Callidus Software Inc.

Q1 Revenues of $22.0 Million up 11% Over Q1 of 2011; Q1 SaaS Revenue up 28% Year Over Year; Q1 SaaS Billings up 25% Year Over Year

PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - May 2, 2012) - Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ: CALD), the leader in Sales Performance Management (SPM), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

"I was pleased with our recurring revenue growth as well as the addition of over 120 new logos in the quarter -- a new quarterly record. We continued to expand our gross margin and in particular our recurring revenue gross margin, which on a non-GAAP basis is up 1,000 basis points year on year. Our acquisitions all performed well, improving our cross sell performance. We believe we have a significant revenue growth opportunity ahead of us and we plan to meet that head on with a 50% increase in sales heads by the end of this year."

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter 2012

  • Total revenue was $22.0 million for the first quarter, representing an increase of 11% compared to the same quarter last year. Total recurring revenues, which include SaaS revenues and maintenance and support, were $16.9 million, up 15% compared to the first quarter of 2011. SaaS revenues of $12.8 million were up 28% while maintenance and support revenues of $4.1 million were down 13% as compared to the first quarter of 2011. Service and other revenues were $5.1 million, consistent with the first quarter of 2011. 
  • Total GAAP gross margin was 46% for the first quarter up from 39% in the same quarter in 2011. 
  • Non-GAAP gross margin represented a quarterly record at 53% for the first quarter, up from 45% in the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2012 excludes $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense and $492,000 of amortization of acquired intangibles.
  • First quarter non-GAAP recurring revenue gross margins which exclude $547,000 of stock-based compensation and $486,000 of amortization of acquired intangibles were 61%, up from 51% for the first quarter of 2011.
  • GAAP net loss was $7.0 million, or ($0.20) per share, for the first quarter of 2012, which included $3.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $442,000 of restructuring expense, $766,000 amortization of acquired intangible assets, $837,000 convertible note related items, $613,000 patent litigation cost, $370,000 acquisition related expense and a tax benefit of $224,000 due to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities related to the intangible assets from our acquisition during the first quarter. This compares to a GAAP net loss of $2.4 million, or ($0.07) per share, for the first quarter of 2011, which included $2.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, $39,000 of restructuring expense, $190,000 of amortization of acquired intangible assets, $146,000 acquisition related expense and $300,000 of patent litigation cost.
  • Non-GAAP net loss was $979,000, or ($0.03) per fully diluted share, for the quarter, compared to non-GAAP net income of $641,000, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the same period last year. The company's non-GAAP results for the first quarter of 2012 exclude the effects of $3.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $766,000 of amortization of acquired intangibles, $370,000 of acquisition related expenses, $613,000 of patent litigation costs, $837,000 of convertible note related items, $442,000 of restructuring expense and a tax benefit of $224,000 due to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities related to the intangible assets from acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Callidus has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP recurring revenue gross profit, operating expense, income (loss) from operations, net loss and net loss per share. Callidus uses non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Callidus' operating performance. Callidus believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional insight for investors to use in evaluation of ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in Callidus' industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, acquisition related expense, patent litigation cost, convertible note interest expense, amortization of convertible note issuance cost, gain from extinguishment of convertible note and amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
