Quarterly Report
annual basis by providing a credit card or check form of payment. Fees are
recorded initially as deferred revenue and then recognized as earned revenue on
a daily basis over the prepaid subscription period.
We also generate a small amount of revenue from professional services which
primarily consist of the creation of customized templates for our customers.
Revenue generated from professional services accounted for less than 2% of gross
revenue for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses
We allocate certain overhead expenses, such as rent, utilities, office supplies
and depreciation of general office assets to cost of revenue and operating
expense categories based on headcount. As a result, an overhead expense
allocation is reflected in cost of revenue and each operating expense category.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of wages and benefits for
software operations and customer support personnel, credit card processing fees,
and depreciation, maintenance and hosting of our software applications
underlying our product offerings. We allocate a portion of customer support
costs relating to assisting trial customers to sales and marketing expense.
The expenses related to our hosted software applications are affected by the
number of customers who subscribe to our products and the complexity and
redundancy of our software applications and hosting infrastructure. We expect
cost of revenue to increase moderately as a percentage of revenue for the
remainder of 2008 as we plan to expand our operations to include a second sales
and support office and as we absorb the full impact to cost of our recently
opened second third-party hosting facility. Over the longer term, we anticipate
that these expenses will increase in absolute dollars but decrease as a
percentage of revenue as we expect to continue to increase our number of
customers over time.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of
wages and benefits for product strategy and development personnel. We have
focused our research and development efforts on both improving ease of use and
functionality of our existing products as well as developing new offerings. We
primarily expense research and development costs. The small percentage of direct
development costs related to software enhancements which add functionality are
capitalized and depreciated as a component of cost of revenue. We expect that on
an annual basis research and development expenses will increase in absolute
dollars, but decrease as a percentage of revenue, as we expect to continue to
enhance and expand our product offerings.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
advertising and promotional costs, wages and benefits for sales and marketing
personnel, partner referral fees, and the portion of customer support costs that
relate to assisting trial customers. Advertising costs consist primarily of
pay-per-click payments to search engines, other online and offline advertising
media, including radio and print advertisements, as well as the costs to create
and produce these advertisements. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Promotional costs consist primarily of public relations, memberships, and event
costs. Our advertising and promotional expenditures have historically been
highest in the fourth quarter of each year as this reflects a period of
increased sales and marketing activity for many small organizations. In order to
continue to grow our business and brand and category awareness, we expect that
we will continue to commit substantial resources to our sales and marketing
efforts. As a result, we expect that on an annual basis sales and marketing
expenses will increase in absolute dollars, but decrease as a percentage of
revenue, as we anticipate that we will continue to grow.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of wages and benefits for administrative, human resources, legal,
internal information technology support, finance and accounting personnel,
professional fees, other taxes and other corporate expenses. We expect that
general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to add
personnel in connection with the anticipated growth of our business and incur
further costs related to operating as a public company. Therefore, we expect
that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars
as we continue to grow and operate as a public company.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our
financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates,
assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets,
liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We believe
that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to
the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC, the following accounting
policies involve the most judgment and complexity:
• Revenue recognition
• Income taxes
• Software and website development costs
• Stock-based compensation
Accordingly, we believe the policies set forth above are critical to aid in
fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of
operations. If actual results or events differ materially from the estimates,
judgments and assumptions used by us in applying these policies, our reported
financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies since
December 31, 2007. For further information please see the discussion of critical
accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $18.2 million, an
increase of $8.5 million, or 87%, over revenue of $9.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in revenue resulted primarily from an
82% increase in the number of average monthly email marketing customers and an
increase in average revenue per customer. Average monthly email marketing
customers increased to 175,183 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 from
96,384 in the three months ended March 31, 2007, while average revenue per
customer in the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased to $34.57 from
$33.59 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect our average revenue
per customer to increase in 2008 as we expect to generate additional revenue
from our email marketing customers for add-ons to the email marketing product
and from our survey product.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was
$4.8 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 75%, over cost of revenue of
$2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of
revenue, cost of revenue was 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
28% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in absolute dollars
primarily resulted from an 82% increase in the number of average monthly email
marketing customers which resulted in increased hosting and operations expense
and customer support costs. Of the increase in cost of revenue, $1.1 million
resulted from increased personnel costs attributable to additional employees in
our customer support and operations groups to support customer growth.
Additionally, $602,000 resulted from increased depreciation, hosting and
maintenance costs as a result of scaling and adding capacity to our hosting
infrastructure, and $213,000 related to increased credit card fees due to a
higher volume of billing transactions. We expect cost of revenue to increase
modestly as a percentage of revenue for the remainder of 2008 as we expand our
operations to include a second sales and support office and as we absorb the
full impact to cost of our recently opened second third-party hosting facility.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 were $3.3 million, an increase of
$1.1 million, or 54%, over research and development expenses of $2.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to
additional personnel related
costs of $1.0 million because we increased the number of research and
development employees to further enhance our products. We expect research and
development expenses to increase in absolute dollars but decrease as a
percentage of revenue.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 were $8.7 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 42%,
over sales and marketing expenses of $6.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased advertising and
promotional expenditures of $1.1 million due to continued expansion of our
multi-channel marketing strategy. Additionally, personnel related costs
increased by $871,000 because we added employees to accommodate the growth in
sales leads. In addition, partner referral fees increased by $216,000 as the
number of new customers generated from our channel partners increased. We expect
sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars but decrease as a
percentage of revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 were $2.0 million, an increase of $900,000, or
87%, over general and administrative expenses of $1.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to additional
personnel related costs of $566,000 because we increased the number of general
and administrative employees to support our overall growth, and to increased
stock-based compensation expense due to the increase in the value of our common
stock. We also incurred increased insurance and professional fees to support the
reporting and regulatory requirements of a public company.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income (expense),
net for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $976,000, an increase of
$1.3 million from interest and other income (expense), net of ($291,000) for the
three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $832,000
increase in interest income from investments in marketable securities and cash
equivalents primarily due to an increase in the balance of investments and cash
equivalents as a result of the proceeds we received in our initial public
offering, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2007. Additionally in
2007, we accounted for an outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock
warrant as a liability held at fair market with changes in value recorded as
other expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded a charge
of $420,000 relating to this warrant. As a result of the exercise of the warrant
in the fourth quarter of 2007 we no longer record warrant related charges.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities of $102 million.
