    Revenue growth continues as Literacy revenue grew 18% vs. prior year to record quarterly levels

    ARLINGTON, Va., March 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rosetta Stone Inc. (NYSE:RST), a world leader in technology-based learning solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.

    Fourth Quarter 2019 Highlights

    • Consolidated revenue increased 5% year-over-year to $46.7 million.
    • Revenue at Lexia Learning ("Lexia"), the Company's Literacy segment, increased 18% year-over-year to a record $17.1 million.
    • Revenue within the Consumer Language segment increased 2% year-over-year to $15.8 million.
    • Revenue within the Enterprise & Education (“E&E”) Language segment decreased 5% year-over-year to $13.8 million.
    • Consolidated fourth quarter net loss was $6.7 million, up from a net loss of $4.4 million in the same quarter a year ago,  driven by higher consolidated revenues which were more than offset by increased operating expenses related to investments made in R&D to support upcoming products, increased variable incentive compensation expenses, a decrease in other income primarily related to foreign currency losses on intercompany debt, and an increase in amortization expense associated with previously capitalized product development costs.
    • Consolidated bookings were $45.5 million, an increase of 6% versus the fourth quarter of 2018.
    • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was negative $0.9 million in the fourth quarter 2019, compared to $0.7 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was $6.9 million in 2019, an improvement compared to break-even ($0.2 million) in 2018.
    • Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $5.5 million in the same period a year ago.
    • At December 31, 2019 the Company had no debt outstanding and cash and cash equivalents totaled $43.0 million.

    “2019 was a solid year for Rosetta Stone as we saw the continued strong performance of our Literacy business and growth in our Consumer Language business,” said John Hass, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “We were especially pleased that Consumer Language bookings grew by 14% during the seasonally important fourth quarter on the strength of revitalized products and by providing good value for our learners.  The improving balance in our business is something we will invest behind during 2020.”

    Mr. Hass continued, “In 2020, our priorities include refreshing what the Rosetta Stone brand means for learners, focusing a larger K-12 sales team on expanding existing customer relationships and building new ones, and, later this summer, successfully launching Rosetta Stone English, our new product for emergent English learners in K-6. Also, during these uncertain times caused by the COVID-19 virus, we will continue to support the learning needs of our customers using our digital products by providing distance learning opportunities if they are disrupted by office or school closures.”

    Fourth Quarter 2019 Review

    Revenue: Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $46.7 million, compared to $44.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase in Lexia and Consumer Language revenue, partially offset by a slight decline in E&E Language revenue.

    Revenue at Lexia increased 18% year-over-year to $17.1 million. The increase in Lexia revenues was a result of continued demand for its product portfolio and the concentrated efforts of a direct sales team, as well as a seasonal shift of both new and renewal bookings moving to the fourth calendar quarter, which is the beginning of the school operating year.  Literacy bookings increased by 11% over the prior year period on a consistently high renewal rate of 103% and a solid retention rate of 87%.

    Consumer Language segment revenue increased $0.3 million, or 2%, year-over-year to $15.8 million, reflecting a 14% increase in bookings during the quarter over the same period in 2018 driven by sales of  Rosetta Stone apps. Bookings also increased due to the sale of lifetime subscriptions in the Web channel, but because those sales are recognized as revenue over 24-months, they did not have a significant impact on revenue in Q4 2019.  Subscribers grew 15% year-over-year to 552,000 at December 31, 2019. Subscriber growth was largely driven by an increase in longer duration initial subscriptions.  Subscriptions with a duration of one year or less totaled 39% of the subscription unit mix at the end of the fourth quarter 2019, down from 44% at the end of the same quarter last year.  Consumer Language bookings totaled $19.7 million in Q4 2019, up year-over-year from $17.2 million.

    E&E Language segment revenue decreased 5% year-over-year to $13.8 million. E&E Language bookings decreased $1.0 million, or 6% year-over-year, primarily driven by the absence of non-core custom content bookings in the current year quarter; before custom content, E&E Language bookings increased $0.9 million or 7%, as higher bookings in Europe were partially offset by lower bookings from K-12 Language and North America Corporate.

    Net Loss:  In the fourth quarter 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $6.7 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share.  In the comparable period a year ago, the Company reported a net loss of $4.4 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share. The increase in net loss of $2.3 million was driven by higher consolidated revenues of $2.1 million which were more than offset by increased operating expenses related to investments made into R&D of $1.2 million to support upcoming products, increased variable incentive compensation expenses of $1.1 million, a decrease in other income primarily related to foreign currency losses on intercompany debt of $1.0 million, and an increase in amortization expense associated with previously capitalized costs of $0.9 million.

