Cloud-Based Managed Service Revenue Grows 46% to Drive Significant Improvement in Profitability
MURRAY HILL, N.J., Mar. 16, 2011 – Glowpoint, Inc. (OTCBB: GLOW), a leading global provider of cloud-based managed services for telepresence, video conferencing and collaboration, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
Total revenues for the fourth quarter and fiscal year increased by 11% to $7.0 million and 9% to $27.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the previous year. Cloud-based managed services revenues, consisting of Open Video (“OV”) Manage and Collaborate services, grew 46% in the quarter compared to the same period last year, and reached 41% of overall revenues in the quarter.
Loss from continuing operations showed an improvement of $530,000 from the third quarter, to $379,000 for the fourth quarter, which included severance charges in the amount of $459,000. The Company utilizes a non GAAP measurement of adjusted EBITDA as an important metric used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company which is defined and reconciled to GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled) for the fourth quarter was $486,000, representing a $580,000 increase over the previous quarter’s earnings.
Based on the current operating trends and analysis, the Company reported that it expects revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled) will continue to grow in 2011, led by cloud-based managed services growth. The Company is setting long-term targets of 15-20% revenue growth and 20-25% Adjusted EBITDA margins.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income, sales taxes and regulatory fee expense or benefit, loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments and stock-based compensation, and severance Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Rather, Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA as defined here does not have the same meaning as EBITDA as defined in our SEC filings prior to this date. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is shown below.
