Item 2.02.     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 22, 2008, Epiq Systems, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2008.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The attached press release includes three non-GAAP financial measures that management uses and that the company believes may be useful to investors:

  • Non-GAAP net income, calculated as net income plus amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, share-based compensation expense, realized cash gains on financial instruments, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, acquisition related expense, and the effect of tax adjustments which are outside of the company’s anticipated effective tax rate, all net of tax;
  • Non-GAAP earnings per share, calculated as non-GAAP net income on a fully diluted per share basis; and
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, calculated as net income before interest/financing, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, realized cash gains on financial instruments, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, and acquisition related expense.

Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures are included in schedules to the press release filed with this report.  The press release also includes certain reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures for the company’s business segments.

These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) financial information included in the press release by providing management and investors with additional insight regarding results of operations.  

Management uses non-GAAP net income (i) in its strategic planning for the company and (ii) in evaluating the results of operations of the company.  The company’s compensation committee has used non-GAAP net income in evaluating the performance of management and in determining executive bonuses.  Management believes the non-GAAP net income measure provides management with additional perspective when evaluating the results of operations and may be similarly useful to investors when evaluating financial results of the company for comparable periods for the following reasons:

  • Certain of the adjusted items can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period due in part to the timing of completion of major acquisitions, the timing of major refinancings (whether or not related to those acquisitions) and similar events. Management believes the adjustments to net income to account for these types of significant corporate arrangements may be useful to investors in comparing the results of operations of the company without the effect of certain aspects of those corporate arrangements;
  • Certain of the adjusted items represent non-cash credits or charges to net income, which investors may find useful in excluding from operating results to evaluate comparable periods; and
  • Mark-to-market adjustments represent non-cash credits or charges related to its convertible debt embedded option and interest rate floor options, adjusted to reflect realized cash gains.

Management recognizes that its use of non-GAAP net income, as with any non-GAAP financial measure, has various limitations, including the fact that the adjusted item may be a normally recurring expense for the company or may involve the actual use of cash.  Nonetheless, management believes that this non-GAAP net income measure provides additional insight for investors into the operating results and business trends of the company.  A reconciliation of net income to non-GAAP net income is included in the schedules to the press release filed with this report.

Management also uses non-GAAP earnings per share, which is calculated as non-GAAP net income on a fully diluted per share basis.  Management uses non-GAAP earnings per share for the same reasons that it uses non-GAAP net income and believes that non-GAAP earnings per share may be useful to investors for the same purposes as non-GAAP net income.  The compensation committee has used non-GAAP earnings per share in evaluating the performance of management and in determining executive bonuses.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings per share to GAAP earnings per share is included in schedules to the press release filed with this report.

Management also uses non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP performance measure.  Management regularly reviews non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as it assesses its current and prospective operating results, and for assessing anticipated operating results for acquired businesses.  Management uses non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (i) in its strategic planning for the company and its business segments and (ii) in evaluating the results of operations of the company.  The compensation committee has used non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of management and in determining executive bonuses.  Management believes non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and may be useful to investors in evaluating the results of operations when comparing financial results for comparable periods for the following reasons:

  • Certain of the adjusted items can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period due in part to the timing of completion of major acquisitions, the timing of major refinancings (whether or not related to those acquisitions) and similar events. Management believes the adjustments to net income to account for these types of significant corporate arrangements may be useful to investors in comparing the results of operations of the company without the effect of certain aspects of those corporate arrangements; and
  • Certain of the adjusted items represent non-cash credits or charges to net income, which investors may find useful in excluding from operating results to evaluate comparable periods; and
  • Mark-to-market adjustments represent non-cash credits or charges related to its convertible debt embedded option and interest rate floor options, adjusted to reflect realized cash gains.

Management recognizes that its use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, as with any non-GAAP financial measure, has various limitations, including the fact that the adjusted items may be a normally recurring expense or may involve the actual use of cash.  Nonetheless, management believes that this non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA measure provides additional insight for investors into the operating results and business trends of the company.  A reconciliation of net income to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is included in a schedule to the press release filed with this report.

