PROS Holdings Reports Record Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results

HOUSTON --(Business Wire)-- PROS Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PRO), a leading provider of pricing and revenue optimization science and software, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were a record $14.4 million, a 34% increase over the second quarter of 2006. License and implementation revenues were $9.9 million in the quarter, an increase of 49% from $6.7 million in the prior year period.



For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, PROS reported income from operations, in accordance with GAAP, of $2.0 million compared with $1.5 million for the same period in 2006, a 37% increase. Net income per diluted share was $0.06 for the quarter compared to net income per diluted share of $0.07 for the same period in 2006. The decrease was principally related to interest expense related to the debt incurred in connection with redemptions of preferred stock and payments of dividends before the Company went public.

Bert Winemiller, Chairman and CEO of PROS stated, "The completion of our IPO at the end of June was just one event in what was another successful quarter for PROS. We are pleased to share highlights from the second quarter and first half of 2007. The second quarter of 2007 marked record revenue and strong operating income. Second quarter revenue was $14.4 million, which was up 34% on a year-over-year basis. Our non-GAAP operating income was $2.4 million, up 65% year-over-year, and we produced non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.07.



"We continue to experience strong demand for our pricing and revenue optimization software products running on the industry leading PROS Pricing Platform," stated Bert. "PROS Pricing Analytics, Pricing Execution and Pricing Optimization products deliver the Power of Pricing Excellence to our customers and provide innovative advanced pricing science and high-performance real-time transaction processing. PROS proven track record, proven processes and proven products are the foundation of our success and has allowed us to attain outstanding levels of customer satisfaction."

Non-GAAP income from operations was $2.4 million, which excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million, representing growth of 65% on a year-over-year basis. Non-GAAP net income of $1.6 million or $0.07 per share was in line with non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2006.

The attached table represents a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP income from operations and net income as well as net income per share available to common stockholders for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Cash and equivalents were $4.2 million for the second quarter and decreased from $42.5 million at the end of 2006, primarily due to the redemption of preferred stock and payments of dividends. The cash position as of June 30, 2007 does not include net proceeds of $52.4 million from the company's initial public offering, which closed in July.

Charlie Murphy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer added, "We are pleased to have completed our IPO and to be able to report continued growth for PROS in the second quarter. Our revenue model provides a high level of predictability to our business and adds to our history of profitability and positive operating cash flow. Our overall gross margin of 70.0% in the second quarter is a record for PROS, with non-GAAP operating margin at 17% for the quarter."
