Glowpoint Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2010 Results

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.

Highlights
 
·  
Revenue from Cloud-Based Managed Service Driving Growth:  Fourth quarter revenues from managed services increased 46% year over year and now represent 41% of quarterly revenues.
 
·  
Positive cash flow: The Company’s operating cash flow improved on a quarterly basis, resulting in positive cash flow contribution of $119,000 for the quarter.
 
·  
Strategic Partnerships: The Company continued its expansion of global partnerships in 2010, highlighted with core partners BroadSoft, Acme Packet, and Equinix, adding to its existing strategic partners and relationships with Polycom, Tata Communications and AVI-SPL.
 
·  
Continued Investments in Growth and Operating Efficiencies: The Company’s investments in sales, marketing, product development and operating efficiencies are anticipated to drive continued growth and improved operating leverage.  The Company launched its Open Video Cloud™ strategy to expand services on a global basis, and throughout 2010, announced several service rollouts targeted at the unified communications technology evolution and enhanced self-use services delivered via its cloud-based hosted infrastructure and applications.
 
·  
Management Team:  In the second half of 2010, multiple executives from the unified communications space were added to the executive management team.  John McGovern, an Avaya veteran, joined as EVP and CFO, Stephen Vobbe joined from Cisco to head sales and marketing, and Michael Hubner joined as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Also, Anil Balani now leads Glowpoint’s product development group and Shane Bouslough joined to direct information systems.

New Showcase HQ and R&D Operations Center:  The Company moved its corporate headquarters and added a new showcase operations, R&D and executive briefing center at the end of 2010.  This new facility is equipped with multiple telepresence rooms, its North America (East) operations center, and a fully equipped R&D lab.
 
 “I am very pleased with the progress we’ve made this year and our continued focus on product initiatives, sales and marketing, strategic partnerships and operating efficiencies is paying off.  I feel we are just beginning to scratch the surface for what is to come and expect we will continue to solidify our global go-to-market strategies with additional strategic partners in 2011,” said Joe Laezza, Glowpoint’s president and chief executive officer.  “We remain committed to aligning the Company with the right partners and driving profitability based on accelerated growth and operating leverage.”
 
John McGovern, Glowpoint’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, further commented, “The growth of revenue in our managed service business reflects a continued trust by our customers and partners to manage their video communication needs within this growing market. This revenue growth, as well as the actions we have taken to align our cost structure with our business needs, has led to a dramatic improvement in our fourth quarter profitability.”

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.
