LinkedIn Earnings Released, Revenue Up 47%

  • LinkedIn just released its earnings report for the second quarter with revenue of $534 million, up 47% year-over-year. Net loss (attributable to common stockholders) was $1 million, compared to net income of $3.7 million for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP net income was $63 million compared to $44 million for the same quarter last year.

    GAAP diluted EPS for Q2 was $(0.01), compared to GAAP diluted EPS of $0.03 last year. non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.51, compared to $0.38 last year.

    CEO Jeff Weiner said, “LinkedIn delivered strong financial results in the second quarter while maintaining investment in our member and customer offerings. We made significant progress against several key strategic priorities including increasing the scale of job opportunities on LinkedIn; expanding our professional publishing platform; and continuing the strategic shift towards content marketing through Sponsored Updates.”

    60% of LinkedIn’s total revenue was from the U.S. ($318 million). Revenue for the full year is expected to be between $2.14 billion and $2.15 billion.

    The company is still touting the same “over 300 million members” stat it shared last quarter.

    In addition to releasing its earnings, LinkedIn announced the launch of a new Sales Navigator, which it says enables “buyers to build relationships with the most relevant sales professionals through an enterprise focused SaaS product.”

    In the prepared comments on the earnings call, Weiner said, LinkedIn delivered strong financial results in the second quarter while maintaining continued investment in our member and customer offerings. We made significant progress against several key strategic priorities including increasing the scale of job opportunities on LinkedIn; expanding our professional publishing platform; adding to our growing portfolio of mobile apps; and successfully positioning our Marketing Solutions business for the future through the growth of Sponsored Updates.”

    He went on to say the launch of Sales Navigator and the recent acquisition of Bizo “underscore the opportunities we have to continue building a scalable, diverse business that adds value for our members and customers based on the critical mass of the LinkedIn network.”

    “We continue to see healthy member engagement dynamics across LinkedIn, especially in light of the challenging year over year comparison that we discussed last quarter,” he said. “During Q2, cumulative members grew 32 percent to 313 million, internally-measured unique visiting members to LinkedIn grew 13 percent to an average of 84 million per month, and internal member pageviews grew 22 percent to 25 billion for the quarter, well ahead of unique member growth.”

    Organic engagement is one area of particular strength, driven by our mobile and content efforts,” he said. “Homepage traffic, as measured by unique visiting members, continues to outpace overall site traffic growth, increasing approximately 40 percent faster over the past year. Mobile also continues to drive a growing share of engagement, growing more than three times as fast as overall uniques. Mobile now accounts for 45 percent of total traffic to LinkedIn.”

    67% of members come from outside the U.S.

    They surpassed 30,000 weekly long-form posts on their publishing platform, and traffic to publisher and influencer posts is up over 100% since launch in February.

    Since it launched its new search architecture, pageviews to content driven by search have accelerated.

    Here’s what Weiner said about Sales Navigator on the call:

    “Within Subscriptions, today we are pleased to announce the launch of the all-new Sales Navigator. This new SaaS product delivers a customized view into LinkedIn to better connect sales professionals with the right buyers by leveraging key insights and connections across the LinkedIn network. Our research shows that social selling transforms the sales process — buyers are over five times more likely to engage with sales professionals when introduced through a common connection versus a cold call. Just as the launch of our flagship Recruiter product transformed the way talent professionals recruit, we expect Sales Navigator will similarly transform the effectiveness of sales professionals.”

    Here’ the release in its entirety:

    About LinkedIn

    Founded in 2003, LinkedIn connects the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. With over 300 million members worldwide, including executives from every Fortune 500 company, LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network on the Internet. The company has a diversified business model with revenue coming from Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions and Premium Subscriptions products. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, LinkedIn has offices across the globe.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted EPS (collectively the “non-GAAP financial measures”). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

    The company excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures:

    Stock-based compensation. The company excludes stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature and because the company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance and liquidity. The company further believes this measure is useful to investors in that it allows for greater transparency to certain line items in its financial statements and facilitates comparisons to peer operating results.

    Amortization of acquired intangible assets. The company excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets because it is non-cash in nature and because the company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance and liquidity. In addition, excluding this item from the non-GAAP measures facilitates internal comparisons to historical operating results and comparisons to peer operating results.

    Accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interest. The accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the accretion of the company’s redeemable noncontrolling interest to its redemption value. The company excludes the accretion because it is non-cash in nature and because the company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operating performance. In addition, excluding this item from the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates internal comparisons to historical operating results and comparisons to peer operating results.

    Income tax effects and adjustments. The company adjusts non-GAAP net income by considering the income tax effects of excluding stock-based compensation and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the company has implemented a long-term non-GAAP tax rate for evaluating its operating performance as well as for planning and forecasting purposes. This projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate eliminates the effects of non-recurring and period specific items, which can vary in size and frequency and does not necessarily reflect our long-term operations. Historically, the company computed a non-GAAP tax rate based on non-GAAP pre-tax income on a quarterly basis. Based on our current forecast, a long-term non-GAAP tax rate of 35% has been applied to our non-GAAP financial results for the current period. The company believes that adjusting for these income tax effects and adjustments provides additional transparency to the overall or “after tax” effects of excluding these items from non-GAAP net income.

    Dilutive shares under the treasury stock method. During periods with a net loss, the company excluded certain potential common shares from its GAAP diluted shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. On a non-GAAP basis, these shares would have been dilutive. As a result, the company has included the impact of these shares in the calculation of its non-GAAP diluted net income per share under the treasury stock method.

    For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table in this press release. This accompanying table has more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. Additionally, the company has not reconciled adjusted EBITDA or non-GAAP EPS guidance to net income (loss) or GAAP EPS guidance because it does not provide guidance for either other income (expense), net, or GAAP provision for income taxes, which are reconciling items between net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS. As items that impact net income (loss) are out of the company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, the company is unable to provide such guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation to net income (loss) is not available without unreasonable effort.
