Results Commentary

James Heppelmann, president and chief executive officer, commented, “For the second quarter, our total non-GAAP revenue was $302 million and our non-GAAP EPS was $0.30. As we discussed on our April 5, 2012 conference call, Q2 financial results were below expectations due to reduced license sales, impacted primarily by a large transaction in Europe that did not close and lower than expected performance in North America. Total license revenue of $75 million increased 1% year over year and on an organic basis decreased 10% year over year. Our total revenue was up 12%, reflecting contribution from MKS and 4CS as well as the growth of our maintenance and services business. On an organic constant currency basis, our total revenue was up 4% year over year.”

Heppelmann added, “While we are disappointed with our Q2 results, our market momentum and competitive positioning remain strong and we expect our pipeline to benefit over time from our focus on increasing sales capacity. Our organizational realignment around five market segments is progressing on plan and, importantly, we remain committed to driving long-term operating margin improvement.”

Jeff Glidden, chief financial officer, commented, “We delivered $0.30 of non-GAAP EPS in part due to better than anticipated services margins and continued discipline on operating expenses. We ended Q2’12 with $224 million of cash, up from $187 million at the end of Q1’12, reflecting strong operating cash flow, $40 million used to repay our revolving credit facility and $15 million for stock repurchases.”

Outlook Commentary

Glidden continued, “Looking to the full year FY’12, we are now targeting non-GAAP revenue growth of 8% to 10%. We are targeting license revenue growth of approximately 5%, services growth of approximately 14% and non-GAAP maintenance growth of approximately 9%. We expect MKS and 4CS to contribute approximately $90 million in revenue for the full year, including $3 million in non-GAAP revenue. We continue to anticipate significant improvement in services non-GAAP net margins with a target of approximately 10% to 11% for the year. Even with lower license revenue expectations for FY’12, we are targeting approximately 130bps of non-GAAP operating margin improvement, which reflects our focus on improving profitability. Our new FY’12 non-GAAP EPS target is $1.42 to $1.50.”
