EDGEWAVE, INC. ANNOUNCES ITS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

SAN DIEGO, CA, November 15, 2011 – EdgeWave, Inc. (“EdgeWave”, “we”, or the “Company”) (OTCBB/OTCQB: EWVE), a leader in Secure Content Management (“SCM”) solutions, today announced unaudited financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
  
Third Quarter 2011 Financial and Operational Summary
 
 
Net billings* for the 2011 third quarter totaled $5.8 million, an increase of approximately 3% compared to the same period in 2010 and 16% compared to Q2 2011.
     
 
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased to $4.4 million as compared to $4.6 million for the comparable period in 2010.
     
 
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2011 were $2.3 million, up from $2.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and down from $2.8 million as of September 30, 2010.
     
 
Cash used by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $726,000 compared to $880,000 for the same period in 2010, an 18% improvement.  Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $2.2 million, an increase of approximately 134% from $962,000 for the same period in 2010.
     
 
Q3 2011 operating expenses were $3.8 million, a decrease of approximately 17% from $4.6 million last quarter and 15% from $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The recent decrease of 17% in operating expenses during Q3 2011 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011 relates to changes in our cost structure put in place at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
     
 
Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $584,000, a 51% improvement over the same period in 2010.
     
 
Year to date net loss increased to $3.7 million as of September 30, 2011 from a net loss of $1.9 million for the same period in 2010, mainly a result of additional operating expenses associated with the Red Condor transaction in 2010, as well as rebranding expense and additional sales expense related to the restructuring of the sales organization.
   
“We believe most business indicators in Q3 were very positive,” said Lou Ryan, CEO of Edgewave.    “We introduced a full suite of hosted email security services to a very receptive marketplace.  Our cash burn declined substantially due to our organizational streamlining and as a result, we saw our balance sheet improve. I believe that our efforts to transform our business took a major step forward in Q3.”

Financial Results and Net Billings*
 
Net billings* for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $5.8 million as compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2010 and $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2011.
   
Cash and cash equivalents were $2.3 million up from $2.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and down from $2.8 million at September 30, 2010.
   
EdgeWave reported revenues of $4.4 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively; a decrease of approximately $200,000 compared to the same quarter in 2010.  This decrease was mainly attributed to a decrease in appliance revenue.  Appliance revenue is fully recognized at the time of sale.  The Company sold fewer appliances in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 2010.  This is the result of fewer upgrades and the shift of our customers towards Software as a Service (“SaaS”) based products.
   
Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $3.8 million compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $4.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The Company assumed additional operating expenses during Q3 of 2010 as part of the Red Condor transaction resulting in higher operating expenses as compared to previous quarters. The recent decrease of 17% in operating expenses during Q3 2011 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011 relates to changes in our cost structure put in place at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
   
Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $584,000 compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year.  This improvement of 51% is mainly the result of changes in our cost structure implemented at the end of the second quarter along with the streamlining of certain processes which resulted in lower costs of sales.
   
Cash used by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 18% from $762,000 compared to $880,000 for the same period in 2010.  Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $2.2 million, an increase of approximately 134% from $962,000 for the same period in 2010.  Year to date operating activities as of September 2011 includes nine months of assumed operating expenses as a result of the Red Condor transaction that was effective August 2010, while year to date September 2010 operating activities only includes Red Condor operations for two months.
  
* 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 second quarter ended September 30, 2011 is set forth at the end of this press release.
  
Business Outlook
 
The Company recently released its new ePrism suite of email security services, an expansion of the EdgeWave Email Security Platform (formerly Red Condor).  The Product combines award-winning email security and archiving with proprietary email continuity, data loss protection and email encryption services, using an integrated management, provisioning and reporting platform.  Edgewave is very excited about the current market response and interest.
  
In order to support the Company’s growth plans the Company proposes to issue a combination of term and convertible debt to raise between $3 and $4 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds to support the Company’s growth plans and intends to invest it almost exclusively in sales and marketing support with special emphasis on the Company’s new ePrism and award-winning product suite.  The securities offered will not be registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as Amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from registration requirements.

“We purchased Red Condor because we had a vision of moving our products and services into the Cloud and needed Red Condor’s technology and expertise,” said Mr. Ryan.   “Red Condor helped us realize our product and company vision rapidly, by moving our web and email security technology into the cloud on their proprietary and state-of-the-art SaaS platform.   Today, we have a comprehensive, multi-format product offering that our customers appreciate and we are clearly seeing the strategy behind our technology fusion of Red Condor and iPrism begin to pay off.  Though much work remains, the company transformation we started last year is largely complete,” he added.

“We are currently raising capital and expect to finish our efforts within 90 days.  The funds will be used for new domestic and international sales and marketing programs.   We believe investments in these areas will produce accelerated growth in 2012.”
