LIONBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of the Business

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Lionbridge” or the “Company”). These financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, necessary for their fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company’s preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Estimates are used (but not limited to) when accounting for collectability of receivables, calculating service revenue using a proportional performance assessment and valuing intangible assets and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Restricted Stock Awards

Lionbridge issued 1,336,500 and 188,542 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units, respectively, under the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 representing a fair market value of $8.4 million. Of the total 1,525,042 shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units issued in the six month period ended June 30, 2014, 1,161,450 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over four years from the date of grant, 35,592 have restrictions on disposition which lapse over thirteen months from the grant date and 328,000 shares of restricted common stock were granted to certain employees through the long-term incentive plan (the “LTIP”) as long-term performance-based stock incentive awards under the Corporation’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the LTIP, restrictions with respect to the stock will generally lapse upon the achievement of revenue and profitability targets within the two calendar years from and including the year of grant. The grant date fair value of the shares is recognized over the requisite period of performance once achievement of criteria is deemed probable. On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving performance goals and records expense accordingly. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates. If the targets are not achieved, the shares will be forfeited by the employee in accordance with the forfeiture table per the grant agreements.

As of June 30, 2014, future compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, less estimated forfeitures, is approximately $1.3 million and will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 years. Lionbridge currently expects to amortize $12.0 million of unamortized compensation in connection with restricted stock awards outstanding as of June 30, 2014 over an estimated weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 years.

Share Repurchasing Program

On October 30, 2012, Lionbridge’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchasing program for up to $18 million over three years. During the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase Lionbridge common shares with a total value up to $6 million per year, subject to certain market rate conditions. The Company made the following purchases since the program’s inception in October 2012:

 

     Total Number of      Average Price

3. UNBILLED RECEIVABLES AND DEFERRED REVENUE

Unbilled receivables represent revenue recognized not yet billed. Unbilled receivables are calculated for each individual project based on the proportional delivery of services at the balance sheet date. Billing of amounts in unbilled receivables occurs according to customer-agreed payment schedules or upon completion of specified project milestones. All of Lionbridge’s projects in unbilled receivables are expected to be billed and collected within one year.

Deferred revenue represents advance billings to customers. Deferred revenue is calculated for each individual project and constitutes a performance obligation for which revenue will be recognized as services are delivered.

4. DEBT

On October 30, 2013, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement with HSBC Bank, as Administrative Agent and a lender, and a syndicate of other lenders (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes a $65 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which includes a $10 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swing-line loans. The Company may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $35 million, dependent upon certain conditions. The interest rates are in the range of Prime Rate plus 0.25%—1.00% or LIBOR

Table of Contents

plus 1.25%—2.00% (at the Company’s discretion), depending on certain conditions. This facility expires on October 30, 2018, after which time the Company may need to secure new financing. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to secure new financing, or financing on terms that are acceptable. At June 30, 2014, $27.0 million was outstanding with an interest rate of 1.40%. The fair value of debt approximates its current value of $27.0 million as of June 30, 2014. The fair value of the debt would be classified as a Level 2 measurement due to the use of inputs based on similar liabilities in the market.

The Company is required to maintain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and to comply with other covenants in its revolving credit agreement. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing the Company’s total outstanding indebtedness at each quarter end by its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and certain other non-cash expenses during the four consecutive quarterly periods then ended. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and certain other non-cash expenses minus capital expenditures for each consecutive four quarterly periods by its interest paid and cash paid on taxes during each such consecutive four quarterly periods. The Company was in compliance with both of these ratios as well as all other financial covenants as of June 30, 2014.

5. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and unvested restricted stock, as determined using the treasury stock method. Shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

Options and unvested restricted stock to purchase 0.3 million and 3.7 million shares of common stock for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Options and unvested restricted stock to purchase 0.3 million and 4.0 million shares of common stock for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

6. RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER CHARGES

During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, Lionbridge recorded $1.2 million of restructuring, and other charges, which included restructuring charges of $1.0 million for workforce reductions in Europe, Asia and North America consisting of 13 technical staff and 1 sales staff. $0.1 million of restructuring charges representing additional costs recorded for a previously vacated facility in order to reflect changes in initial estimates of a sublease arrangement due to current economic conditions, acquisition costs of $0.2 million and $0.1 million of accretion related to the contingent consideration from the VSI acquisition in 2012. These charges were offset by reductions in expense related to changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration of $0.1 million from the E5 acquisition in 2013 and deferred consideration of $0.1 million from the acquisition of PRI in 2012. All facility charges, $0.6 million of workforce charges, acquisition costs and the change in fair value of PRI deferred consideration relate to the Company’s GLC segment. Workforce charges of $0.3 million, the VSI contingent consideration accretion and the change in fair value of the E5 contingent consideration relate to the Company’s GES segment. The Company made $1.2 million of cash payments in the six month period ended June 30, 2014, which related to the GLC and GES segments.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, Lionbridge recorded $2.0 million of restructuring and other charges. The $1.1 million of restructuring charges recorded in the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 included $0.9 million for workforce reductions in Europe, the Americas and Asia consisting of 12 technical staff, 7 administrative staff and 8 sales staff, and $0.2 million of additional costs recorded for a previously vacated facility in order to reflect changes in initial estimates of a sublease arrangement due to current economic conditions. The Company made $1.7 million of cash payments in the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 all of which related to the GLC operating segments. The remaining $0.9 million of other charges recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013 relate to the Company’s engagement in strategic initiatives and a true-up of the contingent acquisition liability fair value from the VSI acquisition.

The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, by category (in thousands):

At June 30, 2014, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet includes accruals totaling $2.7 million primarily related to employee termination costs and vacated facilities. Lionbridge currently anticipates that $1.2 million of these will be fully paid within twelve months. The remaining $1.5 million relates to lease obligations on unused facilities expiring through 2026 and is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

7. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The tax provision for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 consisted primarily of taxes on income in foreign jurisdictions, interest, and penalties recorded in relation to the Company’s uncertain tax positions. The tax provision for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 consisted primarily of taxes on income in foreign jurisdictions, interest, and penalties recorded in relation to the Company’s uncertain tax positions.

The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2014, not including interest and penalties, was $3.6 million, which, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. Lionbridge also recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. At June 30, 2014, Lionbridge had approximately $1.4 million of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company conducts business globally and in the normal course of business is subject to examination by local, state and federal jurisdictions in the United States as well as in multiple foreign jurisdictions. Currently, no Internal Revenue Service audits are underway and audits in Canada, Finland, France, Poland, and India are in varying stages of completion. Open audit years are dependent upon the tax jurisdiction and range from 2006 to present.

At June 30, 2014, no provision for U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes has been made for unrepatriated foreign earnings because it is expected that such earnings will be reinvested indefinitely.

Lionbridge’s management has evaluated the positive and negative evidence as it relates to the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Under the applicable accounting standards, management has considered Lionbridge’s history of losses and concluded that, with the exception of certain foreign tax jurisdictions, it is more-likely-than-not that Lionbridge will not

generate sufficient future taxable income to benefit from the tax assets prior to their expiration. Accordingly, full valuation allowances have been maintained against those tax assets. As a result, no income tax benefit has been recorded for the losses incurred in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Lionbridge has determined that its operating segments are those that are based on its method of internal reporting, which separately presents its business based on the service performed. The Company is reporting its results among the following three business segments:

GLC—this segment includes solutions that enable the translation, localization and worldwide multilingual release of clients’ online content, sales and marketing information, products and related technical support and training materials to meet the language, cultural, technical and industry-specific requirements of customers in local markets throughout the world. As part of its GLC solutions, Lionbridge also provides global marketing services, and provides engineering, technical documentation and drafting services for clients who market to and support customers in global markets. Lionbridge GLC solutions utilize the Company’s cloud-based technology platforms and applications, its global crowd of qualified professional linguists, translators and in-country specialists and its global service delivery model, which make the translation, localization and content management processes more efficient for Lionbridge and its clients.

GES—formerly referred to as GDT, this segment includes Lionbridge’s services related to testing clients’ software, websites, mobile applications and hardware utilizing a cost-efficient, blended on-site and offshore model. The GES segment also includes Lionbridge’s specialized business process crowdsourcing services including search relevance testing, in-country testing for mobile devices, and data management solutions. Lionbridge’s business process crowdsourcing solutions combine a dedicated crowd of pre-qualified, in-country professionals, Lionbridge’s secure, task management platform and Lionbridge’s proven program management expertise. This combination enables Lionbridge to align the appropriate combination of skill, capability and geography to meet each client’s requirements.