Since our inception we have financed our operations primarily through the sale
of redeemable convertible preferred stock, issuance of convertible promissory
notes, borrowings under credit facilities and, to a lesser extent, cash flow
from operations. On October 9, 2007, we completed our initial public offering,
in which we issued and sold 6,199,845 shares of common stock at a price to the
public of $16.00 per share. We raised approximately $90.4 million in net
proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other
offering costs. We used $2.6 million of proceeds to repay our outstanding
principal and interest under our term loan facility. Subsequent to the end of
our first quarter in 2008, we completed a secondary public offering in which we
issued and sold 314,465 shares of common stock at a price to the public of
$16.00 per share. We raised approximately $4.1 million in net proceeds after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering
costs. In the future, we anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will
be cash generated from our operating activities.
Cash Provided By Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Net cash provided by
operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted of the
contribution from net income of $338,000, working capital accounts of
$2.1 million and non-cash charges of $1.4 million. The contribution from working
capital accounts was primarily due to an increase in deferred revenue of
$1.7 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other receivables of
$259,000. Cash provided by an increase in accrued
expenses of $1.2 million was mostly offset by a decrease in accounts payable of
$1.1 million. The non-cash charges consisted primarily of depreciation and
amortization of $882,000 and stock-based compensation expense of $560,000. Net
cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of
$1.8 million consisted of the net loss of $2.7 million and net change in working
capital accounts of $140,000 partially offset by non-cash charges of $991,000.
Working capital accounts used cash primarily due to an increase in prepaid
expenses and other receivables of $289,000 and a decrease in accounts payable
and accrued expense totaling $1.2 million partially offset by an increase in
deferred revenue of $1.4 million. The non-cash charges consisted primarily of
depreciation and amortization of $532,000 and the change in fair value of the
redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant of $420,000.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $147,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared to $921,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31,
2008 consisted primarily of cash paid to purchase property and equipment of
$3.2 million partially offset by cash received from the maturities of marketable
securities of $3.1 million. Property and equipment purchases consist of hardware
and software to support our product infrastructure, capitalization of certain
software development costs, computer equipment for our employees and equipment
and leasehold improvements primarily related to additional office space. Net
cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007
of $921,000 consisted primarily of net cash paid to purchase property and
equipment of $985,000 and an increase in restricted cash due to an amendment to
the Company's operating lease partially offset by proceeds from the net change
in short-term marketable securities.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities was $313,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 and was primarily due to the payments of issuance costs for our
secondary public offering of common stock, which was completed in the second
quarter of 2008. We capitalized issuance costs of $354,000 for our secondary
public offering and as of March 31, 2008, these amounts were included in prepaid
expenses and other current assets. This was partially offset by proceeds from
the issuance of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options. Net
cash used in financing activities was $126,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and consisted of repayment of outstanding borrowings under the
term loan facility of $137,000 partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of
our common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options.

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned and will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, development of new products, market acceptance of our products, the levels of advertising and promotion required to launch additional products and improve our competitive position in the marketplace, the expansion of our sales, support and marketing organizations, the establishment of additional offices in the United States and worldwide and the building of infrastructure necessary to support our anticipated growth, the response of competitors to our products and our relationships with suppliers and clients. Since the introduction of our on-demand email marketing product in 2000, we have experienced increases in our expenditures consistent
with the growth in our operations and personnel, and we anticipate that our
expenditures will continue to increase in the future.
We opened a second third-party hosting facility in the first quarter of 2008 to
provide additional redundancy and increased scaleability for our product
infrastructure. We made capital expenditures in 2007 and in early 2008 and plan
to make additional capital expenditures in 2008 for capital equipment to be used
in this facility. We also plan to open a second sales and support office in the
second half of 2008. We anticipate making capital commitments in 2008 and 2009
associated with the build-out and outfitting of this office. Additionally we
anticipate continuing investments in property and equipment to support the
anticipated growth in our business. We believe that our current cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities and operating cash flows will be
sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for
at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, we may need to raise additional
funds through public or private financings or borrowings to develop or enhance
products, to fund expansion, to respond to competitive pressures or to acquire
complementary products, businesses or technologies. If required, additional
financing may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. If
we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt
securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced and
these securities might have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those
of our current stockholders. No assurance can be given that additional financing
will be available or that, if available, such financing can be obtained on terms
favorable to our stockholders and us.
During the last three years, inflation and changing prices have not had a
material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing
prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.
Subsequent to the end of our first quarter in 2008, we completed a secondary
public offering in which we issued and sold 314,465 shares of common stock at a
price to the public of $16.00 per share. We raised approximately $4.1 million in
net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other
estimated offering costs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities. We do not have
any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities, which
include special purpose entities and other structured finance entities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115, or SFAS 159, which permits companies to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective
of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. As of January 1, 2008 and for the period ended March 31,
2008, we elected not to apply the fair value option to any of our financial
assets or liabilities.
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS
157, for financial assets and liabilities, which defines fair value, establishes
