RIVER FALLS, WI--(Marketwired - Nov 5, 2015) - Sajan, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAJA), a leading provider of global language services and translation management system technology, today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Revenues were $7,333,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to $7,340,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Sajan's reported net loss was $127,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to net income of $101,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was $212,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to $449,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. See the section entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss).

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, were $22,192,000 compared to $20,734,000 in the same period of 2014, an increase of 7 percent. Net loss for the first nine months of 2015 was $121,000 compared to a net loss of $115,000 in the same period in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA was $873,000 in the first nine months of 2015 compared to $919,000 in the same period of 2014.

Shannon Zimmerman, CEO of Sajan, commented on the company's third quarter results:

"Our third quarter revenue reflects increases from three of our top four domestic clients, increases from our Global Life Sciences Services Practice, and revenue from new 2015 clients. These increases were offset by a decline in international revenue due to reduced spending at IBM, and lower revenue due to timing of anticipated translation projects from several of our larger domestic clients. Our results also reflect continued investments in our operational staff and processes as well as new sales and marketing initiatives we have undertaken. I believe these key actions will drive future revenue and earnings growth."

Mr. Zimmerman continued: "Although the delayed spending by some of our larger clients was disappointing, our relationships with these and all of our clients are strong. I am pleased with our overall progress and specifically our execution on the following key initiatives:

• The attainment of three new customers who have adopted SiteSync, our website translation solution;
  
  
• Our new relationship as sole provider of language translation services to Corporate United, the largest indirect group purchasing organization in the United States;
  
  
• Our selection as a commercial partner of language translation services for Africa for Growth, an initiative to help small to medium-sized businesses in the United Kingdom expand their presence in Africa; and
  
  
• Continued improvements to Transplicity, our translation management system and resulting operational efficiencies."
  
  

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by taking net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We believe that this non-GAAP measure of financial results provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. This measure is also used in financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Our management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents this non-GAAP financial measure in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
