Syniverse Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SVR), a leading provider of technology and business solutions for the global telecommunications industry, today reported results for second quarter 2010.

“Key drivers propelling performance during the reporting period included the increasing use of mobile data and the growing popularity of mobile messaging for personal and business communications,” said Tony Holcombe, President and CEO. “Strong organic growth fueled by sales to new and existing customers, plus a renewal rate of 99%, led us to increase full-year guidance to reflect our market momentum.”

Syniverse cited solid results for the quarter:

  • Total revenue for second quarter 2010 was $158.8 million, a 39.9% increase compared to second quarter 2009.
  • Net revenue, which excludes off-network database queries, was $157.5 million, a 40.9% increase compared to second quarter 2009.
  • Net income was $22.3 million or $0.32 per diluted share, 35.6% and 34.4% increases, respectively, compared to second quarter 2009.
  • Cash net income, a non-GAAP financial measure described below, was $34.0 million or $0.49 per diluted share, 33.7% and 32.0% increases, respectively, compared to second quarter 2009.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure described below, was $66.0 million, a 28.1% increase compared to second quarter 2009.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.3 million in the second quarter 2010, an 18.1% increase compared to second quarter 2009.
  • Operating free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure described below, was $24.8 million in the second quarter 2010, a 29.5% increase compared to second quarter 2009.

David Hitchcock, Executive Vice President and CFO, said the momentum Syniverse saw during the first quarter continued throughout the first half of the year.

“Execution remains strong, and Syniverse continues to generate solid earnings and cash flow,” he said. “As for the integration of our acquired messaging assets, we continue on schedule and expect the process to be substantially completed by year end.”

Please refer to the information set forth at the end of this news release under the headings “Non-GAAP Measures” and “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP” for an explanation of non-GAAP financial measures as well as a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

Second Quarter 2010 Operating Segment Review: Segment revenue and operating income are summarized in the tables included with this press release.

Roaming Services

Roaming revenues were $73.0 million in the quarter, a 14.0% increase compared to second quarter 2009. Revenues were higher due primarily to increased volumes in our roaming clearing house; increases in UniRoam, a service used for interstandard roaming; Signaling Solutions; and Mobile Data Roaming.

Messaging Services

Messaging revenues were $49.3 million compared to $7.9 million in the second quarter 2009. The increase was driven by our messaging acquisition, which contributed $43.1 million of revenue in the quarter.

Network Services

Network revenues, excluding Off-Network Database Queries of $1.3 million, were $31.7 million, a 9.5% decrease from second quarter 2009. This decrease is primarily due to certain customer migrations from our SS7 solutions, partially offset by increases in our IPX transport services.

Outlook

The company is revising guidance and providing the following outlook for 2010:

    Net Revenues   $615 – 635 million Net Income $82 – 89 million Adjusted EBITDA $255 – 265 million Cash Net Income $129 – 135.5 million Operating Free Cash Flow $100 million or greater

Expected Adjusted EBITDA and cash net income have been adjusted to exclude the expected one-time costs in 2010 related to the integration of the messaging business.

Non-GAAP Measures

Syniverse's Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding the following items to net income: interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation, and acquisition-related expenses, including transition and integration costs.

Syniverse's cash net income is calculated by (i) adding the following items to net income: provision for income taxes, non-cash stock compensation, acquisition-related expenses, including transition and integration costs and purchase accounting amortization; (ii) adjusting the resulting pre-tax sum for a provision for income taxes at an assumed long-term tax rate of 37.5%, which excludes the effect of our net operating losses; and (iii) adding to that sum the cash benefit of our tax-deductible goodwill. The cash benefit is a result of the differing treatments of approximately $436 million of goodwill on our balance sheet, which primarily is the result of acquisitions that we made from Verizon in February 2002, IOS North America in September 2004 and VeriSign's mobile messaging business in October 2009. Specifically, while this goodwill is not amortized for GAAP purposes, the amortization of goodwill is, nonetheless, deductible in calculating our taxable income and, hence, reduces actual cash tax liabilities.

Syniverse's operating free cash flow is determined by subtracting capital expenditures from net cash provided by operating activities.

A reconciliation of net income, the closest GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA and cash net income is presented in the financial tables above under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP." A reconciliation of operating free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, the closest GAAP measure, also is presented in the financial tables above under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP."

We present Adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow provide useful information regarding our continuing operating results. We rely on Adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow as primary measures to review and assess the operating performance of our management team in connection with our executive compensation and bonus plans. We also review Adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow to compare our current operating results with corresponding periods and with the operating results of other companies in our industry. In addition, we utilize Adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow as an assessment of our overall liquidity and our ability to meet our debt service obligations.

We present cash net income and the related per-share amount because we believe it provides useful information regarding our operating results in addition to our GAAP measures. We believe that cash net income provides our investors with valuable insight into our profitability exclusive of certain adjustments. In addition, cash net income provides further insight into the cash impact resulting from the different treatments of goodwill for financial reporting and tax purposes. We rely on cash net income as the primary measure of Syniverse's earnings exclusive of these certain non-cash charges.

We believe that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA, operating free cash flow and cash net income is useful to investors as these non-GAAP measures form the basis of how our management team reviews and considers our operating results. By disclosing these non-GAAP measures, we believe that we create for investors a greater understanding of and an enhanced level of transparency into the means by which our management team operates our company. We also believe these measures can assist investors in comparing our performance to that of other companies on a consistent basis without regard to certain items that do not directly affect our ongoing operating performance or cash flows.

Adjusted EBITDA, operating free cash flow and cash net income have limitations as analytical tools and should not be relied upon or considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, such as net income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or other cash flows statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Cash net income also should not be considered as a replacement for, or a measure that should be used or analyzed in lieu of, net income. We attempt to compensate for these limitations by relying primarily upon our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, operating free cash flow and cash net income as supplemental information only.
