Market Pulse: CMGI swings to quarterly profit; revenue surges
Monday October 3, 4:11 pm ET
By Gabriel Madway

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- CMGI Inc. after Monday's closing bell reported fourth-quarter net earnings of $300,000, or breakeven on a per-share basis. In the same period a year ago, the company reported a net loss of $6.8 million, or 2 cents a share. Revenue at the Waltham, Mass.-based technology products company soared to $251.2 million from $96.5 million last year. CMGI said the revenue increase was primarily attributable to its acquisition of Modus Media.

CMGI reported operating income of $5.7 million for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, compared to an operating loss of $23.7 million for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004, an improvement of $29.3 million, or 124%. This improved performance was largely due to the acquisition of Modus Media, which provided significant financial benefits including expansion into higher margin business verticals, service offerings and geographies as well as synergies that allowed the Company to reduce costs by eliminating redundancies. The Company achieved savings related to integration of approximately $28.0 million, on an annualized basis. Partially offsetting these improved financial results were significant costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance readiness actions and SAS 70 reviews for clients which totaled approximately $5.8 million. The fiscal 2005 operating income also included charges related to the amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation and depreciation totaling $21.1 million and net restructuring charges of $5.3 million. Included in the Company's fiscal 2004 operating loss were charges related to the amortization of stock-based compensation and depreciation totaling $7.1 million, and net restructuring charges of $5.6 million.

CMGI reported net income of $26.5 million, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2005, compared to net income of $87.0 million, or $0.22 diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2004. The net income in fiscal 2005 included a non-cash income tax benefit of approximately $23.9 million as a result of a reduction in the Company's estimate of certain income tax liabilities that had been included in accrued income taxes on the Company's balance sheet. The net income in fiscal 2004 included a $40.5 million gain by the Company's AltaVista subsidiary on the sale of approximately 3.2 million shares of Overture Services, Inc. common stock, and a non-cash income tax benefit of approximately $76.4 million.

Excluding the effects of charges related to depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, and restructuring, CMGI reported non-GAAP operating income of $32.0 million for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 versus non-GAAP operating loss of $11.0 million in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. Similar to the year over year improvements noted in the discussion above of our GAAP results, the $43.0 million, or 392% year over year improvement in our non-GAAP operating income was also primarily attributable to the synergies and resulting benefits realized from the acquisition of Modus Media at the beginning of fiscal 2005.

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 the excluded items was excluded because they may be considered to be of a non-operational or non-cash nature. Historically, CMGI has recorded significant impairment and restructuring charges. These charges, as well as charges related to depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, have been excluded for the purpose of enhancing the understanding by both management and investors of the underlying baseline operating results and trends of the business, which management uses to evaluate our financial performance for purposes of planning and forecasting future periods. 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. Non-GAAP operating income/(loss) 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. The Company's usage of non-GAAP operating income/(loss), and the underlying methodology in excluding certain charges, is not necessarily an indication of the results of operations that may be expected in the future, or that the Company will not, in fact, incur such charges in future periods. A table reconciling CMGI's non-GAAP operating income/(loss) to its GAAP operating income/(loss) and its GAAP net income/(loss) is included in the statement of operations information in this release.

Fourth Quarter

CMGI reported net revenue of $251.2 million for the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2005. This compares to net revenue of $96.5 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $154.8 million, or 160%, year over year. This increase was primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition of Modus Media.

CMGI reported an operating loss of $3.7 million for the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2005, compared to an operating loss of $5.3 million for the same period last year, an improvement of $1.6 million, or 30%, year over year. Operating results for the fourth quarter were negatively impacted by significant costs associated with the Company's Sarbanes Oxley 404 compliance readiness actions, which totaled approximately $3.6 million during the quarter. The fiscal 2005 fourth quarter operating loss also included charges related to the amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation and depreciation totaling $5.3 million and net restructuring charges of $1.5 million. Included in the Company's fiscal 2004 fourth quarter operating loss were charges related to the amortization of stock-based compensation and depreciation totaling $1.5 million.

CMGI reported net income of $0.3 million, or nil diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. This compares to a net loss of $6.8 million, or ($0.02) diluted loss per share, for the same period last year. Net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 included a $4.5 million gain as a result of the sale of one of @Ventures portfolio companies, Molecular.

Excluding the effects of charges related to depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, and restructuring, CMGI reported non-GAAP operating income of $3.1 million for the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2005 compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $3.7 million for the same period last year. Similar to the improvements noted in the discussion above of our fourth quarter GAAP results, the $6.9 million, or 184% year over year improvement in our non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter was also primarily attributable to the synergies and resulting benefits realized from the acquisition of Modus Media at the beginning of fiscal 2005.

As of July 31, 2005, CMGI had consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $192.7 million, versus $272.2 million at July 31, 2004. The primary use of cash versus last year-end represents the Modus Media net cash acquisition costs and related expenses of approximately $66.2 million.

Conference Call Scheduled for October 3rd

CMGI will hold a conference call to discuss its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2005 results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 3, 2005.

This release contains forward-looking statements, which address a variety of subjects including, for example, the expected benefits of the Modus Media acquisition, our integration efforts and our investments in ModusLink, and the development and implementation of business strategies in our target markets and through our venture capital affiliate. 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 improve its cash position, expand its operations and revenues and sustain 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 Media acquisition or the financial forecasts of CMGI following the Modus Media acquisition may not be achieved, due to problems or unexpected costs that may arise in successfully integrating the Modus Media 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. In addition, from time to time management may present unaudited pro forma combined financial results of CMGI and Modus Media for historical perspective. Such pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of financial results that could have occurred, nor necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected in the future.
