  — Revenues totaled $33.7 million, a 17% increase over Q1 2011.
  — Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
      amortization and stock-based compensation) totaled $17.1 million, or 51%
      of North America revenues, a 24% increase over Q1 2011.
International Results


  — Installed restaurant base as of March 31, 2012, totaled 8,091, a 21%
      increase over March 31, 2011.
  — Seated diners totaled 2.3 million, a 45% increase over Q1 2011.

      loss of $1.5 million in Q1 2011.
“We’re focusing our efforts in areas that we believe position the business to realize the long-term opportunity in both our North America and International segments,” said Matt Roberts, President and CEO of OpenTable.  “In our International segment, we’re pleased that the final phase of integrating OpenTable technology into toptable - our consumer destination site in the UK - is on track for completion by the end of June and that the value of the combined solution is resonating with existing and prospective restaurant customers.”

Q1 2012 Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary


  — Installed restaurant base as of March 31, 2012, totaled 25,844, a 22%
      increase over March 31, 2011.
  — Seated diners totaled 30.0 million, a 34% increase over Q1 2011.
  — Total revenues were $39.4 million in Q1 2012, up 17% over Q1 2011
      revenues of $33.7 million.
    — Reservation revenues were $22.3 million in Q1 2012, up 27% over Q1
        2011 revenues of $17.6 million.  Reservation revenues primarily
        increased as a result of the increase in seated diners.
    — Subscription revenues were $13.5 million in Q1 2012, up 13% over Q1
        2011 revenues of $12.0 million.  Subscription revenues primarily
        increased as a result of the increase in installed restaurants using
        our Electronic Reservation Book solution.
    — Other revenues were $3.5 million in Q1 2012, down 14% over Q1 2011
        revenues of $4.1 million.  The decrease is primarily the result of a
        decrease in revenue from third-party restaurant coupon sales,
        partially offset by an increase in advertising revenues and featured
        private dining sales.
  — Total operating expenses were $32.0 million in Q1 2012, up 18% over Q1
      2011 operating expenses of $27.2 million.  The increase was primarily
      driven by an increase in stock based compensation and an 8% increase in
      headcount.
  — Total operating income was $7.4 million in Q1 2012 compared to $6.5
      million in Q1 2011.  Non-GAAP consolidated operating income, excluding
      stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired
      intangibles was $14.3 million in Q1 2012 compared to $10.5 million in Q1
      2011.
  — The Q1 2012 GAAP income tax expense was $2.6 million, or a 35% tax rate.
  — Consolidated net income was $4.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in
      Q1 2012 compared to $4.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in Q1
      2011.  Non-GAAP consolidated net income, which excludes tax-affected
      stock-based compensation expense and tax-affected amortization of
      acquired intangibles, was $9.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in
      Q1 2012 compared to $6.8 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in Q1
      2011.
  — As of March 31, 2012, OpenTable had cash and cash equivalents and
      short-term investments of $57.7 million.
“During the first quarter the business continued to deliver solid operating metrics, adjusted EBITDA margins and cash flows even as we invest for the future,” said Duncan Robertson, CFO of OpenTable.

Quarterly Conference Call

A conference call will be webcast live today at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET and will be available through May 31, 2012, at http://investors.opentable.com/events.cfm.  This call may contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding the Company’s financial and operating results.

About Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Tables are provided in the press release that reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  The reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables below include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this press release and adjustments that the Company can reasonably predict.  Events that could cause the reconciliation to change include, but are not limited, to acquisitions and divestitures of businesses, goodwill and other asset impairments, and sales of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments.

The non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include non-GAAP consolidated net income and the related per diluted share amounts, non-GAAP consolidated operating income and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.  Non-GAAP financial measure adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation.  Within the Company’s reconciliation to non-GAAP diluted net income per share, the impact of undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities has been excluded.

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company’s core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and its prospects for the future. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles because they do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations. These adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results and trends and performance.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results.  The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

Background Information

The Company reports consolidated operations in U.S. dollars and operates in two geographic segments: North America and International. The North America segment is comprised of all operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and the International segment is comprised of all non-North America operations, which includes operations in Europe and Asia. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from its restaurant customers. The Company’s revenues primarily include monthly subscription fees, a fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations, and other revenue, including installation fees for the Electronic Reservation Book (including training).

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and its attachments contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks and uncertainties.  These forward-looking statements include guidance for Q2 2012 and the full year 2012 and the quotations from management in this press release, as well as any statements regarding the Company’s strategic and operational plans.  The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.  Factors that may contribute to such differences include, among others, the impact of the current economic climate on the Company’s business; the Company’s ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth; the Company’s ability to effectively manage its growth; the Company’s ability to attract new restaurant customers; the Company’s ability to increase the number of visitors to its website and convert those visitors into diners; the Company’s ability to retain existing restaurant customers and diners or encourage repeat reservations; the Company’s ability to successfully enter new markets and manage its international expansion; the Company’s ability to successfully manage any acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies; interruptions in service and any related impact on the Company’s reputation; and costs associated with defending intellectual property infringement and other claims.  More information about potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.  The Company does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.
