http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20091103006629/en

Achieves Record Positive Cash Flow from Operations of $2.7 Million
SAN MATEO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU), a leading global publisher of mobile games, today
announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, Glu reported revenues of $19.6 million
compared to $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2008. GAAP loss from
operations and net loss were $(2.8) million and $(4.0) million, respectively,
compared to GAAP loss from operations and net loss of $(54.2) million and
$(56.9) million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2008. GAAP loss per basic
share was $(0.13) for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared with a GAAP
loss per basic share of $(1.93) in the same period last year. GAAP net loss for
the third quarter of 2009 included $513,000 of royalty impairments and $919,000
in restructuring charges.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, non-GAAP income from operations, which
excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles arising
from business combinations, transitional expenses, goodwill impairments,
restructuring charges and MIG earnout expenses, was $300,000, compared to a loss
of $(1.0) million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net loss, which
includes foreign currency exchange gains and losses primarily related to the
revaluation of assets and liabilities, was $(889,000) for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $(1.7) million in the
same period last year. Non-GAAP basic loss per share was $(0.03) for the quarter
ended September 30, 2009, compared to a non-GAAP basic loss per share of $(0.06)
in the same period last year.

The company achieved positive cash flow from operations for the second
consecutive quarter, generating $2.7 million in cash from operations during the
third quarter of 2009.

"We were pleased with the company`s ability to exceed expectations for the third
consecutive quarter and remain optimistic that our recently launched titles for
the iPhone will improve our paid app ranking," said Greg Ballard, chief
executive officer of Glu. "We are also excited about the upcoming launch of our
social network game initiative and anticipate our investment to gain traction as
we develop and launch new titles in this growing sector of the gaming market."

Ballard concluded, "With the increasing importance of quality content for the
mobile and social networking platforms, Glu remains well positioned due to the
quality of its game developers, worldwide reach and stabilized capital
structure."

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."

The company ended the quarter with a cash and cash equivalents balance of $9.9
million, and had $4.1 million outstanding on its line of credit. The company has
successfully fulfilled its fiscal 2009 obligations with respect to the
promissory notes issued to the former shareholders of MIG.

"Our ability to achieve positive cash flow from operations for the second
consecutive quarter highlights the company`s commitment to generate positive
cash flow as we continue to invest in new platforms," said Eric R. Ludwig, Glu`s
chief financial officer. "With the strong cash generation during the third
quarter, Glu expects to attain its full year cash flow objective and remains in
position to continue investing in new markets."

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements reflect expectations as of November 3,
2009. Results may be materially different and are affected by many factors, such

social network gaming products; consumer demand for mobile handsets, including
the next-generation platforms; carriers' and distributors' marketing to
consumers, including premium deck placement; continued uncertainty in the global
economic environment; carriers' and other distributors` maintaining their
networks and provisioning systems to enable consumer purchases; development
delays on Glu's products; competition in the industry; changes in foreign
exchange rates; Glu's effective tax rate and other factors detailed in this
release and in Glu's SEC filings.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Glu's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with GAAP, Glu uses certain non-GAAP measures of
financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is
not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or
superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with
GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do
not reflect all of the amounts associated with Glu's results of operations as
determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Glu
include historical and estimated non-GAAP operating income/(loss), non-GAAP net
income/(loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share. These
non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items from Glu's unaudited
consolidated statements of operations:

* Acquired in-process research and development
* Amortization of intangible assets
* Stock-based compensation expense
* Gain/impairment of auction-rate securities
* Restructuring charges
* MIG earnout expenses
* Transitional expenses
* Impairment of goodwill
* Foreign currency exchange gains and losses primarily related to the
revaluation of assets and liabilities

Glu may consider whether other significant non-recurring items that arise in the
future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it
uses.

Glu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with
the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding Glu's performance by excluding certain items that may not
be indicative of Glu's core business, operating results or future outlook. Glu's
management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these
non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Glu's operating results, as well as
when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP
financial measures also facilitate comparisons of Glu's performance to prior
periods.

In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each
of the items Glu excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, Glu believes it
is appropriate to exclude certain items for the following reasons:

Acquired In-Process Research and Development. Glu recorded charges for acquired
in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), included in its GAAP presentation
of operating expenses, in connection with its acquisition of Superscape. These
amounts were expensed on the acquisition date as the acquired technology had not
yet reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative uses. There
can be no assurance that the acquisition of businesses, products or technologies
in the future will not result in substantial charges for acquired IPR&D.
Accordingly, acquired IPR&D is non-recurring and generally unpredictable. Glu
believes it is useful to provide, as a supplement to its GAAP operating results,
a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes acquired IPR&D.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. When analyzing the operating performance of
an acquired entity, Glu's management focuses on the total return provided by the
investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity as
compared to the purchase price paid) without taking into consideration any
allocations made for accounting purposes. Because the purchase price for an
acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to intangible
assets (including acquired in-process technology and goodwill), when analyzing
the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, Glu's
management excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets to its
financial results. Glu believes that such an approach is useful in understanding
the long-term return provided by an acquisition and that investors benefit from
a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the accounting expense
associated with acquired intangible assets.

