PGi Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results: Organic Revenues Grew Nearly 5% to $132.2M*; Non-GAAP Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations $0.20*; SaaS Revenue Up Nearly 75% Year-Over-Year
Company Revises 2013 Financial Outlook to Reflect Recent Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates and Slower Trends in Europe
ATLANTA, July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Premiere Global Services, Inc. (NYSE: PGI), a global leader in virtual meetings for over 20 years, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
In the second quarter of 2013, net revenues totaled $132.2 million, compared to $127.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. Diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.17 in the second quarter of 2013, compared to diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.14 in the second quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.20* in the second quarter of 2013, compared to non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.19* in the second quarter of 2012.
"With revenue from our SaaS products growing nearly 75% in the second quarter – and over half that growth coming from our audio customers adding iMeet® and GlobalMeet® – we remain pleased with our execution of PGi's growth strategy," said Boland T. Jones, PGi founder, chairman and CEO. "The continued growth of our SaaS-based revenue remains a top priority for us, while at the same time we are focused on continuing to drive market share gains through investments in our global distribution and in our acquisition program.
"Over the last few weeks, our year-over-year revenue trends in Europe have slowed, from double-digit to mid-single-digit organic growth rates. We believe this slowdown is related to general economic conditions in the region, and we are confident that PGi continues to have a strong competitive position in the European market. Despite these recent trends, we remain optimistic in both our near- and long-term outlooks for PGi."
Six Month Results
In the first six months of 2013, net revenues totaled $261.7 million, compared to $253.6 million in the first six months of 2012. Diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.33 in the first six months of 2013, compared to diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.27 in the first six months of 2012. Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.39* in the first six months of 2013, compared to non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.37* in the first six months of 2012.
Financial Outlook
The following statements are based on PGi's current expectations. These statements contain forward-looking statements and company estimates, and actual results may differ materially. PGi assumes no duty to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release.
Continued foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and a recent slowing of our business trends in Europe have negatively affected the guidance PGi previously provided on April 18, 2013. As a result, PGi has updated its financial outlook for 2013. Based on current business trends and current foreign currency exchange rates, PGi anticipates that net revenues from continuing operations in 2013 will be in the range of $517-$523 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations will be in the range of $0.78-$0.81*.
PGi will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, to discuss these results. To participate in the call, please dial-in to the appropriate number 5-10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time: (888) 737-3662 (U.S. and Canada) or (913) 312-1472 (International). The conference call will simultaneously be webcast. Please visit www.pgi.com for webcast details and conference call replay information, as well as the webcast archive and the text of the earnings release, including the financial and statistical information to be presented during the call.

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.

Management believes that presenting non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations provide useful information regarding underlying trends in the company's continuing operations. Management expects equity-based compensation and amortization expenses to be recurring costs and presents non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations to exclude these non-cash items as well as non-recurring items that are unrelated to the company's ongoing operations, including non-recurring tax adjustments, restructuring costs, excise and sales tax expense, asset impairments, net legal settlements and related expenses and acquisition-related costs. 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. |
