Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by TIBCO Software Inc. (the “Company” or “TIBCO”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, and its results of operations and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended November 30, 2002 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2003.

 

For purposes of presentation, the Company has indicated the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002 as ending on May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002, respectively; whereas in fact, the Company’s second fiscal quarters ended on the Friday nearest to the end of May.

 

The results of operations for the three months and six months ended May 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending November 30, 2003 or any other future interim period, and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income or cash flows.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” on December 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized, but are instead tested for impairment annually or sooner if circumstances indicate they may no longer be recoverable. In addition, the standard includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill and the reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles. In accordance with this statement, assembled workforce has been reclassified to goodwill.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

License revenue consists principally of revenue earned under software license agreements. License revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been shipped or electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein vendor specific objective evidence exists for all undelivered elements, the Company accounts for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method” prescribed by Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-9. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period. Revenue on shipments to resellers, when subject to certain rights of return and price protection, is recognized when the products are sold by the resellers to the end-user customer.

Table of Contents

Service revenue consists primarily of revenue received for performing implementation of system solutions, on-site support, consulting and training. Service revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed.

 

Maintenance revenue consists of fees for providing software updates on a when and if available basis and technical support for software products (post-contract support or “PCS”). Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

 

Payments received in advance of services performed are recorded as deferred revenue. Allowances for estimated future returns and discounts are provided for upon recognition of revenue.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if their effect is dilutive. Certain potential common shares are not included in computing net income (loss) per share because they are anti-dilutive.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, deferred compensation is only recorded if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price on the date of grant.

 

The following is a summary of the effect on net income (loss) and per share impacts if the Company had applied a fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to account for stock-based compensation for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data):

Table of Contents

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to consultants is recognized as earned using the multiple option method, and is shown by expense category. At each reporting date, the Company re-values the unvested portion of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As a result, the stock-based compensation expense will fluctuate as the fair market value of the Company’s common stock fluctuates.

 

Restructuring Charges

 

The Company’s restructuring charges are comprised primarily of costs related to properties abandoned in connection with facilities consolidation, related write-down of leasehold improvements and severance and associated employee termination costs related to headcount reductions. For restructuring actions initiated prior to December 31, 2002, the Company recorded the liability related to these termination costs when the plan was approved, the termination benefits were determined and communicated to the employees, the number of employees to be terminated, their locations and job was specifically identified and the period of time to implement the plan was set. For restructuring actions initiated after January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” which requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that were initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

 

The Company records the costs associated with lease termination or abandonment when the leased property has no substantive future use or benefit to the Company. A liability is recorded as the sum of the total remaining lease costs and related exit costs, less probable sublease income. The costs related to long-lived assets abandoned are accounted for through a charge to expense for the net carrying value of the long-lived assets when the Company ceases to use the assets.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that possess certain characteristics. FIN 46 requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest entity must be included in the consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The Company does not have any ownership in any variable interest entities as of January 31, 2003. The Company will apply the consolidation requirements of FIN 46 in future periods should interest in a variable interest entity be acquired.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on June 1, 2003 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

 

In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on December 1, 2002, $103.2 million in goodwill, which includes $1.2 million in assembled workforce, net of accumulated amortization and taxes that was reclassified to goodwill, is no longer amortized, but is instead tested for impairment annually or sooner if circumstances indicate that it may no longer be recoverable.

 

SFAS No. 142 prescribes a two-step process for transitional impairment testing of goodwill. The first step, screens for impairment, while the second step, measures the impairment, if any. The Company performed its transitional goodwill impairment test during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, which did not indicate impairment existed. SFAS No. 142 requires impairment testing based on reporting units, however, the Company operates in one segment which it considers its sole reporting unit. Therefore, goodwill was tested for impairment at the entity level. The fair value of the entity, which was determined based on current market capitalization, exceeded its carrying value, and goodwill was determined not to be impaired.

 

The following is a summary of reported net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share as adjusted to exclude amortization of goodwill and assembled workforce for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company conducts business in North America, South America, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. As a result, the Company’s financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. A majority of sales are currently made in U.S. dollars. The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) to manage exposure related to accounts receivables denominated in foreign currencies. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Gains and losses on the contracts are included in other income (expense) in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts related to accounts receivable generally have original maturities corresponding to the due dates of the receivables. The Company had outstanding forward contracts with amounts totaling approximately $3.2 million at May 31, 2003, which expire at various dates through September 2003. The fair value of these forward contracts at May 31, 2003 was not significant.

 

Indemnifications

 

The Company’s software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of customers for intellectual property infringement claims. To date, no such claims have been filed against the Company. The Company also warrants to customers that software products operate substantially in accordance with specifications. Historically, minimal costs have been incurred related to product warranties, and as such no accruals for warranty costs have been made.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company, certain of the Company’s directors and officers and certain investment bank underwriters have been named in a putative class action for violation of the federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned In re TIBCO Software, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 01 Civ. 6110 (SAS). This is one of the number of cases challenging underwriting practices in the initial public offerings (“IPOs”) of more than 300 companies. These cases have been coordinated for pretrial proceedings as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS). Plaintiffs generally allege that certain underwriters engaged in undisclosed and improper underwriting activities, namely the receipt of excessive brokerage commissions and customer agreements regarding post-offering purchases of stock in exchange for allocations of IPO shares. Plaintiffs also allege that various investment bank securities analysts issued false and misleading analyst reports. The complaint against the Company claims that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statements for the IPO and secondary public offering and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased the Company’s securities or sold put options during the time period from July 13, 1999 to December 6, 2000. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an Opinion and Order denying the motion to dismiss certain of the claims in the complaint. The Company has engaged in discussions with the plaintiffs regarding a proposed settlement of the claims. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the allegations in the complaint and intends to defend the case vigorously.

A lawsuit with similar allegations of undisclosed improper underwriting practices, and part of the same coordinated proceedings, is pending against Talarian Corporation (“Talarian”), which the Company acquired in 2002. That action is captioned In re Talarian Corp. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 01 Civ. 7474 (SAS). The complaint against Talarian, certain of its underwriters, and certain of its former directors and officers claims that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statement for Talarian’s IPO and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased Talarian securities during the time period from July 20, 2000 to December 6, 2000. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an Opinion and Order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss certain of the claims in the complaint. The Company has engaged in discussions with the plaintiffs regarding a proposed settlement of the claims. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the remaining claims against Talarian and intends to defend against those claims vigorously.

6. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s current estimate of its annual effective tax rate on anticipated operating income for the 2003 tax year is 40%. The estimated annual effective tax rate of 40% has been used to record the provision for income taxes for the six-month period ended May 31, 2003 compared with an effective tax rate of 10% used to record the provision for income taxes for the comparable period in 2002. The estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, stock-based compensation charges, foreign tax rate differences, R&D tax credits and the net operating losses and temporary differences not recognized applicable to the net deferred tax assets. We maintained a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because we expect that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Reuters

The Company has entered into commercial transactions with Reuters Group PLC, including its wholly owned and partially owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Reuters”), a principal stockholder of the Company.

 

Reuters is a distributor of the Company’s products to customers in the financial services segment pursuant to a license, maintenance and distribution agreement between the Company and Reuters. Under the agreement, Reuters has agreed to pay a minimum guaranteed distribution fee, which consists of a portion of Reuters’ revenue from its sales of the Company’s products and related services and maintenance, to the Company in the amount of $20.0 million per year through December 2003. These fees are recognized ratably over the corresponding period as related party revenue. For each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, Reuters had guaranteed minimum distribution fees of $20.0 million. If actual distribution fees due from Reuters’ exceed the cumulative minimum year-to-date guarantee, incremental fees are due. Such incremental fees are recognized in the period when the year-to-date fees exceed the cumulative minimum guarantee. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recognized $3.3 million in incremental fees related to Reuters exceeding the calendar 2002 guaranteed minimum distribution fees; no incremental fees were recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 nor for the first or second quarters of fiscal 2002. Royalty payments to Reuters for resale of Reuters products and services and fees associated with sales to the financial services segment are classified as related party cost of sales. In addition, the agreement requires the Company to provide Reuters with internal maintenance and support until December 31, 2011 for a fee of $2.0 million per year plus an annual CPI-based increase, subject to Reuters annual renewal option. This amount is recognized ratably over the corresponding period as related party maintenance revenue.

Table of Contents

The Company recognized $6.1 million and $6.4 million in revenue from Reuters in the second fiscal quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $17.3 million and $13.0 million for the six month periods ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Revenue from Reuters consists primarily of product and maintenance fees on its sales of TIBCO products under the terms of the license agreement with Reuters. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recognized $1.7 million in distribution fees for arrangements outside the terms of the license agreement with Reuters. No distribution fees for arrangements outside the terms of the license agreement with Reuters were recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 nor for the first or second quarters of fiscal 2002. Revenue from Reuters accounted for approximately 10.0% and 9.9% of total revenue for the second fiscal quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively, and 13.8% and 9.4% of total revenue for the six month periods ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company incurred $0.2 million and $1.4 million in royalty and commission expense to Reuters in the second quarters of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $0.6 million and $2.4 million in royalty and commission expense for the six month periods ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Cisco Systems

 

The Company has entered into commercial transactions with Cisco Systems, Inc., a principal stockholder of the Company.

The Company has recorded a total of $58.4 million in unearned compensation through May 31, 2003, representing the difference between the fair value of its common stock at the date of option grant and the exercise price of such options and in connection with acquisitions. In addition, as of May 31, 2003, the Company expects to record additional acquisition related compensation expense of up to $0.2 million in connection with additional cash consideration contingent on the vesting and exercise of stock options and restricted stock, which were unvested at the acquisition date.

 

In connection with the grant of stock options to consultants, the Company recognized a negligible amount of stock-based compensation expense and $0.6 million of stock-based compensation income in the second quarters of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, and stock-based compensation income of $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the six month periods ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

In the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and for the six month period ended May 31, 2003, there were no payroll taxes due as a result of employee exercises of nonqualified stock options. In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recognized $0.6 million of stock compensation expense related to payroll taxes due as a result of employee exercises of nonqualified stock options and recognized $1.3 million of such expense for the six month period ended May 31, 2002.

Revenue from Reuters is primarily included in the European geographic segment. One customer accounted for 10.0% of revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. One customer accounted for 13.8% of total revenue in the six month period ended May 31, 2003. No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of total revenue during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and the six month period ended May 31, 2002. Long-lived assets outside the United States at May 31, 2003 and 2002 were not material.

 

11. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1.1 million related to a reduction in headcount to further align the Company’s cost structure with changing market conditions. This reduction of approximately 44 employees was comprised of 60% sales and marketing staff, 5% general and administrative staff, and 35% research and development staff.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Talarian in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company abandoned the Talarian facilities and recorded an accrual for the estimated losses to be incurred to sublet such facilities. The accrual was recorded using the guidance provided by EITF 95-3 “Recognition of Liabilities in a Purchase Business Combination” and included as part of the purchase price of Talarian Corporation. The acquisition integration liabilities include the incremental costs to exit and consolidate activities at Talarian locations, termination of certain Talarian employees, and for other costs to integrate operating locations and other activities of Talarian with those of the Company. Generally accepted accounting principles require that these acquisition integration expenses, which are not associated with the generation of future revenues and have no future economic benefit, be reflected as assumed liabilities in the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired. The components of the acquisition integration liabilities include workforce reductions and facilities related costs.

 

The following sets forth the Company’s accrued restructuring costs as of May 31, 2003. Accrued excess facilities costs represent the estimated loss on abandoned facilities, net of sublease income, that are expected to be paid over the next eight years. Accrued severance costs for the four remaining employees are expected to be paid during fiscal 2003.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially include those set forth in the following discussion, and, in particular, the risks discussed below under the subheading “Factors that May Affect Operating Results” and in other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

 

We are a leading enabler of real-time business. We are the successor to a portion of the business of Teknekron Software Systems, Inc. Teknekron developed software, known as the TIB technology, for the integration and delivery of market data, such as stock quotes, news and other financial information, in trading rooms of large banks and financial services institutions. In 1992, Teknekron expanded its development efforts to include solutions designed to enable complex and disparate manufacturing equipment and software applications—primarily in the semiconductor fabrication market—to communicate within the factory environment. Teknekron was acquired by Reuters Group PLC, the global news and information group, in 1994. Following the acquisition, continued development of the TIB technology was undertaken to expand its use in the financial services markets.

