ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rosetta Stone Inc. (NYSE:RST), a world leader in technology-based learning solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. Revenue totaled $46.2 million, down 5% from $48.7 million in the year-ago period. The third quarter net loss improved to $3.2 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, which included pre-tax charges of $1.9 million for inventory obsolescence (in cost of product revenue) associated with the switch from packaged perpetual products to subscription-based offerings and restructuring charges totaling $0.2 million. In the year-ago period, the Company had a net loss of $5.5 million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, which included pre-tax charges of $1.0 million (non-cash) for impairment and restructuring charges of $0.2 million.
Third Quarter 2017 Overview
- Revenue at Lexia, the Company’s Literacy segment, grew 26% year-over-year to a record high $11.0 million. Adjusting for the impact of purchase accounting, third quarter 2017 revenue at Lexia was $11.4 million and the revenue growth rate was 17% year-over-year. Revenue growth was driven in part by a 39% year-over-year increase in third quarter sales.
- Total operating expenses decreased 12% year-over-year, reflecting a 13% reduction in sales and marketing expense and a 9% reduction in general and administrative expense. The year-over-year improvement marked the Company's 11th consecutive quarter of lower operating expenses. Total operating expenses of $39.1 million in the third quarter 2017 included restructuring charges of $0.2 million and total operating expenses of $44.5 million in the year-ago period included a $1.0 million (non-cash) impairment charge and restructuring charges of $0.2 million.
- The Company had zero debt outstanding and ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $40.1 million at September 30, 2017. Compared to June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents increased $13.8 million, reflecting the continued growth in the mix of education marketplace sales, which are seasonally strongest in the third quarter.
“The third quarter marked another important step on our path toward future growth and leveraging the Company's greatly reduced cost structure to improve bottom-line results. Lexia had a great quarter with sales up 39% year-over-year in the important back to school period. Lexia now accounts for nearly one-quarter of total revenue, up from 18% in the year-ago period and up from less than 5% of the mix in the same period of 2014,” said John Hass, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we continue to build momentum as we work to complete the transformation of the Company to a SaaS-business with the transition of our Consumer Language retail channel partners to subscription-based products. On a year-to-date basis, these efforts have successfully reduced non-recurring product-based sales to less than 15% of the Company's total revenue mix."
Third Quarter 2017 Review
Revenue: Total revenue decreased $2.5 million year-over-year to $46.2 million in the third quarter 2017, reflecting declines in the Company's Language segments. Revenue at Lexia grew 26% year-over-year to a record high $11.0 million, driven in part by a 39% year-over-year increase in third quarter sales. The revenue growth rate includes the benefit of purchase accounting impacts on acquired deferred revenue, as noted above.
Enterprise & Education ("E&E") Language segment revenue decreased $1.8 million or 10% year-over-year to $16.5 million in the third quarter 2017. The majority of the decline reflected the Company's strategic decision to exit certain geographies and customer lines on a direct sales basis and reduce overall selling expense, which was part of the E&E Language restructuring announced in March 2016. E&E Language revenue from continuing geographies declined $0.8 million or 5% year-over-year.
Consumer segment revenue decreased $2.9 million or 14% year-over-year to $18.6 million in the third quarter. The decline was due to a $5.5 million reduction in product revenue, reflecting both the shift to SaaS-based revenue in the DTC channel and lower unit sales in the retail channel as our partners prepared for the conversion to sell the Company's subscription-based offerings starting in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company expects to complete the retail channel conversion during the first half of 2018. Subscription and service revenue increased $2.6 million or 19%, reflecting a record high 384,000 paid subscribers, up 100,000 or 35% year-over-year. The migration to a SaaS-based model in the Consumer segment has enabled the Company to offer an increased mix of lower-cost, shorter initial duration subscriptions; subscriptions with a duration of one year or less totaled 59% of the subscription unit mix sold in the third quarter 2017, up from 24% in the same quarter last year.

