Limelight Networks(R) Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2017

Revenue of $45.4 million, up 4 percent year over year
GAAP gross margin of 47.1%, up 390 basis points, year over year
GAAP EPS of $(0.01) and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.03
Cash and marketable securities of $60.6 million
Raising 2017 revenue, gross margin, Non-GAAP earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA guidance
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW) (Limelight), a global leader in digital content delivery, today reported revenue of $45.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, up four percent compared to $43.6 million in the second quarter of 2016, and up one percent compared to $44.7 million in the first quarter of 2017. Currency headwinds negatively impacted year-over-year comparison by $0.3 million, or one percent.
Gross margin was 47.1% in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 390 basis points from 43.2% in the second quarter of 2016.
On a GAAP basis, Limelight reported a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.01 per basic share, for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $57.9 million, or $0.56 per basic share, in the second quarter of 2016. The second quarter of 2016 net loss included a $54 million provision for litigation related to the settlement of the Akamai lawsuit.
Non-GAAP net income was $2.9 million or $0.03 per basic share, for the second quarter of 2017, compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per basic share, in the second quarter of 2016.
EBITDA was $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to negative $52.4 million for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2016.
Limelight ended the second quarter with 533 employees and employee equivalents, up from 528 employees at the end of the first quarter of 2017, and up from 512 employees in the year ago period.
“Our second quarter results continued to show meaningful year-over year improvements across revenue, margin, profitability and cash flow measures. Our performance improvements have strengthened our financial profile and improved our competitive position. Demand for our capabilities and services is growing and our R&D investments and strategic focus are continuing to gain traction. We continue to pursue numerous internal and external opportunities to accelerate growth and profitability and expect their realization to generate incremental shareholder returns,” said Bob Lento, Chief Executive Officer at Limelight.
“Our solid and consistent first half performance coupled with growing confidence as to our second half outlook, leads us to expect that we can deliver full year 2017 results above our previous guidance. We believe we may deliver close to double digit revenue growth for the two remaining quarters, and along with improving margins and continuing expense discipline, Limelight’s 2017 performance could represent our best year since we became a publicly traded company,” Mr. Lento added. 
Based on current conditions, for the full-year 2017, we are providing the following updates to our previously announced guidance for 2017:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (Non-GAAP) net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be an important indicator of overall business performance. We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be U.S. GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to exclude provision for litigation, share-based compensation, litigation expenses, and amortization of intangible assets. We believe that EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other (income) expense, and income tax expense. We define



Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude provision for litigation, share-based compensation and litigation expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures because, collectively, they provide valuable information on the performance of our on-going operations, excluding non-cash charges, taxes and non-core activities (including interest payments related to financing activities). These measures also enable our management to compare the results of our on-going operations from period to period, and allow management to review the performance of our on-going operations against our peer companies and against other companies in our industry and adjacent industries. We believe these measures also provide similar insights to investors, and enable investors to review our results of operations “through the eyes of management.”
Furthermore, our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to assist them in making decisions regarding our strategic priorities and areas for future investment and focus.
The terms Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation costs, including provision for litigation and litigation expenses;
these measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
these measures do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
other companies may calculate Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:
