November 2, 2011, PLEASANTON, CA — Ellie Mae^®(NYSE Amex: ELLI), the provider of software and automation solutions for mortgage bankers, community banks, credit unions and other mortgage lenders, today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2011 increased 23% to $14.7 million, compared to $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2010. Software Solutions revenue increased 30% to $11.8 million, compared to $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2010.

Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010. Included in the results for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.4 million of one-time expenses related to the acquisition of Del Mar Datatrac.

Included in net income and adjusted net income for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, was a one-time tax benefit of $266,000 which resulted from a refund of prior years’ R&D tax credits.

On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $2.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2011 was $2.3 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2010.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 20% to $36.7 million, compared to $30.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Software Solutions revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 24% to $29.5 million, compared to $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Network revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased 8% to $7.3 million, compared to $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(1.1) million, or $(0.33) per diluted share (($0.07) per pro forma diluted share including the conversion of 11.8 million shares of convertible preferred stock in connection with the IPO), for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $0.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.2 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their related GAAP financial measures is set forth below.

Key Operating Metrics as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, excluding the Del Mar Datatrac acquisition:

•

The number of lender users actively using the company’s Encompass enterprise solution (“active lender users”) increased 10% year over year to 43,183;

•

Of all active lender users, 20,349 or 47%, were using the SaaS version of Encompass, an increase of 78% year over year;

•

Of all active SaaS lender users, 16,196, or 80%, subscribed to the company’s bundled success-based-pricing model (SBP), representing a 139% increase year over year;

•

4,050 SaaS SBP users were sold, or booked, during the quarter, including 1,910 new users and 2,140 conversions of existing licensed Encompass users to the SBP model;

•

Lender Encompass revenue for the third quarter of 2011 increased 27% to $12.1 million as compared to the third quarter of 2010; and

•

Average revenue per active lender user in the third quarter of 2011 increased 12% over the comparable period in 2010 to $286.

“We continued to deliver strong financial performance in the third quarter, with record quarterly revenue and solid growth in our user base,” stated Sig Anderman, President and CEO of Ellie Mae. “Our results are particularly notable in light of the continued decline in mortgage origination volume and the overall macroeconomic challenges.

“During the quarter, we also strengthened our position as an industry-leading provider of automated solutions for the residential mortgage industry by completing the acquisition of Del Mar Datatrac, which we expect will accelerate our growth by significantly expanding our lender customer base. The acquisition was completed in mid-August, and we are pleased with its early success. Several Datatrac customers have already signed agreements to migrate to the Encompass success-based-pricing model. Integration is progressing as planned and the new integrated product offerings are on track, the first of which we expect to introduce in the first quarter of 2012.

“We believe our performance validates our strategy and demonstrates the attraction of our comprehensive solutions to lenders who need to meet the increasing regulatory challenges and demands for quality and efficiency. Our continued execution gives us confidence in achieving our revenue guidance for 2011,” concluded Mr. Anderman.

2011 Financial Outlook

The company reaffirmed its 2011 consolidated revenue outlook in the range of $51 to $53 million. Factoring in the increase in amortization from the Datatrac acquisition, net income for 2011 is expected to be in the range of $0.1 million to $1.1 million, or $0.01 to $0.05 per diluted share. Adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $2.6 million to $3.6 million, or $0.12 to $0.17 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $3.8 million to $5.3 million.

¹	All share and per share information referenced throughout this release and in the accompanying financial tables has been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock that occurred on April 14, 2011.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ellie Mae provides investors with adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance of net income (loss) as part of its overall assessment of its performance. Adjusted net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) plus amortization of acquired intangibles, non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition costs. EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition costs. Ellie Mae uses adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance because they enable period to period comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by variations in the age of book depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, and changes in interest expense and interest income that are influenced by capital market conditions. The company also believes it is useful to exclude non-cash, stock-based compensation expense from adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA because the amount of non-cash expense associated with stock-based awards made at certain prices and points in time (a) do not necessarily reflect how the company’s business is performing at any particular time and (b) can vary significantly between periods due to the timing of new stock-based awards. These non-GAAP measures are not measurements of the company’s financial performance under GAAP and have limitations as analytical tools. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) or operating income (loss) or other financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the company’s profitability or liquidity. The company cautions that other companies in Ellie Mae’s industry may calculate adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA differently than the company does, further limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA is included in the tables below.
