“I am pleased to report Advent delivered a strong second quarter with record revenue and non-GAAP profitability, and strong renewals,” said Pete Hess, Chief Executive Officer at Advent. “We continue to win new business, while also investing in our solutions, and we-re doing it all while ensuring that we deliver the operational efficiency gains we-re committed to achieving.

As previously announced, the Company entered into a new $425 million senior credit facility and declared a one-time special cash dividend of $9 per share. In connection with the dividend, the Company modified its outstanding equity awards to preserve the pre-dividend economic value. The special dividend was approved by Advent-s Board of Directors on June 12, 2013 and paid to stockholders on July 9, 2013. Of the $9 per share distribution, totaling $470 million, Advent currently expects between $2 to $3 per share to be characterized as a dividend for tax purposes, and the remaining amount of the distribution to be characterized as a return of capital.
The Company reported quarterly revenue of $96.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $89.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, a 7% increase.
