Reis, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Annual Results for 2008

Fourth Quarter 2008 EBITDA of the Reis Services Business Segment Grows 17.5% Over 2007;
Year-Over-Year EBITDA Growth Was 35.6%
 
 
 
NEW YORK, March 13, 2009: Reis, Inc. (NASDAQ:REIS) (“Reis” or the “Company”), a leading provider of commercial real estate market information and analytical tools, announced its financial results and operational achievements for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Results and Performance
 
Reis presents financial information for its two operating segments: the Reis Services segment, which is our primary business of real estate information services; and the Residential Development Activities segment, which business we are in the process of exiting. For comparison purposes, the Company has included pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2007, which is presented as if the May 30, 2007 merger (the “Merger”) had been consummated between Reis, Inc., then a privately held real estate information company (“Private Reis”), and a wholly owned subsidiary of Wellsford Real Properties, Inc. (“Wellsford”) as of the beginning of the year.
 
Financial Results Summary
 
For the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company’s Reis Services segment reported record pre-tax income and EBITDA of $1,593,000 and $3,026,000, respectively; however, the Company reported a consolidated net loss of $(8,744,000). For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company’s consolidated net loss was $(2,441,000). The fourth quarter 2008 loss includes impairment charges recorded in December 2008 in the Residential Development Activities segment of approximately $9,708,000, which is greater than the impairment charge of $3,149,000 recorded in December 2007, each as more fully described below. Consolidated revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $8,359,000 and $14,166,000, respectively. During the 2008 period, revenue was comprised of subscription revenue (from the Reis Services segment) of $6,411,000 and revenue from sales of residential units of $1,948,000. During the 2007 period, consolidated revenue was comprised of subscription revenue of $6,398,000 and revenue from sales of residential units of $7,768,000.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s Reis Services segment reported subscription revenue of $25,851,000, pre-tax income of $5,938,000 and EBITDA of $11,541,000, all of which were records for the Company; however, the Company’s consolidated net loss was $(7,480,000).  For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s consolidated pro forma net loss was $(12,154,000). The 2008 loss includes impairment charges in the Residential Development Activities segment of approximately $9,708,000, which is greater than an impairment charge of $3,149,000 in December 2007, each as more fully described below. Total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $47,620,000 (actual) and $57,890,000 (pro forma), respectively. During the 2008 period, revenue was comprised of subscription revenue of $25,851,000 and revenue from sales of residential units of $21,769,000. During the 2007 pro forma period, revenue was comprised of subscription revenue of $23,668,000 and revenue from sales of residential units of $34,223,000.
 
The December 2008 impairment charges of $9,708,000 relate to two of the Company’s three projects in the Residential Development Activities segment and the 2007 impairment charge of $3,149,000 relates to one of our
 
 

 
  projects.  The December 2008 impairment charges were, in general, the result of continuing deteriorating market conditions in the fourth quarter of 2008 and management’s expectations for the future.  The December 2008 impairment charges also reflect a change in intent and a lowering of management’s expectations of sales prices with respect to the two properties as a result of the establishment of more aggressive and flexible pricing levels in an attempt to close on all of the remaining homes and lots during 2009.  For the December 2007 calculation, the Company utilized assumptions in its discounted cash flow model that reflected the negative impact of the market conditions at that time and the negative effects on sales revenue, sales velocity, costs and the development plan.  Further deterioration in market conditions, or other factors, may result in additional impairment charges in future periods.

Reis Services EBITDA and Revenue
 
Management uses EBITDA to monitor and assess Reis Services’s performance and believes it is helpful to investors in understanding Reis Services’s business (see Reconciliations of Net (Loss) Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below). For the three months ended December 31, 2008, EBITDA for the Reis Services segment was $3,026,000, representing a 47.2% EBITDA margin and a 17.5% EBITDA growth rate over fourth quarter 2007 EBITDA of $2,575,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, EBITDA for the Reis Services segment was $11,541,000, representing a 44.6% EBITDA margin and 35.6% EBITDA growth rate over 2007 pro forma EBITDA of $8,508,000.
 