Interpretation—this segment includes interpretation services for government and business organizations that require experienced linguists. Lionbridge provides interpretation communication services in more than 360 languages and dialects, including on-site interpretation, over-the-phone interpretation and interpreter testing, training, and assessment services.

The Company’s internal reporting does not include the allocation of certain expenses to the operating segments but instead includes those other expenses in unallocated corporate and other expense. Unallocated expenses primarily include corporate expenses, such as interest expense, restructuring, impairment and other charges, foreign exchange gains and losses and governance expenses, as well as finance, information technology, human resources, legal, treasury and marketing expenses. The Company determines whether a cost is charged to a particular business segment or is retained as an unallocated cost based on whether the cost relates to a corporate function or to a direct expense associated with the particular business segment. For example, corporate finance, corporate information technology and corporate human resource expenses are unallocated, whereas operating segment finance, information technology and human resource expenses are charged to the applicable operating segment.

9. GOODWILL, ACQUISTION-RELATED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, AND OTHER LONG LIVED ASSETS

Lionbridge assesses the impairment of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events or conditions could include an economic downturn in the industries to which Lionbridge provides services; increased competition; an increase in operating or other costs; additional volatility in international currencies; the pace of technological improvements; or other information regarding Lionbridge’s market value, such as a reduction in stock price to a price near or below the book value of the Company for an

Table of Contents

extended period of time. When Lionbridge determines that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based upon one or more of these indicators of impairment, the Company initially assesses any impairment using fair value measurements based on projected discounted cash flow valuation models and the market approach. In addition, goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. At December 31, 2013, the Company performed its annual test of goodwill to determine if an impairment existed. This test determined that each reporting unit’s fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value of the net assets of each respective reporting unit, using projected discounted cash flow modeling and the market approach. As a result, no impairment was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no events or changes in circumstances during the six months ended June 30, 2014 which indicated that an assessment of the impairment of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets was required.

The Company evaluates whether there has been impairment in the carrying value of its long-lived assets if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment may exist. Impairment in the carrying value of an asset is assessed when the undiscounted expected future operating cash flows derived from the asset grouping are less than its carrying value. If it is determined that the asset group is impaired then it is written down to its estimated fair value. Factors that could lead to an impairment of its long-lived assets include a worsening in customer attrition rates compared to historical attrition rates, lower than initially anticipated cash flows associated with customer relationships, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, identification of other impaired assets within a reporting unit, disposition of a significant portion of an operating segment, significant negative industry or economic trends, significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period and a decline in our market capitalization relative to net book value.

Intangible assets arose from acquisitions made prior to 2011 and the acquisitions of Productive Resources, LLC (“PRI”) in June 2012, Virtual Solutions, Inc. (“VSI”) in November 2012, E5 Global Holdings, Inc. (“E5”) in October 2013 and Darwin Zone, S.A. (“Darwin”) in May 2014. Intangibles arising from acquisitions made prior to 2011 are being amortized using an economic consumption method over an estimated useful life of; (i) 3 to 12 year for customer relationships, (ii) 3 to 5 years for customer contracts and (iii) 1 to 4 years for acquired technology. Intangibles arising from the acquisitions of PRI, VSI, E5 and Darwin are being amortized over a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of; (i) 5 to 10 years for acquired technology, (ii) 2 to 12 years for customer relationships, (iii) 1 to 5 years for non-compete agreements and (iv) 1 to 2 years for trademarks.

The following table summarizes acquisition-related intangible assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively (in thousands):

10. ACQUISITIONS

Darwin Zone, S.A.

On May 16, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Darwin Zone, S.A. (“Darwin”) for $2.4 million in cash, (including the effect of working capital adjustments). Darwin, a provider of digital marketing solutions, is included in the Company’s Global Language and Content (“GLC”) operating segment. The acquisition expands the Company’s delivery model for cost efficient digital marketing solutions in the Central America region.

The total acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was estimated at $2.4 million. The assets and liabilities associated with Darwin were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date and the amounts as follows:

 

Cash

   $ 36   

Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables

Intangible assets acquired totaling $0.8 million include customer relationships of $0.7 million, a non-compete agreement executed by a key employee (“the Non-Competition Agreement”) of $0.1 million and a trade name of $44 thousand.

The estimated fair value attributed to the customer relationships was determined based upon a discounted cash flow forecast. Cash flows were discounted at a rate of 16%. The fair value of the customer relationships will be amortized over a period of 5 years on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits of the acquired customer list are expected to be realized. The fair value of the Non-Competition Agreement will be amortized over 5 years on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits of the non-compete agreement is expected to be realized.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is primarily the result of expected synergies. None of the goodwill or identifiable intangibles associated with this transaction will be deductible for tax purposes.

Transaction costs related to this acquisition were approximately $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and are included in restructuring, impairment and other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Since the date of the acquisition, May 16, 2014, the Company has recorded $0.5 million of revenue attributable to Darwin within its consolidated financial statements. The proforma results of operations including Darwin as if it were acquired at the beginning of all periods presented were not material to the consolidated operating results of the Company in either period presented.

E5 Global Holdings, Inc.

On October 2, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of E5 Global Holdings, Inc. (“E5”), a U.S.-based privately-held provider of application development and testing solutions with a track record of providing secure, high-quality testing services using a China-based delivery model. The acquisition enables the Company to expand its presence in China, meet growing demand for integrated onshore and offshore solutions and access E5’s long-standing relationships with clients in the hospitality and financial services industries. The results of operations of E5 are included in the Company’s results of operations from the date of acquisition. E5 is included in the Company’s GES operating segment.

The Company made an initial cash payment of approximately $1.4 million at closing with an additional $0.2 million of deferred purchase consideration due on the first anniversary of the closing date. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the former owners of E5 would also be eligible to receive additional cash consideration up to $2.2 million, contingent on the fulfillment of certain revenue-based financial conditions during the two years ended September 30, 2015. Using a discounted cash flow method, the Company recorded an estimated liability related to the earn-out of $0.3 million as of the acquisition date and as of March 31, 2014. On June 30, 2014, the Company and the former owners agreed to the early release of the $0.2 million of deferred consideration. The parties also agreed to satisfaction in full of the Company’s obligations with respect to any contingent payments that may become due in the future in exchange for payment, on June 30, 2014, of $0.2 million to the former owners. As a result of the early payment of the contingent payment for $0.2 million, the Company recorded $0.1 million reduction in expense in restructuring, impairment and other charges in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that Lionbridge uses to measure fair value, as well as the assets and liabilities that the Company values using those levels of inputs.

 

Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Lionbridge did not have any financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2014 designated as Level 1.
Level 2:    Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. As a result of the PRI acquisition in 2012 Lionbridge acquired a $2.0 million promissory note, using an interest rate similar to quoted market rates for a similar liability, to be paid in three installments and matures in June 2015.

Table of Contents
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Lionbridge has contingent and deferred consideration assumed as a result of the VSI and E5 acquisition of $2.0 million and $3.1 million designated as Level 3 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company’s contingent purchase consideration is valued by probability weighting expected payment scenarios and then applying a discount based on the present value of the future cash flow streams. This liability is classified as Level 3 because the probability weighting of future payment scenarios is based on assumptions developed by management. The Company determined a probability weighting that is weighted towards VSI achieving the revenue target at the time of acquisition and the discount rate that is based on the company’s weighted average cost of capital which is then adjusted for the time value of money. The probability weighting has been adjusted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as the actual results provide the Company with more reliable information to weight the probability scenarios. This adjustment resulted in a $99 thousand increase to the contingent consideration during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The actual results have been consistent with the original assumptions. The discount rate and factor have remained consistent during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company believes that any probable changes during future periods to these assumptions will not have a material effect on the contingent considerations. On June 30, 2014 the former owners of E5 agreed to the satisfaction in full of the Company’s contingent payment obligations. This resulted in a $133 thousand decrease to the contingent consideration during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which will replace numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. For the Company, the standard will be effective in the first quarter of 2017. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the potential changes from this ASU to its future financial reporting and disclosures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements that involve risks or uncertainties. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but are based on various assumptions by management regarding future circumstances many of which Lionbridge has little or no control over. A number of important risks and uncertainties, including those identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in Lionbridge’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 14, 2014 (SEC File No. 000-26933) and subsequent filings as well as risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q could cause Lionbridge’s actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing only, and Lionbridge does not undertake to update or supplement these statements due to changes in circumstances or otherwise, except as required by law.

