Concur Exceeds Expectations for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2011

Fiscal 2012 revenue growth expected to accelerate to 25% driven by continued strong customer demand in the core business

REDMOND, Wash., November 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Concur (Nasdaq: CNQR), a leading provider of integrated travel and expense management services, today reported financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Concur reported total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 of $95.2 million. Total revenue for the quarter was up 23% from the year-ago quarter and up 6% from the prior quarter. Fiscal 2011 fourth quarter non-GAAP pre-tax income was $20.5 million, or $0.37 per share.

“The fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was an exceptional quarter,” said Steve Singh, chairman and CEO of Concur. “Year-over-year revenue growth of 23% was better than we expected and non-GAAP operating margin of 24% highlighted the earnings leverage of our business model. More importantly, bookings from new customer contracts for the full year grew substantively as we executed against the best demand environment we have seen in years. Driven by fiscal 2011 growth of new customer contracts and the continued strong demand environment we see for our services, we expect to grow fiscal 2012 revenue by 25%.”

Singh continued, “In order to capitalize on the robust demand environment, we will significantly ramp our investments across the business. We expect to double our distribution capacity over the next 24 months, drive the innovation curve in our industry and set the standard for world-class service.”

CONCUR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

About Concur’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. The tables above reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, and they differ from GAAP measures with similar names and from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We strongly urge investors and potential investors in our securities to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this release, and our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the other financial information contained in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Concur’s management believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because it allows investors to view the business through the eyes of management. Further, Concur believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Concur’s operating results because they exclude amounts that Concur excludes as part of its monitoring of operating results and assessing the performance of the business. In addition, Concur believes that its non-GAAP financial measures facilitate the comparison of results for current periods and the business outlook for future periods with results of past periods because the measures provide a special focus on the underlying operating performance of the business relative to expectations.

Concur presents the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP cost of operations, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP systems development and programming expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, and non-GAAP diluted pre-tax income per share. Concur excludes the following items as noted from these non-GAAP financial measures:

 

   

Share-based compensation. Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation, which consist of expenses for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSU”). Concur excludes these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that it does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and the exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of results and business outlook for future periods with results for prior periods.

 

   

Amortization of intangible assets. In accordance with GAAP, operating expenses include amortization of software and other technology assets and other purchased intangible assets such as customer lists and covenants not to compete. Concur excludes these items from its non-GAAP financial measures because they are non-cash expenses that Concur does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and Concur believes that doing so facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.

 

   

Acquisition and other related costs. New authoritative guidance on business combinations requires us to record in the income statement certain items that at the time of an acquisition would have been recorded to goodwill under the old authoritative guidance. We have excluded the effect of acquisition and other related costs from certain non-GAAP financial measures in order to facilitate the comparison of our business outlook for future periods with results from prior periods when such expenses were recorded to goodwill. We also believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our operations. Acquisition and other related costs include transaction fees, due diligence costs, travel expenses, and other one-time direct costs associated with strategic activity in which we may deploy capital.

 

   

Revaluation of contingent consideration. New authoritative guidance on business combinations requires contingent consideration to be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The new authoritative guidance also requires that changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date be recorded in our statements of income. Under the old authoritative guidance, contingent consideration would have been included as a component of deal consideration based on the actual amount paid, if any, when the contingency was resolved. Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude the revaluation of contingent consideration, which is the change in fair value of the liability-classified acquisition-related contingent consideration. Concur excludes the unrealized gains or losses from the re-measurement of the contingent consideration from its non-GAAP financial measures in order to facilitate the comparison of our business outlook for future periods with results from prior periods when contingent consideration was recorded to goodwill. We also believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our operations.


   

Contingent consideration (included in compensation expense). Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude contingent consideration included in compensation expense which relates to the potential cash payment to certain TripIt employees whose right to receive such payment is forfeited if they terminate their employment. The contingent cash payment that these employees are entitled to receive is part of the consideration that all TripIt shareholders received from Concur in exchange for their TripIt shares. As receipt of the contingent payment is subject to continued employment, GAAP requires that it be accounted for as compensation expense. Concur excludes this item from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is a component of the deal consideration that it does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and the exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of results and business outlook for future periods with results for prior periods.

 

   

Noncontrolling interest joint venture. Noncontrolling interest joint venture includes income or loss from operations due to our joint venture partner and is excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP operating income because it is unrelated to our ownership in the venture.

 

   

Loss from equity method investments. For investments under the equity method, Concur recognizes its share of the earnings or losses of an investee and adjusts the carrying amount of an investment for its share of the earnings or losses of the investee, including adjustments to recognize certain differences between our carrying value and our equity in net assets, after the date of investments. Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures excluded the earnings or losses from GAAP income because it is unrelated to our ongoing operations and is significantly impacted by factors outside our direct control.

 

   

Accretion of discount on senior convertible notes. In accordance with GAAP, interest expense on the senior convertible notes includes the accretion of the discount, which is a non-cash expense that Concur does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business.

 

   

Income tax expense (benefit). Concur excludes this expense from certain non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is largely a non-cash expense that Concur does not consider a meaningful component of our operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and the exclusion of this expense (benefit) facilitates the comparison of our business outlook for future periods with results for prior periods, which did not include income tax expense (benefit).

Except as noted below, Concur believes that all of the following considerations apply equally to each of the non-GAAP financial measures that we present:

 

   

Concur’s management uses non-GAAP operating income (including the derived non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP diluted pre-tax income per share in internal reports used by management in monitoring and making decisions regarding Concur’s business. For example, these measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management, and in quarterly reports to Concur’s Board of Directors. Concur also uses non-GAAP pre-tax diluted income per share as a measure to determine executive cash incentive compensation.

 

   

Because share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, accretion of discount on senior convertible notes and income tax expense (benefit) are largely non-cash in nature, Concur believes that non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP diluted pre-tax income per share provide a more focused view of the operations of its business. In particular, share-based compensation amounts are difficult to forecast because the magnitude of the charges depends upon the volume and timing of RSU 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 Concur’s common stock. Excluding these amounts improves comparability of the performance of the business across periods.

 

   

The principal limitation of Concur’s non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.

 

   

To mitigate this limitation, Concur presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results, and recommends that investors do not give undue weight to its non-GAAP financial measures. Concur notes that the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is reflected in fully-diluted shares outstanding used in calculating GAAP net income per share and non-GAAP diluted pre-tax income per share.
