Kenexa Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter 2010
WAYNE, Pa. – August 3, 2010 – Kenexa (Nasdaq: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
For the second quarter of 2010, Kenexa reported total revenue of $44.9 million, an increase of 14% compared to $39.5 million for the second quarter of 2009. Within total revenue, subscription revenue was $36.1 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 6% compared with $34.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. Professional services and other revenue was $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 61% compared to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2009.
“We are pleased with the company’s performance in the second quarter, which was highlighted by accelerated revenue growth that exceeded our guidance, continued strong growth in deferred revenue and cash from operations that materially exceeded our reported profitability,” said Rudy Karsan, Chief Executive Officer of Kenexa.
Karsan added, “The pace of economic recovery remains uncertain, however, our longer-term confidence continues to grow. Kenexa is competing for and winning opportunities with a growing number of the largest Global 5,000 organizations. In addition, we believe our competitive position is growing stronger as a result of our technology innovation and increased investments to raise awareness relative to Kenexa’s unique end-to-end, integrated HR value proposition. As a result, we are increasing the company’s full year revenue growth target to approach or exceed double digit levels in 2010, and we are continuing to invest in sales and R&D to position Kenexa for market share gains as the economy and IT spending environment improve.”
Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangibles was $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders which excludes the items listed above was $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, which also excludes one-time charges related to the retirement of a line of credit facility. Non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders was $0.13 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to $0.18 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2009.
Kenexa’s income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010, determined in accordance with GAAP, was $1.7 million, compared to $1.9 million for the same period of 2009. GAAP net income allocable to common shareholders was $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the same period of 2009.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Kenexa had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $65.5 million at June 30, 2010, an increase from $62.6 million at the end of the prior quarter. The Company generated cash from operations of $7.2 million during the second quarter, which was partially offset by capital expenditures. Deferred revenue was $57.8 million at June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.3 million compared to the end of the first quarter 2010 and an increase of 37% from June 30, 2009.

Business Outlook
Based on information as of today, August 3, 2010, the Company is issuing guidance for the third quarter and full year 2010 as follows:
Third Quarter 2010*: The Company expects revenue to be $45 million to $47 million, and non-GAAP operating income to be $3.4 million to $3.6 million. Assuming an effective tax rate for reporting purposes of approximately 20% and approximately 23.2 million shares outstanding, Kenexa expects its non-GAAP net income per diluted share to be $0.12 to $0.13.
Full Year 2010*: The Company expects revenue to be $177.5 million to $181.5 million, and non-GAAP operating income to be $14.5 million to $16.5 million. Assuming an effective tax rate for reporting purposes of approximately 20% and approximately 23.2 million shares outstanding, Kenexa expects its non-GAAP net income per diluted share to be $0.52 to $0.59.
*includes the anticipated contribution from the acquisition of Centre for High Performance Development (CHPD). Management currently expects CHPD to contribute approximately $1.0 million and $2.5 million to Kenexa’s revenue for the third quarter and full year 2010, respectively. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on Kenexa’s non-GAAP operating income or non-GAAP net income per diluted share.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain “forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts and statements identified by words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" or words of similar meaning. These statements may contain, among other things, guidance as to future revenue and earnings, operations, expected benefits from acquisitions, prospects of the business generally, intellectual property and the development of products. These statements are based on our current beliefs or expectations and are inherently subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in Kenexa’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as revised or supplemented by Kenexa’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory factors, Kenexa’s ability to implement business and acquisition strategies or to complete or integrate acquisitions. Kenexa does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Kenexa believes that non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Kenexa’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP results to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining executive incentive compensation, and for budget and planning purposes. These measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and in quarterly financial reports presented to 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 its financial measures with other companies in the Company’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Management of the Company does not consider such non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to such measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of such non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which charges are excluded from the 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. Kenexa urges investors and potential investors in the Company’s securities to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures which it includes in press releases announcing earnings information, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
We have not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the directly comparable GAAP measures because, due primarily to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is available to us without unreasonable efforts.
Kenexa presents the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: non-GAAP income from operations; non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders’; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP sales and marketing expense; non-GAAP general and administrative expense; non-GAAP research and development expense; non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share as described below.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following:
Share-based compensation expense. Share-based compensation expense consists of expenses for stock options and stock awards that the Company began recording in accordance with ASC 718 during the first quarter of 2006. Share-based compensation was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Share-based compensation expenses are excluded in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures because share-based compensation amounts are difficult to forecast. This is due in part to the magnitude of the charges which depends upon the volume and timing of stock option grants, which are unpredictable and can vary dramatically from period to period, and external factors such as interest rates and the trading price and volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that this exclusion provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating results because these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate the comparison of results for future periods with results from past periods. The dilutive effect of all outstanding options is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. In accordance with GAAP, operating expenses include amortization of acquired intangible assets which are amortized over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that such exclusion facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies in the same industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.
Charges related to retirement of line of credit facility. The Company terminated its secured credit facility in May 2009 and, as a result, wrote off its deferred financing fees of $0.3 million. Because these charges were non-recurring in nature the Company has excluded them from its non-GAAP income to facilitate a more meaningful comparison to the current period’s results.
