Bottomline Technologies Exceeds Revenue and Earnings Expectations
Record Revenues and Backlog Highlight Fourth Quarter Results
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – August 8, 2007 –Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY), a leading provider of collaborative payment and invoice automation solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
Revenues for the fourth quarter were $32.3 million, a 25% increase from revenues of $26.0 million in the fourth quarter of last year. The growth in revenues was highlighted by a 45% increase in software license revenues to $4.1 million in the current quarter from $2.8 million in the fourth quarter last year.
Net loss for the fourth quarter was $1.6 million, or net loss per share of $0.07. During the fourth quarter, operating expenses of $20.2 million included acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets of $2.8 million and stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million.

“Bottomline had a strong fourth quarter,” said Rob Eberle, President and CEO of Bottomline Technologies. “Record revenues for the quarter were driven in particular by our more complex payments solutions for banks and supported on a broader basis by our corporate payments, invoice and document solutions. During the quarter, we signed a significant multi-year contract with a major property and casualty insurer for our Legal eXchange™ service, which contributed to the second highest order quarter in our history and record backlog. Over the next several quarters, we plan to accelerate our development plan for the Bottomline Business eXchange™ to better serve our customers with the full benefits and efficiencies of a true Software as a Service (SaaS) offering.”
Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were $118.3 million as compared with $101.7 million in the prior year, representing a 16% increase. Net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $7.0 million, or net loss per share of $0.30.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the company incurred acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets of approximately $9.3 million and stock-based compensation expense of $7.9 million.

Bottomline has presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part of this earnings release. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain non-cash items, specifically amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense. The presentation of this information should not be considered in isolation to, or as a substitute for, the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Bottomline believes that these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for an evaluation of the company with a focus on the performance of its core operations. Bottomline’s executive management team uses these same non-GAAP measures internally to assess the ongoing performance of the company. Since this information is not a GAAP measurement of financial performance, there are material limitations to its usefulness on a stand-alone basis, including the lack of comparability of this presentation to the GAAP financial results of other companies. A reconciliation of the GAAP results to the non-GAAP results for the three and twelve month periods ending June 30 is as follows:
