ATLANTA, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Premiere Global Services, Inc. (NYSE: PGI), a global leader in virtual meetings for over 20 years, today provided an update on the impact of Hurricane Sandy on its 2012 financial guidance. Due to fourth quarter revenue loss associated with the storm, PGi anticipates that its 2012 financial results will be within, but toward the low end the 2012 financial outlook ranges it previously provided on October 18, 2012: net revenues from continuing operations are projected to be in the range of $504-$507 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations is projected to be in the range of $0.73-$0.74*.

"Our thoughts continue to be with the victims still struggling to recover from the storm, and we are thankful that all of our associates are safe and our facilities and operations were unaffected," said Boland T. Jones, PGi founder, chairman and CEO. "We have a number of customers whose businesses were disrupted by the hurricane, which temporarily affected our revenue. However, our global business trends remain strong, and we are optimistic in our outlook for the remainder of the year and for 2013."
