Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 2006--Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNCR):
- Revenue of $18.9 million grows 34% year-over-year
- Non-GAAP operating income of $4.6 million grows 109% year-over-year and leads to a record 24% margin and non-GAAP EPS of $0.10
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNCR), a leading software provider of order management solutions to the communications services marketplace, today announced its operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Stephen G. Waldis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synchronoss, stated, "We are very pleased with the company's performance in the third quarter, which was highlighted by better than expected revenue and profitability." Waldis added, "The increase in our year-over-year growth was driven by continued progress with cable MSO customers signed during the first quarter of 2006. In addition, our business with Cingular continues to remain strong, and we are excited about the long-term growth prospects with our largest customer. We believe Synchronoss is well positioned to capitalize on the overall growth of the VoIP market as a result of sole source relationship with customers that currently account for the majority of the new subscribers adopting VoIP in the United States."
For the third quarter of 2006, Synchronoss reported net revenue of $18.9 million, representing an increase of 34% on a year-over-year basis and 8% on a sequential basis. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2006 was $10.2 million, including the impact of fair value stock compensation expense, representing a related gross margin of 54%.
Lawrence Irving, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, stated, "The automation rates that we realized from several large cable MSO customers and the wireless side of our business were better than expected. This led to an approximately 900 basis point increase in our overall gross margin in the third quarter, which helped to drive our non-GAAP operating margin to a record 24%. The increase in our margins is evidence of the scalability in our business model and ability to deliver rapid business results for our customers."
For the third quarter of 2006, Synchronoss reported income from operations, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), of $4.4 million. This included $205,000 of non-cash, fair value stock-based compensation expense. GAAP net income was $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2006, leading to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.10.
Non-GAAP gross profit for the third quarter of 2006 was $10.3 million, an increase of 68% on a year-over-year basis. The related gross margin for the third quarter of 2006 was 55%, an increase from 45% in the prior quarter and 44% in the third quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes fair value stock-based compensation expense, was $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2006, representing growth of 109% on a year-over-year basis and a non-GAAP operating margin of 24%. Based on a 42.2% effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income was $3.3 million, leading to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.10.
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."
Synchronoss had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $73.0 million at September 30, 2006, an increase of $11.2 million compared to the end of the prior quarter. The increase in cash was a result of $7.1 million in net proceeds from the July 3, 2006 exercise of the over-allotment option associated with the company's IPO, combined with positive cash from operations generated during the quarter.
Other Highlights
- Synchronoss' relationship with Cingular Wireless remained very strong, with record transaction volumes and year-over-year growth increasing from several percentage points in the prior quarter to 15% in the third quarter. In addition, business outside of the Cingular relationship, which is primarily driven by customers targeting the VoIP market, grew approximately 89% year-over-year and increased to 36% of total revenue, up from 32% in the prior quarter.
- deltathree announced that it will use Synchronoss' ActivationNow(R) software platform for automated local number portability. Through its relationships with wholesale and retail providers, which in addition to deltathree include AT&T, Cablevision Systems Corporation, Covad Communications, Vonage, Level 3 Communications, SunRocket, 360 Networks and Time Warner Cable, Synchronoss provides porting on behalf of the majority of VoIP service providers in the country.
- Synchronoss was added to the Russell 2000(R) Index, effective as of the close of business on September 29, 2006.
- Synchronoss was named the third fastest growing software company by Baseline Magazine.
