TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW) (Limelight), a global leader in
digital content delivery, today reported revenue of $42.0 million for
the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to $39.0 million in
the third quarter of 2014, an increase of eight percent.
During the third quarter of 2014, revenue from Netflix was $1.2 million.
Revenue was also negatively impacted in the third quarter of 2015 by
changes in foreign currency of approximately $1.0 million, compared to
the third quarter of 2014. Adjusting for the impact of these items,
revenue increased by 14 percent period over period.
GAAP gross margins were 37.8% in the third quarter of 2015, a decrease
of 360 basis points from 41.4% in the third quarter of 2014. Gross
margins in the third quarter of 2014 were positively impacted by high
margin Netflix revenue and a $1.1 million nonrecurring credit received
from a co-location provider.
On a GAAP basis, Limelight reported a loss from continuing operations of
$7.8 million, or $0.08 per basic share, for the third quarter of 2015,
compared to a loss from continuing operations of $5.1 million, or $0.05
per basic share, in the third quarter of 2014.
Non-GAAP net loss was $4.3 million, or $0.04 per basic share, for the
third quarter of 2015 compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $2.2 million,
or $0.02 per basic share, in the third quarter of 2014.
EBITDA from continuing operations was negative $3.0 million for the
third quarter of 2015 compared to negative $1.2 million for the third
quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was $0.3 million for the third quarter
of 2015 compared to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2014.
Limelight ended the third quarter with 556 employees, down from 563
employees at the end of the second quarter of 2015, and up from 509
employees in the year ago period. In October, Limelight reduced its
workforce by 44 employees, or approximately 8% of its global workforce.
Based on current conditions, for the full-year 2015, Limelight’s revenue
guidance remains unchanged at between $170 and $174 million. Non-GAAP
net loss is now expected to be between $0.10 and $0.14 per share,
compared to previous guidance of a net loss of between $0.10 and $0.16
per share. Capital expenditures remain unchanged for the full-year 2015
at between $22 and $26 million.
Limelight expects 2016 revenue will be between $180 and $195 million and
Non-GAAP net income (loss) will be between $(0.05) and $0.05.
Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Officer Robert Lento said,
“We are pleased to report the highest period over period revenue growth
since 2011. Our Net Promoter Score is up very strongly, and our network
resilience, performance and throughput is up and we continue to deliver
record levels of traffic volume. While we are disappointed that the
Federal Circuit ruling on August 13 in our long-standing patent dispute
isn’t aligned with prior rulings in our favor, our plan is to continue
to vigorously defend our position with the courts. In light of that
ruling, we have taken steps that we believe will allow us to have
adequate access to cash, through our balance sheet and our recently
signed credit facility, to address the range of reasonably possible
outcomes. Coupled with our operational efficiency efforts already
underway, we believe, we will be cash flow neutral to slightly positive
in 2016.”
He added, “We see ourselves playing an increasingly important role in
the secure and global delivery of large and rich Content. The industry
is experiencing healthy secular trends. What we do is important to our
customers and to the competitive landscape. We will direct our efforts
to strengthen our product portfolio, our customer relationships, our
patent portfolio, and our financial performance. We are determined to
profitably grow the company.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted
accounting principles (Non-GAAP) net loss, EBITDA from continuing
operations and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating
performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management
takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on
a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net loss to be an
important indicator of overall business performance. We define Non-GAAP
net loss to be U.S. GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude share-based
compensation, litigation defense expenses, amortization of intangible
assets, discontinued operations and the gain (loss) on sale of our web
content management (WCM) business. We believe that EBITDA from
continuing operations provides a useful metric to investors to compare
us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We
define EBITDA from continuing operations as U.S. GAAP net loss adjusted
to exclude interest and other (income) expense, interest expense, income
tax expense, depreciation and amortization, discontinued operations and
gain (loss) on sale of WCM. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA from
continuing operations adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and
litigation defense expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental
measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use
of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors’ use of operating performance
comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.
The terms Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA from continuing operations and
Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under United States generally accepted
accounting principles, or United States GAAP, and are not measures of
operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in
accordance with United States GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA from
continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical
tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net loss,
EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other
consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with United
States GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
-
EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect
our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures
or contractual commitments;
-
these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for,
our working capital needs;
-
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for
litigation costs;
-
these measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash
requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on
our debt that we may incur;
-
these measures do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements
for any tax payments;
-
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the
assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in
the future, and EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA
do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
-
while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense,
the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can
vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the
options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
-
other companies may calculate EBITDA from continuing operations and
Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as
comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP
results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA from continuing
operations, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for
management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income
(loss), EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA are
calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In accordance with the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K,
Limelight is presenting the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures and reconciling the non-GAAP financial metrics to the
comparable GAAP measures. Per share amounts may not foot due to rounding.

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. These statements include, among others,
statements regarding our strategic focus; our expectations regarding
revenues for the fourth quarter and full year 2015 and full year 2016;
non-GAAP net loss and capital expenditures for the full-year 2015; our
non-GAAP net income (loss) for the full-year 2016, the growth of our
business; the performance of our services; our expectations regarding
the Akamai litigation, and our relationship with our customers. Our
expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize.
The potential risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
