Acxiom® Announces Fiscal 2007 Results

Company also moves to new three-division alignment

 

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – May 16, 2007 – Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today reported full-year and fourth-quarter financial results for fiscal 2007 ended March 31, 2007, and also announced a new organizational alignment designed to increase focus on the company’s three core areas of business. The reported results, excluding unusual charges, met the Company’s expectations and consensus analysts’ estimates of $.20 earnings per share for the quarter.

 

Full 2007 fiscal-year results include revenue of $1.4 billion, income from operations of $158.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $.84. These results include the impact in the fourth quarter of unusual charges that reduced diluted EPS for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year by $.12.

 

Fourth-quarter results include revenue of $357.3 million, income from operations of $29.3 million, diluted earnings per share of $.08, operating cash flow of $76.5 million and free cash flow available to equity of $15.4 million.

 

Acxiom will hold a conference call at 6:45 p.m. CDT today to discuss this information further. Interested parties are invited to listen to the call, which will be broadcast via the Internet at www.acxiom.com.

 

Acxiom’s new organizational structure reflects the unique characteristics within each area of the business and will facilitate the execution of operational strategies designed to maximize financial performance in each division. The re-segmentation took effect April 1, 2007, the first day of the company’s fiscal year 2008.

 

“This change is all about bringing focus and dedicated management to each key area of our business,” Acxiom chairman and chief executive Charles D. Morgan said. “We believe this structure more closely aligns with our overall mission and therefore will lead to greater returns for our shareholders.”

 

Acxiom is composed of, and will report financial results by, three divisions under a single company umbrella. Those divisions, chief executives, and business characteristics include:

 

 

Acxiom Services Division – Lee Hodges, chief executive: The division develops, sells and delivers industry-tailored solutions globally through the integration of products, services and consulting. The primary target market is the Fortune 1000 and other large

global firms. This division is responsible for Acxiom’s marketing database solutions, customer data integration (CDI) offerings, e-mail and internet search marketing services, consulting and professional services,  and the Business Information Grid (BIG) non-hosted solutions that will be offered in fiscal 2008, utilizing a client-intimate engagement model characterized by long-term client relationships.

 

Acxiom Information Products Division – Alex Dietz, chief executive: The division develops and sells all data and risk mitigation products, including InfoBase®, Personicx® and InsightIdentify in the U.S. as well as all Acxiom European Data Products. It focuses on product development, product lifecycle management, data content management and innovation. Its primary go-to-market channels are the Acxiom Services Division for Fortune 1000 clients, a direct sales force for the mid-tier and the broker and reseller market.

 

Acxiom Infrastructure Management Division – Marty Sunde, chief executive: The division is fully responsible for developing and delivering Information Technology products and services that improve a company’s ability to manage its information technology deliver platform at lower costs and higher efficiencies.  Such offerings include traditional IT outsourcing and transformational solutions such as the Acxiom data factory.  The division primarily focuses on supporting an entire infrastructure for high growth, emerging companies, or specific components of larger enterprise IT organizations.  Operational excellence and efficient asset and capital management practices characterize this division. 

 

“At this point in Acxiom’s evolution, re-segmenting our company into three autonomous but very tightly connected divisions creates a business that can be more effectively and efficiently managed,” Morgan said. “We’ll be able to make better-targeted investment and operational decisions in each area, and the added transparency into our financial performance will provide more clarity – internally and externally.”

 

Acxiom also announced that it has hired Chris Wolf to become the company’s Chief Financial Officer. Wolf will begin working at Acxiom in a few weeks and will transition into the CFO role over the next few months. Wolf most recently has served as a senior advisor at Boulder Specialty Brands and previously was executive vice president and CFO at Catalina Marketing Corporation.

 

Acxiom’s fiscal 2007 highlights include:

 

Revenue of $1.40 billion, up 4.7 percent from $1.33 billion a year ago, an increase of $63 million in annual revenue.

 

Income from operations of $158.8 million, an increase of 21.1 percent compared to $131.1 million in fiscal 2006.

 

Diluted earnings per share of $.84, up 18 percent from $.71 the year before.

 

Fiscal year results include the impact of pretax charges of $9.7 million and income tax expense of $3.8 million related to closing Acxiom’s business in Spain, cost of severance and retirement of debt in the U.S. and additional research tax credit reserves that reduced diluted EPS for the full fiscal year by $.12.

 

Operating cash flow of $260.0 million and free cash flow available to equity of $55.2 million.

