Bazaarvoice, Inc. Announces its Financial Results for the Fourth Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2014


Fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 and recent strategic highlights include:

  • Achieved revenue of $47.1 million which includes revenues from the PowerReviews business, exceeding guidance
  • Signed definitive agreement to divest PowerReviews for $30.0 million in cash
  • Completed the strategic acquisition of FeedMagnet
  • Achieved record quarter for client launches and net new client additions
  • Launched three new products at our annual client summit   

AUSTIN, Texas, June 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bazaarvoice, Inc. (Nasdaq:BV), the network connecting brands and retailers to the authentic voices of consumers wherever they shop, reported its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2014.

"The fourth quarter was our best quarter of the year on many fronts. We exceeded our revenue guidance, achieved great performance in net new client additions and customer launches, and delivered a nice year over year improvement in our adjusted EBITDA loss," said Gene Austin, chief executive officer and president. "Given the strength of the fourth quarter, the launch of new offerings, and our overall view of the business heading into fiscal year 2015, we believe we are at or near our revenue growth rate bottom and we are confident our revenue growth rates will begin to accelerate by the third quarter of this fiscal year at the latest."

Fourth Fiscal Quarter of 2014 Financial Details

On April 24, 2014, we entered into a Joint Stipulation with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") to resolve the DOJ's claims in the antitrust action challenging our 2012 acquisition of PowerReviews, Inc. ("PowerReviews") and, together with the DOJ, we submitted a proposed order to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Court").  Under the terms of the Joint Stipulation and the proposed order, we are required to divest all of the net assets of the PowerReviews business. As a result of this, in accordance with accounting guidance, we have reported the results of operations and financial position of PowerReviews as discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets for all periods presented. Accordingly, PowerReviews revenues, related expenses and an estimated loss on disposal, net of tax, are components of "loss from discontinued operations" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. On the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheets the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations of PowerReviews have been presented as 'Assets held for sale' and 'Liabilities held for sale,' respectively. The statement of cash flows is reported on a combined basis without separately presenting cash flows from discontinued operations. 

For more information regarding discontinued operations, see the Frequently Asked Questions posted on the "Quarterly Results" section of our Investor Relations website at investors.bazaarvoice.com. Summary data below describes results from continuing operations and excludes results from discontinued operations.

Non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share from continuing operations: Non-GAAP net loss was $25.8 million, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $24.2 million for fiscal year 2013. Non-GAAP net loss per share was $0.34 based upon weighted average shares outstanding of 75.6 million, compared to $0.35 for the fiscal year 2013 based upon weighted average shares outstanding of 69.3 million.

Clients: The number of active clients at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2014 was 1,133 and the number of network clients at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year 2014 was over 1,500. Annualized SaaS revenue per average active client for the fiscal year 2014 was approximately $156,000.

Number of Active Clients

Beginning as of our fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we now define an active client as an organization from which we are currently recognizing recurring revenue, and we count organizations that are closely related as one client, even if they have signed separate contractual agreements. We believe that our ability to increase our active client base is a leading indicator of our ability to grow revenue.

Further, due to the presentation of the PowerReviews business as discontinued operations, we have separated our active clients into two categories: 1) active clients from continuing operations and 2) active clients from discontinued operations. As a result of this analysis, each category could include a common client who may have organizations for which we recognized recurring revenue that have separate signed contractual agreements.

All prior periods discussed in this press release or presented in the accompanying financial tables have been revised to conform to the current period definition of an active client.

Number of Network Clients

We define a network client as an organization that does not have recurring revenue. We count organizations that are closely related as one client, even if they have signed separate contractual agreements. We believe that our network client base in combination with our active client base is an indicator of the reach of our network.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations discussed in this press release is defined as our GAAP net loss from continuing operations adjusted for stock-based expense, contingent consideration related to acquisition, adjusted depreciation and amortization (which excludes amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs), integration and other costs related to acquisitions, other non-business costs and benefits, income tax expense and other (income) expense, net.

Adjusted EBITDA for discontinuing operations presented in the accompanying financial tables is defined as our GAAP net loss from discontinued operations adjusted for stock-based expense, adjusted depreciation and amortization (which excludes amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs), impairment of acquired intangibles, integration and other costs related to the acquisition and the divestiture of PowerReviews, estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations, other non-business costs and benefits, income tax expense and other (income) expense, net.

Non-GAAP net loss for continuing operations, which is used to calculate non-GAAP net loss per share for continuing operations, is defined as our GAAP net loss from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude stock-based expense, contingent consideration related to acquisition, amortization of acquired intangible assets, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, and other non-business costs and benefits along with the associated income tax effect of these adjustments.

