IRVINE, Calif., June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TigerLogic Corporation (Nasdaq: TIGR) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.  Net revenue for the fourth quarter was $3.4 million and for the full fiscal year was $13.7 million, as compared to $3.5 million and $13.9 million for the same respective periods in the prior fiscal year.  Net loss for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $0.8 million as compared to a net loss of $0.6 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 was $3.0 million as compared to a net loss of $1.6 million in the prior fiscal year.  Net loss per share was $0.03 and $0.02 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.  Net loss per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 was $0.11 as compared to $0.06 for the prior fiscal year.  Cash balance was $11.4 million at March 31, 2011 as compared to $12.5 million at March 31, 2010.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other income (expense)-net, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense ("Adjusted EBITDA") for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 was negative $0.5 million and negative $1.5 million, or (15.1%) and (10.7%) of net revenue, respectively, as compared to negative $0.2 million and negative $1.0 million, or (6.5%) and (6.9%) of net revenue, respectively, for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010 was a result of lower revenue for support services and higher marketing and development expenses for our newer yolink and Postano product lines.  The Company computes Adjusted EBITDA, as reflected in the table appearing at the end of this press release, by adding depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, interest (income) expense, other (income) expense, and income tax provision (benefit) to its GAAP reported net loss.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined below) should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or as a better measure of liquidity than cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude components that are significant in understanding and assessing our results of operations and cash flows. EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for management's discretionary use and is not intended to represent cash flow from operations. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not terms defined by GAAP and as a result our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark our operational results and the Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry. Accordingly, the Company is disclosing this information to permit a more comprehensive analysis of its operating performance, to provide an additional measure of performance and liquidity and to provide additional information with respect to the Company's ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) with adjustments for depreciation and amortization, interest income (expense)-net, and income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA used by the Company is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income (expense)-net, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

The Company's Adjusted EBITDA financial information is comparable to net loss. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the Company's GAAP reported net loss:

Our Adjusted EBITDA financial information can also be reconciled to net cash used in operating activities as follows:
