Guidance for full-year 2011:

VASCO is providing guidance for the full-year 2011 as follows:

 

   

Revenue growth of 20% or more for the full-year 2011 over full-year 2010,

 

   

Operating margins, excluding expenses related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, for full-year 2011 are projected to be in the range of 8% to 12% of revenue.

“We are pleased with the results for the fourth quarter of 2010,” stated T. Kendall Hunt, Chairman & CEO. “Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010 were the best in the company’s history when compared to any prior year’s fourth quarter and the third best quarter in our history when compared to all quarters previously reported. In addition to the strong revenue, we made good progress in developing new products, including our DIGIPASS as a Service platform, developed important relationships with new banks in various markets and continued investing in people and processes that we believe will benefit us in 2011 and future years.”

“The results for the fourth quarter were strong from both a revenue and order intake point of view,” said Jan Valcke, VASCO’s President and COO. “During the fourth quarter and the second half of 2010, we saw a large number of deals move from the proposal stage to and through the contract negotiation stage. As a result, our order intake in the fourth quarter and second half of 2010 were the best in the company’s history. In addition to orders received, our pipeline for future deals also remained strong at the end of the year. We expect that order intake and the pipeline for future deals will remain strong throughout 2011.”

Cliff Bown, Executive Vice President and CFO added, “During the fourth quarter of 2010 our working capital balances continued to grow even though our cash balances declined slightly. During the fourth quarter our working capital increased $4.6 million, or 5%, from September 30, 2010 and our net cash balance decreased $0.9 million or 1% from September 30, 2010. For the full year, our net cash balance increased $17.9 million, or 27%, and our working capital increased $9.3 million, or 11%, from December 31, 2009.”

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. We use EBITDA as a measure of performance, a simplified tool for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation and amortization), or deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find that the comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not need to consider the impact of those items on our competitors’ results.

EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While we believe that EBITDA, as defined above, is useful within the context described above, it is in fact incomplete and not a measure that should be used to evaluate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how regulations and the other aforementioned items affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment. Net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP is the most complete measure available today to evaluate all elements of our performance. Similarly, our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, which will be filed as part of our annual report on Form 10-K, provides the full accounting for how we have decided to use resources provided to us from our customers, lenders and shareholders.
