Customers: In the fourth quarter, 304 new businesses chose Taleo’s Talent Management solutions for recruiting, performance, learning and/or compensation management, including: DHL Global, Panda Restaurant Group, Southern California Edison, St. Joseph Health systems and Universal City Studios. A record 16 new contracts in the fourth quarter were larger than $250,000 in first year application revenue, underscoring the market interest in larger, global deployments and in multiple component suite solutions. The performance management product line performed exceptionally well with a record 57 deals in our fourth quarter and over 170 deals in 2010.

Cash: Cash from operations for full year 2010 was $35.8 million, down 29% from $50.7 million in 2009. Cash flow from operations was down in 2010 due primarily to the impact of operating liabilities assumed in our 2010 acquisitions of Worldwide Compensation and Learn.com, and the timing of fourth quarter 2010 billings. Total cash and cash equivalents finished the year at $141.6 million, a decrease of $102.6 million from the prior year, which includes approximately $137.5 million in net outflow from the company’s acquisitions of Worldwide Compensation and Learn.com in 2010.
