IRVING, Texas, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brink's Home Security Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CFL), a premier provider of monitored security services in North America, now operating under the brand Broadview Security, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090708/DA43773LOGO)
"Once again, the Company achieved solid financial results, delivering organic growth in revenue and customer count. We are particularly pleased with our 9 percent growth in monthly recurring revenue," said president and chief executive, Bob Allen. He continued, "We introduced our new brand at the beginning of the third quarter and are encouraged by the positive reception of the Broadview Security brand name by both existing and prospective customers. We now believe we will invest between $60 million and $90 million of incremental spending to fully establish our new brand over the next two to three years, versus the previous estimate of between $70 million and $120 million. Despite a weak housing market and high unemployment, our expectations for the full year 2009 remain unchanged: we expect growth in our monthly recurring revenue, GAAP operating profit, and subscriber base. Looking forward to 2010, we expect continued growth in subscribers, monthly recurring revenue, and GAAP operating profit."
Third Quarter Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $143.7 million, representing an increase of 6.1 percent from $135.4 million recorded in the same period last year. The increase in revenue was primarily due to continued growth in the subscriber base, up 4.9 percent from a year ago, and a 4.0 percent increase in average monthly recurring revenue per ending subscriber, partially offset by lower pre-wire and trim-out revenues from our new home builder customers.
Operating profit was $21.3 million, compared to $22.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. The third quarter 2009 operating profit margin was 14.8 percent compared to 16.8 percent in the comparable quarter in 2008. The decrease in margin was largely due to brand introduction costs and an increase in impairment charges related to customer disconnects, partially offset by the reduction in royalty rate charged to the Company by its former parent and higher profits from recurring services on the larger subscriber base. (Historically, the royalty rate had been approximately 7 percent of revenue, but decreased to approximately 1.25 percent of revenue beginning November 1, 2008.) Brand introduction costs reduced operating profit in the third quarter of 2009 by $10.6 million. Excluding the brand introduction costs, operating profit would have been $31.9 million with a 22.2 percent operating margin. Additionally, had the royalty rate been approximately 1.25 percent of revenues in 2008, operating profit in the third quarter of 2008 would have been $30.6 million with a 22.6 percent operating margin.
Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $13.1 million and diluted GAAP earnings per share were $0.28, compared to net income of $14.0 million and pro forma earnings per share of $0.30 in the same period last year. (The terminology 'pro forma earnings per share' is used in conjunction with the financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company was not public at that time and the fully diluted number of shares outstanding was, therefore, calculated on a 'pro forma' basis.) The decrease in net income was primarily due to the brand introduction costs and, to a lesser extent, increased impairment costs related to subscriber disconnects. These higher expenses were partially offset by lower royalty expense incurred in the third quarter of 2009 and, to a lesser extent, the profit impact of the larger subscriber base. Brand introduction costs reduced net income by $6.5 million, or $0.14 per share, in the third quarter of 2009.
Non-GAAP Information
Non-GAAP Financial Results
In the table below, non-GAAP financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been adjusted to exclude the brand introduction expenses incurred in the respective periods. The three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 non-GAAP financial results were adjusted to reflect the current royalty rate of 1.25 percent. A complete reconciliation of these non-GAAP figures can be found in the attached schedules.
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

