FalconStor Software Announces Second Quarter 2014 Results

MELVILLE, N.Y., July 30, 2014—FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), a market leader in data protection and migration, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

“Over the past twelve months, the FalconStor team has achieved many milestones and built solid momentum,” said Gary Quinn, President and CEO of FalconStor. “In Q2, we launched a bold new brand identity -- The Power to be Free -- that reflects the unique customer-focus of our products. We produced exciting and innovative new technology for the cloud and flash memory environments -- with more to come. We stabilized our customer base, partners and employees for the future.  Finally, we created and returned stockholder value by moving on from some past events that have no bearing on our future.  Our team still has more work in the area of generating top-line revenue growth. We have an opportunity to grow as business and data overload continue to accelerate.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company’s management refers to these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results. We include these non-GAAP financial measures (which should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, their comparable GAAP measures) in this press release because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency into the supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude (i) costs associated with the Company’s class action and derivative lawsuits, government investigations, and related legal fees, (ii) restructuring costs, (iii) effects of our Series A Preferred Stock and (iv) noncash stock-based compensation charges and any potential tax effects. For a reconciliation of our GAAP and non-GAAP financial results, please refer to our Non-GAAP Operating Data GAAP Reconciliation, presented in this release.
