RIVER FALLS, Wis., July 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sajan, Inc. (OTC:SAJA), a leading provider of global language services and translation management system technology, today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.
Highlights for the second quarter include the following:
- Revenues grew to a record $7,240,000 compared to $6,133,000 in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 18%. This was the company's sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth.
- Revenue came in above the range of $6,800,000 to $7,100,000 previously announced in a press release on June 17, 2014.
- Gross margin in the second quarter was 40% compared to 39% in the second quarter of 2013 and 36% in the first quarter of 2014.
- Net income was $184,000 compared to $147,000 in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 25%.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $522,000 compared to $435,000 in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 20%. See the section entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income.
The record revenue is a result of continued expansion of the company's customer base. The improved gross margin and net income are a direct result of leveraging the project coordinators and operating personnel added in the first quarter of 2014 to support revenue growth from customers attained in late 2013. The results for the quarter also reflect continued investment in research and development as Sajan further accelerates enhancements to Transplicity, the company's proprietary industry-leading translation management system technology.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014, were $13,394,000 compared to $11,657,000 in the same period of 2013, an increase of 15%. Net loss for the first six months of 2014 was $216,000 compared to net income of $163,000 in the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $470,000 in the first six months of 2014 compared to $731,000 in the same period of 2013.
"I am very pleased with our record revenue in the second quarter and our sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth," said Sajan CEO, Shannon Zimmerman. "In the first quarter of the year we anticipated that we would need additional operating personnel to support our expected revenue growth. These additional resources paid off for us in the second quarter, as they greatly contributed to the quarter's record revenue and improved profitability. Our relentless focus on improvement and innovation for our customers is helping us to grow consistently. We are also continuing to expend research and development efforts in Transplicity, which is used by our client and operations staff and represents a key differentiator for Sajan in our quest for greater growth."

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We believe that this non-GAAP measure of financial results provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. This measure is also used in financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Our management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents this non-GAAP financial measure in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
