Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: MNST), the parent company of the
leading global online careers property, Monster(R), the world's
largest Yellow Pages advertising agency, and one of the world's
largest Recruitment Advertising agency networks, today reported
financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004.
Third Quarter Results
Monster Worldwide's total revenue increased 33% to $227.1 million
in the third quarter of 2004 from $170.8 million in the comparable
quarter last year. The solid revenue growth was driven by strong
global performance at the Monster division, continued improvements in
the Company's Advertising & Communications business in North America,
peak seasonal revenues at the Directional Marketing division, and
contributions from recent acquisitions. The Monster division recorded
revenue of $157.7 million, a 52% increase over last year's third
quarter level of $103.8 million. Sequentially, the division's revenues
grew 11% over the $141.9 million reported in the second quarter of
this year. Organic revenue growth over the 2003 third quarter was 27%.
The Monster division's deferred revenue balance was a record $195.4
million, an increase over the former high of $178.9 million for this
year's second quarter. Consolidated net income for the third quarter
grew to $20.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $12.2
million, or $0.11 cents per diluted share in the third quarter of
2003.
Andrew McKelvey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monster
Worldwide, said "The strong momentum we established in the beginning
of the year continued in the third quarter. Monster's strong top line
performance was driven by our ability to optimize our integrated sales
strategy despite an uneven job recovery. We realized the benefits of
our investments in both our global sales force and innovative new
products for our customers. We believe we are well positioned to
continue to grow revenues and earnings in the fourth quarter."
Cash generated from operating activities was $42.1 million in the
third quarter of 2004, a $28.8 million increase over the $13.3 million
of cash from operating activities in the comparable 2003 quarter. The
Company's cash position was $117.2 million at September 30, 2004. Cash
and cash equivalents at June 2004 and December 2003 were $82.2 million
and $142.3 million, respectively. Net cash at September 30, 2004
increased to $60.2 million from the $25.4 million reported at June 30,
2004.
Nine Months Results
Monster Worldwide reported total revenue of $618.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $499.2 million in
the comparable prior year period. Income from continuing operations
was $48.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to a loss from
continuing operations of $6.5 million, or $0.06 per share in the prior
year period. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations was $32.1
million, or $0.28 per share for the nine months ended September 30,
2003.
Recent Developments/Operating Highlights
-- Monster Employment Index
Demand for workers and related online job recruitment activity
across the United States rose during the third quarter, according to
results of the Monster Employment Index. Overall, the Index rose to
151 in September, from 145 in August and 134 in July. The continued
upward trend for 2004 is an indication of the strong, sustained growth
of online job availability. Index results show an eight-month growth
trend in Finance & Insurance, which we believe is reflective of
increased corporate expansion. According to the Index, the healthcare
industry has had the largest number of job opportunities throughout
the year. IT-related positions have seen growth over the last three
months, jumping from 103 in June to 123 in September. Sales-related
positions have seen nine months of steady growth, rising from 83 in
December to 132 in September, which may be indicative of companies
seeking to expand. The Monster Employment Index -- a broad and
comprehensive monthly analysis of U.S. online job demand based on data
from more than 1,500 Web sites -- has become widely adopted by
government agencies and financial institutions worldwide and is often
referenced by major media outlets.
-- Monster Government Solutions Participates in Extreme Hiring
Makeover
Monster Government Solutions announced its participation in
Extreme Hiring Makeover, a program designed to streamline hiring at
three pilot Federal agencies, including the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (Department of Health and Human Services), the
National Nuclear Security Administration (Department of Energy) and
the entire Department of Education. Working in collaboration with the
Partnership for Public Service and six other private recruitment
experts, the goal of Extreme Hiring Makeover is to streamline hiring
at each of the pilot agencies and show other agencies that positive
change is possible, triggering a domino effect to improve hiring
processes throughout the federal government.
-- Monster U.S. Launches Next Phase of Brand Campaign
Monster in the United States announced the launch of the next
phase of "Portraits," a series of new commercials from its "Today's
the Day" brand campaign. The six :15 second spots feature candid
appeals from real-life job seekers in search of fulfilling work or
employers seeking qualified candidates. One television spot highlights
three-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Monster job seeker Lenny
Krayzelburg. Lenny captured three gold medals at the 2000 Olympic
Games and retired from competitive swimming after the 2004 Games. He
plans to start a career in the financial industry.
-- Republican National Convention Volunteer Drive
Monster Worldwide served as the primary recruiter for the more
than 8,000 volunteers needed at the 2004 Republican National
Convention held in New York City from August 30th through September
2nd. The Company helped the New York City Host Committee identify and
recruit volunteers by utilizing all of its resources and Web-hiring
technologies, including that of its QuickHire subsidiary, which serves
federal, state and local governments. In addition, Monster sponsored a
Web site (http://nyc2004.monster.com) that served as an online
community for the volunteers, keeping them informed and connected
throughout both the pre-Convention process and the sixteen-day
Convention deployment. This was the first ever paperless interactive,
end-to-end recruitment effort- from initial registration to final
deployment- for a U.S. political convention.
-- Monster India Launches Television and Print Advertising
Campaign
Monster India announced the launch of a new brand campaign, "Happy
Jobs." As part of its planned national marketing program, Monster
India will advertise on television and in print media; it will also
continue its online initiatives alongside other non-traditional
marketing activities. "Happy Jobs" launches the debut of a new
creative campaign. Monster India's campaign will include a continuous
TV advertising presence, which started in September and will run
through to December.
Outlook
Monster Worldwide anticipates reporting continued strong year over
year financial results in the fourth quarter of 2004. Sequentially,
the Monster division's revenues are expected to increase, while
expenses are expected to decline, leading to an expanded operating
margin at both the Monster division and Company level. As a result,
diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to
be $0.19, representing a significant increase over the $0.10 diluted
earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2003.

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 and may be
different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The
Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP measures such as
non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP earnings per share, adjusted
EBITDA, net cash and free cash flow provide useful information to
management and investors regarding certain financial and business
trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Company's management uses these measures for
reviewing the financial results of the Company and for budget planning
purposes.
Non-GAAP operating income, income from continuing operations and
related per share information exclude business reorganization,
spin-off and other special charges and any tax benefits thereon.
Non-GAAP operating income is a measure used by the Company in
reviewing business trends and the financial results of its reportable
segments. These measures are also the primary basis upon which the
Company prepares its budgets and forecasts.
Adjusted EBITDA is one of the measures that determines the
Company's ability to borrow under its $100 million credit facility. If
the Company failed to meet the required level of adjusted EBITDA as
defined in its credit agreement, the lender may terminate the
agreement, requiring the Company to repay any outstanding amount.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and should not be
considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, operating income,
cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of the Company's
profitability or liquidity. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA reflected
herein may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported
by other companies.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities
or operating activities of continuing operations, 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 after subtracting
total debt. Net cash is considered a measure of the Company's
liquidity and reflects the amount of cash and cash equivalents that
would remain with the Company after paying off its contractual debt
obligations. Net cash also provides information to investors regarding
the effect that each period's borrowings have on the Company's balance
of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash presented herein is a non-GAAP
measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies.
Special Note: Except for historical information contained herein,
the statements made in this release 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, competition, seasonality and the
other risks discussed in our Form 10-K and our other filings made with
