ENGLEWOOD, Colorado — Evolving Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVOL), a leader in activation, enablement and management of services for connected mobile devices, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

“We followed strong third and fourth quarter bookings results with a first quarter record performance in the category of license and service bookings,” said Thad Dupper, Chairman and CEO.  “Total license and services bookings increased 42% year over year while license and services bookings for our flagship Dynamic SIM Allocation™ (DSA) solution grew 95% over the same period, indicating growing market acceptance of DSA as wireless carriers capitalize on the product’s competitive benefits.  Bookings momentum pushed our license and services backlog up 40% in the first quarter to $7.8 million from $5.6 million a year ago. At the same time, our DSA license and services backlog increased 72% in the first quarter to $5.3 million from $3.1 million year over year.  We believe this backlog growth positions us for strong revenue and EBITDA performance in the second quarter.”

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.
