The Company also declared that it has reached agreements with the staff of the Federal Trade Commission and representatives of a national class of consumers on a comprehensive settlement resolving outstanding litigation regardingits past marketing representations and information security programs. The Company noted that the agreements are not yet final, as the FTC staff’s recommendation to approve the settlement must still be approved by the Commission itself and a federal judge, and the class action settlement will require review and approval by the court.

The projected FTC settlement does not require us to change our current products, services, or business and information security practices, counting in particular, our current marketing and advertising practices. In light of the agreements, LifeLock has accrued an additional $96 million in reserves, bringing the total amount of its reserves for this matter to $116 million. This $116 million also comprises a $3 million reserve for a potential settlement with state attorneys general.

“We are happy with our performance in the quarter, which reflected a 24% improvement in revenues and strong gains in adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA,�? said Todd Davis, LifeLock’s Chairman and CEO. “In addition, we believe the agreements we declared recently are in the best interest of our shareholders and represent a positive step toward achieving closure on substantial outstanding litigation against the Company. These settlements, if approved, will enable all of us to focus on our mission of protecting our members.�?
