Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:MNST) today reported financial
results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2007.
Third Quarter Results
Total revenue grew 18% to $337 million in the third quarter of
2007 from $286 million in the comparable quarter of 2006. Foreign
exchange rate benefits contributed approximately 3% to the year over
year revenue growth.
Monster Careers revenue increased 22% to $297 million, compared
with $244 million in last year's third quarter, led by International
revenue growth of 57% to $122 million. Included in International
revenue is a $7 million benefit from the effect of foreign exchange
rates. North American Careers revenue increased 5% to $175 million in
the third quarter of 2007, while Internet Advertising & Fees revenue
was $40 million compared with $42 million in last year's comparable
quarter.
Monster Worldwide's deferred revenue balance at September 30, 2007
grew 25% to $435 million over last year's third quarter balance of
$347 million.
Income from continuing operations was $33 million, or $0.25 per
diluted share, in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $40 million
or $0.31 per diluted share in the 2006 period. Included in income from
continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is
a $0.07 per diluted share impact from costs associated with the
ongoing stock option investigation and the Company's restructuring
plan. Pro forma adjustments also include $0.03 per diluted share of
costs associated with measures taken by the Company in response to the
security breach of the Company's resume database in August. These pro
forma adjustments are described in the "Notes Regarding the Use of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and are reconciled to the nearest GAAP
measure in the accompanying tables.
At September 30, 2007, the Company's net cash position was $627
million compared with $719 million at June 30, 2007. During the
quarter, the Company utilized the remaining $55 million under its
November 2005 buyback program and spent $100 million of the September
2007 authorization, repurchasing a total of 4.5 million shares on the
open market. Cash generated from operating activities was $73 million
compared to $79 million in the third quarter of 2006. Capital
expenditures totaled $11 million in the third quarter of 2007.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has
increased the Company's current stock repurchase authorization to $350
million from $250 million. Giving effect to the increased
authorization and repurchases to date, the Company currently has $250
million remaining under the program.
Sal Iannuzzi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monster
Worldwide, said, "We believe our third quarter results demonstrated
the strength of the Monster brand in a difficult domestic market
environment. Our ongoing strategy to expand our franchise on a global
basis contributed to the significant revenue growth and strong margin
expansion we experienced in our International segment. Our ability to
provide quality job candidates to our employer customers on a global
basis provides a competitive advantage in the marketplace and enhances
Monster's position as the global online recruitment leader."
Mr. Iannuzzi added, "Our team is in the process of ramping up
investments in product development and innovation, enhanced technology
and more aggressive marketing which we believe will improve the
customer experience and deliver solid revenue growth and operating
margin expansion over time. We are in the early stages of the recently
announced restructuring plan and are pleased to report we are on pace
with the cost elimination and efficiency initiatives we have outlined.
During the third quarter the consolidated non-GAAP operating margin
expanded to 21% from 19% in the second quarter. We believe our strong
balance sheet will support the Company's growth opportunities as we
work toward building long term sustainable value for our customers,
shareholders and dedicated associates across the globe."

Monster Worldwide reported total revenue of $997 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $818 million in the

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Monster Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company") has provided certain
non-GAAP financial information as additional information for its
operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an
alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies.
The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures
provides useful information to management and investors regarding
certain financial and business trends relating to its financial
condition and results of operations.
Non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income, operating margin,
income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share all
exclude certain pro forma adjustments including: ongoing costs
associated with the stock option investigations, related litigation
and potential fines or settlements; severance costs for former
executive officers incurred in the second quarter of 2007; costs
related to the measures taken by the Company in response to the
security breach; and the strategic restructuring actions initiated in
the third quarter of 2007. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures
for reviewing the ongoing results of the Company's core business
operations and in certain instances, for measuring performance under
certain of the Company's incentive compensation plans. These non-GAAP
measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported
by other companies.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization ("OIBDA") is
defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization of
intangible assets and amortization of stock based compensation. The
Company considers OIBDA to be an important indicator of its
operational strength. This measure eliminates the effects of
depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and amortization of
stock based compensation from period to period, which the Company
believes is useful to management and investors in evaluating its
operating performance. OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities
less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is considered a liquidity
measure and provides useful information about the Company's ability to
generate cash after investments in property and equipment. Free cash
flow reflected herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Free cash
flow does not reflect the total change in the Company's cash position
for the period and should not be considered a substitute for such a
measure.
Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus marketable
securities, less total debt. The Company considers net cash to be an
important measure of liquidity and an indicator of its ability to meet
its ongoing obligations. The Company also uses net cash, among other
measures, in evaluating its choices for capital deployment. Net cash
presented herein is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The operating expenses included in the Company's outlook ranges
are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission because, among
other things, they do not include legal costs and expenses that the
Company will incur as a result of its historical stock option granting
practices. Because the Company cannot reasonably estimate or predict
these costs and expenses, the Company cannot calculate the most
directly comparable GAAP measure of operating expenses that would
include such legal costs and expenses. Therefore, the Company cannot
reconcile the non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP
measure. While the amount of the legal costs and expenses associated
with the Company's historical stock option granting practices is
likely to be material, the Company believes that such costs and
expenses are of limited significance to an evaluation of the Company's
business fundamentals, since such costs and expenses bear little
relation to the Company's core business or operating prospects.
Additionally, non-GAAP operating expenses exclude severance costs for
former executive officers, costs associated with the measures taken by
the Company in response to the security breach and anticipated
restructuring charges. While the aggregate restructuring charge can be
estimated, the Company cannot determine the precise amount of the
charge to be taken each period. As a result, the Company is unable to
reconcile the projected non-GAAP operating expenses to a projection
calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Special Note: Except for historical information contained herein,
the statements made in this release, including the business outlook,
constitute 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. Such forward-looking statements involve certain
risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company's
strategic direction, prospects and future results. Certain factors,
including factors outside of our control, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking
statements, including economic and other conditions in the markets in
which we operate, risks associated with acquisitions or dispositions,
competition, ongoing costs associated with the stock option
investigations and lawsuits, costs associated with the restructuring
and security breach, and the other risks discussed in our Form 10-K
and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, which discussions are incorporated in this release by
reference.

Note Regarding ProForma Adjustments:
ProForma adjustments consist of the following:
a Costs associated with the ongoing investigation into the Company's
historical stock option granting practices ($2,571 and $17,729
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007),
severance charges associated with the termination of certain
executives in the second quarter of 2007 ($15,811) and costs
associated with the remediation of a security breach related to
the Company's resume database in August 2007 ($5,654).
b Restructuring related charges pertain to the strategic
restructuring actions that the Company announced on July 30,
2007. These charges include costs related to the reduction in the
Company's workforce, fixed asset write-offs, costs relating to
the consolidation of certain office facilities, contract
termination costs, relocation costs and professional fees.
c Income tax adjustment is calculated using the effective tax rate
of the period multiplied by the ProForma adjustment to income
from continuing operations before income taxes and equity
interest.
