SumTotal Systems Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results
Subscriptions Revenue Grows 23% Year-over-Year; Recurring Revenue Increases to 54% of Total Revenue
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – July 29, 2008 – SumTotal® Systems (Nasdaq: SUMT), the market leader and a global provider of talent development solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Second Quarter 2008 Results
On a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, total revenue for the second quarter 2008 increased to $31.9 million from $30.2 million in the second quarter 2007. GAAP net loss was $1.0 million, or $0.03 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.05 per share in the second quarter 2007.
Non-GAAP revenue for the second quarter 2008 increased to $32.0 million from $30.5 million in the second quarter 2007. Non-GAAP net income was $1.8 million, or $0.06 per share on a diluted basis, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.9 million, or $0.06 per share on a diluted basis, a year ago.
Cash flows from operating activities were $4.1 million for the quarter and $7.7 million for the first six-months of 2008.
Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of certain one-time charges primarily related to restructuring activities, if any, and non-cash accounting adjustments and charges primarily related to acquisition accounting, stock-based compensation, and any related income tax effects. A reconciliation to the GAAP results is provided in the attached statements.
"We delivered on our commitment and beat our forecast for the second quarter,” said Don Fowler, SumTotal’s chief executive officer. “In the quarter, we increased recurring revenue to 54% of total revenue, grew our twelve-month trailing subscriptions bookings 38% compared with the same period last year, and we doubled our performance management business. And we delivered SumTotal Version 8, the only unified Talent Development Suite on the market. These are great results.”

On a non-GAAP basis, revenue is estimated to be between $29.0 million and $31.0 million. Non-GAAP net income is estimated to be between $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis, and $1.3 million, or $0.04 per share on a diluted basis.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In managing its business financial performance and establishing internal financial plans and targets, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide greater transparency in managing its operations and business. The Company has presented these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to allow investors to see how management views the operating performance of the Company and how it communicates the performance internally. The Company has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting. This non-GAAP information is subject to material limitations and is not intended to be used in isolation or instead of results prepared in accordance with GAAP but rather in addition to the GAAP results. Also, the non-GAAP information prepared by the Company is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to GAAP is included in the financial tables contained in this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided herein.
The adjustments and the basis for excluding them are as follows:
Deferred Revenue Write-Down
The Company excludes the impact of the write-down of acquired deferred revenue to fair value relating to its acquisitions of Pathlore Software Corporation and MindSolve Technologies, Inc. This has the effect of increasing licenses and subscriptions and support revenue to the amounts that would have been recorded in the absence of the purchase accounting adjustments required by GAAP. This is done to provide management with better visibility on the contractual revenue run-rate, subscriptions and support renewal rates, and the operating profitability of the business.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
The Company has incurred expenses for amortization of intangible assets in the cost of sales numbers reported in its GAAP financial results. These expenses relate to various acquisitions of companies and technology. Management excludes these expenses when evaluating its operating performance because it believes that it provides for better comparability between periods and provides results that are more reflective of the operating performance of the business.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has incurred stock-based compensation as required by FAS 123R. The Company excludes these expenses from services and subscriptions and support cost of revenue, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses because it believes that the information is not relevant in managing its operations. Excluding these expenses also provides for results that better reflect the economic cash flows of the operations.
Restructuring Charges
The Company has incurred expenses for restructuring activities and accounted for them in accordance with FAS 146. These include but are not limited to employee severance and leasehold termination costs. Because of the one-time nature of these charges, management excludes them in evaluating its operating performance.
Income Taxes Expense Related to Acquired Net Operating Losses
As a result of prior acquisitions, the Company has acquired net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) to which no value was allocated as prescribed by purchase accounting. Use of these NOLs during fiscal year 2008 resulted in a non-cash charge to provision for income taxes. Consistent with its treatment of other non-cash acquisition expenses, the Company has excluded these expenses when evaluating its operating performance.
Income Taxes
Other than the NOLs, these adjustments are not tax effected as management believes that given the Company's historical operating losses and other tax considerations, they would not result in an additional tax charge to the income statement.
