Exhibit 1
2007: 42% of Revenues from Search; EBITDA Up 24% to $3.1M
Q4: Revenues Rise 34% YOY to $5.4M
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL April 1, 2008 IncrediMail Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAIL, www.incredimail-corp.com), an Internet content and media company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007.
| Non-GAAP net profit $3.0 million for 2007, $0.7 million for Q4 2007 |
| Google discussions progressing, search-generated revenues return to growth |
| Write-down of $4.9 million from Auction Rate Security |
Revenues for 2007 increased to a record $18.7 million, up 72% from $10.9 million in 2006. Search-related activities generated 42% of the years revenues, compared with 13% in 2006, while product and subscription revenues also grew moderately throughout the year. Registered downloads during the year averaged 1.2 million per month, giving the Company a total of 86 million registered downloads as of year-end.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased by 34% to a record $5.4 million compared with $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Search-related activities generated 49% of the quarters revenues, compared with 27% in the fourth quarter of 2006, while product and subscription revenues also grew moderately throughout the quarter.
Commenting on the results, Mr. Ofer Adler, CEO of IncrediMail, said, 2007 was a period of accelerated growth and investment, which we believe has positioned us for continued strong progress in 2008. The years 72% increase in revenues reflects the exceptional growth of our search activities, which has proven to be a potent channel for monetizing our large user community. In parallel, however, our other new initiatives, including trials in the area of branded content and our community product, did not prove to be cost-effective, and we have discontinued them recently. Given our large user base and our proven model for monetizing it, our strategy for 2008 is straightforward: to focus on our core business, expand our user base, invest in user retention, and maximize the opportunity for our users to engage in search.
Mr. Adler continued, To this end, we made significant investments throughout 2007 to develop new products and the next generation of existing products, an effort we believe will assist us in reducing the current level of churn and reaching new demographics. In the coming quarters, we plan to launch totally new IncrediMail and Magentic products, together with the full release of our Messy Instant Messaging tool.
In parallel, we have begun stepping up our customer acquisition activities. We plan to expand our targeted online advertising campaigns, increasing our Traffic Acquisition Costs (TAC) dramatically, although not at a rate that will create an operating loss. We believe the combination of our new products and the advertising campaign will expand our user base by 15% or more by year-end, resulting in a revenue increase of 30% or higher for 2008 compared to 2007, and an even greater increase in revenues and profits in 2009.
The significant investment in product development, sales and marketing caused the Companys operating expenses to nearly double in 2007, reaching $14.7 million for the year and $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $7.7 million and $2.7 million in the same periods of 2006
Mr. Adler continued, The focus of our R&D effort in 2007 was to create the new IncrediMail, Magentic and Messy products that will be launched during the next few months. Although these investments did not generate revenues in 2007, they are key elements of our customer retention and new customer acquisition strategy. With the R&D ramp-up essentially behind us, we will now redirect our efforts to our TAC, increasing them significantly from their 2007 level of approximately $1.4 million. In parallel, we have streamlined the business around our core activities, discontinuing projects that have not met our revenue expectations. We believe a tightly-focused business strategy and a leaner organization are the right platform for building the Company to the next level of revenues and profits.
Financing expenses for the year and the quarter included a one-time write-down of $4.9 million taken to reflect the revaluation of a $5.0 million Auction Rate Security purchased as an investment in July 2007. Recent volatility in global credit markets has adversely affected the liquidity of this security. As a result, the security was recently downgraded from a AAA to a CCC rating by Standard & Poors. Although the Company continues to receive interest payments every 28 days, in light of a valuation of the security recently received from the Companys banker, the Company has recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $4.9 million on its statement of operations. The Company has no other Auction Rate Securities or CDOs.
Including the abovementioned write-down, net loss for 2007 according to U.S. GAAP was $3.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. Excluding the write-down, stock-based compensation and impairment of intangible assets, the Company recorded non-GAAP net income for 2007 of approximately $3.0 million, essentially unchanged from 2006, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $0.33 per diluted share, for 2006.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, U.S. GAAP net loss was $4.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. Excluding the write-down, stock-based compensation and impairment of intangible assets, the Company recorded non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of $0.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2006.
On January 21, 2008, following a ten-day suspension, the Company was reinstated as a Google AdSense Online Partner. The suspension primarily reflected Googles desire to assure IncrediMails compliance with the Google AdSense for Search program. At no time did Google accuse IncrediMail of click fraud or any other illegal or unethical practices. Since reactivation of IncrediMails AdSense account, Google and IncrediMail have been engaged in negotiations aimed at the creation of a direct agreement, and they are progressing in a positive direction.
Although IncrediMail recorded no search-related revenues during the 10-day suspension period, its search activities returned immediately afterwards.
Mr. Adler continued, We are pleased to report that our discussions with Google towards an even stronger relationship are progressing, and that our daily search revenues are once again on an upwards trajectory. Our negotiations with Google have reached their final stages, and we feel positive and optimistic regarding their outcome. In the meantime, we are carrying out trials with other premier search players who are attracted by the unique size, demographic profile and Effective CPM record of our user base.
On February 5, 2008, Mr. Ofer Adler, the Companys co-founder, director and Chief Product Officer, was appointed the Companys new CEO.
Mr. Ofer Adler concluded, I believe that we have only begun to scratch the surface of IncrediMails real potential, and am fully committed to achieving a new level of growth in the year ahead. Benefiting from the experience gained over the past years, we are completing our new strategy focused on core products and the proven search model. To enable us to fully present and discuss this strategy during our normal quarterly conference call, we have chosen to delay the call for two weeks. As such, we invite all interested parties to join us for a full update on Wednesday, April 16th, at 10:30 AM EDT.
IncrediMail will host a conference call to discuss its results and its plans going forward on Wednesday April 16th at 10:30 AM EDT. We invite all those interested in participating in the call to dial 1 (888) 668-9141. Callers from Israel may access the call by dialing (03) 918-0650.
Participants may also access a live webcast of the conference call through the Investor Relations section of IncrediMails website at www.incredimail-corp.com. The webcast will be archived on the companys website for seven days.
