TEMPE, Ariz. -- Limelight Networks (Nasdaq:LLNW), a leading content delivery network (CDN) for digital media, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

For the second quarter of 2007, Limelight Networks reported GAAP revenue of $21.2 million and non-GAAP revenue of $24.7 million, representing growth of 43% and 67%, respectively, over the $14.8 million of revenue the company reported in second quarter of 2006. The company reported a second quarter GAAP loss per diluted share of $(0.23) and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.00. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $4.4 million compared to $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2006. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financials is provided in the table below.

"We achieved numerous milestones and executed well on our plan to establish Limelight Networks as the premier content delivery and enablement partner for businesses desiring to deliver rich media assets such as video, music, games, software and social media over the Internet," commented Jeff Lunsford, chairman and chief executive officer. Operating highlights in the quarter include:

  • capitalizing the business with over $200 million in growth capital raised in an IPO, provisioning us with over $187million in cash and marketable securities on June 30, 2007 after paying down debt;

  • achieving new business bookings more than double those achieved in the second quarter of 2006;

  • the addition of 149 net new customers in the quarter, bringing total customers up to 876 on June 30, 2007;

  • the hiring of 14 enterprise sales reps into a growing worldwide sales force, bringing total quota-carry representatives up to 58 at the end of June; and

  • an increase of total network egress to a capacity of approximately 1.4 terabits per second, positioning the company as a scale leader in servicing the high-growth and high-traffic publishers' Internet content.

Limelight Networks also disclosed an expanded 5-year individual customer arrangement pursuant to which Limelight Networks will provide custom CDN consulting services and will continue its content delivery services. Additionally, Limelight and the customer agreed to cross-license certain technologies, including certain components of Limelight's CDN software. This contract is a multi-element arrangement, which required a change, beginning in the second quarter, in how Limelight accounts for revenue from consulting, as well as the company's standard content delivery services delivered to this customer. Because of the nature of the contract with this customer and the company's consequent revenue recognition, the company has determined that it will present both GAAP and non-GAAP revenue and earnings amounts to help illustrate the impact of this contract.

"We believe Limelight Networks is well positioned," commented Lunsford, "to grow our business as broadband Internet access continues to propagate around the world, as content delivery shifts from analog to digital networks and as consumers' content consumption preferences shift to the online channel."
