HERNDON, Va., Aug. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — GeoEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEOY), a leading source of geospatial information and insight, announced today results for its fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

“Second quarter revenue and operating results were in line with our expectations,” said Matt O’Connell, GeoEye’s chief executive officer and president. “Revenues in our international business grew 8.9% as compared to the same quarter last year, while our domestic business was down slightly. Growth in our Production and other services business unit was another highlight in the quarter. And on July 23, we were pleased to announce our agreement to combine with DigitalGlobe. The combination of the two companies will create a global leader in earth imagery and geospatial analysis.”

When adjusted for $2.4 million of transaction and other costs associated with the process of combining with DigitalGlobe and the divestiture of MJ Harden, net income available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2012 was $13.0 million, or $0.57 per fully diluted share.

Operating profit was $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2012, which included $2.4 million of transaction and other costs. Operating margin was 25.0 percent for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 27.1 percent in the second quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measurement defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash recognition of stock compensation expense and other items including transaction related costs) was $44.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $44.0 million in the same period in 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income before depreciation and amortization expenses, net interest income or expense, provision for income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and other items including transaction related costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing operations. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under financial performance under GAAP, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents fully diluted earnings per share before other items, net of tax. We believe that Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS provide useful information to investors because they allow investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis by excluding items that are not related to the ongoing operations of our business. However, Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not recognized terms under financial performance under GAAP, and our calculation of Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures of other companies.
