OCEANPORT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2008--CommVault(R) (NASDAQ:CVLT) today announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007.
N. Robert Hammer, CommVault's chairman, president and CEO, stated, "We had another record quarter as we continue to make progress in achieving our long-term strategic objectives. We made excellent progress in the quarter of increasing our market penetration related to both our emerging products as well as our core backup products. We will continue to make the necessary investment in product development, support and distribution to ensure that we remain a leading innovator of information management technologies and services."
Total revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were a record $50.3 million, an increase of 31% over the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and 6% over the prior quarter. Software revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $27.0 million, up 28% year-over-year and 2% sequentially. Services revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $23.3 million, up 36% year-over-year and 12% sequentially.
Non-GAAP income from operations (EBIT) increased 51% to $8.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $5.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year. EBIT determined in accordance with GAAP was $6.3 million for the third quarter, a 48% increase from $4.2 million in the same period of the prior year.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, non-GAAP net income increased 49% to $6.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, from $4.6 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the same period of the prior year. CommVault reported GAAP net income for the quarter of $8.2 million, an increase of $3.6 million compared to the same period of the prior year. GAAP net income for the quarter includes a tax benefit of $0.9 million primarily due to the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowances in certain international jurisdictions.
Operating cash flow totaled $13.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Total cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2007 were $95.1 million.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Financial Statement Table IV included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Recent Business Highlights:
-- Consistent with its investment strategy, CommVault announced
its first software as a service product, Remote Operations
Management Service ("ROMS"). ROMS is an innovative,
subscription software-as-a-service ("SaaS") offering. It is a
web-based integrated support automation system that provides
customers with overnight, weekend and holiday monitoring.
Through a user-friendly, intuitive web dashboard, users can
access and track real-time alert, trend and storage usage
reports anytime, anywhere. CommVault believes that ROMS will
help broaden its leadership position in providing
highly-differentiated, world-class support to its customers.
-- CommVault has entered into a collaborative reseller agreement
with Sun Microsystems, Inc., which will allow CommVault to
broaden it distribution reach and provide customers with
advanced data management solutions for enterprise computing
environments. Sun will distribute on a world-wide basis the
CommVault Simpana(TM) 7.0 data and information management
software suite for companies running on Sun Microsystems
64-bit server and storage systems.
-- CommVault's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase
program authorizing the repurchase of up to $40 million of its
common stock over the next 12 months.
Fiscal 2008 Guidance
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, CommVault currently expects:
-- Total revenues in the range of $195 million to $196 million.
-- Non-GAAP gross margins of 86.0% to 86.3%.
-- Non-GAAP operating income margins of 16.7% to 17.0%.
-- Non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $0.56 per share to $0.58
per share using an effective tax rate of approximately 28% and
a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 45.5
million to 46.0 million.
-- An actual cash tax rate will be approximately 10% based on
current assumptions.
The non-GAAP gross margin percentages above exclude approximately $0.2 million related to noncash stock-based compensation charges. The non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance excludes approximately $0.12 per share to $0.14 per share of noncash stock-based compensation charges, net of non-GAAP income tax benefits of approximately $0.05 per share, and any additional FICA expense that will be incurred by CommVault when employees exercise in the money stock options.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CommVault has provided in this press release selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. CommVault uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating CommVault's ongoing operational performance. CommVault believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in CommVault's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community.
The non-GAAP financial results discussed above excludes noncash stock-based compensation charges, additional FICA expense incurred by CommVault when employees exercise in the money stock options and accretion of preferred stock dividends. In addition, the non-GAAP financial results apply an effective tax rate of 28% in fiscal 2008 and 25% starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, which resulted in an estimated effective tax rate of approximately 20% for fiscal 2007.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are provided in Table IV included in this press release.
