Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Stephen G. Waldis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synchronoss, stated, "We were pleased with the company's performance in the second quarter, which was highlighted by very strong revenue growth and significant transaction volumes associated with the launch of new transaction types. We were extremely pleased to be a part of the highly successful and revolutionary Apple iPhone(TM) launch. In addition, our growth opportunity within other areas of AT&T and non-AT&T customers continues to expand in multiple areas as well."
Waldis added, "We are optimistic about our long-term outlook based on the continuing expansion of our relationship with AT&T, success of new transaction types and additional customers that are moving to our ConvergenceNow(TM) platform. From an overall perspective, transaction volumes continue to ramp more quickly than we originally expected."
For the second quarter of 2007, Synchronoss reported net revenue of $31.3 million, representing an increase of 80% on a year-over-year basis and 47% on a sequential basis. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2007 was $16.8 million, including the impact of fair value stock compensation expense, representing a related gross margin of 54%. Synchronoss reported income from operations, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), of $8.4 million, including $675,000 of fair value stock-based compensation expense. GAAP net income was $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2007, leading to GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.16.
Non-GAAP gross profit for the second quarter of 2007 was $16.9 million, an increase of 114% on a year-over-year basis. The related non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 2007 was 54%, an increase from 45% in the second quarter of 2006 and compared to 55% in the first quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes fair value stock-based compensation expense, was $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2007, representing growth of 242% on a year-over-year basis and a non-GAAP operating margin of 29%. Based on a 41.6% effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income was $5.8 million, leading to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.17.
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 $77.6 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of approximately $600,000 compared to the end of the previous quarter. The decrease in cash was primarily the result of $2.6 million in positive cash from operations, offset by $3.2 million in infrastructure investments to support the long-term growth of the company.
Lawrence Irving, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, stated, "During the second quarter, we were very pleased with the execution of our worldwide organization in preparing to support the highly anticipated Apple iPhone launch. Our increased level of investments in technology, people and processes were instrumental to our success, and they were key enablers to Synchronoss' strong revenue growth and better-than-expected profitability in the quarter. We are continuing to make the appropriate level of investments to support new transaction types across our existing customers as well as new customers, and we will continue to focus on incrementally improving our automation rates to optimize our profitability margins."
Other Highlights
-- Business related to AT&T was approximately $25.3 million in the second quarter, representing growth of 111% on a year-over-year basis. As a percentage of the company's total revenue, business related to AT&T was 81% in the second quarter, an increase from 68% in the previous quarter.
-- Announced a multi-year contract with AT&T to support the launch and ongoing operational support of the Apple iPhone(TM). Synchronoss manages and provisions the activation of the iPhone through its ConvergenceNow(TM) software platform, providing an innovative customer experience that streamlines the traditional activation process.
-- Business outside of the AT&T relationship, which is primarily driven by customers targeting the voice-over-IP market, generated approximately $6.0 million in revenue during the second quarter. This represented 19% of total revenue, a decrease from 32% in the previous quarter due primarily to the material increase in growth associated with AT&T-related revenue.
-- Announced that scalability testing of its ConvergenceNow(TM) platform reached volumes of 65 times the average of its previous performance. The system scaled to record transactions per node for the ConvergenceNow platform with near linear scalability across sample clusters.
-- Announced that Donnie Moore joined the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Moore previously served as Senior Vice President, Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer at Cognos Incorporated from 1989 until his retirement in 2001, and as Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer at Cognos from 1986 to 1989.

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 operating income, net income, effective tax rate, and earnings per share. 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's ongoing operational performance.
