LIONBRIDGE REPORTS Q3 RESULTS WITH REVENUE OF $120.2 MILLION, GAAP EPS OF $0.06 AND NON-GAAP EPS OF $0.11

Offsets Decline from Top Client with Revenue Momentum across Offerings and Verticals;
Announces Agreement to Acquire Translation Solutions Company with $85 Million of Recurring Revenue in Financial and Industrial Markets
WALTHAM, Mass.  November�10, 2014 - Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX), today announced revenue and earnings for the third quarter ended September�30, 2014.
Financial highlights for the third quarter include:
"
Revenue of $120.2 million, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 4% compared to the third quarter of 2013. Revenue grew 6% year-on-year excluding revenue from the Company's largest client.
"
GAAP net income of $3.6 million, or $0.06 per share, based on 62.6 million weighted average fully diluted common shares outstanding. This compares to GAAP net income of $5.0 million, or $0.08 per share, in Q3 2013.
"
Non-GAAP adjusted earnings of $7.1 million or $0.11 per share. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted earnings as net income excluding merger, restructuring and acquisition-related charges, asset impairment costs, stock-based compensation, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Please see the section of this release entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures and the attached table for details and reconciliations of this measure to the comparable GAAP measure.
"
Cash flow from operations of $6.4 million.
"
During the quarter, the Company acquired 377,358 shares of its common stock�under its share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million.�
The Company secured several significant new customer engagements in the quarter, including relationships with a leading manufacturer of interactive pen tablets and displays, a multi-billion dollar company that provides connectivity and sensor solutions and a global personal technology company.

For the nine months ended September�30, 2014 revenue increased $9.2 million year-on-year and GAAP net income increased $3.8 million as compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Separately, the Company announced the acquisition of CLS Communication, a market-leader in translation solutions to clients in the financial services, industrial and public sector end markets. Lionbridge expects to purchase CLS Communication for approximately 74 million Swiss Francs, or approximately $77 million US Dollars in cash, subject to estimated cash and debt adjustments at closing and certain post-closing adjustments. The acquisition is being funded using Lionbridges existing cash and a new credit facility through its long-standing banking partner, HSBC, who is acting as the leading syndicator.�Lionbridge expects to close the transaction in early 2015.

While spending reduction from our largest client was greater than expected in the quarter, it appears revenue levels at that account have stabilized and business is firming. Despite this headwind, we continued to scale our new offerings, diversify our revenue with clients across multiple end markets expand our margins sequentially and generate strong cash flow, said Rory Cowan, CEO of Lionbridge. With our recent sole-source agreement with a large pharma company, our strong pace of new business wins and ongoing growth with other large accounts, we expect organic revenue, earnings and cash flow growth in 2015 as well as strong revenue and earnings contribution from our planned acquisition of CLS.
Lionbridge provided an outlook for Q4 of 2014 with estimated revenue of $120-123�million.
Lionbridge management will conduct a conference call at 9:00 a.m. ET this morning to discuss financial performance for the quarter, the CLS acquisition and other matters, including matters related to its future performance. To participate, callers within the United States can dial 800-779-6841 and international callers can dial 630-395-0427. The pass code for the call is Lionbridge. The conference call will also be available live via this link.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, the Companys adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share 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. These measures are presented because management believes they provide additional information to investors with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities. Adjusted earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Share (EPS) are Non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for these measures are net income and diluted net income per share and has provided a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share at the end of this release.
