Guidance Software Reports Q3 2011 Financial Results

 

   

Revenue: $27.3 million, up 14% year over year

 

   

Non-GAAP EPS: $0.09 per share, up $0.05 year over year

 

   

Addition of 77 customers to the EnCase® Enterprise platform during the quarter, as compared to 22 in Q3 2010

PASADENA, Calif. – November 1, 2011 – http://www.guidancesoftware.com/?cmpid=701A0000000LM9uGuidance Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: GUID) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, setting new revenue and earnings per share records.

Third quarter 2011 financial highlights, calculated in accordance with GAAP include:

 

   

revenue of $27.3 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 14 percent, from $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2010

 

   

product revenue of $14.8 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 24 percent, from $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2010

 

   

services and maintenance revenue of $12.5 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 4 percent, from $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2010

 

   

GAAP net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $0.8 million, or ($0.03) per share, in the third quarter of 2010.

On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes share-based compensation and amortization of intangibles, the company reported pre-tax net income of $2.1 million, or $0.09 per share, in the third quarter of 2011, compared to non-GAAP pre-tax net income of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per share, in the third quarter of 2010.

Guidance Software President and Chief Executive Officer Victor Limongelli said, “We are extremely pleased with our performance this quarter. We delivered record revenues, operating income, and non-GAAP EPS, while also adding the highest number of new customers to the EnCase® Enterprise platform in a single quarter. We continue to focus on enhancing our product offerings and increasing our margins and profitability, while maintaining our operating expense discipline.”

Limongelli added, “We are very proud of our achievements over the past three months, including the launch of EnCase® Forensic Version 7, and industry recognition as a “Leader” in the early case assessment space by IDC. In particular, EnCase® Version 7, as well as the new automated response functionality in EnCase® Cybersecurity for security information and event management systems such as ArcSight, display our continued commitment to product innovation. As we look ahead, we will continue to grow Guidance’s presence in the forensics, e-discovery and cybersecurity spaces. We remain keenly focused on executing on our strategic plan and further enhancing shareholder value.”

Third Quarter 2011 Highlights and Recent Noteworthy Events

 

   

The company added 77 new EnCase® Enterprise customers in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 22 in the third quarter of 2010. The company also added 32 customers of EnCase® eDiscovery or EnCase® Cybersecurity, both of which are built on the EnCase® Enterprise platform.


   

Industry analyst firm IDC named Guidance Software a leader in early case assessment (ECA) in a new report, the “IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Standalone Early Case Assessment Applications 2011 Vendor Analysis.”

 

   

In October 2011, the company announced that EnCase® Cybersecurity version 4.3 now integrates with security information and event management systems, including out-of-the-box integration with the industry’s leading SIEM, ArcSight , to automate response to security incidents. When an attack or breach event is suspected, the SIEM system can now automatically trigger an EnCase® Cybersecurity forensic response, including exposing, collecting, triaging and remediating data related to threats – taking action on or gathering data about a security event that might otherwise have been missed. This capability fills a critical gap in information security by helping organizations respond automatically to security attacks and breaches, giving them the capacity to react to more events and reduce the time between a breach and incident response.

2011 Financial Outlook:

The company is increasing its guidance for the year ended December 31, 2011, as follows:

 

   

Revenue is expected to be in the range of $102 million to $104 million, representing year-over-year growth of 11 percent to 13 percent.

 

   

Non-GAAP pre-tax earnings are expected to be approximately $0.18 – $0.23 per share.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

This press release and its attachments include the non-GAAP financial measures of income (loss) before income taxes excluding share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, amortization of intangibles and certain state sales tax charges and non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes per share excluding share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, amortization of intangibles and certain state sales tax charges, which are reconciled to net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, respectively, which we believe are the most comparable GAAP measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. We describe limitations specific to each non-GAAP financial measure below.

Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP income (loss) is defined as follows: GAAP net income (loss) before income taxes excluding share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, amortization of intangibles and certain state sales tax charges. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 718) Compensation – Stock Compensation Topic (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”) for equity awards to employees and directors. Management and the Board of Directors believe it is useful to review the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, which excludes income taxes and expenses related to share-based compensation, acquisition-related expense, amortization of intangibles and certain state sales tax charges in evaluating the Company, its management team and business unit performance during a particular time period. Share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, amortization of intangibles, certain state sales tax charges and income taxes are not the responsibility of operating managers and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management.

Additionally, we believe it is useful in measuring the Company’s performance to exclude expenses related to income taxes, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, amortization of intangibles and certain state sales tax charges because it facilitates comparability with prior period information.

Accordingly, management and the Board of Directors do not consider these excluded costs for purposes of evaluating the performance of the business, and they exclude such costs when evaluating the performance of the Company, its business units and its management teams and when making decisions to allocate resources among the Company’s business units.
