Support.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPRT), a leading provider of tech support and turnkey support center services, producer of SUPERAntiSpyware® anti-malware products, and the maker of Support.com® software, today reported unaudited financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017.
“We are excited to record an operating profit in the third quarter of 2017, which reflects revenue growth from several of our key customers combined with our continued focus on reducing operating costs,” said Rick Bloom, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the company.
Mr. Bloom continued, “This return to profitability was achieved despite some significant headwinds experienced during the quarter, including the impact of hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the winding down of our business with Office Depot, the additional recruiting and training costs incurred to support the future growth of the company, and the one-off costs associated with our cost reduction efforts.”
“While we remain focused on fiscal discipline, we will continue driving growth opportunities afforded by our unique combination of highly-skilled tech support agents and market-leading Support.com software offerings. These enable us to provide high quality customer support in a very cost efficient manner,” shared Mr. Bloom. “Our focus on growth is expected to lead to higher recruiting and training costs as we grow with our existing and new customers. This may adversely impact profitability over the next few quarters but is expected to boost longer term profits and cash flow.”
Q3 2017 Financial Summary
For the third quarter of 2017, total revenue was $15.0 million, up 3.6 percent compared to revenues of $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 and down 3.2 percent compared to revenues of $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2016.
On a GAAP basis, we recorded income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2017 of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss of $(2.1) million, or $(0.12) per share, in the third quarter of 2016 and a loss of $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) per share, in the second quarter of 2017.
On a non-GAAP basis, we recorded income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2017 of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a loss of $(1.2) million, or $(0.07) per share, in the third quarter of 2016 and income of $0.02 million, or $0.00 per share, in the second quarter of 2017. Key changes in our non-GAAP income from continuing operations included the following:
Non-GAAP income/(loss) from continuing operations excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and restructuring charges. Collectively, these items impacted income/(loss) from continuing operations by $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, and $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is presented in the tables below.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbors created by such laws. Forward-looking statements include, for example, all statements relating to expected financial performance (including without limitation statements involving growth and projections of revenue, margin, profitability, income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) per share from continuing operations, cash usage or generation, cash balance as of any future date, capital structure and other financial items); the plans and objectives of management for future operations, customer relationships, products, services or investments; personnel matters; and future performance in economic and other terms. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of uncertainties and risks that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including, among others, our ability to retain and grow major programs, our ability to expand and diversify our customer base, our ability to market and sell our Support.com Cloud (formerly “Nexus®”) software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, our ability to maintain and grow revenue, our ability to successfully develop new products and services, our ability to manage our workforce, our ability to operate in markets that are subject to extensive regulations, such as support for home security systems, our ability to control expenses and achieve desired margins, our dependence on a small number of customers and partners, our ability to attract, train and retain talented employees, potential intellectual property, class action or other litigation, our ability to utilize and realize the value of our net operating loss carryforwards and how they could be substantially limited or permanently impaired, given our current market capitalization and cash position, our ability to execute the cost reduction program involving the planned actions on the expected schedule, our ability to achieve the cost savings expected in connection with the cost reduction plan, the ultimate effect of any such cost reductions on our financial results, and our ability to manage the effects of the cost reduction plan on our workforce and other operations. These and other risks may be detailed from time to time in Support.com’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, its latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and its latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained from www.sec.gov.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Support.com excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and other, and restructuring charges from its GAAP results, in order to determine the non-GAAP financial measures of income (loss) from continuing operations and income (loss) from continuing operations per share, as described in A through C below. We believe that the non-GAAP measures, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, assist investors in understanding our results of operations.
A. Stock-based compensation expense. Management excludes stock-based compensation expense when evaluating its performance from period to period because such expenses do not require cash settlement and because such expenses are not used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business. Stock-based compensation expense was $28,000 in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $661,000 in the third quarter of 2016 and $176,000 in the second quarter of 2017.
B. Amortization of intangible assets and other. The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle; therefore, management excludes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and related charges when evaluating its operating performance. Amortization of intangible assets and other was zero in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $267,000 in the third quarter of 2016 and $6,000 in the second quarter of 2017.
C. Restructuring charges. Management excludes restructuring charges when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not incur such charges on a predictable basis and exclusion of such charges enables more consistent evaluation of the Company’s operating performance. Restructuring charges were $128,000 in the third quarter of 2017 and zero in the third quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2017.
The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures have significant limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. In addition, the exclusion of the items indicated above from the non-GAAP financial measures presented does not indicate an expectation by management that such items will not be incurred in subsequent periods.

The Company believes that presentation of these non-GAAP items provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, when viewed in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the Company’s GAAP results. However, the non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. See the text of this press release for more information on non-GAAP financial measures. 2017 amounts are subject to completion of management’s customary closing and review procedures.
