DemandTec Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2008 Financial Results


SAN CARLOS, Calif., Oct. 4, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- DemandTec, Inc. (Nasdaq:DMAN), a leading provider of on-demand consumer demand management applications that enable retailers and consumer products companies to optimize prices, promotions, and other strategic decisions, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 ended August 31, 2007.

"We were very pleased that we completed our initial public offering in August, which was a significant milestone for DemandTec and the consumer demand management market. The company continued its strong performance in the second quarter, which was highlighted by record revenue and by non-GAAP operating profitability, both of which were better than our plan entering the quarter," said Dan Fishback, President and Chief Executive Officer of DemandTec. Fishback added, "DemandTec has established a leadership position with a number of the largest retailers in the world, and we look to leverage this position in order to continue increasing our presence with consumer products manufacturers. With strong second quarter results, we are pleased about our fundamental outlook."

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue: Revenue was $14.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, up 40% from $10.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and 11% from $13.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Gross Profit: GAAP gross profit was $9.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles, was $10.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, up 36% from the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and representing a non-GAAP gross margin of 68%.

GAAP Operating and Net Income/Loss: Loss from operations was $644,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to income from operations of $193,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1.1 million, or ($0.10) per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $110,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Non-GAAP Operating and Net Income/Loss: Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes $605,000 in stock-based compensation expense and $243,000 in amortization of intangibles, was $204,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $227,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $262,000, or ($0.02) per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $144,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Cash: Cash and marketable securities at the end of the quarter were $75.2 million, an increase of approximately $48 million from the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase was driven primarily by $59.7 million in net proceeds from the company's initial public offering, less approximately $13 million of cash used to retire the company's term debt and line of credit outstanding prior to the completion of the offering, combined with positive cash flow from operations of $2.5 million. For the six months ended August 31, 2007, the company generated $5.7 million in cash flow from operations and invested $2.3 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $3.4 million.

Mark Culhane, Chief Financial Officer of DemandTec, stated, "Given the early stage of the consumer demand management market, revenue growth and market share are among the company's top strategic priorities. However, we are also highly focused on driving profitability and cash flow, which is evidenced by the company's strong cash from operations on a year-to-date basis."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying press release dated October 4, 2007 contains non-GAAP financial measures. The above table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures in the press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share amounts.

Our non-GAAP financial measures generally exclude costs and expenses for (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets related to our acquisition of TradePoint, Inc. and (ii) stock-based compensation:

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets. In accordance with GAAP, we amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of TradePoint, Inc. over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We exclude these amortization costs in our non-GAAP financial measures because they (i) result from a prior acquisition, rather than the ongoing operating performance of our business, and (ii) absent additional acquisitions, are expected to decline over time as the remaining carrying amounts of these assets are amortized. We believe excluding these costs helps investors compare our financial performance with that of other companies with different acquisition histories. However, we recognize that amortization costs provide a helpful measure of the financial impact and performance of prior acquisitions and consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our GAAP financial results that include amortization costs.

Stock-Based Compensation Expenses. We exclude stock-based compensation expense associated with equity incentives granted to employees, non-employees and non-executive directors in our non-GAAP financial measures. While stock-based compensation is a significant component of our expenses, we believe that investors may wish to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense in comparing our financial performance with that of other companies.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures, which should be considered as the primarily financial metrics for evaluating our financial performance. Significantly, non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Instead, they are based on subjective determinations by management designed to supplement our GAAP financial measures. They are subject to a number of important limitations and should be considered only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP measures with the same names, may vary over time and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names used by other companies. Accordingly, investors should exercise caution when evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures.
