Interland Reports Financial Results for Transition Period

Feb. 9, 2006

ATLANTA, Feb. 9, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Interland (Nasdaq:INLD), soon to be Web.com, Inc., a leading provider of websites and online services for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today reported results for its transition period ended December 31, 2005. As previously reported, Interland moved from its past practice of reporting on a fiscal year ending August 31, to a conventional calendar reporting year ending December 31 beginning on January 1, 2006. As a result, the company is required to report financial results for the transition period including the months of September, October, November (which was previously reported) and December. This transition report is pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the transition period from September 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005.

Summary of Four Month Transition Period Results:

  • Total revenues for the four-month period were $16.3 million.
  • Net loss for the four-month period was $3.0 million, or negative $0.19 per share.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") (1) for the four-month period was negative $1.5 million. This included restructuring charges, net of one time gains, of roughly $0.8 million and stock-based compensation of approximately $0.5 million.
  • Cash and investment position, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $17.4 million and restricted investments of $9.3 million, was $26.7 million.

"This transition period gives investors an added window into our financials which showed the overall health of the business getting stronger," stated Jeff Stibel, President and CEO, Interland.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) less (i) provision for income taxes, (ii) interest income or expense, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not an indicator of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to similarly captioned information reported by other companies. In addition, it does not replace net income (loss), operating income (loss), or cash flows from operating activities as indicators of operating performance. The effect of taxes and interest on Interland's net loss is not significant, but depreciation and amortization, primarily as a result of acquisitions, is significant. The Company believes that measuring the performance of the business without regard to non-cash depreciation and amortization can make trends in operating results more readily apparent, and when considered with other information, assist investors and other users of the Company's financial statements who wish to evaluate the Company's ability to generate future cash flows.

The following table reflects the calculation of EBITDA from continuing operations and a reconciliation to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities:
