Web.com Reports Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results

-- Closing on Register.com Acquisition Creates one of the largest online marketing and web services companies serving small business
-- Over $10 million in annualized cost synergy potential as Register.com is integrated
-- Register.com acquisition expected to drive immediate and growing accretion to non-GAAP net income per diluted share

Web.com Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:WWWW), a leading provider of online marketing for small businesses, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

"Web.com delivered second quarter revenue and profitability that were consistent with our expectations," said David Brown, Chairman and CEO of Web.com. "While the macro environment facing small businesses remains challenging, we are excited about Web.com's future as the acquisition of Register.com is a transformational event for our company.

We have expanded our customer base to over 1 million subscribers, broadened our value proposition with highly synergistic offerings and increased our non-GAAP revenue run rate by approximately 80%."

Brown added, "We believe the addition of Register.com will not only have a significant positive impact on our already strong adjusted EBITDA, it will also provide far greater resources to invest in sales and marketing programs that we are optimistic will restore top line growth off of a much larger revenue base. We believe our combined resources and value proposition enhances Web.com's leadership position and ability to capitalize on the large market opportunity related to online marketing solutions for small and medium-sized businesses."

Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:


  --  On July 30, 2010, Web.com closed the previously-announced acquisition of
      Register.com, a leading provider of global domain name registration and
      complementary website design and management services, for $135 million.
      The combination will create one of the largest online marketing and web
      services companies serving small businesses, and is expected to have
      approximately $180 million in annualized non-GAAP revenue and over 1
      million total customers.

  --  Web.com's total net subscribers were approximately 278,000 at the end of
      the second quarter of 2010, consistent with the end of the prior
      quarter.

  --  Customer churn was 2.9% for the second quarter of 2010, representing an
      all-time low and compared to 3.1% for the first quarter of 2010.

      compared to $0.19 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the measures in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the SEC Regulation G. Web.com believes presenting non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP net income per share attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP operating income is useful to investors, because it describes the operating performance of the company, excluding some recurring charges that are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Company management uses these non-GAAP measures as important indicators of the company's past performance and in planning and forecasting performance in future periods. The non-GAAP financial information Web.com presents may not be comparable to similarly-titled financial measures used by other companies, and investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or in substitution for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. You are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures included elsewhere in this press release.

Relative to each of the non-GAAP measures the company presents above, management further sets forth its rationale as follows:


  --  Non-GAAP Operating Income. The Company excludes from non-GAAP operating
      income amortization of intangibles, fair value adjustment to deferred
      revenue, restructuring charges, corporate development expenses and
      stock-based compensation charges. Management believes that excluding
      these items assists investors in evaluating period-over-period changes
      in the Company's operating income without the impact of items that are
      not a result of the Company's day-to-day business and operations.

  --  Non-GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income
      From Continuing Operations Per Diluted Share. The Company excludes from
      non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share
      amortization of intangibles, income tax expense, fair value adjustment
      to deferred revenue, restructuring charges, corporate development
      expenses and stock-based compensation, and includes cash income tax
      expense, because management believes that excluding such measures helps
      investors better understand the Company's operating activities.

  --  Adjusted EBITDA. The Company excludes from Adjusted EBITDA depreciation
      expense, amortization of intangibles, income tax, interest expense,
      interest income, stock-based compensation, corporate development
      expenses, and restructuring charges, because management believes that
      excluding such items helps investors better understand the Company's
      operating activities.

