IPASS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

REDWOOD SHORES, CALIF., MAY 8, 2013 - iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), the global Wi-Fi roaming leader for enterprises and telecom service providers, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

“We are pleased to see that for the eighth sequential quarter, iPass has grown Open Mobile revenue at a rapid pace, OM revenue has now surpassed 50% of total Mobility revenue, and most importantly Wi-Fi revenue is growing again after five years of systematic decline,” said Evan Kaplan, president and chief executive officer of iPass. “Now more than ever, I believe it is abundantly clear that the utility of our Open Mobile platform, coupled with the adoption of OM on smartphones and tablets, and the expansion of our global Wi-Fi footprint is a very strong engine for growth and we are confident this is sustainable.”

KEY OPERATING METRICS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

iPass continues to grow Open Mobile (OM) revenue by driving growth in users, Wi-Fi usage, and customers with improving penetration on smartphone and tablet devices.

The following key operating metrics highlight the progress that the company has made in Q1 2013 with the Open Mobile business.

Open Mobile Revenue Growth:

 

   

Grew Open Mobile revenue by $1.4 million or 15% sequentially, to $10.5 million in Q1 2013, representing over 50% of total Mobility Services revenue, up from 43% in Q4 2012. OM revenue grew 150% in the first quarter over the same quarter in 2012, continuing the strong growth pattern that resulted in growing OM revenue from $8.9 million in fiscal 2011 to $27.0 million in 2012, and now to $10.5 million in Q1 2013.

 

   

Delivered the eighth sequential quarter of growth in total Open Mobile revenue and Open Mobile Wi-Fi network revenue. OM Wi-Fi network revenue grew by $1.0 million or 25% sequentially, and approximately 250% over Q1 2012.

 

   

Increased total Wi-Fi sessions by 14% and Wi-Fi usage hours by 12% over Q4 2012. Sessions and hours growth directly correlate with the improving penetration of OM on smartphones and tablets, and the overall higher Wi-Fi consumption rates of the growing OM user base.

Open Mobile User Growth:

 

   

Grew Open Mobile Wi-Fi network users as a percentage of total Wi-Fi network users from 49% for the month of December 2012 to 56% for the month of March 2013. For the first time since launching the OM platform, OM Wi-Fi network users now exceed legacy Wi-Fi network users. Year over year, the number of OM Wi-Fi network users was 50,000 in March 2013 compared to 15,000 in March 2012, a 230% increase.

 

   

Nearly doubled the number of Open Mobile smartphone and tablet Wi-Fi network users in March 2013 compared to December 2012. In addition, OM smartphone and tablet Wi-Fi network users continue to represent a growing component of total OM Wi-Fi network users, 27% of users for the month of March 2013, up from 24% for the month of December 2012.

 

   

Grew Open Mobile platform active monetized users by 24% from 380,000 users for the month of December 2012 to 470,000 users for the month of March 2013, representing 66% of total active monetized users as the company exited the first quarter. Year over year, OM platform active monetized users increased approximately 250%.

Cautionary Information About Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release regarding iPass’ expectations and belief that it is abundantly clear that the utility of the Open Mobile platform, coupled with the adoption of OM on smartphones and tablets, and the expansion of iPass’ global Wi-Fi footprint is a very strong engine for growth, iPass’ confidence that this growth is sustainable, and iPass’ projections of its second quarter 2013 financial results under the caption “Q2 2013 Guidance” are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the expectations contained in these statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the following: the risk that the “End of Life” of iPass’ legacy Mobile Office product may negatively impact customer retention and mobility revenues; the risk that the Open Mobile platform and Open Mobile Exchange will not achieve the market acceptance iPass expects; the risk that iPass customers and partners may not be willing to agree to minimum purchase and resale commitments at the rate iPass expects; the risk of material reductions in iPass customers’ existing minimum commitments more than iPass currently expects; the risk that iPass carrier and channel partners do not successfully market iPass services to their customers; the risk that iPass does not accurately predict usage for its Enterprise Flat Rate price plan which could result in iPass expenses exceeding revenues for these plans; the risk that iPass customers do not widely deploy iPass Open Mobile on smartphones, tablets and other mobile handheld devices; the risk that demand for Mobility Services does not grow as iPass expects; the risk

that strong competition in the market for Mobility Services and iPass Unity Network Services could reduce demand for iPass’ services; the risk that iPass fails to address market requirements, evolving standards and technological changes in the mobility services industry, which could reduce demand for iPass’ services; and the risk that a meaningful portion of iPass business is international, which subjects iPass to additional risks such as currency fluctuations. Detailed information about these and other risk factors that could potentially affect iPass’ business, financial condition and results of operations are included in iPass’ Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2013, and available at the SEC’s Web site at www.sec.gov and the company’s website at http://investor.ipass.com. iPass undertakes no responsibility to update the information in this press release if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be an inaccurate prediction of the actual results.

In addition, investors and others should note that iPass announces material financial information to its investors using its investor relations website, SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. iPass also uses social media to communicate with its customers and the public about iPass, its products and services and other matters relating to its business and market. It is possible that the information iPass posts on social media could be deemed to be material information. Therefore, iPass encourages investors, the media, and others interested in iPass to review the information it posts on the U.S. social media channels including the iPass Twitter Feed, the iPass LinkedIn Feed, the iPass Google+ Feed, the iPass Facebook Page, the iPass Blog, and Evan Kaplan’s Twitter Feed. These social media channels may be updated from time to time.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release also contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). iPass considers Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of the company’s performance that is not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and certain state sales and federal tax charges. The company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful comparison between its core operating results, on a consistent basis, over different periods of time. Accordingly, management uses this financial measure for evaluating and making operating decisions and for purposes of comparison with its strategic plan, operating budgets and allocation of resources.

Furthermore, iPass believes the use of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors:

 

  1) To provide an additional analytical tool for understanding the company’s financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business;

 

  2) To provide consistency and enhance investors’ ability to compare the company’s performance across financial reporting periods; and

 

5


  3) To facilitate comparisons to the operating results of other companies in the company’s industry, which may use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to net income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of the company’s liquidity.
