United Online Reports First Quarter Results

·                  Content & Media Grows to 51% of All Pay Accounts and 34% of Total Revenues

·                  Record Quarterly Growth of 265,000 Content & Media Pay Accounts

·                  Strong Growth in Advertising Revenues

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., MAY 1, 2007 — United Online, Inc. (Nasdaq:UNTD), a leading provider of consumer Internet and media services, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

“United Online delivered an impressive first quarter, which was particularly strong for our growing Content & Media segment that now represents 34% of total revenues and 51% of total pay accounts,” commented Mark R. Goldston, chairman and chief executive officer.  “Eclipsing the 50% threshold in our pay account mix is another important milestone in our Content & Media diversification strategy that began in 2004.  Importantly, our Communications segment continued to generate strong adjusted OIBDA, enabling us to invest significantly in the Content & Media segment while continuing to return cash to shareholders.”

Summary Results:

The following table summarizes key financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007:

·                  Advertising revenues were $33.5 million, an increase of 107% versus the year-ago quarter.

·                  Content & Media revenue growth reflects a combination of organic growth and the impact of the April 2006 acquisition of MyPoints.

·                  GAAP net income was $0.19 per diluted share, versus $0.20 per diluted share in the prior year quarter, which included a positive $0.02 adjustment from the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.

·                  The slight decline in adjusted OIBDA reflects increased investment in the Content & Media growth opportunity, including investment in sales and marketing initiatives.




·                  Pay accounts and active accounts totaled 5.0 million and 20.1 million, respectively, at March 31, 2007.

“Our continued investment in Content & Media enabled United Online to deliver improved results,” Goldston continued.  “We added 265,000 Content & Media pay accounts during the first quarter, representing record performance for segment organic growth.  The large increase in pay accounts is primarily attributable to the success of several new features introduced during the past few months. We were also pleased that Content & Media revenues grew on a sequential basis in the first quarter, despite the period being seasonally slower for advertising sales relative to the fourth-quarter holiday period.”

Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Dividend Highlights:

·                  United Online generated $25.2 million in cash flows from operations and $20.3 million in free cash flow(4) during the first quarter of 2007.

·                  Cash balances at March 31, 2007 increased to $168.0 million from $162.4 million at December 31, 2006, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

·                  During the first quarter of 2007, the company paid $13.7 million in dividends and repurchased $2.7 million in common stock (to satisfy tax withholding on vested restricted stock units).

·                  As announced separately today, the company’s Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 for the ninth consecutive quarter.  The record date of the dividend is May 14, 2007, and the dividend is payable on May 31, 2007.

·                  Communications pay accounts declined by 135,000 to 2.5 million, and represented  49.4% of total pay accounts at March 31, 2007.

·                  The increase in segment adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of segment revenues reflects the company’s focus on managing the Communications segment for profitability and cash flow.

Other:

·                  Other reconciling items (unallocated corporate expenses) to arrive at consolidated adjusted OIBDA(1) were ($4.2) million, versus ($5.1) million in the year-ago quarter.

United Online President and Chief Financial Officer Charles S. Hilliard commented, “The combination of Content & Media diversification and financial discipline enabled us to deliver solid profitability as we manage our maturing Communications segment.  We are also pleased with our strong cash flow, as consolidated free cash flow more than doubled from the year-ago quarter.”

“With our outstanding Q1 performance,” Hilliard continued, “we are increasing our 2007 operating income and adjusted OIBDA guidance and initiating formal revenue guidance for the year.”

Business Outlook:

The following forward-looking information includes certain projections made by management as of the date of this press release. United Online does not intend to revise or update this information and may not provide this type of information in the future. Due to a variety of factors, actual results may differ significantly from those projected. Factors include, without limitation, the factors referenced later in this announcement under the caption “Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” These and other factors are discussed in more detail in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the stock-based compensation and weighted average diluted shares projections are based on estimated equity grants for 2007, and actual grants could vary significantly from those currently estimated.

