Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

 

Geac reported revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 of $116.1 million, an increase of $13.5 million compared to $102.6 million in revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003.  Gross revenue remained steady from Geac’s third quarter, traditionally the quarter in which the Company generates the greatest revenue.  Software license revenue represented $18.4 million of the fourth quarter total, a 15.4% increase over the same quarter last year when software license sales generated $15.9 million.  The Company’s net income was $22.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of last year (a quarter in which the Company incurred significant restructuring and goodwill impairment charges).  Net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 increased by $8.2 million from $14.4 million, in the third

 



 

quarter of this year.  The gross profit margin increased to 62.7% of revenue from 61.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 as a result of higher margin support and services revenue as a percentage of the revenue mix and cost reductions.  Geac’s fourth quarter gross profit margin was 2.2% higher than in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004.

 

“This is the strongest fourth quarter performance Geac has recorded in three years, and the highest net income in the same time frame.  We are especially encouraged by the increase in momentum as Geac sustained third quarter gross revenue – traditionally the Company’s strongest performing quarter – into the fourth quarter and continued to show increases in maintenance and professional services, as lower margin hardware sales declined,” Charles S. Jones, Geac’s President and CEO, said. “Selling new software licenses played an important role in the fourth quarter as it did throughout fiscal year 2004, as consecutive quarter license revenue in our Library Solutions and Local Government units grew 44.6% and 41.2% respectively, and year-over-year license revenue for the fourth quarter in our System21 business unit increased 23.4%. In addition, we saw continued momentum in sales of Geac Performance Management (GPM) solutions to existing and new Geac customers. Software license sales growth also drove increased revenue for Geac Professional Services.  We committed previously to control costs, and we have delivered.  Compared to the third quarter, development costs were down in the fourth quarter, even though we introduced new products, as were general and administrative costs.  Our profitability is improving in multiple regions globally, which allows us to access previously unrecognized net operating losses in those jurisdictions in order to produce a lower effective tax rate and higher net income.  As the Company projected in September of last year at its annual meeting, the Interealty business made money in the second half of fiscal year 2004.”

 

FISCAL YEAR 2004 Full Year Financial Highlights

 

For the full year ending April 30, 2004, Geac reported revenue of $445.3 million, an increase of $36.8 million compared to $408.5 million in revenue for fiscal year 2003. Software license sales contributed $65.2 million to that total, an increase of $15.8 million, or 32%, compared to fiscal year 2003 software license sales of $49.4 million.  The Company’s net income in fiscal year 2004 was $57.2 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, an increase of 79.4% compared with net income of $31.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share last year.  Geac’s gross profit margin increased to 60.7% in fiscal year 2004 compared to 58.6% in fiscal year 2003.

 



 

“For the year overall, Geac performed well in a stabilizing enterprise resource planning (ERP) software market,” Mr. Jones continued.  “Our 79.4% increase in net income is testimony to the fiscally responsible manner in which Geac management has integrated our new businesses, invested in key products and managed all Company resources.  Fiscal year 2004 gives us a solid platform upon which to build potentially even greater shareholder value going forward, as we continue to execute our ‘build, buy and partner’ strategy to maximize the value and utility of Geac solutions for new and existing customers worldwide.”

 

Despite an increase in revenues, operating expenses were $50.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, compared to $60.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.  This represents a 17.8% decrease in operating costs in the fourth quarter of 2004 over the fourth quarter of 2003.  Fourth quarter operating expenses declined $1.0 million, or 2.0%, compared to $51.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004.  For the full-year ended April 30, 2004, operating expenses were $197.9 million, compared to $185.3 million in fiscal year 2003 an increase of 6.8%.  Included in fiscal year 2003 results was goodwill impairment of $11.5 million in fiscal year 2004, there was no impairment of goodwill.  Operating costs for fiscal year 2004 as a percentage of revenue actually declined by 0.9% compared to fiscal year 2003.

 

In accordance with accounting standards set by the Accounting Standards Board (of Canada), in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, Geac elected to adopt Section 3870 (Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments) and began recording compensation expense using the prospective method of accounting for stock options, available to companies that adopt Section 3870 in their 2004 fiscal years.  Recording this compensation expense related to stock options has increased expenses in Geac’s fiscal year 2004 year-end results by approximately $2.4 million and decreased EPS by approximately $0.02. Given that the full-year expense was recognized in the fourth quarter, the amount of compensation expense per quarter going forward may be less.

 

“Geac’s cash position at the close of fiscal year 2004 was $112.6 million, more than $33.5 million ahead of our position at the end of the third quarter, and a $22.7 million, or 25.3%, improvement compared to the end of fiscal year 2003,” said Donna de Winter, Chief Financial Officer of Geac.  “We more than doubled our net cash provided by operating activities achieving more than $66 million in fiscal year 2004, highlighting our ability to generate cash, which will afford us flexibility as we consider acquisition opportunities and new development initiatives.  While we continue to focus on profitability to maintain and

 



 

strengthen our financial position, we will increasingly be prepared to spend on acquisitions and new product development.”

 

Performance Management

 

During the fourth quarter Geac closed several significant GPM sales, encompassing planning and expense management applications, with new and existing Geac customers.  Most notable was a contract with NTT DoCoMo, a global communications company headquartered in Japan, which plans to use GPM to provide visibility into P&L, balance sheet and cash flow information across the company, and to offer key daily performance metrics. Other significant wins were with a multi-billion dollar global health and beauty products manufacturer; BDP International, a global logistics and transportation company; and the U.S. operations of one of the world’s largest global financial services organizations.

