CHANTILLY, Va.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Online Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCC), a leading provider of online financial services, today reported financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

"The Company performed well during the period, exceeding revenue expectations due to higher than anticipated payment transactions late in the quarter"

  • Revenue was $39.3 million, compared to $38.6 million in the first quarter of 2010.
  • Including a legal reserve recognized in the quarter, Ebitda, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $3.2 million, compared to $8.3 million in the same quarter of 2010.
  • Adjusted Ebitda, a non-GAAP measure that adjusts Ebitda for equity compensation expense and other expenses, was $6.2 million, compared to $9.3 million in the prior year period.
  • Net loss available to common stockholders was $7.2 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2010.
  • Core net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.5million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2010.

In the first quarter, the Company created a $7.7 million reserve for potential legal liability related to a verdict in litigation with its former CEO. Additionally, it incurred approximately $900,000 in advisory costs as part of the Board of Directorsa™ evaluation of strategic alternatives. Excluding the legal reserve and one-time advisory costs, Ebitda would have been $5.4 million in the quarter.

aThe Company performed well during the period, exceeding revenue expectations due to higher than anticipated payment transactions late in the quarter,a said Joseph L. Cowan, president and chief executive officer of Online Resources. aWe also made significant progress in getting our corporate strategy underway.a

Cowan continued, aIn particular, we have initiated two key components of our strategy. As announced earlier today, we have completed our transition to a functionally-aligned organization. In addition, we have taken the first steps to establish our development operation in India, including contracting for office space and commencing the hiring process. I look forward to reporting on additional progress toward our plan in the coming months.a

Outlook for Second Quarter 2011

Online Resources provided the following guidance for the second quarter of 2011. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

  • Revenue for the quarter is expected to be between $35.0 and $37.0 million.
  • Ebitda1,2 for the quarter is expected to be between $1.7 and $3.2 million
  • Adjusted Ebitda1,2,5 for the quarter is expected to be between $4.1 and $5.4 million.
  • Core net loss1,3,4,5,6 is expected to be between $(0.03) and $(0.01) per share.
(1) The Company uses non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures, including Ebitda, adjusted Ebitda and core net income, to evaluate performance and establish goals. It believes that these measures are valuable to investors in assessing the Companya™s operating results when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results.
(2) Ebitda is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. We expanded our definition of Adjusted Ebitda in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted Ebitda is now defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity compensation expense, reserve for potential legal liability, strategic alternatives process costs, transition costs (including severance, retention and ORCC India start up costs) and other expense. Some or all of these items may not be applicable in any given reporting period.
(3) Core net loss is defined as net income available to common stockholders before, on a pre-tax basis unless otherwise noted, the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, equity compensation expense, income tax benefit or expense from the change in valuation allowance, income (costs) related to the fair market valuation of certain derivatives and mark-to-market investments, preferred stock accretion related to the redemption premium, reserve for potential legal liability, net of tax, strategic process costs, net of tax, transition costs (including severance, retention and ORCC India start up costs), net of tax, and all other non-recurring charges. Some or all of these items may not be applicable in any given reporting period.
(4) Excludes estimates for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $1.3 million, equity compensation expense of $0.5 million and preferred stock accretion related to the redemption premium of $0.4 million.
(5) Adjusted Ebitda and core net loss exclude $1.7 million in transition costs. These costs are tax-effected in the calculation of core net loss.
(6) Core net loss per share calculated using estimated shares outstanding of 31.8 million.
