“Our results are driven by a combination of our investments in people and technology, and by our acquisitions which have enabled us to rapidly expand our capabilities,” said Dave Menzel, Chief

Financial Officer of Echo.  “We anticipate these investments will drive future revenue growth and improvements in operating leverage in the second half of 2013.”

 

Business Outlook

 

“Our revenue growth rate for the first three weeks of April 2013 was approximately 18% over the same period in the prior year,” stated Waggoner.Our growth through the first part of 2013 is lower than we had originally anticipated, due in large part to what we believe has been a sluggish overall economic climate, and as such we are reducing our annual revenue guidance to a range of $900 million to $940 million and our full year fully diluted non-GAAP EPS to a range of $0.78 to $0.84.”

 

Conference Call

 

A conference call, with accompanying presentation slides, will be broadcast live on April 25, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. Central Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time).  Doug Waggoner, Chief Executive Officer, and Dave Menzel, Chief Financial Officer, will host the call.  To participate in the call, dial (877) 303-6235 (toll free) or (631) 291-4837 (toll) and provide conference ID “Echo Global Logistics.”  To listen to a live webcast of the call, visit the Echo website at http://ir.echo.com.   A replay of the webcast will be available for one year following the live webcast in the Investor Relations section of the Echo website.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This release includes the following financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission: Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS. We refer to these Non-GAAP financial measures to describe earnings and earnings per share excluding the effects of changes in contingent consideration payable.  We believe such measures provide useful information to investors because they provide information about the financial performance of the Company’s ongoing business.

 

Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS are used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and evaluation of overall operating performance. These measures may be different from similar measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, see “Reconciliation to GAAP Operating Income, Operating Margin, Net Income and Fully Diluted EPS” included in this release.
