ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE (http://www.businesswire.com/))--
Regulatory News:

Lawson Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: LWSN) today reported financial results
for its first quarter of fiscal year 2011, which ended Aug. 31, 2010. As
reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), revenues
were $174.7 million with GAAP net income of $9.6 million, or diluted
earnings per share (EPS) of $0.06. These results compare to first
quarter of fiscal year 2010 GAAP revenues of $169 million with GAAP net
income of $6 million, or EPS of $0.04. Currency exchange rate
fluctuations had a positive impact of approximately $0.01 on the
reported first quarter 2011 net earnings per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 17
percent to $18 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $15.4
million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal year
2010. First quarter non-GAAP net income and EPS includes the addition of
$1.9 million of revenues impacted by purchase accounting adjustments and
excludes $11.8 million of amortization of acquired intangibles, non-cash
stock-based compensation, non-cash convertible note interest, and
amortization of purchased maintenance contracts partly, offset by a gain
related to modifications of a Norwegian pension plan benefit and
restructuring adjustments. Non-GAAP net income and EPS include a
provision for income taxes based upon a rate of 35 percent in fiscal
2011, which is applied consistently throughout the year. Currency
exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of approximately $0.01
on the first quarter 2011 non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share.

“Strong Q1 performance gives us a good start to our fiscal year,” said
Harry Debes, president and chief executive officer. “Total non-GAAP
revenues grew nearly 5 percent. We also achieved non-GAAP operating
margin of approximately 17 percent and non-GAAP EPS of 11 cents, both
increasing over last year. Our results provide further proof that
executing our strategy to grow our business in our strategic markets
will continue to drive improvement in our profitability.”

Financial Guidance
For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, which ends Nov. 30, 2010, the
company is providing guidance using average currency exchange rates
during September 2010. The company estimates total revenues of $184
million to $189 million. Non-GAAP total revenues are expected to be in
the range of $185 million to $190 million, including approximately $1
million of revenues impacted by purchase accounting adjustments. The
company anticipates GAAP fully diluted earnings per share will be in the
range of $0.04 to $0.05. Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share are
forecasted to be in the range of $0.11 to $0.12, including the revenues
impacted by purchase accounting and excluding approximately $14 million
of pre-tax expenses related to the amortization of acquired intangible
assets, non-cash stock-based compensation, incremental non-cash
convertible note interest, and amortization of purchased maintenance
contracts. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fiscal 2011 is
estimated at 35 percent, which the company expects to apply consistently
throughout the fiscal year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, Lawson Software
reports non-GAAP financial results including non-GAAP revenues,
operating income, operating margin, net income and diluted net income
per share. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight
into our operating performance and an alternative perspective of our
results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to assess our
operating performance, to develop budgets, to serve as a measurement for
incentive compensation awards and to manage expenditures. Presentation
of these non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our results of
operations from the same perspective as management and our Board of
Directors. These non-GAAP financial measures provide investors an
enhanced understanding of our operations, facilitate investors' analysis
and comparisons of our current and past results of operations,
facilitate comparisons of our operating results with those of our
competitors and provide insight into the prospects of our future
performance. We also believe the non-GAAP measures are useful to
investors because they provide supplemental information that research
analysts frequently use to analyze software companies including those
that have recently made significant acquisitions.

The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with
U.S. GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. These
non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for
corresponding U.S. GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a
supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our
business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in they do not reflect
certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported
financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in
conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP
financial measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP results provided for each
period presented, which are attached to this release.

Our primary non-GAAP reconciling items are as follows:
Purchase accounting impact on revenue - Lawson's non-GAAP financial
results include pro forma adjustments to increase maintenance and
consulting revenues that we would have recognized if we had not adjusted
acquired deferred revenues to their fair values as required by U.S.
GAAP. Certain deferred revenue for maintenance and consulting on the
acquired entity's balance sheet, at the time of the acquisition, was
eliminated from U.S. GAAP results as part of the purchase accounting for
the acquisition. As a result, our U.S. GAAP results do not, in
management's view, reflect all of our maintenance and consulting
activity. We believe the inclusion of the non-GAAP revenue adjustment
provides investors a helpful alternative view of Lawson's maintenance
and consulting operations.

Amortization of purchased maintenance contracts - We have excluded
amortization of purchased maintenance contracts from our non-GAAP
results. The purchase price related to these contracts is being
amortized based upon the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be
generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the contracts.
We believe the exclusion of the amortization expense related to the
purchased maintenance contracts provides investors an enhanced
understanding of our results of operations.

