Advent Software Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - July 29, 2013) - Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADVS), a leading provider of software and services to the global investment management industry, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

"I am pleased to report Advent delivered a strong second quarter with record revenue and non-GAAP profitability, and strong renewals," said Pete Hess, Chief Executive Officer at Advent. "We continue to win new business, while also investing in our solutions, and we're doing it all while ensuring that we deliver the operational efficiency gains we're committed to achieving. It is exciting to see these results as we continue to execute on our strategy and deliver results and value to our shareholders and clients."

SECOND QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

Recapitalization Transaction
As previously announced, the Company entered into a new $425 million senior credit facility and declared a one-time special cash dividend of $9 per share. In connection with the dividend, the Company modified its outstanding equity awards to preserve the pre-dividend economic value. The special dividend was approved by Advent's Board of Directors on June 12, 2013 and paid to stockholders on July 9, 2013. Of the $9 per share distribution, totaling $470 million, Advent currently expects between $2 to $3 per share to be characterized as a dividend for tax purposes, and the remaining amount of the distribution to be characterized as a return of capital.

GAAP Results for Continuing Operations
The Company reported quarterly revenue of $96.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $89.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, a 7% increase.

Advent's results for the second quarter of 2013 included costs associated with the recapitalization transaction. These costs, on a pre-tax basis, were composed of $6.7 million of third party costs which were not included in capitalized debt issue costs and $21.9 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the equity award modification.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $(5.8) million, or (6.1)% of revenue, compared to operating income of $12.1 million or 13.4% of revenue for the second quarter of 2012. 

Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $(4.2) million compared to net income of $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Diluted net loss per share in the second quarter of 2013 was $(0.08), compared to diluted net income per share of $0.14 in the second quarter of 2012. 

Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2013 was $21.9 million, compared with $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $404 million as of June 30, 2013, compared to $247 million as of March 31, 2013, a 64% increase. Total outstanding debt as of June 30, 2013 was $225 million compared to $93 million as of March 31, 2013. After payment of the special dividend on July 9th, 2013, total outstanding debt was $350 million. Total deferred revenue as of June 30, 2013 was $174 million, compared to $177 million as of March 31, 2013.

Non-GAAP Results for Continuing Operations
Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2013 was $31.0 million, or 32.3% of revenue. This represents a 55% increase compared to $20.0 million from continuing operations, or 22.3% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2012. On a fully diluted basis, non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.37 in the second quarter of 2013 and represent a 56% increase from non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.24 in the second quarter of 2012.

The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of this press release.

RECONCILIATION OF SELECTED CONTINUING OPERATIONS' GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
 

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (or GAAP), Advent uses non-GAAP measures of continuing operations' gross margin, operating income, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, income, gains and losses we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Advent's underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. In addition, these non-GAAP results are among the information management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
