SAN BRUNO, Calif., Aug. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Responsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:MKTG), a marketing cloud software and services leader, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

For the second quarter of 2013, total revenue increased 25% to $49.5 million, up from $39.5 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Subscription revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $34.3 million, up 25% compared with $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. Professional services revenue was $15.2 million, up 25% compared with $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2012.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $1.6 million compared with break-even in the second quarter of 2012. GAAP net loss per share for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.03 compared with $0.00 in the second quarter of 2012.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenue increased 26.2% to $98.0 million, up from $77.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Subscription revenue for the first half of 2013 was $67.9 million up 24.1% as compared to $54.7 million in the first half of 2012. Professional services revenue was $30.1 million, up 31.3% as compared to $22.9 million in the first half of 2012.

In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating Responsys' business, management believes it is useful to also measure results using non-GAAP net income, which is net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and related income tax effects, as applicable.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share as compared with $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $4.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.

"Responsys' strong second quarter performance is further recognition that the Company is a leader in orchestrating individualized experiences across digital channels, and at massive scale," said CEO Dan Springer. "Our continued investment in product innovation has allowed us to stay at the cutting edge of the industry, maintain a clear, competitive advantage for our customers, and increase the rate of return for their individualized digital marketing programs. We appreciate Gartner recognizing Responsys as a visionary leader in its 2013 Magic Quadrant for CRM Multichannel Campaign Management.

"We have a track record of anticipating emerging digital marketing trends, and our increased investment in sales and marketing is introducing Responsys to new customers and expanding relationships with existing ones," continued Mr. Springer.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of August 5, 2013, Responsys is issuing guidance for the third quarter of 2013 and revising fiscal 2013 guidance as follows:

For the third quarter of 2013, the Company expects revenue to be in the range of $47.0-$48.5 million. Non-GAAP net income is expected to be approximately $0.02 per diluted share. Expected non-GAAP net income for the quarter excludes an estimated $0.2 million in amortization of acquired intangibles and an estimated $3.8 million in stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is based on estimated weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 55.1 million.

Responsys is increasing its outlook for fiscal 2013 revenue from a range of $190-193 million to a range of $195-$198 million as a result of increased traction with new customers, as well as strong usage from existing customers. The Company is revising its expectation for fiscal 2013 non-GAAP net income from approximately $0.18 per diluted share to approximately $0.15 per diluted share to reflect the increased investment in sales and marketing to continue to support the revenue growth and take advantage of significant market opportunities.

Non-GAAP net income for the full year excludes an estimated $1.8 million in amortization of acquired intangibles and an estimated $14.3 million in stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 54.8 million.

Non-GAAP net income outlook for the fiscal year 2013 assumes an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 34%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share on a diluted basis1. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share on a diluted basis1, exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, gain on the acquisitions, and related tax effects. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods and uses these measures in financial reports prepared for management and the Company's board of directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other cloud based companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

The Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management of the Company presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

Forward Looking Statements

The financial projections under Business Outlook, and other forward-looking statements included in this release, including those regarding the Company's future prospects, reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known and involve risks and uncertainties; our actual results may differ materially from those discussed here. These risks and uncertainties include: our ability to acquire and retain customers; whether customers purchase additional functionality and increase their usage; pricing pressures and competitive factors; the uncertain impact of overall global economic conditions, including on customers, prospective customers and partners, renewal rates and length of sales cycles; the fact that the market for cross-channel, cloud based marketing solutions, particularly in emerging channels, is at an early stage of development and may not develop as rapidly as we anticipate; outages, which can affect customer satisfaction or result in reduced revenues; security breaches; our ability to develop, and market acceptance of, new products and services; the impact of any discovered product defects; our ability to manage our growth, both domestically and internationally; our ability to successfully expand our sales force; our ability to utilize personnel and resources efficiently; our ability to maintain profitability; the level of hiring and equity award activity, which will affect the level of stock-based compensation expense; and other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC reports including, but not limited to, our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements including any guidance, whether as a result of events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