 

In January 1997, our company, TIBCO Software Inc., was established as an entity separate from Teknekron. We were formed to create and market software solutions for use in the integration of business information, processes and applications in diverse markets and industries outside the financial services sector. In connection with our establishment as a separate entity, Reuters transferred to us certain assets and liabilities related to our business and granted to us a royalty-free license to the intellectual property from which some of our messaging software products originated. Reuters also assigned to us at that time license and service contracts primarily within the high-tech manufacturing and energy markets, including contracts with NEC, Motorola, Mobil and Chevron.

 

Our revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002 consisted primarily of license and maintenance fees from our customers and distributors, including fees from Reuters pursuant to our license agreement, both of which were primarily attributable to sales of our TIBCO ActiveEnterprise product suite. In addition, we receive fees from our customers for providing project integration services. We also receive revenue from our strategic relationships with business partners who embed our products in their hardware and networking systems as well as from systems integrators who resell our products.

 

Reuters is a distributor of our products to customers in the financial services segment. As of May 31, 2003, Reuters owns approximately 49.1% of our outstanding capital stock and nominated two members on our Board of Directors. We have a license, maintenance, and distribution agreement with Reuters pursuant to which Reuters pays a minimum guaranteed distribution fee to us in the amount of $20 million per year through December 2003. For the calendar years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, Reuters’ guaranteed minimum distribution fees were $20.0 million per year. These fees are recognized ratably over the corresponding period as related party revenue. If actual distribution fees due from Reuters’ exceed the cumulative minimum year-to-date guarantee, incremental fees are due. Such incremental fees are recognized in the period when the year-to-date fees exceed the cumulative minimum level. Royalty payments to Reuters for resale of Reuters’ products and services or fees associated with sales to the financial services segment are classified as related party cost of revenue. In addition, our agreement with Reuters also requires us to provide Reuters with internal maintenance and support until December 31, 2011 for a fee of $2.0 million per year plus an annual CPI-based increase, subject to Reuters’ annual renewal option. This amount is recognized ratably over the corresponding period as related party service and maintenance revenue. Reuters’ obligation to pay us minimum guaranteed product fees expires at the end of 2003. The potential effect of the expiration of Reuters minimum fee obligations on our revenues from the financial services market and otherwise, is unclear, and in this regard, we may attempt to renegotiate the terms of our licensing and distribution relationship with Reuters. Any new agreement with Reuters would be the result of negotiations between Reuters and us, and, because of Reuters’ relationship with us and its

influence over our business, would be approved by a majority of our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent and disinterested directors.

 

Under our agreement with Reuters, we are restricted through May 28, 2004, from selling our products and providing consulting services directly to companies in the financial services market. We are also restricted from selling the TIB technology we license from Reuters directly to companies in the financial services market or major competitors of Reuters, or from using the TIB technology to develop products specifically for use by these companies. Accordingly, through May 28, 2004, we must rely on Reuters and, to a lesser extent, other third-party resellers and distributors to sell our products to these companies. Furthermore, Reuters is required to pay us product fees based on a percentage of its revenue from sales of our products in the financial services market, excluding products that are embedded in any Reuters products. These product fees may be materially less than the product fees we could obtain from other distributors or resellers in the financial services market. In addition, when we sell our products into the financial services market other than through Reuters, we are required to pay fees to Reuters, which we record as related party cost of revenue.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended November 30, 2002, included in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2003 and Note 2 to condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended May 31, 2003, included herein. We believe our most critical accounting policies include the following:

 

    revenue recognition;

 

    valuation allowances and accrued liabilities: allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and discounts;

 

    accrued restructuring costs;

 

    accounting for income taxes;

 

    valuation of long-lived and intangible assets; and

 

    accounting for investments.

 

Revenue recognition. We recognize license revenue when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been shipped or electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein vendor specific objective evidence exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method” prescribed by Statement of Position 98-9. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period. Revenue on shipments to resellers, when subject to certain rights of return and price protection, is recognized when the products are sold by the resellers to the end-user customer.

 

We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable at the time of the transaction. In determining whether the fee is fixed and determinable we compare the payment terms of the transaction to our normal payment terms. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms, we account for the fee as not being fixed and determinable and recognize revenue as the fees become due. We assess whether collection is probable based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past transaction history and credit-worthiness. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not probable, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. For such arrangements with multiple obligations, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the fair value of the undelivered elements. Fair values of ongoing maintenance and support obligations are based on separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support period. Fair value of services, such as consulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. Consulting and training services are generally billed based on hourly rates and revenues are generally recognized as the services are performed. Consulting services primarily consist of implementation services related to the installation of our products and generally do not include significant customization to or development of the underlying software code.

 

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accounting period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized could result.

 

Valuation allowances and accrued liabilities: Allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and discounts. We establish allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts based on our review of credit profiles of our customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends and historical payment, and return and discount experience. We reassess the allowance for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts each period. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue or expense recognized could result.

 

Accrued restructuring costs. We have recorded restructuring charges to align our cost structure with changing market conditions. These restructuring plans resulted in a reduction in headcount and the consolidation of facilities through the closing of excess field offices and relocation of corporate offices into one campus. Our restructuring charges included accruals for the estimated loss on facilities that we intend to sublease based on estimates of the timing and amount of sublease income. We reassess this liability each period based on market conditions. Revisions to our estimates of this liability could materially impact our operating results and financial position in future periods if anticipated events and key assumptions, such as the timing and amounts of sublease rental income, either change or do not materialize.

 

Accounting for income taxes. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves us estimating our current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the statement of operations. A valuation allowance is currently set against the deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized through the generation of future taxable income. We also do not provide for taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as it is our intention to reinvest undistributed earnings indefinitely.

 

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and our future taxable income for purposes of assessing our ability to realize any future benefit from our deferred tax assets. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, our operating results and financial position could be materially affected.

 

Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets. We assess other intangible assets and other long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash-flows resulting from the use of the assets. If we determine that the carrying value of other intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable we measure impairment by using the projected discounted cash-flow method.

