Exhibit 99.1


SAN DIEGO, CA, April 4, 2011 – EdgeWave, Inc. (“EdgeWave”, “we”, or the “Company”) (OTCBB/OTCQB: EWVE), a leading provider in Secure Content Management (“SCM”) solutions, announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Fourth Quarter and Year to Date 2011 Financial and Operational Summary
 
   
Net billings* for the 2011 fourth quarter totaled $4.0 million, a decrease of approximately 26% compared to the same period in 2010.
 
   
Net billings* for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 totaled $18.6 million, a decrease of approximately 11% compared to the same period in 2010.
 
   
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011 decreased to $4.5 million as compared to $4.8 million for the comparable period in 2010.
 
   
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $2.6 million.
 
   
Cash used by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $756,000 compared to $127,000 for the same period in 2010, a 495% increase.  Cash used by operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $3.0 million, an increase of approximately 176% from $1.1 million for the same period in 2010.
 
   
Q4 2011 operating expenses decreased 18% from $4.9 million in 2010 to $4.0 million in the same period in 2011, as the result of changes to our cost structure put in place at the end of June 2011.
 
   
Loss from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $961,000, a 40% improvement over the same period in 2010. Year to date net loss increased to $4.6 million through December 31, 2011 from a net loss of $3.6 million for the same period in 2010, mainly a result of additional operating expenses associated with the Red Condor transaction in 2010 offset by changes to our cost structure put in place at the end of June 2011.

“What a difference a year makes.   In late 2010 we purchased Red Condor’s (“RC”) business and assets because we had a vision of moving our products and services into the cloud and felt that adding RC’s technology and expertise would significantly enhance and accelerate this initiative” said Mr. Ryan, CEO of EdgeWave.  “RC 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 RC and iPrism begin to pay off. Though some work remains, 15 months later, the company transformation we started in late 2010 is largely complete,” he added.

“Our current sales related activity is strong,” continued Mr. Ryan.  “Our investments in sales, marketing and product development are tracking according to plan.  We believe our decision to restructure our sales team with an emphasis on inside sales is being validated daily with new business and pipeline growth. Our marketing organization is bringing in record amounts of new leads for our prospecting team. Our product development team has also been very busy working on exciting new releases for 2012.  I remain very confident that we will achieve our internal sales and expense plan in 2012”, stated Mr. Ryan.



 
 

 

Financial Results and Net Billings*
 
Net billings* for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were $4.0 million as compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2010, a decrease of 26%.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, net billings* totaled $18.6 million, an 11% decrease compared to $20.8 million for the same period in 2010.

EdgeWave reported revenues of $4.5 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively; a decrease of approximately $293,000, or 6%.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company reported revenues of $18.0 million and $18.1 million, respectively.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were $4.0 million compared to $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.  This decrease of 18% is the result of changes made to our cost structure at the end of June 2011.

Loss from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $961,000, a 40% improvement over the same period in 2010. Year to date net loss increased to $4.6 million through December 31, 2011 from a net loss of $3.6 million for the same period in 2010, mainly a result of additional operating expenses associated with the Red Condor transaction in 2010 offset by changes to our cost structure put in place at the end of June 2011.

Cash used by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 495% from $756,000 compared to $127,000 for the same period in 2010.  Cash used by operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $3.0 million, an increase of approximately 176% from $1.1 million for the same period in 2010.  Year to date operating activities as of December 2011 includes twelve months of assumed operating expenses as a result of the Red Condor transaction that was effective August 2010, while year to date December 2010 operating activities only included Red Condor operations for five 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 fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 is set forth at the end of this press release.
