OpenTable reported consolidated net revenues for Q2 2012 of $39.6 million, a 15% increase over Q2 2011.  Consolidated net income for Q2 2012 was $5.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share.  Non-GAAP consolidated net income for Q2 2012, which excludes tax-affected stock-based compensation expense, tax-affected acquisition-related expenses and tax-affected amortization of acquired intangibles, was $9.7 million, or $0.42 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 June 30, 2012, totaled 18,373, an 18% increase over June 30, 2011.
• Seated diners totaled 28.0 million, a 26% increase over Q2 2011.
• Revenues totaled $34.5 million, an 18% increase over Q2 2011. 
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses) totaled $18.1 million, or 52% of North America revenues, a 22% increase over Q2 2011.

International Results

• Installed restaurant base as of June 30, 2012, totaled 6,664.  Prior to the relaunch of the toptable site, we targeted and successfully migrated the toptable restaurants that accounted for more than 90% of toptable seated diners in Q1 2012.  At the time of the toptable relaunch in May 2012, we proactively removed 1,578 toptable restaurants from our International installed restaurant base as they had not migrated to OpenTable technology.  This removal of restaurants from our installed base was an anticipated one-time event and reflects a group of restaurants that accounted for less than 10% of toptable seated diners in Q1 2012. 
• Seated diners totaled 2.2 million, a 39% increase over Q2 2011. 
• Revenues totaled $5.1 million, a 1% increase over Q2 2011. 
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA totaled a loss of $0.8 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million in Q2 2011. 

"We're pleased with the progress we're making across a variety of areas that support future growth in both our North America and International businesses," said Matt Roberts, President and CEO of OpenTable. "The relaunch of the toptable site marks a significant milestone as it lays the foundation for growth in the UK, which is at the core of our International business.  We're excited that London now represents our largest concentration of local restaurant customers in the world."

Q2 2012 Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary

• Installed restaurant base as of June 30, 2012, totaled 25,037, an 11% increase over June 30, 2011.
• Seated diners totaled 30.3 million, a 27% increase over Q2 2011.
• Total revenues were $39.6 million in Q2 2012, up 15% over Q2 2011 revenues of $34.3 million. 
  • Reservation revenues were $22.3 million in Q2 2012, up 22% over Q2 2011 revenues of $18.3 million.  Reservation revenues primarily increased as a result of the increase in seated diners. 
  • Subscription revenues were $13.9 million in Q2 2012, up 11% over Q2 2011 revenues of $12.6 million.  Subscription revenues primarily increased as a result of the increase in installed restaurants using our Electronic Reservation Book solution. 
  • Other revenues were $3.3 million in Q2 2012, down 3% over Q2 2011 revenues of $3.4 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 and featured private dining sales. 
• Total operating expenses were $30.7 million in Q2 2012, up 24% over Q2 2011 operating expenses of $24.8 million.  The increase was primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation, performance-based compensation and a 7% increase in headcount.
• Total operating income was $8.9 million in Q2 2012 compared to $9.5 million in Q2 2011.  Non-GAAP consolidated operating income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles was $15.2 million in Q2 2012 compared to $12.4 million in Q2 2011. 
• The Q2 2012 GAAP income tax expense was $3.1 million, or a 35% tax rate. 
• Consolidated net income was $5.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in Q2 2012 compared to $6.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in Q2 2011.  Non-GAAP consolidated net income, which excludes tax-affected stock-based compensation expense, tax-affected acquisition-related expenses, and tax-affected amortization of acquired intangibles was $9.7 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in Q2 2012 compared to $8.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in Q2 2011.  
• As of June 30, 2012, OpenTable had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $71.9 million. 

"During the second quarter the business continued to deliver solid operating metrics, adjusted EBITDA margins and cash flows even as we invest for the future," said Duncan Robertson, CFO of OpenTable.

About Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  The reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables below include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this press release and adjustments that the Company can reasonably predict.  Events that could cause the reconciliation to change include, but are not limited to, acquisitions and divestitures of businesses, goodwill and other asset impairments, and sales of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments. 

The non-GAAP financial measures in this press release 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 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).
