S1 to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 PM ET with Presentation Available at www.s1.com in the Investor Relations Section Under "About S1"
NORCROSS, Ga., May 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- S1 Corporation (Nasdaq:SONE), a leading global provider of payments and financial services software solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Financial Results and Operating Highlights
- Total revenue decreased 12% to $51.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $58.3 million in the first quarter of 2009.
- U.S. GAAP net loss was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per share, in the first quarter of 2010 compared to U.S. GAAP net income of $8.9 million, or $0.16 per share, in the first quarter of 2009. These figures include stock-based compensation expense of $400,000 and a benefit of $2.5 million in the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2009. Adjusted EBITDA does not include stock-based compensation expense and is described below and reconciled to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in Tables 4, 5, 6 and 7.
- Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.1 million and $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
- As of March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $48.2 million.
- Added seven net new customers in the first quarter of 2010 including contracts with:
- A U.S. debit network that provides ATM and point-of-sale transaction switching and settlement services for S1's payments solution
- A U.S. West-Coast based commercial bank for S1's corporate online banking solution; and
- A leading designer and manufacturer of consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers for S1's payments solution.
- Closed a number of cross-sales to existing customers including significant transactions with two of the top ten banks in Europe.
- Completed the acquisition of PM Systems Corporation in March 2010.
Johann Dreyer, Chief Executive Officer of S1, said, "As I communicated last quarter, we expected a very soft first quarter largely due to the drop in business with State Farm, the impact of a number of non-recurring professional fees, and the impact of signing more deals where license revenue is recognized over the implementation period using the percentage of completion method. Additionally, our first quarter revenue was impacted by changes in estimates for certain large project implementations.
"As we continue to target larger and more complex sales opportunities, particularly with our payments and corporate online banking solutions, we are experiencing a shift to recognizing more software license revenue using the percentage of completion method. While this shift does have an impact on our current and near-term financial results, we believe it will provide greater longer-term revenue visibility. We expect to continue to see some of the effect of this revenue shift in the second quarter of 2010 with revenue for the remainder of the year increasing as these percentage of completion implementations ramp-up."
To reflect its expectation that a greater number of software licenses will be recognized using the percentage of completion method during the remainder of 2010, S1 has reduced its 2010 financial guidance accordingly. Based on current assumptions, the Company now expects 2010 total revenue to be approximately $242 to $248 million, adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $39 to $43 million, and cash earnings per share to be approximately $0.48 to $0.54.
Segment Reporting Structure Update
S1 has redefined its business segments and will now report its financial performance based on three operating segments: (1) Payments; (2) Banking: Large Financial Institution; and (3) Banking: Community Financial Institution.
- The Payments segment includes the Company's ATM and point-of-sale driving, card management, and merchant acquiring solutions provided to financial institutions, retailers and transaction processors of all sizes globally.
- The Banking: Large Financial Institution segment includes the Company's consumer, small business and corporate online banking, trade finance, and mobile banking solutions provided to large banks globally, and branch and call center banking solutions provided to large banks outside of the United States. This segment also contains the Company's non-core custom projects, including State Farm, which are being separately disclosed to provide better visibility into S1's go-forward core business.
- The Banking: Community Financial Institution segment includes the Company's consumer and small business online banking, mobile banking, voice banking, branch and call center banking solutions provided to community and regional banks and credit unions in the United States.
Mr. Dreyer concluded, "The new operating segments more clearly reflect S1's evolving business model and should provide greater visibility into the growth trends of the company. Despite the results of the first quarter, we believe that the fundamentals of our business are strong. The investments we have been making in customer satisfaction and product initiatives are beginning to pay off and should create significant opportunities to increase both revenue and margins in our core business. We believe our prospects are compelling as we continue to focus on creating sustainable long-term growth and value for our shareholders."

Financial Information
Financial segment information for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, as reported under the new operating segment structure, is available in Appendix A to the Investor Presentations located on the Company's website, www.s1.com, in the Investor Relations section under "About S1".
Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP
Our results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, we use non-GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance, assist management decisions, and in communications with our Board of Directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. Although we believe that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding our results of operations, our non-GAAP financial measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, our financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The use of non-GAAP financial measures is subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under U.S. GAAP and because they involve the exercise of management's judgment of which charges should properly be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. Management accounts for these limitations by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP financial measures, but only using such information to supplement U.S. GAAP financial results. Our non-GAAP financial measures may be different from such measures used by other companies.
We are presenting Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, below and reconciling to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP equivalent of which is Net income for our consolidated results and Operating income for our segment results. We define Adjusted EBITDA as, in the case of our consolidated results, Net income plus interest and other expense (income), plus income taxes or, in the case of our segment results, Operating income, in each case adjusted for depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and stock-based compensation expense. We believe that excluding depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest and other expense (income) and income taxes provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors understanding our core operating results and trends. Not only are depreciation and amortization expenses based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on present or future replacement costs, but they are also based on management's estimates of remaining useful lives. Additionally, while stock-based compensation is an important part of overall compensation expense, a portion of our stock-based compensation expense is the result of cash-settled stock appreciation rights that are revalued each quarter for U.S. GAAP earnings based in part on the closing price of our stock on the last day of the quarter. Consequently, fluctuations in our stock price can have a significant impact on our reported U.S. GAAP earnings. See Tables 4, 5, 6 and 7 for reconciliations of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA.
We are presenting Cash earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, below and reconciling to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP equivalent of which is Net income and earnings per share. We define Cash earnings as Net income plus amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation and deferred income taxes. We calculate Cash earnings per share by adding back the per share impact of adjustments from diluted earnings per share. We believe Cash earnings per share is a useful financial measure which provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors understanding trends of our income. Amortization of intangibles is generally expensed over several periods and may not be indicative of current cash expenditures. We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation provides useful supplemental information to help understand the changes in our earnings per share due to the fluctuations of our cash-settled stock appreciation rights included in stock compensation. We exclude the impact of deferred income taxes on earnings as the temporary differences and the changes in valuation allowances may be misleading for trend analysis. See Table 1 for reconciliation of non-GAAP Cash earnings per share to U.S. GAAP Diluted earnings per share.