Net Loss: In the third quarter of 2017 the Company reported a net loss of $3.2 million or $(0.14) per diluted share, which included pre-tax charges of $1.9 million for inventory obsolescence, included in cost of product revenue, associated with the switch from packaged perpetual products to subscription-based offerings in the Consumer retail channel and restructuring charges of $0.2 million. In the comparable period a year ago, the Company incurred a net loss of $5.5 million or $(0.25) per diluted share, which included pre-tax charges of $1.0 million for impairment (non-cash) and $0.2 million for restructuring.
Total operating expenses decreased $5.4 million or 12% year-over-year to $39.1 million in the third quarter 2017. Net of a $1.0 million (non-cash) impairment charge related to capitalized software in the third quarter 2016 and restructuring expenses of $0.2 million in both the third quarter 2016 and the third quarter 2017, total selling, administrative and research expenses decreased $4.3 million or 10% year-over-year.
Balance Sheet: As of September 30, 2017, the Company had zero debt and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $40.1 million, which included a $1.5 million receipt from SOURCENEXT in the third quarter 2017. On a year-to-date basis, a total of $13.0 million has been received from SOURCENEXT for the previously announced strategic partnership agreement in Japan.
Deferred revenue increased to a record high $150.9 million at September 30, 2017, up $16.3 million sequentially and up $9.4 million compared to $141.5 million at December 31, 2016. The balance includes $12.6 million from the SOURCENEXT transaction, which is substantially long-term. Short-term deferred revenue of $113.9 million at September 30, 2017, or approximately 76% of the total balance, will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months.
Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA: Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $13.8 million in the third quarter 2017, up $11.0 million compared to $2.8 million in the third quarter 2016. Third quarter 2017 free cash flow was also up $27.3 million sequentially compared to negative $13.5 million in the second quarter 2017, in part due to the seasonality of our business. The year-over-year improvement in free cash flow reflects the Company's lower net loss, plus favorable changes in working capital and a 5% reduction in capital expenditures. The Company's capital expenditures primarily relate to capitalized labor on product and IT projects.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, improved to $2.7 million in the third quarter, compared to $2.4 million in the year-ago period. The Company's cash flow has historically been seasonal, with a net use of cash during the first half of the year and positive cash generation during the second half of the year. With the continued growth at Lexia and the increasing mix of sales from the education marketplace, which is seasonally strongest in the third quarter, it is expected that the majority of the Company's second half positive cash flow will be generated in the third quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company uses, and this press release contains references to, the non-GAAP financial measures of financial performance listed below.
- Bookings (or "Sales") represent executed sales contracts received by the Company that are either recorded immediately as revenue or as deferred revenue.
- Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income/loss plus interest income and expense, other income/expense, income tax benefit/expense, impairment, lease abandonment and termination, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring, and strategy and cost-reduction related consulting expenses. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA excludes "Other" items related to non-restructuring wind down and severance costs, and transaction and other costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, as well as all adjustments related to recording the non-cash tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been revised to conform to current definition.
- Free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities minus cash used in purchases of property and equipment.
- Segment contribution is calculated as segment revenue less expenses directly incurred by or allocated to the segment. Direct segment expenses include costs and expenses that are directly incurred by or allocated to the segment and include materials costs, service costs, customer care and coaching costs, sales and marketing expenses, and bad debt expense. In addition to the previously referenced expenses, the Literacy segment includes direct research and development expenses and Combined Language includes shared research and development expenses, cost of revenue, and sales and marketing expenses applicable to the Consumer Language and Enterprise & Education Language segments.
The definitions, GAAP comparisons, and reconciliation of those measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are available in this press release or in the corresponding earnings presentation, which are posted on our website at www.rosettastone.com.
Management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, enabling a better understanding of the long-term performance of the Company’s business. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, and for budgeting and planning purposes. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other software and education-technology companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
The presentation of this additional financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing earnings information, including this press release, or in corresponding earnings presentations, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies, and we encourage you to review and understand all our financial reporting before making any investment decision.
