Blackbaud, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2013 Results

Announces Second Quarter 2013 Dividend

CHARLESTON, S.C. - May 1, 2013 - Blackbaud, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLKB), the leading provider of software and services to the nonprofit sector, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

“Our first quarter results were a solid start to 2013, as our revenue and profitability were above the high end of our guidance ranges,” stated Marc Chardon, Chief Executive Officer of Blackbaud. “There is growing awareness among non-profit organizations that they need to invest in new or upgraded fundraising software and related solutions in order to achieve their missions. We are still in the early stages of benefitting from our integrated product strategy following the acquisition of Convio, and we are encouraged by customer feedback that continues to be very positive on the direction of our company and solutions.”

First Quarter 2013 GAAP Financial Results

Blackbaud reported total revenue of $115.6 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 22% compared to $94.7 million for the first quarter of 2012. GAAP income from operations and net income were $4.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, compared with $5.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2012. Diluted earnings per share were $0.06 for the first quarter of 2013, consistent with $0.06 in the same period last year.

First Quarter 2013 Non-GAAP Financial Results

Total non-GAAP revenue, including $0.6 million of deferred revenue write down associated with the Convio acquisition, was $116.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, which exceeded the high-end of the company's guidance. Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes the write-down of Convio deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, integration and restructuring costs, and CEO severance costs, was $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2013, up from $13.2 million in the same period last year and above the high-end of the company's guidance. Non-GAAP net income was $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2013, up from $7.8 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.26 for the first quarter of 2013, up from $0.17 in the same period last year and above the high-end of the company's guidance.

A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

“The first quarter was a strong performance from a profitability perspective as we benefitted from the realization of the merger integration and cost synergy efforts that we've undertaken in recent quarters,” said Tony Boor, Chief Financial Officer of Blackbaud. “With customer demand trends remaining stable and our operational efficiency improving at a faster than expected pace, we have the opportunity to move forward more quickly with investments in core back office systems that will help our integrated organization scale from a long-term perspective. We continue to believe that executing against our operational efficiency plans can drive meaningful shareholder value with improved revenue growth over time, providing additional opportunity for value creation.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The company ended the first quarter with $8.4 million in cash, compared to $13.5 million at the end of 2012. The company generated $12.9 million in cash flow from operations during the first quarter, returned $5.5 million to stockholders by way of dividend, invested $7.1 million in capital expenditures and capitalized software and reduced its debt balance by $4.5 million.

Blackbaud has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP operating margin. Blackbaud uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Blackbaud's ongoing operational performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
