AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HomeAway, Inc. (Nasdaq:AWAY), the world's leading online marketplace for the vacation rental industry, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.

Management Commentary

"2012 was a year of significant accomplishment for HomeAway," says Brian Sharples, chief executive officer of HomeAway. "For the year, we delivered 22% revenue growth and a 32% increase in free cash flow. We were especially pleased to deliver throughout 2012 financial performance consistently in-line to ahead of our expectations, while making significant strides against our long-term strategy and broader mission."

Mr. Sharples continued, "Perhaps one of the most significant accomplishments of 2012 was the migration of VRBO.com to our common network. Post-migration, we achieved critical mass, with 75% of total listings now accessible on our global platform. This undertaking paved the way for the introduction of a more robust tiered pricing system with new bundled product offerings, the advancement of e-commerce and an overall improved user experience for property owners, managers and travelers."

"Of primary focus in 2013 is the continued rollout of our e-commerce capabilities and in particular, the introduction of our pay-per-booking pricing model and continued distribution of value-added services. To address the e-commerce opportunity, we have a very focused product development roadmap, which we feel confident our team will continue to deliver against," added Mr. Sharples.

- Total revenue increased 22.4% to $71.6 million from $58.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. On an FX neutral basis, year-over-year revenue growth was 23.4%. Growth in total revenue primarily reflects an increase in new listings and the benefit of ancillary product and service revenue.

- Other revenue, which is comprised of ancillary revenue from owners and travelers, advertising, software and other items, increased 19.8% to $9.2 million from $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Growth in other revenue primarily reflects the introduction and enhanced distribution of value-added owner, manager and traveler products.

Key Business Metrics

- Paid listings at the end of the fourth quarter were 711,631, a year-over-year increase of 11.0% from 640,925 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011.

- Average revenue per listing during the fourth quarter was $349, an 8.7% increase from $321 during the fourth quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of FX and pay-per-lead listings, average revenue per subscription listing would have been up 11.0%.

- Renewal rate was 73.8% at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to 76.8% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011.

- Visits were 124.0 million during the fourth quarter, a year-over-year increase of 27.2%.

On a comparable basis, HomeAway estimates that visits would have increased by 22.1% year-over-year.

Note: The recent ability of customers to consolidate listings and to purchase network product bundles impacts comparability of HomeAway's previously reported metrics for the fourth quarter of 2012, and for future periods. Absent this change, HomeAway estimates:

- Paid listings growth would have been as high as 13%;

- Average revenue per listing would have been $345 and excluding the impact of FX and pay-per-lead listings, average revenue per subscription listing would have been up 9.6%; and

- Renewal rate would have been 74.4%.
