Groupon Announces First Quarter 2015 Results
Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN) today announced financial results for the
quarter ended March 31, 2015.
"Q1 was a strong quarter, despite significant headwinds from foreign
exchange rates, as we delivered 58% year-over-year growth in Adjusted
EBITDA," said Eric Lefkofsky, CEO of Groupon. "Our North America
business saw its third-straight quarter of double digit billings
increases in all three categories, and we made continued progress in our
mission to connect local commerce through our predominantly mobile
marketplace."
Groupon previously announced that it has entered into an agreement to
sell a controlling stake in Ticket Monster, its South Korean e-commerce
business, to a partnership formed by KKR and Anchor Equity Partners. As
a result, Ticket Monster will be presented as a discontinued operation
in the Company's consolidated financial statements for all historical
periods, effective in the first quarter 2015. Results have been
retrospectively adjusted to exclude Ticket Monster in this release and
in the tables accompanying this release. As such, all financial
information and operational metrics herein pertain to continuing
operations, unless otherwise noted.
First Quarter 2015 Summary
-
Gross billings, which reflect the total dollar value of customer
purchases of goods and services, increased to $1.6 billion in the
first quarter 2015, compared with $1.5 billion in the first quarter
2014. Gross billings grew 10% globally, excluding the unfavorable
impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates
throughout the quarter. On this F/X neutral basis, North America
billings increased 14%, EMEA increased 7% and Rest of World declined
1%. Including the $117.7 million unfavorable impact from foreign
exchange, billings increased 2% compared with first quarter 2014.
-
Revenue increased to $750.4 million in the first quarter 2015,
compared with $728.4 million in the first quarter 2014. Revenue grew
10%, excluding the unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in
foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter. On this F/X neutral
basis, North America revenue increased 11%, EMEA increased 13% and
Rest of World declined 8%. Including the $51.3 million unfavorable
impact from foreign exchange, revenue increased 3% compared with first
quarter 2014.
-
Gross profit was $347.4 million in the first quarter 2015, compared
with $365.5 million in the first quarter 2014. Excluding the $27.7
million unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign
exchange rates throughout the quarter, gross profit would have been
$375.1 million.
-
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $72.4 million in
the first quarter 2015, compared with $45.8 million in the first
quarter 2014, as lower gross profit was more than offset by lower
operating expenses, both reflecting the impact of year-over-year
changes in foreign exchange rates.
-
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $14.3 million, or
$0.02 per share. Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to common
stockholders was $21.3 million, or $0.03 per share.
-
First quarter 2015 results included $19.5 million of pre-tax
non-operating foreign currency losses, $17.6 million of which was
related to non-cash losses on intercompany balances.
-
Operating cash flow for the trailing twelve months ended March 31,
2015 was $307.8 million. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure,
was $22.4 million in the first quarter 2015, bringing free cash flow
for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2015 to $222.0 million.
-
At the end of the quarter, Groupon had $975.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents.
Definitions and reconciliations of all non-GAAP financial measures are
included below in the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and
in the accompanying tables.
Highlights
-
Units: Global units, defined as vouchers and products sold
before cancellations and refunds, increased 6% year-over-year to 54
million in the first quarter 2015. North America units increased 8%,
EMEA units increased 10% and Rest of World units declined 7%.
-
Active deals: At the end of the first quarter 2015, on average,
active deals were more than 425,000 globally, with over 200,000 in
North America. Both include the addition of nearly 60,000 Coupons.
-
Active customers: Active customers, or customers that have
purchased a voucher or product within the last twelve months, grew 7%
year-over-year, to 48.1 million as of March 31, 2015, comprising 24.6
million in North America, 15.3 million in EMEA, and 8.2 million in
Rest of World.
-
Customer spend: First quarter 2015 trailing twelve month
billings per average active customer was $135, compared with $136 in
the first quarter 2014.
-
Traffic: Approximately 105 million people have now downloaded
Groupon mobile apps worldwide. In addition, monthly unique visitors,
or the count of users accessing Groupon on both web and mobile
devices, was over 160 million globally at the end of the first quarter
2015.
-
Search: In the first quarter 2015, approximately 27% of total
transactions in North America were related to search, compared with
20% in the first quarter 2014.
Ticket Monster Sale
As previously disclosed, on April 20, 2015, Groupon announced the sale
of a controlling stake in Ticket Monster, its South Korean e-commerce
business, for $360 million, to a partnership formed by KKR and
Hong-Kong-based Anchor Equity Partners. Groupon will ultimately retain a
41% fully diluted stake in Ticket Monster, upon vesting of management's
interest. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter
2015, subject to regulatory and customary closing conditions. The
company continues to explore a range of financing and strategic
alternatives for its other Asian businesses, as announced in the third
quarter 2014.
Share Repurchase
During the first quarter 2015, under its existing $300 million share
repurchase program, Groupon repurchased 2,417,700 shares of its Class A
common stock at an average price of $7.67 per share, for an aggregate
purchase price of $18.5 million. Up to $83.0 million of Class A common
stock remains available for repurchase under this program, through
August 2015. In April 2015, Groupon announced that its Board approved a
new $300 million share repurchase program. The new share repurchase
program is subject to, and will be effective upon, the closing of the
proposed Ticket Monster transaction, through August 2017. The timing and
amount of any share repurchases are determined based on market
conditions, share price and other factors, and the programs may be
discontinued or suspended at any time.
Outlook
For the second quarter 2015, reflecting current foreign exchange rates
and the exclusion of Ticket Monster, Groupon expects revenue of between
$700 million and $750 million. This guidance anticipates approximately
800 basis points of unfavorable impact on the year-over-year growth rate
from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Based on current foreign exchange rates, Groupon expects Adjusted EBITDA
for the second quarter 2015 of between $55 million and $75 million, and
non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations of between $0.01
and $0.03.
For the full year 2015, based on current foreign exchange rates and the
exclusion of Ticket Monster, Groupon expects revenue of between $3.15
billion and $3.3 billion. This guidance anticipates approximately 700
basis points of unfavorable impact on the year-over-year growth rate
from changes in foreign exchange rates.
In addition, based on current foreign exchange rates, Groupon continues
to expect Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2015 of greater than $315
million.
Conference Call
A conference call will be webcast live today at 4:00 p.m. CT / 5:00 p.m.
ET, and will be available on Groupon's investor relations website at http://investor.groupon.com.
This call will contain forward-looking statements and other material
information regarding the Company's financial and operating results.
Groupon encourages investors to use its investor relations website as a
way of easily finding information about the company. Groupon promptly
makes available on this website, free of charge, the reports that the
company files or furnishes with the SEC, corporate governance
information (including Groupon's Global Code of Conduct), and select
press releases and social media postings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), we have provided
the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and the
accompanying tables: foreign exchange rate neutral operating results,
adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share.
These non-GAAP financial measures are presented to aid investors in
better understanding Groupon's performance and to facilitate comparisons
to many of our peers who present similar measures. However, these
measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures may be different from non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are
used to identify such measures. For reconciliations of these measures to
the most applicable financial measures under U.S. GAAP, see "Non-GAAP
Reconciliation Schedules" and "Supplemental Financial Information and
Business Metrics" included in the tables accompanying this release.
We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP
financial measures:
Stock-based compensation. We exclude stock-based compensation
because it is primarily non-cash in nature and we believe that non-GAAP
financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental
information about our operating performance and liquidity.
Acquisition-related expense (benefit), net. Acquisition-related
expense (benefit), net is comprised of the change in the fair value of
contingent consideration arrangements and external transaction costs
related to business combinations, primarily consisting of legal and
advisory fees. The composition of our contingent consideration
arrangements and the impact of those arrangements on our operating
results vary over time based on a number of factors, including the terms
of our business combinations and the timing of those transactions. We
exclude acquisition-related expense (benefit), net because we believe
that non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful
supplemental information about our operating performance and facilitate
comparisons to our historical operating results.
Depreciation and amortization. We exclude depreciation and
amortization expenses because they are non-cash in nature and we believe
that non-GAAP financial measures excluding these items provide
meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and
liquidity.
Descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release
and the accompanying tables are as follows:
Foreign exchange rate neutral operating results show our current
period operating results as if foreign currency exchange rates had
remained the same as those in effect in the comparable prior-year
period. We present foreign exchange rate neutral information to
facilitate comparisons to our historical operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as
net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding income taxes,
interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation, and acquisition-related expense (benefit),
net. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar measures
used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify
such measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management
and Board of Directors to evaluate operating performance, generate
future plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of
capital. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful
information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our
operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of
Directors.
Non-GAAP earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP
earnings (loss) per share adjust our net loss attributable to
common stockholders and earnings (loss) per share to exclude the impact
of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible
assets, acquisition-related expense (benefit), net, non-operating
foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany balances and income
(loss) from discontinued operations, and the income tax effect of those
items. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
supplemental information for evaluating our operating performance.
Beginning in the first quarter 2015, we have updated our non-GAAP
earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP
earnings (loss) per share measures to exclude non-operating foreign
currency gains and losses on intercompany balances and income (loss)
from discontinued operations, in addition to stock compensation,
acquisition-related expense (benefit), net, and amortization of acquired
intangibles, which we have excluded historically. We believe that
excluding non-operating foreign currency gains and losses on
intercompany balances provides meaningful supplemental information about
our operating performance because those gains and losses are driven by
changes in currency exchange rates. Additionally, we believe that
excluding income (loss) from discontinued operations provides meaningful
information for evaluating the operating performance of our ongoing
business by excluding the results of operations that are being sold.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that comprises net
cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing
operations less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized
software from continuing operations. We use free cash flow, and ratios
based on it, to conduct and evaluate our business because, although it
is similar to cash flow from operations, we believe that it typically
represents a more useful measure of cash flows because purchases of
fixed assets, software developed for internal-use and website
development costs are necessary components of our ongoing operations.
Free cash flow is not intended to represent the total increase or
decrease in Groupon's cash balance for the applicable period.

