May 13, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- CHRDD | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Chordiant Software, a provider of Customer Experience (Cx) software and services, announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 ended March 31, and filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"I am pleased to announce that we posted our second consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow despite challenging market conditions. Our total bookings fell short of our expectations in the second quarter due to the slippage of a multi-million dollar transaction which we are pleased to announce has subsequently closed," said Steve Springsteel, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are cautiously optimistic that this recent sale signals that customers are willing to begin investing again in those products which demonstrate strong ROI characteristics."

In a release dated May 7, the company stated:

- Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 were $18.0 million, down from $23.4 million in the prior quarter and down from $24.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.

- License revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 were $4.3 million, down from the $7.9 million reported in the prior quarter and $4.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. Service revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 were $13.7 million, compared to $15.4 million in the prior quarter and $19.9 million reported for the same period of fiscal year 2008.

- Chordiant reported a GAAP net loss of $3.5 million, or GAAP loss per basic share of $0.12, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.2 million, or GAAP loss per basic share of $0.04, for the same period of fiscal year 2008. Included in the GAAP results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was a $0.7 million non-cash deferred tax expense.

- Chordiant reported a second quarter fiscal year 2009 non-GAAP net loss of $1.6 million, or a non-GAAP loss per basic share of $0.05, compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.1 million, or non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share of $0.00, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net loss exclude stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, and the non-cash tax expense relating to net operating loss carryforwards.

- Deferred revenue at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $36.4 million, a decrease of $6.7 million as compared to the ending balance of $43.1 million at December 31, 2008. Deferred revenue does not include future amounts due under the Vodafone transaction that was closed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

- Bookings were $8.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, compared to $13.6 million in the prior quarter and $20.4 million in the same period last year.

- Chordiant's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities position decreased by approximately $0.5 million during the quarter to $53.4 million at March 31, as compared to $53.9 million at December 31, 2008. The modest decline in the cash balance resulted from the impact of translating the company's international currency positions into U.S. dollars. On a constant currency basis using exchange rates as of December 31, 2008, Chordiant's cash balance would have increased to approximately $54.7 million.
