Lawson Software Reports Strong First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Financial Results
Company forecasts 8-10% non-GAAP EPS growth for fiscal 2010
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News:
Lawson Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: LWSN) today reported financial results for its
first quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended Aug. 31, 2009. Total revenues of
$169 million, were down 11 percent, or 6 percent adjusted for currency when
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Software revenues in the quarter
increased 1 percent, or 6 percent adjusted for currency. Software revenues
consist of the following:
License fees, which grew 23 percent, or 28 percent adjusted for currency, driven
primarily by increases in healthcare, public sector and equipment service
management & rental vertical markets. Contributing to the increase was the
recognition of a larger amount of deferred license fees in the first quarter of
fiscal 2010 as compared to the similar period last year as well as several
significant deals signed and recognized in the current quarter.
Maintenance services, which declined 4 percent due to currency, but increased 1
percent adjusted for currency.
Consulting revenues in the quarter declined 29 percent, or 23 percent adjusted
for currency, driven by fewer billable consultants. The company has reduced the
size of its consulting staff as part of a strategy to move more implementation
services to its partner channel as well as due to lower bookings for consulting
and implementation services.
First quarter GAAP net income of $6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share
increased compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.02 per share in the
first quarter of fiscal 2009. The growth in net income was driven primarily by
increased license fees revenues and reduced costs and expenses. Total costs and
operating expenses declined 19 percent, or 13 percent adjusted for currency,
compared to the decrease in total revenues of 11 percent, or 6 percent adjusted
for currency. Operating income growth more than offset a $2.7 million, or 90
percent, decline in interest income which was consistent with marketplace
declines in interest rates.
Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 include a reduction to net income
of approximately $0.8 million for out-of-period adjustments. The provision for
income taxes includes a $1.7 million charge to adjust for an under accrual in
the fiscal 2009 provision. An additional adjustment was also recorded that
decreased cost of services by $0.9 million, related to the reversal of a
services reserve that should have been reversed in fiscal 2008. The company has
determined these out-of period adjustments were immaterial to the first quarter
of fiscal 2010 and are not expected to be material to fiscal 2010.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $15.4 million, or
$0.09 per diluted share, increasing from $8.7 million, or $0.05 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share
exclude $9.7 million of amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation,
non-cash interest expense and restructuring. Non-GAAP net income and earnings
per diluted share include a provision for income taxes based upon an estimated
rate of 37 percent, which is applied consistently throughout the year.
The company's results were impacted by the reduced value of foreign currencies
when compared to the U.S. dollar. Adjusted for currency, revenues would have
been down 6 percent versus the 11 percent decline reported. The company
estimates currency fluctuations had a positive impact of $0.01 on GAAP and
non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share for the first quarter.
“We delivered strong software revenue and excellent earnings growth despite
continued weakness in the global economy,” said Harry Debes, Lawson president
and chief executive officer. “Our vertical strategy is yielding growth in
software revenues and our continued focus on internal efficiencies has
significantly improved operating margin.”
Implementation of FSP APB 14-1
First quarter of fiscal 2010 GAAP earnings per diluted share include $2.1
million of incremental non-cash interest expense resulting from the
implementation of a new accounting standard related to the company's convertible
notes. This non-cash interest expense is excluded from the company's non-GAAP
results. Results for fiscal 2009 have been adjusted to reflect the retroactive
implementation of this accounting standard. First quarter of fiscal 2009 GAAP
earnings per diluted share include $2 million of incremental non-cash interest
expense.
Financial Guidance
For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, which ends Nov. 30, 2009, the company is
providing guidance using foreign exchange rates as of the end of Sept. 2009. The
company estimates total revenues of $175 million to $180 million. The company
anticipates GAAP fully diluted earnings per share will be $0.01 to $0.03.
Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share are forecasted to be $0.07 to $0.09,
excluding approximately $14 million of pre-tax expenses for restructuring,
amortization, non-cash interest expense and non-cash stock-based compensation.
The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter is estimated at 37
percent, which the company expects to apply consistently throughout the fiscal
year. Based on expected results for the first half of fiscal year 2010, the
company now forecasts full year non-GAAP earnings per share to increase 8 to 10
percent compared to fiscal 2009.
Other Announcements
The company also announced it is making a targeted reduction of approximately 75
positions primarily in consulting services in Europe. The reduction is a further
refinement of the company's new vertical organization including a resizing of
its services business to leverage its partner channel and in light of current
demand for consulting and implementation services in Europe. The majority of
personnel departures are expected to be completed by the end of the company's
second quarter of fiscal 2010. The workforce reduction is expected to result in
pre-tax charges in the second fiscal quarter of approximately $4 million for
severance pay and related benefits. Annualized cost and expense savings from
this action are estimated to be approximately $7 million. Please refer to the
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for further details.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software reports non-GAAP financial
results including non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per
share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight into
our operating performance and an alternative perspective of our results of
operations. Our primary non-GAAP adjustments are described in detail below. We
use these non-GAAP measures to assess our operating performance, to develop
budgets, to serve as a measurement for incentive compensation awards and to
manage expenditures. Presentation of these non-GAAP measures allows investors to
review our results of operations from the same perspective as management and our
Board of Directors. Lawson has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial
measures to provide investors an enhanced understanding of our operations,
facilitate investors' analysis and comparisons of our current and past results
of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance.
We also believe that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they
provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to
analyze software companies including those that have recently made significant
acquisitions.
The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with GAAP and
may differ from the methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP results
should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding GAAP measures but
instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in
evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do
not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported
financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in
conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP
and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the
comparable GAAP results provided for each period presented, which are attached
to this release.
Our primary non-GAAP reconciling items are as follows:
Purchase accounting impact on revenue - Lawson's non-GAAP financial results
include pro forma adjustments for deferred maintenance and consulting revenues
that we would have recognized under GAAP but for the related purchase
accounting. The deferred revenue for maintenance and consulting on the acquired
entity's balance sheet, at the time of the acquisition, was eliminated from GAAP
results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. As a result, our
GAAP results do not, in management's view, reflect all of our maintenance and
consulting activity. We believe the inclusion of the pro forma revenue
adjustment provides investors a helpful alternative view of Lawson's maintenance
and consulting operations.
Amortization of purchased maintenance contracts - We have excluded amortization
of purchased maintenance contracts from our non-GAAP results. The purchase price
related to these contracts is being amortized based upon the proportion of
future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated
useful lives of the contracts. We believe that the exclusion of the amortization
expense related to the purchased maintenance contracts provides investors an
enhanced understanding of our results of operations.
Incremental non-cash interest related to convertible debt - We have excluded the
incremental non-cash interest expense related to our $240.0 million in 2.5%
senior convertible notes that we are required to recognize under FSP APB 14-1
from our non-GAAP results of operations for all periods presented, including a
retrospective restatement of GAAP results upon our adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on
June 1, 2009. This FSP requires us to recognize significant additional non-cash
interest expense based on the market rate for similar debt instruments that do
not contain a comparable conversion feature. We have allocated a portion of the
proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes to the embedded conversion
feature resulting in a discount on our senior notes. The debt discount is being
amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes
using the effective interest method. These non-cash interest charges are not
included in our operating plans and are not included in management's assessment
of our operating performance. We believe that the exclusion of the non-cash
interest charges provide investors useful information relating to the cost
structure of our operations.
Stock-based compensation - Expense related to stock-based compensation has been
excluded from our non-GAAP results of operations. These charges consist of the
estimated fair value of share-based awards including stock option, restricted
stock, restricted stock units and share purchases under our employee stock
purchase plan. While the charges for stock-based compensation are of a recurring
nature, as we grant stock-based awards to attract and retain quality employees
and as an incentive to help achieve financial and other corporate goals, we
exclude them from our results of operation in assessing our operating
performance. These charges are typically non-cash and are often the result of
complex calculations using an option pricing model that estimates stock-based
awards' fair value based on factors such as volatility and risk-free interest
rates that are beyond our control. The expense related to stock-based awards is
generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on
the timing, size and nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include such
charges in our operating plans. In addition, we believe the exclusion of these
charges facilitates comparisons of our operating results with those of our
competitors who may have different policies regarding the use of stock-based
awards.
Pre-merger claims reserve adjustment - We have excluded the adjustment to our
pre-merger claims reserve from our non-GAAP results. As part of the purchase
accounting relating to the Intentia transaction, we established a reserve for
Intentia customer claims and disputes that arose before the acquisition which
were originally recorded to goodwill. As we are outside the period in which
adjustments to such purchase accounting is allowed, adjustments to the reserve
are recorded in our general and administrative expenses under GAAP. We do not
consider the adjustments to this reserve established under purchase accounting
in our assessment of our operating performance. Further, since the original
reserve was established in purchase accounting, the original charge was not
reflected in our operating statement. We believe that the exclusion of the
pre-merger claims reserve adjustment provides investors an appropriate
alternative view of our results of operations and facilitates comparisons of our
results period-over-period.
Restructuring - We have recorded various restructuring charges related to
actions taken to reduce our cost structure to enhance operating effectiveness
and improve profitability and to eliminate certain redundancies in connection
with acquisitions. These restructuring activities impacted different functional
areas of our operations in different locations and were undertaken to meet
specific business objectives in light of the facts and circumstances at the time
of each restructuring event. These charges include costs related to severance
and other termination benefits as well as costs to exit leased facilities. These
restructuring charges are excluded from management's assessment of our operating
performance. We believe that the exclusion of the non-recurring restructuring
charges provide investors an enhanced view of the cost structure of our
operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that
may not reflect such charges or may reflect different levels of such charges.
Amortization - We have excluded amortization of acquisition-related intangible
assets including purchased technology, client lists, customer relationships,
trademarks, order backlog and non-compete agreements from our non-GAAP results.
The fair value of the intangible assets, which was allocated to these assets
through purchase accounting, is amortized using accelerated or straight-line
methods which approximate the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be
generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets.
While these non-cash amortization charges are recurring in nature and the
underlying assets benefit our operations, this amortization expense can
fluctuate significantly based on the nature, timing and size of our past
acquisitions and may be affected by any future acquisitions. This makes
comparisons of our current and historic operating performance difficult.
Therefore, we exclude such accounting expenses when analyzing the results of all
our operations including those of acquired entities. We believe that the
exclusion of the amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets
provides investors useful information facilitating comparison of our results
period-over-period and with other companies in the software industry as they
each have their own acquisition histories and related adjustments.
