ST. BERNARD SOFTWARE (DBA EDGEWAVE) ANNOUNCES ITS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2011

SAN DIEGO, CA, May 17, 2011 -- St. Bernard Software, Inc. (dba EdgeWave) (OTCBB/OTCQB: EWVE - News), a leader in Secure Content Management (“SCM”) solutions, today announced unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 
First Quarter 2011 Financial and Operational Summary
 
 
 
Net billings* for the 2011 first quarter totaled $3.9 million, a decrease of approximately 19% compared to the same period in 2010.
 
 
 
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the comparable period in 2010 remained relatively constant at approximately $4.4 million.
 
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2011 were $2.2 million, down from $2.8 million as of March 31, 2010.
 
 
 
Cash used by operating activities was approximately $1.4 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $273,000 for the same period in 2010.
 
 
 
Q1 2011 operating expenses were $4.8 million, an increase of approximately 37% from $3.5 million for the same period in 2010.  This increase is the result of additional expenses from the integration of operations associated with the Red Condor transaction as well as rebranding expense and additional sales expense related to restructuring of the sales organization.
 
 
 
Year to date net loss increased to $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 from a net loss of $149,000 for the same period in 2010, mainly a result of additional operating expenses associated with the Red Condor transaction as well as rebranding expense and additional sales expense related to the restructuring of the sales organization.
 

“During the fourth quarter, the Company significantly restructured its sales and marketing teams,” said Lou Ryan, CEO of EdgeWave. “This restructuring took longer than planned and limited our sales growth during the first quarter of 2011.  During this transition, we diligently recruited top talent in the field to strategically align our internal and external sales teams. We also re-tooled our channel distribution and have taken steps to architect a comprehensive Managed Service Provider (“MSP”) program to better serve our growing network of MSPs.  We are already beginning to see the effects of these changes in pipeline growth and sales. We believe the Company is now in a position to fully execute to its sales plan for the balance of 2011. We believe these changes will allow us to enjoy double digit billings growth during the remainder of the year from our new business efforts as supported by current leading business indicators.”
 
First Quarter Financial Results and 2011 Net Billings*
 
Net billings* for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $3.9 million, a decrease of approximately 19% from $4.8 million for the same period in 2010.  EdgeWave reported revenues of $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Cash and cash equivalents were $2.2 million compared to $2.6 million at December 31, 2010 and $2.8 million at March 31, 2010.

* Net billings represent the amount of subscription contracts billed to customers net of discounts and are not numerical measurements that can be calculated in accordance with GAAP.  The Company provides this measurement in its financial performance because this measurement provides a consistent basis for understanding the Company’s sales activities for the current period. The Company believes the billing measurement is useful to investors because the GAAP measurements of revenue and deferred revenue in the current period include subscription contracts commenced in the prior periods.  The rollforward of deferred revenue (which includes net billings and revenue) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 is set forth at the end of this press release.

Business Outlook

Mr. Ryan added, “Our team worked tirelessly in Q1 on numerous initiatives. We re-launched the Company as EdgeWave, revamped our sales and marketing strategy, restructured our sales organization, hired numerous new sales people, and shipped two major product updates. We clearly lost some new business momentum in Q1 and saw a few key deals push to Q2.  That said, we believe that our hard work is paying off at this point and that we are tracking in the right direction.”
