Revenue of $30.1 Million
Deferred Revenue of $31.4 Million
Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.04
BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 5, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- OPNET Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPNT), a leading provider of solutions for managing networks and applications, today announced that quarterly revenue for the first fiscal quarter, ended June 30, 2008, was $30.1 million, compared to $23.3 million for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 were $0.04, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.03 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.
Marc A. Cohen, OPNET's Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are very pleased to have achieved record quarterly revenue of $30.1 million during the quarter, which was driven by a sequential increase in license revenue of $2.6 million. Our license revenue of $12.9 million this quarter exceeded our previous license revenue record of $11.2 million that we achieved in Q2 of fiscal 2007. Our license revenue growth was driven by strong sales to corporate enterprises. We are also very pleased to have improved our operating margin from negative 4.5% last quarter to positive 3.1% this quarter. Our improved operating margin was the result of our efforts to increase license revenue and control operating expenses. While we are pleased with our fiscal Q1 results, we remain very focused on efforts to improve our operating margin."
Cohen continued, "We believe that the demand for our software licenses is being driven by our end-to-end application performance management solutions. With the recent addition of ACE Live for real-time end user performance monitoring and integrations with our ACE Analyst and Panorama products that provide troubleshooting across distributed systems, networks, and client machines, we are now delivering a comprehensive performance management suite. As a result, OPNET customers can now plan, monitor, manage, and troubleshoot with much greater ease, speed, and automation than they could before."
The Company's first quarter fiscal 2009 financial results are presented below. The non-GAAP results exclude the income statement effects of stock-based compensation and acquisition-related amortization of intangible assets. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement table following the text of the press release. For further information, please refer to the section of the press release titled, "Use of Non-GAAP Measures."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as supplemental measures to GAAP to evaluate the Company's operational performance. These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A detailed explanation of each of the adjustments to such financial measures is described below. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is also included below.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate the Company's historical and prospective financial performance as well as its performance relative to its competitors, and (b) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting. In addition, many financial analysts who follow our Company focus on and publish both historical results and future projections based on non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that it is in the best interest of our investors to provide this information to analysts so that they accurately report the non-GAAP financial information. Moreover, investors have historically requested these non-GAAP financial measures as a means of providing consistent and comparable information with past reports of financial results.
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of the Company's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures only as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
The adjustments to these non-GAAP financial measures, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Amortization of intangibles and its related tax impact. The Company incurs amortization of intangibles, which is included in its GAAP presentation of amortization of acquired technology and customer relationships, and research and development, related to various acquisitions it has made in recent years. Management excludes these expenses and their related tax impact for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company because these costs are fixed at the time of an acquisition, and are then amortized over a period of three to five years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, management does not consider these expenses for purposes of evaluating the performance of the Company during the applicable time period after a given acquisition, and it excludes such expenses when evaluating the Company's financial performance.
Stock-based compensation expense and its related tax impact. The Company incurs expense related to stock-based compensation, which is included in its GAAP presentation of cost of software license updates, technical support and services, cost of professional services, research and development expense, sales and marketing expense and general and administrative expense. Although stock-based compensation is an expense of the Company and viewed as a form of compensation, management excludes these expenses for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when it evaluates the continuing operational performance of the Company. Specifically, the Company excludes stock-based compensation during its quarterly and annual assessments of the Company's and management's performance. In evaluating the performance of senior management, stock-based compensation is excluded from expenditure and profitability results.
