Results Commentary

 

James Heppelmann, president and chief executive officer, commented, "For the second quarter, our total non-GAAP revenue was $302 million and our non-GAAP EPS was $0.30. As we discussed on our April 5, 2012 conference call, Q2 financial results were below expectations due to reduced license sales, impacted primarily by a large transaction in Europe that did not close and lower than expected performance in North America. Total license revenue of $75 million increased 1% year over year and on an organic basis decreased 10% year over year. Our total revenue was up 12%, reflecting contribution from MKS and 4CS as well as the growth of our maintenance and services business. On an organic constant currency basis, our total revenue was up 4% year over year." 

Heppelmann added, "While we are disappointed with our Q2 results, our market momentum and competitive positioning remain strong and we expect our pipeline to benefit over time from our focus on increasing sales capacity. Our organizational realignment around five market segments is progressing on plan and, importantly, we remain committed to driving long-term operating margin improvement." 

Jeff Glidden, chief financial officer, commented, "We delivered $0.30 of non-GAAP EPS in part due to better than anticipated services margins and continued discipline on operating expenses. We ended Q2'12 with $224 million of cash, up from $187 million at the end of Q1'12, reflecting strong operating cash flow, $40 million used to repay our revolving credit facility and $15 million for stock repurchases." 

 

Outlook Commentary

 

Glidden continued, "Looking to the full year FY'12, we are now targeting non-GAAP revenue growth of 8% to 10%. We are targeting license revenue growth of approximately 5%, services growth of approximately 14% and non-GAAP maintenance growth of approximately 9%. We expect MKS and 4CS to contribute approximately $90 million in revenue for the full year, including $3 million in non-GAAP revenue. We continue to anticipate significant improvement in services non-GAAP net margins with a target of approximately 10% to 11% for the year. Even with lower license revenue expectations for FY'12, we are targeting approximately 130bps of non-GAAP operating margin improvement, which reflects our focus on improving profitability. Our new FY'12 non-GAAP EPS target is $1.42 to $1.50." 

The FY'12 targets assume a non-GAAP tax rate of 25%, a GAAP tax rate of 20% and 121 million diluted shares outstanding.  The FY'12 non-GAAP targets exclude approximately $21 million in restructuring charges, $3 million for the effect of purchase accounting on acquired MKS deferred maintenance revenue, $51 million of stock-based compensation expense, $36 million of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, $1 million of other expense, $3 million of acquisition-related expenses, and their related income tax effects. 

Glidden added, "For Q3, we are providing guidance of $300 to $315 million in non-GAAP revenue, which includes approximately $22 million in non-GAAP revenue from the MKS and 4CS businesses. We are expecting approximately $75 to $85 million in license revenue in Q3, services revenue growth of approximately 12%, and non-GAAP maintenance revenue growth of approximately 7%. We are expecting non-GAAP EPS of $0.28 to $0.32."   For Q3, the GAAP EPS target is $0.15 to $0.20. 

The Q3 guidance assumes a non-GAAP tax rate of 25%, a GAAP tax rate of 20% and 121 million diluted shares outstanding.  The Q3 non-GAAP guidance excludes $0.2 million for the effect of purchase accounting on acquired MKS deferred maintenance revenue, $12 million of stock-based compensation expense, $9 million of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense, and their related income tax effects.