 

On December 1, 2002 we adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” as related to goodwill and intangibles acquired prior to July 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 142,

 

19


Table of Contents

goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but, instead, tested for impairment annually or sooner if circumstances indicate that it might not be recoverable. Additionally, workforce no longer qualifies as a separately identifiable intangible and was reclassified as goodwill. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 resulted in the cessation of approximately $4.7 million in goodwill amortization per quarter including reclassified amounts at the time of implementation. In the event that goodwill is not recoverable, we may be required to record an impairment charge that could materially impact our operating results and financial position.

 

Accounting for investments. We determine the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and evaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. To date, all marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, if any, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Marketable securities are presented as current assets as we expect to use them within one year in current operations even though some have scheduled maturities of greater than one year. Realized gains and losses are recognized based on the specific identification method. Our investments also include minority equity investments in privately-held companies that are generally carried at cost and included in other assets on the balance sheet.

 

We review our investments on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not each security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. Our policy includes, but is not limited to, reviewing each of the companies’ cash position, earnings/revenue outlook, stock price performance, liquidity and management/ownership. If we believe that an other-than-temporary decline exists, we write down the investment to market value and record the related write-down to other income (expense) in our consolidated statement of operations.

 

Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in the value of our investments exists. Estimating the fair value of non-marketable equity investments in early-stage technology companies is inherently subjective. Changes in our assessment of the valuation of our investments could materially impact our operating results and financial position in future periods if anticipated events and key assumptions do not materialize or change.

Total revenue decreased for the three months ended May 31, 2003 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in total revenue was due primarily to the global economic slowdown and a reduction in information technology spending in general. We recognized $6.1 million and $6.4 million in revenue from Reuters in the second quarters of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Reuters accounted for approximately 10.0% and 9.9% of total revenue for

Total revenue decreased for the six-month period ended May 31, 2003 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in total revenue was due primarily to the global economic slowdown and a reduction in information technology spending in general. We recognized $17.3 million and $13.0 million in revenue from Reuters during the six-month periods ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Reuters accounted for approximately 13.8% and 9.4% of total revenue for the six-month periods ending May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Other than Reuters, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the six-month period ended May 31, 2003.

License revenue decreased for the three and six months ended May 31, 2003 as compared to the same periods of the prior year. This decrease was due primarily to the global economic slowdown and a reduction in information technology spending in general. Many telecommunication customers, in particular, have reduced spending on enterprise wide technology deployments from 2002 levels.

The increase in service and maintenance revenue in absolute dollars for the six months ended May 31, 2003 as compared to the same period of 2002 was primarily due to an increase of approximately 300 new customers. In addition, we continued to focus on renewals of maintenance contracts with our existing customer base. Maintenance revenue increased from $34.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to $41.5 million in the same quarter of 2003. Service revenue decreased from $21.3 million to $17.9 million as the global economic slowdown forced customers to reduce consulting services and employee training.

 

COST OF REVENUE

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries, third party contractors and associated expenses related to providing project integration services, the cost of providing maintenance and customer support services, royalties and product fees. The majority of our cost of revenue is directly related to our service revenue.

The decrease in cost of revenue in absolute dollars for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to the same quarter of 2002 resulted primarily from lower royalties, compensation and travel costs. Related party cost of revenue was $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was a result of royalties due to Reuters in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 for sales in the financial services market, as required by our agreement with Reuters. Compensation expenses decreased by approximately $1.5 million as a result of a reduction in services and customer support staff. A decreased level of travel in addition to renegotiated arrangements with travel providers resulted in a savings of approximately $0.6 million in travel costs.

Research and development expenses remained relatively flat as a percent of total revenue due to 9.9% lower total revenue offsetting the savings on third party contractors.

 

We believe that continued investment in research and development is important to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result, expect that spending on research and development will remain relatively stable for the remainder of fiscal 2003.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs of our direct sales force and marketing staff and the cost of marketing programs, including customer conferences, promotional materials, trade shows and advertising.

We expect that general and administrative expenses will remain relatively stable as a percentage of revenue for the remainder of fiscal 2003.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We recorded a total of $58.4 million in unearned compensation through May 31, 2003, representing the difference between the deemed fair value of our common stock at the date of option grant and the exercise price of such options and in connection with acquisitions. In addition, as of May 31, 2003, we expect to record additional acquisition related compensation expense of up to $0.2 million in connection with additional cash consideration contingent on the vesting and exercise of stock options and restricted stock, which were unvested at the acquisition date. The employer portion of payroll taxes due as a result of employee exercises of nonqualified stock options is included a part of stock-based compensation expense in the period the option is exercised.

 

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to consultants is recognized as earned using the multiple option method, and is shown by expense category. At each reporting date, we re-value the stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As a result, stock-based compensation expense will fluctuate as the fair market value of our common stock fluctuates.

The decrease in stock-based compensation in absolute dollars for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to the same quarter of 2002 is primarily due to a decrease in employee- and acquisition- related stock-based compensation from $0.7 million to $0.3 million. Stock-based compensation related to consultants increased $0.6 million but was offset by $0.6 million decrease in employer-required payroll taxes for nonqualified stock option exercises.

The decrease in stock-based compensation in absolute dollars for the six months ended May 31, 2003 as compared to the same period of 2002 is primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease in employee- and acquisition- related stock-based compensation.

Amortization of Acquired Intangibles

 

Intangible assets are comprised of purchased technology, trademarks and established customer bases, as well as non-compete, maintenance and OEM customer royalty agreements.

The decrease in amortization of acquired intangibles is due to our adoption of SFAS No. 142 on December 1, 2002, which requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but, instead, subject to impairment tests at least annually.

 

Restructuring Charges

 

During fiscal 2002 and 2001, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $70.5 million, consisting of $4.5 million for headcount reductions, $54.3 million for consolidation of facilities, $11.1 million for related write-down of leasehold improvements and $0.6 million of other related restructuring charges. These restructuring charges were recorded to align our cost structure with changing market conditions. We recorded an additional accrual of $7.4 million in fiscal 2002 for the estimated losses on facilities acquired in connection with the acquisition of Talarian as acquisition integration costs. Through fiscal 2002, we made cash payments of $10.4 million associated with abandoned facilities and $4.9 million related to headcount reductions and other charges. We are currently working with corporate real estate brokers to sublease unoccupied facilities.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we recorded a restructuring charge of $1.1 million related to a reduction in headcount to further align our cost structure with changing market conditions. This reduction of approximately 44 employees was comprised of 60% sales and marketing staff, 5% general and administrative staff, and 35% research and development staff.

 

The following sets forth our accrued restructuring costs as of May 31, 2003. Accrued excess facilities costs represent the estimated loss on abandoned facilities, net of sublease income, and are expected to be paid over the next eight years. Accrued severance costs for the four remaining employees are expected to be paid during fiscal 2003.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), net

 

Interest and other income (expense), net, includes interest, realized gains and losses on investments and other miscellaneous income and expense items. We hold minority interests in several companies with complementary technologies or products or companies that provide us with access to additional vertical markets and customers and evaluate the investments for other-than-temporary declines in value on a regular basis.

The increase in interest and other income in absolute dollars for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to the same quarter of 2002 was primarily due to the non-recurring investment impairment charge in 2002 partially offset by lower interest income in 2003. In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment of our investments in the amount of $10.7 million. The global economic slowdown and reduction in technology spending in general during fiscal 2002 had, and continues to have, a negative impact on these development stage companies. No impairment charges were recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Interest income decreased 39.7% from $5.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 to $3.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 due to the decline in interest rates.

The increase in interest and other income in absolute dollars for the six months ended May 31, 2003 as compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to the non-recurring investment impairment charge in 2002 partially offset by lower interest income in 2003. In the first six months of fiscal 2003, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment of our investments in the amount of $0.3 million as compared to $10.7 million during the same period of 2002. The global economic slowdown and reduction in technology spending in general during fiscal 2002 had, and continues to have, a negative impact on these development stage companies. Interest income decreased 40.9% from $12.7 million in the six months ended May 31, 2002 to $7.5 million in the six months ended May 31, 2003 due to the decline in interest rates.

 

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

 

The current estimate of our annual effective tax rate on anticipated operating income for the 2003 tax year is 40%. The estimated annual effective tax rate of 40% has been used to record the provision for income taxes for the six-month period ended May 30, 2003 as compared to an effective tax rate of 10% used to record the provision for income taxes for the comparable period in 2002. The estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, stock-based compensation charges, foreign tax rate differences, R&D tax credits and net operating losses and temporary differences not recognized applicable to the net deferred tax assets. We maintained a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because we expect that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Table of Contents

At May 31, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of $116.3 million, representing an increase of $59.1 million from November 30, 2002.

 

Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended May 31, 2003 was $5.2 million compared to $10.5 million for the comparable period of the prior year. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended May 31, 2003 resulted primarily from net income of $1.1 million that was offset by non-cash charges of $10.0 million and a net decrease in assets and liabilities of $5.9 million. The net decrease in assets and liabilities was principally due to payments for year-end sales commission accruals and rent for abandoned facilities.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2003 was $50.5 million compared to cash used by investing activities of $74.4 million for the same period in 2002. Cash provided by investing activities resulted primarily from the net sales of short-term investments of $51.5 million partially offset by capital expenditures of $1.0 million. Capital expenditures were primarily related to office facilities.

 

Cash flow from financing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2003 of $3.4 million resulted from the exercise of stock options and stock purchases under our Employee Stock Purchase Program.

 

At May 31, 2003 and 2002, we had $646.5 million and $644.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, respectively. We anticipate our operating expenses to remain relatively stable for the foreseeable future and as a result intend to fund our operating expenses through cash flows from operations. We expect to use our cash resources to fund capital expenditures as well as acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product lines. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investments and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

 

As of May 31, 2003, future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases, including $41.7 million provided for as accrued restructuring costs and $5.1 million provided for as acquisition integration liabilities, are as follows (in thousands):

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OPERATING RESULTS

 

The following risk factors could materially and adversely affect our future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements we make about our business.

 

We have a history of losses, we expect future losses, and if we do not achieve and sustain profitability our business will suffer and our stock price may decline

 

We may not be able to achieve revenue or earnings growth or obtain sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability. We incurred net losses of approximately $94.6 million and $13.2 million in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition, we incurred a net loss of $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and net income of $1.1 million for the six months ended May 31, 2003, respectively. As of May 31, 2003, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $168.8 million.

 

We have invested significantly in building our sales and marketing organization and in our technology research and development. We expect to continue to spend financial and other resources on developing and introducing enhancements to our existing and new software products and our direct sales and marketing activities. As a result, we need to generate significant revenue to achieve and maintain profitability. In addition, we believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of our resources to our research and development efforts to maintain our competitive position. However, we do not expect to receive significant revenues from these investment for several years.

 

Our future revenue is unpredictable and we expect our quarterly operating results to fluctuate, which may cause our stock price to decline

 

Period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance. Moreover, our operating results in some quarters have not in the past, and may not in the future, meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors. This has in the past and may in the future cause our stock price to decline. As a result of our limited operating history and the evolving nature of the markets in which we compete, we have difficulty accurately forecasting our revenue in any given period. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this section, a number of factors may cause our revenue to fall short of our expectations or cause fluctuations in our operating results, including:

 

    the announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products or services by our competitors;

 

    the correlation between our sales forecasts and our revenue;

 

    the relatively long sales cycles for many of our products;

 

    the tendency of some of our customers to wait until the end of a fiscal quarter or our fiscal year in the hope of obtaining more favorable terms;

 

    the timing of our new products or product enhancements or any delays in such introductions;

 

    the delay or deferral of customer implementations of our products;

 

    changes in customer budgets and decision making process that could affect both the timing and size of any transaction;

 

    the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our operations;

 

    variations throughout the year due to seasonal factors, which generally result in lower sales activity in our first and third fiscal quarters; and

    changes in local, national and international regulatory requirements.

 

There can be no assurance that our current customers will continue to purchase our products in the future

 

We do not have long-term contracts with any of our customers, except for our license and distribution relationship with Reuters described below. There can be no assurance that any of our customers will continue to purchase our products in the future. As a result, a customer that generates substantial revenue for us in one period may not be a source of revenue in subsequent periods. Sales to Reuters, a related party, accounted for 10.0% of our total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and 13.8% of total revenue for the six month period ended May 31, 2003.

 

We are exposed to the credit risk of some of our customers and to credit exposures in weakened markets

 

Most of our licenses are on an “open credit” basis, with payment terms of 30 days typically in the United States, and, because of local customs or conditions, longer in some markets outside the United States. We monitor individual customer payment capability in granting such open credit arrangements, seek to limit such open credit to amounts we believe the customers can pay, and maintain reserves we believe are adequate to cover exposure for doubtful accounts.

 

Because of the current slowdown in the global economy however, our exposure to credit risks has increased. Although we have programs in place to monitor and mitigate the associated risk, including monitoring of particular risks in certain geographic areas, there can be no assurance that such programs will be effective in reducing our credit risks. There can be no assurance that, should economic conditions not improve, additional losses would not be incurred, and that such losses would not be material or exceed our reserves. Although these losses have not been material to date, future losses, if incurred, could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Our licensing and distribution relationship with Reuters places limitations on our ability to conduct our business

 

Our predecessor company was acquired by Reuters in 1994. In January 1997, Reuters established us as a separate entity, transferred to us certain assets and liabilities related to our business and granted to us a royalty-free license to intellectual property that is still incorporated into some of our software products. Reuters continues to hold approximately 49.1% of our stock and has the right to nominate one third of our directors, and accordingly is able to exert significant influence over our business. We have a significant relationship with Reuters for licensing and distribution. Our relationship with Reuters involves limitations and restrictions on our business, as well as other risks described below.

 

We license from Reuters the underlying TIB messaging technology that existed as of December 31, 1996 (“Licensed TIB Technology”), from which some of our important TIBCO ActiveEnterprise messaging products originated. We do not own Licensed TIB Technology. Because Reuters has access to the intellectual property used in our products, it could use this intellectual property to compete with us. Reuters is not restricted from using the Licensed TIB Technology to produce products that compete with our products, and it can grant limited licenses to the Licensed TIB Technology to others who may compete with us. In addition, we must license to Reuters all of the intellectual property and products we create through December 2011. This will place Reuters in a position to more easily develop products that compete with ours.

 

Under our agreements with Reuters, we are generally prohibited, through May 28, 2004, from selling our products and providing consulting services directly to companies in the financial services market. We are also prohibited from directly licensing products containing the Licensed TIB Technology to financial services customers and major competitors of Reuters, and from using the Licensed TIB Technology to develop products specifically for use by financial services companies. Accordingly, through May 28, 2004, we must rely on Reuters and, to a lesser extent, other third-party resellers and distributors to sell our products to these companies. After May 28, 2004, we may, unless we otherwise agree with Reuters be able to license our products (except for those, if any, that still include the Licensed TIB Technology) and provide consulting services directly to companies in the financial services market. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in licensing our products or providing consulting services directly to companies in the financial services market. A failure in this respect could harm our business and our operating results may suffer.

Table of Contents

Under the license, maintenance and distribution agreement, Reuters is required to pay us a minimum guaranteed distribution fee in the amount of $20 million per calendar year through December 2003. If actual distribution fees due from Reuters, as a result of their sales of our products in the financial services market, exceed the cumulative minimum year-to-date guarantee, incremental fees are due. These product fees may be materially less than the product fees we could obtain from other distributors or resellers in the financial services market. In addition, when we sell our products into the financial services market other than through Reuters, we are required to pay fees to Reuters, which we record as related party royalty expense.

 

Neither Reuters nor any third-party reseller or distributor has any contractual obligation to distribute our products to financial services customers. Reuters and other distributors may not be successful in selling our products into the financial services market, or they may elect to sell competitive third-party products into that market, either of which may adversely affect our revenue in that market.

 

In addition, if Reuters declines to continue the minimum guaranteed distribution fee at the end of December 2003, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in generating enough revenue to replace the minimum guaranteed fee, which would adversely affect our business and operating results

 

Our license agreement with Reuters imposes also practical restrictions on our ability to acquire other companies. The license agreement places no specific restrictions on our ability to acquire companies with all or part of their business in the financial services market and to continue such business. However, under the terms of the license agreement, we are prohibited from bundling or combining our products that are based on the Licensed TIB Technology with an acquired company’s products and services and then selling the bundled or combined products directly to financial services companies. This prohibition could prevent us from realizing potential synergies with companies we acquire.

 

The market for infrastructure software may not grow as quickly as we anticipate, which would cause our revenues to fall below expectations

 

The market for infrastructure software is relatively new and evolving. We earn a substantial portion of our revenue from sales of our infrastructure software, including application integration software, and related services. We expect to earn substantially all of our revenue in the foreseeable future from sales of these products and services. Our future financial performance will depend on continued growth in the number of organizations demanding software and services for application integration and information delivery and seeking outside vendors to develop, manage and maintain this software for their critical applications. A weakening United States and global economy, which has had a disproportionate impact on information technology spending by businesses, has led to a reduction in sales over the past several quarters and may continue to do so in the future. Many of our potential customers have made significant investments in internally developed systems and would incur significant costs in switching to third-party products, which may substantially inhibit the growth of the market for infrastructure software. If the market fails to grow, or grows more slowly than we expect, our sales will be adversely affected.

 

Our acquisition strategy could cause financial or operational problems

 

Our success depends on our ability to continually enhance and broaden our product offerings in response to changing technologies, customer demands, and competitive pressures. To this end, we may acquire new and complementary businesses, products or technologies. We do not know if we will be able to complete any acquisitions or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business, operate them profitably, or retain their key employees. Integrating any newly acquired business, product or technology could be expensive and time-consuming, could disrupt our ongoing business, and could distract our management. We may face competition for acquisition targets from larger and more established companies with greater financial resources. In addition, in order to finance any acquisition, we might need to raise additional funds through public or private financings. In that event, we could be forced to obtain equity or debt financing on terms that are not favorable to us and, in the case of equity financing, that results in dilution to our stockholders. If we are unable to integrate any newly acquired entity, products or technology effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results would suffer. In addition, any amortization or

 

32


Table of Contents

impairment of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation or other charges resulting from the costs of acquisitions could harm our operating results.

 

Our stock price may be volatile, which could cause investors to lose all or part of their investments in our stock

 

The stock market in general, and the stock prices of technology companies in particular, have experienced volatility which has often been unrelated to the operating performance of any particular company or companies. During fiscal 2002, for example, our stock price fluctuated between a high of $16.90 and a low of $3.28. If market or industry-based fluctuation continue, our stock price could decline in the future regardless of our actual operating performance and investors could lose all or part of their investments.

 

The volatile nature of our operations could strain our resources and cause our business to suffer

 

Our ability to successfully offer products and services and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning and management process. We have increased the scope of our operations both domestically and internationally. We must successfully integrate new employees into our operations and generate sufficient revenues to justify the costs associated with these employees. If we fail to successfully integrate employees or to generate the revenue necessary to offset employee-related expenses, we may be forced to reduce our headcount, which would force us to incur significant expenses and would harm our business and operating results. For example, in response to changing market conditions, in fiscal 2001 and 2002, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $70.5 million, including $66.0 million related to abandoned facilities and $4.5 million related to a reduction of our headcount by approximately 235 employees. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we recorded an additional restructuring charge of $1.1 million related to a reduction of our headcount by approximately 44 employees. Our growth has placed and will continue to place a significant strain on our management systems, infrastructure and resources. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures. We will also need to continue to train and manage our workforce worldwide. Furthermore, we expect that we will be required to manage an increasing number of relationships with various customers and other third parties. Failure to expand or control costs in any of the foregoing areas efficiently and effectively could interfere with the growth of our business as a whole.

 

Pending litigation could harm our business

 

We, certain of our directors and officers and certain investment bank underwriters have been named in a putative class action for violation of the federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned In re TIBCO Software, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 01 Civ. 6110 (SAS). This is one of the number of cases challenging underwriting practices in the initial public offerings (“IPOs”) of more than 300 companies. These cases have been coordinated for pretrial proceedings as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS). Plaintiffs generally allege that certain underwriters engaged in undisclosed and improper underwriting activities, namely the receipt of excessive brokerage commissions and customer agreements regarding post-offering purchases of stock in exchange for allocations of IPO shares. Plaintiffs also allege that various investment bank securities analysts issued false and misleading analyst reports. The complaint against us claims that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statements for our IPO and secondary public offering and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased our securities or sold put options during the time period from July 13, 1999 to December 6, 2000. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an Opinion and Order denying the motion to dismiss certain of the claims in the complaint. We have engaged in discussions with the plaintiffs regarding a proposed settlement of the claims. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the allegations in the complaint and intend to defend the case vigorously.

 

A lawsuit with similar allegations of undisclosed improper underwriting practices, and part of the same coordinated proceedings, is pending against Talarian Corporation (“Talarian”), which the Company acquired in 2002. That action is captioned In re Talarian Corp. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 01 Civ. 7474 (SAS). The complaint against Talarian, certain of its underwriters, and certain of its former directors and officers claims that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statement for Talarian’s IPO and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased Talarian securities during the time period from July 20, 2000 to December 6, 2000. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an Opinion and Order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss certain of the claims in the complaint. We have engaged in discussions with the plaintiffs regarding a proposed settlement of the claims. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the remaining claims against Talarian and intend to defend against those claims vigorously.

 

33


Table of Contents

The remaining complaints do not specify the amount of damages that the plaintiffs seek, and as a result, we are unable to estimate the possible range of damages that might be incurred as a result of the lawsuits. We have not accrued any amounts relating to potential damages associated with the lawsuits. The uncertainty associated with a substantial unresolved lawsuit could harm our business, financial condition and reputation. The defense of the lawsuits could result in the diversion of our management’s time and attention away from business operations, which could harm our business. Negative developments with respect to the lawsuits could cause our stock price to decline. In addition, although we are unable to determine the amount, if any, that we may be required to pay in connection with the resolution of the lawsuits by settlement or otherwise, such a payment could seriously harm our financial condition and liquidity.

 

If we do not retain our key management personnel and attract and retain other highly skilled employees, our business will suffer

 

If we fail to retain and recruit the necessary personnel, our business and our ability to obtain new customers, develop new products and provide acceptable levels of customer service could suffer. The success of our business is heavily dependent on the leadership of our key management personnel, including Vivek Ranadive, our President and Chief Executive Officer. All of our executive officers and key personnel are employees at-will. If any of these people were to leave us it would be difficult to replace them and our business would be harmed. In addition, provisions of the recently enacted Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules proposed by the SEC and NASDAQ impose heightened personal liability on some of our key management personnel. The threat of such liability could potentially divert the attention of such personnel away from their normal management duties.

 

Our success also depends on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate highly skilled sales, marketing and engineering personnel. Competition for these people in the software industries is intense, and we may not be able to successfully recruit, train or retain qualified personnel. In addition, we have experienced turnover in our marketing and sales management. Although we have recruited a new marketing manager, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our retention and training efforts.

 

Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may cause us to incur unexpected costs or prevent us from selling our products

 

We cannot be certain that our products do not infringe issued patents or other intellectual property rights of others. Because patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, applications relating to our software products may have been filed without our knowledge. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time, including claims of alleged infringement of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties by us or our licensees in connection with their use of our products. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming, and could divert our management’s attention away from running our business and could seriously harm our business. If we were to discover that our products violated the intellectual property rights of others, we would have to obtain licenses from these parties in order to continue marketing our products without substantial reengineering. We might not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or at all, and if we could not obtain such licenses, we might not be able to reengineer our products successfully or in a timely fashion. If we fail to address any infringement issues successfully, we will be forced to incur significant costs including, damages and satisfying indemnification obligations that we have with our customers, and could be prevented from selling our products.

 

Our intellectual property or proprietary rights could be misappropriated, which could force us to become involved in expensive and time-consuming litigation

 

We regard our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets, licensed patents and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. Any misappropriation of our proprietary information by third parties could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. In addition, the laws of some countries do not provide the same level of protection of our proprietary information as do the laws of the United States. If our proprietary information were misappropriated, we might have to engage in litigation to protect it. We might not succeed in protecting our proprietary information by initiating intellectual property litigation, and in any invent such litigation is expensive and time-consuming, and could divert our management’s attention away from running our business and could seriously harm our business.

We must overcome significant competition in order to succeed

 

The market for our products and services is extremely competitive and subject to rapid change. We compete with various providers of enterprise application integration solutions, including webMethods and SeeBeyond. We also compete with various providers of webservices such as Microsoft, BEA and IBM. We believe that of these companies, IBM has the potential to offer the most complete set of products for enterprise application integration. We also face competition for certain aspects of our product and service offerings from major systems integrators. We expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger customer bases than we do. Our present or future competitors may be able to develop products comparable or superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies, evolving industry trends or customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets or competition may intensify and harm our business and operating results. If we are not successful in developing enhancements to existing products and new products in a timely manner, achieving customer acceptance or generating higher average selling prices, our gross margins may decline, and our business and operating results may suffer.

 

Market acceptance of new platforms and web services standards may require us to undergo the expense of developing and maintaining compatible product lines

 

Our software products can be licensed for use with a variety of platforms. There may be future or existing platforms that achieve popularity in the marketplace which may or may not be architecturally compatible with our software products. In addition, the effort and expense of developing, testing and maintaining software products will increase as more platforms achieve market acceptance within our target markets. Moreover, future or existing user interfaces that achieve popularity within the enterprise application integration marketplace may or may not be compatible with our current software products. If we are unable to achieve market acceptance of our software products or adapt to new platforms, our sales and revenues will be adversely affected.

 

Developing and maintaining different software products could place a significant strain on our resources and software product release schedules, which could adversely affect our revenue and financial condition. If we are not able to develop software for accepted platforms or fail to adopt webservice standards, our license and service revenues and our gross margins could be adversely affected. In addition, if the platforms we have developed software for are not accepted, our license and service revenues and our gross margins could be adversely affected.

 

Recently enacted and proposed regulatory changes may cause us to incur increased costs

 

Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules proposed by the SEC and NASDAQ could cause us to incur increased costs as we evaluate the implications of new rules and responds to new requirements. The new rules could make it more difficult for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, or as executive officers. We are presently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new and proposed rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

If we account for employee stock option and employee stock purchase plans using the fair value method, it could significantly reduce our net income and earnings per share

 

There has been ongoing public debate whether employee stock option and employee stock purchase plans shares should be treated as a compensation expense and, if so, how to properly value such charges. If we elected or were required to record an expense for out stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method, we could have significant accounting charges. For example in fiscal year 2002, had we accounted for stock-based compensation plans under SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, annual earnings per share would have been reduced by $0.53 per

share. Although we are not currently required to record any compensation expense using the fair value method in connection with option grants that have an exercise price at or above fair market value and for shares issued under our employee stock purchase plan, it is possible that future laws or regulations will require us to treat all stock-based compensation as a compensation expense using the fair value method. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and our discussion in the Amortization of Stock-based Compensation section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a more detailed presentation of accounting for stock-based compensation plans.

 

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We invest in marketable securities in accordance with our investment policy. The primary objectives of our investment policy are to preserve principal, to maintain proper liquidity to meet operating needs and maximize yields. Our investment policy specifies credit quality standards for our investments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any single issue, issuer or type of investment. The maximum allowable duration of a single issue is 2.5 years and the maximum allowable duration of the portfolio is 1.3 years.

 

At May 31, 2003, we had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities totaling $530.0 million, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents and restricted funds. Our investments consist primarily of bank and finance notes, various government obligations and asset-backed securities. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Unrealized losses are charged against income when a decline in fair market value is determined to be other than temporary. The specific identification method is used to determine the cost of securities sold.

 

The investment portfolio is subject to interest rate risk and its value will fall in the event market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 100 basis points (approximately 69.8% of current rates in the portfolio) from levels as of May 31, 2003, the fair market value of the portfolio would decline by approximately $5.5 million.

 

We develop products in the United States and sell in North America, South America, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. A majority of sales are currently made in U.S. dollars; however, a strengthening of the dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign markets. We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) to manage exposure related to accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $3.2 million at May 31, 2003. These open contracts mature at various dates through September 2003 and are economic hedges of certain foreign currency transaction exposures in the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen and Danish Krone. The fair value of these forward contracts at May 31, 2003 was not significant.

 

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, we undertook an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation and related improvements to our system of disclosure controls and procedures, we have concluded that we have in place disclosure controls and procedures necessary to insure that material information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others in our company, particularly with respect to the period covered by this report. Subsequent to the date of this evaluation there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We, certain of our directors and officers and certain investment bank underwriters have been named in a putative class action for violation of the federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned In re TIBCO Software, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 01 Civ. 6110 (SAS). This is one of the number of cases challenging underwriting practices in the initial public offerings (“IPOs”) of more than 300 companies. These cases have been coordinated for pretrial proceedings as In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS). Plaintiffs generally allege that certain underwriters engaged in undisclosed and improper underwriting activities, namely the receipt of excessive brokerage commissions and customer agreements regarding post-offering purchases of stock in exchange for allocations of IPO shares. Plaintiffs also allege that various investment bank securities analysts issued false and misleading analyst reports. The complaint against us claims that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statements for our IPO and secondary public offering and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased our securities or sold put options during the time period from July 13, 1999 to December 6, 2000. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an Opinion and Order denying the motion to dismiss certain of the claims in the complaint. We have engaged in discussions with the plaintiffs regarding a proposed settlement of the claims. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the allegations in the complaint and intend to defend the case vigorously.

 

A lawsuit with similar allegations of undisclosed improper underwriting practices, and part of the same coordinated proceedings, is pending against Talarian Corporation (“Talarian”), which the Company acquired in 2002. That action is captioned In re Talarian Corp. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 01 Civ. 7474 (SAS). The complaint against Talarian, certain of its underwriters, and certain of its former directors and officers claims that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statement for Talarian’s IPO and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased Talarian securities during the time period from July 20, 2000 to December 6, 2000. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an Opinion and Order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss certain of the claims in the complaint. We have engaged in discussions with the plaintiffs regarding a proposed settlement of the claims. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the remaining claims against Talarian and intend to defend against those claims vigorously.
