Synchronoss Technologies Announces Second Quarter 2019 Results

August 5, 2019 4:01 PM

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synchronoss Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SNCR), a global leader and innovator in cloud, messaging, digital and IoT platforms and products, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Second quarter highlights:

Glenn Lurie, president and chief executive officer, stated, “The second quarter results demonstrate continued progress for Synchronoss. We have now delivered four consecutive quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA, combined with year over year growth in both revenue and EBITDA, enabled by our ongoing focus on meeting customer needs and cost containment. Revenue increased 1.4 percent from the comparable quarter in 2018, and down compared to Q1 2019 as expected, due to seasonality, the large messaging license we recorded during the first quarter, and other items. I’m very pleased with our momentum on the new business development front, as we expanded on our success in 2019 with a new deal for our Out-Of-The-Box Experience (OOBE) platform with AT&T, one of the leading global carriers; a new agreement with Wireless Advocates and Telkom Indonesia for our DXP platform; new IoT partnerships with Arrow Electronics and Tridium, and a Smart Buildings deployments with Rackspace, in partnership with Microsoft and their Azure Cloud Service. Between the deals we have announced in the first quarter of 2019 and those that are in our pipeline and expected to close in the second half, we believe we can deliver accelerating revenue growth through the balance of 2019 and continued improvement into 2020.”

David Clark, chief financial officer, added, ”We continue to deliver on our commitment to investors, and financial metrics continue to improve materially for Synchronoss, as demonstrated by the second quarter results. Adjusted EBITDA was $ 8.7 million, a significant improvement from break-even adjusted EBITDA in last year’s second quarter. This was in turn driven by a 15.4 percent improvement in adjusted gross margins, and a 32 percent or $10.9 million reduction in selling, general, and administrative expense, compared to last year’s second quarter. At quarter end, Synchronoss had $78.9 million of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, giving the company ample liquidity to fund ongoing operations and repay the remaining $47 million balance on its convertible debt when it matures in August.”

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 included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

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 (loss), net income (loss), effective tax rate, earnings (loss) 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 fair value stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs which includes integration costs, restructuring and cease-use lease expense, 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.
