Q3 2017 Business and Financial Highlights

End of Period Subscribers in Q3 2017 were up 18.4% versus the prior year period, driven by growth in all major geographic markets. Q3 2017 End of Period Meeting Subscribers were up 10.6% and End of Period Online Subscribers were up 24.4% versus the prior year period.
Total Paid Weeks in Q3 2017 were up 19.8% versus the prior year period, driven by growth in all major geographic markets. Q3 2017 Meeting Paid Weeks increased 11.2% and Online Paid Weeks increased 26.7% versus the prior year period.
Revenues in Q3 2017 were $323.7 million. On a constant currency basis, Q3 2017 revenues increased 13.9% versus the prior year period.

Service Revenues in Q3 2017 were $273.2 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues increased 16.1% versus the prior year period. This increase was driven by growth in all major geographic markets on a constant currency basis.
Product Sales and Other in Q3 2017 were $50.5 million. On a constant currency basis, these revenues increased 3.3% versus the prior year period, with growth in product sales partially offset by declines in licensing.

Operating Income in Q3 2017 was $91.4 million. On a constant currency basis, operating income increased 34.4% versus the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by operating leverage on higher revenues in the quarter versus the prior year period.
Tax Rate in Q3 2017 was 30.5% as compared to 10.3% in the prior year period. The Q3 2017 tax rate was lower than anticipated due to the reversal of certain tax reserves.
Net Income in Q3 2017 was $44.7 million compared to $34.7 million in the prior year period.
Earnings per fully diluted share (EPS) in Q3 2017 was $0.65 compared to $0.53 in the prior year period.

Certain Items Affecting Year-Over-Year Comparability

Q3 2017 results benefited from the reversal of certain tax reserves, the impact of which positively impacted EPS by $0.03 per fully diluted share.
Q3 2016 results benefited from a lower tax rate in the quarter, primarily driven by the net tax incentives related to prior-year technology investments partially offset by out-of-period adjustments. The net impact of these items positively impacted Q3 2016 EPS by $0.13 per fully diluted share.

Other Items

Cash balance was $178.2 million as of the end of Q3 2017. At September 30, 2017, under the Company's credit facility, the Company had $1,930.4 million outstanding consisting entirely of Tranche B-2 Term Loans and had $47.8 million in available unused commitments under the revolving facility thereunder.

Statement regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides information regarding non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release:

To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of operating results that exclude or adjust certain items. The Company presents in the attachments to this release the non-GAAP financial measure earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (EBITDAS). In addition, the Company presents certain of its financial results on a constant currency basis in addition to GAAP results. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. In this release and any attachments, the Company calculates constant currency by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" attached to this release and reconciliations, if any, included elsewhere in this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
