  • Tablet keyboard sales up 30% versus the second quarter of 2013
  • Net sales of $50.2 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $5.3 million
  • Pro forma net income of $2.7 million
  • Cash flow from operations of $6.7 million
  • Reiterates 2014 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance

SALT LAKE CITY, August 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZAGG Inc (Nasdaq:ZAGG), a leading mobile device accessories company, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

"This quarter's results were driven by better execution with our existing tier one customers. We sold a record number of new SKUs and also saw higher product sell-through due to improved shelf presence and new point-of-sale fixtures. InvisibleShield™ Glass has experienced very strong sales even without a major new device launch," said Randy Hales, president and CEO. "Typically, the second quarter is our weakest quarter of the year, so our performance this quarter is very encouraging. A focused effort by all members of the ZAGG team and great execution against our strategic objectives in product, brand, and distribution have helped ZAGG stabilize revenues and set the path to renewed growth in the second half of the year."

About Non-GAAP Financial Information

ZAGG considers earnings before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of investment in private company, other income/expense, and provision for income taxes ("Adjusted EBITDA") to be an important financial indicator of the Company's operational strength and the performance of its business.

In addition, ZAGG considers earnings before stock-based compensation expense, amortization, impairment of investment in private company, and other income/expense (excluding cash interest expense), net of tax effects where applicable, ("pro forma net income") to be a valuable metric in respect of the operational performance of the Company.

These results should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

A reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net income, and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is presented under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included below.

Outlook

The Company reiterates its full year 2014 guidance of net sales of $218.0 million - $228.0 million and full year Adjusted EBITDA of $32.0 million - $34.0 million. Gross margins are anticipated to be in the mid-to-high 30's.

Conference Call

A conference call will be held today at 5:00 p.m. ET to review these results. Interested parties may access via the Internet on the Company's website at: http://investors.zagg.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure

Investors are cautioned that the Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of a private investment in a private company, other income/expense, and provision for income taxes) and pro forma net income (earnings before stock-based compensation expense, amortization, and other income/expense [excluding cash interest expense], impairment of a private investment in a private company, net of tax effects where applicable) contained in this press release are not financial measures under GAAP. In addition, they should not be construed as alternatives to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. For comparative purposes, we applied an annualized statutory tax rate of 38.25% to derive the pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share. We present this financial information because we believe that it is helpful to some investors as a measure of performance. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare current results with results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
