EasyLink Services International Corporation
Announces Fiscal Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

2nd Consecutive Quarter of Record Results

NORCROSS, GA, June 8, 2011- (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - EasyLink Services International Corporation ("EasyLink" or "Company") (NasdaqCM: ESIC) (www.easylink.com), a global provider of cloud-based messaging and e-commerce solutions, reported fiscal third quarter 2011 results representing its second consecutive quarter of record revenue, gross profit and cash flow from nine months of operations.

“We are pleased to report record results on a quarter-over-quarter basis as well as on a year-over-year basis for both top-line and bottom-line growth,” said Tom Stallings, CEO of EasyLink. “Our team built upon the momentum we experienced in the previous quarter, growing new and existing customer revenues to record levels. While it is too early to be certain, we believe the increased customer activity is a favorable indicator of our future performance and assurance of our strategy to deliver a broader portfolio of productivity enhancing solutions over the cloud.”

Supply Chain Messaging revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, which includes electronic data interchange (“EDI”) products and services and other legacy applications, was approximately $9.3 million compared to approximately $10.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  Supply Chain Messaging revenue represented approximately 20% of total revenue in the third quarter compared to approximately 49% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $4.3 million, or $0.14 per basic share and $0.13 per diluted share, compared to approximately $2.0 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  Non-GAAP net income ex-items was $6.5 million, or $0.22 per adjusted basic share and $0.20 per diluted share, compared to approximately $2.7 million, or $0.09 per adjusted basic and dilutive share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Cash Flow Statement and Balance Sheet

Cash generated from operations for the nine months ending April 30, 2011 was a record $19.3 million, up 45% from the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Our cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2011 totaled $27.9 million.

 
Non-GAAP Presentation
 
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other





companies. This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 8-K earnings release filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the third fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011.
 
In addition, these non-GAAP measures: (i) are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles; and (ii) have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with EasyLink's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these measures should only be used to evaluate EasyLink’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
 
EasyLink believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business.
 
EasyLink believes that these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results between periods and among our peer companies. However, our peer companies may calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures differently than EasyLink, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Investor Conference Call
 
The Company plans to hold a conference call on Thursday, June 9th at 9:00 a.m. EDT to discuss the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
The Company invites all those interested in hearing management’s discussion to join the call by dialing 1-877-857-6163 and international callers should dial 1-719-325-4932, participant pass code 2321931.  If you are unable to participate and would like to hear a replay of the call, an audio reply will be available on EasyLink’s investor relations website at http://ir.easylink.com/events.cfm.
