iPass Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/07/12 -- iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), the global Wi-Fi services and enterprise mobility leader, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012. "We saw strong growth in deployments and usage of our Open Mobile Enterprise offering in the first quarter, as customer adoption and scaling of the new platform is on the rise," said Evan Kaplan, president and CEO of iPass. "Open Mobile active monetized users grew by 150% from December to more than 135,000. We believe these encouraging results are just the beginning as we expect nascent smartphone and tablet penetration into our user base to be a strong growth driver going forward. We also are seeing strong traction in our OMX business as new carriers and mobile operators continue to sign agreements, further enhancing our strategic value and solidifying our market-leading position of enabling global Wi-Fi roaming." "On the strength of our Open Mobile growth we delivered another quarter of platform revenue growth, despite the anticipated decline of legacy-driven network revenue," said Steven Gatoff, senior vice president and CFO of iPass. "We were pleased that continued strong expense and working capital management in the first quarter yielded Adjusted EBITDA income and an increase in cash to a balance of $25.8 million at quarter end." iPass reported revenues of $33.3 million for Q1 2012, compared to $34.4 million in Q4 2011 and $36.4 million in Q1 2011. iPass reported a net loss of $1.3 million for Q1 2012, compared to a net income of $0.3 million for Q4 2011 and a net loss of $1.5 million for Q1 2011. Adjusted EBITDA income was thirty-three thousand dollars for Q1 2012, compared to Adjusted EBITDA income of $1.2 million in Q4 2011 and Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.9 million in Q1 2011.

Grew the iPass global Wi-Fi Network to more than 780,000 Wi-Fi hotspots in 118 countries, including more than 3,000 airport hotspots, more than 60,000 hotels and convention centers, and over 657,000 retail and small business locations, increasing the breadth of the largest worldwide commercial-grade Wi-Fi footprint and authentication fabric to support the unique asset value and increased utility of its Open Mobile services. Increased Momentum and Traction with iPass Open Mobile Exchange (iPass OMX): Strong continued traction building-out the iPass OMX ecosystem with new platform relationships with key carrier partners including mobile operators, telecommunication service providers, resellers and mobile virtual network operators.

Recently released a new Wide Area Network product offering with significantly faster speeds over MPLS services called iPass MultiLink Connect which offers enterprises a fully-managed, highly available WAN IP VPN solution and that provides a strong foundation for retail or branch office Wi-Fi networks.

Cautionary Information About Forward-Looking StatementsThe statements in this press release regarding customer adoption and scaling of the new platform being on the rise; iPass' expectation that its encouraging results are just the beginning and that nascent smartphone and tablet penetration into its user base will be a strong growth driver going forward; iPass seeing strong traction in its OMX business as new carriers and mobile operators continue to sign agreements further enhancing its strategic value and solidifying its market-leading position; and iPass' projections of its second quarter 2012 financial results under the caption "Q2 2012 Guidance" 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 following: the risk that the Open Mobile platform and Open Mobile Exchange will not achieve the market acceptance iPass expects; the risk that iPass customers and partners may not be willing to agree to minimum purchase and resale commitments at the rate iPass expects; the risk of material reductions in iPass customers' existing minimum commitments; the risk that iPass carrier and channel partners do not successfully market iPass services to their customers; the risk that iPass does not accurately predict usage for its Enterprise Flat Rate price plan which could result in iPass expenses exceeding revenues for these plans; the risk that iPass customers do not widely deploy iPass Open Mobile on smartphones, tablets and other mobile handheld devices; the risk that demand for mobility services does not grow as iPass expects; the risk of facing strong competition in the market for mobility services and managed network services; the risk that iPass fails to address market requirements, evolving standards and technological changes in the mobility services industry; and the risk that a meaningful portion of iPass business is international which subjects iPass business to additional risks. Detailed information about these and other risk factors that could potentially affect iPass' business, financial condition and results of operations are included in iPass' 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and available at the SEC's Web site at www.sec.gov and the company's website at http://investor.ipass.com. iPass undertakes no responsibility to update the information in this press release if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be an inaccurate prediction of the actual results. 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). In addition to iPass' GAAP results, the company also considers Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of the company's performance that is not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to net 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 defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, restructuring charges, certain state sales and federal tax charges, and one-time non-recurring/discrete items. The company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful comparison between its core operating results, on a consistent basis, over different periods of time. Accordingly, management uses this financial measure for evaluating and making operating decisions and for purposes of comparison with its strategic plan, operating budgets and allocation of resources. Adjusted EBITDA is also a component of the company's incentive compensation plan. Furthermore, the company believes the use of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors for several reasons, including; 1) To 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) To provide consistency and enhance investors' ability to compare the company's performance across financial reporting periods; and 3) To facilitate comparisons to the operating results of other companies in the company's industry, which use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.
