Lawson Software Operating Income Rises 26 Percent in Second Quarter Fiscal 2010 Company reports GAAP EPS of $0.02 and non-GAAP EPS of $0.09 ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News: Lawson Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: LWSN) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended Nov. 30, 2009. Total revenues were $184.4 million with GAAP net income of $2.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. This compares to 2009 second quarter revenues of $206.4 million with GAAP net income of $3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $15.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $16.7 million, or $0.10 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Second quarter fiscal 2010 non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share exclude $15.5 million of amortization, restructuring, non-cash stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense and a pre-merger claims reserve adjustment. Non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share include a provision for income taxes based upon an estimated rate of 37 percent, which is applied consistently throughout the year. “Lawson's operating profit continued to improve in the second quarter,” said Harry Debes, Lawson president and chief executive officer. “Our revenue results exceeded our guidance and our non-GAAP earnings meet the high end of our guidance range. While the economy remains challenging overall, our strategy of focusing on targeted vertical markets is helping us achieve our performance objectives.” The company's results were impacted by a decline in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the value of foreign currencies as compared to the prior year period. The company estimates currency fluctuations had a negative $0.02 impact on GAAP net earnings per diluted share and no impact on non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share for the second quarter. Implementation of Accounting Guidance on Convertible Debt Securities (formerly FSP APB 14-1) Second quarter fiscal 2010 GAAP net income includes $2.1 million of incremental non-cash interest expense resulting from the implementation of a new accounting standard related to the company's convertible notes. This non-cash interest expense is excluded from the company's non-GAAP results. Results for fiscal 2009 have been adjusted to reflect the retroactive implementation of this accounting standard. Second quarter fiscal 2009 GAAP net income includes $2 million of incremental non-cash interest expense. Acquisition of Healthvision Lawson Software also announced today its intent to acquire privately-held Healthvision Solutions, Inc., a Dallas-based company providing integration and application technology and related services to hospitals and large healthcare organizations. The transaction is expected to close in January 2010 subject to customary regulatory approvals. Please refer to the 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Jan. 7, 2010 for further information on the acquisition. Financial Guidance For the third quarter of fiscal 2010, which ends Feb. 28, 2010 the company is providing guidance for Lawson only as the announced acquisition of Healthvision has not closed. The company estimates total revenues of $174 million to $178 million. The company anticipates GAAP fully diluted earnings per share will be $0.02 to $0.04. Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share are forecasted to be $0.07 to $0.09, excluding approximately $11 million of pre-tax expenses for amortization, non-cash interest expense and non-cash stock-based compensation. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the third quarter is estimated at 37 percent, which the company expects to apply consistently throughout the fiscal year. Guidance for the third fiscal quarter uses foreign exchange rates as of the end of December 2009.

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 including non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight into our operating performance and an alternative perspective of our results of operations. Our primary non-GAAP adjustments are described in detail below. We use these non-GAAP measures to assess our operating performance, to develop budgets, to serve as a measurement for incentive compensation awards and to manage expenditures. Presentation of these non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our results of operations from the same perspective as management and our Board of Directors. Lawson has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors an enhanced understanding of our operations, facilitate investors' analysis and comparisons of our current and past results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance. We also believe that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software companies including those that have recently made significant acquisitions. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results provided for each period presented, which are attached to this release. Our primary non-GAAP reconciling items are as follows: Purchase accounting impact on revenue - Lawson's non-GAAP financial results include pro forma adjustments for deferred maintenance and consulting revenues that we would have recognized under GAAP but for the related purchase accounting. The deferred revenue for maintenance and consulting on the acquired entity's balance sheet, at the time of the acquisition, was eliminated from GAAP results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. As a result, our GAAP results do not, in management's view, reflect all of our maintenance and consulting activity. We believe the inclusion of the pro forma revenue adjustment provides investors a helpful alternative view of Lawson's maintenance and consulting operations. Amortization of purchased maintenance contracts - We have excluded amortization of purchased maintenance contracts from our non-GAAP results. The purchase price related to these