BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Brightcove Inc. (Nasdaq: BCOV), the leading provider of cloud services for video, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

"Brightcove reported second quarter financial results that exceeded the high end of our revenue guidance but fell short of our profitability expectations due primarily to additional investments that were made during the second quarter to support one of our strategic customers. We remain on track to return to sustainable adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter," said Andrew Feinberg, acting Chief Executive Officer of Brightcove.

Feinberg added, "During the second quarter, we delivered another strong bookings performance, driven by our expanded product portfolio, and we remain on track to achieve our mid- to high-teens bookings growth target for the year. We are delivering significant value to our customers, which gives us confidence that our continued innovation and increased focus on go-to-market execution will drive improved operational performance and long-term shareholder value."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Brightcove has provided in this release the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Brightcove uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Brightcove's ongoing operational performance. Brightcove believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Brightcove's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share exclude stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and merger-related expenses.

Merger-related expenses include fees incurred in connection with closing an acquisition in addition to fees associated with the retention of key employees. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
