NEW YORK, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dice Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:
DHX), a leading provider of specialized career websites for professional
communities, today reported financial results for the quarter and year
ended December 31, 2007.
Fourth Quarter Operating Results
Total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 increased 49% to
$39.5 million versus $26.6 million in the comparable quarter of 2006. The
revenue increase was driven by eFinancialCareers performance, including the
impact of a full quarter of ownership in 2007, and by increases at Dice.com
primarily as a result of a greater number of recruitment package customers.
Pro forma total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006 would have been
$28.6 million, and the year over year increase would have been 38%, had
Dice Holdings owned the eFinancialCareers businesses during the entire
period.
Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 increased $4.0
million to $9.4 million, an increase of 76% from the comparable period in
2006. The increase in operating income was due to higher revenues and
greater operating leverage at Dice.com and eFinancialCareers, partially
offset by a $2.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to the
intangible assets of JobsintheMoney.com, which was acquired as part of the
eFinancialCareers transaction in October 2006. See "Recent Developments"
for additional detail.
Income from continuing operations for the current quarter was $3.7
million, an increase of $1.4 million from $2.3 million generated in the
fourth quarter of 2006. Earnings per diluted share from continuing
operations were $0.06 for the current quarter, which includes a $0.03 per
diluted share negative impact, net of tax, from the non-cash impairment
charge.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended
December 31, 2007 was $16.5 million, compared with $10.6 million in the
fourth quarter last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $18.6 million,
compared with $12.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 an increase of
56%. See "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Operating Segment Results
For the fourth quarter of 2007, DCS Online revenues were $27.1 million
or 68.5% of Dice Holdings' consolidated revenues, representing a 20%
increase over the comparable 2006 quarter. Growth was driven by a greater
number of recruitment package customers and an increase in average revenue
per recruitment package customer at Dice.com. A strong increase in revenue
at ClearanceJobs.com also contributed. Within the segment, Dice.com
represented a significant majority of total revenues for the period.
Representing the Company's international operations, eFinancialCareers
revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $9.7 million or 24.5% of Dice
Holdings' consolidated revenues. Pro forma revenues for the fourth quarter
of 2006 would have been $4.5 million for this segment had Dice Holdings
owned eFinancialCareers during that entire period.
The other businesses operated by Dice Holdings, which include the
eFinancialCareers operations within the United States, JobsintheMoney.com,
and Targeted Job Fairs, are reported in the Other category. Other revenues
were $2.8 million in the fourth quarter versus $1.1 million for the
comparable period in 2006. Pro forma revenues for the fourth quarter of
2006 would have been $1.6 million for this segment had Dice Holdings owned
the eFinancialCareers businesses during that entire period.
Full Year Operating Results
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $142.4
million, compared to $83.4 million in the previous year. The 71% increase
was driven by growth in recruitment package customers and average revenue
per recruitment package customer at Dice.com, as well as the addition of
the eFinancialCareers businesses. Pro forma total revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2006 would have been $101.4 million had Dice Holdings
owned the eFinancialCareers businesses during all of 2006.
By segment, DCS Online revenues increased 32% to $102.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2007, while eFinancialCareers contributed revenues
of $29.7 million. Other revenues for the year increased to $10.5 million
from $3.2 million in the comparable period of 2006. Pro forma revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2006 would have been $16.5 million for the
eFinancialCareers segment and $7.6 million for the Other segment had the
company owned the eFinancialCareers businesses during all of 2006.
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 79% to
$32.0 million from $17.9 million for the previous year. Net income for the
full year 2007 was $15.5 million compared with $6.8 million for the full
year 2006.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash provided by operating
activities was $59.6 million, compared with $38.9 million for the same
period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 68% to
$62.5 million, compared with $37.1 million in 2006. See "Notes Regarding
the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Balance Sheet
Deferred revenue at December 31, 2007 was $46.2 million compared to
$34.4 million at December 31, 2006. The 34% increase is primarily
attributable to serving a greater number of recruitment package customers
at Dice together with a higher percentage of those customers under annual
contract than at December 31, 2006.
