WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), the leading provider of commercial real estate information, analytics and online marketplaces, announced today that revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $213 million, an increase of 12.5% over revenue of $189 million in the third quarter of 2015. Net income for the third quarter of 2016 increased to $23 million or $0.72 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $(5) million in the third quarter of 2015. EBITDA in the third quarter of 2016 was $58 million compared to $22 million in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 161%. EBITDA margin was 27% in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 12% in the third quarter of 2015.
"We achieved another strong quarter of profitable revenue growth in the third quarter of 2016," said Andrew C. Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. "Our focus on investing in growth and cost management has generated net income and EBITDA through the first nine months of 2016 that is as high or higher than in any other 12 month period in our history. Net new sales of our flagship service CoStar Suite continued to accelerate. Year-to-date in 2016, we have outpaced CoStar Suite net new sales over the same time period in 2015 by 33%."
"Our expansion into multifamily has been a tremendous success. In just two and a half years, we have transformed Apartments.com. At the time of the acquisition in the first quarter of 2014, Apartments.com averaged 7.8 million visits a month according to comScore and generated annual revenue of $86 million, placing it third among internet listing sites. In the third quarter of 2016, Apartments.com is now number one in visits averaging 21 million visits a month according to comScore and we believe we are number one in annualized revenue we generate in the multifamily space. From November 2015 to September 2016, Apartments.com visits are up 39% while our next closest competitor is down 10% according to comScore."

CoStar Suite revenue for the third quarter of 2016 of $103 million increased 13% versus the third quarter of 2015 and 14% excluding the impact of foreign currency movements. Compared to the third quarter of 2015, multifamily revenue increased 17% in the third quarter of 2016, and 22% for the same period on a pro forma basis (defined below), adjusting for non-core services that were shut down after the Apartment Finder acquisition.
Non-GAAP net income (defined below) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $36 million or $1.11 per diluted share, an increase of $19 million compared to non-GAAP net income of $17 million in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes stock-based compensation and other items as defined below) was $67 million for the third quarter of 2016 versus $35 million in the third quarter of 2015, which is an increase of 89% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 32% for the third quarter of 2016 versus 19% for the third quarter of 2015.
Company-wide net bookings were $26 million in the third quarter of 2016. This is the sixth quarter in a row of over $25 million in quarterly net bookings. Strong net bookings in the third quarter were achieved in spite of headwinds that resulted from our plan to shut down the LoopNet information products and our reduced sales efforts for LoopNet Premium Searcher ahead of the planned integration with CoStar Suite.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $533 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, which is an increase of approximately $58 million in the third quarter of 2016. Short and long-term debt outstanding, net of debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $338 million as of September 30, 2016.
2016 Outlook
"The Company continued to deliver strong revenue growth and better than expected earnings in the third quarter of 2016," stated Scott T. Wheeler, Chief Financial Officer of CoStar Group. "With our continued focus on profitable growth, we are again increasing our full-year earnings forecast."
The Company expects revenue of approximately $835 million to $838 million for the full year of 2016. For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects revenue of approximately $216 million to $219 million.
For the full year of 2016, the Company expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share (defined below) in a range of approximately $4.20 to $4.25, raising the midpoint by $0.13 from the prior outlook, and by $0.55 from the Company's initial 2016 guidance. For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share of approximately $1.23 to $1.28.
The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group's expectations as of October 26, 2016, including forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis. We are not able to forecast with certainty whether or when certain events, such as acquisition-related costs, the exact amounts or timing of investments, transition, restructuring, settlements or impairments will occur in any given quarter. Given the risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed above, actual results may differ materially. Other than in publicly available statements, the Company does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement.
Reconciliation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share and all of the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP basis results are shown in detail below, along with definitions for those terms. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, can be found within the tables included in this release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations, please refer to the Company's latest periodic report.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group before (i) interest income (expense), (ii) provision for income taxes, and (iii) depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EBITDA before (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) acquisition and integration related costs, (iii) restructuring charges and related costs, and (iv) settlements and impairments incurred outside the Company's normal business operations.
Non-GAAP net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group before (i) purchase amortization and other related costs, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) acquisition and integration related costs, (iv) purchase accounting adjustments, (v) restructuring charges and related costs, and (vi) settlements and impairments. From this figure, we then subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to arrive at non-GAAP net income. The company assumes a 38% tax rate in order to approximate our long-term effective corporate tax rate.
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share (also referred to as non-GAAP EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents non-GAAP net income divided by the number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. For periods with GAAP net losses and non-GAAP net income, the weighted-average outstanding shares used to calculate non-GAAP net income per share includes potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the calculation of GAAP net income per share as the effect was anti-dilutive.
Pro-forma Revenue Definition
Pro-forma revenue growth rates presented in this release include the addition of Apartment Finder core online marketplace revenue recognized prior to the June 1, 2015 acquisition date and exclude any pre- or post- acquisition revenue for discontinued Apartment Finder services such as Finder Social.
