TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX), a leading global web development platform, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company also raised its full year 2014 financial outlook and introduced its outlook for the third quarter of 2014.

"We realized two major milestones during the period as we surpassed 50 million registered users and one million premium subscriptions," said Avishai Abrahami, CEO and Co-Founder of Wix. "Our exceptional growth is a direct result of our constant expansion of offerings on the Wix platform. By developing more products and solutions that cater to the needs of our users, we are providing them with the technology to easily build a professional-looking website as well as with business management capabilities that deliver a complete solution for their digital presence beyond website creation."

"At the core of the Wix platform are powerful products that serve the needs of millions of businesses across a wide variety of verticals. The new WixShoutOut product is a classic example where we simplify the communication flow between site owners and their audience. We are also applying our understanding of our users' businesses to further enhance Wix's product offerings by developing tailored solutions for specific vertical markets, the first of which, WixHotels, is being launched today," Abrahami added.

The Company is also announcing improved guidance on collections, revenue and new adjusted EBITDA. "The value of our products and technology to millions of users worldwide is reflected in our financial performance this quarter. We continue to see strong growth in our collections and revenue, and as a result we are happy to increase our outlook for the full year on the top line and for new adjusted EBITDA," (as further explained below), said Lior Shemesh, CFO.

Financial Highlights

New Non-GAAP Financial Metric

Over the last two quarters, deferred revenue has grown significantly, primarily driven by an increased percent of annual subscription packages purchased compared to monthly subscription packages. As a result, beginning with the second quarter of 2014, the Company will change how it calculates adjusted EBITDA. The new calculation of adjusted EBITDA will now include changes in deferred revenue and changes in prepaid domain registration costs. This change will better reflect the Company's financial performance and will provide a financial metric that management now uses to evaluate the cash profitability of the business.

For all historical periods and for the remainder of 2014, Wix will continue to disclose adjusted EBITDA calculated under the prior definition, which for ease of reference will be referred to as "Prior adjusted EBITDA." The Company will refer to the new calculation method as Adjusted EBITDA and, if needed for clarity in comparison to Prior adjusted EBITDA, as "New adjusted EBITDA." Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the Company will only disclose New adjusted EBITDA.

Business Highlights

Financial Outlook

For the third quarter of 2014, the Company is introducing the following outlook:

For the full year 2014, the Company is increasing its outlook for collections and revenue. It is also reiterating its outlook for prior adjusted EBITDA and formally introducing its outlook for new adjusted EBITDA:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Wix uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: collections, prior adjusted EBITDA, new adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures"). Collections represent the total cash collected by us from our customers in a given period and are calculated by adding the change in deferred revenues for a particular period to revenues for the same period. Prior adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before financial expenses (income), net, other expenses, taxes on income, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, withdrawn secondary offering expenses, and acquisition related expenses. New adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before financial expenses (income), net, other expenses, taxes on income, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, withdrawn secondary offering expenses, acquisition related expenses, changes in deferred revenue and changes in prepaid domain registration costs.

Free cash flow represents cash flow from operating activities minus capital expenditures. Non-GAAP net loss represents net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense and other non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP net loss per share represents non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares used in computing GAAP loss per share.

The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table in this press release. This accompanying table has more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. The company has not reconciled adjusted EBITDA guidance to net profit because it does not provide guidance for net profit. As items that impact net profit are out of the company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, the company is unable to provide such guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation to net profit is not available without unreasonable effort.
