RADNOR, Pennsylvania – April 26, 2012 — Qlik Technologies Inc. (“QlikTech”) (Nasdaq: QLIK), a leader in Business Discovery — user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Lars Björk, Chief Executive Officer of QlikTech, stated, “This was a strong start to the year for QlikTech with revenue increasing 26% for the first quarter. QlikView is quickly becoming the product of choice as organizations realize they need to provide their business users with tools that drive real value. We are seeing the use cases of QlikView expand, enabling us to support as many as tens of thousands of users across an organization.” Björk added, “We were also pleased with our ability to manage operating expenses while still delivering significant revenue growth and investing for the future.”

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2012

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $79.2 million, an increase of 26% from $63.0 million in the first quarter of 2011. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from the prior period had a negative impact of approximately 3% on reported revenue for the quarter. License revenue was $46.3 million, an increase of 22% from $37.9 million in the first quarter of 2011. Maintenance revenue was $26.5 million, an increase of 36% from $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. Professional services revenue was $6.4 million, an increase of 11% from $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2011.

GAAP operating loss for the first quarter of 2012 was ($7.8) million, compared to GAAP operating loss of ($5.0) million for the first quarter of 2011. GAAP net loss was ($7.5) million, or ($0.09) per basic and diluted common share, compared to a GAAP net loss of ($5.1) million or ($0.06) per basic and diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP operating loss, which excludes stock-based compensation and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions, was ($2.3) million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of ($2.5) million for the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net loss, which also assumes a 32% estimated long-term effective tax rate, was ($2.5) million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to non-GAAP net loss of ($2.7) million for the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted common share for the first quarter of 2012 was ($0.03), compared to non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted common share of ($0.03) for the first quarter of 2011.

GAAP and non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2012 include a $1.4 million foreign exchange loss, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $1.5 million in the prior year period.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of April 26, 2012, QlikTech is issuing guidance for the second quarter and full year 2012 as follows:

Second Quarter 2012: The company expects total revenue for the second quarter to be in the range of $91.0 million to $96.0 million, non-GAAP operating income to be in the range of $2.0 million to $4.0 million and non-GAAP net income per diluted common share to be in the range of $0.01 to $0.03. QlikTech’s expectations of non-GAAP net income per diluted common share for the second quarter exclude stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions and assume an estimated long-term effective tax rate of 32% and weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 89 million.


Full Year 2012: The company is increasing its guidance and now expects 2012 total revenue to be in the range of $408.0 million to $418.0 million, non-GAAP operating income to be in the range of $55.0 million to $60.0 million and non-GAAP net income per diluted common share to be in the range of $0.41 to $0.45. QlikTech’s expectations of non-GAAP net income per diluted common share for the full year exclude stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions and assume an estimated long-term effective tax rate of 32% and weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 89 million.

QlikTech’s expectations of total revenue, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP income per diluted common share for the second quarter and full year 2012 assume that foreign currency exchange rates for the second quarter and full year 2012 will approximate current exchange rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, QlikTech uses measures of non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share and constant currency. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP financial measure, is presented in the financial tables below under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP.” QlikTech believes that the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release can assist investors in understanding and assessing QlikTech’s on-going core operations and prospects for the future and provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing QlikTech’s financial results with other companies in QlikTech’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.


For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, non-GAAP operating loss is determined by taking loss from operations and adding back non-cash stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions. Non-GAAP net loss is determined by taking pretax loss and adding back non-cash stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes on stock transactions, and the result is tax affected at an estimated long-term effective tax rate of 32%. QlikTech believes these adjustments provide useful information to both management and investors due to the following factors:

 

   

Stock-based compensation. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of QlikTech’s employees and executives, determining the fair value of the stock-based instruments involves a high degree of judgment and estimation and the expense recorded may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the future exercise or termination of the related stock-based awards. Furthermore, unlike cash compensation, the value of stock-based compensation is determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond QlikTech’s control. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of QlikTech’s core business and to facilitate comparison of its results to those of peer companies.

 

   

Employer payroll taxes on stock transactions. The amount of employer payroll taxes on stock transactions is dependent on QlikTech’s stock price and other factors that are beyond QlikTech’s control and do not correlate to the operation of its business.

To determine the impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from prior year periods on current period revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, revenue from entities reporting in foreign currencies was translated into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year period’s foreign currency exchange rates.

This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures under the heading “Business Outlook”. These non-GAAP financial measures were determined by excluding stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes related to stock transactions and assuming an estimated long-term tax rate of 32%. We are unable to reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to GAAP because it is difficult to predict the future impact of these adjustments. In addition, these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures assume that foreign currency exchange rates for the second quarter and full year 2012 will approximate current foreign currency exchange rates.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in QlikTech’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management of QlikTech presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our historic non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided below.
