ORANGE, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tangoe, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNGO), a leading global provider of Communications Lifecycle Management (“CLM”) software and related services, announced that it has acquired privately held ProfitLine, Inc., a global provider of telecom expense and mobility management services in a transaction that closed today, December 19, 2011.

“We are very excited to announce the acquisition of ProfitLine, which we believe is among the largest independent CLM providers behind Tangoe. The addition of ProfitLine expands our customer base, broadens our vertical coverage, and provides an attractive cross-sell opportunity as we leverage Tangoe’s broader global footprint,” said Al Subbloie, president and CEO of Tangoe. “Tangoe has a proven history of complementing our organic growth by successfully identifying and integrating acquisitions, which we believe is among the core competencies that made us an industry leader.”
ProfitLine delivers a suite of solutions that address the management of fixed and mobile telecom expenses and mobile device management helping global enterprises and government agencies optimize their telecom spend and employee productivity.

Tangoe expects ProfitLine to contribute approximately $0.4 million in revenues during the fourth quarter of 2011, and it does not expect the acquisition to have a material impact on non-GAAP profitability. For the full year of 2012, the company expects ProfitLine to contribute $14 million to $15 million in revenue, and the acquisition is expected to be slightly accretive to non-GAAP net income per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP net income excludes stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, restructuring charge and decrease (increase) in fair value of warrants for redeemable convertible preferred stock. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure of performance. Management also believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operational performance. However, this non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool and is not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
