“2016 was a transformative year for Carbonite. We continued to successfully execute our strategy, acquiring and developing solutions to better serve the expanding data protection needs of businesses. The acquisition of EVault early in 2016 strengthened our technology portfolio and solidified our shift to the mid-market and we continue that momentum into 2017 with our acquisition of Double-Take Software. With a expanded suite of products, a unified go-to-market organization and a strong channel, we enter 2017 well positioned to capitalize on the sizeable and growing data protection market,” said Mohamad Ali, president and CEO.

“I am very pleased with our strong financial performance in 2016. We grew SMB to represent approximately 60% of our total bookings for the year. We drove a dramatic increase in profitability, delivering five times the non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share that we delivered in 2015. We also meaningfully exceeded our adjusted free cash flow expectations for the year. We delivered great results across the board and I am excited about our continued momentum as we start 2017,” said Anthony Folger, CFO.
