TIBCO Software Reports Preliminary Second Quarter Results

PALO ALTO, CA–(Marketwired – Jun 3, 2014) – TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced preliminary financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 1, 2014. TIBCO will report final results for the second quarter on Thursday, June 19, 2014.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, TIBCO expects total revenue to be in the range of $250 to $252 million. License revenue is expected to be in the range of $75 to $76 million. Earnings per share, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), are expected to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.01. Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.13. The combined effect of lower-than-expected profits along with the mix of revenue across products and regions is projected to result in a higher than anticipated tax rate on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.

These expected fiscal second quarter results are preliminary and subject to TIBCO management and independent auditors completing their customary quarterly closing review procedures.

“After a solid first quarter, revenue fell short of expectations in the second quarter, primarily due to lower-than-expected sales of Spotfire,” said Vivek Ranadivé, founder and chief executive officer, TIBCO.

“We again experienced growth this quarter in our core infrastructure and event processing product revenue, but Spotfire sales were less than anticipated. We have several changes under way that we believe will improve Spotfire performance. We also acquired Jaspersoft this quarter, and while not a meaningful contributor to second quarter revenue, it represents an important addition to our analytics strategy going forward,” said Ranadivé.

Management will not be hosting a conference call in association with this announcement. TIBCO will be discussing its second quarter results on a conference call on June 19, 2014 beginning at 4:30 pm ET / 1:30 pm PT.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

TIBCO provides non-GAAP earnings per share data as supplemental information regarding TIBCO’s business performance. TIBCO believes that providing this non-GAAP measure that management uses is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand TIBCO’s financial performance on a trended basis across historical periods. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate TIBCO’s performance using the same methodology and information as used by TIBCO’s management. TIBCO’s management excludes these non-operating charges when it internally evaluates the performance of TIBCO’s business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, performance measurement and the calculation of bonuses and discretionary compensation, because these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. Moreover, management believes this non-GAAP measure reflects the essential revenue generation activities of TIBCO. Accordingly, management excludes from non-GAAP earnings per share the acquisition-related accounting adjustment to deferred revenue assumed in business combinations and excludes stock-based compensation related to employee stock options, amortization of acquired intangible assets, costs related to formal restructuring activities, acquisition-related and other expenses, and non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt, as well as the income tax effects of the foregoing.

Non-GAAP measures are subject to material limitations as these measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute, for GAAP and thus TIBCO’s definition may be different from similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies or analysts. Management compensates for these limitations by evaluating the non-GAAP measure together with the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
