EFI Reports Q4 2010 Results

Revenue Increases 27% Year-Over-Year With Non-GAAP EPS of $0.28


FOSTER CITY, Calif., Jan. 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced its results for the fourth quarter of 2010. For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company reported revenue of $145.0 million, compared to fourth quarter 2009 revenues of $114.0 million.

GAAP net income was $7.6 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to GAAP net loss of $(3.4) million or $(0.07) per diluted share for the same period in 2009. Q4 2010 GAAP net income of $7.6 million was primarily driven by a strong revenue quarter and a one-time $2.0 million benefit for the renewal of the 2010 federal R&D tax credit, retroactive to January 1, 2010.

GAAP net income was $7.0 million or $0.15 per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to GAAP net loss of $(2.2) million or $(0.04) per diluted share for the same period in 2009.

Non-GAAP net income was $13.3 million or $0.28 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.3 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the same period in 2009.

Non-GAAP net income was $27.8 million or $0.59 per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(10.7) million or $(0.22) per diluted share for the same period in 2009.

"EFI finished 2010 with an exceptionally strong quarter across the board. We delivered 27% revenue growth and generated more earnings and cash from operations than we have produced in any quarter since 2007," said Guy Gecht, CEO of EFI. "Capping a very strong year for EFI, the fourth quarter results are further evidence that our strategy positioning the Company in the highest growth segments of digital printing is working. We look for this solid execution and momentum to continue into 2011."

Previously reported revenue in the Fiery and APPS operating segments for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 has been revised to conform to the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 presentation, reflecting the reclassification of Proofing software revenue from the APPS to the Fiery operating segment. Total revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 has not changed.

EFI will discuss the Company's financial results by conference call at 2:00 p.m. PST today. Instructions for listening to the conference call over the Web are available on the investor relations portion of EFI's website at www.efi.com.

About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments

To supplement our consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income (loss) and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring costs, expenses and gains. 

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding non-cash expenses, significant recurring and non-recurring items that we believe are important to understanding our financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company's activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company's operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company.

We compute non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings per diluted share to remove the impact of recurring amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, as well as restructuring related and non-recurring charges and gains and the tax effect of these adjustments. Such non-recurring charges and gains include end-of-life inventory purchase and related obsolescence, project abandonment costs, asset impairment charges, certain legal settlements, our sale of certain real estate assets, acquisition-related transaction costs and legal expenses, and costs to integrate such acquisitions into our business. Examples of these excluded items are:

  • Recurring charges and gains, including:
  • Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Intangible assets acquired to date are being amortized on a straight-line basis.
  • Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718, Stock Compensation.
  • Non-recurring charges and gains, including:
  • Excess solvent inventories and related end-of-life purchases.
  • Acquisition-related transaction costs and legal expenses associated with the acquisition of privately held Golflane Limited, a UK private limited company, the parent holding company of Radius Solutions Incorporated ("Radius"), which closed on July 2, 2010.
  • Restructuring and Other consists of:

          -- Restructuring related charges. We have incurred restructuring charges as we reduce the number and size of our facilities and
              the size of our workforce.
          -- Integration expenses incurred to integrate Radius into our business.

  • Asset impairment costs consist primarily of equipment and non-cancellable purchase orders incurred relating to a planned product that was cancelled, a facility closure, and the write-off of a private minority investment.
  • Gain on sale of building & land. On January 29, 2009, we sold a portion of the Foster City, California campus for a final amount of $137.3 million to Gilead Sciences, Inc., resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $80.0 million as of June 30, 2009.
  • Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. After removing the non-GAAP items, we apply the principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, to estimate the non-GAAP income tax provision in each jurisdiction in which we operate. 
  • We have excluded the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of $8.7 million from our non-GAAP net income (loss) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, to facilitate comparability of our operating performance from period to period.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures, used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

For more information on the non-GAAP adjustments, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income" included in this press release.

We recognized a tax benefit of $2.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2010 due to reenactment of the federal R&D tax credit, retroactive to January 1, 2010. This benefit has been included in both our GAAP and non-GAAP results.
