In addition, it will significantly expand AVG's distributor network by adding over 1,500 active LPI Level Platform Managed Service Providers partners.
AVG expects to realize significant synergies by combining platforms and business operations, with the objective of making the acquisition accretive quickly. AVG expects $5 million of subscription revenue related to the deal in the second half 2013, which is expected to be neutral to non-GAAP earnings. In 2014, subscription revenue is projected to be $15 million and non-GAAP EPS is projected to be in the range of 6-10 cents for that business.
