Rackable Systems Announces Record Fiscal 2006 Revenue and Earnings
Record Annual Revenue of $360.4 M and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.94
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2007--Rackable Systems, Inc.,
(NASDAQ:RACK) a provider of servers and storage products for scale out data
center deployments, today announced financial results for the quarter and year
ended December 30, 2006.
Q4 Highlights
-- Record quarterly revenue of $106.9 million, up 28.6% from Q4'05
-- Non-GAAP EPS of $0.19
-- Non-GAAP gross margin of 19.8%
2006 Highlights
-- Record annual revenue of $360.4 million, up 67.6% from 2005
-- Record annual non-GAAP EPS of $0.94
-- Non-GAAP gross margin of 22.4%
"For the first time in Rackable System's history, we have broken the $100
million quarterly revenue mark," stated Tom Barton, Chief Executive Officer of
Rackable Systems. He continued, "However, as we noted in our press release on
January 16th, during the fourth quarter we faced several unexpected challenges
that negatively impacted our gross margin and earnings per share. The gross
margin pressure we experienced this quarter was primarily due to increasingly
competitive conditions and an unanticipated increase in DDR memory pricing.
Despite these difficulties, we were able to retain and expand key customer
relationships during the quarter. Additionally, while sales of our higher-margin
RapidScale(TM) products were impacted by a longer than expected product rollout,
we remain optimistic about long-term prospects for this business."
Q4 Financial Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 30, 2006 was $106.9
million, up 28.6% from $83.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the company recorded stock-based
compensation charges of $7.8 million, amortization of patents and customer list
of $359,000 and amortization of intangibles in connection with the Terrascale
acquisition of $553,000, resulting in a GAAP net income for the fourth quarter
of $563,000 or $0.02 per diluted share compared to a GAAP net income of $7.3
million or $0.32 per diluted share in the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP net
income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $5.6 million or $0.19 per diluted
share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $7.6 million or $0.33 per diluted
share in the same period a year ago.
GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 18.8% compared to
24.9% in the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth
quarter was 19.8% compared to 24.9% in the same period a year ago.
2006 Financial Results
Total revenue for the twelve months ended December 30, 2006 was $360.4
million, up 67.6% from $215.0 million in the twelve months of 2005.
During 2006, the company recorded stock-based compensation charges of $20.8
million, amortization of patents and customer list of $1.4 million, write-off of
acquired in-process R&D of $2.8 million and amortization of intangibles in
connection with the Terrascale acquisition of $690,000, resulting in GAAP net
income for the twelve months of 2006 of $11.5 million or $0.40 per diluted
share, compared to $8.5 million or $0.47 per diluted share in the same period a
year ago. Non-GAAP net income for 2006 was $27.0 million or $0.94 per diluted
share, compared to $15.0 million or $0.83 per diluted share in the same period a
year ago.
GAAP gross margin for 2006 was 21.4% compared to 23.1% in the same period a
year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin for 2006 was 22.4% compared to 23.1% in the same
period a year ago.
Non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release exclude
stock-based compensation expense, write-off of in-process R&D and amortization
of intangibles and other assets recorded in connection with the Terrascale
acquisition, amortization of patents and customer list in connection with the
acquisition of the company's predecessor, change in fair value of embedded
derivatives in preferred stock, dividends on preferred stock recorded as

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
The statements in this press release regarding the company's optimistic
outlook for its RapidScale product line and the company's projections for full
year 2007 financial results, especially under the section entitled "Business
Outlook," are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially
due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: the failure of the
RapidScale products to achieve market acceptance; a significant portion of the
company's revenues come from a small number of customers, and so the delay in
placing an order, or the failure of a significant customer to place additional
orders, could have a significant negative effect on Rackable Systems' financial
performance; orders for Rackable Systems' products can be received at the end of
the quarter, and so a delay in placing an order could have a significant
negative effect on Rackable Systems' financial performance for the quarter;
Rackable Systems operates in a very competitive market, and increased
competition has in the past, and may continue, to cause pricing pressure on
Rackable Systems' products, which would negatively affect Rackable Systems'
gross and operating margins, as well as other financial measures; Rackable
Systems is unable to control component pricing, such as DDR memory pricing as
has happened in the past, and as a result component pricing can rise
unexpectedly, negatively impacting Rackable Systems' gross margins as well as
other financial measures; and new products by competitors may come on the
market, which would decrease the demand for Rackable Systems' products. Detailed
information about additional potential factors that could affect Rackable
Systems' business, financial condition and results of operations is included in
Rackable Systems' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption "Risks
Relating to Our Business and Industry," in Item 2 of that report, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 14, 2006 and
available at the SEC's Web site at www.sec.gov. Rackable Systems undertakes no
responsibility to update the information in this press release.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures discussed in the text of this press release
and accompanying non-GAAP supplemental information represent financial measures
used by Rackable Systems' management to evaluate the operating performance of
the company and to conduct its business operations. Non-GAAP financial measures
discussed in this press release exclude stock-based compensation expense,
write-off of in-process R&D and amortization of intangibles and other assets
recorded in connection with the Terrascale acquisition, cash payments related to
the Terrascale acquisition, amortization of patents and customer list in
connection with the acquisition of the company's predecessor, change in fair
value of embedded derivatives in preferred stock, dividends on preferred stock
recorded as interest expense, and related tax effects of the applicable items.
Management presents non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be
important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses the non-GAAP
financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company's
core operating performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating
budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital
investments. Management excludes these items from its non-GAAP gross margin and
non-GAAP net income, whether or not recurring items, to facilitate its review of
the comparability of the company's core operating performance on a period to
period basis because such items are not related to the company's ongoing core
operating performance as viewed by management. Management uses this view of the
company's operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business
plan and individual operating budgets and allocations of resources. Management
also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight
for analysts and investors in evaluating the company's financial and operational
performance in the same way that management evaluates Rackable's financial
performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an
analytical tool, as they exclude the financial impact of transactions necessary
or advisable for the conduct of the company's business, such as the granting of
equity compensation awards and the acquisition of Terrascale, and are not
intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Hence, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation
from the company's GAAP results of operations. Pursuant to the requirements of
SEC Regulation G, a detailed reconciliation between the company's GAAP and
non-GAAP financial results is provided at the end of this press release and
investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information as well
as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the company's SEC filings.
