Double-Take Software, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results

"I was pleased with the results of the past quarter. The results were similar to our second quarter, which is what we expected. This signals to us that normalized buying patterns have returned," said Dean Goodermote, Chairman, CEO and President. "We continue to broaden our product portfolio. We just released a major upgrade targeted at the Remote Office Back Office ("ROBO") market which expands our market opportunity, and our new migration product has opened the door to some larger deals for core Double-Take. I am also optimistic about our ability to execute on a cloud initiative which should position us well in the market next year."

Total revenue for the quarter, which consists of software revenue and maintenance and professional services revenue, decreased 11.2% to $21.3 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $24.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. Software revenue decreased 20.3% to $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $12.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. Maintenance and professional services revenue decreased 0.6% to $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. On a constant currency basis, total revenue in the third quarter of 2009 declined by 8.8%, software revenue declined by 18.5% and maintenance and professional services revenue increased by 2.3% compared to the third quarter of 2008.

Income from operations was $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2008. Net income totaled $1.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009 compared with $2.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.

Income from operations on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis in the third quarter of 2009 was $4.6 million compared with $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted, non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2009 was $2.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $3.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.

The Company calculates these adjusted non-GAAP income measures by excluding the effects in the respective periods of the non-cash stock based compensation from operating expenses. An explanation of these adjusted, non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP results are provided in the tables included in this press release, and these measures should only be viewed together with the reconciliation and the further explanation given under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Cash generated from operations was $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. Cash and short term investments at September 30, 2009 totaled $89.4 million, an increase of approximately $5.3 million from June 30, 2009.

2009 Financial Guidance

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 is anticipated to be in the range of $22.0 to $24.0 million. Adjusted non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter is expected to be $3.8 to $5.5 million. Assuming an effective income tax rate on non-GAAP income of approximately 43%, non-GAAP net income per share for the fourth quarter is expected to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.14 per diluted share and weighted average diluted shares using the treasury method for the fourth quarter are expected to be approximately 23.4 to 23.5 million shares.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Double-Take Software, Inc. has provided in this press release adjusted financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are identified above as "adjusted, non-GAAP" measures. Double-Take Software, Inc. uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company's operational performance. Double-Take Software, Inc. believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Double-Take Software, Inc.'s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The historical non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude the following item required to be included by GAAP: non-cash stock-based compensation charges. The Company's expectations for adjusted, non-GAAP income and income per share for the fourth quarter of 2009 excludes the impact of stock-based compensation charges, the amount and significance of which, because of the information and assumptions underlying those charges, cannot readily be determined at this time.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
