TeleNav, Inc. (Nasdaq:TNAV), a leading provider of location-based services, or LBS, including voice guided navigation and local search on mobile phones, autos and enterprise LBS, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 ended September 30, 2010.

Financial Highlights


  --  Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 grew 42 percent over the
      prior year to $51.1 million.
  --  Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 grew 52 percent over the
      prior year to $12.4 million.
  --  Cash generated from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was
      $20.2 million.
  --  Average monthly revenue per end user (ARPU) for the first quarter of
      fiscal 2011 decreased 14 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2010
      to $0.94.
  --  Average monthly paying end users for the first quarter of fiscal 2011
      increased 65 percent year over year to 17.7 million.


 

"We continued to achieve record number of average monthly paying end users, which grew over 1.6 million quarterly to 17.7 million in the September quarter," said HP Jin, president, CEO and co-founder of TeleNav. "We are also leveraging our core business to grow revenue from premium navigation, automotive, enterprise LBS, and mobile advertising and commerce opportunities, which comprised more than five percent of our total revenue in the September quarter."

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $51.1 million, compared to revenue of $49.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and $36.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 reflects the one month impact from the amended Sprint agreement.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $12.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and $8.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $13.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $13.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and $8.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Non-GAAP net income excludes stock-based compensation expense net of the related tax effect. The shares used in the calculation of TeleNav's non-GAAP net income per share assume the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock into shares of common stock using the as-if converted method as of the beginning of each period presented or the date of issuance, if later.

"Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances increased during the quarter by $18.2 million, ending the quarter with a total of $131.1 million," said Douglas Miller, chief financial officer of TeleNav. "In addition, our accounts receivable rose to $57.3 million as of September 30, 2010, of which we collected $46.5 million to date in the month of October, further increasing our cash balances."

Recent Business Highlights


  --  In September 2010, TeleNav amended and extended its Master Application
      and Services Agreement with Sprint, its largest customer, and also
      amended its License Agreement with Tele Atlas, a supplier of map and
      points of interest content used in TeleNav's services.
  --  In September 2010, TeleNav launched an updated navigation-based mobile
      advertising platform, that allows advertisers to reach millions of
      on-the-go users by delivering a relevant and targeted ad to users based
      on the location and context of their search query, and by providing
      advertisers with action-based metrics such as "Drive-to Rate," a metric
      that captures the number of users who viewed an ad and chose to drive to
      the advertiser's business location.
  --   In August 2010, TeleNav announced the availability of its in-dash,
      connected navigation product with the recent rollout of the 2011 Ford
      Edge, and the 2011 Lincoln MKX, called MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch,
      respectively.
  --  In August 2010, TeleNav announced the availability of its OnMyWay mobile
      application for the iPhone and Android devices. Initially launched in
      March 2010 for BlackBerry devices, OnMyWay automatically alerts a
      pre-determined person or group of people of a driver's trip status and
      estimated time of arrival (ETA).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

TeleNav prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the United States (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures such as net income and earnings per share information for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and the first and fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 included in this press release are different from those otherwise presented under GAAP. The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity incentive awards granted to our employees, directors, and consultants accounted for under GAAP. Stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense for TeleNav. While we include the dilutive impact of such equity awards in weighted average shares outstanding, the expense associated with stock-based awards reflects a non-cash charge that we exclude from non-GAAP net income.

Our non-GAAP tax rate differs from the GAAP tax rate due to the elimination of the tax rate effect of the GAAP stock compensation expenses that are being eliminated to arrive at the non-GAAP expenses.

The shares used to compute non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share include the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock using the as-if converted method as of the beginning of each period presented or the date of issuance, if later. In May 2010, in conjunction with the closing of our initial public offering, all of our outstanding preferred stock was converted into shares of our common stock.

TeleNav has provided these measures in addition to GAAP financial results because management believes these non-GAAP measures help provide a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and fiscal year growth rates that are not influenced by certain non-cash charges and therefore are helpful in understanding TeleNav's underlying operating results. These non-GAAP measures are some of the primary measures TeleNav's management uses for planning and forecasting. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to information provided by other companies. Reconciliations of the GAAP to non-GAAP results are presented at the end of this press release.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on TeleNav's management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning TeleNav's anticipated or assumed future financial results, shares outstanding and anticipated business activities. Actual events or results may differ materially from those described in this document due to a number of risks and uncertainties. These potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, fluctuations in TeleNav's quarterly and annual operating results; TeleNav's dependence on Sprint and AT&T for a substantial majority of its revenue; changes in the contractual relationships with Sprint, AT&T and other wireless carriers to whom TeleNav provides services, competition from other market participants who may provide comparable services to subscribers without charge; TeleNav's inexperience in the automotive navigation market; TeleNav's inexperience in the mobile advertising market; TeleNav's ability to estimate and sustain or increase its revenue and profitability; TeleNav's ability to attract, migrate and retain new wireless carriers and auto manufacturers; TeleNav's ability to issue new releases of its products and services and expand its product portfolio; changes to current accounting policies which may have a significant, adverse impact upon TeleNav's financial results; the introduction of new products by competitors or the entry of new competitors into the markets for TeleNav's services and products; the impact of current or future intellectual property litigation and claims for indemnification and litigation related to U.S securities laws and economic and political conditions in the US and abroad. We discuss these risks in greater detail in "Risk factors" and elsewhere in our Form S-1 and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
