Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Serena Software, Inc. (“Serena”) is currently in the process of seeking an extension of the final maturity date of its term loan due March 10, 2013 under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2011 (as heretofore amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Serena, the lenders party thereto from time to time, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Barclays Capital, as lead arranger, bookrunner and syndication agent.
Serena is providing the following unaudited guidance for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2012:
• | Software license revenue is expected to be in the range of $54.7 million to $54.9 million, as compared to $51.4 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011; |
• | Maintenance revenue is expected to be in the range of $141.5 million to $141.7 million, as compared to $144.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011; |
• | Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $219.2 million to $219.6 million, as compared to $214.4 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011; |
• | Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $85.5 million to $85.9 million, as compared to $86.9 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011; |
• | Net income is expected to be in the range of $8.6 million to $9.0 million, as compared to a net loss of $9.6 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011; |
• | Cash flows from operating activities are expected to be in the range of $32.0 million to $32.3 million, as compared to $46.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011; |
• | Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $109.7 million as of January 31, 2012; |
• | Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $3.8 million, as compared to $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011; and |
• | Total debt is expected to be approximately $442.8 million as of January 31, 2012, consisting of the term loan ($308.5 million), revolving credit loan ($0.0 million) and senior subordinated notes due March 15, 2016 ($134.3 million). |
Maintenance renewal rates, which represent maintenance revenue derived from the renewal of maintenance contracts during the applicable fiscal year relative to maintenance revenue derived from such maintenance contracts during the prior fiscal year, were approximately 92%, 94% and 93% during fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Maintenance attach rates, which represent first-year maintenance revenue relative to license revenue derived from software license transactions completed during the fiscal year, were approximately 16%, 17% and 19% during fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure used to determine Serena’s compliance with certain covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain defined unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Credit Agreement. Serena believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors regarding its compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.
1
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that Serena may consider not to be indicative of its ongoing operations. In particular, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the Credit Agreement allows it to add back certain defined non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating GAAP net income (loss). The Credit Agreement requires that Adjusted EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter and may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.
The following is a reconciliation of net (loss) income, a GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement.

(3) | Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of leasehold improvements, amortization of acquired technologies, amortization and impairment of other intangible assets, and amortization of stock-based compensation. |
(4) | Restructuring, acquisition and other charges include employee payroll, severance and other employee related costs associated with transitional activities that are not expected to be part of our ongoing operations, and travel and other direct costs associated with our merger in March 2006. |
The foregoing information related to Serena’s financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended January 31, 2012 is estimated, unaudited and subject to adjustment. Accordingly, this information should be considered forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations of Serena’s financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended January 31, 2012. While Serena believes these expectations are reasonable, these forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, further review by Serena’s management and audit committee of its board of directors and the results of a financial audit to be conducted by Serena’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the course of the preparation of the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements, additional items that would require material adjustments to the preliminary financial information presented above may be identified. Given these risks and uncertainties, Serena’s actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and Serena does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, changed circumstances or otherwise.
