Intersections Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2017 Results

  • $160 million consolidated revenue for full year 2017
  • $40 million fourth quarter 2017 consolidated revenue, up 1.9% compared to third quarter 2017
  • 1.1 million subscribers as of December 31, 2017

CHANTILLY, Va.--()--Intersections Inc. (NASDAQ: INTX) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

“I am very pleased with the fourth quarter 2017 results, posting an increase in total revenue compared to the third quarter, generating consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes of $1.3 million after six consecutive loss quarters, and reporting adjusted EBITDA of $4.0 million, which is the highest of the last eight quarters,” said Michael R. Stanfield, Executive Chairman and President. “After navigating the shock to our business from the regulatory impact of the CFPB, and the disappointing results of our non-identity theft protection ventures, Intersections has effectively invested in and built new and innovative tools for the world of identity fraud and data theft.” Mr. Stanfield continued, “New marketing channels, an invigorated team, and the highest level of compromised data and identity crimes in history are creating a significant opportunity for success.”

Key Accomplishments and Developments:

  • The Identity Guard® with Watson™ technology platform and product suite was launched on June 26, 2017. During the fourth quarter, development activities were completed to expand the Identity Guard® with Watson™ platform to offer consumers both an entry level service, Value, and a premium service, Premier, in addition to our Total service plan. All three tiers of service for Identity Guard® with Watson™ include an option for a robust family coverage service. The Identity Guard® with Watson™ product suite is now the Company’s primary offering.
  • Successfully completed first business development campaign working with employers and their employee benefits advisors to make Identity Guard® offerings available to employees across the U.S. New employer programs acquired were launched in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018. As of December 31, 2017, contracts were in place with employers with approximately 170,000 eligible employees.
  • Significantly advanced the transformation of sales and marketing capabilities by continuing to invest in in-house business development capabilities covering employee benefits, partner and breach channels as well as the client support team. The cumulative month’s experience with Intersections of the employee benefits sales team more than doubled from 40 months to over 100 months during 2017 and the distribution network was significantly expanded by establishing relationships with 15 national and over 125 regional/local employee benefits advisors and brokerages.
  • The completion of the divestiture program in the third quarter of 2017 eliminated discontinued operations that used cash of $2.4 million and $17.2 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Consolidated Fourth Quarter and Year-to-Date Results:

Consolidated revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $40.0 million, compared to $42.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $1.3 million, compared to $(1.2) million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $4.0 million, compared to $2.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Basic and diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $0.13, compared to $(0.06) for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $159.6 million, compared to $175.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $(13.7) million, compared to $(3.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $3.2 million, compared to $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Basic and diluted loss from continuing operations per share for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $(0.49), compared to $(0.15) for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Consolidated Fourth Quarter Highlights:

  • Identity Guard® subscriber revenue was $13.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to $12.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and $12.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The Identity Guard® subscriber base was 359 thousand subscribers as of December 31, 2017, compared to 338 thousand subscribers as of September 30, 2017. The increase in the subscriber base was primarily from growth in the direct to consumer and employee benefits channels.
  • Revenue from U.S. financial institution clients was $20.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to revenue of $20.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Revenue decreased on average by 1.2% per month during the fourth quarter, which the Company believes is representative of normal attrition given the discontinuation of marketing and retention efforts for this population.
  • Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $1.3 million, compared to $(3.0) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, and $(1.2) million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $4.0 million, compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and $2.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The fourth quarter marked the third consecutive quarter of improvement in Adjusted EBITDA and the second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity:

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a cash balance of $8.5 million, and an outstanding principal balance of $21.5 million under its new credit agreement, as amended. Cash (used in) operating activities of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $(50) thousand. Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $1.8 million.

The Company began expanding its business development capabilities in 2016 to address market channel and distribution opportunities and continued the expansion of this team in 2017. As a result, cash used in operating activities for the year includes approximately $4.7 million for business development activities, the significant majority of which is personnel cost. The Company expects to continue its spending on business development activities at approximately the same level as 2017 for 2018.

