Lawson Software Reports Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2007 Financial Results
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2007--Regulatory News:
Lawson Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:LWSN) today reported financial
results for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended May 31, 2007. The
May quarter also included the one-year anniversary of the company's
acquisition of Intentia International AB, which was completed on April
25, 2006.
Lawson reported fiscal 2007 fourth quarter GAAP (generally
accepted accounting principles) revenues of $212.9 million, up from
revenues of $126.1 million in its fiscal 2006 fourth quarter. Excluded
from the 2007 results is $1.1 million of deferred maintenance and
services revenue impact of purchase accounting adjustments made to the
opening deferred maintenance and services revenue balances acquired
from Intentia. Approximately 75 percent of the year-over-year increase
in revenues was due to the consolidation of a full quarter of revenues
of the former Intentia compared with five weeks in the same period
last year. Higher revenues from the legacy Lawson business accounted
for 25 percent of the year-over-year increase, with increases across
all revenue streams including consulting, maintenance and software
license fees. The year-over-year increase in legacy Lawson license
fees, an important financial metric, was driven by significant sales
of the Lawson System Foundation 9 technology platform product with
approximately 450 deals sold in the quarter. For more information on
fourth quarter sales of Lawson System Foundation 9, please refer to
the company's press release dated June 13, 2007.
Fourth quarter GAAP net income was $8.1 million, or $0.04 per
diluted share, compared with a $4.8 million, or $0.03 per share net
loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 that resulted from the
consolidation of the former Intentia's results from the April 25, 2006
acquisition date as well as the costs related to the acquisition. The
year-over-year increase in net income was primarily attributed to a
$13.3 million improvement in operating margin resulting from a 69
percent increase in revenues combined with a reduction in operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues. Included in these GAAP results
are pre-tax expenses totaling $8.9 million for amortization of
acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges, acquisition related
costs, purchase accounting impact on consulting costs, amortization of
purchased maintenance contracts, and $2.1 million of non-cash
stock-based compensation as a result of adopting FAS 123(R) in the
year. Under FAS 123(R), stock-based employee compensation cost is
recognized using the fair-value based method for all unvested stock
options after June 1, 2006. Excluding these expenses and including the
$1.1 million of purchase accounting adjustments to maintenance and
services revenues, non-GAAP net income was $14.6 million, or $0.08 per
diluted share. A lower non-GAAP effective tax rate of 42 percent
compared with a 51 percent forecasted rate favorably impacted the
non-GAAP earnings per share by $0.01 compared with the company's
preliminary estimates provided on June 13, 2007."Our fourth quarter financial results are another indication that
our strategy is sound and that our execution continues to improve,"
said Harry Debes, president and CEO. "Because of the Lawson-Intentia
combination in April 2006, fiscal 2007 was a year of significant
transition in our company. During the last 12 months we have
organically grown revenue in total and improved bottom line
performance in every quarter. We have created and delivered a
comprehensive product strategy, built an energized team of leaders,
sales account executives and employees around the world, built a
500-person facility in Manila and strengthened and streamlined global
operations. I am proud of our progress in 2007, and on this solid
foundation, I am confident about what we can achieve in the future."
Results for the 12-month Fiscal Period
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, Lawson reported total GAAP
revenues of $750.4 million, compared with total revenues of $390.8
million in the fiscal 2006 year. Excluded from the 2007 results is
$11.4 million of deferred maintenance and services revenue impact of
purchase accounting adjustments made to the opening deferred
maintenance and services revenue balances acquired from Intentia. The
consolidation of the former Intentia business resulted in a 79 percent
increase in revenues. Organic growth in maintenance and consulting
revenues from the legacy Lawson business accounted for the remainder
of the year-over-year increase. Legacy Lawson software license fees
decreased slightly by 3 percent on a full year basis, primarily
attributable to lower revenue recognition rates based on specific
contract terms and conditions.
