"Our strong quarterly financial results were highlighted by 68% year-over-year Dynamic SIM Allocation™ (DSA) revenue growth," said Thad Dupper, Chairman and CEO. "Our DSA growth is a direct result of more carriers deploying our solution in production, as well as steady and strong increases in SIM card activation volumes, driven by the proliferation of connected devices. The impact of this trend is positive revenue and EBITDA results along with gross margins and operating margins that are near all-time highs. Through nine months of 2014, adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million has eclipsed 2013's full year total of $6.3 million. Our year-to-date bookings highlights included a 40% increase in DSA license and services orders and an 18% increase in overall license and services orders. Given the market dynamics we are experiencing with DSA, we believe we are well positioned for continued growth for Q4 and into 2015."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Evolving Systems reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). In addition, the Company is providing in this news release non-GAAP financial information in the form of net income, diluted net income per share and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment, stock compensation and gain/loss on foreign exchange transactions). Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and lenders in evaluating the overall financial health of the Company in that they allow for greater transparency of additional financial data routinely used by management to evaluate performance. Investors and financial analysts who follow the Company use non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share to compare the Company against other companies. Adjusted EBITDA can be useful for lenders as an indicator of earnings available to service debt. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

*The estimated income tax for non-GAAP net income is adjusted by the amount of additional expense that the Company would accrue if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results in the calculation of its tax liability, taking into account in which tax jurisdiction each of the above adjustments would be made and the tax rate in that jurisdiction.
