Rosetta Stone Inc. Reports First Quarter 2016 Results
 
Net loss narrows 62% year-over-year as management takes action to realize $19.0 million in additional annualized cost reductions announced in March 2016

ARLINGTON, VA — May 4, 2016 — Rosetta Stone Inc. (NYSE: RST), a world leader in technology-based learning solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. Revenue in the first quarter 2016 totaled $48.0 million, down 18% from $58.4 million in the year-ago period. First quarter 2016 net loss totaled $7.5 million, a 62% improvement over the net loss of $19.9 million in the year-ago period. Included in the first quarter 2016 net loss were restructuring charges and other related costs totaling $2.8 million (pre-tax), compared to $6.7 million (pre-tax) of restructuring and impairment charges and other related costs in the year-ago period. Earnings per diluted share in the first quarter 2016 totaled $(0.34), a 64% improvement over $(0.95) per diluted share in the first quarter 2015. Excluding these non-recurring items, the after-tax net loss would have been $4.9 million in the first quarter 2016, a 64% improvement over the net loss of $13.7 million in the same quarter last year.

First Quarter 2016 Overview
Revenue at Lexia, the Company’s Literacy segment, grew 82% year-over-year to $7.6 million, reflecting a 40% year-over-year increase in the number of active monthly students using Lexia Reading Core5. Lexia’s growth rate includes the benefit of purchase accounting, which had the effect of lowering revenue in the year-ago period. Excluding the effects of purchase accounting on acquired deferred revenue, Lexia’s first quarter revenue and revenue growth would have been $9.0 million and 38%, respectively
Enterprise & Education ("E&E") Language segment contribution margin, excluding Lexia, improved to $6.1 million or 33% of segment revenue, compared to $4.2 million or 22% of segment revenue in the year-ago period. The improved profitability in the E&E Language segment was primarily due to lower operating expenses
Total selling, administrative and research expenses (the sum total of sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses) declined 26% year-over-year. The first quarter reduction in selling, administrative and research expenses contributed to a total 12-month reduction of $65.0 million or 25% compared to the 12 months ended March 31, 2015. Excluding restructuring and other related costs, net selling, administrative and research expenses declined $13.0 million year-over-year in the first quarter and $62.4 million for the 12-months ended March 31, 2016
Net loss improved 62% year-over-year to $7.5 million or $(0.34) per diluted share; first quarter 2016 results include a $2.4 million pre-tax charge reflecting the initial actions under the plan announced in March 2016 to further focus the Company’s E&E Language segment to improve its profitability and position it for future growth. If the Company’s plans are fully realized, the previously announced 2016 restructuring actions will reduce headcount by approximately 17% of the Company’s full-time workforce at December 31, 2015, and result in annualized cost savings of approximately $19.0 million
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, improved $5.1 million or 77% year-over-year to $(1.6) million
The Company ended the quarter with $43.0 million in cash and cash equivalents with zero debt outstanding
“I am pleased to report our fourth consecutive quarter of improved financial results, reflecting the focus and commitment of everyone involved to transform Rosetta Stone and position the Company for future profitability,” said John Hass, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the first quarter, we demonstrated that we are delivering the initial $65.0 million annualized cost savings target announced last year and took actions to deliver the approximately $19.0 million of incremental annualized cost savings that were announced in March 2016. At the same time, we are making substantial investments to enhance our core products across our businesses in order to improve learning outcomes and position the Company for future growth.”

