“We are pleased with Limelight’s third quarter results that showed
sequential improvements even in a seasonally weak quarter, and marked
record achievements across multiple key financial and non-financial
metrics. Customers continue to reward Limelight’s performance gains by
sending us more business, and we believe we are continuing to take
market share. Pricing discipline and operational efficiencies are
driving massive gains in gross margin, and the significant and
continuing improvement in our Net Promoter Score confirms our customer’s
growing satisfaction with the value they obtain from Limelight,” said
Bob Lento, Chief Executive Officer at Limelight.
“In light of the strength of our results, we are again raising guidance
for Limelight’s full year revenue, gross margin, non-GAAP earnings per
share, and Adjusted EBITDA. We foresee Limelight’s 2017 operating
performance to be our best ever, and we plan on improving further in
2018. As we’ve said before, we operate in a healthy and growing
industry, we are proud to serve our customers, we are a good partner for
our vendors, we are a desirable employer, and we are acutely focused on
delivering exceptional shareholder returns,” Mr. Lento added.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted
accounting principles (Non-GAAP) net income (loss), EBITDA 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 income (loss) to be an important indicator of
overall business performance. We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be
U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude provision for
litigation, share-based compensation, litigation expenses and
amortization of intangible assets. We believe that EBITDA provides a
useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our
industry and across industries. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income
(loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest
expense, interest and other (income) expense, and income tax expense. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude provision for
litigation, share-based compensation and litigation expenses. We use
Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating
performance. Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures
because, collectively, they provide valuable information on the
performance of our on-going operations, excluding non-cash charges,
taxes and non-core activities (including interest payments related to
financing activities). These measures also enable our management to
compare the results of our on-going operations from period to period,
and allow management to review the performance of our on-going
operations against our peer companies and against other companies in our
industry and adjacent industries. We believe these measures also provide
similar insights to investors, and enable investors to review our
results of operations “through the eyes of management.”
Furthermore, our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to
assist them in making decisions regarding our strategic priorities and
areas for future investment and focus.
The terms Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not
defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income,
operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have
limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating
performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income
(loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are
not limited to:
-
EBITDA 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;
-
Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash
requirements necessary for litigation costs, including provision for
litigation and litigation expenses;
-
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 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 Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as
comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S.
GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted
EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of
business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:

For future periods, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss as a result of the uncertainty
regarding, and the potential variability of, the amounts of depreciation
and amortization, interest expense, interest and other (income) expense
and income tax expense, that may be incurred in the future.
