Double-Take Software, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2010 Financial Results

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2010--Double-Take Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: DBTK), a leading provider of recovery solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2010 increased 3.9% to $18.9 million from $18.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. Software revenue increased 6.8% to $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. Maintenance and professional services revenue increased 1.8% to $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Loss from operations was $(0.5) million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $(0.2) million in the first quarter of 2009. Net loss totaled $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) per share in the first quarter of 2010 compared with $0.0 million, or $0.00 per share, in the first quarter of 2009.

“Although our top line failed to meet our expectations, there were a number of encouraging signs. First and foremost, renewals were strong and increased by approximately 12% over last year with renewal rates increasing to the mid-80%. This signals to us more stabilization in our market. Software license sales did grow globally and were up approximately 13% in the US. HP also had a comparatively strong quarter with sales more than doubling over the first quarter last year. We were also pleased with our margins and net income given the reduced revenue. With this said, to continue to produce solid operating margins we will hold back on many hires until we are growing at a higher rate,” said Dean Goodermote, Chairman and CEO of Double-Take Software Inc. “We previously announced that we had received unsolicited, non-binding, written conditional indications of interest to acquire the Company. Our Board of Directors, in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, continues its review of these indications of interest, as well as evaluating other possible strategic transactions. However, there can be no assurance that any transaction will occur,” continued Goodermote.

Income from operations on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis in the first quarter of 2010 was $0.7 million compared with $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. Adjusted, non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2010 was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. This compares with $1.0 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009.

The Company calculates these adjusted non-GAAP income measures stated above and for the full year as stated below by excluding the effects in the respective periods of the non-cash stock based compensation. An explanation of these adjusted, non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP results are provided in the tables included in this press release, and these measures should only be viewed together with the reconciliation and the further explanation given under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

The Company announced a $15 million stock repurchase program on February 3, 2010. Since that time, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of its common stock, or 4.5% of shares outstanding on December 31, 2009 for $8.4 million.

Cash generated from operations was $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2010. Cash and short term investments at March 31, 2010 totaled $88.7 million, a decrease of approximately $7.5 million from December 31, 2009.

2010 Financial Guidance

We are cautious about predicting second quarter revenue. We saw a meaningful number of deals push in our first quarter and a meaningful number may follow the same pattern in this quarter. In large part this may be due to the continued effects on us of the macroeconomic conditions we have seen slow down customer purchase decisions. Also there may be some uncertainty surrounding our announcement of our possible acquisition. Therefore, we will not be providing guidance for the second quarter of 2010. We are providing full year guidance which we are adjusting to take into account the results from the first quarter and our current expectation of exchange rates.

The Company is providing guidance for the full year 2010 as follows: Revenue is expected to be in the range of $84.0 to $88.0 million. Adjusted non-GAAP operating income is expected to be between $9.6 and $12.6 million and non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.27 to $0.36 per share excluding the impact of stock-based compensation charges and assuming a 36% effective income tax rate. Both operating income and non-GAAP EPS exclude the effect of expenses incurred or to be incurred related to the review of the indications of interest and related strategic activities. Weighted average diluted shares using the treasury method are expected to be approximately 22.8 million for the year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Double-Take Software, Inc. has provided in this press release adjusted financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are identified above as “adjusted, non-GAAP” measures. Double-Take Software, Inc. uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s operational performance. Double-Take Software, Inc. believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Double-Take Software, Inc.’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The historical non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude the following item required to be included by GAAP: non-cash stock-based compensation charges. The Company’s expectations for adjusted, non-GAAP income and income per share for the full year 2010 exclude the impact of stock-based compensation charges and expenses relating to strategic matters, the amount and significance of which, because of the information and assumptions underlying those charges and expenses, cannot readily be determined at this time.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