First Quarter 2016 Review
Revenue: Total revenue declined 18% year-over-year to $48.0 million due almost entirely to the expected decline in Consumer segment revenue. Literacy segment revenue grew 82% year-over-year to $7.6 million, as a result of strong demand for Lexia's updated suite of products, continued high renewal rates, and the Company’s investment to increase the size of Lexia’s direct sales force. Adjusted revenue for the Literacy segment grew to $9.0 million, a growth rate of 38% year-over-year, excluding the effect of purchase accounting on acquired deferred revenue.
Lexia, acquired in August 2013, was previously included in the Company’s E&E segment information.
E&E Language segment revenue, excluding Lexia, decreased 4% year-over-year to $18.3 million. The decline was due to lower sales outside of North America, partially reflecting the Company’s March 2016 decision to exit its direct presence in almost all of its non-U.S. and non-northern European geographies. Where appropriate, the Company will seek to operate through partners in those geographies being exited. Higher revenue in North America partially offset the overseas decline, driven by a 9% year-over-year increase in education language revenue to $7.3 million in the first quarter 2016.
Consumer segment revenue declined 37% year-over-year to $22.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to the shift in strategy announced in March 2015, whereby management has been operating the Consumer segment for improved profitability, not size, by conducting fewer promotional campaigns and lowering the amount of media spend. In addition to the lower volume, the Company’s success in shifting the unit mix from product-based to subscription-based sales also contributed to the overall Consumer revenue decline, due to the timing of revenue recognition; product-based sales are recognized in the period sold, whereas subscription-based sales are recognized ratably over the entire subscription period, which is currently typically two years. During the first quarter 2016, the mix of subscription units increased to 25%, up from 23% in the year-ago period. Subscriptions sold through the Company's website are preferable as they do not require physical inventory, saving the expense of packaging and distribution; they also provide a better customer experience that is accessible anywhere through the cloud and always up-to-date.

Net Loss: The first quarter 2016 net loss improved to $7.5 million or $(0.34) per diluted share, compared to the net loss of $19.9 million or $(0.95) per diluted share in the year-ago period. Included in the first quarter 2016 net loss were restructuring charges and other related costs totaling $2.8 million (pre-tax), compared to $6.7 million (pre-tax) of restructuring and impairment charges and other related costs in the year-ago period. Total operating expenses were $48.1 million in the first quarter 2016, a reduction of $17.0 million or 26% year-over-year. Decreases were realized in all operating expense categories, reflecting the Company’s ongoing efforts to return to future profitability; sales and marketing expense was down $9.4 million or 23%, research and development expense was down $2.4 million or 27%, and general and administrative expense was down $5.0 million or 32% on a year-over-year basis.

Balance Sheet: The Company had zero debt and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $43.0 million at March 31, 2016. Deferred revenue totaled $132.3 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $142.7 million at December 31, 2015. The decline largely reflected a $12.6 million year-over-year reduction in Consumer segment bookings; the first quarter has historically been the Company’s seasonally slowest bookings period. Short-term deferred revenue, which will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months, totaled $99.3 million or approximately 75% of the total March 31, 2016 balance.
 
Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA: Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $(5.1) million in the first quarter 2016, compared to $(15.7) million in the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $(1.6) million in the first quarter, compared to $(6.7) million in the year-ago period. The Company’s cash flow is typically seasonal, with a net use of cash during the first half of the year and positive cash generation during the second half of the year.

In addition, forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current assumptions, expectations and beliefs and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our present expectations or projections.

We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements, risks and uncertainties that are more fully described in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent quarterly Form 10-Q filings and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as such factors may be updated from time to time.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company uses, and this press release contains references to, the non-GAAP financial measures of financial performance listed below.
Bookings represent executed sales contracts received by the Company that are either recorded immediately as revenue or as deferred revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income/(loss) plus interest income and expense, other income/expense, income tax benefit and expense, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA excludes impairments, any items related to the litigation with Google Inc., consulting and other related costs associated with the development and implementation of the accelerated strategy and cost reductions, restructuring and related wind down costs, severance costs, and transaction and other costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, as well as all adjustments related to recording the non-cash tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been revised to conform to current definition.
Free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities minus cash used in purchases of property and equipment.
Segment contribution includes segment revenue and expenses incurred directly by the segment, including material costs, service costs, customer care and coaching costs, sales and marketing expenses, and bad debt expense.
Adjusted revenue in the Literacy segment is revenue, excluding the effects of purchase accounting on acquired deferred revenue.
Adjusted segment contribution in the Literacy segment is segment contribution, excluding the effects of purchase accounting on acquired deferred revenue and deferred commissions.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, enabling a better understanding of the long-term performance of the Company’s business. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other software and education-technology companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
The presentation of this additional financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing earnings information, including this press release, or in corresponding earnings presentations, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies, and we encourage you to review and understand all our financial reporting before making any investment decision.
