"Personal finance website Moneysupermarket.com saw its revenue fall 23% in 2009 to 136.9m from 178.8m, which it said was due to the impact of the credit crunch.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year to December 31 was down 26% at 36.0m from 48.4m.

Gross margin increased to 68.9% from 65.3%. The group cut its administrative and distribution cost base by 13% to 62.2m.

It declared a further special dividend of 25m, or 4.91p per share, which it said underlined the board's confidence in the ability of the business to continue to generate cash.

Comparison website Moneysupermarket.com said its first-quarter internet revenues were up 6% on the same period last year and 9% ahead excluding Travelsupermarket.

This was despite a slow January across the business with trading below 2009 levels.

Visitor numbers for the group were 4% lower (4% higher excluding Travelsupermarket) than the first quarter of 2009, the group said in its interim management statement.

'Customers are now enjoying a much better service and we are achieving even greater break-through in a crowded media space. We will continue with this balanced investment approach in the first half, to maintain growth through the rest of the year.'

Moneysupermarket.com said its financial performance in the third quarter and year to date were in line with management expectations.

In its IMS for the period from July 1, the group said Internet revenues were 11% ahead of the same period last year as it continued to benefit from site launches in Money and Insurance earlier in the year.

EBITDA was 16% ahead for the same period.

Increased visitor numbers in Insurance and Home Services offset reductions in Money and Travel.

In Money, revenues were 19% ahead of Q3 2009 on visitor volumes 10% lower. Credit card revenues were particularly strong, driven by improving product availability from providers and the launch of a new credit card site earlier in the year.

Weaker visitor numbers partly reflected action to step away from a number of unprofitable portal partner relationships together with continued low levels of consumer confidence, particularly impacting the group's credit-related channels.

Insurance revenues were 13% ahead of Q3 2009 and visitor volumes 8% ahead. The group saw growth across all of its major lines including motor, home, travel and life insurance.

Travel revenues were 6% down on visitor volumes that fell by a similar proportion. Work had begun on an improved travel website to launch in Q1 2011.

Home Services revenues were 9% down on Q3 2009 and visitor volumes increased by 24%.

The group said trading in the first few weeks of the fourth quarter had been strong, with revenues remaining more than 10% ahead of the same period last year. The outcome for the year remained in line with management expectations.

Adjusted EBITDA was expected to be around 41m, after excluding 0.7m of costs relating to the acquisition of Financial Services Net Limited.

The group said trading improved throughout the second half across its businesses, with UK internet revenues 13% ahead of the prior second half and EBITDA up 32%.

At December 31 it had cash balances of 36.5m and was debt free.

Nice push upwards recently.

StockMarketWire.com
Comparative website operator Moneysupermarket.com Group plc said in an IMS that it has been trading well ahead of a relatively weak period at the start of last year, in line with expectations.

Internet revenues for the first quarter were 22% ahead, excluding contributions from Financial Services Net, with visitor numbers up 13%.

EBITDA was well ahead of the same period last year and around 25% up on the H1 2010 run rate.

CEO Peter Plumb said in a statement ahead of the group's AGM, 'Moneysupermarket.com has made a strong start to 2011, building on the momentum from a great performance last year when we saved our customers 750m.

'We continue to lead our highly competitive market with our unparalleled breadth of product, our unique brand and our strong relationships with providers.'

The group remained confident that its programme of continued investment in technology and brand would ensure further good progress this year.

Revenues in the Money vertical were 28% ahead of last year. Visitor volumes were fractionally ahead, reversing the declines seen in 2010.

Insurance revenues were 24% ahead, growing fastest in home insurance and with strong growth in both motor and travel insurance. Visitor volumes were 20% higher.

Home Services revenues were 23% ahead, primarily due to an increase in utilities revenues.

The board remained confident of the group's prospects for the full year.

HARRYCAT - 08 Jul 2011 08:18 - 24 of 106

Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC the price comparison site, reveals that trading in the second quarter has been strong and consistent with the trends seen in the first quarter.