The increase in EBITDA over the comparable 2007 periods is primarily the result of (i) the revenue growth of 0.2% and 9.2% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, over the 2007 comparable periods, (ii) a significant portion of the revenue growth translating directly to EBITDA growth as a result of our fixed cost structure (as demonstrated by the increase in EBITDA margin from 40.2% to 47.2% from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the fourth quarter of 2008 and an increase from 35.9% to 44.6% from the year ended December 31, 2007 (pro forma) to the 2008 annual period), (iii) as it relates to the annual comparison, higher expenses in the pro forma 2007 period as a result of accruals for other operational obligations of Private Reis that were not Merger related costs or costs of the merged entities and (iv) management’s implementation of cost control measures during 2008.
 
Revenue decreased slightly, by 1.7% from the third quarter of 2008 to the fourth quarter of 2008 and was basically flat between the fourth quarter of 2007 and 2008.  These results reflect a decline in the renewal rate in the fourth quarter of 2008, and separately, the net effect of price increases and decreases.  During the third and fourth quarters of 2008, contract price increases on renewals were constrained due to usage reductions at some large customers as well as budgetary pressures at our customers, predominantly in the banking industry.  We generally impose contractual restrictions limiting our immediate exposure to revenue reductions due to mergers and consolidations; however, this may be negatively impacted by bankruptcies of existing customers.  Our pricing model is based on actual and projected usage, and is generally not as susceptible to downturns as would be a model based upon individual user licenses.  However, we may be impacted by future consolidation among our customers and potential customers, as a result of their reduced usage or greater bargaining power, or in the event that customers enter bankruptcy or otherwise go out of business, as has occurred during the latter part of 2008.
 
On an annual basis, revenue increased $2,183,000 in the year ended December 31, 2008 over the pro forma year ended December 31, 2007, a 9.2% increase.  Historically, Reis Services has been able to grow revenue through new business as well as contract price increases in connection with renewals as evidenced by our year over year performance.  This amount was negatively impacted by the fourth quarter 2008 performance described in the preceding paragraph. In addition, as noted in our September 30, 2008 Form 10-Q and other quarterly filings, revenues in 2007 were positively impacted by additional special project and consulting work.  This amount was approximately $339,000 greater for the year ended December 31, 2007 than the amount recorded in the comparable annual 2008 period. If we compared total revenue in the aggregate for these two periods without the additional revenue from special project and consulting work, the growth in our primary subscription business would have been $2,523,000, or 10.8%.

Our largest customer accounted for 2.4% of Reis Services’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our 24 largest customers in the aggregate accounted for 31.7% of Reis Services’s revenue in that period, of which 13 customers each accounted for greater than 1% of our revenue.
 
Despite the current dislocations in the financial markets, overall report usage grew from 2007 to 2008. Further, our overall annual renewal rate for the year ended December 31, 2008 was 88%, with a higher rate among our institutional customers at 90%. The sales force continues to have success in retaining customers by emphasizing the value of Reis SE, highlighting its ability to assist in risk analysis and management, as well as transaction support.
 
Lloyd Lynford, CEO of Reis stated, “Reis Services posted a record year for revenue and EBITDA, demonstrating again that our information is critical to commercial real estate professionals as they navigate this most difficult market. While our top line growth did slow in the latter part of the year, we believe that our introduction of innovative new products and our successful cost control efforts position the company well to reignite top line growth, and maintain our enviable EBITDA margin, as the economy and market recover.”
 
Consolidated Balance Sheet Information
 
At December 31, 2008, Reis had consolidated assets of approximately $120,438,000, including approximately $24,152,000 of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $46,770,000 of consolidated liabilities (including $12,121,000 of deferred revenue) and consolidated stockholders’ equity of approximately $73,667,000 or $6.70 per common share based upon 10,988,623 shares outstanding. Officers and directors of Reis beneficially own approximately 27.5% of the common shares outstanding.
 