Net debt, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities, was $66.7 million at December 31, 2007, consisting
of total debt of $124.4 million minus cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $57.7 million. This compares to a net debt balance
of $81.2 million at September 30, 2007, consisting of total debt of $124.7
million minus cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $43.5
million.
Recent Developments
In September 2007, the Company launched a redesigned JobsintheMoney
website with an expectation that, together with an increase in marketing,
its overall performance for employers, recruiters, and finance and
accounting professionals would improve. While the functionality of the
website has improved, to date there has been no subsequent measurable
improvement in financial performance. Therefore, intangible assets related
to JobsintheMoney.com were reduced by $2.9 million to zero.
On January 28, 2008, Dice India Holdings transferred its equity stake
in the CyberMedia Dice joint venture to an affiliate of Cyber Media.
CyberMedia Dice results were previously reported in the Other segment. As
of December 31, 2007, CyberMedia Dice was considered held for sale;
therefore, results from operations, assets and liabilities from the joint
venture are now classified as a discontinued operation and all historical
periods have been recast.
Management Comments
Scot Melland, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated
"Our fourth quarter provided a solid finish to the year marked by strong
revenue and profit growth in each of our key operating segments.
eFinancialCareers worldwide delivered its strongest quarter of the year as
customers continue to discover the value of recruiting financial services
professionals using our service. Overall, despite a challenging market
environment, our results underscore our view that the long-term global
opportunity for our business is unchanged. In 2008, we plan to continue
executing our three-pronged strategic plan to further build professional
communities organically, globally and by acquisition."
Mike Durney, Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial
Officer, added "The breadth of contribution to our fourth quarter results
across our key operating segments continues to illustrate how effectively
our business model operates for both our users and our Company. At Dice, we
had on average 17% more recruitment package customers than a year ago and
at year end more than 80% of those customers are under annual contract.
During the quarter, we marked the one-year anniversary of the
eFinancialCareers acquisition with flat-out excellent results worldwide
including some nice growth from our newer markets." Mr. Durney continued,
"Company-wide, the fourth quarter is historically our strongest in EBITDA
terms and 2007 was no exception, with a 47% adjusted EBITDA margin.
Finally, we continue to generate significant amounts of cash, while we
invest to grow."

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 share
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 charges or expenses, and to add back the deferred
revenues written off in connection with the Dice Inc. acquisition and 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.
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined
above) with an addition for the Adjusted EBITDA of eFinancialCareers, as
though we owned the business for all periods presented. We believe Pro
Forma Adjusted EBITDA is an important non-GAAP measure as it provides a
basis for comparing the current period performance against prior periods.
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 periodic reports and our
Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, under the headings "Risk
Factors," "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" all of which are
available on the Investor Relations page of our website at
http://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.

Supplemental Information and Non-GAAP Reconciliations
On the pages that follow, the Company has provided certain supplemental
information that we believe will assist the reader in assessing our
business operations and performance, including certain non-GAAP financial
information and required reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP
measure. Results for each quarter of 2006 and the first three quarters of
2007 have been recast to reflect discontinued operations. The supplemental
schedules provided include:
Historical Quarterly Statement of Operations and Adjusted EBITDA
Reconciliation
A quarterly statement of operations reflecting the results of each
quarterly period for calendar year 2006 and 2007 is provided. This
information provides the reader with the information necessary to analyze
Dice Holdings, Inc. over the recent past.
Historical Quarterly Statement of Cash Flows and Free Cash Flow
Reconciliation
A quarterly statement of cash flows reflecting the results of each
quarterly period for calendar year 2006 and 2007 is provided. This
information provides the reader with the information necessary to analyze
Dice Holdings, Inc. over the recent past.
Quarterly Supplemental Data and Certain Non-GAAP Reconciliations
On this schedule, the Company provides certain non-GAAP information of
each quarterly period for calendar year 2006 and 2007 that we believe is
useful to understanding the business operations of the Company. A
discussion of the significant sections is below:
Adjusted Pro Forma Revenues By Segment
Adjusted pro forma revenues by segment reflects historical revenues
adjusted for the addition of deferred revenue that was previously written
off as part of purchase accounting adjustments related to the Dice Inc. and
