Glowpoint Reports Record $5.8 Million in Second Quarter Revenue

Files Second Quarter 2007 Results



HILLSIDE, N.J. August 14, 2007 Glowpoint, Inc. (OTC:GLOW.PK), a premiere broadcast-quality IP-based managed video service provider, announced today that it has filed its quarterly report for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2007.

The company will host a conference call on Tuesday, August 14 at 4:30 pm EDT to discuss the results and field questions from investors. Interested participants should call (866) 831-6247 and use passcode 91839909. International participants should call (617) 213-8856 and use the same passcode.

 

 This is the highest quarterly revenue Glowpoint has achieved to date and it demonstrates the business momentum we are gaining. When you consider that our business is a recurring revenue model, and that a good portion of our revenue growth in a quarter is the result of closed business from the previous two quarters or so, this growth is clearly an indication that we are seeing increased demand for our service solutions, said Michael Brandofino, Glowpoints president and CEO . With the restatement process now completed, Glowpoint has eliminated a significant financial and personnel strain that prevented resources from focusing on growth. Yet despite this distraction, Glowpoint has still been able to grow its revenue. We realized more than a 73 percent increase in signed contracts for new business in the second quarter of 2007, as represented by new monthly recurring revenue during the same period in 2006. We believe our company has firmly established its position in the high-growth IP video and telepresence sector. Based on the current business environment, we anticipate that Glowpoint will continue to increase its recurring revenue and profit margins for the foreseeable future.

 

The following are some of Glowpoints achievements through June 30th, 2007, which are qualified in their entirety by the financial statements included in the Form 10-Q:

 

Overall revenue increased $1,806,000, or 18.6%, in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $11,508,000 from $9,702,000 in the 2006 period.
