Limelight Networks(R) Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results

TEMPE, Ariz., Aug. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:LLNW, news, filings) (“Limelight”) today reported second quarter 2011 financial results.

“We were pleased with our progress in the quarter on our strategic initiatives of growing Limelight’s value-added services, which are now 40% of overall revenue. We believe growing this portion of our business, which is comprised primarily of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, will help improve our overall visibility, deepen relationships with customers, and create sustainable value over the long-term,” said Jeff Lunsford, chairman and chief executive officer. “Revenue in the quarter, however, was approximately $2 million below our forecast due to lower-than-expected campaign volume on our EyeWonder rich media advertising platform and a dip in CDN traffic for two of our largest customers during a widely followed platform shutdown after a security breach of a third party’s network.”

“We are taking steps to reinstate growth in our rich media business with new products due out early next year, and we have seen traffic for the two CDN customers return to normal levels. Looking forward, we are making solid progress in transforming Limelight from a pure-play content delivery network (CDN) to a provider of value-added SaaS solutions that run on top of a market-leading CDN,” continued Lunsford.

Specific highlights for the second quarter included:

  • Revenue of $50.5 million, representing 20% year-over-year growth
  • Value added services comprised 40% of revenue:
    • Mobile internet and tablet computing revenue growth of approximately 150% year-over-year
    • Online video platform growth of approximately 200% year-over-year
    • Site and application acceleration services growth of approximately 40% year-over-year
    • Enterprise cloud storage growth of approximately 60% year-over-year

Financial Highlights

For the second quarter of 2011, the Company reported revenue of $50.5 million, adjusted EBITDA of $2.6 million and non-GAAP net loss, before share-based compensation, litigation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and acquisition-related expenses, of $5.9 million or 5 cents per basic share. GAAP net loss was $13.9 million, or 12 cents per basic share.

Capital investments were $11.9 million in the quarter. The Company ended the quarter with no bank debt and approximately $116 million in cash and short-term marketable securities.

2011 Outlook

The Company anticipates third quarter revenue to be in the range of $51.7 to $53.2 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate our business, we consider and use Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA 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, amortization of intangibles 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 and, 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 Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for operational expenses that we do not consider reflective of our ongoing operations. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA 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 Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or United States GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with United States GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with United States GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
  • 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 Adjusted EBITDA 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 Adjusted EBITDA 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 Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:
