AVG REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS
REVENUE GROWS 25 PERCENT IN Q2 YEAR OVER YEAR; REPORTS Q2 GAAP EPS OF $0.20 AND NON-GAAP EPS OF $0.32; RAISES FISCAL YEAR 2012 OUTLOOK
AMSTERDAM, August 1, 2012 / PRNewswire / -- AVG Technologies N.V. (NYSE: AVG) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
"We executed well across the business in the second quarter, driving higher financial metrics and exceeding our financial expectations," stated J.R. Smith, chief executive officer of AVG. "Our active user count totaled 128 million customers at June 30 2012, a 31 percent increase compared to this time last year, which continues to strengthen our position in the market. Given our performance in the first half of 2012 and growth in key areas of our customer base, we are again raising our annual outlook."
Revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $82.5 million, compared with $66.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 25 percent.
Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $11.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted ordinary share, based on 54.8 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Second quarter 2012 net income reflects increased share-based stock compensation expense as well as investments made in the business compared to the second quarter of 2011. Net income in the second quarter of 2011 included a tax credit of $56.3 million following an agreement with the Dutch fiscal authorities relating to our innovative development activities; resulting in net income for the second quarter of 2011 of $75.0 million.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $17.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, based on 54.8 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $15.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and 50.9 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the same period of the prior year1. Non-GAAP results for the second quarter of 2012 exclude $3.7 million in share-based compensation expense and $2.0 million in acquisition amortization and reflect a $0.5 million adjustment to normalize to a tax rate of 14 percent.
Deferred revenue as of June 30, 2012 was $156.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $123.7 million and net debt was $73.7 million as of June 30, 2012.
AVG generated $32.2 million in cash from operating activities in the second quarter of 2012, and $29.3 million in non-GAAP unlevered free cash flow. This represents a 36 percent revenue to non-GAAP unlevered free cash flow conversion rate.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains supplemental non-GAAP financial measures including the following: non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share and non-GAAP unlevered free cash flow. The presentation of this supplemental non-GAAP financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In particular, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and unlevered free cash flow should not be considered as measurements of the company's financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP, as alternatives to income, operating income, cash flow from operation or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the company's liquidity. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and unlevered free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, analysis of AVG's results of operations, including its cash flows, as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and unlevered free cash flow as financial measures are:
- they do not reflect the company's future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments, nor, in the case of the income measures, do they reflect the actual cash contributions received from customers;
- except in the case of free cash flow, they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the company's working capital needs;
- they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the company's debt;
- although amortization and share-based compensation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
- other companies in AVG's industry may calculate these measures differently than AVG does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, investors should rely on AVG's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and treat the company's non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information only.
AVG is providing these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that such measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors about the company's core operating results, primarily because the non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain expenses and other amounts that management does not consider to be indicative of the company's core operating results or business outlook. AVG management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the company's operating performance, in planning and forecasting future periods, in making decisions regarding business operations and allocation of resources, and in comparing the company's performance against its historical performance.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, please see "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures." All non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the comparable information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
