Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On June 26, 2013, Progress Software Corporation issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended May 31, 2013. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing of the company, whether made before or after the date of this report, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing.
Discontinued Operations – As previously disclosed, in June 2013, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest our Apama product line. In connection therewith, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, our Apama product line qualified for discontinued operations treatment, and is therefore, excluded from our continuing operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, we have provided supplemental quarterly information for the three months ended February 29, 2012, August 31, 2012, November 30, 2012, and February 28, 2013, respectively, adjusted for the classification of the Apama product line as discontinued operations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures – We disclosed non-GAAP financial measures in the press release. These non-GAAP measures include expenses, income from operations, income from continuing operations, earnings per share from continuing operations and operating margin. We provide non-GAAP financial measures to enhance the overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future as well as to enable investors to evaluate our performance in the same way that management does. We use these non-GAAP measures, and we believe that they assist our investors, to make period-to-period comparisons of our operational performance because they provide a view of our operating results without items that are not, in our view, indicative of our core operating results. Management uses these same non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance, allocate resources, and determine compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures are also utilized by analysts to calculate consensus estimates. However, non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to GAAP information as the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures often have a material impact on our financial results. Management uses, and investors should consider, non-GAAP measures in conjunction with our GAAP results.
In the noted fiscal periods, we adjusted for the following items from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures:
• | Amortization of acquired intangibles – In all periods presented, we excluded amortization of acquired intangibles because such expenses are unrelated to our core operating performance and the intangible assets acquired vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions and the maturities of the businesses acquired. |
• | Stock-based compensation – In all periods presented, we excluded stock-based compensation to be consistent with the way management and the financial community evaluates our performance and the methods used by analysts to calculate consensus estimates. |
• | Restructuring expenses – In all periods presented, we excluded restructuring expenses incurred because such expenses distort trends and are not part of our core operating results. |
• | Acquisition-related expenses – In the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, we excluded acquisition-related expenses from our acquisition of Rollbase, Inc. because such expenses distort trends and are not part of our operating results. In the three months ended February 29, 2012 and the six months ended May 31, 2012, we excluded acquisition-related expenses from our acquisition of Corticon Technologies, Inc. because such expenses distort trends and are not part of our core operating results. |
• | Litigation settlement – In the three months ended February 29, 2012 and the six months ended May 31, 2012, we excluded the cost to settle an existing patent infringement action brought by JuxtaComm because such expense distorts trends and is not part of our core operating results. |
• | Proxy contest-related costs – In the three and six months ended May 31, 2012, and the three months ended February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2012, respectively, we excluded the costs incurred for legal and other advice associated with our 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We excluded these costs because they are not part of our core operating results. |
• | Income tax adjustment – In all periods presented, we adjusted our income tax provision by excluding the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. |
Constant Currency – Revenue from our international operations has historically represented more than half of our total revenue. As a result, our revenue results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, if the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries weaken, our consolidated results stated in U.S. dollars are negatively impacted.
As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period to period comparisons, we believe the presentation of revenue growth rates on a constant currency basis helps improve the ability to understand our revenue results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP.
