Charleston, S.C. (October 25, 2017) - Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world's leading cloud software company powering social good, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

"Our unique ability to maximize customer outcomes through innovative new technology and industry expertise is a powerful combination, and it is driving our strong financial performance,” said Mike Gianoni, Blackbaud's president and CEO. "We just concluded our annual user conference bbcon, and it's quite clear to customers that our social good-optimized cloud Blackbaud SKYTM provides the industry's best cloud capabilities, and that we are rapidly evolving it with new innovation. Blackbaud SKY is fueling our strong revenue growth, which is becoming increasingly stable and predictable, as we shift our mix of revenue towards recurring subscriptions. Subscriptions revenue now represents 65 percent of our total revenue and non-GAAP organic subscriptions revenue was strong, growing 19 percent during the third quarter."

Third Quarter 2017 Results Compared to Third Quarter 2016 Results:
Total GAAP revenue was $195.5 million, up 6.8%, with $159.0 million in GAAP recurring revenue, representing 81.3% of total revenue, and $127.5 million in subscription revenue, representing 65.2% of total revenue.
Total non-GAAP revenue was $195.9 million, up 7.0%, with $159.3 million in non-GAAP recurring revenue, representing 81.3% of total non-GAAP revenue, and $127.8 million in subscription revenue, representing 65.2% of total revenue.
Non-GAAP organic revenue increased 5.6%, non-GAAP organic recurring revenue increased 10.7%, and non-GAAP organic subscription revenue increased 19.0%.
GAAP income from operations increased 32.7% to $18.0 million, with GAAP operating margin increasing 180 basis points to 9.2%.
Non-GAAP income from operations increased 23.3% to $42.0 million, with non-GAAP operating margin increasing 280 basis points to 21.4%.
GAAP net income increased 40.5% to $12.5 million, with GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.26, up $0.07.
Non-GAAP net income increased 25.8% to $26.9 million, with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.56, up $0.11.
Non-GAAP free cash flow was $59.1 million, an increase of $17.5 million.

"We posted a very solid third quarter balancing accelerated growth in revenue with improved profitability" said Tony Boor, Blackbaud's executive vice president and CFO. "The company's strong financial performance continues to position us well toward achieving our financial guidance and long-term aspirational goals. We've updated our financial expectation for 2017 to include the acquisition of peer-to-peer giving leader JustGivingTM, which closed on October 2nd, and we look forward to keeping this steady momentum by finishing the year strong."

Blackbaud has not reconciled forward-looking full-year non-GAAP financial measures contained in this news release to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Such reconciliations would require unreasonable efforts at this time to estimate and quantify with a reasonable degree of certainty various necessary GAAP components, including for example those related to compensation, acquisition transactions and integration, tax items or others that may arise during the year. These components and other factors could materially impact the amount of the future directly comparable GAAP measures, which may differ significantly from their non-GAAP counterparts.

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 revenue, non-GAAP recurring 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 has acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with

PRESS RELEASE
 
 

GAAP reporting requirements, Blackbaud recorded write-downs of deferred revenue to fair value, which resulted in lower recognized revenue. Both on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, the revenue for the acquired businesses is deferred and typically recognized over a one-year period, so Blackbaud's GAAP revenues for the one-year period after the acquisitions will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. The non-GAAP measures described above reverse the acquisition-related deferred revenue write-downs so that the full amount of revenue booked by the acquired companies is included, which Blackbaud believes provides a more accurate representation of a revenue run-rate in a given period. In addition to reversing write-downs of acquisition-related deferred revenue, non-GAAP financial measures discussed above exclude the impact of certain items that Blackbaud believes are not directly related to its performance in any particular period, but are for its long-term benefit over multiple periods.

In addition, Blackbaud discusses non-GAAP organic revenue growth, non-GAAP organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP organic subscriptions revenue growth and non-GAAP organic recurring revenue growth, which it believes provides useful information for evaluating the periodic growth of its business on a consistent basis. Each of these measures excludes incremental acquisition-related revenue attributable to companies acquired in the current fiscal year. For companies acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, each of these measures reflects presentation of full-year incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies as if they were combined throughout the prior period, and it includes the non-GAAP revenue attributable to those companies, as if there were no acquisition-related write-downs of acquired deferred revenue to fair value as required by GAAP. In addition, each of these measures excludes prior period revenue associated with divested businesses. The exclusion of the prior period revenue is to present the results of the divested businesses within the results of the combined company for the same period of time in both the prior and current periods. Blackbaud believes this presentation provides a more comparable representation of its current business’ organic revenue growth and revenue run-rate.

Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, including costs required to be capitalized for software development, and capital expenditures for property and equipment.

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 these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the Blackbaud's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in its business. In addition, Blackbaud believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information 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. However, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. 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.

(1)
Non-GAAP acquisition-related revenue excludes incremental acquisition-related revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP that is attributable to companies acquired in the current fiscal year. For companies acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, non-GAAP acquisition-related revenue reflects presentation of full-year incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies, as if they were combined throughout the prior period, and it includes the non-GAAP revenue from the acquisition-related deferred revenue write-down attributable to those companies.
(2)
Non-GAAP revenue for the prior year periods presented herein may not agree to non-GAAP revenue presented in the respective prior period quarterly financial information solely due to the manner in which non-GAAP organic revenue growth is calculated.
(3)
To determine non-GAAP organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis, revenues from entities reporting in foreign currencies were translated to U.S. Dollars using the comparable prior period's quarterly weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. The primary foreign currencies creating the impact are the Canadian Dollar, EURO, British Pound and Australian Dollar.
