WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lionbridge Technologies,
Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX) today announced financial results for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006. Financial and business highlights for the quarter
include:
- Revenue of $108.0 million, an increase of $49.5 million from the quarter
ended September 30, 2005.
- GAAP net loss of $933,000, or ($0.02) per share based on 59.1 million
weighted average common shares outstanding. This compares to a GAAP net
loss of $2.4 million, or ($0.05) per share in the third quarter of 2005.
GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2006 includes $2.1 million of
restructuring and integration costs related to the Company's acquisition
of BGS and the closure of one of its Global Development and Testing
(GDT) European production centers. GAAP net loss also includes $994,000
of stock-based compensation expense related to the adoption of FAS 123
R.
- Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $2.1 million or $0.03 per share,
excluding restructuring and integration costs and excluding stock-based
compensation expense related to the adoption of FAS 123 R. (See the
section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the
attached table for discussion of adjusted net income and reconciliation
of this measure to the comparable GAAP measure).
- Lionbridge repaid $9.5 million of its long term debt in the quarter,
resulting in an ending cash balance of $21.9 million. For the first
nine months of 2006, Lionbridge has repaid $14.3 million of its
long-term debt, reducing the Company's total long term debt balance to
$76.5 million.
- Cash flow from operations of approximately $2.0 million during the
quarter.
- The Company added more than 40 customers to its Freeway language
management platform during the quarter and continued to scale its
Logoport web based translation memory system.
- During the quarter the Company initiated its project management and
general ledger systems migration, as previously disclosed. While this
systems deployment negatively impacted productivity and gross margins
during the quarter, the Company expects that this migration will
simplify and automate processes while continuing to ensure an
appropriate and conservative policy for recognizing revenue.
For the first nine months of 2006, the Company delivered revenue of $317.6
million, an increase of $179.0 million from the same period of 2005. Non-GAAP
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was
$22.4 million for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $19.3 million
from the first nine months of 2005. (See the section of this release entitled
"Non- GAAP Financial Measures" and the attached table for discussion of EBITDA
and reconciliation of this measure to the comparable GAAP measure)
"We have continued to scale our Freeway language management technology and
offshore model. During Q3 we initiated the final step in the integration of
Lionbridge and BGS; the migration of our operational project management
systems. While the initial phase of this migration caused some productivity
drain during the quarter, we expect our new systems and processes to drive
added efficiencies throughout 2007," said Rory Cowan, CEO, Lionbridge. "We
have secured large scale engagements with both new and existing customers. We
have completed the final transformation of our GDT business to a fully enabled
offshore model. And our end market demand is firm. All of these factors point
to solid top line growth and margin expansion in 2007."
The Company provided an overview of its revenue expectations for the
fourth quarter with estimated revenue of $100.0 to $104.0 million, reflecting
the Company's traditional Q4 seasonality.
The Company will host a conference call today at 9:00 am ET regarding the
content of this release and its business outlook. The conference call will be
carried live on the Internet. Instructions for listening to the call over the
Internet are available on the Investor's page of the Lionbridge web site at
http://www.lionbridge.com/webcast/nov3/ . A replay will be available at this
location for one week.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, the Company's EBITDA and adjusted net income disclosures
are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of
results of operations or cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA
represents GAAP earnings excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization expenses. Adjusted net income represents GAAP earnings excluding
restructuring and integration costs and excluding stock-based compensation
expense related to the adoption of FAS 123 R. Adjusted net income and EBITDA
are presented because management believes these numbers provide additional
information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business
activities as well as the Company's ability to meet future debt service and
working capital requirements. Management believes the adjusted net income and
EBITDA information are useful to investors for these reasons. EBITDA and
adjusted net income are each a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be
viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial
measure is net income (loss) and has provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and
adjusted net income to the Company's GAAP net income (loss) on the last page
of this press release.
