Raises Q2 Revenue Outlook to $108-$112 Million, Indicating Broad-Based Demand; Expects Revenue and
Profitability to Accelerate Sequentially in Q2 and Second Half of 2011 as Accounts Scale
WALTHAM, Mass. May 09, 2011 Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Financial highlights for the quarter include:
| Revenue of $99.7 million, a year-on-year decrease of $1.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2010. |
| GAAP net loss of $5.4 million, or ($0.09) per share based on 57.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. This marks a year-on-year decrease of $5.9 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to the first quarter of 2010 due to ramp up expenses related to new client programs and segment and customer mix during the quarter. GAAP net loss includes $2.1 million of restructuring expense during the quarter. |
| Excluding restructuring expenses, the Companys net loss was $3.3 million, or ($0.06) per share. |
| Non-GAAP adjusted loss of $1.7 million, or ($0.03) per share. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted earnings as GAAP net income excluding merger, restructuring and related costs, stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Please see the section of this release entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures and the attached table for details and reconciliations of this measure to the comparable GAAP measure. |
| An ending cash balance of $25.3 million, or $0.44 per share. |
The Company recently announced general availability of GeoFluent, a SaaS-based, customizable, real-time automated translation technology that instantly translates content and communications into multiple languages. GeoFluent is based on IBMs machine translation engine and is the result of a technology partnership between Lionbridge and IBM. Lionbridge has secured three prominent beta clients for GeoFluent and expects strong market demand for customizable, cost-effective, instantaneous translation of enterprise content that is not currently translated using traditional translation methods such as chat sessions, user generated Web content and Web sites.
Lionbridge also recently announced that it has secured new, multi-year, multi-million dollar relationships with leading organizations in the aerospace, media, mobile and services industries and has successfully expanded several existing client programs. In addition to these new programs, Lionbridge was also recently awarded a master services agreement with a large US retailer to become the clients sole provider of translation and a two year contract with a sales and marketing services company. Lionbridge expects these programs to generate at least one million annually.
Based on strong revenue pipeline, the Company estimates its second quarter revenue will be $108 to $112 million. The Company also reiterated its full year revenue guidance of 5-10% year-on-year growth.
We are transitioning our business from revenue stability to revenue growth. It is heartening to see our second quarter revenue ramp ahead of plan. Our recent investments in sales and marketing are yielding positive results. We are increasing our win rates and securing new contracts with clients across vertical markets. We are expanding recent wins into multi-million dollar accounts, said Rory Cowan, CEO, Lionbridge. As we indicated, we expect revenue and profits to accelerate sequentially in the second quarter and the second half as we scale these new client programs and benefit from stronger product release cycle from major accounts. Our clients are investing in the future with product upgrades and new releases. With this positive revenue momentum from new and existing accounts we expect a strong 2011.
Lionbridge management will conduct a conference call at 9:00 a.m. ET this morning to discuss financial performance for the quarter and other matters, including matters related to its future performance. To participate, callers within the United States can dial 800-857-9821 and international callers can dial 210-234-0023. The passcode for the call is Lionbridge. The conference call will also be available live via the Internet here.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, the Companys adjusted earnings, earnings excluding restructuring expenses,
earnings per share excluding restructuring expenses and adjusted earnings per share, are not
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended
to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations. These measures are presented
because management believes they provide additional information to investors with respect to the
performance of our fundamental business activities. These measures are Non-GAAP financial measures
and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for adjusted earnings, earnings excluding
restructuring expenses, earnings per share excluding restructuring expenses and adjusted earnings
per share are net income and net income per share and has provided a reconciliation of these
measures to net income (loss) at the end of this release.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties,
including expected financial performance and expected revenue and earnings growth of Lionbridge in
second quarter of 2011 and the second half of 2011, anticipated customer demand, including customer
spending during 2011, market demand for Lionbridges new products and expected improvements to
profitability and financial performance. Lionbridges actual experiences, actions, financial and
operating results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that might cause such a difference include the timing or scope of services procured by
Lionbridge customers; given that a substantial portion of Lionbridges revenue is generated from a
limited number of customers, the loss of or reduction in demand from one or more major client or
customer would materially reduce revenue and cash flow and adversely affect Lionbridges business;
the termination of customer contracts or engagements prior to the end of their term; the size,
timing and recognition of revenue from clients; the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on
revenue, margins, costs, operating results and profitability and the Companys ability to
successfully manage this exposure through hedge instruments and other strategies; the portion of
the Companys service engagements that are subject to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations;
Lionbridges ability to provide and maintain high quality services at a competitive price and
related customer satisfaction with such service delivery; reduced demand for the Companys services
that adversely impacts Lionbridges future revenues, cash flows, results of operations and
financial condition; the ability of Lionbridge to realize the expected benefits of its technology
initiatives and the timing of the realization of such benefits; global economic conditions that may
affect the demand for Lionbridges services by customers and prospective customers; market
acceptance of and customer demand for the Companys SaaS-based technology offerings; errors,
interruptions or delays in SaaS-based technology or Web hosting; breaches of security measures;
the success of Lionbridges partnership with IBM; the cost, complexity, timing and speed of
development and commercialization activities associated with real-time machine translation
technology initiatives and customer and user acceptance of such technologies; risks associated with
the financial aspects of the subscription model utilized in connection with the Translation
Workspace and GeoFluent; risks associated with conducting business outside of the United States,
including compliance with changing and potentially conflicting laws and regulations, restrictions
on downsizing operations in Europe and other jurisdictions (i.e. regulatory or works council
restrictions) and expenses and delays associated with any such activities; longer collection
cycles and deeper impact of any global economic downturn in particular jurisdictions; risks
associated with competition; costs associated with restructuring of certain operations in Europe
and other locations, the timing of actions and any anticipated benefits and the ability to realize
such benefits; the duration and outcome of negotiations with works councils with respect to the
timing of restructuring and the details of proposed actions; Lionbridges ability to forecast
revenue, profitability, technology adoption, customer demand and operating results; Lionbridges
ability to perform services in lower cost operational locations and the timing of its transfer of
service execution to such locations, and customer acceptance of service execution in such
locations; changes in tax rates applicable to the Company and changes to the interpretations of
applicable tax rates; the Companys dependence on clients product releases, production schedules
and procurement strategies to generate revenues; the impact of competing language technology on the
Companys existing customer relationships and ability to secure new customers; the failure of
Lionbridge to keep pace with technological changes or changing customer needs; Lionbridges ability
to further develop and deploy its translation technologies, including Translation Workspace and
GeoFluent; the risk of claims by third parties of intellectual property claims; the ability of
Lionbridge to respond to fluctuations in the complexity, timing and mix of services required by
customers; and Lionbridge being held liable for defects or errors in its service offerings. For a
