Q2 2016 Business and Financial Highlights


    --  End of Period Subscribers were up 5.0% for Q2 2016 versus the prior year
        period, driven by continued recruitment growth in North America where
        End of Period Subscribers increased 8.6%, partially offset by declines
        in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. Globally in Q2 2016, End
        of Period Meetings Subscribers were up 6.6% and End of Period Online
        Subscribers were up 3.8%, both driven by solid gains in North America.
    --  Total Paid Weeks in Q2 2016 were up 4.2% as compared to the prior year
        period, with a Meeting Paid Weeks increase of 5.5% and an Online Paid
        Weeks increase of 3.1%.  These gains were driven by strength in North
        America where Total Paid Weeks grew 8.1% year-over-year, partially
        offset by declines in international segments.
    --  Total Revenues in Q2 2016 were $309.8 million. On a constant-currency
        basis, total revenues increased 0.7% versus the prior year period.
        --  Service Revenues in Q2 2016 were $251.6 million. On a
            constant-currency basis, these revenues increased 1.2% versus the
            prior year period, as growth in North America of 4.8% on a constant
            currency basis was partially offset by declines in international
            markets.
        --  Product Sales and Other in Q2 2016 were $58.2 million. On a
            constant-currency basis, these revenues decreased 1.1% versus the
            prior year period as growth in North America of 10.9% on a constant
            currency basis was offset by declines in international markets.
    --  Operating Income in Q2 2016 was $73.7 million. On a constant-currency
        basis, operating income increased 4.9% versus the prior year period. 
        Adjusted Operating Income in Q2 2016 was also $73.7 million, up 4.6% on
        a constant-currency basis versus the prior year period.
    --  Tax Rate in Q2 2016 was 31.5%, as compared to 40.2% in the prior year
        period. Q2 2016 results include a $2.5 million reversal of a valuation
        allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are now
        expected to be realized.
    --  GAAP Net Income was $30.5 million in Q2 2016, compared to $27.9 million
        in the prior year period.
    --  GAAP Earnings per fully diluted share (EPS) was $0.46 in Q2 2016,
        compared to $0.49 per fully diluted share in the prior year period.

Items Affecting Year Over Year EPS Comparability

Q2 2016 had a higher share count as compared to Q2 2015 which negatively impacted Q2 2016 EPS by $0.07.

Q2 2016 results benefited from a $2.5 million (or $0.04 per fully diluted share) reversal of a valuation allowance related to tax benefits for foreign losses that are now expected to be realized.

Q2 2015 results benefited from a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $6.7 million ($4.1 million after tax or $0.07 per fully diluted share) for its previously disclosed debt prepayment in the quarter.

Other Items


    --  Cash balance was $114.5 million as of July 2, 2016, which included $48.0
        million outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility.
    --  Revolving Credit Facility: Subsequent to the end of Q2 2016, the Company
        paid down $25.0 million of the $48.0 million outstanding on its
        revolving credit facility.  The Company anticipates paying down the
        remaining balance during Q3 2016.
    --  R&D Tax Credit: Prompted by Congress' decision to make the Federal R&D
        tax credit permanent in December 2015, the Company has undertaken a
        comprehensive assessment of its U.S. taxes and its technology
        investments. While the analysis is not yet complete, it is currently
        estimated that the Company may be eligible for tax credits relating to
        its previously incurred technology investments. Subject to completion of
        its more comprehensive assessment, in Q3 2016, the Company expects to
        record a tax benefit which will positively impact Q3 EPS by
        approximately $0.10 per share.

Full Year Fiscal 2016 Earnings Guidance

The Company is providing 2016 earnings guidance of between $0.90 and $1.05 per fully diluted share. This GAAP earnings guidance incorporates an estimated $0.10 per fully diluted share benefit from an R&D tax credit in Q3 2016 as described above.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release:

To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. Operating income and operating income margin, gross profit and gross profit margin, and selling, general and administrative expenses are discussed in this release both as reported (on a GAAP basis) and, with respect to the second quarter of fiscal 2015, as adjusted (on a non-GAAP basis), as applicable, to exclude the impact of charges associated with the Company's previously disclosed 2015 plan to restructure its organization. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (EBITDAS) is presented in the attachments to this release. In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. In this release and any attachments, the Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business. While management believes that these financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" attached to this release and reconciliations, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
