iPass Reports Sequential Revenue Growth in the Second Quarter 2014(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/11/14 -- iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), the global Wi-Fi roaming leader for enterprises and telecom service providers, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. Total revenue, including the Unity business that was sold on June 30, 2014, was $25.5 million, compared with $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $28.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. Open Mobile revenue for the second quarter was $14.4 million compared with $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. "In addition to sequential revenue growth, we grew total Mobility services revenue for the first time since we launched OM in 2010," said Evan Kaplan, president and chief executive officer of iPass. "Network Wi-Fi revenue from our enterprise customers grew more than 10% over the prior quarter as our business traveler marketing initiatives are generating real traction. Equally exciting, we are creating new and cost effective ways to purchase Wi-Fi supply which we expect will translate into opportunities to leverage ramping usage and contribute meaningfully to our bottom line." On June 30, 2014, iPass completed the sale of its Unity Managed Network Services business unit referred to as the "Unity business" for $28.2 million to Tolt Solutions, subject to a final working capital adjustment. Accordingly this quarter, iPass will focus its results primarily on its continuing operations. The company also announced today it has filed an 8-K regarding a restructuring plan that it has implemented effective August 11, 2014 to re-align its costs structure as a result of the divestiture of its Unity business. Total Revenue from continuing operations for the second quarter 2014 was $17.8 million compared with $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.7 million (including approximately $4.1 million of tax benefit which represents the Company's ability to utilize net operating losses to offset tax associated with the gain on the sale of the Unity business), compared with $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter of 2014 was $3.4 million compared with $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been recast to exclude net income and related adjustments for discontinued operations. Q2 Highlights - Continuing Operations Thirteenth sequential quarter of OM revenue growth since launching the product over 3 years ago. OM Wi-Fi network users grew to 80,000, a 13% increase over the prior quarter. OM active platform users grew to 753,000, an 11% increase over the prior quarter. Launched its cloud-based Business Traveler Service 2.0 utilizing a Software-as-a-Service delivery model and automation techniques, coupled with an app-based approach to simplify the end user experience. Exited the quarter with several recently signed network access supply agreements with existing vendors that significantly improve our go-forward buying terms as iPass moves to a megabyte-based purchasing model in certain markets. Given the growing proliferation of outdoor, community, residential, and small business access points and coverage zones, with this quarter we will begin reporting the total number of hotspots that our supply network covers. Our global footprint currently has access to over 13 million hotspots which includes the traditional business traveler commercial locations such as hotels, convention centers, airports, airplanes, and trains, but also comprises public access and community locations where Wi-Fi seeking devices can access the iPass network.

Cautionary Information About Forward-Looking StatementsThe statements in this press release regarding iPass' business traveler marketing initiatives are generating real traction, iPass is creating new and cost effective ways to purchase Wi-Fi supply which will translate into opportunities to leverage ramping usage and contribute meaningfully to its bottom line, and iPass' projections of its third quarter 2014 financial results under the caption "Q3 2014 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 "End of Life" of iPass' legacy Mobile Office product may negatively impact customer retention and mobility revenues more than iPass expects; the risk that the Open Mobile platform and Open Mobile Exchange will not continue to achieve the market acceptance iPass expects; the risk of material reductions in iPass customers' existing minimum commitments more than iPass currently expects; 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 at the rate iPass expects; the risk that demand for Mobility Services does not grow as iPass expects; the risk that strong competition in the market for Mobility Services could reduce demand for iPass' services; and the risk that a meaningful portion of iPass business is international, which subjects iPass to additional risks such as currency fluctuations. Detailed information about these and other risk factors that could potentially affect iPass' business, financial condition and results of operations are included in iPass' Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2014, 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. In addition, investors and others should note that iPass announces material financial information to its investors using its investor relations website, SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. iPass also uses social media to communicate with its customers and the public about iPass, its products and services and other matters relating to its business and market. It is possible that the information iPass posts on social media could be deemed to be material information. Therefore, iPass encourages investors, the media, and others interested in iPass to review the information it posts on U.S. social media channels including the iPass Twitter Feed, the iPass LinkedIn Feed, the iPass Google+ Feed, the iPass Facebook Page, the iPass Blog, the iPass Instagram account, the iPass Pinterest account and Evan Kaplan's Twitter Feed. These social media channels may be updated from time to time. Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release also contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). iPass considers Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of the company's performance that is not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, net income from discontinued operations, and certain state sales and federal tax charges. 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. Furthermore, iPass believes the use of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors: 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 may use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA 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.
