FalconStor Software Reports First Quarter Financial Results

MELVILLE, N.Y., May 3, 2012—FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), the provider of disk-based data protection solutions, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2012 increased by over 2% to $19.4 million, compared with $19.0 million in the same period a year ago.  GAAP loss from operations for the first quarter of 2012 was $2.1 million, compared with loss from operations of $5.7 million for the same period a year ago. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $2.4 million, or $0.05 per share compared with a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.13 per share for the same period a year ago. Included in the operating results for the first quarter of 2012 was a net reduction of the costs associated with the ongoing government investigations of $1.3 million. The $1.3 million was comprised of a $1.7 million reduction in the accrual for certain costs associated with the possible resolution of the investigations from $7.5 million to $5.8 million, less $0.4 million in legal fees associated with the investigations in the quarter. During the same period in 2011, the Company had $2.6 million of costs associated with the ongoing government investigations, comprised of $1.1 million of legal fees and an accrual of $1.5 million for certain costs associated with the possible resolution of the government investigations.

Non-GAAP loss from operations was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with Non-GAAP loss from operations of $1.7 million for the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP net loss was $2.3 million, or $0.05 per share, in the first quarter of 2012, compared with Non-GAAP net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP results exclude the effects of costs associated with the ongoing government investigations and stock-based compensation net of the related income taxes, when applicable.

The Company closed the quarter with $37.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, down $0.2 million from December 2011.  Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.4 million. Deferred revenue at March 31, 2012 was $27.9 million, an increase of 9% compared with the same period a year ago.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company’s management refers to these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results. We include these non-GAAP financial measures (which should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, their comparable GAAP measures) in this press release because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency into the supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude (i) costs associated with the Company’s ongoing government investigations, and (ii) noncash stock-based compensation charges and any potential tax effects, when applicable. For a reconciliation of our GAAP and non-GAAP financial results, please refer to our Non-GAAP Operating Data GAAP Reconciliation, presented in this release.
