Revenue in the fourth quarter 2016 totaled $51.7 million, down 11% from $58.0 million in the year-ago period. Fourth quarter 2016 net loss totaled $5.6 million, an improvement of 51% compared to the net loss of $11.4 million in the year-ago period.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Overview
- Revenue at Lexia Learning (“Lexia”), the Company's Literacy segment, increased 35% year-over-year to a record high $9.8 million.
- Total operating expenses decreased $13.0 million or 22% year-over-year to $45.5 million, representing the eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year expense reductions. Total operating expenses included $1.6 million of lease termination costs in the fourth quarter 2016 and $6.0 million of impairment charges and lease termination costs in the year-ago period
- Net loss improved 51% and EPS improved 52% year-over-year to $5.6 million or $(0.25) per diluted share
- Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, improved $1.9 million year-over-year to $3.5 million
- Cash and cash equivalents increased $4.0 million sequentially to $36.2 million at December 31, 2016, with zero debt outstanding.
“Over the course of 2016 we continued our work to right-size the Company and position it for growth by investing in Lexia and launching Catalyst, our new Enterprise Language product,” said John Hass, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The restructuring process that began in March 2015 is nearing completion, having reduced expenses for eight consecutive quarters on a year-over-year basis. Importantly, even as we have focused our business and reduced costs, we have made targeted investments, especially in building out Lexia's distribution and support infrastructure, that will be a large source of future growth.”
Announcement of New Japanese Partnership
The Company has entered into a series of agreements with SOURCENEXT Corporation (“SOURCENEXT”), the leading software distributor in Japan. “Today I am happy to announce a new partnership with SOURCENEXT, Japan’s leading software publisher and distributor, to better serve the needs of learners in Japan. This agreement illustrates the enduring value of our brand and intellectual property.”
As part of the agreement Rosetta Stone will provide SOURCENEXT a perpetual, exclusive license of certain brands and trademarks, including the primary Rosetta Stone brand, and product code for exclusive use in the consumer and enterprise language and education space in Japan. Rosetta Stone is receiving $13.5 million before certain adjustments, and is guaranteed a minimum of an additional $6 million over the next ten years. Finally, as part of the agreements, Rosetta Stone will have the first right to license and sell any products developed by SOURCENEXT under the Rosetta Stone trademark in territories outside of Japan.
Fourth Quarter 2016 Review
Revenue: Total revenue was down 11% year-over-year to $51.7 million, due to a 25% year-over-year decline in Consumer segment revenue to $24.0 million in the fourth quarter 2016. The decline in Consumer revenue reflects management's strategy to purposely scale-back the size and enhance the profitability of that business.
Enterprise & Education ("E&E") Language segment revenue decreased 6% year-over-year to $17.9 million in the fourth quarter 2016. The decline was driven by the restructuring of the E&E Language segment, initiated in March 2016, which had the effect of exiting the Enterprise segment's direct sales and marketing presence in several countries, including China, Brazil and France. The Company has reentered, or intends to reenter in the future, certain of these markets through agreements with local resellers. E&E Language segment revenue before the countries that were exited decreased 3%.
Revenue at Lexia increased 35% year-over-year to $9.8 million in the fourth quarter 2016. Adjusting for the impact of purchase accounting, Lexia's revenue would have been $10.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to $8.8 million in the year-ago period, and Lexia's pro forma growth rate would have been 19% year-over-year. Lexia's revenue growth was due to strong demand for its Core5 literacy curriculum product, and continued high renewal rates. The Company continues to invest to support the long-term growth of Lexia, including expanding the size of its direct sales force and the portfolio of products and services it provides to schools.

Full Year 2016 Review
Revenue: Full year 2016 revenue totaled $194.1 million, down 11% from $217.7 million in 2015. The decline primarily reflected lower Consumer segment revenue, which was down 27% to $87.9 million in 2016, compared to $119.6 million in 2015.
Revenue in the E&E Language segment totaled $72.1 million in 2016, down 5% compared to $76.1 million in 2015. The reduction was driven by the restructuring of the E&E Language segment, initiated in March 2016, which had the effect of exiting the Enterprise segment's direct sales and marketing presence in several countries, including China, Brazil and France.

Lexia's revenue totaled $34.1 million in 2016, up 56% from $21.9 million in 2015. Adjusting for the impact of purchase accounting, Lexia's revenue would have been $38.4 million in 2016 compared to $29.8 million a year ago, and Lexia's pro forma growth rate would have been 29% year-over-year.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA: Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $4.3 million in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to $12.1 million in the same period a year ago.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company uses, and this press release contains references to, the non-GAAP financial measures of financial performance listed below.
- Bookings represent executed sales contracts received by the Company that are either recorded immediately as revenue or as deferred revenue.
- Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income/(loss) plus interest income and expense, other income/expense, income tax benefit and expense, impairment, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and restructuring expenses. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA excludes "Other" items related to the litigation with Google Inc., consulting and other related costs associated with the development and implementation of the accelerated strategy and cost reductions, non-restructuring wind down and severance costs, and transaction and other costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, as well as all adjustments related to recording the non-cash tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been revised to conform to current definition.
- Free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities minus cash used in purchases of property and equipment.
- Segment contribution includes segment revenue and expenses incurred directly by the segment, including material costs, service costs, customer care and coaching costs, sales and marketing expenses, and bad debt expense.
The definitions, GAAP comparisons, and reconciliation of those measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are available in this press release or in the corresponding earnings presentation, which are posted on our website at www.rosettastone.com.
Management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, enabling a better understanding of the long-term performance of the Company’s business. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, and for budgeting and planning purposes. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other software and education-technology companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
The presentation of this additional financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing earnings information, including this press release, or in corresponding earnings presentations, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies, and we encourage you to review and understand all our financial reporting before making any investment decision.