contracts is being amortized based upon the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the contracts. We believe that the exclusion of the amortization expense related to the purchased maintenance contracts provides investors an enhanced understanding of our results of operations. Incremental non-cash interest related to convertible debt - We have excluded the incremental non-cash interest expense related to our $240.0 million in 2.5% senior convertible notes that we are required to recognize under accounting guidance for convertible debt securities from our non-GAAP results of operations for all periods presented, including a retrospective restatement of GAAP results upon our adoption of accounting guidance for convertible debt securities on June 1, 2009. This accounting guidance requires us to recognize significant additional non-cash interest expense based on the market rate for similar debt instruments that do not contain a comparable conversion feature. We have allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes to the embedded conversion feature resulting in a discount on our senior notes. The debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. These non-cash interest charges are not included in our operating plans and are not included in management's assessment of our operating performance. We believe that the exclusion of the non-cash interest charges provides a useful alternative for investors to evaluate the cost structure of our operations in a manner consistent with our internal evaluation of our cost structure. Stock-based compensation - Expense related to stock-based compensation has been excluded from our non-GAAP results of operations. These charges consist of the estimated fair value of share-based awards including stock option, restricted stock, restricted stock units and share purchases under our employee stock purchase plan. While the charges for stock-based compensation are of a recurring nature, as we grant stock-based awards to attract and retain quality employees and as an incentive to help achieve financial and other corporate goals, we exclude them from our results of operation in assessing our operating performance. These charges are typically non-cash and are often the result of complex calculations using an option pricing model that estimates stock-based awards' fair value based on factors such as volatility and risk-free interest rates that are beyond our control. The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include such charges in our operating plans. In addition, we believe the exclusion of these charges facilitates comparisons of our operating results with those of our competitors who may have different policies regarding the use of stock-based awards. Pre-merger claims reserve adjustment - We have excluded the adjustment to our pre-merger claims reserve from our non-GAAP results. As part of the purchase accounting relating to the Intentia transaction, we established a reserve for Intentia customer claims and disputes that arose before the acquisition which were originally recorded to goodwill. As we are outside the period in which adjustments to such purchase accounting is allowed, adjustments to the reserve are recorded in our general and administrative expenses under GAAP. We do not consider the adjustments to this reserve established under purchase accounting in our assessment of our operating performance. Further, since the original reserve was established in purchase accounting, the original charge was not reflected in our operating statement. We believe that the exclusion of the pre-merger claims reserve adjustment provides investors an appropriate alternative view of our results of operations and facilitates comparisons of our results period-over-period. Restructuring - We have recorded various restructuring charges related to actions taken to reduce our cost structure to enhance operating effectiveness and improve profitability and to eliminate certain redundancies in connection with acquisitions. These restructuring activities impacted different functional areas of our operations in different locations and were undertaken to meet specific business objectives in light of the facts and circumstances at the time of each restructuring event. These charges include costs related to severance and other termination benefits as well as costs to exit leased facilities. These restructuring charges are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance. We believe that the exclusion of the non-recurring restructuring charges provide investors an enhanced view of the cost structure of our operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such charges or may reflect different levels of such charges. Amortization - We have excluded amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets including purchased technology, client lists, customer relationships, trademarks, order backlog and non-compete agreements from our non-GAAP results. The fair value of the intangible assets, which was allocated to these assets through purchase accounting, is amortized using accelerated or straight-line methods which approximate the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets. While these non-cash amortization charges are recurring in nature and the underlying assets benefit our operations, this amortization expense can fluctuate significantly based on the nature, timing and size of our past acquisitions and may be affected by any future acquisitions. This makes comparisons of our current and historic operating performance difficult. Therefore, we exclude such accounting expenses when analyzing the results of all our operations including those of acquired entities. We believe that the exclusion of the amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets provides investors useful information facilitating comparison of our results period-over-period and with other companies in the software industry as they each have their own acquisition histories and related adjustments.
