Business Outlook and Guidance for Fiscal Year 2008
As a result of bigger and more complex new business transactions, an increased amount of product license revenue is being deferred and recognized in future periods. Furthermore, because the company offers a hybrid delivery model, the mix of new license and hosting business in a quarter could also have an impact on revenue in a particular quarter. Due to effects that these trends have on eGain’s short-term revenue and profitability, the company believes that, in addition to the information contained in the GAAP presentation of financial information, it is useful to disclose New Hosting and License Bookings¹ detail in this and future financial releases. The company internally uses this metric to focus management on the productivity of the sales team and period-to-period changes in the company’s core business. Therefore, the company believes that this information is meaningful and helpful in allowing individuals to better assess the ongoing nature of eGain’s core operations. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
New hosting and license bookings grew 408% year over year to $5.8 million for the quarter, from $1.1 million in the year ago quarter. Approximately 33% of the new hosting and license bookings in the quarter was from new hosting contracts and 67% from new license contracts. Over $2.1 million of license revenue booked in the quarter is being deferred and will be recognized in future periods. New hosting and license bookings grew 20% year over year to $11.1 million for the fiscal year from $9.2 million in fiscal year 2006. Approximately 39% of the new hosting and license bookings was from new hosting contracts and 61% from new license contracts in the fiscal year 2007.
New hosting and license bookings for fiscal year 2008 are expected to be in the range of $13 million to $15 million. Hosting bookings are expected to be in the range of 30% to 40% of total new hosting and license bookings. Cash flow from operations for fiscal year 2008 is expected to be positive.
| ¹ | New Hosting and License Bookings is a non-GAAP measure the company defines as new contractual commitments (excluding renewals) received by the company for the purchase of product licenses and hosting services.Such contracts are not cancelable for convenience but may be subject to termination only for cause/breach of contract by the company. |
