"The rollout of our technology platform, AL 4.0, is on schedule, and we are on track to remove the reviews paywall by this summer.""Our freemium offering, which is being piloted in some top markets, continues to perform robustly, with logins, searches, contract value and reviews each up compared with our control markets," Durchslag continued. "These encouraging results give us confidence that our upcoming nationwide freemium rollout will drive a re-acceleration of our business.""We are also focused on stabilizing our core business during this time of change," continued Durchslag. "Our overall first quarter revenue was flat year over year as we continued to face headwinds on member and advertising revenue. Adjusted EBITDA1 declined from a year ago due largely to non-recurring expenses and investments in our initiatives to reignite revenue growth. On a more positive note, we sequentially grew our total number of service providers and our backlog of contract value, and our total site traffic increased approximately 25% in the first quarter of 2016 from the year-ago quarter."
