Guidance:

SuccessFactors is initiating guidance for its second quarter fiscal 2011 and updating its outlook for the full fiscal year 2011, as of April 26, 2011.

 

 

Q2 FY11: Non-GAAP revenue for the company’s second fiscal quarter is projected to be in the range of approximately $69.0 million to $70.0 million. Note that non-GAAP revenue includes the effect of deferred revenue from acquired companies that is required to be written down for GAAP purposes under purchase accounting rules. Non-GAAP net income per common share, basic and diluted, is expected to be breakeven. This guidance does not take into account the proposed acquisition of Plateau Systems Ltd. Non-GAAP net income per common share estimates exclude the effects of estimated stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, future cash consideration of acquisitions, deal related costs and revaluation of contingent consideration related to business combinations and any unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses on an intercompany acquisition loan and assumes average weighted basic and diluted share counts of approximately 78.6 million shares and 85.4 million shares, respectively.


 

Full Year 2011: Non-GAAP revenue for the company’s full fiscal 2011 is now expected to be in the approximate range of $275 million to $280 million, which is an increase of approximately 30 percent when compared to fiscal 2010. The company expects non-GAAP net income per common share for fiscal 2011 to be approximately breakeven. This guidance does not take into account the proposed acquisition of Plateau Systems Ltd. Non-GAAP net income per common share estimates exclude the effects of estimated stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, future cash consideration of acquisitions, deal related costs and revaluation of contingent consideration related to business combinations and any unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses on an intercompany acquisition loan and assumes average weighted basic and diluted share counts of approximately 79.3 million shares and 85.7 million shares, respectively.

Q1 FY11 Financial Results Conference Call:

SuccessFactors will host a conference call today at 2:00 p.m. (PT) / 5:00 p.m. (ET) to discuss the first quarter and fiscal 2011 financial results with the investment community.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

SuccessFactors provides quarterly and annual financial statements that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To help understand SuccessFactors’ past financial performance and future results, SuccessFactors has supplemented its financial results that it provides in accordance with GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. The method SuccessFactors uses to produce non-GAAP financial results is not computed according to GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures used by SuccessFactors in this press release exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangible assets, integration costs, future cash consideration and any revaluation of contingent consideration or write-downs for fair value accounting related to business combinations, any unrealized foreign exchange gain/loss on an intercompany loan related to the acquisition of Inform, and a tax benefit related to the acquisition of Jambok. The company defines billings as revenue plus change in total deferred revenue. Non-GAAP revenue includes revenue from acquired companies that is required to be written down for GAAP purposes under purchase accounting rules.
