TravelZoo (TZOO) just reported blowout earnings but revenue was light by about 3 million.  The stock is getting hit by this but I think we need to focus on earnings.  This company continues to make a lot of money.

-- Revenue of $35.2 million, up 23% year-over-year
-- Operating income of $8.2 million, up 22% year-over-year
-- Net income of $6.4 million, up 70% year-over-year
-- Earnings per share of $0.40, compared to $0.23 in the prior-year period
 
Travelzoo Inc., a global Internet media company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, with revenue of $35.2 million, an increase of 23% year-over-year. Operating income was $8.2 million, up 22% year-over-year. Net income was $6.4 million, with diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.40, up from $0.23 in the prior-year period.
 
"In a typically slower period for travel advertising, Q4 revenues grew faster year-over-year than in any such quarter in the past four years," said Chris Loughlin, chief executive officer of Travelzoo. "We remain positive about our Local Deals business, in which we differentiate from others by focusing on higher quality deals, as well as our ability to run and grow this business profitably. In the past two quarters, we have focused on putting the systems and teams in place that we intend to use in 2012 to continue to scale the business with attractive profitability."

 

It looks like Europe is still growing fast while US growth stalled.  The share buyback probably helped EPS as well.  However you look at it, they make a lot of money for such a small company.  Things are still good at TravelZoo.  The next two quarters should go well.

Income Taxes
 
Income tax expense was $1.9 million, compared to $3.0 million in the prior-year period. The effective income tax rate was 23%, down from 44% in the prior-year period.

Travelzoo exited the fourth quarter with $38.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.

 

how much of its sales were from Europe?

Europe
 
Europe business segment revenue for the fourth quarter grew 48% year-over-year to $9.7 million. In local currency terms, revenue for the fourth quarter grew 49% year-over-year. Operating profit for the fourth quarter was $1.7 million, compared to an operating profit of $22,000 in the prior-year period.

Thanks. It dropped pretty hard in pre-market. I guess people were not satisfied with the report?

Reported a blowout earnings but the stock is already down in pre-market?!

Yes, revenue missed by 10%, and it appears tax expenses were lower so that helped the $0.40 EPS.  However, earnings are earnings.  If Revenue was a lot higher, TZOO would be $35 right now instead of $28.70.

 Would you happen to know the current support level?

Maybe TZOO goes back to $25-$26 again - I will listen to the conference call tonight

I bought in at 28.15$ it's now down to 27.59$ I have a stop at 27. Should I pull out, if it seems weak, I'd rather get rid of it before of drops after hours..

It's tough to say where to buy and sell TZOO right now.  Support is between $25-$26.  What is coming out in after hours?
