Support.com Reports Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results
 
REDWOOD CITY, CA – July 31, 2013 - Support.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPRT), a leading provider of cloud-based technology services and software, today reported unaudited financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
 
Q2 2013 Financial Summary
 
For the second quarter of 2013, total revenue was $20.1 million compared to $17.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2013.
 
On a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2013 was $2.6 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to a loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.05) per share, in the second quarter of 2012 and income of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2013.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2013 was $3.8 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a loss of $897,000, or $(0.02) per share, in the second quarter of 2012 and income of $3.1 million, or $0.06 per share, in the first quarter of 2013.

Statements made in this document that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" and accordingly involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein. Forward-looking statements include, for example, all statements relating to projected financial performance (including without limitation statements involving projections of revenue, margin, income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, cash usage or generation, capital structure, and other financial items); the plans and objectives of management for future operations, partnerships, customers, products, services or investments; personnel matters; ability to complete contracts for anticipated expansion programs; and future performance in economic and other terms.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Support.com has excluded stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and other, restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition expense, other non-recurring items and tax expense associated with acquired goodwill from its GAAP results in order to determine the non-GAAP financial measures of income (loss) from continuing operations and income (loss) from continuing operations per share referenced in this document. We believe that the non-GAAP measures, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, assist investors in understanding our results of operations.
 
A. Stock-based compensation expense. Management excludes stock-based compensation expense when evaluating its operating performance because such expense does not require cash settlement and because such expense is not used by management to assess the performance of the Company's business. Stock-based compensation expense was $768,000 in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $796,000 in the first quarter of 2013.
 
B. Amortization of intangible assets and other. Management excludes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and related charges when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle and excluding such charges enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Management also excludes such charges because they represent non-cash expenses. Amortization of intangible assets and other was $335,000 in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $391,000 in the second quarter of 2012 and $335,000 in the first quarter of 2013.
 
C. Restructuring and impairment charges. Management excludes restructuring and impairment charges when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not undertake restructurings on a predicable basis and excluding such charges enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Restructuring and impairment charges were zero in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $172,000 in the second quarter of 2012 and zero in the first quarter of 2013.
 
D. Acquisition expense. Management excludes acquisition expense such as legal fees and advisor fees when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle and excluding such expense enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Acquisition expense was zero in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $16,000 in the second quarter of 2012 and zero in the first quarter of 2013.
 
E. Other non-recurring items. Management excludes non-recurring items, which generally do not require cash settlement, when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not incur such expenses or obtain such benefits on a predictable basis and exclusion of such expenses or benefits enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Other non-recurring items resulted in no expenses or benefits in the second quarter of 2013, expense of $57,000 in the second quarter of 2012, and no expenses or benefits in the first quarter of 2013.
 
F. Tax expense associated with acquired goodwill. The Company is required to record a deferred tax liability and the related tax expense that results from the amortization for income tax purposes of acquired goodwill. Management excludes tax expense associated with acquired goodwill when evaluating its operating performance because the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle and excluding such expense enables more consistent evaluation of the Company's operating performance. Tax expense associated with acquired goodwill was $82,000 in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $68,000 in the second quarter of 2012 and $73,000 in the first quarter of 2013.
 
The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have significant limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's financial results in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. In addition, the exclusion of the items indicated above from the non-GAAP financial measures presented does not indicate an expectation by management that such items will not be incurred in subsequent periods.

The adjustments above reconcile the Company’s GAAP financial results to the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and other, restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition expense, other non-recurring items and tax expense associated with acquired goodwill. The Company believes that presentation of these non-GAAP items provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, when viewed in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the Company’s GAAP results. However, the non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures.  See the text of this press release for more information on non-GAAP financial measures.

Amounts are subject to completion of management’s and its independent registered public accounting firm's customary closing and review procedures.
