Sajan, Inc. announces record revenue for 

fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013

RIVER FALLS, Wis., February 26, 2014- Sajan, Inc. (SAJA), a leading provider of global language services and translation management system technology, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Highlights for the fourth quarter include the following:

 

·Revenues grew to $6,584,000 compared to $5,180,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012.
·Gross margin was 41 percent, the Company’s best quarterly performance of the year.
·Net income was $38,000 compared to a net loss of $39,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012.
·Adjusted EBITDA was $442,000 compared to $253,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter 2013 results include $119,000 of expenses related to evaluating potential acquisition candidates during the quarter. See the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income.

 

Highlights for the fiscal year include the following:

 

·Revenues grew 17 percent to $23,961,000 compared to $20,511,000 in 2012.
·Gross margin grew 400 basis points to 39 percent compared to 35 percent in 2012

·Adjusted EBITDA was a record $1,316,000 compared to $55,000 in 2012.

 

 

 
 

 

In 2013, the Company took a series of actions that contributed to the year-over-year financial performance, including:

 

·Launched Sajan Transplicity, Sajan’s proprietary industry-leading translation management system technology. The release of Transplicity contributed to the Company’s 2013 revenue growth and 400 basis point improvement in gross margin.
·Made several strategic staff additions which contributed to revenue growth from the Company’s international customers. In 2013 foreign revenue grew 24% compared to a decline of 7% in 2012.
·Created operational efficiency gains that grew revenue without substantially growing staff.
·Expanded the R & D team to further enhance Sajan Transplicity for greater efficiencies, more margin improvements and increased future sales opportunities.

 

“Our improved 2013 financial performance is reflective of the progress the Company is making towards its strategic objectives to grow revenue and improve operating leverage” said Shannon Zimmerman, CEO of Sajan. “Going forward we will focus on growing revenue through strategic acquisitions, expanding the Sajan footprint within existing and new clients and advancing our technology capabilities, all while remaining lean and efficient”.

 

 

 

 

 
 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Adjusted EBITDA

 

   Three months ended December 31,   Year ended December 31, 
(in thousands)  2013   2012   2013   2012 
Net income (loss)  $38   $(39)  $38   $(1,052)
Interest expense   27    28    110    99 
Income taxes   71    24    96    57 
Depreciation and amortization   229    183    825    772 
Stock-based compensation   77    57    247    179 
Adjusted EBITDA  $442   $253   $1,316   $55 

 

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We believe that this non-GAAP measure of financial results provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. This measure is also used in financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

 

Our management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents this non-GAAP financial measure in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
