Catalina Marketing Corporation (NYSE:POS) today reported financial
results for its quarter ended September 30, 2006.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, consolidated revenues
were $112.6 million, a 9.6% increase over revenues of $102.8 million in
the same period of the prior year. Consolidated net income, which
reflected increased spending associated with the color printer and
channel expansion initiatives in the current year quarter, was $15.2
million, or $0.33 per diluted shared, compared with net income of $19.7
million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior
year. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included
stock-based compensation expense of $2.9 million, net of related income
taxes, as the result of the company’s adoption
of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, effective April 1, 2006.
Excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense under the fair
value method, net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 would
have been $18.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share.
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2006, consolidated revenues
were $217.7 million, an increase of 11.9% over revenues of $194.6
million in the comparable six month period of the prior year.
Consolidated net income, which reflected increased spending associated
with the color printer and channel expansion initiatives in the current
year period, was $29.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared
with net income of $33.4 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the
prior year period. Results for the six months ended September 30, 2006
included stock-based compensation expense of $5.3 million, net of
related income taxes. Excluding the impact of stock based compensation,
net income for the six months ended September 30, 2006 would have been
$34.5 million, or $0.74 per diluted share.
“On a consolidated basis we had solid revenue
growth of nearly 10% for the quarter,”
executive vice president and chief financial officer, Rick Frier,
commented. ”Catalina Marketing International
and Catalina Marketing Services led the way with 24.0% and 8.5% growth,
respectively. Catalina Health Resource had a strong quarter, its second
highest revenue producing quarter ever, even without the opportunistic
spending by certain of our manufacturer clients that we benefited from
in the comparable prior year quarter.”
Frier continued, “We are excited about the
progress we have made on the color printer initiative and the feedback
that we have received from manufacturers, retailers, and consumers. We
have completed the installation of color printers in approximately half
of the planned grocery store installations across our domestic network.
We began to see the impact of this investment in consolidated results
during the current quarter, as year-to-date operating margins, excluding
the impact of stock-based compensation expense, declined approximately
200 basis points compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Consistent with information we previously provided, on a full fiscal
year basis we expect operating margins to decrease by three to four
percentage points on a consolidated basis and five to seven percentage
points on the CMS segment as compared with the twelve months ended March
31, 2006. The investment that we are making on both the balance sheet
and income statement is significant, but will provide the foundation for
long-term revenue and profit growth.”

better understanding the company's operations for the current fiscal
year compared to the prior comparable quarters as there was no
comparable expense under then existing accounting requirements for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. It should be emphasized, however, that
these measurements are not a substitution for GAAP-based financial
statements.

Catalina Marketing Corporation (NYSE:POS) today reported financial
results for its quarter ended September 30, 2006.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, consolidated
revenues were $112.6 million, a 9.6% increase over revenues of $102.8
million in the same period of the prior year. Consolidated net income,
which reflected increased spending associated with the color printer
and channel expansion initiatives in the current year quarter, was
$15.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted shared, compared with net income
of $19.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the same quarter of
the prior year. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2006
included stock-based compensation expense of $2.9 million, net of
related income taxes, as the result of the company's adoption of SFAS
No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, effective April 1, 2006. Excluding the
impact of stock-based compensation expense under the fair value
method, net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 would have
been $18.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share.
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2006, consolidated
revenues were $217.7 million, an increase of 11.9% over revenues of
$194.6 million in the comparable six month period of the prior year.
Consolidated net income, which reflected increased spending associated
with the color printer and channel expansion initiatives in the
current year period, was $29.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share,
compared with net income of $33.4 million, or $0.67 per diluted share,
in the prior year period. Results for the six months ended September
30, 2006 included stock-based compensation expense of $5.3 million,
net of related income taxes. Excluding the impact of stock based
compensation, net income for the six months ended September 30, 2006
would have been $34.5 million, or $0.74 per diluted share.
"On a consolidated basis we had solid revenue growth of nearly 10%
for the quarter," executive vice president and chief financial
officer, Rick Frier, commented. "Catalina Marketing International and
Catalina Marketing Services led the way with 24.0% and 8.5% growth,
respectively. Catalina Health Resource had a strong quarter, its
second highest revenue producing quarter ever, even without the
opportunistic spending by certain of our manufacturer clients that we
benefited from in the comparable prior year quarter."
Frier continued, "We are excited about the progress we have made
on the color printer initiative and the feedback that we have received
from manufacturers, retailers, and consumers. We have completed the
installation of color printers in approximately half of the planned
grocery store installations across our domestic network. We began to
see the impact of this investment in consolidated results during the
current quarter, as year-to-date operating margins, excluding the
impact of stock-based compensation expense, declined approximately 200
basis points compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Consistent with information we previously provided, on a full fiscal
year basis we expect operating margins to decrease by three to four
percentage points on a consolidated basis and five to seven percentage
points on the CMS segment as compared with the twelve months ended
March 31, 2006. The investment that we are making on both the balance
sheet and income statement is significant, but will provide the
foundation for long-term revenue and profit growth."

financial statements.