  --  In respect of the foregoing, Web.com provides the following supplemental
      information to provide additional context for the use and consideration
      of the non-GAAP financial measures used elsewhere in this press
      release:Stock-based compensation.   These expenses consist of expenses
      for employee stock options and employee stock purchases under ASC
      718-10. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expenses from our
      non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses. Prior to
      the adoption of ASC 718-10 in fiscal 2006, the Company did not include
      expenses related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases
      directly in its financial statements, but elected, as permitted, to
      disclose such expenses in the footnotes to its financial statements. As
      the Company applies ASC 718-10, it believes that it is useful to its
      investors to understand the impact of the application of ASC 718-10 to
      its operational performance, liquidity and its ability to invest in
      research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures.
      While stock-based compensation expense calculated in accordance with ASC
      718-10 constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is
      excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense that
      typically requires or will require cash settlement by the Company and
      because such expense is not used by management to assess the core
      profitability of the Company's business operations. The Company further
      believes these measures are useful to investors in that they allow for
      greater transparency to certain line items in our financial statements.
      In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures
      facilitates comparisons to the Company's competitors' operating results.


  --  Amortization of intangibles. The Company incurs amortization of acquired
      intangibles under ASC 805-10-65. Acquired intangibles primarily consist
      of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trade names, and
      developed technology. The Company expects to amortize for accounting
      purposes the fair value of the acquired intangibles based on the pattern
      in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed
      as revenue is generated. Although the intangible assets generate revenue
      for the Company, the item is excluded because this expense is non-cash
      in nature and because the Company believes the non-GAAP financial
      measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information
      regarding the Company's operational performance. In addition, excluding
      this item from various non-GAAP measures facilitates management's
      internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and
      comparisons to the Company's competitors' operating results.

  --  Depreciation expense. The Company incurs depreciation expense associated
      with its fixed assets. Although the fixed assets generate revenue for
      the Company, the item is excluded because this expense is non-cash in
      nature and because the Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures
      excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information
      regarding the Company's operational performance, liquidity and its
      ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and
      capital expenditures. In addition, excluding this item from certain
      non-GAAP measures facilitates management's internal comparisons to the
      Company's historical operating results and comparisons to the Company's
      competitors' operating results.

  --  Interest expense. The Company incurs interest expense related to the
      indebtedness of the Company. This item is excluded because the Company
      believes the non-GAAP measures excluding this item provide meaningful
      supplemental information regarding the Company's operational
      performance. In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP
      measures facilitates management's internal comparisons to the Company's
      historical operating results and comparisons to the Company's
      competitors' operating results.

  --  Interest income. The Company earns interest income related to its cash
      and cash equivalents. This item is excluded because the Company believes
      the non-GAAP measures excluding this item provide meaningful
      supplemental information regarding the Company's operational
      performance. In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP
      measures facilitates management's internal comparisons to the Company's
      historical operating results and comparisons to the Company's
      competitors' operating results.

  --  Restructuring charges. The Company has recorded restructuring charges.
      The Company excludes the impact of these expenses from its non-GAAP
      measures, because such expense is not used by management to assess the
      core profitability of the Company's business operations.

  --  Income tax expense.  Due to the magnitude of the Company's historical
      net operating losses and related deferred tax asset, the Company
      excludes income tax expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because
      they are not indicative of the cash tax paid by the Company and
      therefore are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Further,
      excluding this non-cash item from non-GAAP measures facilitates
      management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating
      results. The Company also excludes income tax expense altogether from
      certain non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that
      the non-GAAP measures excluding this item provide meaningful
      supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance
      and facilitates management's internal comparisons to the Company's
      historical operating results and comparisons to the Company's
      competitors' operating results.

  --  Fair value adjustment to deferred revenue. The Company has recorded a
      fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue in accordance with
      ASC 805-10-65. The Company excludes the impact of this adjustment from
      its non-GAAP measures, because doing so results in non-GAAP revenue and
      non-GAAP net income which are reflective of ongoing operating results
      and more comparable to historical operating results, since the majority
      of the Company's revenue is recurring subscription revenue. Excluding
      the fair value adjustment to deferred revenue therefore facilitates
      management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating
      results.

  --  Corporate development expenses. The Company incurred professional fees
      to assist us in performing due diligence procedures for the expected
      acquisition of Register.com in July 2010. The Company excludes the
      impact of these expenses from its non-GAAP measures, because such
      expense is not used by management to assess the core profitability of
      the Company's business operations.
