LIONBRIDGE REPORTS Q2 RESULTS WITH RECORD REVENUE OF $144.2 MILLION,
GAAP EPS OF $0.07 AND NON-GAAP EPS OF $0.14

Delivers 6% Sequential Quarter Revenue Growth and Generates $7.8 Million Cash Flow from Operations

WALTHAM, Mass. August 04, 2016 - Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX), today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Financial highlights for the second quarter include:
Record revenue of $144.2 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 6%, compared to the first quarter of 2016 and a year-on-year increase of $428,000 as compared to the second quarter of 2015.
GAAP net income of $3.9 million, or $0.07 per share, based on 59.3 million weighted average fully diluted common shares outstanding. GAAP net income increased $3.6 million, or $0.06 per share, sequentially compared to the first quarter of 2016. GAAP net income decreased $1.6 million, or $0.02 per share, year-on-year primarily due to a tax variance of $2.0 million, or $0.03 per share, and an unfavorable variance of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, in non-operating “other expense” related to the currency effect of balance sheet revaluations.
Non-GAAP adjusted earnings of $8.3 million or $0.14 per share, an increase of $2.7 million or $0.05 sequentially compared to the first quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings declined $3.5 million, or $0.05 per share, year-on-year primarily due to the same unfavorable tax and non-operating “other expense” variances referenced above. Please see the section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the attached table for details and reconciliations of this measure to the comparable GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA of $13.7 million, a sequential increase of $3.3 million as compared to the first quarter of 2016 and essentially flat year-on-year as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Please see the section of this release entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the attached table for details and reconciliations of this measure to the comparable GAAP measure.
Cash flow from operations of $7.8 million, a 53% improvement from the second quarter of 2015.
An ending cash balance of $25.5 million.
The Company repurchased 740,000 shares of its common stock in Q2 for an aggregate purchase price of $3.3 million. Year-to-date through June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 2.6 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $11.8 million.

The Company recently secured several significant new customer engagements, including a leading online education and training company, a large insurance provider, a leader in voice and data communications, a Danish construction planning company and an online games company. 

“In the first half of 2016 we completed the reorganization of our worldwide sales and operations around target sectors and geographies. Despite the disruption of this reorganization and some weakness in Europe in the quarter, we continued to ramp our marketing services offering, scale our onDemand platform and expand our revenue in growth verticals,” said Rory Cowan, CEO of Lionbridge.  “We enter the second half in a position of operational strength. Our market-based reorganization is complete and we have enabled a more efficient cost structure to drive ongoing profitability and cash flow. As a result, we expect strong earnings for the remainder of this year and further revenue and earnings growth in 2017.”

Lionbridge provided outlook for the third quarter of 2016 with estimated revenue of $135-141 million, reflecting traditional Q3 seasonality, slower demand in Europe and potential impact of Brexit.
Lionbridge management will conduct a conference call at 9:00 a.m. ET this morning to discuss financial performance for the quarter and other matters, including matters related to its future performance. To participate, callers within the United States can dial 800-369-2197 and international callers can dial 630-395-0177. The pass code for the call is “Lionbridge”. The conference call will also be available live via this link.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, the Company's adjusted EBITDA, 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 the Company’s fundamental business activities. In particular, management believes that adjusted EBITDA, which excludes anticipated non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains, provides investors with a consistent comparison of the Company’s operating results, and that adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share illustrates the Company’s operating results excluding non-cash acquisition related expense items and other restructuring expenses as well as non-cash stock based compensation and thus provides a supplemental view of the Company’s financial performance based on underlying operational factors. “Adjusted EBITDA”, “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 uses these measures as part of its evaluation of operational results and to make financial and operational decisions, including decisions regarding compensation. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings is net income and believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for adjusted EPS is diluted net income per share of common stock. Accordingly, management has provided a detailed reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their respective comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

Lionbridge's actual experiences, actions, financial and operating results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include the timing of the realization of any synergies associated with acquisitions and other cost reduction initiatives; the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, including the impact of Brexit, on revenue, margins, costs, operating results and profitability and the Company's ability to successfully manage this exposure through hedge instruments and other strategies; its ability to provide and maintain high quality services at a competitive price and related customer satisfaction with such service delivery; the loss of or reduction in demand from one or more major client or customer, which would materially affect Lionbridge’s business; Lionbridge’s ability to expand its relationships with existing clients; Lionbridge’s ability to broaden its client base; the Company's dependence on clients' product releases, production schedules and procurement strategies to generate revenues; the anticipated benefits of expansion of global language workflow technologies; the impact of competing language technology on the Company's existing customer relationships and ability to secure new customers; the ability of Lionbridge to realize the expected benefits of its technology initiatives and acquisitions and the timing of the realization of such benefits; errors, interruptions or delays in cloud-based technology; breaches of security measures; the termination of customer contracts or engagements prior to the end of their term; the size, timing and recognition of revenue from clients; the ability of Lionbridge to integrate acquisitions and expand its customer relationships and the timing and success of such activities; the portion of the Company's service engagements that are subject to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations; continued uncertainty and volatility in global economic conditions that could negatively affect demand for the Company's services and technologies; reduced demand for the Company’s services that adversely impacts Lionbridge’s future revenues, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition; Lionbridge's ability to perform services in lower cost operational locations and the timing of its transfer of service execution to such locations, and customer acceptance of service execution in such locations; risks associated with conducting business outside of the United States, including compliance with changing and potentially conflicting laws and regulations and expenses and delays associated with any such activities; longer collection cycles in particular jurisdictions; risks associated with competition; Lionbridge's ability to forecast revenue, profitability, technology adoption, customer demand and operating results; changes in tax rates applicable to the Company and changes to the interpretations of applicable tax rates; changes in interpretation of statutory and regulatory positions by international tax authorities in countries in which Lionbridge conducts business; changes in interpretation of employment and tax positions by U.S. state and federal authorities as well as similar authorities outside of the U.S.; the failure of Lionbridge to keep pace with technological changes or changing customer needs; the risk of claims by third parties of intellectual property claims; the ability of Lionbridge to respond to fluctuations in the complexity, timing and mix of services required by customers; and Lionbridge being held liable for defects or errors in its service offerings.
