San Jose, California - (The Hosting News) - March 17, 2009 - Social media marketing agency, LiveWorld, has reported $3.0 million in total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the $3.0 million in total revenues reported in the fourth quarter of 2007.
David Houston, Chief Financial Officer of LiveWorld noted, ”We are pleased with the quarterly results and the actions we took to improve the overall performance of the company. We believe the macroeconomic environment will remain challenging in the short-term, but we are cautiously optimistic that we will see continued improvements in our operations as a result of the changes we made in the fourth quarter.”
The fourth quarter revenues were a 13% increase from the $2.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2008. The Company reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $165,000, or $0.01 per share. This result was an improvement of $754,000 when compared to the net loss of $589,000 or $(0.02) per share reported in the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company increased its net income by $767,000 in the fourth quarter when compared to the net loss of $602,000, or $(0.02) per share for the third quarter of 2008.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $400,000, which was materially higher than the $370,000 loss for the fourth quarter of 2007. Additionally the Adjusted EBITDA improved by $752,000 when the fourth quarter numbers are compared to the $352,000 loss for the third quarter of 2008. LiveWorld defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss with an add-back for depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, interest income net, and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined by GAAP and as a result LiveWorld’s measure of Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The company’s use of cash was $32,000 for the fourth quarter of 2008 which is a material improvement when compared to the use of cash of $302,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007 and the use of cash of $367,000 for the third quarter of 2008. The company ended the year with $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The company reported a positive working capital balance of approximately $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the $800,000 it had at the end of the third quarter of 2008.
In the fourth quarter, the Company took action to align its operating expenses with its current revenue-generating opportunities. The Company reduced its headcount, overall payroll expenses and other operational spending. While the average reduction for employees was approximately 8% of their salary, the executives of the Company each had their salary reduced by 33%. The Company is considering implementing an incentive compensation program based on its financial and overall performance. The total savings for the company will be approximately $1.7 million annually.
The Company anticipates its total revenues will be less than it reported in either the first quarter of 2007 or the fourth quarter of 2008. However, the Company believes the cost reductions will improve the first quarter operational results compared to the first quarter of 2008.
