EBITDA for the fourth quarter were $6.4 million, an increase of 5% over the $6.1 million reported in the fourth quarter 2006.
"It was an unusual quarter in that we had two record months followed by a soft December, when several display advertisers cancelled booked business in that month as a result of anxiety in the mortgage and financial sectors," said Thomas R. Evans, President and Chief Executive Officer at Bankrate, Inc. "However, January's activity generated record traffic and click volume and 2008 is off to a great start," Mr. Evans added.
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $95.6 million, an increase of $16.0 million, or 20%, over the $79.6 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Earnings per fully diluted share, excluding stock compensation expense, increased by 51% to $1.39 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $0.92 for the same period in 2006. The $0.92 in adjusted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2006 excludes a $3.0 million legal settlement charge recorded in the third quarter of 2006.

Additionally, Bankrate announced earlier today that the company acquired the assets of InsureMe, Inc. ("InsureMe") based in Englewood, CO, and Lower Fees, Inc, ("Fee Disclosure"), which operates feedisclosure.com and is located in Westlake Village, CA, in separate transactions. The purchase price for the assets of InsureMe was $65 million in cash with an additional $20 million in cash in potential earn-out based on achieving specific financial performance metrics over the next two years. The assets of Fee Disclosure were acquired for $2.85 million in cash and a cash earn-out based on the net revenue achieved over the next five years.
Increase in 2008 Guidance
Bankrate is revising and increasing its 2008 guidance, which was previously announced during the company's December 10, 2007 conference call. As a result of the acquisitions of InsureMe and Fee Disclosure, along with the strength of the company's core business, Bankrate is now forecasting revenues of between $167 and $172 million dollars, and EBITDA of between $64 and $68 million dollars. The low end of the guidance represents a 75% increase in revenue and a 54% increase in EBITDA in 2008 over 2007.
"With the new acquisitions and the expectation that our core business will grow in excess of 25% in 2008, we have raised our guidance to reflect those positive developments," said Mr. Evans.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Bankrate's financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Bankrate uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including EBITDA, income from operations, earnings per diluted share and net income, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses, which might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Bankrate's current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, Bankrate believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results. In addition, because Bankrate has historically reported certain non- GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in its financial reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure within the accompanying financial statement tables.
