•GAAP basic EPS of $(0.01) and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.03
•Adjusted EBITDA of $9.7 million
•Increased full year revenue guidance
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW) (Limelight), a leading provider of video delivery and edge cloud services, today reported revenue of $58.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, up 28 percent, compared to $45.9 million in the second quarter of 2019. Year-over-year currency impact was negative by approximately $0.1 million.
Limelight reported a GAAP net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.01) per basic share for the second quarter of 2020, compared to net loss of $7.2 million, or $(0.06) per basic share in the second quarter of 2019.
Non-GAAP net income was $3.5 million or $0.03 per basic share for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3.5 million, or $(0.03) per basic share in the second quarter of 2019.

EBITDA was $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to negative $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2019.
Limelight ended the second quarter with 627 employees and employee equivalents, up from 616 at the end of the first quarter of 2020, and up from 594 at the end of the second quarter of 2019.

“This is our best ever second quarter financial performance. Our growth, including the over 400 basis point sequential improvement in gross margin, is due to strong execution of our 2020 strategy. Through our relentless focus on expanding capacity, optimizing proactive management of our network, placing more control in the hands of our customers and driving innovation, we are seeing strength across our business and are raising our revenue guidance for 2020,” said Robert Lento, Chief Executive Officer.
As the world continues to navigate through these uncertain times, we play an important role in connecting people to information and entertainment. COVID-19 has created an increased global reliance on the Internet and content delivery, and we expect to emerge larger and financially stronger when the pandemic ends. The remarkable dedication of our people adapting to the challenging times, and the commitment to meeting increased demand with uncompromised quality for our customers is particularly noteworthy. We recognize many face challenges during these times and will continue our efforts to provide value and help overcome the consequential impact of the pandemic on our communities,” Lento added.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (Non-GAAP) net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be an important indicator of overall business performance. We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation. We believe that EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other (income) expense, and income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude share-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures because, collectively, they provide valuable information on the performance of our on-going operations, excluding non-cash charges, taxes and non-core activities (including interest payments related

Exhibit 99.1
to financing activities). These measures also enable our management to compare the results of our on-going operations from period to period, and allow management to review the performance of our on-going operations against our peer companies and against other companies in our industry and adjacent industries. We believe these measures also provide similar insights to investors, and enable investors to review our results of operations “through the eyes of management.”
Furthermore, our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to assist them in making decisions regarding our strategic priorities and areas for future investment and focus.
The terms Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
•  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•  These measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•  Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation costs, including provision for litigation and litigation expenses;
•  These measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
•  These measures do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
•  Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
•  While share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
•  Other companies may calculate Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In accordance with the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Per share amounts may not foot due to rounding.
