OpenTable reported consolidated net revenues for Q4 2011 of $37.2 million, a 21% increase over Q4 2010.  Consolidated net income for Q4 2011 was $7.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share.  Non-GAAP consolidated net income for Q4 2011, which excludes tax-affected stock-based compensation expense and tax-affected amortization of acquired intangibles, was $8.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share.  

OpenTable provides operating results by geography as the Company is at different stages of development in its North America and International operations.  

North America Results

  • Installed restaurant base as of December 31, 2011, totaled 17,150, a 24% increase over December 31, 2010.
  • Seated diners totaled 24.6 million, a 38% increase over Q4 2010.
  • Revenues totaled $31.6 million, a 22% increase over Q4 2010.  
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) totaled $16.4 million, or 52% of North America revenues, a 36% increase over Q4 2010.

International Results

  • Installed restaurant base as of December 31, 2011, totaled 7,969, a 27% increase over December 31, 2010.
  • Seated diners totaled 2.2 million, a 45% increase over Q4 2010.  
  • Revenues totaled $5.6 million, a 15% increase over Q4 2010.  
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA totaled a loss of $0.5 million compared to a loss of $0.7 million in Q4 2010.  

"Our business continued to demonstrate strong momentum in 2011," said Matt Roberts, President and CEO of OpenTable.  "We're pleased with the growth of our market penetration in both restaurants and seated diners in North America and the progress we made in our International segment." 

Q4 2011 Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary

  • Installed restaurant base as of December 31, 2011, totaled 25,119, a 25% increase over December 31, 2010.
  • Seated diners totaled 26.9 million, a 39% increase over Q4 2010.
  • Total revenues were $37.2 million in Q4 2011, up 21% over Q4 2010 revenues of $30.8 million.  
    • Reservation revenues were $20.3 million in Q4 2011, up 32% over Q4 2010 revenues of $15.4 million.  Reservation revenues primarily increased as a result of the increase in seated diners.  
    • Subscription revenues were $13.3 million in Q4 2011, up 14% over Q4 2010 revenues of $11.6 million.  Subscription revenues increased as a result of the increase in installed restaurants using our Electronic Reservation Book solution.  
    • Other revenues were $3.6 million in Q4 2011, down 5% over Q4 2010 revenues of $3.8 million.  The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in revenue from third-party restaurant coupon sales, partially offset by an increase in advertising revenues.  

  • Total operating expenses were $26.4 million in Q4 2011, up 4% over Q4 2010 operating expenses of $25.4 million.  The increase was primarily driven by a 13% increase in headcount and an increase in depreciation and amortization.

  • Total operating income was $10.8 million in Q4 2011 compared to $5.4 million in Q4 2010.  Non-GAAP consolidated operating income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles and acquisition-related expenses was $13.7 million in Q4 2011 compared to $9.7 million in Q4 2010.  

  • The Q4 2011 GAAP income tax expense was $3.8 million, or a 35% tax rate.  

  • Consolidated net income was $7.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in Q4 2011 compared to $5.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in Q4 2010.  Non-GAAP consolidated net income, which excludes tax-affected stock-based compensation expense, tax-affected amortization of acquired intangibles and tax-affected acquisition-related expenses, was $8.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in Q4 2011 compared to $8.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in Q4 2010.  

  • During Q4 2011 the Company repurchased 1,089,300 shares of common stock at an average price of $37.91 per share.

  • As of December 31, 2011, OpenTable had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $49.9 million.  

2011 Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary

  • Total revenues were $139.5 million in 2011, up 41% over 2010 revenues of $99.0 million.

  • Operating income totaled $32.6 million in 2011, or 23% of consolidated revenues, an 82% increase over 2010.  Non-GAAP consolidated operating income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense and amortization of acquired intangibles, was $47.3 million in 2011, or 34% of consolidated revenues, a 66% increase over 2010.

  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA totaled $55.4 million in 2011, or 40% of consolidated revenues, a 59% increase over 2010.

"The fourth quarter highlights continued growth in our core operating and financial metrics," said Duncan Robertson, CFO of OpenTable.  "The business continues to deliver solid operating margins and cash flows which enabled us to complete the $50 million share repurchase in early January 2012."

Quarterly Conference Call

A conference call will be webcast live today at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET and will be available through February 28, 2012, at http://investors.opentable.com/events.cfm.  This call may contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding the Company's financial and operating results.

About Non-GAAP Financial Information

The accompanying press release dated February 7, 2012, contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Tables are provided in the press release that reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP consolidated net income and the related per diluted share amounts, non-GAAP consolidated operating income and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.  Non-GAAP financial measure adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses.   Within the Company's reconciliation to non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the impact of undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities has been excluded.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company's core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and its prospects for the future. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles because they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company's business operations. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results and trends and performance.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's financial results.  The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

Background Information

The Company reports consolidated operations in U.S. dollars and operates in two geographic segments: North America and International. The North America segment is comprised of all operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and the International segment is comprised of all non-North America operations, which includes operations in Europe and Asia. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from its restaurant customers. The Company's revenues primarily include monthly subscription fees, a fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations, and other revenue, including installation fees for the Electronic Reservation Book (including training).  

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and its attachments contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks and uncertainties.  These forward-looking statements include the quotations from management in this press release, as well as any statements regarding the Company's strategic and operational plans.  The Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.  Factors that may contribute to such differences include, among others, the impact of the current economic climate on the Company's business; the Company's ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth; the Company's ability to effectively manage its growth; the Company's ability to attract new restaurant customers; the Company's ability to increase the number of visitors to its website and convert those visitors into diners; the Company's ability to retain existing restaurant customers and diners or encourage repeat reservations; the Company's ability to successfully enter new markets and manage its international expansion; the Company's ability to successfully manage any acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies; interruptions in service and any related impact on the Company's reputation; and costs associated with defending intellectual property infringement and other claims.  More information about potential factors that could affect the Company's business and financial results is contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the Company's other filings with the SEC.  The Company does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.
