Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today reported financial
results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010. All results
should be considered preliminary pending the Company's filing of
its quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Epicor chairman, president and CEO George Klaus commented, "This
was the second highest third quarter in Epicor's history in terms
of total revenue, consulting revenue and maintenance revenue, and
the fourth highest in terms of software revenue. It is clear that
we are experiencing tremendous momentum on the back of what we
believe are the best products in the market. We believe that the
geographic reach and functional breadth and depth of our products
have never been greater. Epicor is selling into more markets than
ever before and our superior products are driving market share
gains. As we look forward into Q4 and 2011," Klaus continued, "our
pipelines support continued momentum and currently support our
belief that our 2010 fourth quarter will be one of the strongest
software revenue quarters in Epicor's history."
Total revenue for the 2010 third quarter grew more than 16% to
$114.6 million, when compared to 2009 third quarter revenue of
$98.6 million. 2010 third quarter GAAP net loss was $9.4 million,
or loss of $0.16 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of
$0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the 2009 third quarter.
2010 third quarter GAAP net loss includes the impact of a $9.9
million, or $0.17 per diluted share, tax provision related to
updated estimates of pre-tax GAAP income for the year and an
approximate $0.02 benefit per diluted share related to cash
received from the Province of Quebec, Canada in connection with a
program designed to encourage development of IT businesses there.
The 2010 third quarter benefit was related to the Company's
operations in 2008. This program extends through 2015, and Epicor
is currently in the process of applying for a rebate related to its
2009 operations.
Non-GAAP(2) net income for the 2010 third quarter was up 34% to
$10.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, which includes the $0.02
per diluted share Quebec benefit, compared to non-GAAP net income
of $7.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the 2009 third
quarter.
2010 Third Quarter Revenue by Segment: 2010 third quarter
license revenue was $20.2 million, up 47% when compared to 2009
third quarter license revenue of $13.7 million. Consulting revenue
grew 15% to $36.5 million in the 2010 third quarter, versus 2009
third quarter consulting revenue of $31.7 million. 2010 third
quarter maintenance revenue was up 1% to $48.5 million when
compared to 2009 third quarter maintenance revenue of $48.2
million. Hardware and other revenue for the 2010 third quarter was
$9.3 million, up 89% when compared to hardware and other revenue of
$4.9 million in the prior year's third quarter.
Balance Sheet Summary: The Company's balance sheet at September
30, 2010, included cash and cash equivalents of $113.1 million. The
balance sheet benefited from free cash flow of $15.6 million during
the 2010 third quarter, which also enabled the Company to make a
discretionary $5.0 million payment to reduce the outstanding
balance on its credit facility during the 2010 third quarter. The
Company's total outstanding debt as of September 30, 2010, consists
primarily of $230 million in aggregate principal amount of the
Company's 2.375% senior convertible notes (less a debt discount of
$35.8 million) and $57.5 million in aggregate principal amount
under the Company's credit facility, currently bearing an interest
rate of approximately 5 percent.
Following the close of the 2010 third quarter, the Company made
an additional discretionary $10.0 million payment to reduce the
outstanding balance on its credit facility.
At the end of the 2010 third quarter, net accounts receivable
was approximately $95.3 million. The Company had cash collections
of approximately $107.4 million during the 2010 third quarter. Days
sales outstanding (DSOs) in the 2010 third quarter were 77, up when
compared to 71 in the second quarter of 2010. Total deferred
revenue at the end of the 2010 third quarter was $94.6 million.
Business Outlook: For Epicor's 2010 fourth quarter, total
revenue is expected to be $119 to $121 million, with non-GAAP
earnings per diluted share(3) for the 2010 fourth quarter expected
to be $0.19 to $0.21.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain statements which constitute
forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include
statements regarding expected revenues (including growth rates),
earnings and earnings per share (including on a non-GAAP basis),
non-GAAP free cash flow, the Company's products, market share,
business model, sales pipelines and opportunities, competitive
advantage and other statements that are not historical fact. These
forward-looking statements are based on currently available
competitive, financial and economic data together with management's
views and assumptions regarding future events and business
performance as of the time the statements are made and are subject
to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially
from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking
statements.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to,
changes in the demand for enterprise resource planning products,
particularly in light of competitive offerings; the timely
availability and market acceptance of new products and upgrades,
including Epicor 9; the impact of competitive products and pricing;
the discovery of undetected software errors; changes in the
financial condition of Epicor's major commercial customers and
Epicor's future ability to continue to develop and expand its
product and service offerings to address emerging business demand
and technological trends; and other factors discussed in Epicor's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and
other reports Epicor files with the SEC. As a result of these
factors the business or prospects expected by the Company as part
of this announcement may not occur. Epicor undertakes no obligation
to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. In
evaluating the Company's performance, management uses certain
non-GAAP financial measures to supplement consolidated financial
statements prepared under GAAP.
Non-GAAP Earnings Measure. The Company uses non-GAAP earnings
measures, non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margins and
free cash flow in this press release. Management believes these
non-GAAP measures help indicate the Company's baseline performance
before gains, losses or charges that are considered by management
to be outside on-going operating results. Accordingly, management
uses these non-GAAP measures to gain a better understanding of the
Company's comparative operating performance from period-to-period
and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures, when read in
conjunction with the Company's GAAP financials, provides useful
information to investors by offering:
-- the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons
of the Company's on-going operating results;
-- the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying
business and perform related trend analysis;
-- a better understanding of how management plans and measures the
Company's underlying business; and,
-- an easier way to compare the Company's most recent results of
operations against investor and analyst financial models.
The non-GAAP financial measures for 2009 and 2010 used by the
Company are defined to include deferred revenues from NSB that were
adjusted to fair value as required by purchase accounting in
accordance with GAAP reporting, and to exclude amortization of
intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, amortization
of long-term debt discount from the Company's May 2007 convertible
note offering, the write-off of debt issuance fees, a Venezuela
currency devaluation, and restructuring and other, which include
costs associated with workforce reductions, and other charges. The
non-GAAP financial measures for 2009 and 2010 used by the Company
are also defined to reflect income taxes at a 38% tax rate.
Management believes that the expense associated with the
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is
appropriate to be excluded because a significant portion of the
purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible
assets that have short lives and exclusion of the amortization
expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent
over time for both the Company's newly acquired and long-held
businesses. Management also believes that the exclusion of
stock-based compensation allows for more accurate comparisons of
our operating results to our peer companies because of varying
available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the
variety of award types which effect the calculations of stock-based
compensation. Management believes it is appropriate to exclude the
Venezuela currency devaluation charge, the write-off of debt
issuance fees, the amortization of long-term debt discount from the
Company's May 2007 convertible note offering, as well as
restructuring and other charges, which included costs associated
with the integration of NSB into Epicor and costs associated with
workforce reductions, because these charges are not related to the
Company's ongoing business operations and it allows for more
accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer
companies. Finally, management believes that using a 38% tax rate
is appropriate because it allows comparisons of our operating
results that are more consistent with prior periods presented, as
well as more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our
peer companies.
General. These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however,
because they do not include all items of income and expense that
impact the Company's operations. Management compensates for these
limitations by also considering the Company's GAAP results. The
non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses are not prepared in
accordance with, and should not be considered an alternative to,
measurements required by GAAP, such as operating income, net income
and net income per share, and should not be considered measures of
the Company's liquidity. The presentation of this additional
information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. In
addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable
to similar measures reported by other companies.
