BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--- Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (SNCR), the mobile innovation leader that provides cloud solutions and software-based activation for connected devices across the globe, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2014.

“Synchronoss is pleased to report strong second quarter results that met or exceeded our expectations and were highlighted by 74% year-over-year Cloud Services revenue growth,” said Stephen G. Waldis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Synchronoss. “During the second quarter, we saw the number of new personal cloud subscribers accelerate as many of our mobile operator customers saw very positive business results, trends we expect to continue throughout the year. It’s exciting to see our platforms becoming a vital component of our customers’ core business strategies.”

Waldis added, “We are also seeing positive trends in our Activation Services business that should drive double digit growth in the second half of the year. At the same time, our customers’ early interest in our Synchronoss Integrated Life™ and emerging enterprise offerings provides additional revenue growth opportunities while continuing to diversify our business. We are confident in our ability to capitalize on the growing number of market opportunities.”

On a GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported net revenues of $103.5 million, representing an increase of 23% compared to the second quarter of 2013. Gross profit was $62.2 million and income from operations was $13.8 million in the quarter. Net income applicable to common stock was $8.4 million, leading to diluted earnings per share of $0.20, compared to $0.09 for the second quarter of 2013.

On a non-GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported net revenues for the second quarter, adjusted for the effect of certain acquisitions, of $103.6 million, an increase of 22% compared to the second quarter of 2013. Gross profit for the quarter was $63.7 million, representing a gross margin of 62%. Income from operations was $25.9 million in the quarter, representing a year-over-year increase of 33% and an operating margin of 25%. Net income was $16.8 million in the quarter, up from $12.3 million in the year ago period. Diluted earnings per share were $0.41 for the quarter, an increase of 32% compared to $0.31 for the second quarter of 2013.

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."

“Our second quarter results were strong from both a financial and operational perspective,” said Karen L. Rosenberger, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. “We continue to leverage the investments we are making to increase our global scale and create significant value for our customers and shareholders while driving top-line growth and achieving our profitability goals.”

Other Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

  • Cloud Services non-GAAP revenue was $46.7 million, representing approximately 45% of total revenue.
  • Activation Services non-GAAP revenue was $56.9 million, representing approximately 55% of total revenue.
  • Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, Synchronoss acquired Voxmobili SA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of OnMobile Global Ltd., that currently provides the incumbent Network Address Books for several major Tier One carrier customers, for $26 million in cash. The acquisition of Voxmobili reinforces Synchronoss’ relationship with several of its current carrier customers while strengthening its competitive position in the Personal Cloud.

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, 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.
