San Francisco, CA and Bridgewater, NJ—(BUSINESS WIRE)—January 9, 2007— Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNCR), the leading software provider of electronic order management solutions to the communications services marketplace announced today that its ActivationNow® platform has been selected by Cingular to provide transaction order management to activate and provision the new Apple iPhone.
The ActivationNow software platform automates, synchronizes and simplifies electronic service fulfilment and order management of advanced converged devices and network services, wireless, IP, and wireline services across communication service provider networks.
Stephen Waldis, president and CEO of Synchronoss Technologies, said “Providing the software enablement platform that connects the must have device for music fans with the largest wireless carrier in the United States is a significant milestone. Both of these companies are known for outstanding and easy-to-use products and services, and we are excited to be involved in this powerful combination.”
Waldis added, “As part of what could be one of the most important developments for the wireless industry in 2007, Synchronoss is enabling the launch of convergent devices and network services via our ActivationNow® platform. This is significant for Synchronoss because it not only represents an additional driver to our Cingular-related revenue, but also because it is a major step forward in our efforts to move our ActivationNow platform up the stack.”
Based on continued progress at existing customers and a solid pipeline of new opportunities, the company also announced that it is reiterating its forecast for 2007, which calls for total revenue of approximately $99 million to $100 million, or growth of approximately 37-38%, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.44 to $0.48. The respective growth rates in 2007 assume fourth quarter 2006 revenue of $20.2 million to $20.5 million, or growth of approximately 35-37%, and non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.11 to $0.12.
Fourth quarter 2006 estimates are preliminary in nature and subject to change based on the completion of the company’s quarterly close process. Non-GAAP earnings per share estimates for the fourth quarter 2006 and full year 2007 exclude the impact of stock-based compensation.
Larry Irving, chief financial officer of Synchronoss, said, “Our fourth quarter performance was solid, highlighted by strong revenue growth and efficiency levels that were again better than our expectations. We are optimistic about our expanding market opportunity and today’s announcement increases our confidence in the robust growth and profitability forecast that we previously provided for 2007.” Irving added, “We currently plan to update our 2007 financial guidance on our fourth quarter conference call in February, at which time we expect to have a better understanding of how this relationship will impact our business.”
