DemandTec Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results


SAN CARLOS, Calif., Oct. 2, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DemandTec, Inc. (Nasdaq:DMAN), a leading provider of on-demand optimization solutions for retailers and consumer products manufacturers, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 ended August 31, 2008.

"Our financial performance for our second quarter of fiscal year 2009 is a result of our continued execution against our three point growth strategy of adding new retailers to our customer base, renewing and expanding our relationships with existing retail customers, and selling incremental solutions into our consumer product customer base," said Dan Fishback, president and chief executive officer of DemandTec. "Our revenue and non-GAAP operating profitability were above the high end of our guidance, and we were able to continue to generate positive cash flow."

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue: Revenue was $18.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, a 27% increase from $14.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and a 3% increase from $18.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Gross Profit: GAAP gross profit was $12.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles, was $13.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of 34% from the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and representing a non-GAAP gross margin of 71.9%.

GAAP Operating and Net Loss: Loss from operations was $1.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to a loss from operations of $644,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Net loss was $1.6 million, or ($0.06) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.10) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Non-GAAP Operating and Net Income/Loss: Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes $2.2 million in stock-based compensation expense and $484,000 in amortization of intangibles, was $839,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $204,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP net income was $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $262,000, or ($0.02) per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Cash: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $83.5 million, an increase of approximately $3.0 million from the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was primarily attributable to cash generated from operations. For this first six months of the fiscal year 2009 ended August 31, 2008, the company generated $7.7 million in cash flow from operations and invested $1.5 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $6.2 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying press release dated October 2, 2008 contains non-GAAP financial measures. The above table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures in the press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), net income (loss) per share amounts, weighted average shares outstanding and free cash flow.

Our non-GAAP financial measures generally exclude costs and expenses for (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets related to our acquisition of TradePoint Solutions, Inc. and our acquisition of rights to assortment optimization technology and (ii) stock-based compensation:

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets. In accordance with GAAP, we amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of TradePoint Solutions, Inc. and our acquisition of rights to assortment optimization technology, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We exclude these amortization costs in our non-GAAP financial measures because they (i) result from prior acquisitions, rather than the ongoing operating performance of our business, and (ii) absent additional acquisitions, are expected to decline over time as the remaining carrying amounts of these assets are amortized. We believe excluding these costs helps investors compare our financial performance with that of other companies with different acquisition histories. However, we recognize that amortization costs provide a helpful measure of the financial impact and performance of prior acquisitions and consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our GAAP financial results that include amortization costs.

Stock-Based Compensation Expenses. We exclude stock-based compensation expense associated with equity incentives granted to employees, non-employees and non-executive directors in our non-GAAP financial measures. While stock-based compensation is a significant component of our expenses, we believe that investors may wish to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense in comparing our financial performance with that of other companies.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures, which should be considered as the primarily financial metrics for evaluating our financial performance. Significantly, non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Instead, they are based on subjective determinations by management designed to supplement our GAAP financial measures. They are subject to a number of important limitations and should be considered only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP measures with the same names, may vary over time and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names used by other companies. Accordingly, investors should exercise caution when evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures.
