Guidance for full-year 2014:

VASCO is increasing its guidance for revenue and operating margins for the full-year 2014 as follows:

“We are very pleased with our results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014,” stated T. Kendall Hunt, Chairman & CEO. “Revenues for the third quarter were the highest of any quarter in our history and reflected strong growth from both our Banking and Enterprise and Application Security markets. We believe that the growth in revenues in both markets is attributable to an increase in the demand resulting from an increasing level of sophisticated hacking attempts that are broadly publicized and our continued focus on providing innovative products. These same factors were important contributors to our strong intake of new orders in Q3. In Q3, we also had the strongest intake of new orders of any quarter in our history, replacing the first quarter of this year, which had been the best quarter in our history previously.”

“The results for the third quarter reflected a 37% increase in revenues from the Banking market and a 23% increase in revenues from the Enterprise and Application Security market,” stated Jan Valcke, VASCO’s President and COO. “The growth in the Banking market reflected strong demand from both existing and new customers. In Q3, we also saw strong demand for our relatively new products that increase the level of security along with user convenience, such as our products that use the CrontoSign technology, and products that support new applications, especially mobile applications. The growth in the Enterprise and Application Security market is being driven in large part by growth in our maintenance revenues, which shows us that our strategy of focusing on software with related maintenance is working well.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP, but Company management also evaluates its performance using EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS. The Company’s management believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of our business and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results.

These non-GAAP measures are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives or substitutes for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful within the context described below, they are in fact incomplete and are not a measure that should be used to evaluate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business, and how taxes affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment.

EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We use EBITDA as a simplified measure of performance for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation and amortization), or deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find that the comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not need to consider the impact of those items on our competitors’ results.

Amortization (EBITDA) to net income from continuing operations (in thousands):

Adjusted Net Income & Adjusted Diluted EPS

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS, as net income or EPS from continuing operations before the consideration of long-term incentive compensation expenses and the amortization of purchased intangible assets. We use these measures to assess the impact of our performance excluding items that though they are recurring, can significantly impact the comparison of our results between periods and the comparison to competitors.

Long-term incentive compensation for management and others is directly tied to performance and this measure allows management to see the relationship of the cost of incentives to the performance of the business operations directly if such incentives are based on that period’s performance. To the extent that such incentives are based on performance over a period of several years, there may be periods which have significant adjustments to the accruals in the period but which relate to a longer period of time, and which can make it difficult to assess the results of the business operations in the current period. In addition, the Company’s long-term incentives generally reflect the use of restricted stock grants or cash awards while other Companies may use different forms of incentives the cost of which is determined on a different basis, which makes a comparison difficult.

The Company also excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets because it believes that the amount of such expenses in any given period may not be correlated directly to the performance of the business operations and that such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions, the full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets or the write down of such assets due to an impairment event.
