Monster Worldwide Reports Second Quarter and Six Months 2008 Results

NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:MNST) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter Results

Total revenue grew 9% to $354 million, from $324 million in the comparable quarter of 2007. Consolidated revenue excludes any revenue contribution from the Tickle business, which was recorded as a discontinued operation in the second quarter. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, total revenue grew 4% over the prior year period.



Monster Careers revenue increased 10% to $321 million, compared with $291 million in last year's second quarter. Careers International revenue, which now accounts for 44% of consolidated revenue, grew 34% over the prior year period, or 23% excluding the benefits of currency, to $157 million. North American Careers revenue was $164 million compared with $174 million in last year's second quarter. Internet Advertising & Fees revenue was $33 million, up slightly over last year's comparable quarter. Historical results of the Internet Advertising & Fees segment have been restated for all periods to reflect the wind-down of Tickle.

Monster Worldwide's deferred revenue balance at June 30, 2008 grew 4% to $470 million over last year's second quarter balance of $452 million. Excluding the effect of foreign currency benefits, deferred revenue was flat compared to the prior year period.



Consolidated operating expenses were $323 million and income from continuing operations was $19 million, or $0.15 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $29 million or $0.22 per diluted share in the comparable 2007 period. The effect of foreign exchange rates benefited consolidated operating income by approximately $4 million, compared to approximately $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2007.

Included in operating results is $47 million of pre-tax, pro forma expenses, or $0.25 per diluted share. The Company recorded $44 million related to its historical stock option grant practices, of which the great majority is associated with the proposed settlements of outstanding lawsuits against the Company, as described below. The Company also incurred $3 million of costs related to its restructuring plan. These pro forma adjustments are described in the "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and are reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the accompanying tables. Excluding these costs, consolidated operating expenses were $276 million and income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2008 was $49 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $43 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the prior year.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had $533 million of cash, cash equivalents and available for sale securities compared with $499 million at March 31, 2008. Approximately $99 million of auction rate securities are classified as a long-term asset on the consolidated balance sheet, and are included in the cash and securities balance as of June 30, 2008. Cash generated from operating activities was $71 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $53 million generated in the prior year period. Capital expenditures were $30 million and increased 91% over the prior year period, reflecting the Company's increased investments in technology and infrastructure.

Sal Iannuzzi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monster Worldwide, said, "Despite lower demand due to the economic slowdown, we were pleased with the margin expansion and strong earnings growth posted in the second quarter. During the quarter, we devoted significant resources and made substantial progress in the areas of product innovation, customer service initiatives and sales force expansion to enhance our industry leading global position. At the same time, we accomplished a key corporate objective by slowing the growth rate of Non-GAAP operating expenses, and bringing costs in line with revenue."

Legal Settlements

In a separate news release today, the Company announced that on July 30, 2008, it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the class action representative and the individual defendants setting forth the settlement terms of the shareholder securities class action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York relating to the Company's historical stock option granting practices. The Memorandum of Understanding provides for a settlement of the shareholder securities class action at a net cost to the Company of approximately $25 million. The parties will enter into a formal Settlement Agreement incorporating the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding in the near future and thereafter seek Court approval.

Additionally, the Company announced that on July 28, 2008, the New York State Supreme Court gave preliminary approval to the settlement of the New York State and Federal court derivative lawsuits, the terms of which were previously announced. A final hearing to approve the settlement will be held on October 2, 2008. Commenting on these legal settlements, Mr. Iannuzzi added, "We are extremely gratified by these developments, look forward to the resolution of the remaining actions relating to the Company's historical stock option granting practices as quickly as possible and are eager to focus our energies on the continued evolution of the Company."

Trovix, Inc. Acquisition

Additionally, the Company announced separately that it has acquired Trovix, Inc., a leading provider of employment products and services using intelligent search technologies, for $72.5 million in cash. The implementation of Trovix's technology will enable Monster to provide employers and job seekers with innovative search capabilities that will simplify the recruiting process by providing highly relevant and targeted matches.

Six Months Results

Monster Worldwide reported total revenue of $721 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $646 million in the comparable period last year, a 12% increase, or 7% before the benefit of foreign exchange rates. Monster Careers revenue grew 13% to $658 million compared with $582 million in the 2007 period. Internet Advertising & Fees reported revenue of $63 million, a decrease of 2% over the prior year period. The Company reported income from continuing operations of $42 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to $70 million or $0.53 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Mr. Iannuzzi concluded, "We anticipate that we will continue to operate in a difficult environment in the near-term. However, we are committed to investing in critical areas that will provide a superior job seeker experience, and deliver the best products and services to our employers. We are increasingly optimistic about our long-term growth prospects and believe that our ongoing investments and recent developments with respect to the resolution of some of our key outstanding litigation will benefit our customers, shareholders and associates now and in the future."

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Monster Worldwide, 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 ("GAAP") and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

Non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share all exclude certain pro forma adjustments including: ongoing costs associated with the stock option investigations, related litigation and potential fines or settlements; severance costs for former executive officers incurred in the second quarter of 2007; costs related to the measures taken by the Company in response to a security breach in August 2007; and the strategic restructuring actions initiated in the third quarter of 2007. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures for reviewing the ongoing results of the Company's core business operations and in certain instances, for measuring performance under certain of the Company's incentive compensation plans. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Operating income before depreciation and amortization ("OIBDA") is defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of stock based compensation and non-cash costs incurred in connection with the Company's restructuring program. The Company considers OIBDA to be an important indicator of its operational strength. This measure eliminates the effects of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of stock based compensation and non-cash restructuring costs from period to period, which the Company believes is useful to management and investors in evaluating its operating performance. OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is considered a liquidity measure and provides useful information about the Company's ability to generate cash after investments in property and equipment. Free cash flow reflected herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Free cash flow does not reflect the total change in the Company's cash position for the period and should not be considered a substitute for such a measure.

Special Note: Except for historical information contained herein, the statements made in this release, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company's strategic direction, prospects and future results. Certain factors, including factors outside of our control, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including economic and other conditions in the markets in which we operate, risks associated with acquisitions or dispositions, competition, ongoing costs associated with the stock option investigations and lawsuits, costs associated with the restructuring and security breach, and the other risks discussed in our Form 10-K and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which discussions are incorporated in this release by reference.

Note Regarding ProForma Adjustments:
ProForma adjustments consist of the following:
a Costs associated with the ongoing investigation into the Company's
  historical stock option granting practices, and costs associated
  with the remediation of a security breach related to the Company's
  resume database in August 2007.
b Provision for costs associated with the proposed and anticipated
  legal settlements related to the stock option litigation, net of
  recoveries.
c Restructuring related charges pertain to the strategic
  restructuring actions that the Company announced on July 30, 2007.
  These charges include costs related to the reduction in the
  Company's workforce, fixed asset write-offs, costs relating to the
  consolidation of certain office facilities, contract termination
  costs, relocation costs and professional fees.
d Income tax adjustment is calculated using the effective tax rate of
  the reported period multiplied by the ProForma adjustment to
  income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity
  interest.
*Diluted earnings per share may not add in certain periods due to
 rounding.
