Red Hat Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2009 ResultsRALEIGH, N.C. --(Business Wire)-- Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 28, 2009. Total revenue for the quarter was $166.2 million, an increase of 18% from the year ago quarter and 1% from the prior quarter. Subscription revenue for the quarter was $139.4 million, up 14% year-over-year and 3% from the prior quarter. For the full year, total revenue was $652.6 million, an increase of 25% over the prior year, and subscription revenue was $541.2 million, up 20% year-over-year. GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year 2009 was $20.2 million and $82.5 million, respectively. After adjusting for stock compensation and amortization expenses, non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter was $39.8 million, or a 23.9% operating margin, up 70 basis points from the prior quarter and 180 basis points from the year ago quarter. Full year non-GAAP operating income was $148.4 million, an increase of 24% from the prior year. GAAP net income for the quarter was $16.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $24.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the prior quarter and $22.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the year ago quarter. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the quarter was $42.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, after adjusting for stock compensation, amortization and tax expense as detailed in the tables below. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $48.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the prior quarter and $45.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share in the year ago quarter. Both the prior quarter and the year ago fourth quarter included one-time gains in other income of $4.1 million and $4.7 million respectively that are not included in the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter. For the full year, GAAP net income was $78.7 million or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with $76.7 million or $0.36 per diluted share in the prior year. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the year was $178.1 million or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $165.3 million and $0.77 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008. Operating cash flow totaled $59.7 million for the quarter and $236.4 million for the full year. At year end, the company's total deferred revenue balance was $543.1 million, an increase of 15% on a year-over-year basis and 8% sequentially. Total cash, cash equivalents and investments as of February 28, 2009 were $846.1 million after redeeming the remaining balance of $285.5 million of convertible debentures during the quarter. "Our ability to demonstrate real value and deliver cost savings to our customers enabled us to achieve significant new milestones during the quarter, including billings in excess of $200 million and more than 100 deals in excess of $250,000. Our value proposition is even more compelling in a challenging economic environment, and we believe that's a key driver to our solid financial results and market share gains," stated Jim Whitehurst, President and Chief Executive Officer of Red Hat. "For the full fiscal year, we achieved an impressive combination of 25% revenue growth, 24% non-GAAP operating income growth and operating cash flow of $236 million, while renewing 100% of our top 25 customers up for renewal each quarter." "Solid execution by our associates and focused expense management on a continuing basis has enabled us to exceed our guidance for non-GAAP operating margins and EPS for the fourth quarter," stated Charlie Peters, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Red Hat. "We continue to enhance the company's already strong financial profile. We ended the fiscal year with cash and cash equivalents and investments of $846 million and essentially no debt. During fiscal year 2009, we redeemed $570 million in convertible debt and repurchased 2.9 million shares of the company's common stock, which reduced our diluted share count by more than 10%. In summary, it was a strong year in a very difficult economic climate."