------------------ -------------------
(In millions, except per 2009 2008 2009 2008
share data) -------- -------- -------- --------
(b), (c) (a), (c) (b), (c) (a), (c)
Non-GAAP Operating Profit $31.9 $30.6 $87.8 $91.7
Non-GAAP Net Income $19.6 $18.8 $53.8 $56.1
Non-GAAP Earnings per share
- diluted $0.42 $0.40 $1.17 $1.22
(a) Historically, the Company paid its former parent a royalty of
7 percent on revenues in the United States and 3 percent on revenues
in Canada. On November 1, 2008, the royalty rate changed to
approximately 1.25 percent of revenues and will continue to be
calculated on that basis until the earlier of October 31, 2011 or when
the Company ceases the active use of the Brink's brand name and
terminates its brand license agreement. The non-GAAP financial results
above have been adjusted to calculate the results as if the royalty
rate had been approximately 1.25 percent of revenue for all periods
presented. The adjustment to operating profit for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2008 was $7.8 million and $22.4 million,
respectively. The adjustment to net income is $4.8 million, or $0.10
per share earnings on a diluted basis, and $13.8 million, or $0.30 per
share earnings on a diluted basis, respectively.
(b) Brand introduction expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 were $10.6 million, or $0.14 per share on a diluted
basis, and $13.9 million, or $0.19 per share on a diluted basis,
respectively. The non-GAAP figures above have been adjusted to exclude
the effect of these expenses.
(c) In 2009, the Company incurred non-cash litigation charges related to a
previously disclosed matter involving an unfavorable jury award
associated with a suit brought by a former employee. A revised
judgment was recently received for the suit associated with this
non-cash litigation charge. Accordingly, for the three months ended
September 30 2009 a non-cash credit was recorded benefitting the
quarter in the amount of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share earnings on
a diluted basis. The net non-cash litigation charges for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 were $3.2 million, or $0.04 per share
earnings on a diluted basis. In 2008, a previously disclosed non-cash
accounting correction increased operating profit by $2.4 million, net
income by $1.5 million and earnings per share by $0.03 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. The non-GAAP figures above have not
been adjusted to exclude the effect of these items.
Metrics
Monthly recurring revenue ("MRR") increased 9.0 percent at quarter-end over prior year to $43.4 million, driven by a 4.9 percent increase in ending subscribers and a 4.0 percent increase in average monthly recurring revenue per subscriber.
Adjusted EBITDA from recurring services for the third quarter increased 10.5 percent to $90.5 million compared to $81.9 million in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted cash invested in new subscribers for the third quarter was $67.3 million compared to $62.0 million in the year-ago quarter.
Please see the attached schedules for a more detailed explanation of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their closest GAAP counterparts.
Other Information
The Company ended the third quarter of 2009 with net subscriber additions of approximately 10,100 compared to approximately 13,800 in the same quarter last year. Approximately 41,800 new customer systems were installed during the third quarter of 2009 compared to approximately 42,700 installations in the same period one year ago. The lower volume of installations continues to reflect the weakness in the housing market and continued high unemployment rates.
The annualized disconnect rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 9.4 percent, up from 9.0 percent in the prior year. The increase is due to comparatively more customers requesting termination of service for reasons other than household relocation. Customers continue to cite household financial pressure as a major reason for terminating service. A decrease in disconnects due to customer relocations was offset by an increase in financial write offs of customer accounts. The trailing twelve month disconnect rate at the end of the third quarter was 8.1 percent, up from 7.3 percent in the prior year.
The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 38.5 percent, compared to 38.0 percent in the prior year period.
Capital expenditures totaled $48.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $45.2 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
As of September 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $108.5 million compared to $103.2 million and $63.6 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable (net of allowance), were $36.3 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $35.5 million at June 30, 2009. The Company has no long-term debt and has not borrowed on its credit facility.
The Company launched its new brand, Broadview Security, on June 30, 2009 and is progressing in its effort to build awareness of the new brand. The Company spent $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2009, $2.2 million in the second quarter and $10.6 million in the third quarter in brand development, marketing, and conversion costs. The Company currently expects to spend between $7 million and $10 million in brand introduction costs in the fourth quarter of 2009. Consequently, the estimated full year 2009 brand introduction spending is expected to range between $21 million and $24 million. Previously, the Company indicated that total brand introduction costs spread over a multi-year period were anticipated to be between $70 million and $120 million. The Company now believes the incremental spending will range from $60 million to $90 million depending upon new brand awareness levels and the ability to attract new subscribers through marketing efforts. Spending associated with the brand introduction in 2010 is currently estimated to range between $30 million and $40 million.
Financial Outlook
For full year 2009, the Company expects revenue growth to be in the mid single digit range, driven by mid single digit growth in the subscriber base, and upper single digit growth in monthly recurring revenue. The Company expects growth in GAAP operating profit for full year 2009. The full year 2009 disconnect rate is now expected to range between 8.0 percent and 8.2 percent.
Looking forward to 2010, the Company expects mid single digit growth in net subscribers, high single digit growth in revenue and monthly recurring revenue, and positive growth in GAAP operating profit.

(a) Cost of Revenues includes royalty expense charged to the Company by
its former parent company for use of the Brink's brand name. The rate
utilized for fiscal 2008 for the months January through October was a
rate of 7 percent of revenues in the United States and 3 percent of
revenues outside the United States. However, for the months of
November and December 2008, the rate utilized was approximately
1.25 percent of revenues for both within and outside of the United
States. Similarly, the rate used for the first, second and third
quarters of 2009 was approximately 1.25 percent of revenues and will
continue to be approximately 1.25 percent until the earlier of
October 31, 2011 or when the Company ceases the active use of the
Brink's brand name.
(b) For the period ended September 30, 2009, basic earnings per share
("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period ended September 30,
2009. Diluted EPS is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the
dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units
outstanding as of September 30, 2009. Basic and diluted earnings per
share for the period ended September 30, 2008 were computed on a pro
forma basis using the average number of shares of the Company's common
stock outstanding from October 31, 2008 to December 31, 2008. The
number of diluted shares used in the calculation is based on the
number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding plus the
estimated potential dilution that could have occurred if options and
restricted stock units granted under the Company's equity-based
compensation arrangements were exercised or converted into the
Company's common stock.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release and related conference call, webcast or slide presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Certain of these measures differ from GAAP in that they exclude certain amounts of royalty expense incurred by the Company on a historical basis. Historically, the Company paid its former parent company a royalty of 7 percent on revenues in the United States and 3 percent on revenues in Canada. On November 1, 2008, the royalty rate changed to approximately 1.25 percent of revenues and will continue to be calculated on that basis until the earlier of October 31, 2011 or when the Company ceases the active use of the "Brink's" brand name. In deriving the non-GAAP financial measures, the historical royalty rate was calculated using a rate of approximately 1.25 percent and adjusting for the related tax effect. Additionally, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2009, the Company derived non-GAAP measures by adjusting for brand introduction costs incurred (and the related tax effect, where appropriate) in association with the development of the Company's new brand identity. The Company uses two other non-GAAP financial measures: Monthly Recurring Revenue ("MRR") and adjusted EBITDA from recurring services. MRR differs from GAAP in that certain revenue components, which are included in GAAP revenue, are excluded from the calculation of MRR. These components include certain revenues that are received by the Company, but that are not derived from monthly contractual billing arrangements, the amortization of deferred revenue related to active subscriber accounts, and recognition of deferred revenue related to subscriber accounts that disconnect. Adjusted EBITDA from recurring services differs from GAAP in that adjustments are made to normalize royalties, to add back non-cash expenses, and to make reductions for other non-cash income items. Adjusted cash invested in new subscribers is a Non-GAAP measure that is used to convey the total cash invested to acquire new subscribers and make additional investments, as necessary, in existing subscribers, without regard to the accounting treatment of the various cash components. It is comprised of primarily capitalized security system costs, marketing and selling expenses, and deferred subscriber acquisition costs (current year payments) less deferred revenue from new subscribers (current year receipts). This measure is adjusted to exclude brand introduction costs. The Company's basis for these adjustments is described below.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures for internal reporting and forecasting purposes, for publicly providing its business outlook, and for evaluating the Company's performance. The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial results because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to certain investors and financial analysts for comparison across accounting periods when evaluating the Company's historical and prospective financial performance and, therefore, is useful to investors and financial analysts in helping them to better understand the Company's operating results and underlying operational trends. The Company has historically provided this or similar information and understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company's margins, net income and comparing the Company's financial performance to that of its peer companies and competitors.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The additional non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP (such as operating profit, net income and earnings per share) and should not be considered measures of the Company's liquidity.

