Google Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2009 Results
Business Wire
Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) today announced financial results for the
quarter and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
“Google had a strong fourth quarter, with 17% year over year revenue
growth,” said Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google. “Given that the global
economy is still in the early days of recovery, this was an
extraordinary end to the year. Our performance in 2009 underscored the
strength of our management team, the resilience of our business model
and the pace of innovation within our product and engineering teams,
which continued unabated throughout the downturn. As we enter 2010, we
remain hugely optimistic about the internet and are continuing to invest
heavily in technological innovation for the benefit not only of our
users and customers, but also the wider web.”
Q4 Financial Summary
Google reported revenues of $6.67 billion for the quarter ended December
31, 2009, an increase of 17% compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.
Google reports its revenues, consistent with GAAP, on a gross basis
without deducting traffic acquisition costs (TAC). In the fourth quarter
of 2009, TAC totaled $1.72 billion, or 27% of advertising revenues.
Google reports operating income, operating margin, net income, and
earnings per share (EPS) on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. The non-GAAP
measures, as well as free cash flow, an alternative non-GAAP measure of
liquidity, are described below and are reconciled to the corresponding
GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables.
- GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $2.48 billion, or 37% of revenues. This compares to GAAP operating income of $1.86 billion, or 33% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $2.76 billion, or 41% of revenues. This compares to non-GAAP operating income of $2.15 billion, or 38% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2008.
- GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $1.97 billion, compared to $382 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $2.19 billion, compared to $1.62 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008.
- GAAP EPS in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $6.13 on 322 million diluted shares outstanding, compared to $1.21 in the fourth quarter of 2008 on 317 million diluted shares outstanding. Non-GAAP EPS in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $6.79, compared to $5.10 in the fourth quarter of 2008.
- Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin exclude the expenses related to stock-based compensation (SBC). Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS exclude the expenses related to SBC and, in the fourth quarter of 2008, the non-cash impairment charges primarily related to our investments in AOL and Clearwire, and the related tax benefits. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the charge related to SBC was $276 million, compared to $286 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The tax benefit related to SBC was $62 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $65 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recognized $1.09 billion in asset impairment charges related primarily to our investments in AOL and Clearwire. The tax benefit related to the impairment charges was $82 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP operating income, operating margin, net income, and EPS are included at the end of this release.
Q4 Financial Highlights
Revenues – Google reported revenues of $6.67 billion in the
fourth quarter of 2009, representing a 17% increase over fourth quarter
2008 revenues of $5.70 billion. Google reports its revenues, consistent
with GAAP, on a gross basis without deducting TAC.
Google Sites Revenues - Google-owned sites generated revenues of
$4.42 billion, or 66% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2009.
This represents a 16% increase over fourth quarter 2008 revenues of
$3.81 billion.
Google Network Revenues - Google’s partner sites generated
revenues, through AdSense programs, of $2.04 billion, or 31% of total
revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2009. This represents a 21% increase
from fourth quarter 2008 network revenues of $1.69 billion.
International Revenues - Revenues from outside of the United
States totaled $3.52 billion, representing 53% of total revenues in the
fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 53% in the third quarter of 2009 and
50% in the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding gains related to our
foreign exchange risk management program, had foreign exchange rates
remained constant from the third quarter of 2009 through the fourth
quarter of 2009, our revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 would have
been $112 million lower. Excluding gains related to our foreign exchange
risk management program, had foreign exchange rates remained constant
from the fourth quarter of 2008 through the fourth quarter of 2009, our
revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 would have been $196 million
lower.
- Revenues from the United Kingdom totaled $772 million, representing 12% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 12% in the fourth quarter of 2008.
- In the fourth quarter of 2009, we recognized a benefit of $8 million to revenues through our foreign exchange risk management program, compared to $129 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Paid Clicks – Aggregate paid clicks, which include clicks related
to ads served on Google sites and the sites of our AdSense partners,
increased approximately 13% over the fourth quarter of 2008 and
increased approximately 9% over the third quarter of 2009.
Cost-Per-Click – Average cost-per-click, which includes clicks
related to ads served on Google sites and the sites of our AdSense
partners, increased approximately 5% over the fourth quarter of 2008 and
increased approximately 2% over the third quarter of 2009.
TAC - Traffic Acquisition Costs, the portion of revenues shared
with Google’s partners, increased to $1.72 billion in the fourth quarter
of 2009, compared to TAC of $1.48 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008.
TAC as a percentage of advertising revenues was 27% in the fourth
quarter of 2009, compared to 27% in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The majority of TAC is related to amounts ultimately paid to our AdSense
partners, which totaled $1.47 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009. TAC
also includes amounts ultimately paid to certain distribution partners
and others who direct traffic to our website, which totaled $250 million
in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Other Cost of Revenues - Other cost of revenues, which is
comprised primarily of data center operational expenses, amortization of
intangible assets, content acquisition costs as well as credit card
processing charges, decreased to $688 million, or 10% of revenues, in
the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $707 million, or 12% of
revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2008.

29% of revenues.
Stock-Based Compensation (SBC) – In the fourth quarter of 2009,
the total charge related to SBC was $276 million, compared to $286
million in the fourth quarter of 2008.
