Novell Reports Financial Results for Fourth Fiscal Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2007

     •   Fourth fiscal quarter 2007 product revenue grew 10% year-over-year, led by 69% Linux Platform Products revenue growth
     •   Achieved non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 8% for fourth fiscal quarter 2007

WALTHAM, Mass. – December 13, 2007 – Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVL) today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. For the quarter, Novell reported net revenue of $245 million, which excludes $6 million of revenue from its Swiss-based business consulting unit, which Novell agreed to sell during the quarter. This compares to net revenue of $234 million for the fourth fiscal quarter 2006. The loss from operations for the fourth fiscal quarter 2007 was $13 million, compared to income from operations of $4 million for the fourth fiscal quarter 2006. The loss available to common stockholders from continuing operations in the fourth fiscal quarter 2007 was $9 million, or $0.03 loss per common share. This compares to income available to common stockholders from continuing operations of $21 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, for the fourth fiscal quarter 2006. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted total revenue by approximately $6 million and did not materially impact the loss from operations year-over-year.

On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted income from operations for the fourth fiscal quarter 2007 was $20 million. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted income from operations of $18 million in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP adjusted income available to common stockholders from continuing operations for the fourth fiscal quarter 2007 was $20 million, or $0.06 per adjusted diluted common share. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted income available to common stockholders from continuing operations of $20 million, or $0.05 per adjusted diluted common share, for the fourth fiscal quarter 2006.

In the fourth fiscal quarter 2007, Novell entered into an agreement to sell its Swiss-based business consulting unit. Accordingly, all financial results for this unit were excluded from Novell's continuing operations for income statement reporting purposes and are reported as discontinued operations.

For the full fiscal year 2007, Novell reported net revenue of $932 million and a loss available to common stockholders from continuing operations of $26 million, or $0.08 loss per common share. Comparatively, net revenue for the full fiscal year 2006 was $919 million and income available to common stockholders from continuing operations was $4 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted total revenue by approximately $15 million and negatively impacted the loss from operations by $5 million year-over-year.

Revenue from Identity and Security Management was $33 million of which Identity and Access Management was $30 million, up 27% year-over-year.

Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was 77 days at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter 2007, down from 86 days at the end of the year-ago quarter.

Financial Outlook

Novell management issues the following financial guidance:

For the full fiscal year 2008:

• Net revenue is expected to be between $920 million and $945 million.
• Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin is expected to be between 7% and 9%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement our consolidated unaudited condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted income available to common stockholders from continuing operations, and adjusted diluted income per common share from continuing operations based on an adjusted number of diluted weighted average shares. We provide non-GAAP financial measures to (i) enhance an overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future and (ii) enable investors to evaluate our performance in the same way that management does. Management uses these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to evaluate performance, allocate resources, and determine commissions and bonuses. The non-GAAP adjusted financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results, but they eliminate expenses and gains that are unusual, that are excluded from analysts' consensus estimates, and/or that arise outside of the ordinary course of business, such as, but not limited to, stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation judgments and settlements, the write-off of acquired in-process research and development, and gains (losses) on the sale of business operations, long-term investments, and property, plant and equipment.
