"We are pleased to report our fourth consecutive year of record revenues, operating income and adjusted OIBDA," said Mark R. Goldston, chairman, CEO and president of United Online. "Our access business continued to generate significant cash flows and profitability while the growth we experienced in 2005 was driven by our diversification into non-access businesses, particularly our Classmates social networking unit. During the fourth quarter we launched our VoIP initiative under the NetZero Voice brand name, which grew to 14,000 subscriptions and 44,000 active accounts at December 31, 2005. Going forward, we intend to continue to invest in our diversification strategy while maintaining our overall corporate focus on disciplined financial results."
"United Online grew its social networking and other web service pay accounts by 25% during 2005 and completed the year with these non-access businesses representing 43% of our total pay account base," said Charles S. Hilliard, executive vice president and CFO of United Online. "Beyond growing our non-access businesses in 2005, we also demonstrated our ability to manage the profitability and cash flow contribution of our access business, which declined by a net 125,000 pay accounts during the fourth quarter."
Additional Highlights:
-- Billable services margin(6) was 78.1% for the December 2005
quarter, versus 78.7% for the year-ago quarter.
-- Cash balances at December 31, 2005 were $244.4 million, including
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. During the
quarter, the company repaid $4.1 million of its senior term loan
facility, bringing the balance of the facility to $54.2 million at
December 31, 2005. On January 3, 2006, the company retired the
remaining $54.2 million balance on its senior term loan facility.
Business Outlook:
The following forward-looking information includes certain projections made by management as of the date of this release. United Online does not intend to revise or update this information and may not provide this type of information in the future. Due to a variety of factors, actual results may differ significantly from those projected. Factors include, without limitation, the factors referenced later in this announcement under the caption "Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." These and other factors are discussed in more detail in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stock-based compensation includes the estimated impact of expensing stock options under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment", which the company adopted effective January 1, 2006.
Following is the company's guidance for the March 2006 quarter and the year ending December 31, 2006:
---------------- ----------------
(in millions) Mar '06 Q Est. CY'06 Est.
---------------- ----------------
Operating income $16.8 -- $18.8 $73.6 -- $79.6
Depreciation 4.8 20.5
Amortization 4.4 15.9
Stock-based compensation 6.0 21.0

Adjusted operating income
before depreciation and
amortization(1) $32.0 -- $34.0 $131.0 -- $137.0
---------------- ----------------
Weighted average diluted
shares 66.5 -- 67.5 67.5 -- 68.5
-- Total revenues for the March 2006 quarter are estimated to be
between approximately $125 million and approximately $128 million.
-- The company estimates that total pay accounts will be between
approximately 5.0 million and approximately 5.1 million at March
31, 2006.
(1) Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (adjusted OIBDA) is defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and facility-exit costs. Management believes that because adjusted OIBDA excludes (1) certain non-cash expenses (such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation); and (2) items that management believes are not reflective of the company's core operating results over time (non-recurring facility-exit costs in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004 related to the relocation of the company's corporate offices), this measure provides investors with additional useful information to measure the company's performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period. Management uses adjusted OIBDA to measure the company's performance and previously monitored adjusted OIBDA to ensure compliance with specific financial performance covenants under its term loan, which was repaid in January 2006. The company's Board of Directors uses this measure in determining certain compensation incentives for certain members of the company's management. Adjusted OIBDA is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation associated with the use of adjusted OIBDA is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company's business. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures such as capital expenditures and purchase accounting. An additional limitation associated with this measure is that it does not include stock compensation expenses related to the company's workforce. Management compensates for this limitation by providing supplemental information about stock compensation expense on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Management does not believe either of these limitations is material, particularly when such measure is disclosed with its most comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income. A reconciliation to operating income is provided in the accompanying tables.
(2) A pay account represents a unique billing relationship with a customer who subscribes to one or more of the company's services. A pay account does not equate to a unique subscriber since one subscriber could have several pay accounts. Active accounts are defined as all free access, VoIP, social network and email users that logged on to our services at least once during the preceding 31 days, together with all pay accounts. Additionally, active accounts include the number of free Web sites that received at least one unique visitor within the preceding 90 days and the number of free photo-sharing users that logged on to the service at least once within the preceding 90 days. A table entitled "Analysis of Pay Accounts and Subscriptions" is presented elsewhere in this release.
(3) A subscription represents a unique subscription to any individual pay service offered by the company. Internet access and accelerated dial-up are counted as two subscriptions, although most subscribers to the accelerated service purchase it bundled with our standard Internet access. A table entitled "Analysis of Pay Accounts and Subscriptions" is presented elsewhere in this release.
(4) Adjusted net income is defined as net income before the after-tax effect of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and facility-exit costs. Management believes that adjusted net income provides investors with additional useful information to measure the company's financial performance, particularly from period to period, exclusive of (1) certain non-cash expenses (such as amortization and stock-based compensation); and (2) other items which management believes are not reflective of the company's core operating results over time (non-recurring facility-exit costs in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004 related to the relocation of the company's corporate offices). Management also uses adjusted net income for this purpose. Adjusted net income is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The limitations of adjusted net income are that, similar to adjusted OIBDA, it does not include certain costs, and the term adjusted net income does not have a standardized meaning. Therefore, other companies may use the same, or a similarly named measure but exclude different items, which may not provide investors a comparable view of the company's performance in relation to other companies in the same industry. Management compensates for this limitation by presenting the most comparable GAAP measure, net income, directly ahead of adjusted net income in this earnings release and by providing a reconciliation that shows and describes the adjustments made. Management does not believe these limitations are material, particularly when such measure is disclosed with its most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income. A reconciliation to net income is provided in the accompanying tables.
(5) Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities before cash paid for relocation costs, less capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with additional useful information to measure operating liquidity because it reflects the company's operating cash flows after investing in capital assets, and excludes the cash impact of items which management believes are not reflective of the company's core operating results over time (non-recurring facility-exit costs in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004 related to the relocation of the company's corporate offices). This measure is used by management, and may also be useful for investors, to assess the company's ability to pay its quarterly dividend, repay debt obligations and generate cash flow for a variety of strategic opportunities, including reinvestment in the business, and effecting potential acquisitions and share repurchases. Free cash flow is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The limitation of free cash flow is that it excludes cash paid for non-recurring relocation costs during certain periods. Management does not believe that this is a material limitation, particularly when such measure is disclosed with its most comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities. A reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities is provided in the accompanying tables.
(6) Billable services margin represents billable services revenues less cost of billable services divided by billable services revenues.

If an acquisition were consummated, actual results could differ materially from any forward-looking statements. More information about potential factors that could affect the company's business and financial results is included in the company's annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (http://www.sec.gov), including, without limitation, information under the captions "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors."
