Lawson Software Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Financial Results GAAP net income rises 13 percent ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News: Lawson Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: LWSN) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2009, which ended Nov. 30, 2008. Lawson reported revenues for the quarter of $206.4 million, down 6 percent from revenues of $218.6 million in its fiscal 2008 second quarter. Currency fluctuations negatively impacted GAAP and non-GAAP revenues by 5 percent as foreign currencies weakened substantially in the quarter compared to the U.S. dollar. License fees declined 9 percent, or 4 percent adjusted for currency, reflecting a lower level of software sales driven by the global economic conditions. Consulting revenues declined 15 percent, or 10 percent adjusted for currency, due to fewer billable hours resulting from a reduced number of consultants particularly in EMEA. Partially offsetting the decline in license fees and consulting revenues was a 6 percent increase, or 10 percent adjusted for currency, in maintenance revenues driven by customer renewals at higher average prices. Second quarter GAAP net income was $4.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. General and administrative expenses decreased partially due to a $1.6 million favorable insurance settlement related to pre-merger litigation claims. When combined with reductions in sales and marketing and lower amortization expense for acquired intangibles these lower operating expenses offset a $7.7 million restructuring charge. Interest income declined due to lower investment balances and yields. Other income improved as the second quarter of fiscal 2008 included a $4.2 million impairment charge for auction rate securities. Net income also improved due to a decrease in the provision for income taxes. The company estimates currency fluctuations had a positive impact of less than $0.01 on net earnings per diluted share for the second quarter. Included in GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share results are pre-tax expenses of $11.5 million for restructuring, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of purchased maintenance contracts and pre-merger claims reserve adjustments as well as $2.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. Excluding these expenses and including $0.2 million of revenue impacted by purchase accounting adjustments, non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $16.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share includes a non-GAAP provision for income taxes based upon an estimated rate of 35 percent. The company estimates currency fluctuations had no impact on non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share for the second quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.10 increased year-over-year from $0.09 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. “Lawson delivered solid results in the quarter despite the difficult economic environment,” said Harry Debes, Lawson president and chief executive officer. “We met our revenue guidance and the high-end of our earnings guidance. Our primary goal for the quarter was to improve non-GAAP operating margin. We accomplished that goal, and achieved the highest level of operating margin since the merger with Intentia in April 2006.” Six-Months Ended Nov. 30, 2008 Total revenues for the six months ended Nov. 30, 2008 were $397.3 million, down 2 percent from revenues of $406 million during the same fiscal 2008 period. Currency fluctuations accounted for a minor portion of the GAAP and non-GAAP revenue decline. GAAP net income was $1.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, declining from net income of $9.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in the comparable fiscal 2008 period. Decreases in sales and marketing, general and administrative and amortization of intangible expenses were offset by $7.5 million of restructuring. Lower total other income and an increase in the provision for income taxes were the primary reasons for the reduction in year-to-date net income. The company estimates currency fluctuations had a negative impact of less than $0.01 on net earnings per diluted share for the six-month period. In addition, the six-month results include a reduction to GAAP and non-GAAP net income of $2.1 million, primarily related to the $1.9 million adjustment reported in the first quarter, associated with sales incentive compensation expense that should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and earlier periods. The company has determined that these expenses were immaterial to reported results for those periods. They are also expected to be immaterial to fiscal 2009 results. Included in the six-month GAAP results are pre-tax expenses of $15.4 million for amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges, amortization of purchased maintenance contracts and pre-merger claims reserve adjustments as well as $4.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. Excluding these expenses and including $0.4 million of revenue impacted by purchase accounting adjustments, non-GAAP net income for the six months ended Nov. 30, 2008, was $25.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. The company estimates currency fluctuations had a negative impact of less than $0.01 on non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share for the six-month period in fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share includes a non-GAAP provision for income taxes based upon an estimated rate of 35 percent. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.15 were flat year-over-year compared to results for the six months ended Nov. 30, 2007. Financial Guidance For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, which ends Feb. 28, 2009, the company is providing guidance using foreign exchange rates as of the end of December 2008. The company estimates total revenues of $183 million to $187 million. The company anticipates GAAP fully diluted earnings per share will be $0.03 to $0.06. Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share are forecasted to be between $0.07 and $0.09, excluding approximately $9.5 million of pre-tax expenses related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of purchased maintenance contracts, stock-based compensation charges and purchase accounting adjustments for acquired deferred revenue balances. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for fiscal 2009 is anticipated to be 35 percent which the company expects to apply consistently throughout the fiscal year. As a result of economic uncertainties the company is not providing updated guidance for fiscal 2009, which ends May 31, 2009. Prior fiscal 2009 guidance should no longer be relied upon. Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Key Metrics Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and investments at quarter-end were $312.7 million (including $12.2 million of restricted cash), compared with $363.8 million (including $2.4 million of restricted cash) on Aug. 31, 2008. The sequential decline was anticipated as the company generates the majority of its cash during the fiscal third and fourth quarters from annual maintenance renewals. Total deferred revenues were $197.5 million, including $50.1 million of deferred license revenues, compared with the Aug. 31, 2008, balance of $275.1 million, including $57.8 million of deferred license revenue. Total deferred revenues declined primarily due to deferred maintenance revenue as the company's renewal dates occur in the fiscal third and fourth quarters. The deferred license revenue balance declined due to fewer deals and a lower deferral rate on deals signed in the quarter than deferred revenue recognized in the quarter. The company signed 256 deals, compared with 331 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Average selling price of all deals was $96,000 compared with $107,000 a year ago. The company signed 240 existing customers deals, compared with 294 in the second quarter a year ago. Average selling price of existing customer deals increased to $83,000 compared with $72,000 a year ago. Sixteen new customer deals were signed, compared with 37 in the second quarter a year ago. Average selling price of new customer deals decreased to $292,000 compared with $373,000 a year ago. Two deals greater than $1 million and nine deals between $500,000 and $1 million were signed, compared with two deals greater than $1 million and eight deals between $500,000 and $1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Days sales outstanding (DSO) at quarter end were 59, compared with 68 on Aug. 31, 2008. The Americas region represented 56 percent of total revenue; Europe, Middle East, and Africa region represented 40 percent of total revenue; and Asia-Pacific/Australia-New Zealand represented 4 percent of total revenue. No shares were repurchased in the second quarter under the company's share repurchase program. From the November 2006 inception of the program, the company has repurchased 29.4 million shares for $251.5 million, reducing the shares outstanding by approximately 16 percent compared with November 2006. Key customer wins: Americas - Idahoan Foods, LLC; Parkland Health and Hospital; Republic Services, Inc.; University of Mississippi Medical Center; and Workers' Compensation Board of Manitoba. EMEA - Government of Tanzania; J.Barbour & Sons Ltd.; and Wema System AS. Asia-Pacific - Studio East Limited; and Wilcon Builders Depot.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software reports non-GAAP financial results including non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight into our operating performance and an alternative perspective of our results of operations. Our primary non-GAAP adjustments are described in detail below. We use these non-GAAP measures to assess our operating performance, to develop budgets, to serve as a measurement for incentive compensation awards and to manage expenditures. Presentation of these non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our results of operations from the same perspective as management and our Board of Directors. Lawson has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors an enhanced understanding of our operations, facilitate investors' analysis and comparisons of our current and past results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance. We also believe that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software companies including those that have recently made significant acquisitions. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results provided for each period presented, which are attached to this release. Our primary non-GAAP reconciling items are as follows: Purchase accounting impact on revenue - Lawson's non-GAAP financial results include pro forma adjustments for deferred maintenance and consulting revenues that we would have recognized under GAAP but for the related purchase accounting. The deferred revenue for maintenance and consulting on the acquired entity's balance sheet, at the time of the acquisition, was eliminated from GAAP results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. As a result, our GAAP results do not, in management's view, reflect all of our maintenance and consulting activity. We believe the inclusion of the pro forma revenue adjustment provides investors a helpful alternative view of Lawson's maintenance and consulting operations. Integration related - We have incurred various integration related expenses as part of our acquisitions. These costs of integrating the operations of acquired businesses and Lawson are incremental to our historical costs and were charged to GAAP results of operations in the periods incurred. We do not consider these costs in our assessment of our operating performance. While these costs are not recurring with respect to our past acquisitions, we may incur similar costs in the future if we pursue