Critical Path Announces Second Quarter 2007 Results
Revenue and Gross Margins Improved Year Over Year
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (August 14, 2007) – Critical Path, Inc. (OTC: CPTH), a leading provider of messaging software and services, today announced unaudited financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Revenue and Gross Margins
For the second quarter of 2007, revenues were $12.1 million, compared to $12.0 million in the same period last year and $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. Gross margins, based upon U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), for the second quarter of 2007 were 58%, compared to 56% in the same period last year and 53% in the first quarter of 2007. On an adjusted EBITDA basis, gross margins in the second quarter of 2007 were 60%, compared to 58% in the same period last year and 55% in the first quarter of 2007.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric used by management to measure the company’s operating performance and its earnings before net interest expense, benefit from (provision for) income taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude other items, such as gain on sale of assets, write-off of capitalized legal costs, restructuring expense, other income (expense), stock-based expenses and dividends and accretion on redeemable preferred stock.
Net Results
Net loss on a U.S. GAAP basis, which excludes the dividends and accretion of redeemable preferred stock (a non-cash item related to outstanding preferred stock), for the second quarter of 2007, was $2.4 million, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million in the same period last year and a net loss of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2007. For the second quarter of 2007, total cost of net revenues and operating expenses, on a U.S. GAAP basis, was $13.2 million, compared to $14.3 million in the same period last year and $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2007.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders based on U.S. GAAP, which includes dividends and accretion of redeemable preferred stock, for the second quarter of 2007, was $6.2 million or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million or $0.17 per share in the same period last year and a net loss of $6.6 million or $0.18 per share in the first quarter of 2007.
Net loss on an adjusted EBITDA basis for the second quarter of 2007, was $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per share, in the same period last year and a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share, in the first quarter of 2007. For the second quarter of 2007, total cost of net revenues and operating expenses on an adjusted EBITDA basis was $12.5 million, compared to $13.5 million for the same period last year and $13.4 million for the first quarter of 2007.
“Q2 proved to be another solid quarter for Critical Path,” said Mark Palomba, CEO, Critical Path, Inc. “Year over year, we continued to grow revenue and improve gross margins. During the quarter, we had new customer wins and expanded our community-oriented messaging solutions at existing customers. In addition, we saw the market opportunity for consumer mobile email and messaging continue to grow, along with the value of our Memova Mobile solutions. We look forward to further capitalizing on this opportunity, while staying focused on improved financial results.”
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2007, the company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.8 million, compared to $12.2 million at March 31, 2007. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to timing differences in the collection of the company’s accounts receivables which, at June 30, 2007, totaled $19.0 million compared to accounts receivables of $16.1 million at March 31, 2007.
Second Quarter 2007 Highlights
• | | Memova® Mobile –Critical Path continued to gain traction in its mobile business in Q2, announcing yet another operator launch of consumer mobile email services. One of Europe’s largest operators – Telecom Italia – launched a new Memova Mobile service under its ALICE brand, making mobile email accessible for use by 98% of its mobile phone subscribers. |
• | | Memova® Messaging – Critical Path continued to work with service providers around the globe to expand their messaging platforms and provide new community-oriented services with the latest version of the Memova Messaging platform – Version 8.0. One such customer, Wind Telecomunicazioni S.p.A (WIND), rolled out the new platform in the second quarter, launching new email and value-added services on its portal Libero.it – Italy’s largest Internet community with more than 12 million active members. |
• | | Continued Financial Improvements –For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, total revenue and overall gross margins improved compared to the same periods last year. Notably, software license revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were up 10% year over year, and for the first six months of 2007, they increased 25% compared to the same period last year. |
Regulation G
The Company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure its financial results. The non-GAAP metrics used are: income (loss) on an adjusted EBITDA basis and both cost of revenues and operating expenses on an adjusted EBITDA basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measures are the net loss attributable to common shareholders and cost of net revenues and operating expenses, respectively. The adjusted EBITDA results exclude net interest expense, benefit from (provision for) income taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as other items such as gain on sale of assets, write-off of capitalized legal costs, restructuring expense, other income (expense), stock-based expenses and dividends and accretion on redeemable preferred stock. There is no difference between adjusted EBITDA and GAAP revenues. Management believes that, in addition to GAAP metrics, these non-GAAP metrics assist the company in measuring its cash-based performance. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP metrics are useful to investors because they remove unusual and nonrecurring charges that occur in the affected period and provide a basis for measuring the company’s financial condition against other quarters. Since the company has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, management also believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in its financial reporting. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The calculations for these non-GAAP metrics are in the alternative measurement reconciliation table below.
