REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/13/13 -- iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), the global Wi-Fi roaming leader for enterprises and telecom service providers, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.
"We're encouraged by the solid continued progress we're making on growing the Open Mobile business and are pleased with achieving an important milestone where Open Mobile users now comprise more than 50% of our business," said Evan Kaplan, president and CEO of iPass. "In addition, we continue to experience growth in our smartphone and tablet-driven Wi-Fi network users and early 2013 results show a strong trajectory in OM smartphone and tablet adoption. There's tremendous excitement and momentum in the Wi-Fi market and iPass is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the huge growth in global demand for Wi-Fi roaming."
"We were pleased to have grown our Open Mobile revenue in the fourth quarter by approximately 20% over Q3 and continue to see the path to Wi-Fi network revenue growth," said Steven Gatoff, senior vice president and CFO of iPass. "We enter 2013 with a strong user base and solid Open Mobile growth that positions us for revenue growth and overall adjusted EBITDA profitability for the full year 2013."
iPass reported revenues of $29.7 million for Q4 2012, compared to $30.8 million in Q3 2012, GAAP net loss of $1.5 million for Q4 2012, compared to a GAAP net loss of $0.8 million for Q3 2012 and Adjusted EBITDA of negative $0.1 million for Q4 2012, compared to positive $0.7 million for Q3 2012.
KEY OPERATING METRICS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
iPass continues to focus the business and drive momentum on the growing adoption of the Open Mobile platform and related Wi-Fi network users as the legacy products and usage are replaced or eliminated.
The following key operating metrics speak to the drivers and progress that the company has achieved in Q4 2012 with the Open Mobile business.
Open Mobile (OM) User Growth:
- Grew Open Mobile Wi-Fi network users as a percentage of total Wi-Fi network users from 36% for the month of September, 2012 to 49% for the month of December, 2012. This caps a year of significant OM Wi-Fi network user growth, and drives toward the important cross-over of OM users outweighing legacy users. OM Wi-Fi network users were 8% of total Wi-Fi network users for the month of December, 2011.
- Grew Open Mobile platform active monetized users by more than 30% sequentially, to end Q4 with approximately 380,000 users for the month of December, 2012. Continuing its growth, OM represented approximately 60% of the total number of Active monetized platform users for the month of December, 2012.
- Grew Open Mobile smartphone and tablet Wi-Fi network users as a percentage of total OM Wi-Fi network users from 21% for the month of September, 2012 to 24% for the month of December, 2012. This represents an annual growth of 60% as the company entered 2012 with smartphone and tablet Wi-Fi network users representing less than 15% of total OM Wi-Fi network users.
Mobility Services Revenue Traction:
- Grew Open Mobile revenue by approximately 20%, to $9.1 million in Q4 2012, representing approximately 43% of total Mobility Services revenue, from 34% in Q3 2012 and 12% in Q4 2011.
- Grew Open Mobile network revenue by more than 24% or nearly $1 million over Q3 2012.
- Delivered the seventh sequential quarter of growth in total Open Mobile revenue and Open Mobile Wi-Fi network revenue. OM Wi-Fi network revenue grew by approximately 25% over Q3 2012.

Q1 2013 GUIDANCE
Realignment of Legacy Resources
iPass today announced its implementation of a plan to re-align its cost structure to focus investments, resources and operating expenses on the company's growing Open Mobile business. The company is shifting spending away from legacy iPC business to OM growth through such initiatives as smartphones and tablets and growing Wi-Fi network coverage and quality to position iPass for long-term growth and scale. As a result of the realignment, iPass expects to reduce its workforce by less than 5% and expects to record in the aggregate, approximately $0.9 million of restructuring charges during the first quarter of 2013.
For the first quarter of 2013 ending March 31, 2013, iPass anticipates total revenue and adjusted EBITDA income (loss) to be in the following ranges:
Total Revenue $28 - 32 million
Adjusted EBITDA Income / (Loss) (1) $(2.0) - (0.5) million
(1) A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA income (loss) to GAAP net loss is
provided in the attached schedules. The guidance for Adjusted EBITDA
income (loss) for the first quarter of 2013 does not include the impact
of any foreign exchange gains or losses or restructuring charges.

Cautionary Information About Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this press release regarding iPass' expectations and belief that demand for its smartphones and tablet-driven Wi-Fi network users continue to grow, that it is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the huge growth in global demand for Wi-Fi roaming, that it continues to see the path to Wi-Fi network revenue returning to growth, that it is positioned for revenue growth and overall adjusted EBITDA profitability for the full year of 2013, and iPass' projections of its first quarter 2013 financial results under the caption "Q1 2013 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 the legacy Mobile Office product may negatively impact customer retention and mobility revenues; 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 more than iPass currently expects; 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 that strong competition in the market for mobility services and managed network services could reduce demand for iPass' services; the risk that iPass fails to address market requirements, evolving standards and technological changes in the mobility services industry, which could reduce demand for iPass' services; and the risk that a meaningful portion of iPass business is international, which subjects iPass business 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 7, 2012, 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 also contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company 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, 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, the company 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 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.
