Online Resources Posts First Quarter 2012 Results

Online Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCC), a leading provider of online financial services, today reported its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

• Revenue was $41.3 million, compared to $39.3 million in the first quarter of 2011.
• Net income available to common stockholders was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $7.2 million, or $0.23 per share, in the first quarter of 2011.
• Ebitda, a non-GAAP measure, was $8.6 million, compared to a loss of $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.
• Adjusted Ebitda, a non-GAAP measure that adjusts Ebitda for equity compensation expense and other expenses, was $10.8 million, compared to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.
• Core net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $3.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.

“In the first quarter, revenue was in-line with our expectations, growing by 5% relative to the first quarter of last year,” said Joseph L. Cowan, president and chief executive officer of Online Resources. “Earnings measures were higher than our expectations owing to some expense reversals that are not expected to recur in the future and the deferral of other expenses to later this year.”

Cowan continued, “I’m pleased with the progress the Company is making on the long-term strategic growth plan. I believe the revenue and earnings growth we saw this past quarter are partially the result of the plan we set upon over a year ago. As such, I’m confident in the course we have set for the Company and the expectations we discussed two months ago.”

Outlook for Second Quarter 2012

Online Resources provided the following guidance for the second quarter of 2012. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

(1)		The Company uses non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures, including Ebitda, adjusted Ebitda and core net income, to evaluate performance and establish goals. It believes that these measures are valuable to investors in assessing the Company’s operating results when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results.

Adjusted Ebitda is defined as net income available to common stockholders before preferred stock accretion, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity compensation expense, reserve for potential legal liability, strategic alternatives process costs, transition costs (including severance, retention, advisory and ORCC India start up costs) and other income (expense). Some or all of these items may not be applicable in any given reporting period.

Some or all of these items may not be applicable in any given reporting period.