As part of its GLC solutions, Lionbridge also provides global marketing services, and provides engineering, technical documentation and drafting services for clients who market to and support customers in global markets. Lionbridge GLC solutions utilize the Company’s cloud-based technology platforms and applications, its global crowd of qualified professional linguists, translators and in-country specialists and its global service delivery model, which make the translation, localization and content management processes more efficient for Lionbridge and its clients. Through its Global Enterprise Solutions (“GES”) solutions, Lionbridge tests software and online search results to help clients deliver high-quality, relevant applications in global markets. The Company’s GES solutions ensure the quality, usability, relevance and performance of clients’ software, search engines, technology products, web applications, and content globally. As part of its GES offering, Lionbridge also provides specialized business process crowdsourcing services including search relevance testing, in-country testing for mobile devices, and data management solutions.

Lionbridge provides interpretation services for government, business and healthcare organizations that require experienced linguists. Lionbridge provides interpretation communication services in more than 360 languages and dialects, including onsite interpretation, over-the-phone interpretation and interpreter testing, training, and assessment services.

Lionbridge provides a full suite of globalization solutions to businesses in diverse end markets including technology, internet and media, manufacturing, mobile and telecommunications, life sciences, government, automotive, aerospace and retail. Core to all Lionbridge solutions is the Company’s Global Customer Lifecycle (“GCL”) framework that addresses the complexities global organizations face in providing a more optimized experience for their global customers. Using the GCL approach, Lionbridge believes its services enable clients to gain market share, build loyalty and speed adoption of products and content in their international markets.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, Lionbridge’s income from operations was $5.2 million, with a net income of $3.8 million. For the three month period ended June 30, 2013, Lionbridge’s income from operations was $5.1 million, with a net income of $3.5 million. For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, Lionbridge’s income from operations was $7.3 million, with a net income of $5.7 million. For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, Lionbridge’s income from operations was $3.2 million, with a net income of $0.5 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $206.3 million.

A significant portion of Lionbridge’s revenue is derived from Microsoft, representing 23% of the Company’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As a result of current reorganization efforts by Microsoft the Company expects revenue from them to decrease in the second half of 2014 as compared to the first half of 2014. A significant portion of Lionbridge’s cost of revenue and operating expenses are recorded in entities which utilize the Euro or other currencies as their functional currency, while the majority of its revenues are recorded in U.S. Dollars. As such, certain segments of Lionbridge’s business, its GLC segment in particular, are sensitive to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies, particularly the Euro. The average value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro weakened approximately 5% from the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Approximately 31% of the Company’s revenue was denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Approximately 32% of its revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, as compared to approximately 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. A fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates primarily affects revenue in the GLC segment. The foreign currency translation impact on our results, if material, is described in further detail under the “Results of Operations” section below.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $130.5 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 6%, from $123.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This period-over-period increase in total revenue was due to a $7.4 million increase in the GLC segment being partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in the GES segment.

Table of Contents

Revenue from the Company’s GLC segment increased $7.4 million, or 9%, to $87.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $80.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This was the result of an increase in demand for the Company’s solutions and a $2.0 million increase related to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies, primarily the Euro.

Revenue from the Company’s GES segment decreased $0.4 million, or 1%, to $36.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $37.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily related to decreased volume on a large multi-year program with Microsoft. The GES segment has a number of large client programs that sometimes experience periods of high growth during initial ramp-up phases when a program begins and may experience slight variations in volume when the program subsequently enters a maintenance phase. Revenue in the GES segment is not materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Revenue from the Company’s Interpretation segment increased $0.1 million, or 2%, to $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, due to slightly increased volume from an existing client. Revenue in the Interpretation segment is not materially impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $250.7 million, an increase of $13.7 million, or 6%, from $237.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This period-over-period increase in total revenue was due to a $16.2 million increase in the GLC segment being partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in the GES segment.