 

Geac announced at its Alliance users’ conference in May new releases of the MPC and Expense Management solutions within the GPM product family.  These solutions offer customers both greater functionality and flexibility – for example, expanded web enablement gives users the ability to submit or approve expense reports from any remote or wireless location anywhere.

 

Subsequent to the end of fiscal year 2004, Geac announced a new partner relationship with American Express Tax and Business Services Inc. (AMEX TBS).  AMEX TBS was a sponsor of Geac’s Alliance users’ conference in May.  Under the terms of the agreement, AMEX TBS will now offer GPM to its North American customers.  This partner relationship will combine the financial services expertise of AMEX TBS with the technology strengths of Geac to extend GPM to a broader audience.

 

Organic Growth

 

Three Geac units enjoyed organic growth through new license sales:

 

Geac System21 – The strong appeal of System21 Aurora, Geac’s next generation ERP system with real-time business process management capabilities, continues to drive business for Geac in the mid-market ERP sector.  The unit capped its fourth quarter with a System21 Aurora sale valued at approximately $900,000 to Marubeni-Komatsu Ltd., the sole UK distributor for Komatsu construction equipment.  In total during the fourth quarter, System21 closed approximately 230

 



 

deals, encompassing license sales, professional services and maintenance, contributing significantly to the division’s 29% year over year revenue growth.  Also during the fourth quarter, System21 Aurora was enhanced with integrated reporting and analysis including budgeting functionality derived from GPM.

 

Geac Library Solutions – Continuing to build upon the momentum it established earlier in the year, Geac Library Solutions won a dozen deals in the fourth quarter, including two new customer accounts – the Library for the Blind in Belgium and the Police Region Midden Gelderland in the Netherlands – for Vubis Smart, Geac’s next-generation library automation system.  The largest single contract during the period was a six-figure sale to a leading technical college in the Netherlands.

 

Geac Local Government – Focused on opportunities in Australia and New Zealand, Geac Local Government has won contracts with 10 councils (municipalities or counties) during the past year to replace their land information systems (LIS).  Most recently, the City of Auburn, home to the majority of the Sydney Olympics sporting venues and a population of more than 50,000, purchased Geac’s LIS, called Pathway PPR.  In addition, in the fourth quarter the City of Melbourne signed a six-figure contract to install additional Pathway PPR modules as part of their PINS3 (Penalty Infringement Notice System) project, to expedite processing approximately 450,000 parking tickets a year.

 

Customers

 

In the fourth quarter, Geac closed approximately 640 Enterprise Applications Systems software deals.  Twenty-two deals exceeded $150,000, and the average deal size within this group of twenty-two deals was $234,000.  Some deals included:

 

                  Geac Performance Management – Fortis, a top 20 European banking, insurance and investments group; George Wimpey UK Ltd., the UK’s highest-volume house builder; a global financial services company with over $1 trillion in assets under management and a multi-billion dollar global health and beauty products manufacturer.

 

                  System21 – Marubeni-Komatsu Ltd.; Dawn Food Products, one of the world’s largest independently owned bakery equipment manufacturers and distributors; Plastech Engineered Products, a premiere

 



 

manufacturer of blow-molded and injection-molded plastic products for the automotive industry and a global medical device and equipment manufacturer.

 

                  RunTime – Apparel manufacturers VF Europe and Etam Retail Services (Miss Etam/Promiss).

 

Concluding Remarks

 

“We are pleased with our results this quarter and with the consistency of the Company’s performance throughout fiscal year 2004.  Entering fiscal year 2005, we believe Geac is serving its customers well, and is on a path toward growth in selected markets.  Our performance also demonstrates this management team’s fiscal responsibility, and its ability to steer a steady course in a complex and variable global business environment,” said Mr. Jones.  “However strong we feel our fourth quarter results have been, we still recognize that market conditions and the complexity of our business continue to be intensely challenging.  In the fourth quarter, we benefited from many parts of our diverse business performing well at the same time, and in some areas from a benefit associated with the value of the U.S. dollar, and local tax rates.  As we strive to be successful in increasing new license revenue, there will likely be greater volatility in revenue from quarter to quarter due to the unpredictable timing of new license sales and our rigorous application of the accounting rules governing recognition of revenue.  Any future acquisitions will also impact upon the volatility of results.  These results do not indicate for us that we have overcome the strong seasonality of our revenue and profits.  While we will remain focused on cost control, serial improvement in margins and run rates from these results may not be achievable.”

Supplementary Information

(amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data and as otherwise noted)

 

Segmented information

 

The Company reports segmented information according to CICA 1701, “Segment Disclosures.” This standard requires segmentation based on the way management organizes segments for monitoring performance.

 

The Company operates the following business segments, which have been segregated based on product offerings, reflecting the way that management organizes the segments within the business for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

 

Enterprise Applications Systems (EAS) offer software solutions, which include cross-industry enterprise business applications for financial administration and human resource functions, and enterprise resource planning applications for manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain management.

 

Industry-Specific Applications (ISA) products include applications for the real estate, construction, banking, hospitality and publishing marketplaces, as well as a range of applications for libraries and public safety administration.

 

There are no significant inter-segment revenues. Segment assets consist of working capital items, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be corporate assets. Property, plant and equipment are typically shared by operating segments and those assets are managed by geographic region, rather than through the operating segments.

 

During the year, the Company determined that given the nature of the products offered in its local government product line the inclusion of the local government business in the EAS segment was no longer appropriate.  As a result, the local government business has been reclassified from EAS to ISA.  For comparison purposes, the Company has reclassified revenue, contribution margin and segment assets relating to this business in its comparatives.  The impact on revenue and segment assets for fiscal 2003 was approximately $10,354 and $2,071 respectively.
