Item 2.02 and 7.01. Results of Operations and Financial Condition and Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 4, 2010, j2 Global Communications, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. In the press release, j2 Global also reaffirmed its financial guidance for fiscal 2010 as follows: j2 Global targets revenue growth of 5% with a range of 3% to 7% compared to fiscal year 2009 revenues. Net earnings, excluding 123(R) non-cash compensation expense, are expected to approximate non-GAAP earnings in 2009 as the Company intends to reinvest its incremental operating income in initiatives designed to accelerate growth in 2011 and beyond. The range of anticipated revenues takes into account both organic growth and acquisition related growth within the context of current economic conditions.
The Company also announced in the press release that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase in the public market or in off-market transactions up to 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock at any time or times through April 30, 2012.
