Q1 2014 Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary


    --  Installed restaurant base as of March 31, 2014, totaled 31,583.
    --  Seated diners totaled 46.7 million, a 25% increase over Q1 2013.
    --  Total revenues were $53.8 million in Q1 2014, up 18% over Q1 2013
        revenues of $45.5 million.
        --  Reservation revenues were $34.3 million in Q1 2014, up 27% over Q1
            2013 revenues of $27.1 million.  Reservation revenues primarily
            increased as a result of the increase in seated diners.
        --  Subscription revenues were $16.6 million in Q1 2014, up 13% over Q1
            2013 revenues of $14.7 million.  Subscription revenues primarily
            increased as a result of the increase in installed restaurants using
            our ERB solution.
        --  Other revenues were $2.9 million in Q1 2014, down 22% over Q1 2013
            revenues of $3.8 million.  The decrease is primarily due to the
            change in the pricing of our promotional products from a flat rate
            to a pay-for-performance model, which is now classified as
            reservation revenues.
    --  Total costs and expenses were $56.4 million in Q1 2014. Excluding the
        $12.6 million impairment expense, costs and expenses were $43.8 million,
        up 23% over Q1 2013 costs and expenses of $35.6 million.  The increase
        was primarily driven by an increase in online marketing expenses and a
        19% increase in headcount.
    --  Total operating loss was $2.6 million in Q1 2014 compared to income of
        $9.9 million in Q1 2013.  Non-GAAP consolidated operating income,
        excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related
        expenses, amortization of acquired intangibles and impairment of
        acquired intangibles, was $16.3 million in Q1 2014 compared to $15.5
        million in Q1 2013.
    --  The Q1 2014 GAAP income tax expense was $1.0 million, or a (40)% tax
        rate. On a non-GAAP basis, income tax expense was $5.3 million, or an
        effective tax rate of 33%.
    --  Consolidated net loss was $3.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in
        Q1 2014 compared to net income of $7.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted
        share, in Q1 2013.  Non-GAAP consolidated net income, which excludes
        tax-affected stock-based compensation expense, tax-affected
        acquisition-related expenses, tax-affected amortization of acquired
        intangibles and tax-affected impairment of acquired intangibles, was
        $11.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in Q1 2014 compared to $10.7
        million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in Q1 2013.

Quarterly Conference Call

A conference call will be webcast live today at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET and will be available through May 31, 2014, at http://investors.opentable.com/events.cfm. This call may contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding the Company's financial and operating results.

About Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Tables are provided in the press release that reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables below include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this press release and adjustments that the Company can reasonably predict. Events that could cause the reconciliation to change include, but are not limited to, acquisitions and divestitures of businesses, goodwill and other asset impairments, and sales of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments.

The non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include non-GAAP consolidated net income and the related per diluted share amounts, non-GAAP consolidated operating income and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP financial measure adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses and impairment of acquired intangibles.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company's core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and its prospects for the future. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangibles and impairment of acquired intangibles because they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company's business operations. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results and trends and performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

Background Information

The Company reports consolidated operations in U.S. dollars and operates in two geographic segments: North America and International. The North America segment is comprised of all operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and the International segment is comprised of all non-North America operations, which includes operations in Europe and Asia. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from its restaurant customers. The Company's revenues primarily include monthly subscription fees, a fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations, and other revenue.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and its attachments contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include guidance for Q2 2014 and the full year 2014 and the quotations from management in this press release. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that may contribute to such differences include, among others, the Company's ability to accurately forecast revenues and expenses; worldwide economic conditions; the Company's ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth; the Company's ability to effectively manage its growth; the Company's ability to attract new restaurant customers; the Company's ability to increase the number of visitors to its websites and mobile applications and convert those visitors into diners; the Company's ability to retain existing restaurant customers and diners or encourage repeat reservations; the effects of increased competition; the Company's ability to successfully enter new markets and manage its international expansion; the impact of the fluctuations in currency exchange rates; the Company's ability to successfully manage any acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies; interruptions in service and any related impact on the Company's reputation; costs associated with defending intellectual property infringement and other claims; and the impact of natural catastrophic events. More information about potential factors that could affect the Company's business and financial results is contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the Company's other filings with the SEC.
