(1) Net loss includes discontinued AV and VS operations.
(2) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is not a standard financial measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA has been provided to more clearly present the financial results that management uses to internally evaluate its business. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure allows investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company’s operating results from continuing operations from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure reported in accordance with GAAP is presented in a separate section at the end of this press release.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, total revenue exceeded the Company’s original guidance, rising 54% to $4.1 million from $2.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, and rose 28% sequentially from $3.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Second quarter 2004 results include revenue from the NuVision base of customers acquired as part of the Company’s strategic alliance with TANDBERG signed in mid-April 2004.

Contractual revenue grew 92% to $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $1.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, and grew 24% sequentially in the second quarter from $2.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The largest component of this revenue category, GlowPoint’s core subscription and related revenue grew 61% to $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $1.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, and grew 4% sequentially in the second quarter from $2.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The average billable subscriber locations driving this growth increased 58% to 1,204 in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 763 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003, and grew 2% sequentially in the second quarter from 1,176 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Average monthly subscription and related revenue per subscriber location of $700 in the second quarter 2004 increased 2% from both the second quarter 2003 level of $688 and the first quarter 2004 level of $690. The second and new component of this revenue category, revenue generated by NuVision customers under contract, totaled $491,000.

Non-contractual revenue of $1.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was relatively consistent with the quarter ended June 30, 2003, but grew 40% sequentially from the first quarter 2004 level of $791,000. This was mainly driven by success the Company has had in penetrating the broadcast market with revenue generating activity, including the NFL and NBA Drafts. NuVision’s portion of non-contractual revenue totaled $328,000 in the second quarter 2004.

 


“This is the third consecutive quarter of sequential double digit revenue growth,” said David Trachtenberg, CEO, GlowPoint. “Under GlowPoint’s new management team, we increased our contractual customer base by 20% and total contractual revenues by 24% over our first quarter this year. We will continue both our ’Back to Basics’ emphasis on making the Company operationally efficient and scaleable as well as our drive to diversify our distribution partners and sales models.” Trachtenberg continued, “Our second quarter performance demonstrates that consistent focus on these activities is driving top line growth and bottom line margin improvement.”

Gross margins grew to $831,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $70,000 in the year ago quarter, and grew 71% sequentially in the second quarter from $485,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Gross margin expansion resulted from sales of the higher margin “All You Can See” unlimited video calling plans and improvements to operational efficiencies. In addition, gross margins on the NuVision business were higher than originally forecasted and amounted to 30% in the second quarter. Prior guidance on improvements to reach the 35% gross margin target for the Company’s core subscription business has been updated from the fourth quarter 2004 to early 2005.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 rose 34% to $4.08 million from $3.05 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003, but remained relatively flat from the first quarter 2004 level of $4.04 million, as the Company leveraged the existing operating expense base to generate the higher revenue levels of the second quarter.

EBITDA from continuing operations of ($1.6) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 improved $354,000, or 18%, from the first quarter 2004 level of ($1.9) million as a result of the expansion in gross margins in the second quarter and leveraging of the operating expense base.

The Company ended the second quarter of 2004 with $10.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and escrowed cash and no long term debt on its balance sheet. The Company continues to believe that it has the financial resources to reach its cash-flow break-even point. Achievement of this mark is now targeted in the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to results from the Company’s historic distribution partner as highlighted in its June 4, 2004 guidance announcement.

“These positive changes to our operational and financial metrics are important because they translate into an improved customer experience, an improved sales partner experience – and for shareholders, important momentum toward our breakeven goals for the Company,” Trachtenberg continued. “After nine months at GlowPoint, I speak from experience. We have the right technology, business model, management team and sales partners to create a growing base of satisfied customers and growing value for our shareholders.”

(3) Those customers that are under contract and that are generating recurring revenue.
(4) Calculated as total contractual revenue divided by the number of contractual customers, divided by three, then multiplied by 1,000.
(5) Calculated as the weighted average number of billable subscriber locations, based on the number of days a location was on the network during each respective period.
(6) Calculated as subscription and related revenue divided by average billable subscriber locations, divided by three, then multiplied by 1,000.
(7) Represents the Company’s estimate of billable subscriber locations under contract, but not yet generating revenue for the Company, at the end of the periods shown. This estimate assumes no material changes that would precipitate a customer from canceling a contract. The Company can give no assurance as to whether these contracts will be executed. While the Company may, from time to time, issue updated guidance with respect to its subscriber location backlog, it assumes no obligation to do so.
(8) Calculated by dividing revenues less variable costs of revenue by revenue.
