ENGLEWOOD, Colorado — Evolving Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVOL), a leading provider of strategic solutions to telecom operators worldwide, today reported financial results for its second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2013.

 

“We are pleased with our profit metrics and ability to generate strong cash flows in the second quarter,” said Thad Dupper, Chairman and CEO.  “However, our results for the quarter were impacted by a new DSA sale we expected in the second quarter that subsequently closed early in the third quarter.  With second quarter DSA bookings up 48% and our third quarter bookings off to a strong start, we’re confident we are on track to deliver improved results for the third quarter and 2013.  As a result, our Board of Directors has increased our quarterly dividend to $0.10 from $0.08 — representing the Company’s second dividend increase since the fourth quarter of 2012.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Evolving Systems reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). In addition, the Company is providing in this news release non-GAAP financial information in the form of net income, diluted net income per share and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment, stock compensation and gain/loss on foreign exchange transactions). Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and lenders in evaluating the overall financial health of the Company in that they allow for greater transparency of additional financial data routinely used by management to evaluate performance. Investors and financial analysts who follow the Company use non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share to compare the Company against other companies. Adjusted EBITDA can be useful for lenders as an indicator of earnings available to service debt. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

*The estimated income tax for non-GAAP net income is adjusted by the amount of additional expense that the Company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results in the calculation of its tax liability, taking into account in which tax jurisdiction each of the above adjustments would be made and the tax rate in that jurisdiction.
