Commenting on the quarter, Marc Lefar, Vonage Chief Executive Officer, said, "We again generated solid financial returns. We improved our operating margins as we continue to implement structural improvements to lower costs. In addition, our focus on the overall customer experience has resulted in strong churn performance. Churn declined by 30 basis points from the prior year and has been stable for four consecutive quarters. Although total customer additions to our international calling plans were flat, we continued to see strong sales growth through assisted selling in major retailers and community sales teams.

"Executing on our growth priorities, we have made steady progress building the foundation to deliver services in Brazil. And over the last couple of months, we have made great improvements in the quality, capabilities and appeal of the Vonage Mobile app. With our launch of video calling two weeks ago, Vonage Mobile now has a level of completeness and quality that is unsurpassed by any other communications app in the market.

"We are also excited about our upcoming national launch of our new flanker brand, BasicTalk, which targets the low-end domestic calling market. Given the positive results in our test markets, we anticipate that it will be a meaningful contributor to subscriber and revenue growth."
