The accompanying Notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 5 6 CATALINA MARKETING CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998, the results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and the statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The second quarter balances and results of the wholly-owned and majority-owned foreign subsidiaries are included as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. All material intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company's investment in a non-majority owned company is accounted for on the equity method. These financial statements, including the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998, which has been derived from audited financial statements, are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently may not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. Note 2. Net Income Per Common Share: The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of basic EPS to the denominator of diluted EPS (in thousands):
THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------------ 1998 1997 1998 1997 ------------------------------------------ Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 18,512 18,368 18,521 18,349 Dilutive effect of options outstanding 451 778 477 786 ------------------------------------------ Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 18,963 19,146 18,998 19,135
6 7 Options to purchase 550,900 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $51.31 to $54.50 per share were outstanding at September 30, 1998, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common stock. Note 3. Accounting Changes: In June 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130) and accordingly, comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):
THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------------ 1998 1997 1998 1997 ------------------------------------------ Net income $ 6,389 $ 8,244 $ 13,127 $ 13,881 Other comprehensive income, net of tax: Currency translation adjustment 121 (507) (332) (254) ------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Income $ 6,510 $ 7,737 $ 12,795 $ 13,627
In June 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-1). The effect of implementing SOP 98-1 was immaterial to the financial statements for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1998. Note 4. Credit Facility: In August 1998, the Company amended its $150 million credit agreement to extend the term of the $50 million 364 day line of credit facility to September 29, 1999 and modify certain terms and conditions of the agreement. At September 30, 1998, there were no borrowings outstanding thereunder. Note 5. Acquisitions: Effective July 13, 1998, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of Market Logic, a full service targeted marketing organization that specializes in the development and fulfillment of highly sophisticated, personalized, direct marketing programs for retailers, for $1.7 million in initial cash consideration, net of cash acquired. Terms of the purchase agreement call for the Company to make a series of payments, which are contingent upon the future operating performance of Market Logic. The purchase has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for acquisition. 7 8 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Certain statements in the following paragraphs are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. Statements not based on historic facts involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the changing market for promotional activities, especially as it relates to policies and programs of packaged goods manufacturers for the issuance of certain product coupons, the effect of economic and competitive conditions and seasonal variations, actual promotional activities and programs with the company's customers, the pace of installation of the Company's store network, the success of new services and businesses and the pace of their implementation, and the Company's ability to maintain favorable client relationships. FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998 The Company's revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 increased 22.2 percent and 22.0 percent, respectively, compared with the same periods in fiscal 1998. The increase in revenues is primarily due to growth in new programs such as Checkout Direct(R) and, to a lesser extent, revenues added by the acquisition of Market Logic, which closed on July 13, 1998. The Company's core domestic business, which includes primarily business generated by manufacturers and retailers through the Company's U.S. supermarket network, and certain other retailer programs, and including Market Logic, contributed approximately $52.2 million and $98.9 million of revenues, respectively, in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999, up 20.3 percent and 18.6 percent over revenues of $43.4 million and $83.4 million, respectively, in the comparable fiscal 1998 periods. In the U.S., the Catalina Marketing Network was in 11,621 stores at September 30, 1998, which reach 151 million shoppers each week as compared to 10,801 stores reaching 142 million shoppers each week at September 30, 1997, 11,164 stores reaching 143 million shoppers each week at March 31, 1998 and 11,432 stores reaching 153 million shoppers each week at June 30, 1998. The Health Resources Network was in 3,186 pharmacies at September 30, 1998 as compared to 1,477 pharmacies at September 30, 1997, 1,920 pharmacies at March 31, 1998 and 2,256 pharmacies at June 30, 1998. Outside the U.S., the Catalina Marketing Network was in 1,560 stores at September 30, 1998, which reach 24 million shoppers each week as compared to 913 stores reaching 15 million shoppers each week at September 30, 1997, 1,372 stores reaching 20 million shoppers each week at March 31, 1998 and 1,456 stores reaching 23 million shoppers each week at June 30, 1998. In the first six months of fiscal 1999 the Company installed its Catalina Marketing Network in 457 stores (net of deinstallations) in the U.S. as compared to 56 stores in the comparable fiscal 1998 period. Deinstallation activity can and does occur primarily due to store closures made by retailers in the ordinary course of business as well as the consolidation and business combination of supermarket chains. The Company also installed its Health Resources Network in 1,266 pharmacies (net of deinstallations) in the first six months of fiscal 1999 as compared to 282 stores in the comparable fiscal 1998 period. Outside the U.S., the Company installed 8 9 188 stores (net of deinstallations) in the first six months of fiscal 1999 as compared to 272 stores (with respect to continuing operations, net of deinstallations) in the comparable fiscal 1998 period. During the first six months of fiscal 1998 the Company also ceased operations in 300 stores in and around Mexico City. Direct operating expenses consist of retailer fees, paper, sales commissions, loyalty and direct marketing expenses, marketing expenses, the expenses of operating and maintaining the Catalina Marketing Network (primarily expenses relating to operations personnel and service offices), provision for doubtful accounts and the direct expenses associated with operating the outdoor media business in a majority-owned subsidiary in Japan. Direct operating expenses increased in absolute terms to $28.2 million and $51.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999, respectively, from $20.4 million and $38.4 million in the comparable periods of fiscal 1998. Direct operating expenses in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 as a percentage of revenues increased to 43.7 percent and 42.7 percent, respectively, from 38.7 percent in the comparable periods of fiscal 1998. This increase in fiscal 1999 is principally attributable to the Company's increase in loyalty and direct marketing programs,including Market Logic's business, which by their nature have a higher percentage of direct costs as a function of revenue than the Company's other base business products. Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel-related costs of selling and administrative staff, overhead and new product development expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 were $14.0 million and $29.3 million, respectively, compared to $12.4 million and $25.3 million for the comparable period of fiscal 1998, increases of 12.9 percent and 15.8 percent, respectively. The increases relate primarily to higher costs associated with a larger sales force, and administrative expenses of new business ventures and products. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.8 percent and 1.3 percent in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999, to 21.8 percent and 24.2 percent, respectively, from 23.6 percent and 25.5 percent for the comparable periods of fiscal 1998. This decrease is attributable to more disciplined spending on overhead costs in fiscal 1999. Depreciation and amortization increased to $6.6 million and $13.0 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 from $5.9 million and $11.6 million for the comparable periods in fiscal 1998. Depreciation increased due to the investment in capital expenditures associated with new business ventures and data processing equipment and the increase in stores installed. Interest expense and other increased to $2.9 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 from $.4 million and $.8 million for the comparable periods in fiscal 1998. The increase is primarily due to the Company writing off its $3.0 million investment in Intelledge Corporation in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The provision for income taxes increased to $11.1 million (45.9 percent of income before income taxes) for the first six months of fiscal 1999, compared to $9.3 million (40.2 percent of income before income taxes) for the same period in fiscal 1998. The increase is primarily due to the valuation allowance recorded against the $3.0 million deferred tax benefit for the Intelledge investment write off in 9 10 the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company's effective tax rate is higher than the expected federal statutory tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes, the inability to currently utilize losses of majority owned foreign subsidiaries for tax purposes and, in the case of fiscal 1999, the valuation allowance referred to in the previous sentence. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary capital expenditures are store equipment and third-party store installation costs, as well as data processing equipment for the Company's central data processing facilities. Total store equipment and third-party store installation costs range from $5,000 to $13,000 per store. During the first six months of fiscal 1999 and 1998, the Company made capital expenditures of $17.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively. The pace of installations varies depending on the timing of contracts entered into with retailers and the scheduling of store installations by mutual agreement. During the first six months of fiscal 1999, the Company had a faster pace of U.S. store installations and spent $2.6 million more in data processing equipment and furniture and fixtures compared to the comparable fiscal 1998 period. Management believes that expenditures for capital equipment will remain between $20 and $35 million annually for the foreseeable future. Effective July 13, 1998, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of Market Logic, a full service targeted marketing organization that specializes in the development and fulfillment of highly sophisticated, personalized, direct marketing programs for retailers, for $1.7 million in initial cash consideration, net of cash acquired. Terms of the purchase agreement call for the Company to make a series of payments, which are contingent upon the future operating performance of Market Logic. During the first six months of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998, the Company purchased 270,100 and 1,403,477 shares of its common stock for $11.8 million and $40 million, respectively. Effective October 1998, the Company is authorized to purchase an additional $50 million of Company common stock subject to market conditions. The Company believes working capital generated by operations along with existing credit facilities are sufficient for its overall capital requirements. In the next two years, many companies will face potentially serious risks associated with the inability of existing business systems to appropriately recognize calendar dates beginning in the year 2000. The Company is aware of the year 2000 issue and the effects it may have on its business systems. In response, the Company has developed a detailed plan to address the issue. This plan includes a campaign which began in fiscal 1998, will be completed in June 1999 and includes spending of approximately $1.4 million for testing and upgrading hardware and software. The Company has spent approximately $0.7 million on the year 2000 issue and is approximately 80 percent complete with its plan as of September 30, 1998. In addition, the Company has contacted all of its hardware and software vendors, suppliers and financial institution partners to evaluate their compliance efforts. This information is being 10 11 used to ensure the vendors' year 2000 efforts or lack of will not adversely impact the Company's operations. The Company's manufacturer clients and retailers will also encounter year 2000 issues and are in various states of readiness. If these manufacturers or retailers encounter serious problems related to the year 2000 issue, those problems could have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Company. The Company believes the manufacturers and retailers are addressing the year 2000 issue and is closely monitoring the status of their readiness. In the event that the Company's year 2000 compliance efforts are unsuccessful and/or one or more of the Company's critical internal systems are not year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999, the following could occur, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Company: (a) Customer service could deteriorate to the point that a substantial number of the Company's customers move their account relationships to another organization; (b) The Company may be unable to provide manufacturer and retail clients with timely and accurate information about program execution; or (c) The Company may be unable to fulfill various contractual obligations The Company expects to formulate a contingency plan by June 1999 for the remote possibility that its business systems will not be year 2000 compliant. The Company will continue its efforts toward year 2000 compliance with a goal of June 1999 for completion of all testing and implementation of compliant systems. 11 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.

Pursuant to Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act), that report is not considered a part of the registration statement prepared or certified by our firm or a report prepared or certified by our firm within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

EX-99 5 REVIEW REPORT OF ACCOUNTANTS 1 Exhibit 99 REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To Catalina Marketing Corporation: We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Catalina Marketing Corporation (a Delaware corporation) as of September 30, 1998, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow for the six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above, for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Catalina Marketing Corporation as of March 31, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented separately herein), and, in our report dated April 23, 1998, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
