BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:EIGI), a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions designed to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed online, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

“Our fourth quarter and fiscal year results exceeded our revised guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, the result of continued strong performance from Constant Contact and a more disciplined approach to our marketing investments,” commented Hari Ravichandran, chief executive officer and founder of Endurance International Group.  “For 2017, we plan to focus on driving improved performance from our key hosting brands, including Bluehost and Host Gator, and building on the solid results we have seen with Constant Contact.  We also plan to invest in building brand awareness for these and other key brands, as well as fund operational and infrastructure improvements to enhance the customer product and service experience. We believe this will position us to achieve long term profitable growth and increased free cash flow.”

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Endurance International Group’s fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results teleconference and webcast is scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday, February 16, 2017.  To participate on the live call, analysts and investors should dial (888) 734-0328 at least ten minutes prior to the call.  Endurance International Group will also offer a live and archived webcast of the conference call, accessible from the Investor Relations section of the company’s website at http://ir.endurance.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate the operating and financial performance of our business, identify trends affecting our business, develop projections and make strategic business decisions.  A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flow that includes or excludes amounts that are included or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. For example, adjusted EBITDA excludes interest expense, which has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the additional information about adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow shown below, including the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net (loss) income, excluding the impact of interest expense (net), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization of other intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses, transaction expenses and charges, (gain) loss of unconsolidated entities, and impairment of other long-lived assets. We view adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and believe it helps investors evaluate and compare our core operating performance from period to period.

Free Cash Flow, or FCF, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures and capital lease obligations. We believe that FCF provides investors with an indicator of our ability to generate positive cash flows after meeting our obligations with regard to capital expenditures (including capital lease obligations).

Key Operating Metrics

Total Subscribers - We define total subscribers as the approximate number of subscribers that, as of the end of a period, are identified as subscribing directly to our products on a paid basis, excluding accounts that access our solutions via resellers or that purchase only domain names from us. Subscribers of more than one brand, and subscribers with more than one distinct billing relationship or subscription with us, are counted as separate subscribers. Total subscribers for a period reflects adjustments to add or subtract subscribers as we integrate acquisitions and/or are otherwise able to identify subscribers that meet, or do not meet, this definition of total subscribers.

Average Revenue Per Subscriber (ARPS) - We calculate ARPS as the amount of revenue we recognize in a period, including marketing development funds and other revenue not received from subscribers, divided by the average of the number of total subscribers at the beginning of the period and at the end of the period, which we refer to as average subscribers for the period, divided by the number of months in the period. See definition of “Total Subscribers” above.  We believe ARPS is an indicator of our ability to optimize our mix of products and services and pricing and sell products and services to new and existing subscribers.  ARPS does not represent an exact measure of the average amount a subscriber spends with us each month, since our calculation of ARPS is impacted by revenues generated by non-subscribers.

(1)  The (gain) loss of unconsolidated entities is reported on a net basis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2016. The three months ended December 31, 2016 includes a loss of $4.7 million on the impairment of our 33% equity investment in Fortifico Limited.  The three months ended December 31, 2016 also includes a net loss of $0.1 million from our proportionate share of net losses from unconsolidated entities. The twelve months ended December 31, 2016 includes an $11.4 million gain on our investment in WZ UK, Ltd. This gain was generated on January 6, 2016, when we increased our ownership stake in WZ UK from 49% to 57.5%, which required a revaluation of our existing investment to its implied fair value. The twelve months ended also includes a loss of $4.8 million on our investment in AppMachine B.V. This loss was generated on July 27, 2016, when we increased our ownership stake in AppMachine from 40% to 100%, which required a revaluation of our existing investment to its implied fair value. These were also offset by the loss of $4.7 million on Fortifico Limited previously mentioned in this paragraph, and by our proportionate share of net losses from unconsolidated entities of $1.3 million. 

The loss of unconsolidated entities is reported on a net basis for the year ended December 31, 2015. The twelve months ended December 31, 2015 includes a $5.4 million gain for the redemption of our equity interest in World Wide Web Hosting, offset by our proportionate share of net losses from unconsolidated entities of $14.6 million.

(1)  The (gain) loss of unconsolidated entities is reported on a net basis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2016. The three months ended December 31, 2016 includes a loss of $4.7 million on the impairment of our 33% equity investment in Fortifico Limited.  The three months ended December 31, 2016 also includes a net loss of $0.1 million from our proportionate share of net losses from unconsolidated entities. The twelve months ended December 31, 2016 includes an $11.4 million gain on our investment in WZ UK, Ltd. This gain was generated on January 6, 2016, when we increased our ownership stake in WZ UK from 49% to 57.5%, which required a revaluation of our existing investment to its implied fair value. The twelve months ended also includes a loss of $4.8 million on our investment in AppMachine B.V. This loss was generated on July 27, 2016, when we increased our ownership stake in AppMachine from 40% to 100%, which required a revaluation of our existing investment to its implied fair value. These were also offset by the loss of $4.7 million on Fortifico Limited previously mentioned in this paragraph, and by our proportionate share of net losses from unconsolidated entities of $1.3 million.
