"OpenTable reported its first quarter earnings today. Here are the brass tacks: revenue for the quarter was $39.4 million, with profits of\u00A0$4.8 million. The company earned\u00A0$0.21 per share in the quarter.\r\n\r\nHowever, that $39.4 million in revenue was a slim 17% higher than what the company reported in 2011. 17% is a fine rate of revenue growth for most firms, but for an Internet company, and one that sports a PE ratio of nearly 50, it's not fantastic.\r\n\r\nThe company claims that it seated 33% more US diners this quarter, compared to the year ago quarter, and 45% more internationally. The market, however, is brutalizing the company in after hours trading. At the time of writing, the company is off some 18%, and declining. It was down 15% when I began writing this article.\r\n\r\nHowever, it should be noted that its\u00A0massive decline may not be completely tied to the company's earnings. As Schaeffers Research notes, there exists a big short\u00A0position on the stock:\r\n46.5% of OPEN's float is dedicated to short interest [... A] downbeat report could inspire the shorts to ramp up their bets against the stock. Options players are certainly betting on some volatile post-earnings price action, with implied volatility on OPEN's near-the-money May 45 call and put lingering at a lofty 75%. For comparison, the equity's one-month realized volatility is 38%.\r\nSo, where the stock ends up is a bit of a guessing game. However, it's hard to be too down on OpenTable, as the company is profitable, and growing. OpenTable expects revenues of around $140 million in 2012.\r\n\r\nWhat follows is the company's earnings release:\r\nOpenTable reported consolidated net revenues for Q1 2012 of\u00A0$39.4 million, a 17% increase over Q1 2011.\u00A0 Consolidated net income for Q1 2012 was\u00A0$4.8 million, or\u00A0$0.21\u00A0per diluted share.\u00A0 Non-GAAP consolidated net income for Q1 2012, which excludes tax-affected stock-based compensation expense and tax-affected amortization of acquired intangibles, was\u00A0$9.2 million, or\u00A0$0.40\u00A0per diluted share.\r\n\r\nOpenTable provides operating results by geography as the Company is at different stages of development in its\u00A0North America and International operations.\r\n\r\nNorth America Results\r\n\r\n\tInstalled restaurant base as of\u00A0March 31, 2012, totaled 17,753, a 22% increase over\u00A0March 31, 2011.\r\n\tSeated diners totaled 27.7 million, a 33% increase over Q1 2011.\r\n\tRevenues totaled\u00A0$33.7 million, a 17% increase over Q1 2011.\r\n\tNon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) totaled\u00A0$17.1 million, or 51% of\u00A0North America\u00A0revenues, a 24% increase over Q1 2011.\r\n\r\nInternational Results\r\n\r\n\tInstalled restaurant base as of\u00A0March 31, 2012, totaled 8,091, a 21% increase over\u00A0March 31, 2011.\r\n\tSeated diners totaled 2.3 million, a 45% increase over Q1 2011.\r\n\tRevenues totaled\u00A0$5.6 million, a 14% increase over Q1 2011.\r\n\tNon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA totaled a loss of\u00A0$0.6 million\u00A0compared to a loss of\u00A0$1.5 million\u00A0in Q1 2011.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We're focusing our efforts in areas that we believe position the business to realize the long-term opportunity in both our\u00A0North America\u00A0and International segments,&amp;quot;
