(NASDAQ: SNCR), the leader in mobile cloud innovation and software-based activation for mobile carriers, enterprises, retailers and OEMs around the world, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2015.

 

“The fourth quarter marked a strong end to an exciting year at Synchronoss,” said Stephen G. Waldis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Synchronoss. “Our Cloud Services business continues to perform well, driven by increasing subscriber adoption across our expanding customer base. We are also seeing strong, early momentum with our Enterprise Business Unit, including the addition of identity management to the Synchronoss Secure Mobility Suite.  Overall, 2015 was a pivotal year for Synchronoss as we executed well against our go-to-market strategy while also expanding our market footprint by introducing several new initiatives.  As a result, we believe there is a long runway of opportunity ahead that will lead us through the next phase of growth.”

 

On a GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported fourth quarter net revenues of $157.2 million, representing an increase of 21% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.  Gross profit was $90.2 million and income from operations was $15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.  Net income attributable to Synchronoss was $5.3 million, leading to diluted earnings per share of $0.12, compared to $0.30 for the fourth quarter of 2014. 

 

On a non-GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported fourth quarter net revenues, which adds back the purchase accounting adjustment related to revenues for certain acquisitions, of $157.8 million, an increase of 21% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.  Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $98.3 million, representing a gross margin of 62%.  Income from operations was $44.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, representing a year-over-year increase of 22% and an operating margin of 28%.  Net income attributable to Synchronoss was $28.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, up from $24.2 million in the year ago period.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.61 for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $0.53 for the fourth quarter of 2014.    

 

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

 

“We are pleased with our financial and operational performance in the fourth quarter and the full year, particularly our ability to generate strong free cash flow,” said Karen L. Rosenberger, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.  “We believe the investments we have made in our business over the last year position us well to generate significant value for our shareholders.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Synchronoss has provided in this release selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes historical non-GAAP revenues, gross profit, operating income, net income, effective tax rate, earnings per share and cash flows from operating activities. Synchronoss uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Synchronoss’ ongoing operational performance. Synchronoss believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Synchronoss’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above add back the deferred revenue write-down associated with acquisitions, fair value stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs which includes integration costs, changes in the contingent consideration obligation, deferred compensation expense related to earn outs and amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed above. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
