Limelight Networks(R) Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2015

• Revenue of $43.8 million and GAAP $0.06 net loss per basic share

• Non-GAAP net loss of $0.04 per basic share

• $75million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities

• 2015 revenue guidance raised to between $170 and $174 million

Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW) (Limelight), a global leader in digital content delivery, today reported revenue of $43.8 million for the second quarter which ended June 30, 2015, compared to $41.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of six percent.

During the second quarter of 2014, revenue from Netflix was $5.4 million. Revenue was also negatively impacted in the second quarter of 2015 by changes in foreign currency of approximately $1.0 million. Adjusting for the impact of these items, revenue increased by 25 percent period over period and 4 percent sequentially.

GAAP gross margins were 41.4% in the second quarter of 2015, up 300 basis points from 38.4% in the second quarter of 2014. Effective April 1, 2015, we reorganized job responsibilities of certain employees from cost of services to research and development, on a prospective basis. This reorganization resulted in approximately $0.75 million, or 170 basis points, of improvement in gross margin period over period.

On a GAAP basis, Limelight reported a loss from continuing operations of $6.4 million, or $0.06 per basic share, for the second quarter of 2015, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $7.1 million, or $0.07 per basic share, in the second quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP net loss was $4.1 million, or $0.04 per basic share, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3.6 million, or $0.04 per basic share, in the second quarter of 2014.

EBITDA from continuing operations was negative $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to negative $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2014.

Limelight ended the second quarter with 563 employees, up from 533 employees at the end of the first quarter of 2015, and up from 477 employees in the year ago period.

Based on current conditions, for the full-year 2015, Limelight is raising revenue guidance to between $170 and $174 million from our previous guidance provided last quarter of between $164 and $170 million.  Non-GAAP net loss is now expected to be between $0.10 and $0.16 per share, compared to guidance provided last quarter of a net loss of between $0.08 and $0.18 per share. Capital expenditures for the full-year 2015 are expected to be between $22 and $26 million.  Third quarter 2015 revenue is expected to be between $42 and $44 million. In the third quarter of 2014 Netflix revenue was $1.2 million.

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Officer, Robert Lento said, “We’ve had a strong first half and are focused on achieving continuing revenue growth and margin improvement, and a reduction in cash usage for the second half. I’m very pleased with the improved second quarter performance. Robust revenue growth and the continuing and meaningful improvements in our gross margin, coupled with disciplined control over our expenses, helped deliver one of the best quarterly results in our recent history."

He added, “Over the last eight quarters, we’ve established Limelight as a trusted partner for our customers, offering enhanced products, improved network performance and a better response to their needs to help them grow, compete and thrive. We are in the early stages of realizing the full potential of our financial performance and we will continue to work hard to make meaningful improvements from here.”

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 from continuing operations 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) without the effects of share-based compensation, litigation defense expenses, amortization of intangible assets, discontinued operations and the gain (loss) on sale of our web content management (WCM) business. We define EBITDA from continuing operations as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) before interest and other (income) expense, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, discontinued operations and gain (loss) on sale of WCM. We believe that EBITDA from continuing operations provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA from continuing operations adjusted for share-based compensation

Exhibit 99.1

and litigation defense expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors’ use of operating performance comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.

The terms Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or United States GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with United States GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA from continuing operations 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 United States GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

• EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• they do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation costs;

• they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;

• they 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 from continuing operations 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 EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:
