DETROIT--July 22, 2010--Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today announced final financial results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2010.
“Compared to this time last year, Compuware has a healthier, higher-growth solution portfolio with much stronger competitive positioning,” said Compuware President and COO Bob Paul. “Compuware’s non-mainframe solutions’ revenues are up 44 percent year-over-year, excluding divested products. Each of these growth engines delivered double digit percentage increases in year-over-year license fees or subscription revenues in Q1.
“Our planned reduction of unprofitable services engagements has almost doubled Compuware’s professional services segment contribution margin year-over-year to nearly 11 percent in Q1,” continued Paul. “This strategy has impacted Compuware’s total Q1 revenues modestly, while positioning the services business to reach our 15 percent margin goal by Q4.”
Compuware reports first quarter revenues of $206.5 million, compared to $214.4 million in Q1 last year. First quarter earnings per share were six cents, compared to 21 cents in Q1 last year, based upon 227.6 million and 242.5 million shares outstanding, respectively. During Q1 last year, Compuware EPS were positively impacted by 14 cents per share from the gain on the divestiture of the company’s quality solutions business.
First quarter net income was $12.6 million compared to $51.0 million in the same period last year. During Q1 last year, Compuware net income was positively impacted by $33.8 million from the after-tax gain on the divestiture of the company’s quality solutions business.
During the company’s first quarter, software license fees were $33.3 million compared to $31.8 million (excluding divested products) and $40.6 million (as reported) in the first quarter last year. Maintenance and subscription fees were $116.8 million in the first quarter compared to $106.3 million (excluding divested products) and $111.1 million (as reported) in the first quarter last year. Revenue from professional services in the first quarter was $56.4 million, compared to $62.7 million in the same quarter last year.

A significant portion of the company's product software revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement. Therefore, to supplement the understanding of Compuware's software business, we believe it is important to also consider the amount of product commitments, which represents the full contractual value of each product software arrangement entered into during the reporting period.
