Company Continues Execution on Channel Strategy and Delivers New Product Releases

IRVING, Texas – Sept. 10, 2015 – Daegis Inc. (NASDAQ: DAEG), a global information governance, data migration and application development software company, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended July 31, 2015.

Commenting on the results, Daegis’ CEO Tim Bacci said, “Our first quarter results reflect the execution of our enterprise software strategy and the wind down of our eDiscovery services business. Excluding eDiscovery services revenue and the headwind from the strengthening dollar over last year, our revenue is slightly up year over year. There is stability in our core business with strong maintenance renewals and a backlog of approximately $1.2 million in professional services, which we expect to recognize over the remainder of this fiscal year. Our product roadmap is customer-focused with a major upgrade release of the archive planned for later this month as well as a recently released new version of our SQLBase product that delivers significant new functionality for our development and database customers.”

Bacci continued, “We’re managing the business by investing in the areas that continue to advance our strategy while maintaining a disciplined cost structure in support of our long-term strategic objectives. Our focus is where it needs to be, which is developing sustainable global direct and channel programs and initiatives while delivering products that meet the needs of our customers. Consistent with what we’ve been anticipating, we expect to begin to see top line growth, with second quarter revenue sequentially increasing by a range of $250,000 to $750,000 over the first quarter of fiscal 2016.”

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) TO ADJUSTED EBITDA
(In thousands, except per share data)

Daegis utilizes financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") to supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results. We also believe these Non-GAAP measures provide investors with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company's future financial performance. Management uses the Non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, to evaluate the Company's performance and to forecast. We believe that our investors should have access to, and that we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. The presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Our Non-GAAP measures adjust GAAP income (loss) from operations and GAAP net income (loss) for non-cash stock based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and non-recurring charges. For more information on these Non-GAAP financial measures including how they are calculated, please see the tables in this release captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Operating Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” which includes a reconciliation of the GAAP results to Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA results.
