Lawson Software Reports Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results

License fees revenue increased 28 percent 
GAAP EPS of $0.01; non-GAAP EPS of $0.11 
Healthvision acquisition completed during the quarter 
Company expects Q4 2010 GAAP EPS of $0.04 - $0.06; Non-GAAP EPS of $0.10 - $0.12

ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News: 

Lawson Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: LWSN) today reported financial results for its
third quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended Feb. 28, 2010. Total revenues
were $186.2 million with GAAP net income of $1.8 million, or diluted earnings
per share (EPS) of $0.01. These results compare to third quarter of fiscal year
2009 revenues of $173.8 million with GAAP net income of $6.2 million, or EPS of
$0.04. Revenue increased 7 percent; however it was offset by increased
amortization expense due to the Healthvision acquisition and increased operating
expenses primarily related to employee costs which resulted in a decline in GAAP
net income from the prior year. Healthvision's operations contributed $4.8
million in revenue and negatively impacted GAAP net income by $1.5 million or
$0.01 per diluted share. 

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter increased 8 percent to $17.8 million,
or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $16.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted
share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. Healthvision's operations
contributed $7.3 million in revenue, $1.4 million to non-GAAP net income, or
$0.01 per diluted share. Third quarter non-GAAP net income and EPS includes $2.5
million of revenues impacted by purchase accounting adjustments and excludes
$17.7 million of amortization expense, non-cash stock-based compensation,
non-cash interest expense, integration expense and restructuring. Non-GAAP net
income and EPS include a provision for income taxes based upon an estimated rate
of 37 percent, which is applied consistently throughout the year. 

“We are pleased with our third quarter results, which continue the positive
trend in our business performance,” said Harry Debes, president and chief
executive officer. “Driven by sales in our strategic growth markets, license
revenues grew 28 percent or 25 percent excluding the impact of the Healthvision
acquisition. Since closing the acquisition of Healthvision in January,
integration efforts are well underway and initial results are meeting all of our
expectations. In addition, we recently announced new Lawson Cloud Services
offerings available on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud infrastructure. This is
full-function ERP on Amazon that presents a compelling value proposition and
lower-cost deployment option to our customers." 

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 $0.01 impact
on both GAAP and non-GAAP EPS. 

Implementation of Accounting Guidance on Convertible Debt Securities (formerly
FSP APB 14-1) 

Third quarter of fiscal 2010 GAAP net income includes $2.1 million of
incremental non-cash interest expense resulting from the implementation of an
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. Third quarter of fiscal 2009 GAAP net income includes $2
million of incremental non-cash interest expense. 

Financial Guidance 

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, which ends May 31, 2010, the company
estimates total revenues in the range of $194 million to $198 million. Non-GAAP
total revenues are expected to be in the range of $196 million to $200 million,
including approximately $2 million of revenues impacted by purchase accounting
adjustments. The company anticipates GAAP EPS will be in the range of $0.04 to
$0.06. Non-GAAP EPS is forecasted to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.12,
excluding approximately $10 million of pre-tax adjustments for amortization
expense, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense
and a one-time gain related to the modification of a defined benefit pension
plan. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter is estimated at 37
percent. Guidance for the fourth fiscal quarter is based on foreign exchange
rates as of the end of March.

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. 

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. 

Transaction and integration expenses - We have incurred various transaction and
integration related expenses as part of our acquisitions. These transaction
costs and costs of integrating the operations of acquired businesses and Lawson
are incremental to our historical costs and were charged to GAAP results of
operations in the periods incurred. We do not consider these costs in our
assessment of our operating performance. While these costs are not recurring
with respect to our past acquisitions, we may incur similar costs in the future
if we pursue other acquisitions. We believe that the exclusion of the
non-recurring acquisition related transaction and integration costs provide
investors an appropriate alternative view of our results of operations and
facilitates comparisons of our results period-over-period. 

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. 

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.
