• | Record non-GAAP adjusted earnings of $11.8 million or $0.19 per share.

The Company recently secured several significant new customer engagements, including a global leader in medical devices, a leading UK-based publishing company, a Fortune 150 industrial electronics company, a market leader in robotics and a global financial information firm.
“Our positive second quarter results indicate strengthening demand across our business. While our largest client continued to be down year-on-year, they grew notably sequentially from Q1. And we expect growth from this client in the second half. At the same time, we continue to diversify our business across vertical markets, secure new wins in marketing services and scale our new onDemand translation platform,” said Rory Cowan, CEO of Lionbridge. “We enter the second half of the year with confidence. Revenue momentum continues to build. Revenue from our largest client is returning. We are beginning to see the early synergies related to our CLS acquisition. As a result, we expect a strong second half of 2015 for both revenue and earnings with ongoing expansion in 2016.”
During the quarter the Company was recognized as one of “America’s 100 Most Trustworthy Companies” by Forbes for the second consecutive year. The Company also recently was named as the world’s largest language services company by Common Sense Advisory (CSA), an independent market research firm for the fourth consecutive year.
Lionbridge provided outlook for the third quarter of 2015 with estimated revenue of $145-147 million, which would reflect year-on-year growth of 21-22% as compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, the Company's adjusted earnings 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. “Adjusted earnings” and “Adjusted Earnings per Share (EPS)” 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 these measures are net income and diluted net income per share and has provided a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share at the end of this release.
