Update to Stock Repurchase Program
STARLIMS purchased an aggregate of 213,278 common shares since the commencement of its recent stock repurchase program, at a cost of $1.5 million, with an average price per share of $7.26. The company approved the stock repurchase program on February 13, 2008. The program allows STARLIMS to purchase an aggregate of $2 million of the Company’s common stock over a period of 18 months. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $500,000 remaining on its stock repurchase program.
Guidance
STARLIMS is updating its financial guidance for fiscal year 2008 based on the impact the current economic environment is having on deal sizes, deal closure and implementation cycles. Management currently expects slight growth in total revenue for fiscal year 2008 compared to total revenue for fiscal year 2007. For the fourth quarter, the Company expects positive GAAP earnings per share which includes approximately $0.01 of stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions.
“We are taking a conservative approach to the outlook of our business for the remainder of the year based on the tightening of IT budgets, smaller initial deal sizes and the elongation of sales and implementation cycles we encountered toward the end of the third quarter,” said Chaim Friedman, CFO of STARLIMS. “We are committed to running a sustainably profitable business and believe we can do so through revenue diversification, ongoing cost management and optimization within our services organization.”
Note on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, STARLIMS uses non-GAAP measures of gross margin, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non recurring expenses, non-cash equity based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R) and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions. Our management believes that the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release can assist investors in understanding and assessing the Company’s on-going core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. Reconciliation between GAAP to non-GAAP statement of income is provided in the table below.
