Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

-- Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.11 was at the high-end of guidance

-- Business outside of ATT relationship grew 34% on a
year-over-year basis

-- Company adds new programs and transaction types related to ATT
relationship
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNCR), the premier
provider of on-demand transaction management software to Tier One
communication service providers, today announced its financial results
for the second quarter 2008.

Stephen G. Waldis, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Synchronoss, stated, "The company's performance in the second quarter
was in-line with our expectations. Our reported revenue growth in the
quarter and first half of the year was materially impacted by reduced
revenue associated with the Apple iPhone. We have moved forward as a
company and we continue to enjoy a strong relationship with ATT, as
evidenced by the expansion of our relationship in the second quarter
to manage an increased scope of transactions associated with new
programs."

Waldis concluded, "Looking forward, we are excited about
on-boarding a number of new programs in the second half of 2008. As
with any new programs, the timing and initial ramp can be hard to
predict from a short-term perspective. However, we continue to expect
the expansion of our ATT relationship, as well as increased activity
with our other converged services customers, to return the company to
solid sequential revenue growth in both the third and fourth quarters.
Longer-term, we expect continued growth in our ATT business, as well
as an increasingly diversified revenue base as our business outside of
ATT scales. We believe Synchronoss' proven value proposition, strong
technology platform, Tier One customer base and domain expertise
position the company well to capitalize on the increasing trend toward
converged services by communication service providers around the
globe."

For the second quarter of 2008, Synchronoss reported net revenue
of $24.3 million, in-line with the company's previously issued
guidance and as compared to $31.3 million in the second quarter of
2007. The year-over-year decrease was due to a reduction in revenue
related to the Apple iPhone.

Gross profit, including the impact of fair value stock
compensation expense, was $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2008,
representing a related gross margin of 51.2%. Income from operations,
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),
was $3.7 million, including $1.6 million of fair value stock-based
compensation expense. Based on an effective tax rate of 41.2% in the
second quarter of 2008, GAAP net income was $2.6 million and GAAP
diluted earnings per share was $0.08, as compared to $0.16 in the
second quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 was $12.8
million, representing a non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter
of 2008 of 52.5%. Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes fair
value stock-based compensation expense, was $5.4 million in the second
quarter of 2008, representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 22.1%.
Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter was $3.5 million, leading to
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.11, which was at the
high-end of the company's previously issued guidance and compared to
$0.17 in the second quarter of 2007.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in
the financial statement tables included in this press release. An
explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading
"Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Synchronoss had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities
of $94.9 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease compared to the end of
the previous quarter due to approximately $10.4 million in cash used
to repurchase common stock as part of the company's previously
announced share buyback program. The company generated $4.2 million in
cash flows from operations during the quarter, bringing its
year-to-date total to $9.5 million.

Lawrence R. Irving, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, stated,
"We believe the company's financial performance in the second half of
the year will show improvement as compared to the second quarter. Our
focus is on executing against our long-term strategic growth
initiatives and the long-term future of the company. We continue to
enjoy a strong competitive position and financial profile highlighted
by a cash balance of approximately $95 million and non-GAAP operating
margins of over 25%."

Other Highlights

-- Business related to AT&T was approximately $16.2 million in
the second quarter, representing 67% of total revenue as
compared to 72% in the previous quarter and 81% in the second
quarter of 2007.

-- Business outside of the AT&T relationship generated
approximately $8.1 million in revenue during the second
quarter. This represented 33% of total revenue as compared to
28% in the previous quarter and 19% in the second quarter of
2007.

-- Synchronoss' ConvergenceNow(R) platform was selected to enable
the activation and lifecycle management of Time Warner Cable's
triple play offering for online transactions. Specifically,
Synchronoss will support the online activation and
provisioning of triple play services which include Voice, High
Speed Internet and Video, as well as other offerings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Synchronoss has provided in this release selected financial
information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This
information includes historical non-GAAP operating income, net income,
effective tax rate, and earnings per share. Synchronoss uses these
non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial
results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to
GAAP measures, in evaluating Synchronoss' ongoing operational
performance. Synchronoss believes that the use of these non-GAAP
financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in
evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its
financial results with other companies in Synchronoss' industry, many
of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As
noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above exclude fair
value stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation
from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above. As previously
mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been
provided in the financial statement tables included in this press
release.
