BOSTON, Aug 04, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- OOO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Stream Global Services, Inc., (Amex: OOO), premium provider of customer care and business process outsourcing (BPO) services for Fortune 1000 companies, ("Stream"), today reported consolidated financial results for its 2009 second quarter.

GAAP Consolidated Results

On July 31, 2008, Stream (formerly known as Global BPO Services Corp.), a development stage company, completed its acquisition of Stream Holdings Corporation ("SHC").(1)

On a GAAP basis, revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $125.7 million and $261.3 million, as compared to zero in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

GAAP net loss was $2.6 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared GAAP net income of $0.7 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Results

On a pro forma combined consolidated basis, the Company posted revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of $125.7 million and $261.3 million, as compared to $128.7 million and $269.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 included approximately $8 million and $23 million, respectively from customers that were lost prior to the acquisition of SHC.

Stream's gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 42% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 35% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, adjusted pro forma earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") increased 74% and 101% to $10.5 million and $26.4 million compared to $6.0 million and $13.1 million in the year-earlier period. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was 8.4% and 10.1%, compared to 4.7% and 4.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

2009 Accomplishments

"Since acquiring Stream in July of 2008, we have achieved many significant milestones," commented Scott Murray, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stream. "We built an industry-leading management team, expert in delivering value-driven services for our clients. We expanded our global presence to regions such as El Salvador, Tunis, Egypt and the Philippines. And, we have been successful in attracting a number of new clients, most of which came on board during the second quarter of the year. As a result, we experienced start-up costs associated with this new business, relative to initiatives such as training, to ensure the quality necessary for the successful launch of new client services. In addition, we experienced start-up costs for the new solution centers opened in the second quarter - Philippines and Tunis - all of which were expensed in our income statement." Murray concluded, "During the remainder of 2009, we expect to continue to expand our presence in the Philippines, Latin America and Asia in order to provide a global one-stop service platform that allows Stream to provide premier services to help our clients achieve their goals."

1. On July 31, 2008, Stream Global Services, Inc. ("SGSI") (formerly known as Global BPO Services Corp.) completed its acquisition of Stream Holdings Corporation ("SHC"). These financial results also include non-GAAP pro forma combined results of operations for SGSI and SHC as if they had been combined since January 1, 2008. The pro forma combined consolidated condensed statements of operations are presented because management believes they reflect Stream's ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Prior to July 31, 2008, SGSI was a blank check company formed for the purpose of seeking to acquire an operating company. Accordingly, we had no revenues prior to July 31, 2008 because we were in the development stage.

Safe Harbor

This press release contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including forward-looking statements regarding our business expectations and objectives. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, risks relating to our ability to maintain and win additional client business, continue to maintain our operating performance and margin expansion, continue to have sufficient capital to grow and maintain our business, retain our management team and effectively operate a global franchise across multiple jurisdictions plus other risks detailed in our filings with the SEC, including those discussed in the Company's Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Stream does not intend, and disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking information contained in this release, even if its estimates change.

The required reconciliations and other disclosures for all non-GAAP measures used by the Company are set forth in a schedule attached to this press release and in the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC on the date hereof.

References to the financial information included in this news release reflect rounded numbers and should be considered approximate values.

Non-GAAP Financial Information. This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are used as measures of Stream's performance or liquidity, should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of Stream's financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently from time to time and may be defined differently than similar terms used by other companies, and accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how SGSI defines non-GAAP financial measures in this release.

Where specified in the accompanying schedules for various periods entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Information," certain items noted on each such specific schedule are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.

Stream's management uses the non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying schedules to gain an understanding of Stream's comparative operating performance (when comparing such results with previous periods or forecasts) and future prospects and excludes certain items from its internal financial statements for purposes of its internal budgets and financial goals. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by Stream's management in their financial and operating decision-making because management believes they reflect Stream's ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Stream's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in (a) understanding and evaluating Stream's current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose, and (b) in comparing in a consistent manner Stream's current financial results with its past financial results.

All of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items do not include all items of income and expense that affect Stream's operations. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and do not reflect any benefit that such items may confer on Stream. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering Stream's financial results in accordance with GAAP.
