Interactive Data's fourth-quarter 2011 income from operations was $33.2 million, compared with a loss from operations of $1.2 million in same period one year ago. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (which excludes items that are either not part of the Company's ongoing core operations, or do not require a cash outlay, or are not otherwise expected to recur in the ordinary course) for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $83.5 million, a 13.6% increase over the same period one year ago.

"2011 was a successful year for Interactive Data, capped by a solid performance in the fourth quarter," stated Mason Slaine, Interactive Data's president and chief executive officer. "During the fourth quarter, we continued to drive steady revenue growth within our evaluated pricing and reference data product areas, and produced strong gains within our ultra low latency trading infrastructure services product area. We are pleased with the growth in adjusted EBITDA and our ability to sustain very strong free cash flow while making key investments in our people, products, infrastructure and technology. Our initiatives to innovate during the past year are resonating with our customers worldwide as we focus on broadening our market coverage, adding new and enhanced features and functionality, and bringing new high-value offerings to the marketplace."
