Fourth quarter revenue was $17.0 million, an increase of 8 percent from the prior year. Fourth quarter subscription and services revenue was $15.0 million, up 6 percent and usage revenue was $2.0 million, up 22 percent from the same period last year.

GAAP net income was $0.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.6 million for the same period last year. GAAP net income per weighted average diluted share was zero for the fourth quarter of 2010, based on 19.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to a net loss per weighted average diluted share of $0.21 for the same period last year, based on 7.3 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Full year 2010 GAAP net income was $3.5 million, up $5.6 million from 2009. GAAP net income per weighted average diluted share for the full year 2010 was $0.20, based on 17.5 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to net loss per weighted average diluted share of $0.29 for 2009, based on 7.3 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP net income was $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $0.1 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income per weighted average diluted shares outstanding was $0.04 for the fourth quarter of 2010, based on 19.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding compared to a non-GAAP net income per weighted average share of $0.01 for the same period last year, based on 13.9 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

For the full year 2010, non-GAAP net income per weighted average diluted share outstanding was $0.38 based on 17.5 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to non-GAAP net income per weighted average share of $0.26 for 2009, based on 13.8 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $1.3 million. For the full year, adjusted EBITDA totaled $9.2 million, an increase of $2.6 million or 40 percent from 2009. Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities finished the year at approximately $56.5 million.

Full Year 2011 Guidance

As of February 3, 2011 the company is providing guidance for full year 2011 revenue of approximately $77.5 million to $79.5 million, or approximately 11 to 14 percent annual growth from full year 2010. The company expects 2011 non-GAAP net income per weighted average diluted share to be approximately $0.38 to $0.41, assuming an average weighted diluted share count of approximately 20.1 million shares.


“We are optimistic about our business momentum in 2011, and believe our quarterly year-over-year growth rates will be significantly higher in the second half of 2011 compared to recent quarters,” concluded Austin.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are useful measures of operating performance because they exclude items that we do not consider indicative of our core performance. In the case of adjusted EBITDA, we adjust net income for such things as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and certain non-cash or non-recurring items. Non-GAAP net income adds to net income (loss) amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and certain non-cash or non-recurring items such as transaction costs. However, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income and net income, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation to the GAAP equivalents of these non-GAAP measures is contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our management uses adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income as measures of operating performance; to prepare our annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of our results with those of other companies; and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance.

Examples of these statements include our positioning in the marketplace, our leveraging of Common Ground and other products and services, our execution of our strategy and our full-year 2011 financial guidance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, future circumstances might differ from the assumptions on which forward-looking statements are based. In addition, these statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions and the impact of a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in this press release including, among others: unfavorable economic and business conditions, in particular with respect to the nonprofit market in which we operate; our ability to attract new customers; a loss of significant customers or a substantial reduction in the revenue from our existing customers; a reduction in usage of our systems by our customers or their constituents and a corresponding reduction in usage revenue; an inability of customers to pay for our solutions and services; an inability to develop new or enhanced solutions that meet the needs of our clients; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products; risks related to acquisition activity and the integration of acquired businesses and assets within our organization and product and service offering, and risks related to attracting and retaining key personnel. Other risks that could impact our business adversely are those risks generally associated with management of growth; lengthy sales and implementation cycles; intellectual property infringement claims and other litigation; reliance on certain third-parties, including hosting facilities, software and application providers; the ability to access sufficient funding to finance desired growth and operations; and legislative actions which could reduce the effectiveness of our solutions and increase the costs of our business. These factors and other risks and uncertainties are described in more detail, from time to time, in Convio’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which are available free of charge at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.convio.com/investor.
