INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1, 2016 -- Interactive Intelligence Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global leader of cloud services for customer engagement, communications and collaboration, has announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

“The fourth quarter marked the start of the next chapter in our company’s history, as two dozen organizations are now paying PureCloud customers,” said Dr. Donald Brown, Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO. “Demand for PureCloud services grew rapidly during the quarter, and this new cloud platform will now be our primary offering in the customer engagement market.”

Brown added, “We moved to the cloud with our single-tenant CaaS solution, which we’ll continue selling to high-end customers with particularly complex requirements through multi-year agreements. With PureCloud, we’re taking a different approach. This innovative cloud platform was designed as a set of stateless, independently load-balanced microservices running atop Amazon Web Services. PureCloud has a comprehensive feature-set capable of delivering successful business outcomes for organizations of all types and sizes. Our sales efforts will encourage the use of monthly contracts that enable organizations to quickly and easily license, configure and expand their implementations over time.”  

Brown concluded, “Looking forward, we’re focused on becoming a high-velocity cloud company, not only developing new technology at a faster pace, but also accelerating every aspect of our go-to-market and delivery processes to optimize the opportunity in front of us. We’ll continue to work to strengthen our position as the only provider of world-class customer engagement technology for multi-tenant cloud, private cloud, and on-premises implementations.”

Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP measures shown in this release include revenue which was not recognized on a GAAP basis due to purchase accounting adjustments, exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense, certain acquisition-related expenses, the amortization of certain intangible assets related to acquisitions by the company, non-cash expense related to establishing the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, and the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, and adjust for non-GAAP income tax expense. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included with the financial information included in this press release. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, expense related to the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs are non-cash, and non-GAAP income tax expense is pro forma based on non-GAAP earnings. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP results, when shown in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends related to the company's results of operations. Further, our management believes that these non-GAAP measures improve management's and investors' ability to compare the company's financial performance with other companies in the technology industry. Because stock-based compensation expense, certain acquisition-related expenses, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs amounts can vary significantly between companies, it is useful to compare results excluding these amounts. Our management also reviews financial statements that exclude stock-based compensation expense, certain acquisition-related expenses, amortization of intangibles amounts related to acquisitions, expense related to the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, and pro forma income tax expense for its internal budgets.

Forward Looking Statements

This release may contain certain forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: rapid technological changes and competitive pressures in the industry; worldwide economic conditions and their impact on customer purchasing decisions; the company's ability: to maintain profitability; to manage successfully its growth; to manage successfully its increasingly complex third-party relationships resulting from the software and hardware components being licensed or sold with its solutions; to maintain successful relationships with certain suppliers which may be impacted by the competition in the technology industry; to maintain successful relationships with its current and any new partners; to maintain and improve its current products; to develop new products; to protect its proprietary rights and sensitive customer information adequately; to improve the company’s brand and name recognition; to successfully integrate acquired businesses; and other factors described in the company's SEC filings, including the company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
