    Syniverse Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Syniverse Corporation, the "world's most connected company"TM and the premier global technology provider of mission-critical mobile platforms for carriers and enterprises, announced financial results for the third quarter ended August 31, 2021 and nine months year to date 2021.

    "These are exciting times at Syniverse. During the quarter our secular growth from messaging and 5G gained momentum and we entered into a business combination agreement with M3 Brigade Acquisition II Corp. (NYSE:MBAC) that positions us to go public during fiscal Q1. Now is the time for us to reinvest in the growth opportunities presented by both the favorable trends in our industry and our unique technology solutions and skills in order to meet our customers' evolving needs and drive our business," commented Andrew Davies, CEO of Syniverse.

    Davies continued, "In the third quarter we saw strong revenue trends across both of our businesses. Revenue growth accelerated in our Enterprise business, led by Wholesale A2P messaging and our retail CPaaS services, and our Carrier business saw its second consecutive quarter of revenue growth for continuing products. Going forward, we expect an even greater future contribution from 5G-driven demand by our Carrier customers. Our outlook remains positive."

    Fiscal 2021 Business Outlook

Revenues for Global Messaging, which is composed of A2P and Ten digit long code (10 DLC), increased by $50.8 million, or 113%, because of 10 DLC and A2P volume expansion, as well as $22.3 million of incremental message termination fees charged to Syniverse by certain U.S. carriers that are passed through to Syniverse's customers. Revenues for CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) Solutions, which is composed of CPaaS and Messaging as a Platform (MaaP) services, increased by $2.0 million, or 42%, primarily due to volume expansion of CPaaS services as Syniverse relaunched its platform in fiscal 2020.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In this press release, the Company includes Direct Margin, which is a measure used to evaluate the operating performance of the Company's segments, and Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP performance measures that the Company uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Company has provided herein a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP. The Company's management believes Direct Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are useful in evaluating its operating performance and is similar to measures reported by publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. By providing these non-GAAP measures, the Company's management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's profitability for the periods presented. Direct Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

    The Company defines and calculates Direct Margin as Revenues less direct variable costs of operations ("Direct Costs"). These Direct Costs include Message Termination (MT) fees, revenue share fees, variable data processing costs, and off-network database query charges. The Company defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before net Other expense, Provision for (or benefit from) income taxes, Depreciation and amortization expense, Restructuring expense, Non-cash stock-based compensation, Other expenses, Consulting fee and related expense. The Company defines and calculates Free Cash Flow as Net Cash provided by (or used in) operating activities less Cash Capital expenditures.
