RADNOR, Pa., May 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICG Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICGE) ("ICG") today reported its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Financial Information
Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 grew 34%, to $46.3 million, compared to $34.7 million in the corresponding 2012 period. Non-GAAP net income (loss) for the first quarter of 2013 was a loss of $(2.8) million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $(2.6) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012. GAAP net income (loss) for the first quarter of 2013 was income of $19.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(7.0) million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, in the corresponding period of 2012. GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2013 included gains primarily related to the sales of Channel Intelligence and Investor Force. Channel Intelligence and Investor Force are both presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented.
"We had a strong start to the year with the sales of Channel Intelligence and Investor Force and, operationally, we made solid progress in the first quarter, driving 34% revenue growth. Importantly, of our $46.3 million in revenue, approximately 90% is recurring," said Walter Buckley, ICG's Chief Executive Officer. "We continued to aggressively pursue our key growth initiatives in the quarter, doubling our investment in sales and marketing across our businesses from the first quarter of 2012 to fortify our ability to further capitalize on the large market opportunity that we have in front of us."
Financial Highlights
- On track to achieve annual revenue and non-GAAP net income per share within guidance ranges
- Repurchased 161,200 shares of ICG common stock for $2.1 million and expect to meet our $10 million annual share repurchase goal
- As previously announced, sold Channel Intelligence to Google, realizing $60.5 million of cash for ICG, and sold Investor Force to MSCI for cash proceeds to ICG of $20.7 million
Operational Highlights
- Deployed $8.0 million in sales and marketing across the businesses, positioning ICG to further increase its recurring revenue base and pipeline growth
- Invested $3.2 million in research and development
- Rebranded SeaPass, ICG's insurance platform, as Bolt
- Rolled out the Bolt Platform, a fully-integrated cloud offering for the property and casualty insurance industry
"Our first quarter results reflect a good start to 2013, with strong revenue growth, as well as profitability that was essentially in line with our expectations," said Kirk Morgan, Chief Financial Officer of ICG. "Our profitability goal for 2013 is particularly notable given the significant investments we are making in growth initiatives such as sales and marketing. Our strong balance sheet allows us to support these initiatives and execute on our capital allocation focus of owning more of our companies, supporting accretive tuck-in acquisitions and share repurchases."
A reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures noted above is included with the financial tables at the end of this release.

About ICG's Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. The tables above reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. ICG strongly urges investors and potential investors in our securities to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this release.
ICG's management believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they allow investors to view the business through the eyes of management and provide meaningful supplemental information regarding ICG's operating results, as they exclude amounts that ICG excludes as part of its monitoring of operating results and assessment of the performance of the business.
ICG presents the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release: (1) non-GAAP net income (loss) and (2) non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. ICG excludes items from these non-GAAP financial measures as described below.
Non-GAAP net income (loss), excludes the additional following items:
- Share-based compensation. ICG excludes share-based compensation expenses associated with equity granted to employees and non-employee directors primarily because they are non-cash expenses that ICG does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business, and the exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of results over different time periods and the comparison of ICG's results with results of other companies.
- Amortization of intangibles. ICG excludes amortization of acquired intangibles, primarily customer relationships and technology, because they are expenses that ICG does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business, and ICG believes that doing so facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies.
- Impairment-related and other costs. ICG excludes the effect of impairment-related and other costs, which primarily include impairment charges, revaluation of contingent consideration, restructuring and severance fees, acquisition related costs, legal and settlement costs and other one-time costs, because ICG does not consider them part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business and believes it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on ICG's operations.
- Other income (loss), net. ICG excludes the effect of other income (loss), net, which primarily includes transaction-driven gains and losses, as well as certain foreign currency impacts, because ICG does not consider them part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business and believes it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on ICG's operations.
- Acquired businesses' deferred revenue. ICG includes acquired businesses' previously deferred revenues that are not recognized under GAAP because ICG considers them a part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business and believes it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on its operations.
- Equity loss. In accordance with GAAP, ICG recognizes its share of the earnings or losses of each company accounted for under the equity method and adjusts the carrying amount for each such company for its share of the earnings or losses of the company. ICG excludes GAAP equity income (loss) because it is significantly impacted by factors outside its direct control.
- Income tax expense (benefit) - deferred. ICG excludes the effect of deferred income tax expense (benefit) primarily because it is a non-cash expense that ICG does not consider a meaningful component of its operating results when assessing the performance of its business, and the exclusion of this item facilitates the comparison of results over different time periods.
- Impact of discontinued operations. ICG includes the impact of these items of discontinued operations in 2012 periods as ICG believes it is useful for investors to understand the effect of this item for all periods presented as compared to what has historically been provided and the impact of discontinued operations in 2013 as ICG does not consider them a part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share is calculated as follows:
- Non-GAAP net income (loss) (as defined above) is the numerator.
- Shares used in calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. For periods where GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) are both losses, ICG uses the same number of shares used to calculate GAAP and non-GAAP net loss per share. For periods where GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) are both income, ICG uses the same number of shares used to calculate GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. For periods where GAAP net income (loss) is a loss but non-GAAP net income (loss) is income, ICG includes the impact of incremental dilutive securities for the period to determine non-GAAP net income per diluted share. For periods where GAAP net income (loss) is income but non-GAAP net income (loss) is a loss, ICG excludes the impact of incremental dilutive securities for the period to determine non-GAAP net loss per diluted share.
ICG believes that the following considerations apply to the non-GAAP financial measures that it presents:
- ICG's management uses non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share in internal reports used by management in monitoring and making decisions regarding ICG's business, including in monthly financial reports prepared for management and in periodic reports to ICG's Board of Directors.
- An important limitation of ICG's non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude expenses, some of which may be significant, that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges to exclude from the non-GAAP financial measures.
- To mitigate the limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures, ICG reconciles its non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures and recommends that investors and potential investors do not give undue weight to its non-GAAP financial measures.