Exhibit 99.1

Epiq Systems, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2008 Results - Reporting 49% Operating Revenue Growth

KANSAS CITY, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Epiq Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: EPIQ) today announced results of operations for the second quarter of 2008 with operating revenue (total revenue before operating revenue from reimbursed direct costs) of $56.9 million, up 49% compared to $38.2 million for the same period last year. June 30, 2008 year-to-date operating revenue was $100.8 million, up 38% compared to $73.3 million for the prior year.

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.2 million, $0.08 per share, up 78% compared to $1.8 million, $0.06 per share, for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date net income was $5.8 million, $0.15 per share, up 205% compared to $1.9 million, $0.06 per share, for the prior year.

Second quarter 2008 net cash provided by operating activities was $7.3 million, up 22% compared to $6.0 million for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date net cash provided by operations was $15.1 million compared to $14.9 million for the prior year. A condensed consolidated cash flow statement is attached.

Epiq Systems’ management also evaluates the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) non-GAAP net income (net income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, share-based compensation, realized cash gains on financial instruments, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, acquisition-related expenses, the effect of tax adjustments which are outside of the company’s anticipated effective tax rate, and capitalized loan fee amortization, all net of tax), and (ii) non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (net income adjusted for interest/financing, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, realized cash gains on financial instruments, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, and acquisition-related expenses). Reconciliation statements for non-GAAP financial measures are provided below.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $5.9 million, $0.15 per share, up 40% compared to $4.2 million, $0.12 per share, for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date non-GAAP net income was $11.3 million, $0.29 per share, up 47% compared to $7.7 million, $0.23 per share, for the prior year.


Second quarter 2008 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $14.3 million, up 16% compared to $12.3 million for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $27.5 million, up 17% compared to $23.6 million for the prior year.

Operating revenue for the Electronic Discovery segment for the second quarter of 2008 was $16.3 million, up 34% compared to $12.2 million for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date operating revenue was $29.5 million, up 32% compared to $22.3 million in the prior year. New client engagements combined with increased work for existing clients and continued expansion of the international business contributed to the increases in operating revenues. Second quarter 2008 Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for Electronic Discovery was $8.1 million, up 25% compared to $6.5 million for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $14.5 million, up 24% compared to $11.7 million in the prior year.

Operating revenue for the Bankruptcy segment for the second quarter of 2008 was $12.5 million, compared to $16.0 million for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date operating revenue was $25.9 million, compared to $31.0 million in the prior year. Changes in revenue are related primarily to the application of Chapter 7 pricing formulas that reference short-term interest rates as well as fluctuations in Chapter 7 bankruptcy deposits due to prior periods with lower new case filing activity. Market share exhibited continuing strength and retention of existing clients remains extremely high. As reported by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, bankruptcy filings increased 27% during the first 3 months of 2008 vs. the same period in 2007. Continued increases in bankruptcy filings and potential increases in short-term interest rates would have a positive effect on future bankruptcy revenue. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $9.4 million for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $16.9 million compared to $18.5 million in the prior year.

Operating revenue for the Settlement Administration segment for the second quarter of 2008 was $28.2 million compared to $9.9 million in the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date operating revenue was $45.5 million compared to $19.9 million in the prior year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $1.4 million for the year ago quarter. June 30, 2008 year-to-date non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million, compared to $3.0 million in the prior year. The increases in both operating revenue and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA are related to new client activity. New client engagements under contract have been strong since the beginning of the year and contribute to the backlog that will be worked off in future periods.


Tom W. Olofson, chairman and CEO, and Christopher E. Olofson, president and COO of Epiq Systems stated, “We are pleased to report a very strong second quarter, and we remain on track to achieve our full year objectives. Major new client engagements contributed to operating results in every segment. Electronic discovery continues to exhibit strong growth, and we witnessed a record quarter for settlement administration. The reduced profit contribution from the bankruptcy segment is related primarily to Chapter 7 pricing tied to short-term interest rate changes. Market share remains very strong throughout bankruptcy, and we have the leading share of new corporate restructuring engagements for the year.”

Recent key events include:

  • Epiq Systems ranks as a top five provider for both e-discovery processing and e-discovery review solutions on the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Survey.
  • We completed the UK acquisition of Pinpoint Global, Ltd., an emerging provider of proprietary electronic discovery and electronic disclosure solutions.

  • The Federal Reserve reported that both corporate debt and consumer credit increased compared to the prior year, reaching $6.5 trillion and $2.6 trillion, respectively, as of March 31, 2008.
