OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. and ZURICH, Switzerland, July 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (NASDAQ:VDSI), a global leader in digital solutions including identity, security and business productivity, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.

“We saw continued progress in developing VASCO’s software and services-centric offerings with strong year-over-year growth. We were also pleased with the results in our hardware business with a sequential quarter increase in revenue,” stated T. Kendall Hunt, VASCO Chairman & CEO. “Our gross margins remained above 70 percent, approximately three percent above the second quarter of last year, in part because of our strong software sales. During the quarter we took some actions to realign our resources and increase our focus on delivering innovative solutions that respond to online and mobile threats by enabling orchestration of multiple anti-fraud capabilities in a more unified manner.”

Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 decreased 16% to $45.7 million from $54.3 million in the second quarter of 2016, and for the first six months of 2017, decreased 13% to $87.7 million from $101.1 million for the first six months of 2016.

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per fully diluted share. This is a decrease of $2.7 million from $2.8 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016. Net income for the first six months of 2017 was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, a decrease of $4.3 million from $5.0 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted share, for the comparable period in 2016.

Operating income (loss) for the second quarter of 2017 was $(0.4) million, a decrease of $3.8 million from $3.4 million reported for the second quarter of 2016. Operating income (loss) for the first six months of 2017 was $(0.1) million, a decrease of $6.6 million, from $6.5 million reported for the first six months of 2016. Operating income as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2017 was -1% and 0%, respectively, compared to 6% for both comparable periods in 2016.

Non-GAAP net income, which excludes both long-term incentive compensation and amortization of intangible assets, for the second quarter of 2017 was $2.5 million, or $0.06 per fully diluted share, a decrease of $3.5 million from $6.1 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net income, which excludes both long-term incentive compensation and amortization of intangible assets, for the first six months of 2017 was $5.7 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share, a decrease of $5.9 million from $11.7 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted share, for the first six months of 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP, but Company management also evaluates its performance using certain non-GAAP operating metrics, namely EBITDA, non-GAAP Net Income and non-GAAP Diluted EPS. The Company’s management believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of our business and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results. The Company also believes these non-GAAP operating metrics provide additional tools for investors to use to compare its business with other companies in its industry.

These non-GAAP measures are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, as alternatives or substitutes for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful within the context described below, they are in fact incomplete and are not a measure that should be used to evaluate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business, and how taxes affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment.  Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are found below.

EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We use EBITDA as a simplified measure of performance for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation and amortization), or deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find the comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not consider the impact of those items on our competitors’ results.

Non-GAAP Net Income & Non-GAAP Diluted EPS
We define non-GAAP Net Income and non-GAAP Diluted EPS, as net income or EPS before the consideration of long-term incentive compensation expenses and the amortization of purchased intangible assets.  We use these measures to assess the impact of our performance excluding items that can significantly impact the comparison of our results between periods and the comparison to competitors.

Long-term incentive compensation for management and others is directly tied to performance and this measure allows management to see the relationship of the cost of incentives to the performance of the business operations directly if such incentives are based on that period’s performance.  To the extent that such incentives are based on performance over a period of several years, there may be periods which have significant adjustments to the accruals in the period but which relate to a longer period of time, and which can make it difficult to assess the results of the business operations in the current period. In addition, the Company’s long-term incentives generally reflect the use of restricted stock grants or cash awards while other companies may use different forms of incentives the cost of which is determined on a different basis, which makes a comparison difficult.

We also exclude amortization of purchased intangible assets as we believe the amount of such expenses in any given period may not be correlated directly to the performance of the business operations and that such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions, the full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets or the write down of such assets due to an impairment event. However, purchased intangible assets contribute to current and future revenue and related amortization expense will recur in future periods until expired or written down. Finally, we make a tax adjustment based on the above adjustments resulting in an effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis, which may differ from the GAAP tax rate. We believe the effective tax rates we use in the adjustment are reasonable estimates of the overall tax rates for the Company under its global operating structure.