In addition, in accordance with GAAP, Glu generally recognizes expenses for
internally-developed intangible assets as they are incurred until technological
feasibility is reached, notwithstanding the potential future benefit such assets
may provide. Unlike internally-developed intangible assets, however, and also in
accordance with GAAP, Glu generally capitalizes the cost of acquired intangible
assets and recognizes that cost as an expense over the useful lives of the
assets acquired (other than goodwill, which is not amortized, and acquired
in-process technology, which is expensed immediately, as required under GAAP).
As a result of their GAAP treatment, there is an inherent lack of comparability
between the financial performance of internally-developed intangible assets and
acquired intangible assets. Accordingly, Glu believes it is useful to provide,
as a supplement to its GAAP operating results, a non-GAAP financial measure that
excludes the amortization of acquired intangibles.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Glu adopted SFAS 123R, "Share-Based Payment"
beginning in its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. When evaluating the
performance of its consolidated results, Glu does not consider stock-based
compensation charges. Likewise, Glu's management team excludes stock-based
compensation expense from its short and long-term operating plans. In contrast,
Glu's management team is held accountable for cash-based compensation and such
amounts are included in its operating plans. Further, when considering the
impact of equity award grants, Glu places a greater emphasis on overall
stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such
grants.

Glu believes it is useful to provide a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes
stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance
of its business. In addition, given Glu's adoption of SFAS 123R beginning with
its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, Glu believes that a non-GAAP financial
measure that excludes stock-based compensation will facilitate the comparison of
its year-over-year results.

Gain/Impairment of Auction-Rate Securities. Glu recorded impairment charges
related to its auction-rate securities ("ARS") that were deemed to have an
other-than-temporary decrease in fair value based on third-party valuation
models and other indicative factors. The ARS previously held by the company were
private placement securities with long-term nominal maturities for which the
interest rates were reset through a Dutch auction each month. The monthly
auctions historically provided a liquid market for these securities. The
company's previous investments in ARS represented interests in collateralized
debt obligations supported by pools of residential and commercial mortgages or
credit cards, insurance securitizations and other structured credits, including
corporate bonds. Upon full redemption of the ARS by the sponsoring broker, Glu
reversed all previously recorded impairments.

Glu believes that the impairment/gain of these investments does not reflect the
company`s ongoing operations and that investors benefit from a supplemental
non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these impairments.

Restructuring Charges. Glu undertook restructuring activities in 2008 to (1)
relocate its operations in France from Nice to Paris and to terminate certain
employees located in Glu's Hong Kong office and (2) terminate certain employees
and exit a portion of the company`s corporate offices. The resulting
restructuring charges principally consisted of costs associated with employee
termination benefits, depreciation (a non-cash charge) and remaining lease
payment obligations. Glu recorded the severance costs as an operating expense
when it communicated the benefit arrangement to the employee and no significant
future services, other than a minimum retention period, were required of the
employee to earn the termination benefits. In 2009, Glu recorded (1) a non-cash
restructuring charge due to a change in the sublease probability assumptions for
the portion of the company`s corporate headquarters that were vacated in 2008
(2) a restructuring charge related to termination benefits to be paid pursuant
to the transition agreement with the CEO and (3) cash restructuring charges due
to termination of certain employees in Glu`s US and EMEA offices. Glu believes
that these restructuring charges do not reflect the company's ongoing operations
and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that
excludes these charges.

MIG Earnout Expenses. As part of the acquisition of MIG, Glu committed to pay
additional consideration in the form of cash and stock to the MIG shareholders
and bonus payments in the form of stock to two officers of MIG, who were also
MIG shareholders. Glu initially recorded the estimated contingent consideration
and bonuses earned by the two officers as stock-based and non-equity
compensation over the two-year vesting period ending December 31, 2009, and has
excluded from its non-GAAP financial measures the impact of the non-equity
component of the additional consideration. In the quarter ended December 31,
2008, Glu restructured these payments into debt obligations that become due at
various times through December 31, 2010. Glu believes that these earnout
expenses affect comparability from period to period and that investors benefit
from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these charges.

Transitional Costs. Glu has incurred various costs related to the transition and
integration of Superscape and MIG into Glu's operations. Glu recorded these
non-recurring costs as operating expenses when they were incurred. Glu believes
that these transitional costs affect comparability from period to period and
that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that
excludes these expenses.

Impairment of Goodwill. In accordance with FAS 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" Glu performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of
September 30. Glu recorded a goodwill impairment charge in the third quarter of
2008 as the fair value of two of its three reporting units was determined to be
below the carrying value of their respective goodwill balances. As this
impairment is non-recurring, Glu believes it does not reflect Glu's ongoing
operations and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial
measure that excludes this impairment, enabling them to compare Glu's core
operating results in different periods without this variability.

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and
losses represent the net gain or loss that Glu has recorded for the impact of
currency exchange rate movements on cash and other assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies related to the revaluation of assets and
liabilities. Accordingly, foreign currency exchange gains and losses are
generally unpredictable and can cause Glu`s reported results to vary
significantly. Due to the unusual magnitude of these losses in the quarter ended
December 31, 2008 and the fact that Glu has not engaged in hedging or taken
other actions to reduce the likelihood of incurring a sizeable net gain or loss
in future periods, Glu began, with the quarter ended December 31, 2008, to
present non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share excluding foreign exchange
gains and losses for comparability purposes. Glu believes that these gains and
losses do not reflect its ongoing operations and that investors benefit from a
supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these items, enabling
investors to compare the company's core operating results in different periods
without this variability. Foreign exchange gains/(losses) recognized during 2008
and 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

March 31, 2008 $ 318
June 30, 2008 (66 )
September 30, 2008 (1,301 )
December 31, 2008 (1,984 )
FY2008 $ (3,033 )

March 31, 2009 $ (461 )
June 30, 2009 759
September 30, 2009 (28 )
FY2009 (YTD) $ 270
