Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share are calculated as net income or net income per share on a diluted basis, excluding, where applicable, impairment charges, amortization of intangible assets, stock based compensation and the related tax effects.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and before stock compensation and impairment charges ("EBITDA"). Bridgeline uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
Bridgeline's Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, Bridgeline management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. Bridgeline urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Bridgeline's business.
Our definitions of non-GAAP adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from and therefore may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of the limitations that non-GAAP adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA have as an analytical tool, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
Subsequent Event
On May 11, 2010 Bridgeline Digital announced the acquisition of selective assets of TMX Interactive expanding Bridgeline Digital's presence into the Philadelphia region.
Founded in 1999, TMX Interactive was an award-wining interactive technology company that provided web application development, web design, usability, and content management system implementation services for its customers. In 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, TMX won numerous industry related awards and was recognized by the Internet Advertising Competition (IAC) as one of the top Interactive Companies in the United States. In 2009, Ektron, a developer of web content management software, recognized TMX as its "Rookie Partner of the Year".
TMX Interactive had annual sales of approximately $2.4 million in 2009 and is headquartered just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania servicing a .NET customer base that includes LG Electronics, Northwestern Mutual, PNC Bank, and Sony.
No revenue, gross profit margin, or income associated with the TMX acquisitions have been recorded in Bridgeline's second quarter of 2010 results; however some related acquisition expenses are recorded in this period.
Bridgeline Digital acquired TMX Interactive for $1.7 million in a combination of cash, debt, earn out, and deferred revenue consideration.
