Financial Results
Revenue in the first quarter was $5.4 million and exceeded the high end of the $4.2 to $4.8 million guidance previously provided, compared to Q1’06 revenue of $5.3 million. Revenue for our core products, iPrism and LivePrism was 29% higher in Q1’07 vs Q1’06. During the first quarter of 2007 the company completed the sale of the UpdateExpert product line. The sale resulted in a $3.7 million gain consisting of an acceleration of $2.6 million of deferred revenue and cash in the amount of $1.2 million. The gain associated with the sale of UpdateExpert is included in Other Expense (Income) and not included in the company’s operating revenue.
Total cost of sales in the first quarter was $1.6 million, up $200,000 over the first quarter of 2006.
Operating expenses were $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $3.3 million over the same period in 2006. The increase in operating expenses for Q1’07 vs Q1’06 include $1.5 million in sales & marketing and $1.5 million in general & administrative.
Loss per share for the first quarter was $0.06, compared to the $0.13 loss per share reported for the first quarter of 2006. St. Bernard Software’s cash balance was $1.2 million at March 31, 2007.
Financial Discussion
“We have successfully completed the chapter of change here at St. Bernard, and positioned the company to execute on our aggressive growth plan with two core products, iPrism and LivePrism,” said Vince Rossi, CEO of St. Bernard Software. “Throughout the last three quarters we have positioned the company to attack a largely unsolved problem common to the small
and medium size businesses around the world. Simply stated, a lack of IT resources and security knowledge continue to be significant challenges our customers face. Our new product suites, iPrism and LivePrism, are specifically designed to address and solve these important problems for our customers. iPrism continues to generate significant customer adoption as it grew 27% year-over-year in new acquisition billings, and we are equally excited about our recent launch of LivePrism, our On-Demand Messaging Security Service.
Operating expenses were high compared to the billings generated during Q1. These expenses are primarily associated with our new LivePrism business and are a direct result of investment in capacity to serve a growing business. Although we anticipate good sales growth for LivePrism, we expect operating expenses for LivePrism to remain high when compared to sales for the next few quarters.
We believe we have built a strong foundation for growth in 2007 and beyond and remain very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead,” added Rossi.
