Priceline.com Reports Financial Results for 2nd Quarter 2007

Priceline.com Incorporated (Nasdaq: PCLN) today reported its financial results for the 2nd quarter 2007. Gross travel bookings for the 2nd quarter, which refers to the total dollar value, inclusive of all taxes and fees, of all travel services purchased by consumers, rose 33% year-over-year to $1.2 billion.

Priceline.com had GAAP revenues in the 2nd quarter of $355.9 million, a 15.7% increase over a year ago. Priceline.coms GAAP gross profit for the 2nd quarter was $157.2 million, up 48.6% from the prior year. Priceline.com had GAAP net income for the 2nd quarter 2007 of $34.6 million or $0.79 per diluted share, which compares to a $12.5 million or $0.28 per diluted share in the same period a year ago.

Priceline.com reported pro forma revenues in the 2nd quarter of $353.6 million, a 14.9% increase over a year ago. Pro forma gross profit for the 2nd quarter 2007 was $154.9 million, an increase of 45.9% over the same period in the prior year. Pro forma net income for the quarter was $47.3 million or $1.11 per diluted share, which compares to $23.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share in the same period a year ago. First Call analyst consensus for the 2nd quarter 2007 was $0.89 per diluted share. The section below entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures provides a definition and information about the use of pro forma financial measures in this press release and the attached financial and statistical supplement reconciles pro forma financial information with priceline.coms financial results under GAAP.

Priceline.coms earnings performance in the second quarter exceeded our previous expectations for both the international and domestic businesses, said priceline.com President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffery H. Boyd. Internationally, Booking.coms results were driven by 93% growth in gross bookings, which continues to outperform market growth rates. Domestic gross bookings fell within the range of our guidance, but earnings growth exceeded our expectations due to strong organic growth in merchant hotel and rental cars and more efficient marketing.

Based on the strength we have seen in our international and domestic businesses as the summer unfolds, we are increasing our guidance for the balance of the year, Mr. Boyd said. In particular, we believe the scale we have achieved in worldwide hotel sales and our low-cost leadership has provided us with opportunities to grow organically and geographically which are reflected in our recent reported results. We intend to continue our vigorous pursuit of those opportunities going forward.

Forward Guidance

Priceline.com said it was targeting the following for 3rd quarter 2007:

  • Year-over-year increases in overall gross travel bookings of approximately 43% to 46%.
  • Year-over-year increases in gross travel bookings from Booking.com of approximately 85% to 90%.
  • Year-over-year increase in pro forma revenue of approximately 20% to 25%.
  • Year-over-year increase in pro forma gross profit of approximately 50% to 54%.
  • Pro forma net income of between $1.21 and $1.31 per diluted share.

In view of the companys stronger than expected performance in the 2nd quarter 2007, priceline.com revised its full year guidance as follows:

  • Consolidated gross travel bookings of $4.50 to $4.65 billion
  • International gross travel bookings of $2.45 to $2.55 billion
  • Pro forma net income of between $3.50 and $3.65 per diluted share

Pro forma guidance for the 3rd quarter and full year 2007:

  • excludes cash expenses associated with the settlement of the 2000 securities litigation,
  • excludes the cash benefit associated with the refund of excise taxes (and related accrued interest) paid on merchant airline tickets,
  • excludes non-cash amortization expense of acquisition-related intangibles,
  • excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense,
  • excludes option payroll tax expense,
  • excludes non-cash income tax expense and reflects the impact on income taxes of the pro forma adjustments,
  • excludes non-cash preferred stock dividends,
  • includes the additional impact on minority interest expense of the pro forma adjustments described above,
  • includes the anti-dilutive impact of the "Conversion Spread Hedges" (see below) on outstanding diluted common shares outstanding, and
  • includes the dilutive impact of additional shares of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units because pro forma net income has been adjusted to exclude preferred stock dividend and stock-based compensation.

When aggregated, the foregoing adjustments are expected to increase pro forma net income over GAAP net income by approximately $13 million for the 3rd quarter 2007 and $70 million for full-year 2007. On a per share basis, the Company estimates GAAP net income of approximately $0.90 to $1.00 per diluted share for the 3rd quarter 2007 and GAAP net income of approximately $1.82 to $1.97 per diluted share for the full-year 2007.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is expected to propose a FASB Staff Position (FSP) that would significantly impact the accounting for convertible debt. The proposal would require cash settled convertible debt to be separated into debt and equity components at issuance and a value to be assigned to each. The value assigned to the debt component would be the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar bond without the conversion feature. The difference between the bond cash proceeds and this estimated fair value would be recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the life of the bond. Although the FSP would have no impact on priceline.coms actual past or future cash flows, it would require priceline.com to record a significant amount of non-cash interest expense as the debt discount is amortized. As a result, there would be a material adverse impact on pricelines reported GAAP results of operations and earnings per share. The expected proposal, if approved, is likely to become effective January 1, 2008 for priceline and require retrospective application.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Pro forma revenue, Pro forma gross profit, pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share are "non-GAAP financial measures," as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Priceline.com believes that pro forma revenue, pro forma gross profit, pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share that exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring income or expense items are useful for investors to evaluate priceline.com's future on-going performance because they enable a more meaningful comparison of priceline.com's projected cash earnings and performance with its historical results from prior periods. Pro forma financial information is adjusted for the following items:

  • Cash expenses associated with the settlement of the 2000 securities litigation are excluded because of the non-recurring nature of the settlement.
  • Cash benefit associated with the refund of excise taxes paid (and related accrued interest) on merchant airline tickets is excluded because of its non-recurring nature.
  • Amortization expense of acquisition-related intangibles is excluded from pro forma gross profit and pro forma net income because it does not impact cash earnings.
  • Stock-based compensation expense and the non-cash expense associated with the payment of preferred stock dividends are excluded from pro forma net income because they do not impact cash earnings and are reflected in earnings per share through increased share counts.
  • Option payroll tax expense is excluded because the expense is driven primarily by stock option exercise activity and the market price of priceline.com's common stock and often shows volatility unrelated to operating results.
  • The restructuring charge, net is excluded because it can impact comparability of earnings with historical results from prior periods.
  • Income tax expense is adjusted for the tax impact of certain of the pro forma adjustments described above and to exclude tax expense recorded where no actual tax payments are owed because of available net operating loss carryforwards.
  • Minority interest is adjusted for the impact of certain of the pro forma adjustments described above.
  • Finally, for calculating pro forma net income per share:
    -- net income is adjusted for the impact of the pro forma
       adjustments described above
    -- fully diluted share count is adjusted to include the
       anti-dilutive impact of the Conversion Spread Hedges that
       increase the effective conversion price of the 2011 Notes and
       2013 Notes from their stated $40.38 conversion price to an
       effective conversion price of $50.47 per share. Under GAAP,
       the anti-dilutive impact of the Conversion Spread Hedges is not
       reflected on the outstanding diluted share count until the end
       of the hedge when shares are delivered.
    -- fully diluted share count in 2006 is adjusted to exclude the
       impact of EITF 04-08 ("Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt
       on Diluted Earnings per Share"), because the common stock that
       underlie priceline.com's 1% Convertible Senior Notes and
       priceline.com's 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes were not
       issuable because our common stock did not trade above the
       respective contingent conversion prices.
    -- All common stock warrants and shares of restricted common stock
       are included in the calculation of pro forma net income per
       share because pro forma net income has been adjusted to exclude
       our preferred stock dividend and stock-based compensation
       expense.

The presentation of this financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The attached financial and statistical supplement reconciles pro forma financial information with priceline.coms financial results under GAAP.

Estimated Impact of Share Price Movements on Weighted Average GAAP and Pro Forma Diluted Shares Outstanding
In millions
(Unaudited)

The following table is intended to demonstrate the estimated potential impact of share price movements on the number of equivalent shares included in the fully diluted share count used to calculate diluted earnings per share. Actual results are likely to differ due to the impact of option exercises, equity repurchases, issuances and forfeitures and any conversions of our convertible bonds. The table below is for illustrative purposes only; the company is unable to predict its future stock price and the company's stock could trade below or above the per share prices in the table below.

1) Reflects the anti-dilutive impact of the "Conversion Spread Hedges" and the dilutive impact of additional warrants and shares of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units because pro forma net income has been adjusted to exclude preferred stock dividend and stock-based compensation.

2) Weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is estimated using actual daily share prices through August 6th and the closing share price assumption indicated for all other trading days in the period.

3Q07: Uses actual daily share prices from July 1, 2007 through August 6, 2007, and the closing share price assumption from August 7, 2007 through September 30, 2007.

2007: Uses actual daily share prices from Jan 1, 2007 through August 6, 2007, and the closing share price assumption from August 7, 2007 through December 31, 2007.
