- Raised up to $7.5 million in growth capital in the form of a private placement
- Private placement priced at $2.50 per share
- Voyce continues to sign key strategic partnerships
- Identity Guard® subscriber base and revenue continue growth
Intersections Inc. (NASDAQ: INTX) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
“We continue to be pleased with the growth of our Identity Guard® subscriber base and relatively stabilized run-off rate of our legacy financial institution subscriber base in the third quarter,” commented Michael Stanfield, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intersections. Mr. Stanfield further noted that, “We are also excited about recent strategic relationships developed by our Voyce business that will be instrumental in the launch of our Voyce Pro™ monitoring service for veterinarians and the additional capital to support our operating plan.”
Consolidated revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $48.9 million, compared to $59.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $(3.5) million, compared to $(6.6) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Net (loss) for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $(4.3) million, compared to $(3.9) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $156.4 million, compared to $190.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation and non-cash impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $(2.5) million, compared to $(3.3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $(30.4) million, compared to $(8.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As previously announced, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $7.4 million and $16.0 million related to the remeasurement of its investment in White Sky, Inc. and the establishment of a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Diluted (loss) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $(1.57), compared to $(0.47) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of $8.2 million, and no debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility.
The Company also announced that it entered into irrevocable subscription agreements with certain existing stockholders who are affiliated with certain of our directors for a private placement of up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $2.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $7.5 million. The purchase price represents a premium of 16% to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 trading days prior to the date of the agreement. Loeb Holding Corporation, the Company’s largest stockholder, will purchase not less than $5.0 million and not more than $6.85 million of the shares.
The closing is expected to take place November 20, 2015 and the proceeds are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes. The transaction was negotiated and approved by a special committee of the Board of Directors. Additional information will be contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K that will be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights:
- Revenue from our U.S. financial institution clients for the third quarter was $27.3 million with a base of approximately 861 thousand subscribers as of September 30, 2015. The subscriber base decreased by 3.6% compared to June 30, 2015, which we believe is representative of normal attrition given the ceased marketing and retention efforts for this population.
- Revenue from our Consumer Direct, or Identity Guard® subscriber base for the third quarter was $14.9 million, 7.8% higher than the second quarter of 2015 and 24.1% higher than the third quarter of 2014. The Identity Guard® subscriber base was 389 thousand as of September 30, 2015, 2.6% higher than June 30, 2015 and 15.4% higher than September 30, 2014.
- Revenue and subscribers in our Canadian business lines were negatively impacted in the third quarter as a result of the cancellation of a financial institution subscriber portfolio in the second quarter of 2015.
- Consolidated adjusted EBITDA (loss) before share related compensation for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 includes approximately $(3.9) million from our Pet Health Monitoring segment, which was funded from available cash on hand.
- Consolidated cash flows (used in) operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were approximately $(139) thousand, compared to cash flows provided by operations of $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. We continue to evaluate ways to address our liquidity needs including additional cost reduction programs and seeking additional sources of capital.
Nine Months Results:
- Revenue and profitability declines continue to be principally caused by the declining subscriber base acquired through U.S. financial institution clients. These clients ceased marketing add-on products as early as 2012, and since then continue to cancel certain subscriber portfolios.
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes approximately $(12.5) from our Pet Health Monitoring segment, which was funded from available cash on hand, compared to $(10.3) million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
- As a consequence of the Company’s declining profitability, the Company recorded a $16.0 million non-cash charge in its income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 to establish a valuation allowance on substantially all of its net deferred tax assets. The timing of realization of these deferred tax assets will be dependent on the timing of the Company’s future profitability.
- On June 26, 2015, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of White Sky, Inc., in which we previously held an equity interest that was recorded as a long-term, cost method investment. This acquisition provides opportunities to expand our product integration and development, marketing and operational efficiencies. Based upon the estimated fair value of the business prior to the acquisition, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $7.4 million before income taxes in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
- Consolidated cash flows provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $2.5 million, compared to cash flows provided by operations of $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

| Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
| The table below includes financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, as well as other financial measures referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation and non-cash impairment charges is presented in a manner consistent with the way management evaluates operating results and which management believes is useful to investors and others. Share related compensation includes non-cash share based compensation, as well as dividend equivalent cash payments to restricted stock unit (“RSU”) holders. An explanation regarding the company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used by the company to GAAP measures is provided below. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income (loss) and the other information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management strongly encourages shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. |
| Consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation and non-cash impairment charges represents consolidated loss before income taxes plus share related compensation, non-cash impairment of goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and other (income) expense. We believe that the consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation and non-cash impairment charges calculation provides useful information to investors because they are indicators of our operating performance. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation and non-cash impairment charges is commonly used as a basis for investors and analysts to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies within our industry. Our Board of Directors and management use consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation and non-cash impairment charges to evaluate the operating performance of the company and to make compensation determinations. |
| We provide this information to show the impact of share related compensation on our operating results, as it is excluded from our internal operating and budgeting plans and measurements of financial performance; however, we do consider the dilutive impact to our shareholders when awarding share related compensation and consider both the Black-Scholes value and GAAP value (to the extent applicable) in connection therewith, and value such awards accordingly. |

| We do not consider share related compensation charges when we evaluate the performance of our individual business groups or formulate our short and long-term operating plans. Due to its nature, individual managers generally are unable to project the impact of share related compensation and accordingly we do not hold them accountable for the impact of equity award grants. When we consider making share related compensation grants, we primarily take into account the need to attract and retain high quality employees, overall shareholder dilution and the Black-Scholes values of the equity grant to the recipient, rather than the potential accounting charges associated with such grants. For comparability purposes, we believe it is useful to provide a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes share related compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to compare our results to the results of our peer companies because of varying available valuation methodologies and the variety of award types that companies can use under GAAP. Furthermore, the value of share related compensation is determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation when read in conjunction with our reported GAAP results can provide useful supplemental information to our management, to investors and to our lenders regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. |
| Consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation and non-cash impairment charges has limitations due to the fact it does not include all compensation related expenses. For example, if we only paid cash based compensation as opposed to a portion in share related compensation, the cash compensation expense included in our general and administrative expenses would be higher. We compensate for this limitation by providing information required by GAAP about outstanding share based awards in the footnotes to our financial statements in our SEC filings. We believe equity based compensation is an important element of our compensation program and all forms of share related awards are valued and included as appropriate in our operating results. |
| The following table reconciles consolidated loss before income taxes to consolidated adjusted EBITDA before share related compensation and non-cash impairment charges, as defined for the previous seven quarters and year-to-date through September 30, 2014 and 2015. In managing our business, we analyze our performance quarterly on a consolidated income (loss) before income tax basis. |