We currently estimate SBC charges for grants to employees prior to
January 1, 2010 to be approximately $1.2 billion for 2010. This estimate
does not include expenses to be recognized related to employee stock
awards that are granted after December 31, 2009 or non-employee stock
awards that have been or may be granted.
Operating Income - GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of
2009 was $2.48 billion, or 37% of revenues. This compares to GAAP
operating income of $1.86 billion, or 33% of revenues, in the fourth
quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of 2009
was $2.76 billion, or 41% of revenues. This compares to non-GAAP
operating income of $2.15 billion, or 38% of revenues, in the fourth
quarter of 2008.
Interest Income and Other, Net – Interest income and other, net
increased to $88 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $70
million in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Income Taxes – Our effective tax rate was 23% for the fourth
quarter of 2009.
Net Income – GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was
$1.97 billion, compared to $382 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP net income was $2.19 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009,
compared to $1.62 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008. GAAP EPS in the
fourth quarter of 2009 was $6.13 on 322 million diluted shares
outstanding, compared to $1.21 in the fourth quarter of 2008 on 317
million diluted shares outstanding. Non-GAAP EPS in the fourth quarter
of 2009 was $6.79, compared to $5.10 in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures – Net cash provided by
operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $2.73
billion, compared to $2.12 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008. In the
fourth quarter of 2009, capital expenditures were $221 million, the
majority of which was related to IT infrastructure investments,
including data centers, servers, and networking equipment. Free cash
flow, an alternative non-GAAP measure of liquidity, is defined as net
cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. In the
fourth quarter of 2009, free cash flow was $2.51 billion.
We expect to continue to make significant capital expenditures.
A reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating
activities, the GAAP measure of liquidity, is included at the end of
this release.
Cash – As of December 31, 2009, cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term marketable securities were $24.5 billion.
On a worldwide basis, Google employed 19,835 full-time employees as of
December 31, 2009, up from 19,665 full-time employees as of September
30, 2009.

and in the attachments is as of January 21, 2010, and Google undertakes
no duty to update this information.
ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which statements
are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following
non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP
operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, and free cash flow.
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.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see
the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations
measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures" and "Reconciliation
from net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow"
included at the end of this release.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational
decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.
Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and
liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be
indicative of our "recurring core business operating results," meaning
our operating performance excluding not only non-cash charges, such as
stock-based compensation, but also discrete cash charges that are
infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors
benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing
our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future
periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's
internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well
as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these
non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1)
they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by
management in its financial and operational decision making and (2) they
are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to
help them analyze the health of our business.
Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin. We define
non-GAAP operating income as operating income plus stock-based
compensation. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as non-GAAP operating
income divided by revenues. Google considers these non-GAAP financial
measures to be useful metrics for management and investors because they
exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and one-time events so
that Google's management and investors can compare Google's recurring
core business operating results over multiple periods. Because of
varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and
the variety of award types that companies can use under FAS 123R,
Google's management believes that providing a non-GAAP financial measure
that excludes stock-based compensation allows investors to make
meaningful comparisons between Google's recurring core business
operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing
Google's management with an important tool for financial and operational
decision making and for evaluating Google's own recurring core business
operating results over different periods of time. There are a number of
limitations related to the use of non-GAAP operating income versus
operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. First, non-GAAP
operating income excludes some costs, namely, stock-based compensation,
that are recurring. Stock-based compensation has been and will continue
to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in
Google's business. Second, stock-based compensation is an important part
of our employees' compensation and impacts their performance. Third, the
components of the costs that we exclude in our calculation of non-GAAP
operating income may differ from the components that our peer companies
exclude when they report their results of operations. Management
compensates for these limitations by providing specific information
regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP operating income and
evaluating non-GAAP operating income together with operating income
calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP net income and EPS. We define non-GAAP net income as net
income plus stock-based compensation and, in the fourth quarter of 2008,
non-cash impairment charges, less the related tax effects. We define
non-GAAP EPS as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average
outstanding shares, on a fully-diluted basis. We consider these non-GAAP
financial measures to be a useful metric for management and investors
for the same reasons that Google uses non-GAAP operating income and
non-GAAP operating margin. However, in order to provide a complete
picture of our recurring core business operating results, we exclude
from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS the tax effects associated
with stock-based compensation and the impairment charges in the fourth
quarter of 2008. Without excluding these tax effects, investors would
only see the gross effect that excluding these expenses had on our
operating results. The same limitations described above regarding
Google's use of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin
apply to our use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS. Management
compensates for these limitations by providing specific information
regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP EPS and evaluating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS
together with net income and EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Free cash flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by
operating activities minus capital expenditures. We consider free cash
flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to
management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the
business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment,
including information technology infrastructure and land and buildings,
can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our
business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the balance
sheet. Analysis of free cash flow also facilitates management's
comparisons of our operating results to competitors' operating results.
A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash
provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating Google is
that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in
the cash balance from operations for the period because it excludes cash
used for capital expenditures during the period. Our management
compensates for this limitation by providing information about our
capital expenditures on the face of the cash flow statement and under
the caption “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Google has computed free cash flow using the
same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year.
The accompanying tables have 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.
