Said Paul Jarman, inContact CEO, "2014 was an outstanding year for inContact, as we continued to win cloud market share and distance ourselves from the other players in the marketplace. During the quarter and across the full year, inContact achieved record results, including new bookings, customer expansions, competitive wins, new implementations and software revenue run rate. In Q4, we achieved record bookings which represents 44% year over year growth in estimated annual contact value. In Q4, we closed 109 contracts including 66 new logo customers and 43 expansion deals. For the full year 2014, total contracts came to 390 with 222 new customers and 168 expansions." Continued Jarman, "Our competitive win rate exceeded 65% in Q4 and 60% overall in 2014. In addition, this quarter we set a new record in implementations, which was double the comparable period in 2013. We have successfully expanded our channel and implementation partners to meet heavy demand for cloud implementations at a rapid pace. inContact now has the broadest channel penetration of all for cloud contact center players." Revenue Software segment revenue totaled $30.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, an increase of 56% from $19.4 million in Q4 2013. Combined Software and Software-related Network connectivity revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $47.1 million, an increase of 45% from $32.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Approximately 88% of Network connectivity segment revenues were derived from contracts with customers utilizing our contact center software. Consolidated revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $49.4 million versus $35.1 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of 41%. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Software segment revenue totaled $100.8 million, an increase of 46% from $68.9 million for the same period in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Software related network connectivity revenue totaled $60.9 million, an increase of 24% from $49.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $171.8 million versus $130.0 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of 32%. Gross Margin Software segment gross margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was 59% versus 58% for the same period in 2013. Excluding non-cash charges, non-GAAP Software segment gross margin was 72% for the fourth quarter of 2014, versus 71% in the fourth quarter of 2013. Fourth quarter 2014 Network connectivity segment gross margin was 36% versus 36% for the same period in 2013. Consolidated gross margin percentage was 50% in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 48% for the same period in 2013. Excluding non-cash charges, consolidated gross margin was 59% for the fourth quarter 2014 compared to 56% for the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation ("Adjusted EBITDA"), without acquisition-related adjustments, was $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2014, with acquisition-related adjustments was $1.2 million versus $990,000 during the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure management believes provides important insight into our operating results (see reconciliation of non-GAAP measures below). Net Loss Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $5.6 million, or ($0.09) per share (basic and diluted), as compared to a net loss of $3.9 million or ($0.07) per share (basic and diluted) for the same period in 2013. The increase in net loss was principally attributable to increased depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation charges of $1.9 million, principally related to the Uptivity acquisition. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was positively impacted by a $9.4 million tax credit, associated with the Uptivity acquisition. Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $2.9 million, or ($0.05) per share (basic and diluted), as compared to a net loss of $2.5 million or ($0.04) per share (basic and diluted) for the same period in 2013. Guidance for 2015 In 2015, we anticipate consolidated revenues to be between $205 and $210 million for the full year. We expect total software revenues to be between $129 and $134 million for the full year. This would represent 28% to 33% growth for software revenues. We expect adjusted EBITDA will be between $9 and $10 million. On a GAAP basis, we anticipate a net loss of ($0.34) to ($0.39) per share. On a non-GAAP basis, we expect a net loss of ($0.12) to ($0.17) per share for the full year. Jarman concluded, "2014 has been the strongest year in inContact's history and we begin 2015 in a powerful position based on our mature all-in-one, multi-tenant cloud platform, high-touch services model and growing partner channel. We are set to extend our market lead in 2015 with continued strong performance with aggressive bookings and revenue growth in 2015."

SEGMENT REPORTING We operate under two business segments: Software and Network connectivity (formerly "Telecom"). The Software segment includes all monthly recurring revenue related to the delivery of our software applications, plus the associated professional services and setup fees and revenue related to quarterly minimum purchase commitments through July 2014, from a related party reseller. The Network connectivity segment includes all voice and data long distance services provided to customers. For segment reporting, we classify operating expenses as either "direct" or "indirect." Direct expense refers to costs attributable solely to either selling and marketing efforts or research and development efforts. Indirect expense refers to costs that management considers to be overhead in running the business. Management evaluates expenditures for both selling and marketing and research and development efforts at the segment level without the allocation of overhead expenses, such as rent, utilities and depreciation on property and equipment. Operating segment revenues and profitability for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
