DemandTec Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results


SAN CARLOS, Calif., July 2, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- DemandTec, Inc. (Nasdaq:DMAN), a leading provider of on-demand optimization solutions for retailers and consumer products manufacturers, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 ended May 31, 2008.

"We were pleased with the company's financial performance in the quarter. Revenue and non-GAAP operating profitability were at or above the high end of our guidance and we generated strong cash flow. We continue to execute well against our three point growth strategy, as evidenced by winning new U.S.-based retail customers, as well as signing a retail customer add-on deal and a consumer products manufacturer agreement that are among the largest in DemandTec's history," said Dan Fishback, President and Chief Executive Officer of DemandTec.

"We are continuing to invest in our business to expand our product offerings and extend our market leadership position. For example, we recently launched Assortment Optimization as a significant new software service and Funds Tracker as a value-add software service on the DemandTec TradePoint Network(tm). We also announced a strategic relationship with Precima, Inc., a one-to-one marketing vendor. DemandTec is now the only consumer demand management vendor that offers a comprehensive suite of advanced analytics and optimization services to integrate pricing, promotion, assortment, space planning and loyalty marketing," added Fishback.

Gross Profit: GAAP gross profit was $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles, was $12.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, up 41% from the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and representing a non-GAAP gross margin of 71.7%.

GAAP Operating and Net Loss: Loss from operations was $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to a loss from operations of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Non-GAAP Operating and Net Income/Loss: Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes $1.8 million in stock-based compensation expense and $241,000 in amortization of intangibles, was $491,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $471,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Cash: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the first quarter totaled $80.4 million, an increase of approximately $4.6 million from the end of fiscal 2008.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying press release dated July 2, 2008 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), net income (loss) per share amounts, weighted average shares outstanding and free cash flow.

Our non-GAAP financial measures generally exclude costs and expenses for (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets related to our acquisition of TradePoint Solutions, 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 Solutions, 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.
