Responsys Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results


SAN BRUNO, Calif., Nov. 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Responsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:MKTG), a leading provider of email and cross-channel marketing solutions, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

For the third quarter of 2012, total revenue increased 19.6% to $40.5 million, up from $33.9 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Subscription revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $28.5 million, up 19.4% as compared to $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Professional services revenue was $12.1 million, up 20.3% as compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2011.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $3.5 million compared to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net income per share attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2012 was $0.07 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to $0.03 in the third quarter of 2011. GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2012 includes a $2.2 million gain on the acquisition of Responsys Denmark.

"We had a strong quarter for new business wins and delivered EPS at the top end of the range, underscoring the positive results we are seeing from our increased investment in sales and marketing. We believe these results and increasing traction in emerging channels bode well for our continued progress in 2013," said CEO Dan Springer. 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total revenue increased 20.9% to $118.2 million, up from $97.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Subscription revenue for the first nine months of 2012 was $83.1 million, up 22.6% as compared to $67.8 million in the first nine months of 2011. Professional services revenue for the first nine months was $35.0 million, up 17.1% as compared to $29.9 million in the first nine months of 2011.

GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $5.6 million. This compares to GAAP net income of $6.0 million for the first nine months of 2011. Net income per share attributable to common stockholders in the first nine months of 2012 was $0.10 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to $0.09 in the first nine months of 2011. Both periods included a $2.2 million gain from acquisitions.

In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating Responsys' business, management believes it is useful to also measure results using non-GAAP net income, which is net income excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain on acquisitions, and related income tax effects, as applicable.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $3.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share as compared to $2.6 million, or $0.05 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis1, for the third quarter of 2011. 

Non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $7.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share as compared to $7.8 million, or $0.15 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis1, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. 

A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this release is included in the attached tables.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of November 5, 2012, Responsys is issuing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2012 and fiscal 2012 as follows:

Fiscal 2012 revenue is expected to be in the range of $160-161 million. Non-GAAP net income is expected to be approximately $0.20 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for the full year excludes an estimated $2.7 million in amortization of acquired intangibles and $6.5 million in stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 53.4 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company expects revenue to be in the range of $42-$43 million. Non-GAAP net income is expected to be approximately $0.05 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter excludes an estimated $0.8 million in amortization of acquired intangibles and $1.8 million in stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is based on estimated weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 53.6 million.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012 assumes an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 40%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share on a diluted basis1. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share on a diluted basis1, exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, gain on the acquisitions, and related tax effects. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods and uses these measures in financial reports prepared for management and the Company's board of directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other software-as-a-service companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

The Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management of the Company presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

1 Non-GAAP net income per share attributable to common stockholders was derived by dividing by the corresponding non-GAAP basic and non-GAAP diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was computed to give effect to the conversion of the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, and Series E convertible preferred stock using the as-if converted method into common shares as though the conversion had occurred as of the beginning of the period.
