Item 2.02                      Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 13, 2010, Acxiom Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the results of its financial performance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 and the year ended March 31, 2010.  The Company will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. CDT today to discuss this information further.  Interested parties are invited to listen to the call, which will be broadcast via the Internet at www.acxiom.com.  The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The Company’s press release and other communications from time to time include certain non-GAAP financial measures.  A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s financial statements.

The attached press release utilizes a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow available to equity.  Free cash flow available to equity is defined as operating cash flow less cash used by investing activities (excluding the impact of cash paid in acquisitions), less required payments of debt.  The Company’s management believes that this measure of free cash flow available to equity is superior to the previously reported free cash flow, since it represents the amount of money available for the Company’s discretionary spending after funding all required obligations including scheduled debt payments, and it therefore provides a useful measure of liquidity for assessing the amount of cash available for general corporate and strategic purposes.  Free cash flow available to equity is reconciled to operating cash flow, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, in a schedule to the press release.

The attached press release also includes measures of income from operations before excluded items for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and diluted earnings per share before excluded items for each period reported in the press release.  Each of these measures is presented on a non-GAAP basis by excluding unusual items.  Management believes these are meaningful measures since the unusual items are not relevant to the Company’s operations in future periods.  Each of these non-GAAP measures is reconciled to the comparable GAAP earnings measure within the body of the press release.

The attached press release also includes a measure of revenue excluding pass-through revenue from an Information Products contract for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2009.  The contract has been modified such that pass-through revenue is no longer recognized for the contract.  Management believes this is a meaningful measure for comparison to revenue for the current year since revenue for the current year does not include pass-through revenue.  The non-GAAP measure of revenue is reconciled to GAAP revenue within the body of the press release.

The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company in the attached press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Acxiom Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2010 Results

Third Consecutive Sequential Improvement in Revenue, Operating Income and Operating Cash Flow

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — May 13, 2010 — Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM), a global leader in interactive marketing, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Acxiom will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. CDT today to further discuss this information. Interested parties are invited to listen to the call, which will be broadcast via the Internet at www.acxiom.com.

John Meyer, Acxiom’s chief executive officer and president, said, “Our performance in the fourth quarter demonstrates that we continue to manage the business effectively in this economic environment. We experienced our third consecutive quarterly increase in revenue, operating income and operating cash flow. These results stem from the superb job Acxiom professionals do serving our clients and bringing value, while remaining focused on efficiency in our execution.”

Meyer continued, “We had a strong finish to our fiscal 2010. Our operating income in the second half of the fiscal year was a significant improvement over the first half and better reflected our traditional seasonal pattern. While we anticipate improvement in the economic outlook, we also expect a continued return to our seasonal revenue and operating income patterns, where the first quarter is less than the fourth quarter.”

Fourth Quarter 2010 Highlights:

·   Revenue of $288.3 million in the current quarter, compared to $288.1 million, excluding an Information Products pass-through contract (approximately $7.4 million), in the fourth quarter a year ago. GAAP revenue, including the pass-through revenue in the prior-year quarter, was $295.5 million. This contract was modified in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, and the company no longer recognizes pass-through revenue from this contract.

·   Income from operations of $35.2 million in the current-year fourth quarter, compared to income from operations of $41.6 million in the fourth quarter last year. Income from operations included unusual gain items of $1.8 million in the current year and $1.7 million in the prior year.

·   Earnings per diluted share of $0.21 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.29 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The results included $0.02 and $0.04 in unusual items in the current and prior periods, respectively. Excluding the effect of the unusual items, diluted earnings per share would have been $0.19 in the current year and $0.25 in the prior-year period.

·   Operating cash flow of $87.9 million compared to $74.7 million in the fourth quarter a year ago.

·   Free cash flow available to equity of $43.1 million, compared to $38.4 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Free cash flow available to equity is a non-GAAP financial measure; a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure, operating cash flow, is attached to this news release.

