Agile Announces Preliminary Financial Results for Second Fiscal Quarter 2007

New Customer Wins Drive Q2 Results

San Jose, CA—December 5, 2006—Agile Software Corporation (NASDAQ: AGIL), a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, today announced preliminary results for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, which ended October 31, 2006.

Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $32.5 million, compared to $31.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Total revenues for the second quarter were consistent with the guidance provided by the company in its release of September 19, 2006.

License revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $10.5 million, compared to $10.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Maintenance revenues for the quarter were $14.0 million, compared to $13.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net loss per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, was estimated to be $(0.03) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $(0.07) per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 does not take into account potential non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense resulting from the company’s ongoing review of its stock option grant practices and related accounting matters, which could impact the GAAP per share results. The GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 does include approximately $1.5 million of costs, or $(0.03) per share, related to the on-going stock option review and the now completed, previously disclosed review of the company’s Taiwan sales operations.

 


Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, which excludes stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets and gain on sale of investments, was estimated to be $(0.02) per share, compared to ($0.03) per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, which excludes stock compensation and amortization of intangible assets. The non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 includes approximately $1.5 million of costs, or $(0.03) per share, related to reviews conducted by the company as described above. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were consistent with guidance provided by the company in its release of September 19, 2006.

Management Commentary

“We were generally pleased with our results in Q2, yet we remain focused on driving more top line revenue the remainder of the year,” said Jay Fulcher, Agile President and CEO. “In Q2, we set new company records for revenues in our small and medium enterprise business and for professional service margins. We also had several strategic customer wins that confirm our PLM leadership in the high tech and electronics, life sciences, and consumer packaged goods verticals. The adoption of our new release, Agile 9.2, continues to go well and should spur more revenue opportunity for us the rest of the fiscal year.”

Agile’s premier global PLM conference, Agility Berlin, was held in Berlin in September. The conference was attended by hundreds of attendees, with keynote speakers including customers Siemens, Heinz, and Coopervision, and was sponsored by a number of Agile partners, including IBM, Microsoft, Kalypso and PRTM.

In conjunction with Agility Berlin, Cimmetry held a Berlin customer event which featured a Customer Advisory Board, and an Enterprise Visualization Forum, focusing on Cimmetry's integration strategy. Cimmetry Certified™, Cimmetry’s VAR Certification and training program, continued to gain momentum with more than sixty VARs having completed the program to date. Cimmetry also launched an eCommerce store, allowing customers to purchase AutoVue products online.

Agile announced the availability of the latest version of Agile e6 in the quarter. Key innovations in the release include the internationalization of the application, focused particularly on Asia; greater intellectual property security through increased functionality around access rights; and support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

Agile was selected by START-IT as a Hot Company in 2006. START-IT, a leading publication for manufacturing executives, recognized Agile for the second time in as many years for its breadth of PLM solutions and demonstrated customer success in helping companies drive profits and accelerate innovation.

Option Review Update

A Special Committee of Agile’s Board of Directors, consisting of an independent director and assisted by independent outside legal counsel, has substantially completed its review, commenced by the Audit Committee in July 2006, of the company’s historical practices regarding its stock option program. As previously announced by the company, the review has shown that incorrect measurement dates for financial accounting purposes were used for certain stock option grants. The Special Committee also concluded that it does not believe any current officers of the company were involved in any misconduct with respect to option grants.

As announced by the company on October 26, 2006:

 

    Agile will recognize non-cash, pre-tax charges for stock-based compensation expense for the affected periods, in amounts not yet determined;

 

    the company does not expect that any additional non-cash, stock-based compensation expense recorded as a result of these charges will affect Agile’s previously reported cash positions or revenues, although the effects of the charges on previously reported financial statements for certain periods will be material; and

    the Audit Committee and company management have concluded that Agile must restate certain annual and interim consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2000 and later, and further concluded that the company's previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon.

Agile estimates that its total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, ending January 31, 2007, will be between $33.5 million and $34.5 million. Also, the company estimates that it will have non-GAAP net income (which excludes the cost of the review of its stock option practices, stock compensation and amortization of intangibles) in the third quarter between $0.01 and $0.02 per share.
