NEW YORK, May 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- deltathree, Inc. (OTCBB:DDDC), a well-known provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) hosted communications solutions for resellers, end-users and service providers, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2009 ended March 31, 2009.
Mr. Effi Baruch, interim Chief Executive Officer and President, and Senior Vice President of Operations and Technology of deltathree, stated, "Our first quarter 2009 financial results are highlighted by several important financial achievements, as deltathree returned to top-line sequential revenue growth and reported material improvements in reducing the company's GAAP (as defined below) net loss (as well as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss). The company's financial performance improvements are a direct result of our strategic initiatives focused on stabilizing and growing our core international VoIP reseller solutions business as well as materially reducing company-wide operating expenses and improving profitability. deltathree also made significant progress in terms of improving its quarterly cash utilization and operating cash flow performance. At quarter end, total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments rose to $2.9 million, as the company strengthened its balance sheet following the net receipt of $1.07 million in cash related to the closing of the recently-announced equity transaction with D4 Holdings, LLC.
"Overall, we are pleased with the progress made during the first quarter and we believe that these results establish a solid foundation upon which to leverage our improved operating efficiencies going forward," concluded Mr. Baruch.
For the first quarter 2009, deltathree reported total revenues of $5.3 million compared to $4.6 million in the fourth quarter 2008 and $5.4 million in the first quarter 2008. The primary drivers behind the 13% rise in deltathree's sequential revenue growth were increased sales associated with the company's core international reseller business and a one-time customer payment of approximately $0.2 million. Excluding the positive impact of the one-time customer payment, deltathree generated an 8% rise in sequential revenue growth.
First quarter 2009 GAAP net loss totaled $0.4 million, or $(0.00) per diluted share, including extraordinary legal expenses totaling approximately $0.2 million. GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was $2.8 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, including a $0.4 million expense for restructuring costs.
First quarter 2009 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) loss was $0.1 million, or $(0.00) per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.8 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, for the first 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, telecom tax adjustment, non-cash 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 March 31, 2009, deltathree held approximately $2.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, with no outstanding debt. The sequential increase cash reflects the net receipt of $1.07 million in cash upon the closing of the equity transaction with D4 Holdings, LLC.
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.
