Blackbaud, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2014 Results
Achieves 10.4 % Revenue and 43% Net Income Growth; Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Growth of 6.9%

Charleston, S.C. (April 30, 2014) - Blackbaud, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLKB), a leading global provider of software and services for nonprofits, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended, March 31, 2014.

First Quarter 2014 Highlights

Non-GAAP organic revenue growth of 6.9% (gross presentation of payments solutions for both comparable periods)
Total revenue growth of 10.4% to $127.6 million
Recurring revenue represented 73.6% of total revenue
Net income increased by 43% to $3.8 million
Diluted earnings per share increased by 33%
Cash flow from operations of $13.3 million

Mike Gianoni, President and CEO, commented, “The company performed well in the first quarter, delivering on our strategy to accelerate revenue growth by achieving non-GAAP organic revenue growth of nearly 7%. This growth was driven by higher than expected growth in several business areas, including analytics, international and payments as well as growth from other recurring revenue sources. We are continuing to focus on our four primary priorities for 2014: accelerating organic growth, optimizing our product portfolio, increasing recurring revenue and increasing our operating efficiencies in order to drive sustainable, high-quality growth in revenue, operating profit and cash flow over the long-term.”

“Our first quarter results reflect solid execution on our priorities and positions us to achieve our 2014 financial and operational goals to drive increasing shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Gianoni.

First Quarter 2014 GAAP Financial Results

Blackbaud reported total revenue of $127.6 million for the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 10.4% compared to $115.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. Income from operations and net income were $9.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, compared to $4.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per share were $0.08 for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $0.06 in the same period last year.

First Quarter 2014 Non-GAAP Financial Results

Blackbaud announced non-GAAP organic revenue growth of 6.9%, which includes $3.7 million of incremental revenue in the first quarter of 2013 as if the company had applied gross revenue accounting for our payments solutions on a basis consistent with the current period. Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes a write-down of acquisition-related deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, CEO transition costs, acquisition-related integration costs and restructuring costs, was $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2014, down from $20.9 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income which also excludes a loss from debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments, was $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2014, down from $11.8 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.24 for the first quarter of 2014, down from $0.26 in the same period last year. The reduction in non-GAAP income from operations primarily reflected the 2014 incremental operating investments, including $3.3 million in the first quarter, which are targeted to drive success of the company's four primary priorities referenced above.

Tony Boor, Senior Vice President and CFO, commented, “Blackbaud generated $13.3 million of cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2014, which reflects increasing leverage and efficiency in our business. We have been investing in areas targeted to accelerate growth, increase total recurring revenue, and continue to increase our operational efficiencies. The incremental investments we are making in 2014 impacted our operating margin by 259 basis points in the first quarter. Our income statement reflects a lower gross margin due primarily to the change from net-to-gross presentation for our payments solutions; however, the company gained meaningful traction on its initiatives to increase profitability and recurring revenue. It is important to note that our gross margin will continue to be impacted by this change in presentation throughout most of 2014.”




Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The company ended the first quarter with $32.6 million in cash, compared to $11.9 million on December 31, 2013. The company generated $13.3 million in cash flow from operations during the first quarter, received $19.6 million in net proceeds from debt refinancing, returned $5.5 million to stockholders by way of dividend and had cash outlays of $7.3 million for capital expenditures and capitalized software. The company entered into a $325.0 million credit facility during the first quarter and drew $175.0 million on a term loan upon closing, which was used to repay all amounts outstanding under the previous credit facility. Additional details related to this credit facility can be found in the company's filings with the SEC at www.sec.gov and on the company’s website at www.blackbaud.com/investorrelations. The company ended the first quarter with $173.1 million in outstanding debt, compared to $152.9 million at December 31, 2013.

Forward-looking Statements

Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations, and assumptions contained in this news release are forward-looking statements which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding: the primary priorities for 2014 including accelerating organic growth, optimizing the product portfolio, increasing recurring revenue and increasing operating efficiencies; the sustainability and quality of growth in revenue, operating profit and cash flow and the ability to realize such growth over the long-term; achieving 2014 financial and operational goals and increasing shareholder value; operational efficiencies; investments in 2014; impacts by the change in revenue presentation; and a shifting revenue mix that may impact gross margin. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Although Blackbaud attempts to be accurate in making these forward-looking statements, it is possible that future circumstances might differ from the assumptions on which such statements are based. In addition, other important factors that could cause results to differ materially include the following: the ability to attract and retain key personnel; management of integration of acquired companies and other risks associated with acquisitions; general economic risks; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; continued success in sales growth; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple



integrated software products; risks related to our dividend policy and stock repurchase program, including potential limitations on our ability to grow and the possibility that we might discontinue payment of dividends; risks relating to restrictions imposed by our credit facility; risks associated with management of growth; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in the SEC filings for Blackbaud, copies of which are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or upon request from Blackbaud's investor relations department. Blackbaud assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Blackbaud has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP organic revenue growth, non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Blackbaud uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Blackbaud's ongoing operational performance. Blackbaud believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results from period to period with other companies in Blackbaud's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Non-GAAP financial measures discussed above exclude items such as a write-down of acquisition-related deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, CEO transition costs, acquisition-related integration costs, restructuring costs and loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments, because they are not directly related to our performance in any particular period, but are for our long-term benefit over multiple periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in our business.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. An explanation of these measures is included above under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Investors are also encouraged to refer to previously released financial information on the “Investor Relations” page of our website at www.blackbaud.com/investorrelations for analysis of Blackbaud’s historical financial statements for the four quarters and year ended December 31, 2013 that is intended to assist with the evaluation of the company and its performance in light of the change in presentation of our payments solutions from a net to gross basis. That financial information includes non-GAAP operating results as if the previously disclosed change in presentation effective October 1, 2013 had instead occurred on January 1, 2013, which provides the 2013 period base revenue used in calculating non-GAAP organic revenue growth. That financial information also includes operating results as if the previously disclosed change in presentation effective October 1, 2013 had not occurred.
