SYNCHRONOSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES

FIRST QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

·                  First quarter non-GAAP total revenue of $79.5 million increases 22% year-over-year

·                  First quarter non-GAAP operating income of $15.9 million represents 20% non-GAAP operating margin and drives non-GAAP EPS of $0.28

 

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — May 1, 2013 — Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNCR), the mobile innovation company that provides personal cloud solutions and software-based activation for connected devices across the globe, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2013.

 

“Our strong business momentum entering 2013 led to first quarter revenue that exceeded our expectations,” said Stephen G. Waldis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Synchronoss.  “We have recently launched our Personal Cloud platform with multiple customers, and our additional cloud services deployments remain on track.  2013 is a pivotal year for Synchronoss as our Personal Cloud customers across the globe deploy our platform and begin scaling their cloud services in the latter half of 2013.  We remain highly focused on ensuring that our mobile operator customers benefit from a superior customer experience, increasing adoption rates of their cloud services, and ultimately creating new revenue streams and lowering churn.”

 

On a GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported net revenues of $78.3 million, representing an increase of 21% compared to the first quarter of 2012.  Gross profit was $46.1 million and income from operations was $201 thousand in the first quarter of 2013.  Net income applicable to common stock was $476 thousand, leading to diluted earnings per share of $0.01, compared to $0.14 for the first quarter of 2012.

 

On a non-GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported net revenues of $79.5 million, an increase of 22% compared to the first quarter of 2012.  Gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 was $48.5 million, representing a gross margin of 61%.  Income from operations was $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2013, representing an operating margin of 20%.  Net income was $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $10.1 million in the year ago period.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.28 for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $0.26 for the first quarter of 2012.

 

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

 

Lawrence R. Irving, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, said “Synchronoss delivered a strong operational performance in the first quarter, which enabled us to meet our profitability objectives while continuing to invest in our industry leading Personal Cloud Platform.  We plan to continue to increase investments in our business to meet growing customer demand as we believe there will be significant payback over time.   Our cloud services revenue continues to be the fastest growing portion of our business and we believe we are well positioned to scale with our portfolio of global, tier one mobile operator customers.”

 



 

Other First Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

 

·                  Cloud Services revenue accounted for approximately $23.8 million of non-GAAP revenue, representing approximately 30% of total revenue and growing 29% on a year-over-year basis.

 

·                  Activation Services revenue accounted for approximately $55.7 million of non-GAAP revenue, representing approximately 70% of total revenue and growing 20% on a year-over-year basis.

 

·                  The Company expanded its executive team with the appointment of Nick Lazzaro as President of North America.  Mr. Lazzaro will oversee the Company’s North American operations under Bob Garcia, President and Chief Operating Officer.   Mr. Lazzaro has over 20 years of experience in technology and telecommunications, including executive positions at Vonage and Amdocs..

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Synchronoss has provided in this release selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes historical non-GAAP revenues, gross profit, operating income, net income, effective tax rate, earnings per share and cash flows from operating activities. Synchronoss uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Synchronoss’ ongoing operational performance. Synchronoss believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Synchronoss’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above add back the deferred revenue write-down associated with acquisitions, fair value stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, changes in the contingent consideration obligation, deferred compensation expense related to earn outs and amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed above. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
