IncrediMail Reports Record $8.7 Million Revenues and $3.2 Million Net Income for First Quarter of 2011

Wednesday 11 May 2011

TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IncrediMail Ltd. (NASDAQ:MAIL - News), a digital media company that builds downloadable consumer products, today announced that:

Revenues increased 24% year-over-year to a record $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2011;
EBITDA was a record $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2011, or 43% of revenues, compared to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2010;
Net income in the first quarter of 2011 was $3.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010, and;
Cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2011 was $2.1 million, compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2010

Commenting on the quarter, Josef Mandelbaum, IncrediMail’s CEO, said, “We are extremely pleased with our strong first quarter performance, which is a direct result of our execution on several key fronts: financially, our new deal with Google yielded positive year over year results; operationally, our renewed focus on non-search growth activities and reallocation of resources, led to a significant increase in non-search revenues without added expense; and strategically, our focus on our consumer’s needs helped increase customer engagement. The combined result of these efforts led to our record quarter.”

In the first quarter of 2011 gross profits reached $8.3 million, or 96% of sales, an increase of 25%, compared to the first quarter of 2010.

Research and Development expenses in the first quarter of 2011 were $1.9 million, increasing $0.2 million, compared to the first quarter of 2010. However, as a percentage of sales, R&D expenses decreased to 22% in the first quarter of 2011 from 23% in the first quarter of 2010.

Sales and Marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2011 were $1.5 million, increasing $0.2 million, compared to the first quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased investment in customer acquisition costs which were $0.7 million, compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Mandelbaum continued, “We completed, on schedule, the back-end system needed to measure and track media buying and have begun to test new customer acquisition channels. We expect to see a significant increase in our media spend in the third and fourth quarter, as acquiring new customers is a key ingredient driving future growth.”

General and Administrative expenses increased to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. G&A expenses were similar to those in the prior quarter, reflecting our ongoing efforts to enhance and broaden the management of the Company over the latter part of 2010.

Income taxes in the first quarter of 2011 included a non-recurring income tax credit of $0.6 million attributable to the Company’s decision not to distribute dividends from 2011 earnings and beyond.

“We are making good progress on our product diversification efforts and expect to have more to report next quarter. Overall we still have much to do, but we are very excited about our strong start to the year and expect to build on this positive momentum throughout the rest of the year,” Mandelbaum concluded.
