Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $125.5 million, compared to revenues of $132.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $3.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, compared to GAAP net income of $87.4 million, or $1.58 per share on a diluted basis for the third quarter of 2008. GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2008 included a one-time income tax benefit of $80.0 million associated with the reversal of the company's deferred tax valuation allowance.
Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $8.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, compared to third quarter 2008 non-GAAP net income of $16.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. A detailed reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the attached tables.
"Our third-quarter performance was in-line with our expectations," said Philip M. Pead, Eclipsys president and chief executive officer. "I was very pleased with our bookings in the third quarter, particularly the amount of new enterprise business we signed."
The non-GAAP earnings per share guidance range remains $0.55 to $0.60 for 2009, and the company will provide 2010 financial guidance in its fourth quarter earnings release.
Balance Sheet Update
In the quarter, Eclipsys repaid $45 million of debt on its credit facility. These payments were funded through available cash, operating cash flows and $23.6 million in proceeds from the sale of auction rate securities. Eclipsys ended the quarter with $122.1 million of cash and $86.0 million in long-term investments.
Through the third quarter of 2009, Eclipsys has generated $29.9 million in free cash flows, compared to $8.7 million through the third quarter of 2008. The company defines free cash flow as operating cash flows less capitalized software development costs and capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Measures
The company has provided net income and earnings per share financial measures on a non-GAAP basis for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, which exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, amortization expense associated with acquisitions, and certain additional items that the company does not consider to be indicative of its underlying business performance, as listed on the attached GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables. Because of the significance of the GAAP components excluded, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provided, when considered in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, facilitate the understanding and evaluation of the company's operating performance and future prospects, as well as comparisons of the company's results with its prior period results that did not include these gains and/or charges, and with results of other companies on a more consistent basis. Internally, management uses non-GAAP net income and earnings for forecasting and to help make management decisions, as an indicator of business performance, and to evaluate management's effectiveness and help determine bonuses for management and others.
The economic substance of omitting non-cash stock-based compensation expense in presenting non-GAAP earnings derives from providing investors with consistent measures of performance both before and after including non-cash stock-based compensation charges. The economic substance of omitting the other items incurred that the company does not consider to be indicative of its underlying business performance derives from the fact that such episodic gains and/or charges make it more difficult to compare operating results of different periods, not all of which include such gains and/or charges. However, the omission of non-cash stock-based compensation expense may mask an economic cost incurred by the company in connection with stock-based compensation, and the omission of the charges related to the company's other non-GAAP adjustments may mask actual and expected future costs associated with such matters. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
The company has provided reconciling tables attached to this release.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this news release or the investor call referenced herein, including those concerning the company's operational initiatives, future performance expectations, and effects of economic conditions are forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Future performance expectations are predicated upon achievement of various sales and performance targets that may be difficult to meet. Economic conditions are unstable and may cause hospitals and other healthcare providers to curtail HIT system spending. Eclipsys' cost reduction and other initiatives in response to the challenging economic environment, including initiatives designed to improve operational efficiencies, may not be effective, and it is difficult to predict what the company may be able to achieve. Eclipsys sales may fall below expectations due to market conditions, competition, and other factors, including client demands for pricing and financing concessions. Costs may be greater than anticipated due to the potential need to increase spending to ensure performance in accordance with commitments to clients, regulatory requirements, and other factors. Software development may take longer and cost more than expected, and incorporation of anticipated features and functionality (including as required to comply with ARRA and related regulations, as well as other certification standards) may be delayed, due to various factors including programming and integration challenges and resource constraints. The market is highly competitive. Implementation and customization of Eclipsys software is complex and time-consuming. Results depend upon a variety of factors and can vary by client. Each client's circumstances are unique and may include unforeseen issues that make it more difficult than anticipated to implement or derive benefit from software, implementation or consulting services. The success and timeliness of the company's services will depend at least in part upon client involvement, which can be difficult to control. Eclipsys is required to meet specified performance standards and regulatory requirements, and clients can terminate contracts, assess penalties or reduce contract scope under certain circumstances. More information about company risks is available in recent Form 10-K and other filings made by Eclipsys from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Special attention is directed to the portions of those documents entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
