On December 6, 2016, SNCR announced it entered into an agreement to acquire Intralinks Holdings, Inc. and Intralinks CEO (Ron Hovsepian) was expected to be appointed CEO of SNCR.  The Company stated: “Synchronoss is giving initial 2017 revenue guidance of between $810 and $820 million with pro forma EPS of between $2.45 and $2.60 for the combined entity.”

Shortly after the merger, on April 27, 2017, SNCR announced that CEO Hovsepian and newly appointed CFO John Frederick resigned effective immediately “to pursue other interests.”  In addition, the Company disclosed it expected first quarter revenues to be $13 million to $14 million less than the previously announced guidance.

On this news, the price of SNCR shares fell approximately 46% on heavy volume.

On May 15, 2017, the Company announced that the new CEO and CFO required additional time to file its first quarter 2017 earnings and Form 10-Q.  The next day, SNCR received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the relevant Nasdaq Listing Rule because it has not yet filed the Form 10-Q.

On June 13, 2017, the Company announced that investors should no longer rely on its previously issued financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and their respective quarterly periods.  All of those will be restated because revenue was improperly recognized.

“Recognizing revenue when it’s not earned is not a judgment call,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.  “It is a serious violation of generally accepted accounting principles.”