Revenue from the Company’s GLC segment increased $16.2 million, or 11%, to $169.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $152.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This was primarily the result of an increase in demand for the Company’s solutions and a $3.5 million increase related to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies, primarily the Euro.

Revenue from the Company’s GES segment decreased $2.4 million, or 3%, to $70.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $72.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily related to decreased volume on a select large multi-year program with Microsoft. The GES segment has a number of large client programs that sometimes experience periods of high growth during initial ramp-up phases when a program begins and may experience slight variations in volume when the program subsequently enters a maintenance phase. Revenue in the GES segment is not materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Revenue from the Company’s Interpretation segment decreased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to slightly decreased volume from a major existing client, experienced primarily during the first quarter of 2014. Revenue in the Interpretation segment is not materially impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, cost of revenue increased $5.6 million, or 6.7%, to $89.9 million as compared to $84.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to a $2.7 million increase in variable outsourcing costs to support the increase in revenue, a $2.0 million unfavorable currency translation impact as the U.S. Dollar weakened relative to the Euro and a $1.2 million or 3% increase in employee-related compensation costs, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in other costs of revenue.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 68.8% as compared to 68.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This unfavorable increase was primarily due to lower margin work mix within the GES segment when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, cost of revenue in the Company’s GLC segment increased by $4.5 million, or 8.3%, to $58.7 million as compared to $54.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily the result of a $2.7 million or 11% increase in variable outsourcing costs attributable to higher project volumes, a $0.1 million or less than 1% increase in employee-related compensation costs, and a $1.7 million unfavorable foreign currency translation impact as a result of the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Company’s GLC segment decreased to 66.9% as compared to 67.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of increased revenue volumes.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, cost of revenue in the Company’s GES segment increased $0.8 million, or 3.0%, to $26.0 million as compared to $25.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase was attributable to a $0.9 million or 7% increase in employee-related compensation costs and a $0.3 million unfavorable foreign currency translation impact as a result of the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in variable outsourcing costs.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Company’s GES segment increased to 70.9% as compared to 68.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This was due to the aforementioned decrease in revenue.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, Interpretation cost of revenue increased $0.4 million, or 7.4%, to $5.2 million as compared to $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to increased variable third party outsourcing costs resulting from a less favorable mix of telephonic interpretation versus on-site interpretation. The Company’s Interpretation segment is not materially impacted by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue in the Company’s Interpretation segment increased to 83.9% as compared to 80.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

The Company recognized a $0.2 million expense in other expense, net, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to an expense of $0.6 million during the corresponding period of the prior year. The Company recognized a $0.1 million gain in other expense, net, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to a loss of $0.9 million during the corresponding period of the prior year. The variations are due to differences among the Euro and other currencies against the U.S. Dollar in the periods, as compared to the net position and variance during the corresponding periods of the prior year.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s United States operations generated a profit of $0.2 million before income taxes as compared to a profit of $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The Company’s foreign operations generated income before income taxes of $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $2.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. A significant portion of the Company’s operating costs are incurred outside the United States and a majority of its foreign affiliates are subject to cost-plus based transfer pricing agreements which generally results in a certain level of foreign operating profits based on the performance of routine functions for customer contracts. The positive trend experienced in the Company’s foreign operations’ results from the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to the period ended June 30, 2014 is the controlled internal costs of sale coupled with revenue growth.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s United States operations broke even before income taxes as compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of revenue growth coupled with controllable costs of sales. The Company’s foreign operations generated income before income taxes of $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to a profit of $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. A significant portion of our operating costs are incurred outside the United States and a majority of our foreign affiliates are subject to cost-plus based transfer pricing agreements which generally results in a certain level of foreign operating profits based on the performance of routine functions for customer contracts. The positive trend experienced in the Company’s foreign operations’ results from the six month period ended June 30, 2013 to the six month period ended June 30, 2014 is the controlled internal costs of sale coupled with revenue growth.

Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes consists primarily of taxes resulting from profits in foreign jurisdictions, and interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. The tax provision increased from $0.8 million to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of the prior year. The tax provision increased from $1.4 million to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same six month period in the prior year. The tax provision change year over year is primarily due to the foreign profits mixes, which are subject to tax by the foreign jurisdictions due to the treatment of the foreign subsidiaries as service providers that earn a profit based on a cost-plus model.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In general, cash and net assets held outside of the United States are not legally restricted from being transferred to the United States in order to assist with debt repayment, domestic capital expenditures and other working capital requirements of the U.S. parent company, Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. However, the Company does not intend to transfer any such funds to the U.S. as its domestic sources of cash from operations are sufficient to fund its operations, debt servicing and other liquidity needs. In the event that a transfer did occur, such funds would be subject to applicable local withholding taxes and U.S. taxes in certain circumstances.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.6 million which consisted of $2.7 million in share repurchases, $1.3 million of deferred consideration paid related to the VSI and PRI acquisitions and $84,000 of debt issuance costs being partially offset by $0.6 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under option plans. During the period the Company borrowed and repaid $4.5 million under its revolving line of credit.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $3.8 million which consisted of $3.8 million in share repurchases, $0.6 million of contingent consideration paid related to the VSI acquisition, partially offset by $0.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under option plans. During the period the Company borrowed and repaid $9.6 million under its revolving line of credit.

On October 30, 2012, Lionbridge’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchasing program for up to $18.0 million over three years. During the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase Lionbridge common shares with a total value up to $6.0 million per year, subject to certain market rate conditions. Since inception, the Company has repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares at a cost of $7.9 million.

Lionbridge anticipates that its present cash and cash equivalents position and available financing under its Credit Agreement should provide adequate cash to fund its currently anticipated cash needs for the at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations

On March 26, 2014 the Company amended the existing lease for our corporate headquarters in Waltham, MA (the “7th Waltham Amendment”). The amendment extends the term of the lease to 2025. Future minimum lease payments related to the 7th Waltham Amendment are approximately $19.4 million.

As of June 30, 2014, there were no material changes in Lionbridge’s contractual obligations as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, excluding related interest and penalties, has remained unchanged during the six months ended June 30, 2014 at $3.6 million.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

New pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 30, 2014 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Lionbridge conducts its business globally and its earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company manages its risk to foreign currency transaction exposure and interest rates through risk management programs that include the use of derivative financial instruments. Lionbridge operates these programs pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies. Lionbridge does not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments substantially offset gains and losses on underlying hedged exposures.

Interest Rate Risk. Lionbridge is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates with respect to its revolving loan facility which bears interest at Prime or LIBOR (at the Company’s discretion) plus an applicable margin based on certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2014, $27.0 million was outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would have less than a $0.1 million impact on the Company’s interest expense based on the $27.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2014 with an interest rate of 1.40%. Lionbridge is exposed to market risk through its investing activities. The Company’s portfolio consists of short-term time deposits with investment grade banks and maturities less than 90 days. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on the carrying value of Lionbridge’s investments due to their immediately available liquidity.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. Lionbridge conducts a large portion of its business in international markets. Although a majority of Lionbridge’s contracts with clients are denominated in U.S. Dollars, 59% and 61% of its costs and expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies, primarily operating expenses associated with cost of revenue, sales and marketing and general and administrative. In addition, 14% and 15% of the Company’s consolidated tangible assets were subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, while 19% and 16% of its consolidated liabilities were exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In addition, net inter-company balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity were approximately $49.3 million and $34.8 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The principal foreign currency applicable to the Company’s business is the Euro. The Company has implemented a risk management program that partially mitigates its exposure to assets or liabilities (primarily cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and inter-company balances) denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entity which includes the use of derivative financial instruments principally foreign exchange forward contracts. These foreign exchange forward contracts generally have less than 90-day terms and do not qualify for hedge accounting under the ASC 815 guidance. The Company had no foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2014.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Lionbridge maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15). Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2014.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements that involve risks or uncertainties. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but are based on various assumptions by management regarding future circumstances many of which Lionbridge has little or no control over. A number of important risks and uncertainties, including those identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in Lionbridge’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 14, 2014 (SEC File No. 000-26933) (the “2013 Annual Report”) and subsequent filings as well as risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, could cause Lionbridge’s actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
