ATLANTA, May 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goldleaf Financial Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:GFSI), a provider of integrated technology-based solutions designed to improve the performance of financial institutions, today reported financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.
Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled $18.3 million, as compared to $19.2 million or a 4.4% decline over the same period last year. Operating loss totaled $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to operating income of $17 thousand for the first quarter of 2008. Net loss available to common stockholders totaled $2.0 million, or $(0.11) per share, in the first quarter of 2009, versus net loss available to common stockholders of $0.5 million, or $(0.03) per share, in the first quarter of 2008.
EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measurement calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock based compensation expense. EBITDAS totaled $0.7 million for the three-month period of 2009, which compares to $2.4 million for the same period of 2008. Including the restructuring charges related to the core and teller software sale to Integrated Bank Technology and foreign exchange losses, adjusted EBITDAS for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 would have been $1.1 million as compared to $3.4 million for the same period of 2008. See Attachment A for a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results.
Goldleaf CEO Lynn Boggs commented, "While we continue to operate in a challenging environment, our payments business continues to expand and experience double-digit growth quarter over quarter on a GAAP basis. We anticipate additional growth in this business line throughout 2009, which we expect will provide strong cash flow. However, the ongoing economic crisis continues to negatively impact the lending side of our business. We anticipate this impact to last throughout the second quarter."
"We believe our company's sales pipeline is strong and once the economic headwinds subside, we would expect business to increase due to pent-up demand. While we recognize that we need to maintain our ability to serve our customers, we have implemented and are continuing to implement a number of expense reduction initiatives where appropriate. We expect these initiatives will have a meaningful impact on our second half 2009 results while leaving us in a position to capitalize on increased financial institution spending once the economy turns the corner. We remain confident in our exceptional suite of products and services, as well as the ability of our employee base to succeed in meeting the needs of our clients."
Goldleaf will be hosting a conference call to discuss its 2009 first-quarter results this afternoon at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The live broadcast of Goldleaf's fourth-quarter conference call will be available online at www.goldleaf.com under the Investor Relations tab and at www.earnings.com. An online replay will be available using the same links.

ATTACHMENT A
RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED NET INCOMES (LOSS) TO EBITDAS
EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDAS is defined by the Company as GAAP net income (loss) plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation expense less interest earned. We have provided EBITDAS because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and because we believe it will help investors and analysts evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as enhance an understanding of our operating results. Our management uses EBITDAS:
* as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis; * for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and the calculation of our ability to borrow under our credit facility (with further adjustments as required under the terms of our credit facility); * to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; * to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies; and * to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business.
Other companies may calculate EBITDAS differently than we do. In addition, EBITDAS:
* does not represent net income or cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP; * is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our cash flow needs; and * should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash provided by operating activities or our other financial information as determined under GAAP.
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company also provides information related to non-GAAP financial measurements such as EBITDAS and adjusted EBITDAS, and from time to time, other non-GAAP financial measurements that adjust for certain items outside of the ordinary course of its business. To enable interested parties to reconcile non-GAAP measures to the Company's GAAP financial statements, the Company clearly defines EBITDAS and adjusted EBITDAS and quantifies all other adjustments to GAAP measurements. The Company provides EBITDAS information, a widely used non-GAAP financial measurement, as a performance measure to assist in analyzing the Company's operations and in comparing the Company to its competitors. The Company provides other non-GAAP financial measurements that adjust for certain items outside of the ordinary course of business in order to assist in comparing the Company's current operating performance to its historical performance. These adjustments typically reflect non-recurring items but sometimes reflect items, such as dispositions of assets and restructuring charges that are not technically non-recurring but are outside of the ordinary course of operations. Investors should note that such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and investors are encouraged to use this information only in connection with the information contained in the Company's GAAP financial statements.
