Internet America, Inc. (GEEK) Announces Preliminary Unaudited Operating Results for Fiscal Year End

On Wednesday, Internet America, Inc. announced preliminary unaudited operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 decreased by 5.94 percent to approximately $6,979,000. This is in comparison to total revenues of approximately $7,420,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment loss, stock-based compensation expense and loss or gain on the transfer of assets) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 increased 671 percent to approximately $1,218,000. This is in comparison to adjusted EBITDA of approximately $158,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Net income and adjusted EBITDA were positively impacted in fiscal 2011 by continued reductions in costs and improved efficiencies associated with connectivity, operations, and general and administrative expenses initiated in the second half of fiscal 2010. Cash at June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $303,000 compared to cash at June 30, 2010 after a $444,000 reduction in existing debt, investments of $305,000 in capital upgrades and additions, and an investment of $108,000 in a small acquisition during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Despite Internet America, Inc.’s goodwill write-down of $376,000 during fiscal 2011, net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $677,000 to approximately ($303,000). This is in comparison to a net loss of ($980,000) in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The preliminary unaudited financial results reported are subject to the completion of the Company’s fiscal 2011 audit and any adjustments required in connection with it. Internet America, Inc. expects to report final audited results by the end of September 2011.