The company reported a GAAP net loss of $20.9 million, or $0.11
per share for fiscal 2007, compared with net income of $16.0 million,
or $0.14 per diluted share for fiscal 2006. The decrease in net income
was primarily attributed to higher restructuring expenses and
amortization of acquired intangibles following the acquisition as well
as lower gross margin largely due to added 3rd party license costs in
the Lawson System Foundation product and a higher mix of lower-margin
consulting revenues. Included in the 12-month GAAP results are pre-tax
expenses totaling $55.9 million for amortization of acquired
intangible assets, restructuring charges, acquisition related costs,
purchase accounting impact on consulting costs, amortization of
purchased maintenance contracts, and $7.7 million of non-cash
stock-based compensation as a result of adopting FAS 123(R) in the
year. Excluding these costs and including the $11.4 million of
maintenance and services revenue impacted by purchase accounting,
12-month non-GAAP net income was $36.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted
share.
Financial Guidance
For the first fiscal quarter 2008 ending Aug. 31, 2007, the
company estimates total revenues of $183 million to $188 million.
License revenues are anticipated to be between $24 million and $27
million. Maintenance revenues are estimated to be between $78 million
and $79 million, and consulting revenues are estimated to be between
$80 million and $82 million. The company anticipates GAAP fully
diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.01 to $0.03.
Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share are forecasted between $0.04
and $0.06, excluding approximately $10 million of pre-tax expenses
related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles,
amortization of purchased maintenance contracts and stock-based
compensation charges.
For the fiscal year 2008 ending May 31, 2008, the company
estimates total revenues of $820 million to $830 million. The company
anticipates GAAP full diluted earnings per share results to be in the
range of $0.17 to $0.22. Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share are
forecasted to be between $0.30 and $0.34, excluding approximately $37
million of pre-tax expenses related to the amortization of
acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of purchased maintenance
contracts and stock-based compensation charges. The non-GAAP effective
tax rate for fiscal 2008 is anticipated to be between 42 and 45
percent. The anticipated full year GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS results
include approximately $15 million of pre-tax operating expenses
associated with various transformational initiatives, impacting
expected results by $0.03 to $0.04 per share. In addition, the company
expects to incur capital expenditures of $25 million to $30 million
for infrastructure and facility projects, which is $15 million higher
than historical expenditures. Cash flow from operations is anticipated
to be between $75 million and $95 million. Cash flow from operations
is negatively impacted by the increased $15 million of pre-tax
operating expenses.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that
contain risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements
contain statements of intent, belief or current expectations of Lawson
Software and its management. Such forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future results and involve risks and uncertainties that
may cause actual results to differ materially from the potential
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The company is
not obligated to update forward-looking statements based on
circumstances or events that occur in the future. Risks and
uncertainties that may cause such differences include but are not
limited to: uncertainties in Lawson's ability to realize synergies and
revenue opportunities anticipated from the Intentia International
acquisition; uncertainties in the software industry; uncertainties as
to when and whether the conditions for the recognition of deferred
revenue will be satisfied; global military conflicts; terrorist
attacks; pandemics, and any future events in response to these
developments; changes in conditions in the company's targeted
industries; increased competition and other risk factors listed in the
company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Lawson assumes no obligation to
update any forward-looking information contained in this press
release.
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. These non-GAAP results exclude
amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of
purchased maintenance contracts, Intentia integration costs,
restructuring charges, certain stock-based compensation expenses and
other expenses. In addition, Lawson's non-GAAP financial results
include pro forma revenue for maintenance contracts acquired in the
Intentia acquisition for which the deferred revenue on Intentia's
balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP results as part of the
purchase accounting for the acquisition. Lawson's management believes
the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are useful to
investors because they provide supplemental information that research
analysts frequently use to analyze software companies that have
recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP
measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage
expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is
not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by
other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for
corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable
GAAP results, which is attached to this release. Additional
information can be found on the investor relations page of Lawson's
website at www.lawson.com/investor.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
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. These non-GAAP results exclude amortization of all
acquisition-related intangibles, Intentia integration costs,
restructuring charges, certain stock-based compensation expenses and
other expenses. In addition, Lawson's non-GAAP financial results
include pro forma revenue for maintenance contracts acquired in the
Intentia acquisition for which the deferred revenue on Intentia's
balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP results as part of the
purchase accounting for the acquisition. Lawson's management believes
the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are useful to
investors because they provide supplemental information that research
analysts frequently use to analyze software companies that have
recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP
measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage
expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is
not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by
other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for
corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable
GAAP results, which is attached to this release. Additional
information can be found on the investor relations page of Lawson's
website at www.lawson.com/investor.
