SS&C Technologies Reports Fourth Quarter and 2010 Results

WINDSOR, CT — February 17, 2011 — SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSNC), a global provider of software-enabled services and financial services software, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010.

“2010 was the highest-ever revenue year in SS&C’s history and we believe we can continue our success in 2011,” said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc.

GAAP Results

The Company reported quarterly revenue of $86.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $71.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, or an increase of 21.2%. Total annual revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $328.9 million, a 21.4% increase over the $270.9 million in 2009.

GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $21.0 million, or 24.4% of revenue, up from $19.1 million in 2009’s fourth quarter. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $79.8 million compared to $67.1 million for 2009.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $9.2 million compared to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $32.4 million compared to $19.0 million for 2009, a 70.4% increase.

On a fully diluted basis, earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $0.12 and represent a 33.3% increase from $0.09 in the fourth quarter of 2009. On a fully diluted basis, earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $0.44 and represent a 46.7% increase compared to 2009’s $0.30 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP Results

Adjusted Revenue, which is adjusted for one-time purchase accounting adjustments (a non-GAAP measure defined in note 1 to the attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Information), was $86.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of $15.0 million or 21.1% from $71.1 million in the same period for 2009.

Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure defined in note 2 to the attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Information) in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $34.1 million, or 39.6% of revenue. This represents a 17.6% increase compared to $29.0 million and 40.8% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted operating income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $129.2 million. This represents a 21.3% increase compared to adjusted operating income of $106.5 million for 2009.

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure defined in note 4 to the attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Information) for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $18.2 million compared to $13.3 million in 2009’s fourth quarter, a 36.6% increase. Adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $65.6 million and represented a 40.7% increase compared to $46.6 million for 2009.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure defined in note 4 to the attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Information) in the fourth quarter were $0.24 and represent a 14.3% increase from $0.21 in the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $0.90 and represented a 23.3% increase compared to $0.73 per share in 2009.

Cash Flow

SS&C generated net cash from operating activities of $75.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $59.9 million for the same period in 2009, representing a 26.3% increase. We ended 2010 with $84.8 million of cash on the balance sheet. SS&C’s leverage ratio as defined in our credit agreement stood at 1.85 for the year ended 2010, down from 6.8 when we went private in November of 2005.

Annual Run Rate Basis

Annual Run Rate Basis (ARRB) recurring revenue, defined as the addition of maintenance and software-enabled services revenue, was $74.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, an annual run-rate of $298.9 million. This represents an increase of 24.5% from $60.0 million and $240.0 million run-rate in the same period in 2009 and an increase of 3.6% from Q3 2010’s $72.1 million and $288.6 million run-rate. We believe ARRB of our recurring revenue is a good indicator of visibility.

Acquisitions

The Company acquired three businesses in 2010 including Geller Investment Partnership Services (GIPS), the thinklink business from TD Ameritrade, and TimeShareWare. GIPS provides accounting, reporting, performance, tax and investor services for the private equity industry. The thinklink software platform is an internet-deployed trade order management and execution solution with more than fifty institutional sell-side clients. The TimeShareWare acquisition includes software solutions for shared-ownership resorts and has more than 500 product installations around the world including Marriott, Group RCI, Holiday Inn Vacation Club Vacations, and more.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

Note 1. Reconciliation of Revenue to Adjusted Revenue

Adjusted revenue represents revenue adjusted for one-time purchase accounting adjustments to fair value deferred revenue acquired in business combinations. Adjusted revenue is presented because we use this measure to evaluate performance of our business against prior periods and believe it is a useful indicator of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted revenue is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted revenue does not represent revenue, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted revenue as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted revenue and revenue, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted revenue.

Adjusted revenue	$	86,121	$	71,093	$	329,094	$	270,963

Note 2. Reconciliation of Operating Income to Adjusted Operating Income

Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue and other expenses. Adjusted operating income is presented because we use this measure to evaluate performance of our business and believe it is a useful indicator of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted operating income is not a recognized term under GAAP. Adjusted operating income does not represent operating income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted operating income as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures.

Note 3. Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Consolidated EBITDA, defined under our Credit Agreement entered into in November 2005, is used in calculating covenant compliance, and is EBITDA adjusted for certain items. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described below. Adjusted consolidated EBITDA is calculated by subtracting acquired EBITDA from consolidated EBITDA. EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA are presented because we use these measures to evaluate performance of our business and believe them to be useful indicators of an entity’s debt capacity and its ability to service debt. EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities. EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA do not represent net income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. The following is a reconciliation between EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA and net income.

Note 4. Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net income and earnings per share before amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation, capital-based taxes and other unusual and non-recurring items. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, do not represent net income or diluted earnings per share, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or diluted earnings per share as indicators of our operating performance. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are important to management and investors because it represents our operational performance exclusive of the effects of amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation, capital-based taxes and other unusual and non-recurring items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of our competitors. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share and net income and diluted earnings per share.
