Globecomm Systems Reports Fiscal 2010 First Quarter Financial Results

Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:GCOM), a leading global provider of satellite-based communications infrastructure solutions and services, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2010 first quarter ended September 30, 2009. Globecomm is reporting its financial results on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis as well as reporting adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. In the attached table the Company provides a detailed reconciliation of GAAP earnings to adjusted EBITDA. A summary of the Company's results are:

-- Service revenues increased 52.0% to a record $28.6 million as compared to $18.8 million in the same period last year.

-- Revenues from infrastructure solutions decreased by 19.0% to $19.1 million as compared to $23.5 million in the same period last year.

-- Consolidated revenues increased to $47.7 million as compared to $42.4 million in the same period last year.

-- GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.06 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.04 in the same period last year.

-- Adjusted EBITDA was $4.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to $3.0 million in the same period last year.

Fiscal Year 2010 First Quarter Results

Revenues for the Company's fiscal 2010 first quarter increased 12.6% to $47.7 million compared to $42.4 million in the same period last year. Revenues from services increased 52.0% to a record $28.6 million as compared to $18.8 million in the same period last year. The increase in service revenue was primarily driven by the Company's acquisitions of Mach 6 and Telaurus, which combined contributed $8.2 million, coupled by an increase in access services. Revenues from infrastructure solutions decreased by 19.0% to $19.1 million compared to $23.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease in infrastructure solution revenues was primarily caused by the global economic slowdown resulting in government and commercial customers and prospects delaying projects, which affected, in particular, pre-engineered systems.

Net income for the Company's fiscal 2010 first quarter increased to $1.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2010 increased to $4.0 million as compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Management's Review of Results and Expectations

David Hershberg, Chairman and CEO, said "The first quarter of fiscal 2010 represented the Company's 22nd consecutive profitable quarter and results were as planned. We finished the quarter with approximately $50 million of cash and zero debt. Continued profitability and a strong balance sheet allow us to invest in various technology platforms, strengthen the management team and review potential strategic acquisitions as we continue to round out our product and service offerings in various vertical markets. The year is shaping up as planned and we look forward to continued profitability."

Keith Hall, President and COO, added "It was an exciting three months in my new role as President and COO during which time I have been focused on the execution of our financial plan and our managed network services strategy. Toward these goals, I am pleased with the progress being made to unify the vision of the infrastructure and service business segments. The team executed well in achieving our first quarter results, including strong contract renewals which has set the stage for continued success in the coming quarters. We are also pleased with the integration and positive results of our most recent acquisition, Telaurus. All in all, a very good start to the year and we look forward to continued success in the execution of our plan."

Management's Current Expectations for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2010

Globecomm currently expects the following financial results for the fiscal year 2010:

-- Consolidated revenues to be between $215 and $225 million.

-- Service segment revenues to be approximately $125 million.

-- GAAP earnings per diluted share to be between $0.30 and $0.35.

-- Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $20 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which represents net income before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization expense and non-cash stock compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows as defined by GAAP. Globecomm discloses adjusted EBITDA since it is a financial measure commonly used in its industry. Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical financial position and operating performance on a more consistent basis. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA in measuring performance relative to that of our competitors and in evaluating acquisition opportunities. Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered a substitute or replacement for net income as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliation between adjusted EBITDA and GAAP net income is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company's business and make operating decisions.
