Intermix Announces Record Third Quarter Revenues
Company Increases Revenue Forecast for Fiscal Year 2005
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intermix Media, Inc. (AMEX:MIX), reported record third quarter revenues today of $20.3 million, compared to $14.1 million for the same quarter last year. Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 were $54.8 million, compared to $38.5 million for the same period last year.
The Company also reported third quarter net income of $38,000, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million in the same period last year. Third quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses ("EBITDA") were $800,000, compared to a loss of $11,000 in the same period last year.
The Company's net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was $4.9 million, compared to a net loss of $8.7 million in the same period last year. EBITDA for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was $7.1 million, compared to a loss of $5.0 million in the same period last year. Net income and EBITDA for fiscal year 2005 reflect $5.3 million in gains arising from sale of assets and extinguishment of debt in the Company's second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004.
Product marketing segment revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 were $12.4 million, compared to $9.4 million for the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily due to greater sales of the Body Shape(TM), Dream Shape(TM) and Hydroderm(TM) product lines experienced at the Company's Alena business unit.
Network segment revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 were $7.9 million, compared to $4.7 million for the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily due to higher advertising and search revenues realized by the Company's Intermix Network Subsidiary.
Business Growth and Investments
Intermix and its subsidiaries continued to focus on infrastructure and growth in both segments of the business and made significant investments in the most recent quarter. These activities included:
* Significantly expanding Alena's tools and technologies to allow for
the launch of multiple products and product categories. Alena began
gathering data and analytics on new product categories and expects the
roll-out of additional products in the coming quarters.
* Launching Grab.com, Intermix Network's premier casual gaming site with
innovative community-based features including online games, avatar
technology, friends' lists, on site messaging, ladders and
tournaments, and a proprietary engine that allows users to challenge
friends to grab.com games. According to comScore Media Metrix,
Grab.com received over 1.1 million unique visitors in December 2004,
its third full month since launch.
* Expanding the reach and infrastructure of MySpace.com, a popular
social networking and life style portal. According to comScore Media
Metrix, MySpace.com received over 5.8 million unique visitors during
the month of December 2004, up from 1.1 million in June 2004. MySpace
is making significant capital investments in network infrastructure
and recruiting technical, sales and other personnel to support and
foster the anticipated continued growth of MySpace.com
* Intermix's purchase of Focalex, Inc. for $4.3 million in cash and
common stock in November 2004 and integration of its optimization and
monetization technologies. Focalex is an Internet advertising and
affiliate marketing company through which Intermix expects to realize
increased monetization of its network traffic and a new channel of
distribution for its proprietary content and branded products.
* Investment of $4 million in Intermix by Redpoint Ventures and the
signing of a non-binding term sheet providing for Redpoint's
investment in a Company subsidiary that will own and operate the
MySpace.com business.
"This was a very important quarter for Intermix Media in validating our new business focus and strategy," stated Richard Rosenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Intermix. "We experienced significant growth in revenues in both segments of our business while continuing to invest in our infrastructure, proprietary tools and technologies, and new personnel. We believe that the investments we made in the third quarter and those we expect to make in upcoming quarters will allow us to further leverage our assets and businesses in fiscal 2006."
Fiscal Year 2005 and 2006 Outlook
The Company has raised its previously issued revenue forecast for fiscal year 2005. The Company currently expects fiscal year 2005 revenue to be approximately $76 million to $77 million, which equates to a growth in annual revenue of approximately 33% to 35%.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 ending March 31, 2005, Intermix expects to report revenue of between $21 million and $22 million. The Company expects to continue to invest in its web properties and infrastructure. As such, the Company expects to record a small net loss for the quarter, but to have positive EBITDA.
The Company expects to provide a forecast of its fiscal year 2006 results in late March 2005.

Note 1 Amounts represent 6 percent per annum accretion of the
liquidation preference related to the Company's Series A
preferred stock, as well as the accrual of payment-in-kind
dividends related to the Company's Series C and Series C-1
preferred stock. The accrual of dividends related to Series C
terminated as of October 31, 2004 in accordance with the terms of
such preferred stock. The accrual of dividends related to Series
C-1 preferred stock will continue through September 30, 2005 and
totals approximately $50,000 per quarter.
Note 2 In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached
final consensus on EITF 03-6, "Participating Securities and the
Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128," which requires
companies that have participating securities to allocate
undistributed earnings to common shares and participating
securities based on the proportion of undistributed earnings that
each would have been entitled to had all the period's earnings
been distributed. The Company's Series A, B and C preferred
stock are participating securities as defined in EITF 03-6, in
that such preferred stock would be entitled to either liquidation
proceeds in preference to common stockholder or dividends in
preference to common stockholders, if and when such a dividend
would be declared. Both liquidation preference and preferred
dividends would be in accordance with predetermined formulas.
EITF 03-6 was effective for fiscal periods beginning after March
31, 2004 and earnings per share reported in prior periods must be
retroactively adjusted to comply with EITF 03-6. The Company
adopted EITF 03-6 in the quarter ended September 30, 2004. EITF
03-6 had no impact on prior year per share amounts because of the
net losses for the prior periods.

Note (1) - EBITDA included in this press release is a non-GAAP financial
measure that represents net income excluding the effects of
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization
expenses; and impairment of goodwill and other intangible
assets. EBITDA, as defined above, may not be similar to
EBITDA measures used by other companies and is not a
measurement under generally accepted accounting principles.
We believe that EBITDA provides useful information to
investors about the Company's performance because it
eliminates the effects of period to period changes in costs
associated with capital investments, impairment of assets
related to those investments and interest on our debt and
capital lease obligations that we do not believe are
reflective of the underlying performance of the Company's
business operations. Management uses EBITDA in evaluating the
overall performance of the Company's business operations.
Although management finds EBITDA useful for evaluating aspects
of the Company's business, its reliance on this measure is
limited because the excluded items often have a material
effect on the Company's earnings and earnings per share
calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management
always uses EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP earnings and
earnings per share measures. The Company believes that EBITDA
provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the
Company's core performance, which management uses in its own
evaluation of performance, and a base line for assessing the
future earnings potential of the Company. While the GAAP
results are more complete, the Company provides investors with
this supplemental metric since, with reconciliation to GAAP,
it may allow for greater insight into the Company's financial
results.
Note (2) - EBITDA would have been $1.9 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 2004, after excluding the $4,647,000 gain on sale
of SkillJam assets and the $630,000 gain on debt extinguished.