a) MRR is calculated based on the number of subscribers at period end

b) Includes amortization of deferred revenue related to active subscriber

c) Revenues that are not pursuant to monthly contractual billings,
including revenues from such sources as ad-hoc field service calls,
product sales and installation fees not subject to deferral, terminated
contract penalty billings for breached contracts, pass-through revenue
(alarm permit fees, false alarm fines, etc.) and partial month revenues
recognized from customers who disconnected during the last month of the
period and are, therefore, not included in MRR. This amount is reduced
for adjustments recorded against revenue (primarily customer goodwill
credits and other billing adjustments), and for the amount included in
MRR for new customers added during the last month of the period for
those portions of the month for which revenues were not recognized for
such customers.
MRR is a non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release and related
conference call and webcast. The Company uses MRR, a non-GAAP measure, to
evaluate performance. The Company believes the presentation of MRR is
useful to investors because the measure is widely used in the industry to
assess the amount of recurring revenues from contracted monitoring and
maintenance services that a monitored security alarm business produces.
This supplemental non-GAAP information should be reviewed in conjunction
with the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA from Recurring Services and Adjusted Cash Invested in New Subscribers
Adjusted EBITDA from recurring services and adjusted cash invested in new subscribers are measures used to monitor our cash flow performance. We believe the presentation of adjusted EBITDA from recurring services is useful to investors as it provides a reasonable representation of the Company's ability to generate cash from our established subscriber base, and adjusted cash invested in new subscribers illustrates the cash used to grow the subscriber base. This supplemental non-GAAP information should be reviewed in conjunction with our historical consolidated statements of cash flows.
The table below reconciles adjusted EBITDA from recurring services and adjusted cash invested in new subscribers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, to operating profit, their closest GAAP counterpart.

a) Our results of operations include a royalty expense that was charged to
us by our former parent company for use of certain trademarks. The rate
utilized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was
approximately 7 percent of revenues in the United States and 3 percent
of revenues outside of the United States. However, for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the rate used was approximately
1.25 percent of revenues for both within and outside the United States.
For comparison purposes, the current royalty rate of 1.25 percent was
used for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. During
2008, a portion of royalty expense was allocated to investment in new
subscribers (and is therefore excluded from this adjustment).
b) Amount excludes non-security system capital expenditures of
$3.3 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and $2.9 million and $7.4 million for the prior year
comparable periods.
c) Brand introduction expenses are excluded from adjusted cash invested in
new subscribers.

a) The Company's results of operations include a royalty expense that was
charged to the Company by its former parent company for use of the
Brink's brand name. The rate utilized for fiscal year 2008 for the
months January through October was a 7 percent rate in the United
States and 3 percent outside of the United States. However, for the
months of November and December 2008, the rate used was approximately
1.25 percent of revenue for both within and outside the United States.
b) Non-GAAP figures for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 as presented in the table above include the effect
of the previously referenced non-cash litigation charges (see footnote
(b) in the previous table reconciling adjusted EBITDA from recurring
services to operating profit). The net charge for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 was $3.2 million, or $0.04 per share earnings on a
diluted basis. A revised judgment was recently received for the suit
associated with this non-cash litigation charge. Accordingly, for the
three months ended September 30 2009 a non-cash credit was recorded
benefitting the quarter in the amount of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per
share earnings on a diluted basis.
