IncrediMail Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAIL), a digital media company that builds downloadable consumer products, today announced that:

  • Revenues in 2010 were a record $29.5 million, increasing $2.3 million, or 8.5%, over 2009
  • Adjusted EBITDA in 2010 was $13.4 million, compared to $12.9 million in 2009, and was 46% of revenues,
  • Net income in 2010 was $8.4 million, or $0.85 per diluted share
  • Cash flow from operations in 2010 was $9.8 million

Commenting on the results, Josef Mandelbaum, IncrediMail's CEO, said, ?2010 was another stellar year in terms of financial performance, and our accomplishments in the second half of 2010, including the signing of a new agreement with Google, helped us solidify the foundation for accelerated growth in 2011 and beyond. Other major accomplishments included the completion of an extensive consumer research study, the results of which were received during the fourth quarter; and the investment in and improvement of our existing processes and backend systems. The benefit of all these efforts should be seen in the second half of 2011.?

Mandelbaum continued, ?We also successfully outsourced QA and eliminated some redundant positions to reinvest in higher yield opportunities. While this caused higher handover costs in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, this move has already enabled us to refocus on higher yield activities. Lastly, we have been working on enhancing our existing IncrediMail product, and have just started to invest in building a new product pipeline.?

For the year-ended December 31, 2010, R&D expenses increased 5% to $6.6 million, from $6.3 million in 2009. In terms of a percentage of sales, R&D expenses are expected to remain relatively stable in 2011.

Sales and Marketing expenses were $5.2 million for the year, compared to $4.6 million in 2009. Marketing expenses included approximately $1.8 million in customer acquisition costs in 2010, which is relatively unchanged from customer acquisition costs reported in 2009. In 2011, as the new growth strategy is implemented, we intend to increase this investment more than three-fold with a majority of the increase occurring in the latter part of 2011. This additional expenditure is expected to have a positive return on investment and help accelerate growth not only in 2011 but even more so in 2012.

General and Administrative expenses increased to $4.7 million in 2010, from $3.3 million in 2009. The increase in costs included one-time compensation costs in the second half of 2010, as well as our engaging the professional and experienced management team to properly scale the business and take the Company to the next level. Having made that investment, we expect only a nominal increase in G&A in 2011.

?As we previously announced, our official guidance for 2011 calls for double-digit year-over-year sales growth of 13-15%, with revenues reaching approximately $33 million to $34 million. Fueling this accelerated growth is our new strategy and a more aggressive customer acquisition activity layered over the viral nature of our products. The back-end analytical systems built in the second half of 2010 will be used to measure our user's value and ensure ROI positive investments. This marketing effort is being tested and will be gradually implemented over the course of the year. The rollout of our strategic activity is such that we expect growth and the associated investments will be more notable in the second half of 2011. We expect net income for 2011 to be in the $7 million to $8 million range, representing a very healthy 21% - 24% of revenues,? Mandelbaum concluded.

Lastly, as a final chapter to 2010, the Board of Directors agreed to issue the final dividend for 2010 of $0.40 per share, to shareholders of record at the close of the NASDAQ Global Market on March 24, 2011 with a payout date to shareholders of record on April 7, 2011. The dividend will be paid to the Company's shareholders net of taxes withheld at the source, pursuant to the applicable provisions of Israeli law. As previously announced, the Company has changed its dividend policy for 2011 and beyond, and will no longer be issuing dividends.
