ATLANTA – July 17, 2014Premiere Global Services, Inc. (NYSE: PGI), a leading global provider of collaboration software and services for over 20 years, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

In the second quarter of 2014, net revenues increased 9.2% to $144.3 million, compared to $132.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. Diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.13 in the second quarter of 2014, compared to diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.17 in the second quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.23* in the second quarter of 2014, compared to non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.20* in the second quarter of 2013.

 

“We are pleased with the continuing solid trends in our global business and, in particular, the increasing momentum in sales of our SaaS-based collaboration products,” said Boland T. Jones, PGi founder, chairman and CEO. “We generated SaaS revenue of approximately $12 million in the second quarter, representing over 50% year-over-year growth and our highest sequential increase ever in this important revenue category. We ended the quarter with strong sales pipelines and an annual revenue run-rate of over $48 million from these high-value, high-margin products. Consistent with our ongoing strategy, we plan to accelerate our investments in driving higher sales of these next-generation collaboration products this year, as we work to further accelerate the positive transition in our business toward a SaaS model.”

In the first six months of 2014, net revenues grew nearly 10% to $287.5 million, compared to $261.7 million in the first six months of 2013.

* Non-GAAP Financial Measures


To supplement the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we have included the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations, non-GAAP diluted net income per share (EPS) from continuing operations, free cash flow and organic growth. Management defines "free cash flow" as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, less capital expenditures. The company has also included these non-GAAP measures, as well as net revenues and segment net revenues, on a constant currency basis. Management uses these measures internally as a means of analyzing the company’s current and future financial performance and identifying trends in our financial condition and results of operations. We have provided this information to investors to assist in meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of ongoing core operations. Please see the table attached for calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and for reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from comparable or similarly titled measures provided by other companies and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-cash and non-recurring items are presented net of taxes for non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations.
