Motricity (Nasdaq:MOTR), a leading provider of mobile Internet services, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. A brief slide presentation providing an overview of the third quarter results and recent initiatives may be viewed at http://investor.motricity.com/events.cfm.

"In the third quarter, Motricity generated positive cash from operations, increased EBITDA and strengthened our balance sheet," said Jim Smith, interim chief executive officer. "With substantial restructuring behind us, we are in the early stages of investing in innovation to address strong market opportunities in carrier, mobile advertising and enterprise."

Third Quarter Results

Revenue in the third quarter of 2012 was $23.0 million, as compared to $22.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $24.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Operating income was $1.4 million, as compared to operating income of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 and to operating loss of $(147.9) million in the third quarter of 2011. Net income from continuing operations was $0.5 million, as compared to net loss of $(0.2) million in the second quarter of 2012 and $(141.7) million in the third quarter of 2011. EBITDA from continuing operations (EBITDA) was $3.9 million, as compared to EBITDA of $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 and EBITDA loss of $(145.3) million in the third quarter of 2011. Net loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2011 included $139.5 million of impairment charges.

Motricity ended the third quarter with $19.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. On October 11, 2012, Motricity announced that the previously announced rights offering had closed and that the Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $28 million from the offering with the issuance of 1,199,643 shares of Series J preferred stock and 10,149,842 common stock warrants.

Launch of New Brands

During the third quarter, Motricity launched two new brands for its mobile media and mobile enterprise lines of business:

  • VoltariTM (www.voltari.com) is focused on helping advertisers reach the right person at the right time on any mobile device. Voltari launched V-Connect – a predictive analytics platform that goes beyond just selling inventory by helping advertisers more effectively target the right audience prior to launching a campaign.
  • Serrano MobileTM (www.serranomobile.com) is focused on enabling brand marketers to acquire new customers, build loyalty, and measure customer engagement through branded mobile experiences. Serrano Mobile launched the Serrano platform – a cloud-based mobile-marketing platform that simplifies the development, management, and performance measurement of branded mobile experiences.
  • The Company's longstanding carrier-focused line of business will remain as MotricityTM providing value-added mobile data services to several of the largest carriers in the world.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., referred to herein as GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. Reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is detailed in the table below.

Our non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities as defined by GAAP.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before income (loss) from discontinued operations, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

We believe EBITDA is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because this financial measure is an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We believe that EBITDA is often used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

We use EBITDA:

  • as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis;
  • as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations;
  • as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and management team in connection with our executive compensation plan incentive payments; and
  • in communications with our board of directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA for each of the quarters ended:
