“Throughout 2009, we have consistently delivered solid financial results, driven by the strong performance of our OpenSRS wholesale business, the initiatives we have undertaken to improve other components of our business, and the success of our efforts to improve our cost structure,” said Elliot Noss, President and CEO of Tucows. “Fundamentally, our business is strong and we are performing very well operationally. Amidst a weakening Internet services environment, our strong competitive position, supported by continuing improvements to our OpenSRS platform, has enabled us to grow new registrations in excess of industry performance. All of this continues to position us well for the remainder of 2009 and beyond.”

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $20.5 million compared with $20.1 million for the third quarter of 2008.

Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $5.1 million, or $0.07 per share, compared with a net loss of $71,000, or less than $0.01 per share, for the third quarter of 2008. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 benefitted from other income of $1.9 million generated by receipt of the third and final payment related to the sale of the Company’s equity stake in Afilias, as well as a gain on foreign exchange of $1.9 million (inclusive of a mark-to-market gain of $1.9 million) compared to a loss on foreign exchange of $0.7 million (inclusive of a mark-to-market loss of $0.5 million) for the third quarter of 2008. In addition, because the Company is no longer subject to state taxes in certain jurisdictions, it has amended its tax rate payable in connection with its deferred tax liability resulting in an income tax recovery of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Deferred revenue at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $56.5 million, an increase of 4% from $54.4 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and a slight decrease from $56.9 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were $8.2 million compared with $2.7 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and $7.4 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. This increase in cash compared with the second quarter of 2009 is primarily the result of the receipt of the $2.0 million payment related to the sale of the Company’s equity stake in Afilias last year, which was partially offset by the repayment of $479,000 of the Company’s bank loan and the use of $570,000 for the repurchase of shares under the Company’s second modified “Dutch auction” tender offer, which concluded in July of this year. Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $82,000 and was impacted by a change in non-cash working capital related to the timing of payables and receivables of $1.5 million, the result of the receipt of $0.5 million in receivables shortly after quarter end and the payment of $1.0 million in certain payables to comply with changes in the Company’s relationships with certain suppliers.

Tucows Inc. Adds Return Path Email Feedback Loop to OpenSRS Email Service

Tucows — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:11:35 +0000

TORONTO, Oct. 15 – Tucows Inc. (AMEX:TCX, TSX:TC) a global provider of domain names, email and other Internet services, announced today that it has added an email feedback loop (FBL) service in partnership with Return Path, the leader in email reputation services. The addition of this FBL further demonstrates Tucows’ commitment to making the Internet, and email in particular, both easier and more effective.

Through OpenSRS, its wholesale Internet services division, Tucows provides and manages millions of mailboxes on behalf of its network of over 9,000 resellers around the world.

“Our new feedback loop will reduce unwanted inbound spam hitting our users’ inboxes by providing an effective complaint system that provides data from those end users directly to ISPs and other senders allowing them to take action to reduce spam being sent from their systems,” said Garrick Lau, Manager, IT Security and Compliance, Tucows Inc.

“Partnering with Return Path keeps us connected with the largest email providers around the world as we work together on improvements to the FBL standard and best practices,” continued Lau. “Return Path’s expertise in email deliverability and extensive partnerships in the email community allow us to maximize the effectiveness of our newly created FBL.”

The Return Path FBL service provides authorized email senders who have chosen to participate in the feedback loop with a copy of any message that recipients have reported as spam. End users of OpenSRS Email Service are able to easily report spam by simply pressing a “Mark as Spam” button in their web-based email interface.

Tucows, through Return Path, provides the feedback loop to service qualified email senders, so those senders can both identify customers who no longer want to receive similar mail, and quickly recognize problems originating from their networks, such as virus-infected, spam-producing computers.

“Feedback loops help both email senders and email receivers (ISPs) make email better for consumers,” said Alex Rubin, VP, Business Development, Return Path. “They help senders by giving them actionable information they can use to improve their email programs and reduce complaint rates. Feedback loops also help receivers by making it possible to get their customers removed from email lists they no longer value. Feedback loops help eliminate unwanted email for everyone: senders, receivers and most importantly, end-users.”
