Record Quarterly and Annual Operating Performance
WATERLOO, Ontario, March 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), a global on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) logistics solutions provider, announced financial results for its fiscal 2009 fourth quarter (Q4FY09) and year (FY09) ended January 31, 2009. All financial results referenced are in United States (US) currency and, unless otherwise indicated, are determined in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Q4FY09 Financial Results
As described in more detail below, key financial highlights for Descartes in Q4FY09 included:
-- Revenues of $15.7 million, down $0.3 million or 2% from
$16.0 million in the fourth quarter of last fiscal year (Q4FY08)
and down $1.3 million or 8% from $17.0 million in the previous
quarter (Q3FY09). Currency Adjusted revenues for Q4FY09, compared
to Q4FY08, were up 6% to $16.9 million. Currency Adjusted
revenues for Q4FY09, compared to Q3FY09, were $16.4 million.
"Currency Adjusted" revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure that
we use solely for comparing revenues from two different periods
without the impact of foreign exchange. A definition and
reconciliation of Currency Adjusted revenues to revenues in
accordance with GAAP is provided later in this release;
-- Income before income taxes of $2.6 million, up 30% from Q4FY08
and compared to $2.7 million in Q3FY09;
-- Net income of $15.7 million, down $2.2 million from $17.9 million
in Q4FY08 and up $13.4 million from $2.3 million in Q3FY09. Net
income in Q4FY09 and Q4FY08 included non-cash, deferred income
tax recoveries of $13.1 million and $16.0 million, respectively,
as Descartes recorded a deferred tax asset for prior period tax
losses that are anticipated to be applied against taxable income
earned in future periods;
-- Earnings per share on a diluted basis of $0.29, down from $0.33
in Q4FY08 and up from $0.04 in Q3FY09. Income before income
taxes, per share on a diluted basis for Q4FY09 was $0.05,
compared to $0.04 in Q4FY08 and $0.05 in Q3FY09;
-- Days sales outstanding of 50 days, down 9 days from 59 days in
Q4FY08, and compared to 47 days last quarter;
-- Record EBITDA of $4.5 million, up 18% from $3.8 million in Q4FY08
and up 2% from $4.4 million in Q3FY09. EBITDA as a percentage of
revenues was 29% this quarter, up from 24% in Q4FY08 and 26% in
Q3FY09.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure provided as a complement
to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP that we
calculate as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (for which we include amortization of intangible
assets, contingent acquisition consideration, deferred
compensation and stock-based compensation). These items are
considered by management to be outside Descartes' ongoing
operational results. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income
determined in accordance with GAAP is provided later in this
release.
The following table summarizes Descartes' results in the categories specified below over the past 5 fiscal quarters (unaudited, dollar amounts in millions, except diluted earnings per share amounts, EBITDA as a % of revenues and DSOs):

--------------------------------------------------------------------
* Net income and earnings per share on a diluted basis were
positively impacted by non-cash, deferred income tax recoveries
of $13.1 million, $0.4 million and $16.0 million in Q4FY09, Q3FY09
and Q4FY08, respectively. Net income and earnings per share on a
diluted basis were also impacted by the following: (1) non-cash
deferred income tax expenses as tax losses were applied to taxable
income in the amounts of $0.8 million in Q3FY09 and $0.5 million
in each of Q2FY09 and Q1FY09; and (2) contingent acquisition
consideration expense of $0.3 million in Q2FY09 and $0.5 million
in each of Q1FY09 and Q4FY08.
Total revenues of $15.7 million in Q4FY09 were comprised of $14.4 million in services revenues and $1.3 million in license revenues. As a percentage of total revenues, services revenues were 92%, compared to 90% in Q4FY08 and unchanged from Q3FY09, with the balance of the revenues in each period being license revenues.
Geographically, $10.0 million of revenues (64%) were generated in the Americas, excluding Canada, $3.5 million (22%) in Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), $1.8 million (12%) in Canada, and $0.4 million (2%) in the Asia Pacific region.
"In these unprecedented times, our diligent attention to our operating model has delivered positive results," said Stephanie Ratza, CFO at Descartes. "We maintain a solid balance sheet with a healthy cash position and will continue to closely monitor our operations while we execute on our consolidation strategy."
