RA'ANANA, Israel, March 17, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retalix(r) Ltd. (Nasdaq:RTLX), a global provider of software solutions for retailers and distributors, today announced results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2008.
Summarized financial highlights for the fourth quarter and 12 month period ended December 31, 2008:
* Total Revenues for the full year reached a Company record of $221.6 million, compared to $221.4 million in 2007. Total Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 were $52.2 million, compared to $55.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. * Income from Operations (GAAP) for the full year was $1.1 million compared to a loss of $(1.5) million for the full year 2007. In the fourth quarter of 2008, Retalix recorded a loss from operations (GAAP) of $1 million versus a loss of $3.1 million from operations in the fourth quarter of 2007. These GAAP results are unaudited and are subject to change. As discussed below, the Company reported that GAAP results will include a non-cash impairment charge which will range between $50 million to $70 million based on management's current assessment as it nears finalization of testing. * Adjusted Income from Operations (Non-GAAP)* for the full year was $9.2 million compared to $6.7 million for the full year 2007. In the fourth quarter of 2008 Retalix recorded an adjusted income from operations (Non-GAAP)* of $0.7 million versus an adjusted operations loss of $(2.1) million in the fourth quarter of 2007. * GAAP Net Income for the full year was $4.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, subject to change according to the final results of our impairment testing described below. This is compared to a loss of $(0.5) million, or a loss of $(0.02) per diluted share in the full year 2007. GAAP Net Income in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, subject to change according to the final results of our impairment testing described below, and compared to a loss of $(1.7) million, or a loss of $(0.09) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2007. * Impairment of Goodwill: Each year the Company is required under SFAS 142 and SFAS 144 to review the value of its long-lived assets, including the goodwill and other intangible assets carried on its balance sheet. Due to recent economic conditions, which resulted in both a decline in the Company's market capitalization and a decline in the Company's estimated forecasted cash flows, Retalix management performed an impairment test, which showed an indication of impairment. Retalix is currently conducting the second step of is impairment test to determine the amount of impairment.
Retalix management expects to recognize a GAAP non-cash impairment charge in the range of $50 to $70 million net of tax, against its goodwill and other intangible assets. These non-cash GAAP charges affecting goodwill acquired in the past will be reflected in the Company's reported GAAP earnings and per share earnings which will be included in Retalix's annual report to be filed on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).
* Adjusted Net Income (Non-GAAP)* for the full year was $10.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $6.1 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the full year 2007. Adjusted Net Income (Non-GAAP)* in the fourth quarter was $3.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $(0.9) million, or a loss of $(0.05) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2007. The adjusted, non-GAAP net income will not be impacted by the results of the impairment charge described above. * Cash Flow: During the full year 2008 the Company generated $13.2 million from Operating Activities, compared to a negative cash flow of $(23.8) million used in Operating Activities in 2007. During the fourth quarter the Company generated $12.3 million from Operating Activities, compared to a negative cash flow of $(16.9) million used in Operating Activities in the fourth quarter of 2007. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $37.6 million in cash and equivalents and marketable securities and less than a million dollars in debt.
Barry Shaked, President and CEO of Retalix, said: "The results for the full year 2008 demonstrate the progress of our turnaround efforts over the past year. Despite the uncertainty that overtook the global economy in the fourth quarter of 2008, we significantly improved our performance and our cash flow from operations. Our efforts to improve operating efficiencies strengthened our performance while also ensuring that we were able to meet customers' needs and address the changes in the global economy."
"Recent global economic and financial market conditions caused our recording of a non-cash GAAP goodwill impairment charge in relation to goodwill resulted from acquisitions made in past years. These charges do not affect our cash position, as this is a non-cash charge. We have the capital liquidity and flexibility needed to weather the current economic storm, though we had to adjust our book value to the current market levels," Shaked added.
Retalix highlighted a number of other factors that impacted the financial results of the Company:
* As a result of changes in the Israeli taxation, the Company reported during the fourth quarter a tax benefit which included $5.8 million related to prior years' taxes. * Financial expenses in the amount of $2.6 million were recorded in the fourth quarter, as a result of currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the British Pound and Israeli Shekel, as well as a write-down charge in the amount of $0.7 million of Auction Rate Securities (ARS) held by Retalix. * During 2008, Retalix reduced its global workforce by 219 people, through a combination of not replacing employees who resigned and selective reductions in force. Due to the decline in the value of its severance funds caused by the global financial crisis, Retalix incurred additional severance expenses in an amount of $0.8 million.
Hugo Goldman, EVP and CFO of Retalix, said: "The improvements in our operating results for the full year were achieved despite the impact of the weak US Dollar on our operating expenses for most of the year. During the fourth quarter we experienced rapid changes in the global economy, an appreciation of the Dollar relative to the British Pound and Israeli Shekel, together with other unplanned financial expenses due to the decline in the financial markets. However, we were able to generate more than $13 million in cash flow from operations this year, mainly due to our strong collection efforts, continued cost control and focus on profitability. At the end of 2008, our balance sheet had over $37.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and less than a million dollars in debt, giving us a solid foundation from which to continue to manage our business."
Shaked added, "During the fourth quarter we were able to successfully complete some of the licensing agreements that had been deferred during the third quarter while other customers continued to review their technology investments in view of the continued economic uncertainties that overtook the global markets. We believe that retailers will continue to be very cautious in their technology investments, seeking out specific solutions that provide operating enhancements and meaningful and quick returns on their investments. We are working closely with our broad global base of customers, many of which with whom we have longstanding relationships, focusing on our applications that help retailers manage their operations smarter, improve efficiencies and increase customer loyalty."
Outlook for FY 2009
"In view of the continued uncertainty in the global economy, we are taking a more conservative approach to the outlook for 2009, where our main focus will be to continue our efforts to restrain our cost structure and to maintain and enhance our profitability," commented Shaked. "While the pipeline remains healthy, we are experiencing longer approval processes for new assignments, as retailers and distributors move cautiously on new technology investments. Our plans for 2009 are designed to help us maintain profitability even if the tough economic conditions persist, and to allow us to grow revenues and improve our profitability in the event the economy picks up as 2009 progresses."
Retalix currently expects FY 2009 revenues to be between $180 million and $200 million, Non-GAAP* net income to be between $5 million and $11 million and GAAP net income to be between $1 million and $6 million.

* Note on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Retalix uses non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles.

Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors.
Reconciliation between GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the table below for our FY 2009 outlook. Further reconciliations for historical non-GAAP financial measures appear later in this press release.