The Board expects adjusted half year revenues to be in the region of 88.3m and adjusted EBITDA to be approximately 22.8m, which are approximately 23% and 26% ahead of the same period last year respectively.(1)

Consistent with its strategy of driving higher-margin, direct-to-site revenues, the Group has continued to increase its investment in offline marketing, including the sponsorship of Britain's Got Talent in the second quarter to consolidate its position as a mainstream brand.

Consequently, and as expected, offline marketing expenditure in the first half of the year was approximately 50% ahead of the same period last year. The Group will continue to invest in its brand in the second half and launched a new campaign in the first week of July.

Offline marketing expenditure is therefore expected to continue to be ahead of the comparator period in the second half of the year. However, consistent with previous years, the absolute quantum of spend is likely to be lower than first half of the year reflecting lower expenditure levels in the fourth quarter.

The Group will recognise a one off credit of approximately 3.3m in the first half of the year, following reaching agreement in principle with HMRC relating to the VAT treatment of certain of the Group's supplies. The Group anticipates that there will be an ongoing benefit of approximately 0.5m per annum.

The Group's financial position remains strong. As at 30 June 2011 the Group had cash balances of 32.1m after the payment of a dividend of 12.9m in May 2011 and was debt free.

MoneySupermarket.com Group PLC the price comparison website, has announced its interim results for the 6 months to 30 June 2011 showing total adjusted revenue of 88.7m (2010: 71.6m)

UK internet revenues were 24% ahead of the same period last year and adjusted EBITDA was up 27% at 23.0m (2010: 18.1m); adjusted gross margin stable at 71.4% (2010: 71.4%).

The company reported cash balances of 32.2m (2010: 28.3m) at the period end. The Group remains highly cash generative, converting 82% of adjusted EBITDA to cash

The Interim dividend increased by 15% to 1.5p per share with a special dividend of 20m, or 3.93p per share announced.

According to the company the growth this year has been driven by continued structural growth in online markets and targeted investment in technology and brand building improving conversion.

Moneysupermarket's financial performance in the third quarter show internet revenues and EBITDA for the third quarter 14% and 25% ahead, respectively, of the same period last year.

Visitors to the Moneysupermarket.com website were 3% ahead of the same period last year with visitors increasing across the Money, Insurance and Home Services verticals while Travel reduced marginally.

Revenues in the Money vertical were 8% ahead of Q3 2010 on visitor volumes that were 12% higher. Within this, trading was strongest earlier in the quarter, with September's year-on-year performance impacted by a strong September 2010.

Revenues from credit products (credit cards, loans, mortgages and debt solutions) were 8% ahead of the same period last year. Weakness in credit card revenues from lower visitor volumes were more than offset by strong growth in loans, particularly unsecured loans, where improved conversion and product availability significantly helped raise revenue per visitor.

Revenues from non-credit products, which include savings, current accounts and advertising revenues, improved by 8% driven by growth in savings and current accounts.

Insurance revenues were 15% ahead, and visitor volumes 3% ahead, of the same period last year.

Revenues in travel were 11% down on Q3 2010 on visitor volumes that fell by 4%. Trading continues to be challenging across the travel business with consumers managing their discretionary spending tightly.

Home Services revenues were 107% ahead of Q3 2010 and visitor volumes increased by 4%. Utility switching volumes, which account for the greatest part of Home Services revenues, were stronger than the same period last year reflecting continued cost increases in the domestic energy market.

Cash conversion continues to be strong. At 31 October 2011 the Group had net cash of 18.7m, reflecting the payment since the half year of the interim dividend of 7.7m together with the special dividend of 20m; corporation tax payments on account of 6.9m; and 1.0m relating to the acquisition of 51% of Local Daily Deals Limited.

Moneysupermarket.com expects full year revenues to be up circa 20% year on year at around £178 million (2010: £148.9m) and adjusted EBITDA to be around £49.5 million, an increase of approximately 21% (2010: £41m).

The Group continued to trade well in the fourth quarter, with revenues up 19% year on year, supported by higher levels of marketing spend.

The Group financial position remains strong. As at 31 December 2011 the Group had cash balances of £34.9 million and was debt free.
