Glowpoint Reports First Quarter 2014 Results


DENVER, May 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glowpoint, Inc. (NYSE MKT:GLOW), a leading provider of video collaboration services and network solutions, reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

"We have begun 2014 according to plan, delivering modest revenue growth compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 and Adjusted EBITDA growth year-over-year," said Peter Holst, CEO and president of Glowpoint. "The rapid adoption of unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) solutions combined with higher demand for IP-based communication services will require customers to have access to a diverse set of support and help desk requirements, including real-time analytics, advanced monitoring and multi-tiered support systems. In 2013, we set the foundation to develop our next generation IT service management platform for this market by improving our capital structure and financial position, increasing operational efficiencies and hiring key personnel. In 2014, Glowpoint is focused on building out our platform as we continue to invest heavily in systems, product development and partner enablement to drive long-term revenue growth. We are now in the initial stages of onboarding partners and expect continued progress throughout the year.

"Furthermore, I am pleased to welcome key additions to our board of directors. Jim Cohen and Pat Lombardi bring a substantial depth of both industry and domain expertise to complement that of our existing members. I appreciate their commitment to the company and look forward to their future contributions," concluded Holst.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, interest and other expense, net, taxes, stock-based compensation, impairment charges, acquisition costs, and severance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Rather, Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company and is used in the calculation of financial covenants in the Main Street Loan Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA, as defined here, does not have the same meaning as EBITDA as defined in certain of our prior Securities and Exchange Commission filings that contain separate reconciliations of EBITDA to net income (loss). A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is shown in the attached schedules.
