NEW YORK, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dice Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DHX), a
leading provider of specialized career websites for professional communities,
today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Third Quarter Operating Results
Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 increased 4% to $39.6
million versus $38.1 million in the comparable quarter of 2007, primarily
driven by increased revenues at the international operations of
eFinancialCareers.
Operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 grew 7% to $11.0
million from $10.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2007, as a result of
higher revenues and lower amortization of intangible assets.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 totaled $6.4 million, an
increase of 52% from $4.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
This increase was partially impacted by a lower effective tax rate in the
quarter as a result of changes in the non-U.S. and state statutory rates. The
Company anticipates its effective tax rate will be approximately 35% in future
periods.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.10 for the quarter ended September 30,
2008, an increase of 43% from $0.07 diluted earnings per share in the quarter
ended September 30, 2007.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended September 30,
2008 was $13.1 million, an increase of 22% from $10.8 million in the
comparable quarter of 2007.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $17.6 million,
compared with $17.2 million for the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 3%.
See "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Operating Segment Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, DCS Online revenues were $27.2
million or 69% of Dice Holdings' consolidated revenues, representing a 2%
increase over the comparable 2007 quarter. The increase was driven by a
slight increase in average revenue per recruitment package customer at
Dice.com, as well as a 24% increase in revenues at ClearanceJobs.
eFinancialCareers, which accounted for 25% of Dice Holdings' consolidated
revenues in the third quarter of 2008, consists of the eFinancialCareers
operations outside of North America. For the quarter ended September 30,
2008, eFinancialCareers revenues grew 18% to $9.9 million (or 16% after adding
back the impact of deferred revenue written off in connection with the October
2006 acquisition of eFinancialCareers to the third quarter 2007 results).
Continental Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific each grew substantially
in the quarter.
The remaining businesses operated by Dice Holdings, which include the
eFinancialCareers operations in North America, JobsintheMoney.com and Targeted
Job Fairs, are reported in the Other category. Other revenues decreased 19%
to $2.6 million (or 21% after adding back the impact of deferred revenue
written off in connection with the October 2006 acquisition of
eFinancialCareers to the third quarter 2007 results). The decline was
primarily driven by reduced demand for job fairs and a decrease in revenues at
JobsintheMoney.
Nine Month Operating Results
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased 16% to
$119.5 million, compared to $102.8 million in the comparable period in 2007.
The increase was driven by solid performance at both eFinancialCareers and
Dice.com.
By segment, DCS Online revenues increased 9% to $81.7 million for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2008. In the same period, eFinancialCareers
contributed revenues of $29.6 million, an increase of 48% (or 42% after adding
back the impact of deferred revenue written off in connection with the October
2006 acquisition of eFinancialCareers to the nine months ended September 30,
2007 results). Other revenues grew 7% to $8.2 million (or decreased 2% after
adding back the impact of deferred revenue written off in connection with the
October 2006 acquisition of eFinancialCareers to the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 results).
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased 40% to
$31.6 million from $22.6 million in the comparable period in the prior year.
Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
totaled $17.7 million, an increase of 85% from $9.6 million in the comparable
period of 2007. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
increased 33% to $18.2 million from $13.7 million in the comparable period in
the prior year.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, net cash provided by
operating activities increased 31% to $50.2 million compared with $38.2
million for the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $51.2
million, compared with $43.9 million for the same period in 2007, an increase
of 17%. See "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Balance Sheet
Deferred revenue at September 30, 2008 was $44.9 million compared to $43.9
million at September 30, 2007.
Net debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities, was $21.7 million at September 30, 2008, consisting of total debt
of $100.3 million minus cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of
$78.6 million. This compares to a net debt balance of $31.4 million at June
30, 2008, consisting of total debt of $121.7 million minus cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities of $90.3 million. The decrease in total
debt was a result of the Company prepaying, in September 2008, $21.4 million
of the term loan portion of its Amended and Restated Credit Facility which
matures in March 2012.
Recent Development
In mid-October 2008, the Company prepaid an additional $18.5 million on the
term loan portion of its Amended and Restated Credit Facility. As of October
23, 2008, the Company has $81.5 million outstanding under the term loan.
Additionally, the $75 million revolving credit facility remains undrawn.
Management Comments
Scot Melland, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented
"Given today's challenging economic environment, it will come as no surprise
that recruitment activity is slowing. However, in the third quarter, we
continued to see success providing access to highly skilled professionals to
our customers. This is highlighted by our modest growth at Dice and 24%
growth in local currencies at eFinancialCareers' international operations,
including substantial growth in Asia and the Middle East." Mr. Melland
continued, "As we look ahead to the fourth quarter and 2009, we believe that
market conditions will deteriorate further, which will impact our customer and
billings performance. However, we are confident in our long term market
opportunity and ability to capitalize on it as economic conditions improve."
Michael Durney, Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer,
noted "The financial model continued to deliver in the third quarter with
Adjusted EBITDA margins of 44% and more than $13 million in free cash flow
generated. Our model allows us substantial discretion in managing during this
increasingly difficult environment both generating cash flow and continuing to
invest to satisfy our customers." Mr. Durney added, "We have repaid $40
million of debt using cash generated throughout the year. Our priorities for
cash deployment remain the same: looking for investment opportunities, while
actively optimizing our capital structure."
Business Outlook
As of October 23, 2008, the Company anticipates the following financial
performance for the quarter and year ending December 31, 2008:

