Alan Trefler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Pegasystems’ 2005 results clearly demonstrate growing customer enthusiasm for our SmartBPM™ solutions. The world’s most sophisticated organizations are increasingly selecting Pegasystems software to power their competitive advantage and implement best processes across their enterprises.
“We continue to utilize our “quick value” sales strategy, which delivers customer benefit through accelerated implementation cycles and a smaller initial license. Once organizations achieve growth and productivity with successful initial implementations, we are seeing customers extend their Pegasystems relationships and diversify their use of our Build for Change™ technology.
“Our 51 new license signings in 2005 was a record; we signed 21 new customers and extended relationships with an additional 30. Our industry-leading customers are using Pegasystems software for everything from bringing insurance products to market more quickly, to Medicare Part D enrollment support to enterprise-wide BPM automation.
“More than 1,100 partners, customers and Pegasystems personnel were trained on our BPM technology in 2005, nearly double the number in 2004. We also continue to garner awards for our new class of BPM software, including recent industry analyst recognition for our strong market presence.”
Chris Sullivan, CFO, commented, “Fourth quarter 2005 revenue of $27.1 million represents another strong quarter for Pegasystems, resulting in record annual revenue and showing the strength of our business.
“In 2005 we reported a $6.3 million increase in service revenue, driven primarily by a 28% increase in maintenance revenue. Professional service margins remain pressured as we continue our service investments in advance of anticipated demand. These investments include expanding our internal pool of trained services personnel and investing in training for our partners and customers.
“As we enter 2006, we expect to structure most of our new term licenses and term license renewals in a manner that will result in revenue being recognized ratably over the term of the license, rather than based on the present value of future payments method we have historically used for the majority of our term licenses. This will reduce the up-front revenue associated with term licenses in favor of a stream of future recurring revenue. The estimated revenue associated with term licenses scheduled to renew in 2006 is approximately $10 million, the majority of which, assuming those licenses are renewed, is expected to be recorded ratably over the term of the agreements. Bearing this in mind, for 2006 we anticipate full year revenue between $105 and $115 million and profit (loss) before tax between $(3) million and $3 million. The expected results for 2006 reflect an anticipated cost of approximately $1 million associated with the expensing of stock options under the revised FAS123R rules. Cash flow from operations in 2006 is expected to be in the range of $12 to $20 million.”
In the 2005 10-K, Pegasystems disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to revenue recognition and income taxes as of December 31, 2005. The 2005 Form 10-K and previously reported financial results reflect the appropriate accounting. Additional information is contained in the 2005 Form 10-K.