Fiscal Year 2010 Highlights:

·   Revenue of $1.099 billion in fiscal 2010, compared to $1.205 billion, excluding an Information Products pass-through contract (approximately $71.3 million), in the prior year. GAAP revenue, including the pass-through revenue, in the prior year was $1.277 billion. This contract was modified in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, and the company no longer recognizes pass-through revenue from this contract.

·   Income from operations of $98.8 million in fiscal year 2010, compared to income from operations of $92.9 million last year. The prior-year income from operations included $38.6 million in unusual loss items. Before the effect of the unusual loss items, income from operations for the prior year would have been $131.4 million.

·   Earnings per diluted share of $0.56 for the current year compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.48 in fiscal 2009. The prior-year results included $0.28 in unusual loss items. Excluding the effect of the unusual items, diluted earnings per share in the prior year were $0.76.

·   Operating cash flow of $239.3 million for the fiscal year, compared to $268.8 million a year ago.

·   Free cash flow available to equity of $108.3 million for the fiscal year, compared to $147.1 million a year ago. Free cash flow available to equity is a non-GAAP financial measure; a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure, operating cash flow, is attached to this news release.

Operational Highlights:

·   Information Services: Revenue for the quarter was $221.6 million, compared to $218.9 million in the fourth quarter of the previous year. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2010, revenue was $849.4 million, compared to $920.3 million in the previous year.  Income from operations for the quarter was $27.6 million, compared to $32.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. For the 12 months just ended, income from operations was $91.0 million, compared to $117.4 million in the previous 12-month period.

·   Information Products: Revenue for the quarter was $66.8 million, compared with $69.2 million, excluding the pass-through revenue of approximately $7.4 million from the Information Products contract referenced above, in the fourth quarter a year ago. GAAP revenue, including the pass-through revenue, in the prior quarter was $76.6 million. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2010, revenue was $249.8, compared to $285.0 million, excluding the pass-through revenue of approximately $71.3 million from the Information Products contract referenced above. GAAP revenue, including the pass-through revenue, in the prior year was $356.3 million. Income from operations for the quarter was $5.8 million, compared to income from operations of $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of the previous year. For the 12 months just ended, income from operations was $6.9 million, compared to $14.0 million in the previous 12-month period.

Income from operations includes expenses that had previously been included in corporate and other expenses. The company now allocates selling, general and administrative expenses previously included in corporate and other expenses to the two operating segments, Information Services and Information Products. Prior-year results have been reclassified to reflect the change.

Forward Looking Statements

This release and today’s conference call may contain forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements regarding an improvement in the economic outlook, and a continued return to our historical seasonal revenue and operating income patterns. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. The following are factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements: the possibility that certain contracts may not generate the anticipated revenue or profitability or may not be closed within the anticipated time frames; the possibility that significant customers may experience extreme, severe economic difficulty or otherwise reduce the amount of business they do with us; the possibility that we will not successfully complete customer contract requirements on time or meet the service levels specified in the contracts, which may result in contract penalties or lost revenue; the possibility that we may not be able to attract, retain or motivate qualified technical, sales and leadership associates, or that we may lose key associates to other organizations; the possibility that we will not be able to continue to receive credit upon satisfactory terms and conditions; the possibility that negative changes in economic conditions in general or other conditions might lead to a reduction in demand for our products and services; the possibility that there will be changes in consumer or business information industries and markets that negatively impact the company; the possibility that the historical seasonality of our business may change; the possibility that we will not be able to achieve cost reductions and avoid unanticipated costs; the possibility that the fair value of certain of our assets may not be equal to the carrying value of those assets now or in future time periods; the possibility that changes in accounting pronouncements may occur and may impact these forward-looking statements; the possibility that we may encounter difficulties when entering new markets or industries; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our current reports on Form 8-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual report on Form 10-K, particularly the discussion under the caption “Item 1A, RISK FACTORS” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2009.

With respect to the provision of products or services outside our primary base of operations in the United States, all of the above factors apply, along with the difficulty of doing business in numerous sovereign jurisdictions due to differences in scale, competition, culture, laws and regulations.

We undertake no obligation to update the information contained in this press release or any other forward-looking statement.
