        of $2.9 million.

The Company secured several significant new customer engagements in the quarter, including a market-leading global consulting firm, a global aerospace and defense company, and the games division of a large eCommerce company.

Lionbridge was also recently named the world's number one language services company by independent market research firm Common Sense Advisory (CSA Research) based on size, revenue and service mix.

"Our solid second quarter results reflect ongoing revenue growth, particularly in our translation and marketing business. We are expanding our large accounts with ongoing growth in our marketing services offerings. Our new onDemand customer engagement model is scaling. And we continue to execute on our strategy to expand our business across new end markets," said Rory Cowan, CEO of Lionbridge. "Despite potential hesitation within our largest account and related short-term slowdowns in our testing segment, we expect solid revenue, earnings and cash flow in the second half of 2014 with acceleration in 2015."

Lionbridge provided an outlook for Q3 of 2014 with estimated revenue of $124-127 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, the Company's adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations. These measures are presented because management believes they provide additional information to investors with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities. "Adjusted earnings" and "Adjusted Earnings per Share (EPS)" are Non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for these measures are net income and diluted net income per share and has provided a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share at the end of this release.