|
|
Represents the total dollar value of customer purchases of goods and
services, excluding applicable taxes and net of estimated refunds.
|
(2)

merchants, and deals through local events. Other revenue
transactions include advertising, payment processing, point of sale
and commission revenue.
|
(3)
|
|
Includes third party revenue, direct revenue and other revenue.
Third party revenue is related to sales for which the Company acts
as a marketing agent for the merchant. This revenue is recorded on a
net basis. Direct revenue is primarily related to the sale of
products for which the Company is the merchant of record. These
revenues are accounted for on a gross basis, with the cost of
inventory included in cost of revenue. Other revenue primarily
consists of advertising revenue, payment processing revenue, point
of sale revenue and commission revenue.
|
(4)
|
|
Represents third party revenue, direct revenue and other revenue
reduced by cost of revenue. Cost of revenue is comprised of direct
and certain indirect costs incurred to generate revenue. Third party
cost of revenue includes estimated refunds for which the merchant's
share is not recoverable. Direct cost of revenue includes the cost
of inventory, shipping and fulfillment costs and inventory
markdowns. Other costs incurred to generate revenue are allocated to
cost of third party and other revenue and direct revenue for each of
our categories (Local, Goods, and Travel) in proportion to gross
billings during the period.
|

had average exchange rates in the reporting periods been the same as
those in effect in the prior year period.

The definition, methodology and appropriateness of each of our

are subject to removal and/or change.
