MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 02, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Digital River, Inc.
DRIV +9.08% , the revenue growth experts in global cloud commerce, reports its fourth quarter and full year 2011 financial results.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended Dec. 31, 2011, Financial Results GAAP Results Fourth quarter 2011 revenue totaled $112.0 million, exceeding management's guidance of $103 to $105 million. In the fourth quarter of 2010, revenue was $97.7 million.
For the full year 2011, revenue was $398.1 million, exceeding management's guidance of $389 to $391 million. In 2010, revenue was $363.2 million.
Fourth quarter GAAP net income was $4.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, which compared to GAAP net income of $5.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. These results were below management's fourth quarter guidance for net income of $0.18 to $0.21 per diluted share driven by $9.4 million of one-time non-cash impairments recorded in the quarter. These impairments primarily related to the reduction in the book carrying values of intangibles, including certain customer relationship, trade name and non-compete agreements.
For the full year 2011, GAAP net income was $17.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, and compared to GAAP net income of $15.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, during the same period in 2010. These results were below management's full year 2011 guidance of $0.52 to $0.55 per diluted share, due to the aforementioned impairment charge.
Non-GAAP Results Fourth quarter 2011 non-GAAP net income was $17.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. This compared to non-GAAP net income of $12.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. These results exceeded management's fourth quarter earnings guidance of $0.32 to $0.35 per diluted share.
For the full year 2011, non-GAAP net income was $45.6 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, and compared to non-GAAP net income of $36.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, during the same period in 2010. These results exceeded management's full year 2011 guidance of $1.03 to $1.06 per diluted share.
"I am pleased to report that we ended 2011 on a high note, delivering the highest quarterly revenue in the history of the company and beating our fourth quarter non-GAAP earnings guidance," said Joel Ronning, Digital River's CEO. "This year, innovation and product development will be major themes inside Digital River. We have several solutions we intend to deliver in 2012, including an expanded cloud-based subscriptions offering. Our company and clients' goals are clearly aligned -- we are both focused on growing online revenue."
On Sept. 7, 2011, management announced a $100 million share repurchase program. During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased $29.7 million of common stock, or 1.9 million shares at an average price of $15.41 per share. For the year, the company repurchased $79.8 million of common stock, or 4.3 million shares at an average price of $18.70 per share.
First Quarter 2012 Guidance
-- Revenue in the range of $99 to $101 million;
-- GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.09 to $0.13;
-- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.27 to $0.30; and
-- A tax rate of 21 percent for both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings.
Full Year 2012 Guidance
-- Revenue in the range of $402 to $409 million;
-- GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.54 to $0.64;
-- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.20 to $1.28; and
-- A tax rate of 21 percent for both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings.

Non-GAAP Net Income Calculation Digital River's non-GAAP net income is computed by adjusting GAAP pre-tax income as reported on the company's statement of operations by adding back amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, intangible impairments, unrealized investment gain or loss and restructuring costs, net of a 21 percent tax rate. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is calculated using the "if-converted" method with respect to the issuance of the company's 2004 and 2010 convertible notes, which includes shares reserved upon conversion of 199,828 and 7,022,027, respectively. In computing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, adjust non-GAAP net income to add back debt interest and issuance cost amortization expenses, net of the tax benefit, and then divide this amount by fully diluted shares outstanding. This amount, representing the fully diluted earnings computation, is selected to represent non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for each period presented. To provide further clarity, a detailed reconciliation on the comparability of the GAAP and non-GAAP data has been provided in table form following the financial statements accompanying this release.
