“During the third quarter, Synchronoss passed the $600 million annualized revenue run rate, and did so while delivering 21% top line growth and a non-GAAP operating margin of 29%,” said Stephen G. Waldis, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Synchronoss. “We are excited about the growth opportunities ahead of us.  Adoption of our cloud and activation platforms continues to grow globally, and we recently introduced powerful new predicative analytic capabilities.  In addition, we have significantly expanded our addressable market with the launch of our enterprise business and the Synchronoss Secure Mobility Suite.”

 

On a GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported net revenues of $150.9 million, representing an increase of 21% compared to the third quarter of 2014.  Gross profit was $87.4 million and income from operations was $22.3 million.  Net income was $9.6 million, leading to diluted earnings per share of $0.21, compared to $0.22 for the third quarter of 2014.

 

On a non-GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported net revenues, which adds back the purchase accounting adjustment related to revenues for certain acquisitions, of $151.3 million, an increase of 21% compared to the third quarter of 2014.  Gross profit was $92.1 million, representing a gross margin of 61%.  Income from operations was $43.2 million representing a year-over-year increase of 36% and an operating margin of 29%.  Net income was $27.1 million, up from $20.0 million in the year ago period.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.58, compared to $0.46 for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 26% compared to the third quarter of 2014.

 

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

 

“We are pleased with our third quarter financial results that were highlighted by ongoing strong margin performance and increased earnings,” said Karen L. Rosenberger, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.  “We are confident that our strategic customer relationships, combined with our growth investments and expansion into new market opportunities, position us well to scale Synchronoss to the next level and generate greater shareholder value over time.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Synchronoss has provided in this release selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes historical non-GAAP revenues, gross profit, operating income, net income, effective tax rate, earnings per share and cash flows from operating activities. Synchronoss uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Synchronoss’ ongoing operational performance. Synchronoss believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Synchronoss’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above add back the deferred revenue write-down associated with acquisitions, fair value stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs which includes integration costs, changes in the contingent consideration obligation, deferred compensation expense related to earn outs and amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed above. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
