Concur Technologies Announces
First Quarter Revenue Up 52% Year-Over-Year
Subscription revenue increases 68% year-over-year and operating margin increases 74%
REDMOND, Wash., January 31, 2007 - Concur Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNQR), the world’s leading provider of on-demand Corporate Expense Management services today reported financial results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2006.
Concur reported total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 of $29.2 million, driven by subscription revenue which was up 68% from the year-ago quarter. Total revenue for the quarter was up 52% from the year-ago quarter and up 6% sequentially. Fiscal 2007 first quarter net income, which includes a provision for income taxes of $1.4 million, was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, and was above company expectations. This compares to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, in the year-ago quarter, which did not require a full provision for income taxes.
“We started fiscal 2007 with an exceptional quarter, as we exceeded our revenue, gross margin, operating margin and earnings targets. Even as we invested across the business to drive better than 50% top line growth, we were able to grow operating margin by 74%,” said Steve Singh, chairman and CEO of Concur Technologies. “New customer growth continued to be strong across the breadth of our services and we are pleased with the demand environment. In particular, customers continue to embrace the value proposition and end user benefits of our end-to-end travel and expense service.”
Singh continued, “As we look ahead, we remain focused on aggressively growing top line revenue while maintaining our operating leverage. To support this objective, we will continue to invest in expanding our distribution and market reach while delivering new services and innovations that not only set the standard in the travel and expense market, but also raise our market-leading standard for high quality on-demand services.”

CONCUR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
About Concur’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. The tables above reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, and they differ from GAAP measures with similar names and from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We strongly urge investors and potential investors in our securities to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this release, and our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the other financial information contained in our periodic filings with the SEC and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Concur believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Concur’s operating results because they exclude amounts that Concur excludes as part of its monitoring of operating results and assessing the performance of the business. Concur believes that its non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison of results for current periods and business outlook for future periods with results of past periods. Concur presents the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release: non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP net income; and non-GAAP pre-tax earnings per share. Concur excludes the following items as noted from these non-GAAP financial measures:
| • | | Share-based compensation expenses. Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, which consist of expenses for stock options that it began recording under SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Concur excludes these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and the exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of results for fiscal 2006 and business outlook for future periods with results for prior periods, which did not include share-based compensation expenses. |
| • | | Amortization of acquired intangible assets. In accordance with GAAP, operating expenses include amortization of software and other technology assets, other purchased intangible assets such as customer lists and covenants not to compete. Concur excludes these items from its non-GAAP financial measures because they are non-cash expenses that Concur does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and Concur believes that doing so facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories. |
| • | | Provision for income taxes. In accordance with GAAP, Concur began recording a provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Concur excludes this expense from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is largely a non-cash expense that Concur does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business, and the exclusion of this expense facilitates the comparison of business outlook for future periods with results for prior periods, which did not include a provision for income taxes. |
Except as noted below, Concur believes that all of the following considerations apply equally to each of the non-GAAP financial measures that we present:
| • | | Concur’s management uses non-GAAP operating income (including the derived non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP pre-tax earnings per share in internal reports used by management in monitoring and making decisions regarding Concur’s business. For example, these measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management, and in quarterly reports to Concur’s Board of Directors. Concur also uses non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP pre-tax earnings per share as measures that determines executive cash incentive compensation, along with GAAP measures, such as revenue. |
| • | | Because share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets are non-cash in nature and the provision for income taxes is largely non-cash in nature, Concur believes that non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP pre-tax earnings per share provide a more focused view of the operations of its business. In particular, share-based compensation amounts are difficult to forecast, because the magnitude of the charges depends upon the volume and timing of stock option grants - which are unpredictable and can vary dramatically from period to period - and external factors such as interest rates and the trading price and volatility of the company’s common stock. In addition, the provision for income |

| taxes can vary significantly because losses in its foreign operations are not included in the calculation of the consolidated provision for income taxes as we have not yet released the reserves against the deferred tax assets for our foreign operations. Excluding these amounts improves comparability of the performance of the business across periods. |
| • | | The principal limitation of Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. |
| • | | To mitigate this limitation, Concur presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results, and recommends that investors do not give undue weight to its non-GAAP financial measures. Concur notes that the dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in fully-diluted shares outstanding used in calculating both GAAP earnings per share and our non-GAAP earnings per share. |
Concur’s management believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because it allows investors to view the business through the eyes of management, facilitates comparison of its results across historical and future periods, and because its non-GAAP financial measures provide a special focus on the underlying operating performance of the business relative to expectations.
