Announces Fiscal Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Record Revenue, Record Gross Profit, Record
Cash Flows from Operations, and Adjusted EBITDA

NORCROSS, GA, March 14, 2011 - (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - EasyLink Services International Corporation ("EasyLink" or "Company") (NasdaqCM: ESIC, www.easylink.com), a global provider of comprehensive messaging services and e-commerce solutions, reported record fiscal second quarter 2011 revenue of $47.4 million, up 132% from the second quarter of fiscal 2010; record gross profit of $29.9 million, up 103% from the second quarter of fiscal 2010, record cash flow from six months of operations of $12.9 million, up 63% from the second quarter of fiscal 2010, and record adjusted EBITDA of $12.1 million, up 128% from the second quarter of fiscal 2010.  These results include the effects of the acquisition of the Xpedite business, which took place in October 2010.

“We have entered a new era for EasyLink stakeholders that is rooted in our global leadership in cloud-based enterprise messaging, our expanded product portfolio, organizational scale, and international footprint,” said Tom Stallings, CEO of EasyLink.  “Most notable to EasyLink’s stockholders, this new era is marked by an expanding opportunity pipeline and record financial results:

 
·
Record second quarter revenues of $47.4 million;

 
·
Record second quarter gross profit of $29.9 million;

 
·
Highest cash flow from six months of operations of $12.9 million;

 
·
Record adjusted EBITDA of $12.1 million.”

Financial Review

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $47.4 million compared to $20.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.  Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $29.9 million compared to $14.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

On Demand Messaging revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, which includes fax, production messaging, document capture and management, e-mail services, and notifications services, was approximately $37.9 million compared to approximately $10.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.  On Demand Messaging revenue includes all of the revenue from our recent acquisition of the Xpedite companies.  On Demand Messaging represented approximately 80% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
 
 

 

Supply Chain Messaging revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, which includes electronic data interchange (“EDI”) products and services and telex, was approximately $9.5 million compared to approximately $10.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.  Supply Chain Messaging revenue decreased on a year-over-year basis primarily as the result of declining telex revenue. This trend is expected to continue the foreseeable future. Supply Chain Messaging revenue represented approximately 20% of total revenue in the second quarter.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $2.9 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share compared to approximately $1.3 million, or $0.04 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.  Non-GAAP net income ex-items was $5.5 million, or $0.19 per adjusted basic share and $0.17 per diluted share compared to approximately $1.9 million, or $0.07 per adjusted basic and dilutive share in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Please see the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this release for details.

Adjusted EBITDA, which includes non-cash compensation expense and acquisition and integration related charges, was approximately $12.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to approximately $5.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Our cash and cash equivalents at January 31, 2011 totaled $21.2 million.
 
Non-GAAP Presentation
 
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 8-K earnings release filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the second fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011.
 
In addition, these non-GAAP measures: (i) are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles; and (ii) have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with EasyLink's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these measures should only be used to evaluate EasyLink’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
 
EasyLink believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business.
 
EasyLink believes that these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results between periods and among our peer companies. However, our peer companies may calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures differently than EasyLink, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
