Glowpoint Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

MURRAY HILL, N.J., May 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Glowpoint, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GLOW), a leading global provider of cloud managed video services, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2012.

First quarter revenues for cloud managed video services ("Managed Services Combined" as reported) were $3.3 million, an increase of 5% over the same period last year.  Managed Services Combined represents 49% of total revenues in the quarter, up from 45% in the prior year period. Network services revenues for the quarter were $3.1 million, a decrease of 11% over the same period last year. One-time and event-based revenues ("Professional and other services" as reported) were $309,000 for the quarter, compared to $333,000 in the same period last year.

"We see a strong sales pipeline for our suite of cloud managed video services, although elongated sales cycles and soft channel sales have caused slower growth in this period," said Joe Laezza, Glowpoint's president and CEO. "Various vendors in the video communications space are bringing new endpoint solutions to the market, which is causing some delay in enterprise implementations.

"Deal activity has been picking up, and we are well positioned with our cloud based OpenVideo® solution as the leading network-neutral and vendor-agnostic solution. We are in the final stages of closing new significant customer contracts that should positively impact growth levels in the second half of the year," added Laezza.

"The network services component of our business has performed as anticipated given the technology trend towards converged networks.  It remains a stable component of our product offerings for customers that require connectivity to our OpenVideo® cloud," commented Laezza.

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled to GAAP) for the first quarter was $717,000, an increase of $293,000 or 69% over the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11% compared to 6% in the same period last year. Net income for the first quarter was $172,000, an increase of $140,000 over the same period last year.

"Adjusted EBITDA progression continues due to prudent cost controls and the inherent operating leverage in our business model. We have delivered six consecutive quarters of positive Adjusted EBITDA while at the same time aggressively investing in sales and marketing. We will continue to grow our sales force and invest in marketing activities to address the demand for cloud managed video services and are confident that we can achieve sales growth and meet our long term objective of a 20% EBITDA margin," stated Laezza.

Key Business Metrics

• Number of managed telepresence and video conferencing rooms increased 47% to 1,229 for the first quarter as compared with the same period a year ago.
• Number of managed conferences increased 46% to 18,987 for the first quarter as compared with the same period a year ago.
• Number of certified enterprise video systems on OpenVideo® increased 14% to 45,215 for the first quarter as compared with the same period a year ago.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income, sales taxes and regulatory fee expense or benefit, stock-based compensation, and severance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace operating income, net income, cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Rather, Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the company. Adjusted EBITDA as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA as defined here does not have the same meaning as EBITDA as defined in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings prior to this date. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income from continuing operations is shown below.
