ADVENT SOFTWARE REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Company Reports Revenues of $43.7 million

 

San Francisco, CA, Thursday, April 27, 2006 - Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADVS) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006.

 

RESULTS

Total net revenues for the first quarter of 2006 were $43.7 million, compared with $45.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, and $39.4 million in the same quarter last year. This year-over-year increase reflects continued strength and momentum in the Company’s business including maintenance and other recurring revenues. Maintenance revenues have increased primarily due to strong up-selling to higher-value customer service plans.  Over 30% of Advent’s client base is now on premium service plans compared to 18% one year ago.

 

Total expenses, including cost of revenues, for the first quarter of 2006 were $42.6 million, compared with $43.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, and $39.5 million in the same quarter last year. Expenses for the first quarter of 2006 included $3.2 million in stock-based compensation expenses, due to the implementation of SFAS 123(R).

 

Interest income and other, net was $1.3 million for first quarter of 2006, compared with $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and $897,000 in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes was a credit of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2006 as a result of receiving a state income tax refund and a reduction in other projected tax liabilities.  The provision for income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $213,000 and was $14,000 in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $3.4 million, compared with $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, and $737,000 in the same quarter last year.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.11, compared to $0.11 in the previous quarter and $0.02 per share in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $136.5 million as of March 31, 2006. This compares to $163.4 million at December 31, 2005. During the quarter, the Company completed its Board-authorized stock repurchase program, buying back 1.2 million shares for a total outlay of $33.7 million.

 

Cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2006 was approximately $9.1 million compared with $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 and $12.3 million last quarter.

 

“We are very pleased to report another strong quarter for Advent,” said Stephanie DiMarco, Chief Executive Officer. “The Company is performing across all areas — product sales, development of

 


 

new innovative solutions and delivery of rapid, high-quality implementations. As evidenced by our 89 new customer wins during the quarter, demand for our industry-leading and dependable solutions continues to be robust, allowing us to both broaden and deepen our customer base. Advent’s solutions also remain critical to our large installed base of customers, leading to healthy growth in our customer services programs.”
