Bridgeline Digital Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2012
(GlobeNewswire - Canada Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Recurring Revenue Increased 32% Year over Year
iAPPS Revenue Increased 28% Year over Year
BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq:BLIN), developer of the award-winning iAPPS web experience management (WEM) product suite and related interactive business technology solutions, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2012 ended December 31, 2011.
First Quarter Highlights:
Revenue in the first quarter of 2012 was $6.5 million, compared to revenue of $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Recurring revenue increased 32% in the first quarter to $1 million, compared to $771 thousand in the first quarter of 2011.
iAPPS revenue increased 28% in the first quarter to $3.6 million, compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Subscription, perpetual licenses and managed services revenue increased 23% to $1.2 million in the first quarter, compared to $985 thousand in the first quarter of 2011.
Total gross margin increased to 53% in the first quarter compared to 49% in the first quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation) was $428 thousand compared to $485 thousand in the first quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP net income was $73 thousand compared to $167 thousand in the first quarter of 2011.
Bridgeline Digital was ranked the 21st fastest growing Internet and Software Services Company, Globally, by the International Business Times.One-Time, Non-Cash Impairment Charge
In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash impairment charge to operations of $281 thousand related to an intangible asset assumed in a 2010 acquisition. Due to the Company's decision in the first quarter to discontinue servicing low margin, non-iAPPS development services related to government contracts, it was determined that a portion of an intangible asset was impaired. The one-time, non-cash impairment charge is included in operating expenses for the first quarter.
Fiscal 2012 Outlook
Bridgeline Digital expects Fiscal 2012 revenue to be in the range of $27 million to $29 million. The Company's revenue strategy will continue to focus on higher gross margin iAPPS driven opportunities, while discontinuing relationships with lower margin based customers, and this strategy will reflect a reduction of approximately $2.5 million in fiscal 2012 from existing customer relationships.
In addition the Company expects to continue to generate positive non-GAAP income and positive Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2012.
Bridgeline Digital recently signed an agreement with a strategic Fortune 500 Company. We believe this alliance will be a significant catalyst for iAPPS and Bridgeline for years to come. Due to the nature of iAPPS integration lead times, Bridgeline does not believe it will see a financial impact of the newly formed iAPPS alliance until its fiscal fourth quarter of 2012. Bridgeline plans to announce the details of the powerful iAPPS alliance in mid 2012.
Conference Call Today at 4:30pm EST
Bridgeline Digital will host a discussion of its first quarter results at approximately 4:30 p.m. ET today. To listen to the conference call, please dial (877) 837-3910 within the U.S. or (973) 796-5077 for international callers.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share are calculated as net income or net income per share on a diluted basis, excluding, where applicable, impairment charges, amortization of intangible assets, stock based compensation and the related tax effects.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share are defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and before stock compensation and impairment charges. Bridgeline uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
Bridgeline's management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, Bridgeline management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. Bridgeline urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Bridgeline's business.
Our definitions of non-GAAP adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from and therefore may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting their usefulness as comparative measure. Because of the limitations that non-GAAP adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA have as an analytical tool, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
