Exhibit 99.1

April 17, 2019
Limelight Networks Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2019
Q1 Revenue of $43.3 million
Q1 GAAP EPS of $(0.07) and Non-GAAP EPS of $(0.04)
Cash and marketable securities of $38.7 million
Confirming full year guidance
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW) (Limelight), a leading provider of edge cloud services, today reported revenue of $43.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, down 17 percent, compared to $52.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. Currency negatively impacted year-over-year comparison by $0.3 million.
Limelight reported a net loss of $8.6 million, or $(0.07) per basic share for the first quarter of 2019, compared to net income of $0.1 million, or break-even per basic and fully diluted share in the first quarter of 2018.
Non-GAAP net loss was $5.1 million or $(0.04) per basic share for the first quarter of 2019, compared to non-GAAP net income of $6.2 million, or $0.06 per basic share in the first quarter of 2018.
EBITDA was negative $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to positive $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to positive $11.0 million for the first quarter of 2018.
Limelight ended the first quarter with 562 employees and employee equivalents, down from 563 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, and up from 544 at the end of the first quarter of 2018.
Commenting on the first quarter, Chief Executive Officer, Robert Lento said, “We entered 2019 expecting that first quarter financial results would mark the low point for the year, but would set the foundation for our best year ever across many financial and operational measures. Results were largely in line with our expectations as we invested heavily in opportunities that we believe will yield significant revenue in the second half of 2019. With the first quarter now behind us, we expect 2019 to show meaningful sequential improvement going forward, and our year-over-year growth rate in both percentages and actual dollars should be our best in many years.
“The industry and our business is seeing demand pick up, and we are expanding our footprint and building capacity and capability to meet this global demand. To that end, customer churn showed significant improvement, pipeline growth of opportunities with both new and existing customers was very good, organic expansion of our network and conversion of Ericsson's PoPs picked up pace, Limelight Realtime Streaming received widespread recognition, and edge computing continued to attract mega trials. This traction gives us confidence to confirm our full-year guidance.”
Based on current conditions, our full-year 2019 guidance is unchanged, and is as follows:

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 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) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and litigation expenses. We believe that EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other (income) expense, and income tax expense (benefit). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and litigation expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures because, collectively, they provide valuable information on



Exhibit 99.1

the performance of our on-going operations, excluding non-cash charges, taxes and non-core activities (including interest payments related to financing activities). These measures also enable our management to compare the results of our on-going operations from period to period, and allow management to review the performance of our on-going operations against our peer companies and against other companies in our industry and adjacent industries. We believe these measures also provide similar insights to investors, and enable investors to review our results of operations “through the eyes of management.”
Furthermore, our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to assist them in making decisions regarding our strategic priorities and areas for future investment and focus.
The terms Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA 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 U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation costs, including provision for litigation and litigation expenses;
these measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
these measures 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 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 Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:
