Jive Software Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results


PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: JIVE), the world's leading provider of modern communication and collaboration solutions for business, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

"Jive reported fourth quarter and full year 2014 financial results that exceeded our expectations for both revenue and profitability," said Elisa Steele, CEO and President of Jive. "During the quarter we won several exciting internal community customers in highly competitive situations, and also experienced strong market momentum with key JiveX wins.  However, our short-term billings growth of 16% for the quarter was below our expectations."

Steele added, "In 2015 we are aligning the entire organization to better capitalize on our market opportunity and grow faster over time. Specifically, we are simplifying our products and sales efforts around targeted use-case solutions that address discrete business problems for a broader array of customers.  We believe this approach will enable customers to more quickly realize the improvement Jive's industry-leading solutions can have on the ability of their employees, customers and partners to connect, communicate and collaborate.  We believe this strategy can deliver improved operational and financial performance over time."

  • Introduced three new mobile workstyle product experiences – Jive Daily, Jive Chime and Jive People – that ensure employees stay informed, connect in real-time across devices, and quickly find experts within a company.  The new apps, which are purpose-built for employees' specific communications and collaboration needs, can be used independently or leveraged collectively through simple interoperability to drive even greater knowledge and value for employees. The first product from the portfolio, Jive Daily, will be available February 18th, with Jive Chime and Jive People to follow in subsequent quarters.

  • Recognized as a Leader in the worldwide and European enterprise social networks market by IDC. Jive was also recognized as a Leader in social enterprise networking suites by Experton.  These mark the seventh major independent research firm to name Jive as a leader in the enterprise communication and collaboration market and the eighth analyst report to name Jive a Leader in 2014.

  • Named Ofer Ben-David as Jive's executive vice president of engineering. Mr. Ben-David brings nearly twenty years of product development, engineering and operations experience to Jive, most recently having served as the vice president of engineering at VMware, where he led the global central engineering organization.

Financial Outlook:  As of February 10, 2015, Jive's guidance for its first quarter and full year 2015 is as follows:

  • First Quarter 2015 Guidance:
    • Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $46.0 million to $47.0 million.
    • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $4.4 million to $5.4 million.
    • Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.05 to $0.07 based on approximately 73.9 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. 
  • Full Year 2015 Guidance:
    • Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $195.0 million to $200.0 million.
    • Short-term billings is expected to grow in the range of 5% to 10%.
    • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $14.0 million to $18.0 million.
    • Non-GAAP loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.22 to $0.29 based on approximately 75.0 million weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. 
    • Free cash flow is expected to be in the range of negative $2.0 million to negative $7.0 million

With respect to the Company's expectations under "Financial Outlook" above, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP loss from operations or non-GAAP loss per share to GAAP loss from operations and GAAP loss per share because the Company does not provide guidance for stock-based compensation, income taxes or amortization of intangible assets, which are reconciling items between those Non-GAAP and GAAP measures.  As certain items that impact GAAP loss from operations and GAAP loss per share are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, the Company is unable to provide such guidance.  Accordingly, a reconciliation to GAAP loss from operations and GAAP loss per share is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release.  Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 

Non-GAAP gross profit, loss from operations, net loss and net loss per share exclude stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of acquisition related intangible assets.  Total billings is defined by the Company as revenue plus the change in total deferred revenue. Short-term billings is defined as revenue plus the change in short-term deferred revenue.  Management presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operational performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the accompanying tables.
