DemandTec Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Financial Results


SAN CARLOS, Calif., July 1, 2009 (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 first quarter of fiscal year 2010 ended May 31, 2009.

"We are pleased that our revenue and non-GAAP operating results met or exceeded our guidance for the quarter, despite the continued level of uncertainty in the economy," said Dan Fishback, president and chief executive officer of DemandTec. "The integration of our recent acquisition of Connect3 Systems is progressing well and we remain focused on making our customers successful in this challenging business environment."

"During our first quarter, DemandTec unveiled its nextGEN solutions that combine category, brand and shopper insights to provide a rich understanding of shopper behavior, and the ability to leverage those insights to make better business decisions for retailers and consumer products manufacturers to better achieve their corporate goals," added Fishback.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue: Revenue was $19.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, an 8% increase from $18.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and a 1% increase from $19.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

Gross Profit: GAAP gross profit was $12.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to a gross profit of $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of purchased intangibles, was $13.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 6% from the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and representing a non-GAAP gross margin of 70.2%.

GAAP Operating and Net Loss: Loss from operations was $4.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to a loss from operations of $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Net loss was $3.7 million, or ($0.13) per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or ($0.04) per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Non-GAAP Operating and Net Income/Loss: Non-GAAP loss from operations, which excludes $2.4 million in stock-based compensation expense, $1.1 million in amortization of purchased intangible assets and a $278,000 restructuring charge, was $236,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $491,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP net income was $29,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to non-GAAP net income of $996,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Cash: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $75.3 million, a decrease of approximately $12.6 million from the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was primarily attributable to a payment in early March 2009 in connection with our purchase of Connect3 Systems, Inc. in February 2009. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the company used $614,000 cash in operations and invested $242,000 in capital expenditures, resulting in a negative free cash flow of $856,000.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying press release dated July 1, 2009 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, net income per share amounts, weighted average shares outstanding and free cash flow.

Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs and expenses for (i) amortization of purchased intangibles, (ii) stock-based compensation, and (iii) restructuring charges.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets. In accordance with GAAP, we amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with our company and technology acquisitions over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets from 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.

Restructuring Charges. We have excluded restructuring charges associated with a reduction in our workforce as a result of synergies gained through our acquisition of Connect3 Systems, Inc., and with an office closure, from our non-GAAP financial measures for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We have excluded expenses associated with these actions because they are non-recurring and because we believe investors may wish to exclude the effects of these actions in evaluating our financial performance for the quarter.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures, which should be considered as the primary 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.
