– Record revenue of $42.2 million
– Continued expansion of value-added services, now 28% of revenue:
– Mobile revenue growth exceeded 40% sequentially

“We are pleased with Limelight Networks’ second quarter results. We have designed and deployed a globally distributed, high-performance computing platform which supports an exciting and growing content delivery business. We have built and acquired, and are now offering innovative solutions that run on this platform and address multiple complementary growth sectors. These solutions position Limelight Networks to benefit from three undeniable macro trends that we believe will fuel our growth for the foreseeable future — the shift of content consumption and advertising dollars online, explosive growth of mobile devices and mobile content consumption, and the shift of software applications and other IT services into the cloud,” said Jeff Lunsford, chairman and chief executive officer.

For the second quarter of 2010, the company reported revenue of $42.2 million, up 31 percent from second quarter 2009 and up 17 percent sequentially.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate our business, we consider and use Non-GAAP net income (loss) and EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses as a supplemental measure of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be an important indicator of overall business performance because it allows us to illustrate the impact of the effects of share-based compensation, litigation expenses, provision for litigation, amortization of intangible assets, and acquisition related expenses. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, other income and expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses as EBITDA plus expenses that we do not consider reflective of our ongoing operations. We use EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses facilitates investors’ use of operating performance comparisons from period to period. In addition, it should be noted that our performance-based executive officer bonus structure is tied closely to our performance as measured in part by certain non-GAAP financial measures.

The terms Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses are not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

– EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation
costs and acquisition related expenses do not reflect our cash
expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or
contractual commitments;
– they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
capital needs;
– they do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation
costs;
– they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax
payments;
– although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets
being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the
future, and EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation,
litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses do not
reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
– while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the
impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary
significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options
and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
– other companies may calculate EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for
share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition
related expenses differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as
comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Non-GAAP Net Income (loss) and EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP Net Income (loss), EBITDA and EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation, litigation and damage costs and acquisition related expenses are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