This release and today’s conference call contain forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Such statements may include but are not necessarily limited to the following: that we expect that our emphasis on revenue growth will lead to increased rates of revenue growth, that we expect that continued focus on expense controls will lead to continued improvement in operating margins, that the projected revenue, operating margin, return on assets and return on invested capital, operating cash flow and free cash flow, borrowings, dividends and other metrics will be within the estimated ranges; that the estimations of revenue, earnings, cash flow, growth rates, restructuring charges and expense reductions will be within the estimated ranges; and that the business pipeline and our anticipated cost structure will allow us to continue to meet or exceed revenue, cash flow and other projections. The following are important factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements: The possibility that certain contracts may not be closed, or may not be closed within the anticipated time frames; the possibility that clients may attempt to reduce the amount of business they do with the Company; the possibility that in the event that a change of control of the Company was sought that certain of the clients of the Company would invoke certain provisions in their contracts resulting in a decline in the revenue and profit of the Company; the possibility that certain contracts may not generate the anticipated revenue or profitability; the possibility that negative changes in economic or other conditions might lead to a reduction in demand for our products and services; the possibility of an economic slowdown or that economic conditions in general will not be as expected; the possibility that the historical seasonality of our business may change; the possibility that significant customers may experience extreme, severe economic difficulty; the possibility that the integration of acquired businesses may not be as successful as planned; the possibility that the fair value of certain of our assets may not be equal to the carrying value of those assets now or in future time periods; the possibility that sales cycles may lengthen; the possibility that we may not be able to attract and retain qualified technical and leadership associates, or that we may lose key associates to other organizations; the possibility that we won’t be able to properly motivate our sales force or other associates; the possibility that we won’t be able to achieve cost reductions and avoid unanticipated costs; the possibility that we won’t be able to continue to receive credit upon satisfactory terms and conditions; the possibility that competent, competitive products, technologies or services will be introduced into the marketplace by other companies; the possibility that we may be subjected to pricing pressure due to market conditions and/or competitive products and services; the possibility that there will be changes in consumer or business information industries and markets that negatively impact the Company; the possibility that changes in accounting pronouncements may occur and may impact these projections; the possibility that we won’t be able to protect proprietary information and technology or to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms; the possibility that we may encounter difficulties when entering new markets or industries; the possibility that there will be changes in the legislative, accounting, regulatory and consumer environments affecting our business, including but not limited to litigation, legislation, regulations and customs relating to our ability to collect, manage, aggregate and use data; the possibility that data suppliers might withdraw data from us, leading to our inability to provide certain products and services; the possibility that we may enter into short-term contracts which would affect the predictability of our revenues; the possibility that the amount of ad hoc, volume-based and project work will not be as expected; the possibility that we may experience a loss of data center capacity or interruption of telecommunication links or power sources; the possibility that we may experience failures or breaches of our network and data security systems, leading to potential adverse publicity, negative customer reaction, or liability to third parties; the possibility that postal rates may increase, thereby leading to reduced volumes of business; the possibility that our clients may cancel or modify their agreements with us; the possibility that we will not successfully complete customer

contract requirements on time or meet the service levels specified in the contracts, which may result in contract penalties or lost revenue; the possibility that we experience processing errors which result in credits to customers, re-performance of services or payment of damages to customers; the possibility that the services of the United States Postal Service, their global counterparts and other delivery systems may be disrupted; and the possibility that we may be affected by other competitive factors.

With respect to the board-approved business plan, all of the above factors apply, along with the following which were assumptions made in creating the board-approved business plan: that the U.S. and global economies will continue to improve at a moderate pace; that global growth will continue to be strong and that globalization trends will continue to grow at an increasing pace; that Acxiom’s computer, communications and other equipment expenses will continue to fall as a percentage of revenue; that the Customer Information Infrastructure (CII) grid-based environment will continue to be implemented successfully over the next 3-4 years and that the new CII infrastructure will continue to provide increasing operational efficiencies; that the acquisitions of companies operating primarily outside of the United States will be successfully integrated and that significant efficiencies will be realized from this integration; relating to operating cash flow and free cash flow, that sufficient operating and capital lease arrangements will continue to be available to the Company to provide for the financing of most of its computer equipment and that software suppliers will continue to provide financing arrangements for most of the software purchases; relating to revolving credit line balance, that free cash flow will meet expectations and that the Company will use free cash flow to pay down bank debt, buy back stock and fund dividends; relating to annual dividends, that the board of directors will continue to approve quarterly dividends and will vote to increase dividends over time; relating to diluted shares, that the Company will meet its cash flow expectations and that potential dilution created through the issuance of equity instruments will be mitigated by continued stock repurchases in accordance with the Company’s stock repurchase program. With respect to the provision of products or services outside our primary base of operations in the United States, all of the above factors apply, along with the difficulty of doing business in numerous sovereign jurisdictions due to differences in scale, competition, culture, laws and regulations.

Other factors are detailed from time to time in our periodic reports and registration statements filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that we have the product and technology offerings, facilities, associates and competitive and financial resources for continued business success, but future revenues, costs, margins and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, including those discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.

We undertake no obligation to update the information contained in this press release or any other forward-looking statement.