other acquisitions. We believe that the exclusion of the non-recurring acquisition related integration costs provide investors an appropriate alternative view of our results of operations and facilitates comparisons of our results period-over-period. Amortization of purchased maintenance contracts - We have excluded amortization of purchased maintenance contracts from our non-GAAP results. The purchase price related to these contracts is being amortized based upon the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the contracts. We believe that the exclusion of the amortization expense related to the purchased maintenance contracts provides investors an enhanced understanding of our results of operations. Stock-based compensation - Expense related to stock-based compensation has been excluded from our non-GAAP results of operations. These charges consist of the estimated fair value of share-based awards including stock option, restricted stock, restricted stock units and share purchases under our employee stock purchase plan. While the charges for stock-based compensation are of a recurring nature, as we grant stock-based awards to attract and retain quality employees and as an incentive to help achieve financial and other corporate goals, we exclude them from our results of operation in assessing our operating performance. These charges are typically non-cash and are often the result of complex calculations using an option pricing model that estimates stock-based awards' fair value based on factors such as volatility and risk-free interest rates that are beyond our control. The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include such charges in our operating plans. In addition, we believe the exclusion of these charges facilitates comparisons of our operating results with those of our competitors who may have different policies regarding the use of stock-based awards. Pre-merger claims reserve adjustment - We have excluded the adjustment to our pre-merger claims reserve from our non-GAAP results. As part of the purchase accounting relating to the Intentia transaction, we established a reserve for Intentia customer claims and disputes that arose before the acquisition which were originally recorded to goodwill. As we are outside the period in which adjustments to such purchase accounting is allowed, adjustments to the reserve are recorded in our general and administrative expenses under GAAP. We do not consider the adjustments to this reserve established under purchase accounting in our assessment of our operating performance. Further, since the original reserve was established in purchase accounting, the original charge was not reflected in our operating statement. We believe that the exclusion of the pre-merger claims reserve adjustment provides investors an appropriate alternative view of our results of operations and facilitates comparisons of our results period-over-period. Restructuring - We have recorded various restructuring charges related to actions taken to reduce our cost structure to enhance operating effectiveness and improve profitability and to eliminate certain redundancies in connection with acquisitions. These restructuring activities impacted different functional areas of our operations in different locations and were undertaken to meet specific business objectives in light of the facts and circumstances at the time of each restructuring event. These charges include costs related to severance and other termination benefits as well as costs to exit leased facilities. These restructuring charges are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance. We believe that the exclusion of the non-recurring restructuring charges provide investors an enhanced view of the cost structure of our operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such charges or may reflect different levels of such charges. Amortization - We have excluded amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets including purchased technology, client lists, customer relationships, trademarks, order backlog and non-compete agreements from our non-GAAP results. The fair value of the intangible assets, which was allocated to these assets through purchase accounting, is amortized using accelerated or straight-line methods which approximate the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets. While these non-cash amortization charges are recurring in nature and the underlying assets benefit our operations, this amortization expense can fluctuate significantly based on the nature, timing and size of our past acquisitions and may be affected by any future acquisitions. This makes comparisons of our current and historic operating performance difficult. Therefore, we exclude such accounting expenses when analyzing the results of all our operations including those of acquired entities. We believe that the exclusion of the amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets provides investors useful information facilitating comparison of our results period-over-period and with other companies in the software industry as they each have their own acquisition histories and related adjustments. Impairment of long-term investments - The liquidity and fair value of our investments in marketable securities, including Auction Rate Securities (ARS), were negatively impacted in fiscal 2008 by the uncertainty in the credit markets and exposure to the financial condition of bond insurance companies. As a result, during the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2008 we recorded impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of our ARS investments. The impairment charges related to our ARS investments have been excluded from our non-GAAP results of operations. These impairment charges are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance. We believe that the exclusion of these unique charges provide investors an enhanced view of our operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that do not reflect such charges.
