Digital River Announces Third Quarter 2009 Financial ResultsMINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 3, 2009 - Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), a leading provider of global e-commerce solutions, reports its third quarter financial results. Third Quarter Ended Sept. 30, 2009 Third quarter GAAP net income was $11.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. This compared to GAAP net income of $15.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. These results were consistent with management's third quarter earnings guidance of $0.26 - $0.29 per diluted share. Non-GAAP Results Non-GAAP net income is computed by starting with GAAP pre-tax income as reported on the company's statement of income, then adding back amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and stock-based compensation expense, to calculate non-GAAP pre-tax income. This amount is then taxed at 27 percent to arrive at non-GAAP net income. This amount is then divided by fully-diluted GAAP shares outstanding, which includes shares underlying the company's convertible senior notes, to derive non-GAAP diluted net income per share. To provide further clarity, a detailed reconciliation on the comparability of the GAAP and non-GAAP data has been provided in table form following the financial statements accompanying this release. "Our third quarter revenue and earnings results exceeded our expectations," said Joel Ronning, Digital River's CEO. "Our performance was supported by accelerating top-line growth in software, consumer electronics and games - markets where we continue to expand existing client relationships and close new business. While Symantec's decision to move its e-commerce platform in-house was disappointing, we believe these third quarter results continue to demonstrate the strength of our overall business and value proposition. We remain confident in the future prospects for our business and in our ability to take the actions necessary to continue to drive growth and profitability." 2009 Guidance Fourth Quarter Full Year Digital River will hold a conference call today at 4:45 p.m. EST to discuss third quarter financial results.
