SALT LAKE CITY, May 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZAGG Inc (Nasdaq:ZAGG), a leading mobile device accessories company, announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
“Both our top and bottom line were stronger than expected for the quarter, a reflection of the hard work and focused effort by the entire organization. Tablet sales grew 13% this quarter compared to the first quarter of 2013 and the invisibleSHIELD Glass launch exceeded our expectations. This is the seventh consecutive quarter we generated cash from operations, and we used our funds to repurchase stock, and reduce our bank line balance to zero,” said Randy Hales, president and CEO. “Inventory decreased by 12% in what is typically our slowest quarter, and we began transitioning our distribution to RR Donnelley. Now with a new EVP of Sales on board, we have the team in place to launch outstanding products, strengthen our brands, expand distribution and return our company to growth this year.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Information
ZAGG considers earnings before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, other income/expense, and provision for income taxes ("Adjusted EBITDA") to be an important financial indicator of the Company's operational strength and the performance of its business.
In addition, ZAGG considers earnings before stock-based compensation expense, amortization, and other income/expense (excluding cash interest expense), net of tax effects where applicable, (“pro forma net income”) to be a valuable metric in respect of the operational performance of the Company.
These results should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
A reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net income, and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is presented under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included below.
Outlook
The Company reiterates its full year 2014 guidance of net sales of $218.0 million - $228.0 million and full year Adjusted EBITDA of $32.0 million - $34.0 million. Gross margins are anticipated to be in the mid-to-high 30’s.
Conference Call
A conference call will be held today at 5:00 p.m. EST to review these results. Interested parties may access via the Internet on the Company’s website at:

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Investors are cautioned that the Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, other income/expense, and provision for income taxes) and pro forma net income (earnings before stock-based compensation expense, amortization, and other income/expense [excluding cash interest expense], net of tax effects where applicable) contained in this press release are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, they should not be construed as alternatives to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. For comparative purposes, we applied an annualized statutory tax rate of 38.25% to derive the pro forma net income and pro forma EPS. We present this financial information because we believe that it is helpful to some investors as a measure of our performance. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