Stock-based compensation - Expense related to stock-based compensation
has been excluded from our non-GAAP results of operations. These charges
consist of the estimated fair value of share-based awards including
stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and share
purchases under our employee stock purchase plan. While the charges for
stock-based compensation are of a recurring nature, as we grant
stock-based awards to attract and retain quality employees and as an
incentive to help achieve financial and other corporate goals, we
exclude them from our results of operation in assessing our operating
performance. These charges are typically non-cash and are often the
result of complex calculations using an option pricing model that
estimates stock-based awards' fair value based on factors such as
volatility and risk-free interest rates that are beyond our control. The
expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in
the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and
nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include such charges in our
operating plans that we use to manage our business. In addition, we
believe the exclusion of these charges facilitates comparisons of our
operating results with those of our competitors who may have different
policies regarding the use of stock-based awards.

Acquisition transaction and integration costs - We have incurred various
transaction and integration costs related to our acquisitions. The costs
of integrating the operations of acquired businesses and Lawson are
incremental to our historical costs and are charged to our U.S. GAAP
results of operations in the periods incurred. Beginning in fiscal 2010,
acquisition related transaction costs have also been charged to our U.S.
GAAP results of operations. We do not consider these costs in our
assessment of our operating performance. While these costs are not
recurring with respect to our past acquisitions, we may incur similar
costs in the future if we pursue other acquisitions. We believe the
exclusion of the non-recurring acquisition related transaction and
integration costs provides investors a useful alternative view of our
results of operations and facilitates comparisons of our results
period-over-period.

Pension gain - We have implemented certain modifications to our pension
plan in Norway. These modifications resulted in a curtailment of
benefits under the plan and resulted in our recording a gain related to
the change in all active participants' projected benefit obligations
resulting from the curtailment. In addition, these modifications led to
a settlement of active participants' projected benefit obligations and
resulted in our recording an additional gain related to the pension
settlement. We do not consider these gains in our assessment of our
operating performance. We believe that the exclusion of the
non-recurring pension gains provide investors a useful alternative view
of our results of operations and facilitates comparisons of our results
period-over-period.

Restructuring - We have recorded various restructuring charges related
to actions taken to reduce our cost structure to enhance operating
effectiveness and improve profitability and to eliminate certain
redundancies in connection with acquisitions. These restructuring
activities impacted different functional areas of our operations in
different locations and were undertaken to meet specific business
objectives in light of the facts and circumstances at the time of each
restructuring event. These charges include costs related to severance
and other termination benefits as well as costs to exit leased
facilities. These restructuring charges are excluded from management's
assessment of our operating performance. We believe the exclusion of the
restructuring charges provides investors a useful alternative view of
the cost structure of our operations and facilitates comparisons with
the results of other periods that may not reflect such charges or may
reflect different levels of such charges.

Amortization of acquired intangibles - We have excluded amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets including purchased technology,
client lists, customer relationships, trademarks, order backlog and
non-compete agreements from our non-GAAP results. The fair value of the
intangible assets, which was allocated to these assets through purchase
accounting, is amortized using accelerated or straight-line methods
which approximate the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be
generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the applicable
assets. While these non-cash amortization charges are recurring in
nature and the underlying assets benefit our operations, this
amortization expense can fluctuate significantly based on the nature,
timing and size of our past acquisitions and may be affected by future
acquisitions. This makes comparisons of our current and historic
operating performance difficult. Therefore, we exclude such expenses
when analyzing the results of our operations including those of acquired
entities. We believe the exclusion of the amortization expense of
acquired intangible assets provides investors useful information
facilitating comparison of our results period-over-period and with other
companies in the software industry as they each have their own
acquisition histories and related non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt - We have excluded
the incremental non-cash interest expense related to our $240.0 million
2.5% senior convertible notes that we are required to recognize under
U.S. GAAP for convertible debt securities from our non-GAAP results of
operations for all periods presented. This accounting guidance requires
us to recognize significant additional non-cash interest expense based
on the market rate for similar debt instruments that do not contain a
comparable conversion feature. We have allocated a portion of the
proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes to the embedded
conversion feature resulting in a discount on our senior notes. The debt
discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over
the term of the notes using the effective interest method. These
non-cash interest charges are not included in our operating plans and
are not included in management's assessment of our operating
performance. We believe the exclusion of the non-cash interest charges
provides a useful alternative for investors to evaluate the cost
structure of our operations in a manner consistent with our internal
evaluation of our cost structure.

Non-GAAP tax provision adjustments - The non-GAAP tax provision
adjustments are due to the increase in non-GAAP taxable income as
compared to U.S. GAAP taxable income resulting from the non-GAAP
reconciling items detailed in the following table and the jurisdictional
mix of non-GAAP and U.S. GAAP taxable income. The non-GAAP tax provision
adjustments are made to reflect the annual global effective non-GAAP tax
rate for each period.

We disclose the percent change in the results from one period to another
using constant currency to adjust year-over-year measurements for
impacts due to currency fluctuations. Constant currency changes should
be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for changes in
revenues, expenses, income, or other measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We calculate constant currency
changes by converting entities' financial results for the prior year
period that are reported in currencies other than the United States
dollar at the exchange rate in effect for the current period rather than
the previous period.
