Operating Margin of 9.6%
Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.10
BETHESDA, Md. Oct. 30, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for managing networks and applications, today announced that revenue for the second fiscal quarter, ended September 30, 2008 was $32.4 million, compared to $25.0 million for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were $0.10, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.06 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.
Marc A. Cohen, OPNET's Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are very pleased to have achieved record quarterly revenue of $32.4 million. Our license revenue of $14.0 million this quarter exceeded our previous license revenue record of $12.9 million, which we achieved last quarter. We are also very pleased to have improved our operating margin for the third consecutive quarter to 9.6%, and we remain committed to further improvements in profitability."
Cohen continued, "We believe that weakness in the economy during the quarter affected business activity, and may continue to do so in the future. However, we remain cautiously optimistic that the growth opportunities generated by our enhanced solution portfolio will allow us to continue growing sales. In particular, we continue to have strong demand for our end-to-end application performance management solutions."
The Company's second quarter fiscal 2009 financial results are presented below. The non-GAAP results exclude the income statement effects of stock-based compensation and acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement table following the text of the press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
OPNET uses a variety of financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as supplemental measures to GAAP to evaluate its operational performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A detailed explanation of each of the adjustments to such financial measures is described below. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is also included below.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate OPNET's historical and prospective financial performance as well as its performance relative to its competitors, and (b) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting. In addition, many financial analysts who follow OPNET focus on and publish both historical results and future projections based on non-GAAP financial measures. OPNET believes that it is in the best interest of its investors to provide this information to analysts so that they accurately report the non-GAAP financial information. Moreover, investors have historically requested these non-GAAP financial measures as a means of providing consistent and comparable information with past reports of financial results.
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of OPNET's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of OPNET's competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. OPNET compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures only as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
The adjustments to these non-GAAP financial measures, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Amortization of intangibles and its related tax impact. OPNET incurs amortization of intangibles, which is included in its GAAP presentation of amortization of acquired technology and customer relationships, and research and development, related to various acquisitions it has made in recent years. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of OPNET because these costs are fixed at the time of an acquisition, and are then amortized over a period of three to five years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, management does not consider these expenses for purposes of evaluating the performance of OPNET during the applicable time period after a given acquisition, and it excludes such expenses when evaluating OPNET's financial performance.
Stock-based compensation expense and its related tax impact. OPNET incurs expense related to stock-based compensation, which is included in its GAAP presentation of cost of software license updates, technical support and services, cost of professional services, research and development expense, sales and marketing expense and general and administrative expense. Although stock-based compensation is an expense of OPNET and viewed as a form of compensation, management excludes these expenses for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of OPNET. Specifically, OPNET excludes stock-based compensation during its quarterly and annual assessments of OPNET's and management's performance. In evaluating the performance of senior management, stock-based compensation is excluded from expenditure and profitability results.