Operational and Financial Highlights
 
Following are recent operational and financial highlights for Reis:
 
 
 
 
In February 2009, launched Value AlertSM, an analytical tool that provides a quick measure of how previous commercial real estate value assumptions may need to be modified to reflect current economic realities.  The tool can be applied to a portfolio as an initial screen to identify assets that may warrant further scrutiny;
 
   
In October 2008, launched Transaction AnalyticsSM, a tool that empowers commercial real estate investors and portfolio managers to identify sales and capital markets trends that are directly impacting the value of their assets;
 
   
Reduced the interest rate spread over LIBOR an additional 0.5% on the Reis Services Bank Loan to 1.50% during the third quarter of 2008, which is the lowest rate allowable under that credit agreement;
 
   
Reduced construction debt by $8,306,000 from the December 31, 2007 balance to $5,077,000 at December 31, 2008, which reduction includes the retirement of the Gold Peak construction debt in the third quarter and paydowns on the East Lyme construction loan during the year. The remaining $5,077,000 balance will be repaid by June 30, 2009;
 
   
Reduced our liquidity requirement to $4,177,000 at December 31, 2008;
 
   
Continued sales at our 259 unit Gold Peak project towards our goal of a complete sell-out in mid 2009 with an aggregate of 239 sales closed at December 31, 2008, including 19 and 54 sales in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008, respectively; and
 
   
In December 2008, instituted a stock repurchase plan, to repurchase up to $1,500,000 of Reis stock, and repurchased 2,400 shares at an average price of $3.66 per share through December 2008. Through February 28, 2009, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 12,700 shares of common stock for $56,000 at an average price of $4.42 per share.

Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
 
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment losses on real estate assets and stock based compensation. Although EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, senior management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure operational and management performance. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate metrics that may be used by investors as supplemental financial measures to be considered in addition to the reported GAAP basis financial information to assist investors in evaluating and understanding the Company’s business from year to year or period to period, as applicable. Further, these measures provide the reader with the ability to understand our operational performance while isolating non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as other non-operating items, such as interest income, interest expense and income taxes, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, isolates non-cash charges for impairment losses on real estate assets and stock based compensation. Management also believes that disclosing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA will provide better comparability to other companies in Reis Services’s type of business. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, follow for each identified period:

(A)
In September 2008, the Company completed the sale of eight partially improved lots, in a single transaction, to a regional homebuilder for $900,000. All of the transaction proceeds were used to partially repay the project’s construction loan.    
 
 
During 2008, the Company made the decision to halt new home construction pending exploration of a bulk sale of lots at East Lyme and Claverack. In June 2008, the Company entered into a listing agreement authorizing a broker to sell the remaining lots at East Lyme. In September 2008, the Company sold eight partially improved East Lyme lots, in a single transaction, to a regional homebuilder. Separately, the Company is working with local and regional brokers related to the Claverack bulk sale initiative.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell any or all of the homes in inventory or the remaining lots, individually or in bulk, at acceptable prices, or within a specific time period, or at all.

information such as rents, vacancy rates, lease terms, property sales, new construction listings and property valuation estimates.  Reis SE is designed to meet the demand for timely and accurate information to support the decision-making of property owners, developers and builders, banks and non-bank lenders, and equity investors, all of whom require access to information on both the performance and pricing of assets, including detailed data on market transactions, supply, absorption, rents and prices. This information is critical to all aspects of valuing assets and financing their acquisition, development and construction.

Prior to the Merger, Wellsford was a public company operating as a real estate merchant banking firm which acquired, developed, financed and operated real properties and invested in private real estate companies. The Company’s primary operating activities immediately prior to the Merger were the development, construction and sale of its three residential projects and its approximate 23% ownership interest in Private Reis. The Company is seeking to exit the residential development business in order to focus solely on the Reis Services business.
