IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TigerLogic Corporation (Nasdaq: TIGR) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2012.  Net revenue was $3.2 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $3.4 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2011.  Net loss was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the third quarters ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  Net loss per share was $0.02 for the third quarter ended December 31, 2012, as compared to a net loss per share of $0.03 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  Cash balance was $7.9 million at December 31, 2012 as compared to $9.0 million at December 31, 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, was negative $0.4 million or negative 12.5% of total net revenue, as compared to negative $0.3 million or negative 10.3% of total net revenue for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, was mainly due to lower revenue, and higher general and administrative expenses relating to the acquisition of Storycode. 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 do not represent funds available for management's discretionary use and are 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 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:
