Wave Q2 Software Licensing Net Revenues Rose 31% to Record $8.1M
Total Billings Rose 48% to $9.4M vs. Q2 10; Cash Increased over 200% to $10.9M versus Year-end 2010 -
Lee, MA August 9, 2011Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX), a leading provider of trusted computing software, today reported financial results for its second quarter (Q2) and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Waves Q2 11 total net revenues rose 26% to $8.1 million compared to $6.4 million in Q2 10, and rose 8% over Q1 11 total net revenues of $7.5 million. This increase in total net revenue was primarily the result of a more than $2 million year-over-year increase in enterprise server software licensing revenues which more than offset a $0.2 million decrease in services revenue related to a U.S. Department of Defense contract that was completed in Q1 2011. Waves licensing net revenues grew 31% in Q2 11 versus Q2 10 and increased 11% over Q1 11. Q2 11 licensing net revenues included approximately $435,000 of enterprise server licensing revenue as a result of Wave achieving vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) in Q1 11 for the fair value of the maintenance component of Waves software license agreements within its small customer class (orders of less than 5,000 licenses). Having achieved VSOE for its small customer enterprise orders, Wave was able to record as earned licensing revenue the full value of the license component of such contracts during the quarter in which the orders were fulfilled. For its large customer class (orders of 5,000 or more licenses) where VSOE has not yet been achieved, Wave continues to recognize the total billed for these license agreements as earned revenue ratably over their maintenance term which is typically twelve months.
Principally reflecting a $3.5 million enterprise order with BASF SE fulfilled on May 3, 2011, Q2 11 total billings rose 48% to $9.4 million as compared to $6.3 million in Q2 10, and rose 68% over Q1 11 total billings of $5.6 million. The BASF order is a large class order and, as a result, Wave is recording the $2.8 million of licensing sales and initial maintenance for the period ended December 31, 2011 as earned revenue ratably in Q2 and over the remainder of 2011. The contract balance of approximately $700,000 is for the 2012 maintenance term and will be recognized ratably during 2012. BASF may cancel the 2012 maintenance renewal at any time prior to December 1, 2011. Total net revenues are reconciled to total billings below.
During Q2 11 Wave continued to invest aggressively in both sales and marketing and R&D initiatives aimed at expanding Waves sales pipeline and product portfolios while continuing to promote global awareness of the benefits of trusted computing solutions. In aggregate, SG&A and R&D expenses rose by approximately $0.4 million or 4% over Q1 11 levels and by approximately $2.8 million or 41% over Q2 10. Wave has steadily increased its investment over the past three quarters in additional sales, marketing and engineering personnel and resources to support continued development of OEM engagements with Wave solutions, increased direct-sales activity with enterprise and government prospects and expanded development focused on new product features.
As a result of increased personnel and higher fair value calculations for stock options awarded primarily during Q1 11, Waves non-cash stock-based compensation expense increased 77% to $1.4 million in Q2 11 as compared to $0.8 million in Q2 10 and increased 16% as compared to $1.2 million in Q1 11. Wave views stock-based compensation as an important component of its employee recruitment and retention strategies.
Reflecting higher revenues and a modest currency translation gain on a large enterprise order, offset by an increase in operating expenses, Wave recorded a Q2 11 net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared with a Q2 10 net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share. Waves Q1 11 net loss was $2.3 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share. Per-share figures are based
on a weighted average number of basic shares outstanding during Q2 11 and Q2 10 of 83.0 million and 80.3 million, respectively, and 82.2 million in Q1 11.
Wave recorded negative EBITDAS of $0.3 million in Q2 11 compared to negative EBITDAS of $0.1 million in Q2 10 and negative EBITDAS of $0.9 million in Q1 11. Wave reports EBITDAS, a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense, in order to highlight its operational performance on a cash-flow basis. A reconciliation of net loss to EBITDAS is below.
Waves cash position showed further improvement in Q2 11 principally due to the receipt of $3.8 million (adjusted for currency translation) for an enterprise order. As of June 30, 2011, Waves cash and cash equivalents rose to $10.9 million as compared to $9.7 million at March 31, 2011 and $3.6 million at December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, Waves total current assets were $14.8 million and total current liabilities including $7.8 million of deferred revenue were $11.6 million.
Throughout Q2, there were a number of high-profile network and data breaches on the global stage. The most significant of these being the compromise of a leading security token solution relied upon by a large number of Fortune 500 enterprises, commented Steven Sprague. As these kinds of events continue to occur and receive broad media attention, we have seen an increase in interest and activity in trusted computing solutions.
On the financial side, Im pleased to report that we once again extended our track record of year-over-year and sequential quarterly growth in the second quarter. Given the new global focus on cyber security and related concerns over the efficacy of proprietary, software-only solutions, weve chosen to expand our investments in maintaining our leadership position in the trusted computing space at a time when we believe that many governments and enterprises are re-examining their network and data security protocols. We believe that there will continue to be receptivity to new approaches to security, such as those offered by Wave.
But there remains much work to be done in communicating the security and ROI benefits of off the shelf trusted computing solutions. We are deploying substantial resources in sales and marketing to help promote this message internationally, with a particular focus on North America and on expanding our presence in the EMEA regions. In addition, Wave will participate in the 2nd Annual NSA Trusted Computing Conference and Exposition September 20-22 in Orlando, FL, a forum sponsored by the NSA to educate public and private sector IT professionals on trusted computing solutions and how they are being used with success.
Summary of Recent Progress/Developments:
· BASF Selects Wave in $3.5 Million Agreement to Protect Sensitive Data on Corporate Laptops (April 2011)
· Wave Releases EMBASSY® Protector. Designed to stop information leakage through endpoints and removable media, this addition to the EMBASSY line monitors real-time traffic and applies customized, granular security policies over all physical, wireless, and storage interfaces
· Northern Health and Social Care Trust of Northern Ireland selected self-encrypting drives (SEDs) managed by Wave to protect personal health information on laptops. Northern Trust cited lower upfront costs, faster deployment time and lower total cost of ownership in their selection. (May 2011).
· Wave Issues Guidance for Organizations Concerned with the Vulnerability of Authentication Tokens. Wave highlighted how incorporating device identity in addition to user identitycan serve as a second layer of defense against cyber-attack. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM), with the ability to create, sign and store keys, is uniquely suited for this function. (June 2011)
About Wave Systems
Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX) reduces the complexity, cost and uncertainty of data protection by starting inside the device. Unlike other vendors who try to secure information by adding layers of software for security, Wave leverages the security capabilities built directly into endpoint computing platforms themselves. Wave has been a leading expert in this growing trend, leading the way with first-to-market solutions and helping shape standards through its work as a board member for the Trusted Computing Group.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
As supplemental information, we provide the non-GAAP performance measures that we refer to as total billings and EBITDAS. Total billings is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP total net revenues. Total billings means the sum of total net revenues determined in accordance with GAAP, plus the increase or minus the decrease in deferred revenue. We consider total billings an important measure of our financial performance, as we believe it best represents the continued increase in our software license upgrades. Total billings is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and, as calculated by us, may not be consistent with computations of total billings by other companies. EBITDAS is defined as net income (loss) before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. EBITDAS should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (all as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position and cash flows, as EBITDAS is not defined by GAAP. However, we regard EBITDAS as a complement to net income (loss) and other GAAP financial performance measures, including an indirect measure of operating cash flow.
