MOVE Movano Inc

Move, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOVE) reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

The leader in online real estate reported revenue for the third quarter of $52.9 million, compared to $61.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $753,000, compared to a loss of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. Net loss applicable to common stockholders was $758,000, or $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $22.7 million, or a loss of $0.15 per share in the third quarter of 2008.

Move's Adjusted EBITDA (earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, stock-based compensation and charges, depreciation, amortization and other non-recurring charges) on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2009 was $5.6 million, or 11% of revenue, compared to $5.7 million, or 9% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2008. The Company has reported Adjusted EBITDA because management uses it to monitor and assess the Company's performance and believes it is helpful to investors in understanding the Company's business.

"The third quarter in 2009 was another very busy quarter for Move, as we continued to build the foundation for executing our long term growth strategy while keeping a short term focus on revenue, managing expenses and delivering positive Adjusted EBITDA," said Steve Berkowitz, chief executive officer at Move, Inc. “In the past few months, we’ve completed our executive management team by adding seasoned leaders who will run our technology and product operations, launched new services for our real estate customers to help them build their businesses and deepen their relationship with consumers, and began an extensive internal process to better align our business operations and integrate our sales functions across all product lines. At the same time, we have successfully maintained our clear market leadership position, as evidenced by the most recent data that shows Move continues to maintain a dominant position in terms of users, minutes on site and pages viewed.”

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Move today provided preliminary guidance for the quarter ending December 31, 2009. For the quarter ending December 31, 2009, Move expects revenue to range between $47 and $48 million, with an expected Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 9% - 10%.

Move also provided preliminary guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. The Company currently expects revenue to range between $184 million and $192 million, with an expected Adjusted EBITDA target of approximately 10%.

“We will exit 2009 with a more stable cost structure and a greater focus on delivering consistent cash flow,” stated Rob Krolik, chief financial officer. “We have eliminated several unprofitable revenue sources through a series of divestments and partnerships in 2009. With a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned to continue making strategic investments in long term growth until we begin to benefit from our initiatives to refocus our company, launch new products for our customers, and take advantage of our clear position as the leading online real estate company.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), Move uses a non-GAAP measure of income (loss) from continuing operations excluding restructuring, impairment of long-lived assets, litigation settlement charges and certain other non-cash and non-recurring items, principally depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and other charges, which is referred to as Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has also presented a non-GAAP table of Financial Data for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 that extracts stock-based compensation under ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation" (Previously SFAS 123R "Share Based Payment"). A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the attached tables. These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of Move's current financial performance and its prospects for the future and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are the primary basis management uses for planning and forecasting its future operations. Move believes these non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that it believes are not indicative of its core operating results and a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters and should be carefully evaluated.
