Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results:
- Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $5.7 million, matching the $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2011.
- Net income for the second quarter of 2012 in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) was $0.8 million, compared to net income of $1.4 million in the same period last year.
- GAAP earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.03, compared to $0.06 in the same period last year.
- Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million, compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2011.
- Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.05, compared to $0.06 for the second quarter of 2011.
- Operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2012 was $1.4 million, compared to operating cash flow of $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. During the second quarter of 2012, options were exercised for approximately $0.6 million.
- Cash as of June 30, 2012 was $19.8 million, compared to $22.0 million as of March 31, 2012. Cash usage during the quarter included $3.4 million related to the earnout paid in connection with the Company's acquisition of Authentium's antivirus assets during 2010 and $0.6 million related to the Company's share repurchase program initiated during the quarter.
"Our second quarter 2012 performance was highlighted by significant progress toward our strategic plan and Commtouch's ongoing evolution from a key security technology provider into a cloud-driven 'security as a service' solutions provider. While revenue was in line with the equivalent quarter of 2011, our recent investments in our global sales and marketing infrastructure have now begun to yield impressive results and have set the stage for renewed revenue growth. Contracts signed during the second quarter reflected the highest level of quarterly new business wins in more than two years. These new contracts are expected to come online, ramp and begin positively impacting our revenues in the second half of 2012 and 2013.
"During the quarter we strengthened our management team, increased our focus on our customers' evolving security needs, renewed our investments in research and development, as well as reinvigorated our sales and marketing activities. Our success on these fronts puts us on track with regard to our timeline for the launch of new offerings, including enhanced mobile antivirus support, a new advanced persistent threat offering later this year, and our next generation cloud-based 'security as a service' offerings targeted for rollout in early 2013. Overall, I am confident we are taking the right steps to strategically position Commtouch in some of the fastest growing segments of the global IT security solutions market, while remaining focused on profitability and renewed long-term growth," stated Shlomi Yanai, Commtouch's chief executive officer.
Announced in May of 2012, Commtouch's Board of Directors authorized the initiation of a stock repurchase program of the company's ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount in cash of up to $2.5 million. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 198,000 shares have been repurchased through the program at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.6 million.
For information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Information."
Second Quarter 2012 Business Highlights:
- Commtouch's strengthened global sales team delivered the strongest quarter of new business wins in more than two years. These new multi-year contracts consist of new customers as well as up sell contracts with current Commtouch customers. The combined value of these second quarter contract signings is forecasted to represent approximately 5% annual revenue growth based on full year 2011 revenues. These contracts are expected to begin coming online and positively impacting the Company's revenue growth as they ramp throughout the second half of 2012 and 2013.
- Key new client wins during the quarter reflected our enhanced international sales and marketing penetration, including: the sale of our antivirus and anti-spam offerings to a large service provider in the Asia Pacific region; the sale of our antivirus service to a leading network equipment vendor based in the United States for its data storage product line; and the sale of our GlobalView™ Web filtering to a leading antivirus provider serving end users in Europe and Latin America.
- As part of Commtouch's long-term strategy and evolution from a cutting edge technology provider to a world class solutions provider, management recruited key professionals to further strengthen the Company's leadership. Second quarter appointments included Pete Shah as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Sidra Berman as Vice President of Marketing.
Business Outlook
Based on the Company's first half revenues, current outlook for the second half of 2012, and the anticipated ramp of recent contract wins, the company is updating its full year guidance accordingly. Full year 2012 revenue is now expected to increase between 2% and 6% over full year 2011 levels. The Company continues to focus on internal cost efficiency measures while simultaneously executing on its previously announced strategy of making a higher level of investment in the areas of research and development, sales, and marketing to support the development and deployment of Commtouch's next generation solutions. As a result, Commtouch continues to expect non-GAAP net income for the full year 2012 to be at, or above, $5.0 million.
The aforementioned business outlook includes a minimal contribution from the pending acquisition of the antivirus business of FRISK, announced today, which is currently anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2012.
The above outlook is as of the date of this release, and the company undertakes no obligation to update its estimates in the future.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: share based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, deferred taxes, acquisition related costs and adjustments to earnout obligation related to the Command antivirus acquisition. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the company's performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of the company's core operating results. The company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Company management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and make operating decisions.
These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. The company believes this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the company's current and future operating cash flow performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.
