Achieves Record Net Revenue and 15% Sequential Quarterly GrowthSUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug 22, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Blue Coat Systems,
Inc. (Nasdaq: BCSI), a leader in WAN Application Delivery and Secure Web
Gateway, today reported its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal
2008 ended July 31, 2007. Net revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2008
was $62.4 million, an increase of 71% compared to net revenue of $36.4 million
for the same quarter last year and a 15% increase compared to net revenue of
$54.5 million in the prior quarter.
"We attribute delivery of this quarterly record net revenue to our
increasing success in the WAN Application Delivery market," said Brian
NeSmith, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Clearly our customers see
the value in our unique ability to provide security and high speed application
delivery in one appliance, our ProxySG(R) product."
On a GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $2.6 million, or $0.14
per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to a net loss
of $759,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 includes $3.3 million in stock-
based compensation expense, $1.9 million in expenses associated with the stock
option investigation, and $0.4 million in amortization of intangible assets.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, net income includes $2.5 million in
legal and accounting expenses associated with the stock option investigation
and related restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements,
$1.9 million in stock-based compensation expense, $1.7 million related to
payroll taxes, interest and penalties on stock options, and $0.4 million in
amortization of intangible assets.
The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $8.3 million, or $0.43 per
diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to non-GAAP net
income of $5.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2007.
Blue Coat ended the quarter on July 31, 2007, with cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments, and restricted investments totaling $118 million, an
increase of $19 million from the prior quarter.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude the amortization
of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, expenses associated
with the stock option investigation and related restatement of the Company's
consolidated financial statements, and payroll taxes, interest and penalties
on stock options. Refer to the accompanying tables for a detailed
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and earnings per share.
Financial Outlook
For the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2007, the Company currently
anticipates net revenue in the range of $67 - $70 million. On a non-GAAP
basis, which excludes the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based
compensation expense, and expenses associated with the stock option
investigation, net income is expected to be between $8.6 - $10.1 million, or
$0.43 - $0.50 per diluted share.
Two-for-One Stock Split
On August 16, 2007, Blue Coat's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one
forward stock split of the Company's common stock. The stock split will be
effected by the issuance of a stock dividend of one share of BCSI common stock
for each share of BCSI common stock issued and outstanding as of the record
date of September 13, 2007. The shares of BCSI common stock resulting from
the stock split will be issued by BCSI's transfer agent. Following the stock
split, Blue Coat will have approximately 36.3 million shares outstanding, on
an as converted basis, based on the number of shares outstanding as of August
21, 2007. BCSI will begin trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on a split-
adjusted basis on October 3, 2007.
The financial outlook of $0.43 - $0.50 per diluted share referenced above
translates to $0.21 - $0.25 per diluted share, reflecting the effect of the
stock split.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Blue Coat uses the non-GAAP financial measures of income discussed above
for internal evaluation and to report the results of its business. These non-
GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross
profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net
income, and non-GAAP net income per share. These measures are not in
accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The measures are intended to
supplement GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies. Blue Coat believes that these
measures provide useful information to its management, board of directors and
investors regarding its ongoing operating activities and business trends
related to its financial condition and results of operations. Blue Coat
believes that it is useful to provide investors with information to understand
how specific line items in the statement of operations are affected by certain
items, such as the legal and accounting expenses related to the stock option
investigation and restatement of the Company's consolidated financial
statements, stock-based compensation expense, payroll taxes, penalties and
interest related to the disqualification of stock options due to revised
measurement dates, and amortization of intangible assets. In addition, the
Company's management and board of directors use certain non-GAAP financial
measures in developing operating budgets and in reviewing the Company's
financial results of operations since items such as the legal and accounting
expenses related to the stock option investigation and related restatement of
the Company's consolidated financial statements, stock-based compensation
expense, payroll taxes, penalties and interest related to the disqualification
of stock options due to revised measurement dates, and amortization of
intangible assets are not considered to impact current resource allocation
decisions. The Company believes that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial
measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports of financial
results. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP measures have
inherent limitations and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