About Dice Holdings, Inc.

professional communities, including technology and engineering, capital
markets and financial services, accounting and finance, and security
clearance. Our mission is to help our customers source and hire the most
qualified professionals in select and highly skilled occupations, and to help

and further their careers. For more than 18 years, we have built our company
by providing our customers with quick and easy access to high-quality, unique
professional communities and offering those communities access to highly
relevant career opportunities and information. Today, we serve multiple
markets primarily in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and
Australia.
Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Dice Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") has provided certain non-GAAP financial
information as additional information for its operating results. These
measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and may be different from
non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that its
presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expense,
non-cash impairment of intangible assets and add back of deferred revenue
written off ("Adjusted EBITDA"), free cash flow and net debt, provides useful
information to management and investors regarding certain financial and
business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Company's management uses these measures for reviewing the
financial results of the Company and for budgeting and planning purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to measure operating
performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure for
internal monitoring and planning, including preparation of annual budgets,
analyzing investment decisions and evaluating profitability and performance
comparisons between us and our competitors. The Company also uses this
measure to calculate amounts of performance based compensation under the
senior management incentive bonus program. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our
Amended and Restated Credit Facility, represents net income (loss) before
interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, extraordinary or
non-recurring non-cash income or expense, and to add back the deferred
revenues written off in connection with the eFinancialCareers acquisition
purchase accounting adjustments.
We consider Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, to be an important indicator to
investors because it provides information related to our ability to provide
cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working
capital requirements and to fund future growth as well as to monitor
compliance with financial covenants. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a
supplemental performance measure because we believe that this measure provides
our board of directors, management and investors with additional information
to measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period and
company to company by excluding potential differences caused by variations in
capital structures (affecting interest expense) and tax positions (such as the
impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net
operating losses), and to estimate our value.
We present this discussion of Adjusted EBITDA because covenants in our Amended
and Restated Credit Facility contain ratios based on this measure. Our
Amended and Restated Credit Facility is material to us because it is one of
our primary sources of liquidity. If our Adjusted EBITDA were to decline
below certain levels, covenants in our Amended and Restated Credit Facility
that are based on Adjusted EBITDA may be violated and could cause, among other
things, an inability to incur further indebtedness and in certain
circumstances a default or mandatory prepayment under our Amended and Restated
Credit Facility.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP
and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income
or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our
profitability or liquidity.
Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities from
continuing operations minus capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is
an important non-GAAP measure as it provides useful cash flow information
regarding our ability to service, incur or pay down indebtedness or repurchase
our common stock. We use free cash flow as a measure to reflect cash
available to service our debt as well as to fund our expenditures. A
limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash
provided by operating activities is that free cash flow does not represent the
total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period
since it excludes cash used for capital expenditures during the period.
Net Debt
Net Debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities. We consider net debt to be an important measure of
liquidity and an indicator of our ability to meet ongoing obligations. We
also use net debt, among other measures, in evaluating our choices for capital
deployment. Net Debt presented herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. You should not place
undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous
uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment,
all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our
control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our
possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of
our business strategy. These statements often include words such as "may,"
"will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan,"
"estimate" or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions
that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our
perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future
developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the
circumstances. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are
based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could
affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, competition from
existing and future competitors, failure to maintain and develop our
reputation and brand recognition, failure to increase or maintain the number
of customers who purchase recruitment packages, cyclicality or downturns in
the economy or industries we serve, and the failure to attract qualified
professionals or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our
websites. These factors and others are discussed in more detail in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, under
the headings "Risk Factors," "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q all of which are available on the Investor
Relations page of our website at www.diceholdingsinc.com.
You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us herein,
or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which we make it. New risks and
uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for us to
predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no obligation to
update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as
required by federal securities laws.
