Today marks our first time as a public company that we’re releasing full year financial results. Investors, analysts, customers and employees are either eager or simply curious to see how we’ve performed both in Q4 and for the full year 2010. In many ways, it feels like just another year has gone. However, this year is clearly different as we’re now a public company and have the opportunity to tell the world about our financial performance in 2010.

 2010 was an exceptional year for IntraLinks, our employees, our customers and our investors. Highlights from our full year financial results include:

• Strong growth in our Enterprise and M&A principal markets drove record revenue of $184.3 million in 2010, up 31% over 2009.
• Non-GAAP operating income was $45.6 million, up 36% over 2009 and yielding an operating margin of 25%.
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $62.6 million, up 39% over 2009, and yielding a best in class 34% EBITDA margin compared to other SaaS companies.

As the end of January approaches, 2011 takes on a sharper focus. That said, 2010 is still a very clear memory. In many ways, it is the perfect time to look ahead to what I expect will be a great year while the recollection of our spectacular 2010 is still fresh.

If I had to pick one of the most memorable moments for IntraLinks in 2010, it would have to be August 5, the day we became a public company. After more than six months of preparation and a three week road show, our IPO was both exhilarating and exhausting. It was a proud moment to ring the opening bell on the NYSE and then watch the first 10,000 shares of IntraLinks stock trade. Our IPO has brought with it some new roles and responsibilities for me including media coverage and having to become familiar with getting makeup at 5 a.m. for TV interviews!

It’s hard to believe that it’s only been just over a month since the IntraLinks team rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The excitement within the halls and offices of IntraLinks certainly hasn’t died down. As I had hoped, every employee felt like they were part of this historic company event. And now that some time has passed, it feels like a good time to reflect on those few fantastic days in early August.

We were at the NYSE for two consecutive business days, with the first day commemorating the initial trading of the first IntraLinks shares. If you ever have the opportunity to be on the NYSE trading floor, don’t miss it. You’re surrounded by traders making markets in technology companies like IBM, McAfee, Salesforce.com and now IntraLinks. It was great to see the “IL” ticker symbol roll across the screen on the “Big Board” for the first time.

After spending several weeks on the road meeting with potential investors, I am pleased to announce that IntraLinks is now a publicly-traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange — trading under the ticker symbol “IL”. We are excited and proud to be associated with the New York Stock Exchange. We have achieved an important milestone for IntraLinks, as well as for all the investors and other stakeholders who have placed their trust in our company’s success.

By becoming a public company, we have now increased our financial resources and flexibility, enabling us to grow our business and further establish IntraLinks as a leading provider of SaaS-based solutions for collaboration between businesses. While the past few months have inevitably presented their challenges, the process of “going public” has allowed us to truly articulate and reinforce our corporate vision. It’s been a rewarding experience both personally and professionally.

Recently, IntraLinks officially launched its wholly owned Latin America regional headquarters in São Paulo, Brazil. I had the pleasure spending a week with our team and attending our launch party. We gathered with clients, partners, associates and friends of IntraLinks at the upscale Hotel Fasano to celebrate our previous accomplishments and outline our business plans and commitment to the Latin American region now that we have expanded our presence. There were many interesting conversations but what struck me was how the regional business needs paralleled and aligned with companies in other global business centers. Whether it’s a virtual data room for mergers and acquisitions, an online workspace for fund raising or the debt capital markets or a reporting solution for CVM480 compliance — it's clear that business people face the same challenges whether they’re located in Brazil or anywhere else in the world — and all were well suited for the IntraLinks platform.
