Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial
Highlights
- Revenue: Quepasa revenue for the fourth
quarter, which included the benefit of just over seven weeks of
contributions from myYearbook, was $6.3 million, up 240% from the
$1.9 million recorded in the same period in 2010.
- Net Loss: Quepasa net loss allocable to
common shareholders for the fourth quarter was $5.5 million or
$0.20 per share, an increase from a net loss allocable to common
shareholders of $1.8 million or $0.13 per share in the same period
in 2010. Quepasa's adjusted EBITDA loss for the fourth quarter of
2011 was $1.0 million or $0.04 per share, a $0.6 million increase
from the $0.4 million loss, or $0.03 per share, for the same period
in 2010. (See the important discussion about the presentation of
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA loss, non-GAAP financial measures, and a
reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure, below.)
Full Year 2011 Financial Highlights
- Revenue: Quepasa 2011 revenues totaled
$11.9 million, up 96% from the $6.1 million reported for 2010. (See
Important Disclosures below regarding revenue sources.)
- Net Loss: Quepasa reported a net loss
allocable to common shareholders of $12.8 million or $0.67 per
share for fiscal 2011, up from $6.8 million or $0.52 per share
reported in fiscal 2010. Quepasa's adjusted EBITDA loss totaled
$3.3 million or $0.18 per share, a decline from the $0.0 million or
$0.00 per share adjusted EBITDA profit reported in fiscal year
2010. (See the important discussion about the presentation of
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA loss, non-GAAP financial measures, and a
reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure, below.)
- Balance Sheet: Quepasa cash and cash
equivalents totaled $8.3 million at December 31, 2011, down from
$13.5 million at December 31, 2010. The year-over-year decline is
predominantly the result of proceeds used for the cash component of
the myYearbook merger and cash investments in Quepasa Games, which
were partially offset by the sale of preferred and common stock in
connection with the closing of the merger.
Operating and Business Highlights "The
company has made good progress towards integration of myYearbook
and Quepasa," noted COO Geoff Cook. "The Los Angeles office was
closed and the Mexico office was reduced by two dozen people. Key
people from both offices are in the process of moving to the
company's new headquarters in New Hope, Pennsylvania to help us
execute our plan of combining all of our users onto a single
platform. We've also experienced dramatic 300% growth in mobile
users in 2011, and we are excited to have announced last week the
launch of a mobile virtual currency into our mobile products."
- As of December 31, 2011 registered users increased to 78.1
million, up from the 27.3 million reported at the end of the fourth
quarter of 2010.
- Monthly Active Users (MAU) on our web properties totaled 4.1
million on average per month in the fourth quarter of 2011, up from
the 2.8 million MAU in the same period in 2010. Web MAU were up
sequentially from 1.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. Quepasa
Games, which launched in May 2011, added an additional 2.1 million
MAU (6.2 million total for all properties) to the fourth quarter
total.
- Page views totaled 5.43 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011,
up from the 521 million page views in the same period of 2010.
Sequentially, page views were up in the fourth quarter of 2011 from
the 0.58 billion in the third quarter of 2011.
- Visits totaled 192.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, up
from the 63.6 million visits in the same period of 2010. Visits
were up sequentially as well, from the 30.2 million in the third
quarter of 2011.
- Quepasa completed its merger with myYearbook, creating the
public market leader for social discovery.
- During the fourth quarter, Quepasa enhanced its management team
with the additions of Fred Beckley as General Counsel and Executive
Vice President of Business Affairs, and Robin Shallow as Executive
Vice President of Communications and Public Relations.
- myYearbook surpassed 50% of its traffic accessing on mobile
devices, and launched the tablet application myYearbook for iPad,
which is now available in the iTunes App Store.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements This press release includes forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 including statements regarding being well
positioned to capitalize on our leadership position, enhancing our
growth trajectory in the upcoming quarters by offering web and
mobile products to our Latin American users, and moving our users
to a single platform. All statements other than statements of
historical facts contained in this press release, including
statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity,
business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future
operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe,"
"may," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should,"
"plan," "could," "target," "potential," "is likely," "will,"
"expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based
these forward-looking statements largely on our current
expectations and projections about future events and financial
trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results
of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the
forward-looking statements include the risk that Latin American
users not willing to visit our site on a mobile platform,
myYearbook and Quepasa users will be willing to purchase virtual
currency for the various offerings, the effectiveness of the mobile
software on smartphones and tablets, the risk that we are unable to
monetize our mobile users, the risk that we will lose a substantial
number of users after moving our users to a single rebranded
platform and the risk that the Quepasa and myYearbook businesses
will not be integrated successfully. Further information on our
risk factors is contained in our filings with the SEC, including
the Form S-4/A filed on October 4, 2011. Any forward-looking
statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the
date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our
actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is
not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or
otherwise, except as may be required by law.
Important Disclosures
- Approximately 36% and 0% of Quepasa's revenues for the year
ended and the three months ended December 31, 2011, respectively,
came from one company of which a director of Quepasa is an officer
or director.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
On November 10, 2011, Quepasa Corporation and Insider Guides,
Inc., owner of social network myYearbook, merged. The fourth
quarter and fiscal year results for Quepasa Corporation are
provided, as well as certain combined operating results for Quepasa
and myYearbook. The combined revenue results give effect to the
merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2010. The combined
revenue data is for informational purposes only and does not
purport to present what our results would actually have been had
the merger actually occurred on the dates presented or to project
our results for any future period. The Company believes that
evaluation of its financial performance can be enhanced by a
presentation of combined results in order to evaluate its prior,
current or future period results on a more meaningful, consistent
year-over-year basis.
The Company uses financial measures which are not calculated and
presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") in evaluating its financial and operational
decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to period
comparison. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for
financial and operational decision making and as a means to
evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company presents these
non-GAAP financial measures because it believes them to be an
important supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used
by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in
the evaluation of companies in our industry.
The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (or loss) before interest
expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and
amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation. Quepasa excludes
stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. The
Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding non-recurring
acquisition and restructuring expenses and the goodwill impairment
charge. Other companies (including the Company's competitors) may
define EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and
should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating
income, cash flow from operating activities, as a measure of
Quepasa's liquidity or any other financial measures. It may not be
indicative of the historical operating results of Quepasa nor is it
intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors
should not consider EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA in isolation or
as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance
with GAAP. See Reconciliation of GAAP Net (Loss) to EBITDA (Loss)
and Adjusted EBITDA Income (Loss) for further information on these
non-GAAP measures and reconciliation of GAAP Income (Loss) to
EBITDA (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA Income (Loss) for the periods
indicated.
