| | · | Unveiled the latest release of the company’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite, QAD Enterprise Applications 2011.1 Enterprise Edition, and announced its availability in a series of user events in the U.S., China and Mexico; |
| | · | Launched QAD Business Intelligence (BI) 3.5 featuring new mobile computing compatibility for faster, more convenient access to critical decision-making data; and |
| | · | Announced a 20 percent increase in the company’s quarterly dividend to $0.072 per share of Class A common stock and $0.060 per share of Class B common stock, as well as a one million share repurchase program of Class A and/or Class B shares of QAD’s common stock. |
Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, QAD expects total revenue of approximately $63 million and earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.22 per diluted Class A share and $0.18 per diluted Class B share.
Calculation of Earnings Per Share
EPS is being reported based on the company’s dual-class share structure, and includes a calculation for both Class A and Class B shares. Since Class A shares have rights to 120% of dividends paid on Class B shares, net income is now apportioned so that earnings per share attributable to a Class A share are 120% of earnings per share attributable to a Class B share. For comparison purposes, prior period earnings per share calculations have been recast so as to incorporate the dual-class capital structure.

Note to Investors: This press release contains certain forward-looking statements made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. , including, but not limited to, statements relating to the company’s revenue outlook and earnings per share outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Words such as “expects”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “could”, “will likely result”, “estimates”, “intends”, “may”, “projects”, “should”, and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and future conditions. A number of risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, evolving demand for the company's software products and products that operate with the company's products; the company's ability to sustain license and service demand; the company's ability to leverage changes in technology; the company's ability to sustain customer renewal rates at current levels; the publication of opinions by industry and financial analysts about the company, its products and technology; the reliability of estimates of transaction and integration costs and benefits; the entry of new competitors or new offerings by existing competitors and the associated announcement of new products and technological advances by them; delays in localizing the company's products for new or existing markets; the ability to recruit and retain key personnel; delays in sales as a result of lengthy sales cycles; changes in operating expenses, pricing, timing of new product releases, the method of product distribution or product mix; timely and effective integration of newly acquired businesses; general economic conditions; exchange rate fluctuations; and, the global political environment. In addition, revenue and earnings in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software industry are subject to fluctuations. Software license revenue, in particular, is subject to variability with a significant proportion of revenue earned in the last month of each quarter. Given the high margins associated with license revenue, modest fluctuations can have a substantial impact on net income. Investors should not use any one quarter's results as a benchmark for future performance. For a more detailed description of the risk factors associated with the company and the industries in which it operates, please refer to the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2011 ended January 31, 2011, and in particular, the section entitled “Risk Factors” therein, and in other periodic reports the company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