Non-GAAP net loss for discontinued operations, which is used to calculate non-GAAP net loss per share for discontinued operations, is defined as our GAAP net loss from discontinued operations adjusted to exclude stock-based expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of acquired intangibles, integration and other costs related to the acquisition and divestiture of PowerReviews, estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations and other non-business costs and benefits along with the associated income tax effect of these adjustments.

Management presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of core operating performance. Further management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures separately for discontinued operations as it may prove useful to securities analyst and investors in evaluating the impact of the anticipated divestiture of PowerReviews on the company's continuing operating performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company's operating performance against prior periods and the effectiveness of our business strategies, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments, as well as in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for securities analysts and investors in evaluating the company's financial and operational performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate these non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner. We intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future financial results discussions and; therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the accompanying tables.

Revaluation of contingent consideration is the decrease in fair value of the liability-classified contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Longboard Media, Inc. Contingent consideration included in compensation expense relates to certain Longboard Media, Inc. employees whose right to receive such compensation is forfeited if they terminate their employment. The contingent consideration was payable on Longboard Media's achievement of certain performance goals for the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. On October 31, 2013, the Company determined that the probability of the attainment of the underlying performance goals was remote and the resultant payout was estimated to be zero. As a result, the fair value of the liability-classified contingent consideration and the liability accrued for contingent consideration included in compensation expense were reduced to zero. On January 31, 2014, the Company concluded that the underlying performance goals were not met and the payout was zero. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to facilitate the comparison of post-acquisition operating results.

Since the estimated liability directly relates to stock option grants and as stock-based expenses are consistently excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures, we have excluded this estimated liability.
(4) Prior to the classification as "assets held for sale", the Company determined that the carrying value of the asset group exceeded the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment change of $2.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014.
(5) Estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations has been determined by estimating proceeds from selling the PowerReviews business, net of any associated transaction costs, less the net carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale as of April 30, 2014. Any material change between the estimated proceeds used for determining the loss on disposal and the actual proceeds due to the timing of executing a definitive agreement with a prospective buyer on or around the date of this 8-K filing may result in a revision of this estimated loss. Any such revisions will be reflected in the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 and, if required, an amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Revaluation of contingent consideration is the decrease in fair value of the liability-classified contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Longboard Media, Inc. Contingent consideration included in compensation expense relates to certain Longboard Media, Inc. employees whose right to receive such compensation is forfeited if they terminate their employment. The contingent consideration was payable to Longboard Media's achievement of certain performance goals for the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. On October 31, 2013, the Company determined that the probability of the attainment of the underlying performance goals was remote and the resultant payout was estimated to be zero. As a result, the fair value of the liability-classified contingent consideration and the liability accrued for contingent consideration included in compensation expense were reduced to zero. On January 31, 2014, the Company concluded that the underlying performance goals were not met and the payout was zero. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to facilitate the comparison of post-acquisition operating results.

Other stock-related expense represents an estimated liability for taxes and related items in connection with our treatment of certain stock option grants. Since the estimated liability directly relates to stock option grants and as stock-based expenses are consistently excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures, we have excluded this estimated liability.
(7) Beginning as of our fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we now define an active client as an organization from which we are currently recognizing recurring revenue, and we count organizations that are closely related as one client, even if they have signed separate contractual agreements. We believe that our ability to increase our active client base is a leading indicator of our ability to grow revenue.
Further, due to the presentation of the PowerReviews business as discontinued operations, we have separated our active clients into two categories: 1) active clients from continuing operations and 2) active clients from discontinued operations. As a result of this analysis, each category could include a common client who may have organizations for which we recognized recurring revenue that have separate signed contractual agreements.
All prior periods discussed in this press release or presented in the accompanying financial tables have been revised to conform to the current period definition of an active client.
(8) The Company compared the carrying value of the asset group included in "assets held for sale" to the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset group. The carrying value of the asset group exceeded the undiscounted cash flows and as a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014.
 
(9) Estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations has been determined by estimating proceeds from selling the PowerReviews business, net of any associated transaction costs, less the net carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale as of April 30, 2014. Any material change between the estimated proceeds used for determining the loss on disposal and the actual proceeds due to the timing of executing a definitive agreement with a prospective buyer on or around the date of this 8-K filing may result in a revision of this estimated loss. Any such revisions will be reflected in the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 and, if required, an amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
