iPass Reports First Quarter 2008 Financial Results
iPass Reports First Quarter 2008 Financial Results
Broadband Revenues Represent 50% of Total Revenues; Broadband, Software and Service Fee Represent 76% of Total Revenues
iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), a global
provider of services that unify the management of enterprise mobility,
today announced financial results for its first quarter March 31, 2008.
"Our continued shift to a balanced revenue model gained greater traction,
showing the strength of business, as broadband, software and service fee
revenues increased 38% over the prior year quarter," said Ken Denman,
Chairman and CEO of iPass. "A full 76% of our total revenues in the quarter
were from these growth businesses, compared to 57% for the same period last
year as we transition beyond our legacy dial business."
In the first quarter iPass exceeded its cost reduction goals, reducing
combined non-stock compensation network operations, R&D and SG&A operating
expenses by $3.5 million. Also in the first quarter, the company launched
its iPassConnect(TM) mobility service that allows U.S. businesspeople to
purchase global Wi-Fi and 3G access combined into a single service direct
from iPass. The company also added 10 new Forbes Global 2000 customers to
its rolls, and now claims 427 of these highly-coveted companies as users of
its services.

During the first quarter, iPass added key broadband venues in Japan, India,
Argentina and Brazil to its global broadband network. iPass users now have
access to broadband coverage in 84 of the world's top 100 airports, and
coverage in a total of 559 airports worldwide. iPass has the world's
largest multi-technology virtual network which now has more than 100,000
active broadband roaming locations (Wi-Fi hotspots and hotel Ethernet) as
well as support for 3.5G, 3G and 2.5G mobile broadband in the U.S., Europe
and Asia, and dial-up in more than 160 countries.
"Our gross margins were 57 percent during the quarter, reflecting the
decline in higher-margin dial revenues, the effects of a weaker U.S. dollar
which impact our network access charges priced in local currencies, and an
increase in end-user usage on networks that are either lower margin or do
not yet benefit from volume pricing. We are actively working to address
each of the issues affecting gross margin," said Denman.
Share Repurchase Program - The company's board of directors approved a $30
million share repurchase plan in February 2008. During the period January
1, 2008 through March 31, 2008, the company repurchased approximately $3.2
million of its common stock, representing approximately 1.1 million shares
at an average cost of $2.90 per share.
Company Outlook
The following statements are based on information available to iPass today,
and iPass does not assume any duty to update these numbers at any time
during the quarter or thereafter. These statements are forward looking, and
actual results may differ materially.
For the quarter ending June 30, 2008, iPass projects revenue of
approximately $47 million to $50 million, fully diluted GAAP earnings
(loss) per share of approximately ($0.01) to ($0.04) and fully diluted
non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.00 to $0.03. The difference
between the projected fully diluted GAAP loss per share and the projected
fully diluted non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.04 is based
on expected FAS 123R stock-based compensation of $1.5 million dollars and
the expected amortization of intangibles of $1.1 million in the second
quarter of 2008 which, when divided by an expected 62 million fully diluted
shares outstanding, results in the $0.04 difference.
Conference Call
iPass will host a public conference call today to discuss this announcement
at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time).
The call will be webcast on iPass' web site at http://investor.ipass.com,
and a replay of the webcast will be available on iPass' web site until
iPass reports its second quarter 2008 financial results. A taped replay
will also be available for two weeks following the date of the call. The
dial-in numbers for the taped replay are 1-888-286-8010 (U.S. and Canada)
and 1-617-801-6888 (international). The ID number for the replay call is
14124248.
Cautionary Statements
iPass' projections of its second quarter 2008 financial results under the
caption "Company Outlook," and in this press release are forward-looking
statements. Actual results may differ materially from the expectations
contained in these statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including: the rate of decline in use of narrowband/dial technology as a
means of enterprise connectivity may be faster than iPass predicts; the
risk that iPass will not be able to generate broadband revenues in the
manner expected; rapidly emerging changes in the nature of markets served
by iPass, which may not be compatible with iPass' services; increased
competition, which may cause pricing pressure on the fees iPass charges;
iPass could unexpectedly lose current integrated broadband access points if
one or more current broadband access point providers perceive iPass'
services to be competing with the provider's services in a manner that
renders the relationship with iPass detrimental to the provider; iPass may
not be able to establish additional relationships with broadband access
point providers, including providers of 2.5G/3G Mobile Data, at the level
iPass expects if it is unable to negotiate such relationships on terms
acceptable to both iPass and the providers on the timeframe iPass currently
expects for any number of reasons, including perceived competition with the
providers; if bookings or sales are greater than iPass expects, then
resulting sales commissions and/or other sales related expenses could cause
iPass' non-stock compensation expenses in the second quarter to be greater
than currently expected; and iPass may not be able to generate revenue
from new services if market acceptance of those new services is not as
iPass expects. Detailed information about potential factors that could
potentially affect iPass' business, financial condition and results of
operations is included in iPass' Annual Report on Form 10-K under the
caption "Item 1A Risk Factors" in that report, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 17, 2008 and available at the
SEC's Web site at www.sec.gov. iPass undertakes no responsibility to update
the information in this press release if any forward-looking statement
later turns out to be inaccurate.
Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). iPass
management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various
performance measures. In addition to iPass' GAAP results, the company also
considers non-GAAP net income (loss). iPass further considers various
components of non-GAAP net income (loss) such as non-GAAP earnings (loss)
per share and non-GAAP operating income (loss). Non-GAAP net income (loss)
is generally based on the revenues, network access expenses, network
operations, research and development, sales and marketing and general and
administrative expenses management considers in evaluating the company's
ongoing core operating performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of
net income (loss) excluding equity plan-related compensation expenses,
restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, the cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle, and valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets which are charges and gains which management does not
consider reflective of the company's core operating business. Equity
plan-related compensation expenses represent the fair value of all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, as required under SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment" (FAS 123R). Restructuring charges consist of severance and
benefits, excess facilities and asset-related charges, and also include
strategic reallocations or reductions of personnel resources. Intangible
assets consist primarily of purchased technology, trade names, customer
relationships, employment agreements and other intangible assets issued in
connection with acquisitions. Cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle consists of a one-time benefit relating to the adoption of FAS
123R. Management does not consider these expenses to be part of core
operating performance.
For purposes of comparability across other periods and against other
companies in the company's industry, the company reports non-GAAP net
income (loss) as adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit
that the company would accrue using a normalized effective tax rate applied
to the non-GAAP results.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) are
supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, nor
presented in accordance with, GAAP. Moreover, they should not be considered
as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other performance
measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow
from operating activities or as a measure of the company's liquidity. The
company presents non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income
(loss) because the company considers them to be important supplemental
measures of the company's performance.
Management excludes from its non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP
operating income (loss) certain recurring items to facilitate its review of
the comparability of the company's core operating performance on a period
to period basis because such items are not related to the company's ongoing
core operating performance as viewed by management. Management uses
non-GAAP earnings per share as one of the components for measurement of
incentive compensation. Management uses this view of the company's
operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business plan and
individual operating budgets and allocations of resources. Additionally,
when evaluating potential acquisitions, management excludes the items
described above from its consideration of target performance and valuation.
More specifically, management adjusts for the following excluded items:
a) stock-based compensation expense;
b) restructuring charges;
c) amortization charges for purchased technology and other intangible
assets resulting from the company's acquisition transactions;
d) cumulative effect on change in accounting principle;
e) valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
Management adjusts for the excluded items because management believes that,
in general, these items possess one or more of the following
characteristics: their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the
company's control; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the
business in the ordinary course; they are unusual and the company does not
expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business; or they are
non-operational, or non-cash expenses involving stock option grants.
iPass believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures
is warranted for several reasons:
1) Such non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional analytical tool
for understanding the company's financial performance by excluding the
impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating performance
of the business;
2) Since the company has historically reported non-GAAP results to the
investment community, the company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP
numbers provides consistency and enhances investors' ability to compare the
company's performance across financial reporting periods;
3) These non-GAAP financial measures are employed by the company's
management in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in
financial and operational decision making processes, such as budget
planning and forecasting;
4) These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to the
operating results of other companies in the company's industry, which use
similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results, thus enhancing
the perspective of investors who wish to utilize such comparisons in their
analysis of the company's performance.
Set forth below are additional reasons why specific items are excluded from
the company's non-GAAP financial measures:
a) While stock-based compensation calculated in accordance with FAS 123R
constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense of the company, it is not an
expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by the
company. The company therefore excludes these charges for purposes of
evaluating core performance as well as with respect to evaluating any
potential acquisition.
b) Restructuring charges are primarily related to severance costs and/or
the disposition of excess facilities driven by modifications of business
strategy. These costs are excluded because they are inherently variable in
size, and are not specifically included in the company's annual operating
plan and related budget due to the rapidly changing facts and circumstances
typically associated with such modifications of business strategy;
c) Amortization charges for purchased technology and other intangible
assets are excluded because they are inconsistent in amount and frequency
and are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of the company's
acquisition transactions. The company analyzes and measures the company's
operating results without these charges when evaluating the company's core
performance. Generally, the impact of these charges to the company's net
income (loss) tends to diminish over time following an acquisition;
d) Cumulative effect on change in accounting principle is excluded because
it is inconsistent in amount and frequency. iPass analyzes and measures
operating results without this charge when evaluating core performance;
e) Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is excluded because it is
inconsistent in amount and frequency. iPass analyzes and measures operating
results without this charge when evaluating core performance. The charge is
not an expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by
the company;
f) Income tax expense (benefit) is adjusted in the non-GAAP tax-effected
numbers by the amount of additional expense or benefit that the company
would accrue if non-GAAP results were used instead of GAAP results in the
calculation of tax liability, taking into consideration the company's
long-term tax structure.
In the future, the company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial
measures on a tax-effected basis excluding items described above and the
company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP
adjustments described above. Accordingly, exclusion of these and other
similar items in the company's non-GAAP presentation should not be
construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or
non-recurring.
As stated above, the company presents non-GAAP financial measures because
it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool
and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the
company's GAAP results. In the future, the company expects to incur
expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above and expects to
continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures excluding such items. Some
of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP financial measures are:
-- The company's stock option and stock purchase plans are important
components of incentive compensation arrangements and will be reflected as
expenses in the company's GAAP results for the foreseeable future under FAS
123R.
-- Amortization of intangibles, though not directly affecting iPass'
current cash position, represents the loss in value as the technology in
the company's industry evolves, is advanced or is replaced over time. The
expense associated with this loss in value is not included in the non-GAAP
net income (loss) presentation and therefore does not reflect the full
economic effect of the ongoing cost of maintaining the company's current
technological position in the company's competitive industry which is
addressed through the company's research and development program.
-- Other companies, including other companies in iPass' industry, may
calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than the company,
limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

between the company's GAAP and non-GAAP financial results is provided in
this press release. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider
this information strictly as a supplement to the GAAP results that are
contained in this press release and in the company's SEC filings.
