NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Borderfree (Nasdaq:BRDR), a market leader in international cross-border ecommerce, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
"While we are pleased to have once again set new records for both total revenue and ecommerce revenue, the macroeconomic impact of a significantly stronger U.S. dollar during the quarter negatively impacted our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter," said Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer of Borderfree. "In our view, the greater than expected strength of the U.S. dollar is likely to be sustained. This, combined with delays in the implementation of certain large customers who have chosen to defer implementation until after the peak holiday period, means we no longer anticipate the same level of seasonal strength in the fourth quarter that we have historically experienced. As a result, we are lowering our outlook for the remainder of 2014."
"The opportunity for ecommerce globally remains compellingly clear. Our ongoing investments in lowering logistics costs, expanding payment options, and delivering an enhanced checkout experience is driving improved conversion. Development of our express integration technology and expanding the Borderfree service to retailers in the U.K. is ahead of schedule - all of which will help ensure Borderfree is better able to maximize the global ecommerce opportunity and reduce the impact of any single currency volatility over the long term. During our third quarter conference call we will provide additional details and updates on our progress with these initiatives."