(1) Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (adjusted OIBDA) is defined by the company as operating income before depreciation; amortization; stock-based compensation; restructuring charges; and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets.  Management believes that because adjusted OIBDA excludes (1) certain non-cash expenses (such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets); and (2) expenses that are not reflective of the company’s core operating results over time, this measure provides investors with additional useful information to measure the company’s performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period.  Management uses adjusted OIBDA to measure the company’s performance.  The company’s board of directors uses this measure in determining certain compensation incentives for certain members of the company’s management.  Adjusted OIBDA is not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  A limitation associated with the use of adjusted OIBDA is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company’s business.  Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures such as capital expenditures and purchase accounting.  An additional limitation associated with this measure is that it does not include stock-based compensation expenses related to the company’s workforce.  Management compensates for this limitation by providing supplemental information about stock compensation expense on the face of the consolidated statements of operations.  A further limitation associated with the use of this measure is that it does not reflect the costs of restructuring charges and impairment charges.  Management compensates for this limitation by providing information about restructuring charges and impairment charges.  Management does not believe any of these limitations are material, particularly when such measure is disclosed with its most comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income.  A reconciliation to operating income is provided in the accompanying tables.




Adjusted OIBDA for each of the company’s segments is defined by the company as segment income from operations as set forth in the company’s Form 10-Ks and Form 10-Qs before restructuring charges and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. Management believes that because segment adjusted OIBDA and segment adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of such segment’s revenues exclude certain non-cash expenses and expenses that are not reflective of the segment’s core operating results over time, these measures provide investors with additional useful information to measure the company’s segment performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period.  Segment adjusted OIBDA and segment adjusted OIBDA as a percentage of such segment’s revenues are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  A limitation associated with the use of these measures is that they do not reflect the costs of restructuring charges and impairment charges related to an operating segment.  Management compensates for this limitation by providing information about restructuring charges and impairment charges by segment.  Management does not believe this limitation is material, particularly when such measure is disclosed with its most comparable GAAP financial measure, segment income from operations.  A reconciliation to segment income from operations is provided in the accompanying tables.

(2) Adjusted net income is defined by the company as net income before the after-tax effect of amortization of intangible assets; stock-based compensation; restructuring charges; impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets; and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as a result of the adoption of FAS 123R, and the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets.  Management believes that adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share provide investors with additional useful information to measure the company’s financial performance, particularly from period to period, because these measures are exclusive of (1) certain non-cash expenses (such as amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets) and (2) expenses that are not reflective of the company’s core results over time.  Management also uses adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for this purpose.  Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  The limitations of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are that, similar to adjusted OIBDA, they do not include certain costs, and the terms adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share do not have standardized meanings.  Therefore, other companies may use the same or similarly named measures but exclude different items or use different computations, which may not provide investors a comparable view of the company’s performance in relation to other companies in the same industry.  Management compensates for this limitation by presenting the most comparable GAAP measure, net income and net income per diluted share, directly ahead of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share in this earnings release and by providing a reconciliation that shows and describes the adjustments made.  Management does not believe these limitations are material, particularly when such measures are disclosed with the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income and net income per diluted share.  A reconciliation to net income is provided in the accompanying tables.




(3) A pay account represents a unique billing relationship with a customer who subscribes to one or more of the company’s services.   A pay account does not equate to a unique subscriber since one subscriber could have several pay accounts.  Active accounts are defined as all free access, VoIP, social-networking and email users that logged on to our services at least once during the preceding 31 days, together with all pay accounts.  Additionally, active accounts include the number of free Web sites that received at least one unique visitor within the preceding 90 days; the number of free photo-sharing users that logged on to the service at least once within the preceding 90 days; and the number of MyPoints members who earned points or spent points within the preceding 90 days.

(4) Free cash flow is defined by the company as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and including the excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and cash paid for restructuring charges.  Management believes that this measure of free cash flow provides investors with additional useful information to measure operating liquidity because it reflects the company’s operating cash flows after investing in capital assets.   This measure is used by management, and may also be useful for investors, to assess the company’s ability to pay its quarterly dividend, repay debt obligations, generate cash flow for a variety of strategic opportunities, including reinvestment in the business, and effect potential acquisitions and share repurchases.  Free cash flow is not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  The limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in cash during the period.  Management does not believe that this is a material limitation, particularly when such measure is disclosed with its most comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities.  A reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities is provided in the accompanying tables.

(5)   The company previously provided guidance of “a slight to moderate decline in total revenues for fiscal year 2007 when compared to total revenues for fiscal year 2006.”
