Fiscal 2012 Guidance

 

 

For fiscal 2012, eGain expects a year-over-year increase in new hosting and license bookings of between 40% and 50%

 

 

For fiscal 2012, eGain expects a year-over-year increase in total revenue of between 22% and 27%

 

 

For fiscal 2012, eGain expects to be profitable on an operating basis, however the planned increase in sales and marketing investment is expected to have the short term impact of depressing operating margins when compared to fiscal 2011

 

¹ We define New Hosting and License Bookings as new contractual commitments (excluding renewals) received by the company for the purchase of product licenses and hosting services. Such contracts are not cancelable for convenience but may be subject to termination by our customers for cause or breach of contract by us. Furthermore, because we offer a hybrid delivery model, the mix of new license and hosting business in a quarter could also have an impact on our revenue in a particular quarter. Due to effects that these trends have on our short-term revenue and profitability, we believe that it is useful to disclose New Hosting and License Bookings detail in this and future financial releases. We use this metric internally to focus management on the productivity of the sales team and period-to-period changes in our core business. Therefore, we believe that this information is meaningful and helpful in allowing individuals to better assess the ongoing nature of our core operations.
