PRESS RELEASE
deltathree Reports Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
New York, NY – November 12, 2009 – deltathree, Inc. (OTCBB: DDDC.OB), a well-known provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) hosted communications solutions for service providers, resellers and end-users, today announced financial results for the third quarter 2009 ended September 30, 2009.
Mr. Effi Baruch, interim Chief Executive Officer and President, and Senior Vice President of Operations and Technology of deltathree, stated, “The third quarter of 2009 was highlighted by significant progress towards our objective of reaching near-term breakeven profitability, as we made further improvements in reducing our quarterly GAAP net loss, as well as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss, on a sequential and year-over-year basis. Our quarterly results reflect the full benefit of our cost reduction and operating efficiency measures as they show further signs of paying off in a measureable way.”
“Our service provider enabling business strategy, focused on deploying innovative, differentiated and higher value VoIP solutions is gaining traction, most recently with a pair of milestone contracts in the global digital voice and video phone market. During the third quarter of 2009 we secured an agreement to be the service provider for digital voice and video phone services in Australia for ACN Pacific Pty Ltd, a division of ACN, Inc. This customer win marked deltathree’s entrance into the global video phone services market. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter we followed up with an agreement to provide digital voice and video phone services throughout the United States to WorldGate Communications, a leading provider of next generation video phones. This agreement is targeted for launch in the beginning of the first quarter of 2010 and is expected to help grow our revenue as we look ahead to 2010.”
“As the widespread availability of worldwide broadband Internet access grows, we are seeing rising demand for integrated voice and video communications. Our ability to customize, implement and rapidly launch digital next generation communications offerings, with minimal risk and investment for our service provider clients, supports our unique positioning to capitalize on these trends. Overall, we stand focused on fostering new service provider contracts in order to drive revenues and gross margins, while leveraging the streamlined expense base we have put in place,” concluded Mr. Baruch.
For the third quarter of 2009, deltathree reported total revenues of $4.8 million in line with the $4.8 million reported in the third quarter of 2008.
Third quarter 2009 GAAP net loss totaled $0.4 million, or $(0.01) per basic share. GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2008 was $4.0 million, or $(0.12) per basic share, including the impact of a $3.1 million in expense for the write-down of certain intangible assets acquired by deltathree in its acquisition of Go2Call.
Third quarter 2009 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) loss was $0.1 million, or $(0.00) per basic share, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.3 million, or $(0.01) per basic share, for the third quarter 2008.
deltathree defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before restructuring costs, restatement of the deferred revenue liability, the write-off of goodwill and non-cash intangible assets, stock-based compensation, interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. deltathree uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the company’s operating trends. The adjusted EBITDA numbers presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, the non-GAAP measures in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.
As of September 30, 2009, deltathree held approximately $2.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, with no outstanding debt, negative working capital equal to approximately $1.1 million and negative stockholders’ equity equal to approximately $0.4 million. While the company’s cost reduction activities are yielding measurable improvements, the company is continuing to draw upon its cash reserves on a monthly basis. Together with deltathree’s Board of Directors, management is actively reviewing strategic and capital initiatives aimed at strengthening its balance sheet and remedying its negative working capital situation in the near-term.
Adjusted EBITDA Financial Disclosure
Investors are cautioned that adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, it should not be construed as an alternative to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the company’s operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that it fails to address. Adjusted EBITDA financial information is presented because deltathree believes that it is helpful to some investors as one measure of the company’s operations. deltathree cautions investors that non-GAAP financial information such as adjusted EBITDA, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare deltathree’s results with the results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