"There is a new immediacy for our customers; the world has changed and our customers need to change with it. We have and will continue to work with our customers to provide solutions that allow them to save money now and help them comply with regulatory requirements for shipments through our Global Logistics Network and value-added services," said Art Mesher, Descartes' CEO. "Our mission is to make the world a better place through logistics by helping our customers and community of trading partners improve the productivity and performance of logistics."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income
We prepare and release quarterly unaudited and annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial information, used to evaluate our performance, in this and other earnings releases and investor conference calls as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. We believe that current shareholders and potential investors in our company use non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, Currency Adjusted revenues and Adjusted Net Income, in making investment decisions about our company and measuring our operational results.
The term "EBITDA" refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (for which we include amortization of intangible assets, contingent acquisition consideration, deferred compensation and stock-based compensation). Since EBITDA is not a measure determined under GAAP it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP. We have presented EBITDA to show Descartes' baseline performance before certain non-cash and acquisition-related expenses and other items that are considered by management to be outside Descartes' ongoing operational results. We believe that financial analysts, current investors and potential investors use EBITDA to understand Descartes' financial results and that EBITDA will help investors' overall understanding of our results by providing a higher level of transparency for certain expenses and by providing a level of disclosure that will help investors understand how we plan and measure our business.
Starting this quarter, we have disclosed a non-GAAP financial measure that we refer to as Adjusted Net Income. We define "Adjusted Net Income" as EBITDA less acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges. As EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted Net Income is also defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (for which we include amortization of intangible assets, contingent acquisition consideration, deferred compensation and stock-based compensation), acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges. Historically, costs and expenses of acquisitions, as well as certain costs of restructuring/integrating acquired companies, were capitalized as part of the purchase price for that acquisition. Effective for Descartes' FY10 fiscal year, GAAP has changed to require that such costs be expensed in the period incurred rather than amortized over the life of the applicable assets the purchase price was allocated to. Management considers acquisition-related and restructuring activity to be outside Descartes' ongoing operational results and this is how management measures the business. Accordingly, we reference Adjusted Net Income to both measure our operations and as a basis of comparison of our operations from period-to-period exclusive of this accounting change. Management believes that investors and financial analysts do the same, and we are providing the Adjusted Net Income financial metric to assist in this evaluation and to provide a higher level of transparency into how we measure our own business. However, Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to similar titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted Net Income should not be construed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP and the use of Adjusted Net Income does have limitations. In particular, we have completed nine acquisition transactions over the past three fiscal years, two acquisition transactions in the first quarter of FY10 and may complete acquisition transactions in the future that will result in acquisition-related expenses and restructuring expenses. As these acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges may continue, some investors may consider these charges and expenses as a recurring part of operations rather than non-recurring charges and expenses that are not part of operations.
The table below reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to net income reported in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for Q4FY09, Q3FY09, Q2FY09, Q1FY09 and Q4FY08, which we believe is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

This quarter, we have disclosed and discussed a non-GAAP financial measure that we refer to as "Currency Adjusted" revenues. We define "Currency Adjusted" revenues as GAAP revenues plus or minus the impact of foreign exchange on GAAP revenues during the period when compared to a prior period. This impact is calculated on a currency by currency basis by taking the actual revenues earned in a currency in the prior period, determining the blended foreign exchange rate used in that prior period to convert the foreign currency revenues to US dollars, and then applying that blended foreign exchange rate to the actual revenues earned in that same currency in the current period. The impact for each currency for which revenues were earned is then aggregated to determine the aggregate impact of foreign exchange on revenues in the current quarter when compared to the prior period. Management uses this metric to measure revenue trends between periods without the impact of foreign exchange, and helps management to identify revenue trends between periods and make appropriate operating decisions based on this information. Management believes that removing the impact of foreign exchange is helpful to this analysis as movements in international currencies are beyond the control of management and provide a better basis for identifying other factors that influence revenues that may be more in management's control. We have provided this metric as we believe it provides investors and financial analysts with a higher level of transparency into our revenues. However, Currency Adjusted revenues is a non-GAAP measure and should not be used as a substitute for revenues determined in accordance with GAAP. Also, since Currency Adjusted revenues is not a measure determined under GAAP, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, in particular in the way that foreign exchange impact is calculated.