    Full Year 2019 Highlights

    • Consolidated revenue increased 5% year-over-year to $182.7 million.
    • Revenue at Lexia increased 19% year-over-year to a record $62.6 million.
    • Revenue within the Consumer Language segment increased 5% year-over-year to $63.3 million.
    • Revenue within the E&E Language segment decreased 6% year-over-year to $56.8 million.
    • Consolidated full year net loss was $13.0 million, an improvement from a net loss of $21.5 million in 2018, driven by higher consolidated revenues and gross profit as well as a decrease in income tax expense. Operating expenses for the year were close to flat.
    • Consolidated bookings before SOURCENEXT were $196.9 million, an increase of 9% versus 2018.
    • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $6.9 million in 2019, an improvement from $0.2 million in 2018.
    • Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.4 million in 2019, compared to negative $6.4 million in the year ago period.

    Full Year 2019 Review

    Revenue: Total revenue in 2019 was $182.7 million, compared to $173.6 million in 2018, primarily due to an increase in Lexia and Consumer Language revenue, partially offset by a slight decline in E&E Language revenue.

    Revenue at Lexia increased 19% year-over-year to $62.6 million. Literacy bookings grew 17% over the prior year driven by a consistently high renewal rate over 100% in 2019.

    Consumer Language segment revenue increased $2.8 million, or 5%, year-over-year to $63.3 million, reflecting a higher mix of more expensive, longer duration subscriptions being sold during 2019.  Long term subscribers grew by 24% during the year, while short term subscribers grew by 2%, reflecting an ongoing mix shift within the subscriber base.  Consumer Language bookings, before SOURCENEXT, totaled $66.4 million for the full year 2019, up from $63.5 million in the prior year.

    E&E Language segment revenue decreased 6% year-over-year to $56.8 million primarily in the North America K-12 sales channel. E&E Language bookings increased $2.9 million, or 5% year-over-year, driven mainly by a large, long-term custom content deal in the third quarter of 2019 and strength in the North American Enterprise market.

Operating expenses for the year totaled $158.4 million, up slightly from $157.3 million for 2018, mostly due to increases in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses of 1% and 3%, respectively.

    Balance Sheet: The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $43.0 million and no debt outstanding at December 31, 2019. Deferred revenue totaled $177.6 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $162.9 million at December 31, 2018. Short-term deferred revenue, which will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months, totaled $119.9 million, or approximately 67% of the total December 31, 2019 balance.

    Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA: Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $10.7 million in the fourth quarter last year. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $6.5 million in the fourth quarter 2019, compared to $5.5 million in the same period a year ago. For full year 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $17.2 million in 2019 compared to $10.4 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.4 million in 2019, compared to negative $6.4 million in the year ago period.

    Non-GAAP Financial and Statistical Measures

    To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company uses, and this press release contains references to, the non-GAAP financial measures of financial performance listed below.

    • Bookings represents executed contracts received by the Company that are either recorded immediately as revenue or deferred revenue. Therefore, bookings is an operational metric and in any one period is equal to revenue plus the change in deferred revenue.
    • Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income/loss plus interest income and expense, other income/expense, income tax benefit/expense, impairment, lease abandonment and termination, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring, and strategy and cost-reduction related consulting expenses. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA excludes "Other" items related to non-restructuring wind down and severance costs, and transaction and other costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, as well as all adjustments related to recording the non-cash tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been revised to conform to the current definition.
    • Free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities minus cash used in purchases of property and equipment.
    • Segment contribution is calculated as segment revenue less expenses directly incurred by or allocated to the segment. Direct segment expenses include costs and expenses that are directly incurred by or allocated to the segment and include materials costs, service costs, customer care and coaching costs, sales and marketing expenses, and bad debt expense. In addition to the previously referenced expenses, the Literacy segment includes direct research and development expenses and Combined Language includes shared research and development expenses, cost of revenue, and sales and marketing expenses applicable to the Consumer Language and E&E Language segments. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect our current segment presentation and definition of segment contribution.

    The definitions, GAAP comparisons, and reconciliation of those measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are available in this press release or in the corresponding earnings presentation, which are posted on our website at www.rosettastone.com

    Management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, enabling a better understanding of the long-term performance of the Company’s business. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, and for budgeting and planning purposes. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other software and education-technology companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

    The presentation of this additional financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing earnings information, including this press release, or in corresponding earnings presentations, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. The Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies, and we encourage you to review and understand all our financial reporting before making any investment decision.
