HANOVER, Md., Feb. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The KEYW Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: KEYW ) announces full year revenue for 2013 of $298.7 million versus full year revenue for 2012 of $243.5 million, an increase of 23%. Net loss for 2013 was $10.6 million versus net income of $1.0 million in 2012. Net loss for 2013 included a one-time $4.8 million after tax litigation settlement charge. Fully diluted GAAP loss per share in 2013 was $0.29. Excluding the litigation settlement charge, our loss per share would have been $0.16 for 2013 as compared to fully diluted GAAP earnings per share of $0.03 in 2012. Amortization associated with acquisition related intangibles further reduced 2013 earnings per share by $0.40. Adjusted EBITDA (as described below) for 2013 was $27.2 million, or 9.1% of 2013 revenue.
For the fourth quarter of 2013, revenue was $68.8 million and fully diluted loss per share was $0.01. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, or 10.2% of revenue, versus $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, or 14% of revenue. During the fourth quarter, KEYW received $110 million in funding actions and ended the year with 1,068 employees.
By reporting segment, KEYW's Government segment generated $38.3 million in adjusted EBITDA during the full year 2013, or 13.2% of Government revenue, versus $32.2 million in the full year 2012, or 13.4% of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $11.1 million in KEYW's Commercial Cyber Solutions segment in the full year 2013 versus positive adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million in the full year 2012. For the fourth quarter of 2013, KEYW's Government segment generated $11.0 million in adjusted EBITDA, or 16.8% of Government revenue, versus $9.7 million in the fourth quarter 2012, or 13.6% of Government revenue. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $4.0 million in KEYW's Commercial Cyber Solutions segment in the fourth quarter of 2013 versus positive adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 in the fourth quarter 2012.
"KEYW made significant progress in 2013 with the official launch of Hexis Cyber Solutions, Inc. and commercial release of the HawkEye G product in the fourth quarter of 2013. We are converting our beta customers into commercial customers and have built a substantial pipeline of near-term customers. We made a significant investment in commercial infrastructure in 2013 thus impacting EBITDA." commented Len Moodispaw, CEO and President of KEYW Corporation. "In the Government business, KEYW was awarded several new large contract vehicles in 2013, but there is no doubt the impacts of sequestration and the government shutdown took a toll on the company. Our government customers now have a budget in place that addresses sequestration and we expect to begin seeing a return to a more normal environment in 2014."
As mentioned, revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $68.8 million, a decrease of 7% versus the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease was driven by the impact of sequestration and the fourth quarter 2013 government shutdown. Fully diluted GAAP loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $0.01. Amortization of acquisition related intangibles reduced fourth quarter earnings per share by approximately $0.09 per share.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, management evaluated KEYW's segment disclosure as a result of the increasing importance of our commercial cybersecurity group and the changing mix of our government contracting business. Based on this evaluation, we are changing our reporting segments from the previously identified Services and Integrated Solutions segments to Government and Commercial Cyber Solutions segments. The Commercial Cyber Solutions group had been part of Integrated Solutions, beginning with the acquisition of Sensage, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by KEYW, is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as GAAP net income plus other non-recurring expense, interest expense, income taxes, stock compensation, depreciation, and amortization. We have provided Adjusted EBITDA because we use the measurement internally to evaluate performance and we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies. It is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance an understanding of our operating results. In addition, our board of directors and management use Adjusted EBITDA:
- As a measure of operating performance;
- To determine a significant portion of management's incentive compensation;
- For planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; and
- To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or the cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Please refer to the table below that reconciles GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Pro Forma Revenue
The tables below summarize the unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, assuming the Poole and Sensage acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2012.

These pro forma statements do not include any adjustments that may have resulted from synergies between the acquisitions, eliminations of intercompany transactions or from amortization of intangibles other than during the period the acquired entities were part of the Company.

Activity for the Rsignia, Dilijent and IDEAL acquisitions are not included for any period presented due to their immateriality individually and in aggregate.
