiatives.

Conference Call Scheduled for December 6th

All statements other than statements of historical fact, including without limitation, those with respect to CMGI's goals, plans and strategies set forth herein are forward-looking statements. The following important factors and uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: CMGI's success, including its ability to decrease its cash burn rate, improve its cash position, expand its operations and revenues and reach profitability, depends on its ability to execute on its business strategy and the continued and increased demand for and market acceptance of its products and services; the possibility that expected benefits of the Modus acquisition or the financial forecasts of CMGI following the Modus acquisition may not be achieved, due to problems or unexpected costs that may arise in successfully integrating the Modus business or an inability to realize expected synergies or make expected future investments in the combined businesses; CMGI's management may face strain on managerial and operational resources as they try to oversee the expanded operations; CMGI may not be able to expand its operations in accordance with its business strategy; CMGI's cash balances may not be sufficient to allow CMGI to meet all of its business and investment goals; CMGI may experience difficulties integrating technologies, operations and personnel in accordance with its business strategy; CMGI derives a significant portion of its revenue from a small number of customers and the loss of any of those customers would significantly damage CMGI's financial condition and results of operations; and increased competition and technological changes in the markets in which CMGI competes.
