The Company uses the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted Run Rate EBITDA*, as its primary indicator of financial performance and intrinsic financial health. Adjusted Run Rate EBITDA* is calculated using contracted recurring revenues less Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and known customer attrition. The metric excludes professional services, other income, and sales and marketing costs, other than long-term customer acquisition referral fees. The metric does not include sales forecasts or anticipated new business wins. The reconciliations of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted Run Rate EBITDA* to GAAP net income (net loss) are provided in schedules that are a part of this press release in the section titled Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Using this methodology, the company is able to project key performance metrics, including Adjusted Run Rate EBITDA* through year end 2019.

"The digital transformation of IT into a strategic function with ability to advance a company's competitiveness is well underway, and nDivision is at the forefront of the revolution," continued Hixon. "CIOs are under relentless pressure to keep systems up and running, cut costs to operate within tight budget constraints, and to advance enterprise technology to disrupt their competition. nDivision's Autonomic Services and other solutions empower IT leaders to shrink operating costs and re-deploy valuable technical resources to address mission-critical initiatives that advance the business objectives of the enterprise."

Financial Highlights First Quarter 2019 and Outlook

nDivision's contracted recurring revenue during the quarter improved compared to the same period in 2018 driven primarily by revenue from new customer contracts won by the company's direct sales team, new customers acquired through its relationships with the company's Global Technology Provider partners, and revenue from a portfolio of 58 Managed Services contracts acquired by the company in January 2018.

First quarter contracted recurring revenue growth included the five-year Autonomic Managed Services contract awarded to nDivision by a Fortune 500 company in December of 2018. During the quarter, the company recorded approximately $180,000 of new revenue comprised of the first tranche of fee revenue for the transition of this customer's systems over to nDivision. Another tranche will be paid once the transition is complete, which is anticipated to be during the second quarter. Once completed, nDivision will begin billing the agreed-upon monthly fee amount. It is expected that the contract will initially increase nDivision's Contracted Recurring Revenues by approximately $2.0 million per year after all services are deployed and regular billing commences.

Year-over-year Contracted Recurring Revenue growth also includes new customer wins through the company's strategic relationships with two Fortune 50 Global Technology Providers. Customer wins through these channels grew monthly contracted recurring revenue by approximately 80 percent compared to monthly recurring revenue at the end of the 2018 first quarter.

Contracted Recurring Revenue growth this quarter, compared to the 2018 period, also includes revenue from the acquisition of 58 Managed Services contracts completed during the first quarter of the prior year.

Once all contracted customers begin billing at their agreed upon levels, which is anticipated during the third quarter of 2019, it is expected that the company will be able to cover all monthly operating costs solely with recurring revenue, and become cash flow positive.

Development of Growth Channels

nDivision continues to aggressively deploy its expertise to grow the company into a major player in the technology industry. During the first quarter, the company continued to execute against its primary growth channels.

  • nDivision Direct Sales - The company's organic business development effort was very successful in 2018. The year culminated in the company winning a five year Managed Services contract with a Fortune 500 customer, displacing the incumbent global offshore outsourcing company, which represents the most lucrative Managed Services contract in the company's history. The first quarter saw a continuation of the momentum, resulting in sales pipeline growth.
  • Global Technology Provider Partnerships - nDivision partners with two Fortune 50 Global Technology Providers. The first has revenues of approximately $80 billion and is reselling nDivision's Managed Service and End User Help Desk solutions to their medium, mid-market and large enterprise customers. The second partner has revenues of approximately $110 billion and is recommending nDivision's Managed Services to its mid-market and large enterprise customers to enhance its public cloud value proposition. Both of these partnerships have the potential to evolve into a more strategic relationship.
  • Acquisitions - The company analyzes acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis. This could include buying Managed Services Providers, or acquiring their existing Managed Services contracts. During 2019, the company has not identified any opportunities that represent a suitable EBITDA/revenue multiple but anticipates that competitive forces could push margins into the appropriate range in the future.

Advisory Board Activation

In March, nDivision activated its newly formed executive Advisory Board with the appointment of Khaled Saffouri and Scott White, who were recruited to the board to help the company engineer an aggressive business development function to capitalize on the company's strategic relationships with its two Fortune 50 Global Technology Partners, as well as build on the momentum of recent organic client contract wins. Khaled and Scott are experienced Managed Services sales leaders who helped catapult Rackspace from a fledgling web hosting company into what Rackspace describes as ''the #1 managed cloud company'' serving more than 140,000 companies in 120 countries.

IPsoft Extends Relationship with nDivision

After the close of the quarter, IPsoft, the world leader in Enterprise AI, agreed to a five-year extension of its strategic partnership with the company at the same competitive licensing levels initially negotiated more than four years ago. nDivision's expertise in IPsoft's platform, IPcenter, has led to a very strategic relationship, including acting as a customer reference for IPsoft in its competitive bids, being invited to present at IPsoft's global leadership and marketing events, and being a featured partner in their marketing initiatives.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain financial information including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in its business, to establish operational goals, to provide additional measures of operating performance, including using the information for internal planning relating to the Company's ability to meet debt service, make capital expenditures and provide working capital needs. In addition, the Company believes investors already use these non-GAAP measures to monitor the Company's performance. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income or net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) plus non-cash stock option and stock-based compensation expenses and acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, change in contingent consideration and loss on disposal of assets. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined by GAAP and, as a result, the Company's measure of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to net income or net loss as reported for GAAP on the Consolidated Statements of Income, cash and cash flows as reported for GAAP on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and as reflected on the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP included in the Company's Form 10Q and Form 10K filed for the respective fiscal periods with the SEC. Reconciliations of GAAP net income or GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA are attached hereto.

EBITDA is defined as net income before provision for income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA minus non-cash expense not eliminated in the EBITDA calculation, such as stock compensation and other non-routine expenses such gain or loss on changes on contingent consideration.

We define "Adjusted Run Rate EBITDA" as Adjusted EBITDA (i) less Non-Recurring Revenue, (ii) adding back Customer Acquisition Costs, (iii) plus Net Contracted, Recurring Revenue not yet billed and (iv) less estimated, Recurring Cost of Services not yet incurred.

Non-Recurring Revenue is defined as professional service revenue, project revenue and for March 31, 2018 product revenue.

Customer Acquisition Costs is defined as those sales expense incurred by the Company for new sales, including payroll costs, commission expenses, travel expense and miscellaneous sales expense.

Net Contracted, Recurring Revenue not yet billed is defined as the estimated revenue from recurring contracts that are in the implementation phase and have not begun monthly recurring billing, minus those contracts that are terminating and not expected to renew.

Recurring Cost of Services not yet incurred is defined as the estimated incremental expenses related to the Net Contracted, Recurring Revenue not yet billed.

We believe that the presentation of these Key Performance Indicators ("KPI') provides information useful to investors in assessing our liquidity and financial condition and results of operations and that these KPI's are also useful to investors as a financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service debt, pay dividends and fund capital expenditures. These KPI's are supplemental financial measure that management and external users of our condensed combined and consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, commercial banks and rating agencies, use to assess the following, among other measures:
