CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–July 24, 2013 – Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leading cloud platform for helping enterprises provide secure, high-performing user experiences on any device, anywhere, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013. Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $378 million, a 14 percent increase over second quarter 2012 revenue of $331 million, or up 18 percent adjusted for the Advertising Decision Solutions (ADS) divestiture.
Net income in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, for the second quarter of 2013 was $62 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, a 13 percent decrease from the prior quarter’s GAAP net income of $71 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, and a 40 percent increase over second quarter 2012 GAAP net income of $44 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
The Company generated non-GAAP net income* of $84 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013, a 10 percent decrease from the prior quarter’s non-GAAP net income of $93 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, and a 25 percent increase over second quarter 2012 non-GAAP net income of $67 million, or $0.37 per diluted share.
Both GAAP and non-GAAP net income results for the second quarter of 2013 include a $9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, benefit from the change in our depreciation methodology effective on January 1, 2013.
“Akamai delivered a strong second quarter, achieving the high end of our guidance range for both the top and bottom line,” said Tom Leighton, CEO of Akamai. “We were especially pleased with the strong growth in our performance and security solutions, and we continue to invest in both sales capacity and innovation in an effort to drive further growth in this important area.”
Adjusted EBITDA* for the second quarter of 2013 was $166 million, in line with the prior quarter, and up from $143 million in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin* for the second quarter of 2013 was 44 percent, down a point from the prior quarter and up a point from the same period last year.
Cash from operations for the second quarter of 2013 was $130 million, or 34 percent of revenue. At the end of the second quarter of 2013, the Company had over $1.1 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Sales through resellers and sales outside the United States accounted for 20 percent and 29 percent, respectively, of revenue for the second quarter of 2013.
Share Repurchase Program
During the second quarter of 2013, under a share repurchase program that was extended by the Board of Directors in February 2013, the Company spent approximately $42.5 million repurchasing 1.1 million shares of its common stock, at an average price of just over $39 per share. The Company has $77 million remaining on its current authorization, which runs through January 31, 2014.
The Company had approximately 178 million shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2013.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), Akamai provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP). Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate Akamai’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and capital expenditures, as discussed below.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Akamai’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in its business, as they exclude expenses and gains that may be infrequent, unusual in nature and not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of the Company’s GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, the
Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Akamai has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in its financial reporting to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. This reconciliation captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” can be found on the Investor Relations section of Akamai’s website.
The non-GAAP adjustments, and Akamai’s basis for excluding them from non-GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:
• | Amortization of acquired intangible assets – Akamai has incurred amortization of intangible assets, included in its GAAP financial statements, related to various acquisitions the Company has made. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and term of its related amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition. Therefore, Akamai excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets to provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-acquisition operating results. |
• | Stock-based compensation and Amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation– Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation to Akamai’s employees and executives, the expense varies with changes in the stock price and market conditions at the time of grant, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. This makes the comparison of the Company’s current financial results to previous and future periods difficult to interpret. Therefore, Akamai believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation in order to better understand the performance of the Company’s core business performance and to be consistent with the way the investors evaluate its performance and comparison of its operating results to peer companies. |
• | Restructuring charges (benefits) – Akamai has incurred restructuring charges and benefits, included in its GAAP financial statements, primarily due to workforce reductions and estimated costs of exiting facility lease commitments. Akamai excludes these items when evaluating its continuing business performance as such items are not consistently recurring and not do reflect expected future operating expense, nor provide meaningful evaluation of current and past operations of its business. |
• | Acquisition related costs (benefits) – Acquisition related costs and benefits include transaction fees, due diligence costs and other one-time direct costs associated with strategic activities. In addition, subsequent adjustments to the Company’s initial estimated amount of contingent consideration associated with specific acquisitions are included within acquisition related costs and benefits. These amounts are impacted by the timing and size of the acquisitions. Akamai excludes acquisition related costs and benefits to provide a useful comparison of the Company’s operating results to prior periods and to its peer companies because such amounts vary significantly based on magnitude of its acquisition transactions. |
• | Gain and other activity related to divestiture of a business – Akamai recognized gains associated with the divestiture of its Advertising Decision Solutions business. In addition, subsequent adjustments to the fair value of the convertible note receivable received in the transaction are included as other activity related to the divestiture of its Advertising Decision Solutions business. Akamai excludes gains and other activity related to divestiture of a business because sales of this nature occur infrequently and are not considered part of the Company’s core business operations. |
• | Income tax-effect of non-GAAP adjustments – The non-GAAP adjustments described above are reported on a pre-tax basis. The income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is the |
difference between GAAP and non-GAAP income tax expense. Non-GAAP income tax expense is computed on non-GAAP pre-tax income (GAAP pre-tax income adjusted for non-GAAP adjustments) and excludes certain discrete tax items (such as recording or release of valuation allowances), if any. Akamai believes that applying the non-GAAP adjustments and their related income tax effect allows the Company to more properly reflect the income attributable to its core operations. |
