Callidus Software Announces First Quarter 2008 ResultsRecord Quarterly Revenues $28.1 Million, Up 13% Year Over Year; Q1 Net New On-Demand ACV Bookings $5.4 Million
SAN JOSE, CA -- 04/30/2008 -- Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ: CALD), the leader in Sales Performance Management (SPM), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Total first quarter revenues were up 13% to $28.1 million, compared to the same quarter last year. First quarter subscription (on-demand) and support revenues were up 51% to $8.3 million, first quarter services and other revenues were up 44% to $15.9 million, and first quarter license revenues were down 52% to $4.0 million, in each case, compared to the first quarter of 2007. In addition, the net new Annual Contract Value (ACV) of on-demand bookings was $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $1.6 million the same quarter last year and $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Net new ACV represents the annual value of contracts signed, less any cancellations. All results for the first quarter of 2008 included the operations of Compensation Technologies from the January 14, 2008 acquisition date.
The on-demand business contributed positive gross margin for the first time. Services showed margin improvement over both Q4 and Q1 of 2007, while non-GAAP operating expenses were down 15% to $13.0 million, compared to the same quarter last year.
First quarter GAAP net loss was $2.6 million, or ($0.09) per share. $2.5 million of expenses included in the loss were made up of $1.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.4 million of restructuring expense and $0.4 million of acquisition related amortization expense. This compares to net loss of $3.4 million, or ($0.12) per share, for the first quarter of 2007, which included $1.2 million of stock-based compensation expense.
Cash and investments totaled $42.2 million at March 31, 2008, a decrease of $8.4 million from December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to money spent to acquire Compensation Technologies.
"I am pleased with how well Callidus executed against the major initiatives we publicly announced in the beginning of Q1 2008," said Leslie Stretch, president and CEO at Callidus Software. "We had record quarterly revenues and strong growth in our on-demand business. At the same time, we reduced expenses and successfully integrated the Compensation Technologies acquisition. For Callidus On-Demand, we now have over $20 million in cumulative ACV bookings, including $1.4 million from the acquisition, more than 4 times as much as we had just one year ago. We continued to add great customers to our world-class family of clients, as we saw demand for SPM solutions across a variety of industries, geographies, and market segments."