Cash used in operating activities included $6.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2017 for deferred subscription and solicitation costs related to our direct-to-consumer marketing, including $595 thousand in the fourth quarter. The Company implemented changes beginning in the second quarter to reduce the cash marketing spending in this channel and expects the use of cash for this purpose to continue to decline into 2018.

The Company continued to develop new product features primarily for the Identity Guard® with Watson platform during the year ended December 31, 2017. As a result, the Company invested approximately $4.5 million in internally developed capitalized software for the year. The Company expects to continue its investments in product development at approximately the same level as 2017 for 2018.

Intersections Inc.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The tables below include financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), as well as other financial measures referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) is presented in a manner consistent with the way management evaluates operating results and which management believes is useful to investors and others. Share related compensation includes non-cash share based compensation. An explanation regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to GAAP measures is provided below. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income (loss), general and administrative expense, and the other information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management strongly encourages shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA represents consolidated (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes plus (minus): share related compensation; non-cash impairment of goodwill, intangibles and other assets; loss on disposal of fixed assets; (gain) loss on sale of Captira Analytical and Habits at Work; loss on extinguishment of debt; (benefit) from change in vacation policy; depreciation and amortization; and interest expense. We believe that the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA calculation provides useful information to investors because they are indicators of our operating performance, and we use these measures in communications with our board of directors, creditors, investors and others concerning our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a basis for investors and analysts to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies within our industry. Our Board of Directors and management use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. In addition, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our Credit Agreement with PEAK6 Investments, L.P., as amended, is used to measure covenant compliance.

We provide this information to show the impact of share related compensation on our operating results, as it is excluded from our internal operating and budgeting plans and measurements of financial performance; however, we do consider the dilutive impact to our shareholders when awarding share related compensation and consider both the Black-Scholes value and GAAP value (to the extent applicable) in connection therewith, and value such awards accordingly.

INTERSECTIONS INC.
OTHER DATA, continued
(unaudited)

We do not consider share related compensation charges when we evaluate the performance of our individual business groups or formulate our short and long-term operating plans. Due to its nature, individual managers generally are unable to project the impact of share related compensation and accordingly we do not hold them accountable for the impact of equity award grants. When we consider making share related compensation grants, we primarily take into account the need to attract and retain high quality employees, overall shareholder dilution and the Black-Scholes values of the equity grant to the recipient, rather than the potential accounting charges associated with such grants. For comparability purposes, we believe it is useful to provide a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes share related compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to compare our results to the results of our peer companies because of varying available valuation methodologies and the variety of award types that companies can use under GAAP. Furthermore, the value of share related compensation is determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA when read in conjunction with our reported GAAP results can provide useful supplemental information to our management, to investors and to our lenders regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations due to the fact it does not include all compensation related expenses. For example, if we only paid cash based compensation as opposed to a portion in share related compensation, the cash compensation expense included in our general and administrative expenses would be higher. We compensate for this limitation by providing information required by GAAP about outstanding share based awards in the footnotes to our financial statements in our SEC filings. We believe equity based compensation is an important element of our compensation program and all forms of share related awards are valued and included as appropriate in our operating results.

The following tables reconcile consolidated (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, for the previous eight quarters through December 31, 2017. The information in the following tables is presented giving effect to the disposal of Voyce, with its historical financial results reflected as discontinued operations. We made adjustments to our historical financial results for certain costs and overhead allocations to either discontinued or continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2017; for additional information, please see "Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Consolidation" in our most recent Form 10-Q. In managing our business, we analyze our performance quarterly on a consolidated income (loss) before income tax basis.

In the second quarter of 2016, we ceased adding other expense (income) to consolidated loss before income taxes as part of our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, to be consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in our Prior Credit Agreement. Prior periods have been recast to reflect the new presentation. For additional information, please see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our most recent Form 10-Q.
