DATALINK REPORTS 2012 FIRST QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS

 

Record First Quarter Revenues and Net Earnings, Up 39% and 24% Year-Over-Year, Respectively

 

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., April 25, 2012 — Datalink (Nasdaq: DTLK), a leading provider of data center infrastructure and services, today reported results for its first quarter that ended March 31, 2012.  Revenues for the quarter increased 39% to a record $119.1 million compared to $85.7 million for the prior-year period.

 

GAAP Results

 

On a GAAP basis, the company reported net earnings of $2.2 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.  This compares to net earnings of $1.7 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011.   Earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2012 were $3.6 million or 3.0% of revenues, compared to $3.0 million or 3.5% of revenues in the first quarter of 2011.

 

Non-GAAP Results

 

Non-GAAP net earnings for the first quarter of 2012 were $2.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net earnings of $2.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.  Earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2012 were $4.9 million or 4.1% of revenues, compare to $3.8 million or 4.5% of revenues in the first quarter of 2011.  A detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables included herein.

 

The company’s results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 include:

 



 

·                  The additional 3.3 million common shares issued in connection with the follow-on stock offering in March 2011.

 

·                  The results of operations from the acquisition of Midwave Corporation, which was completed on October 3, 2011.

 

“Our first-quarter performance includes record revenues for both products and services.  Our quarter-over-quarter revenues grew 39% and our quarterly sequential revenues grew 4% over the record revenues we achieved fourth quarter 2011.  In addition, we experienced a 47% increase in the number of customers spending more than $1 million compared to first quarter 2011, and more than doubled the number of unified data center implementations with a corresponding 4000% increase in revenues to $16.6 million.  Our networking and server revenues have increased from 9% to 16% of the product mix over the last year,” said Datalink President and CEO Paul Lidsky. “These numbers are a clear indication that our strategy of expanding our portfolio of data center products and services to sell and support new integrated data center technologies is fueling strong growth for the company.”

 

Outlook

 

Based on the company’s current backlog and sales pipeline, the company projects revenues of $125 million to $135 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $89.5 million for the second quarter of 2011. The company expects second quarter 2012 net earnings to be between $0.14 and $0.20 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and net earnings of between $0.20 and $0.26 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis.  This compares to net earnings of $0.16 per diluted share and $0.19 per diluted share on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively, for the same period in 2011.

 

Non-GAAP earnings per share exclude the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments from the Incentra acquisition to deferred revenue and costs, integration and transaction costs related to acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and the

 



 

related effects on income taxes. The company estimates this total effect will be approximately $0.06 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain forward-looking statements.  This press release contains forward-looking statements, including our internal projections of anticipated 2012 results, which reflect our views regarding future events and financial performance.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those identified below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated.  The words “aim, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate”, “should” and other expressions which indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.  Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:  the level of continuing demand for storage, including the effects of current economic and credit conditions; competition and pricing pressures and timing of our installations that may adversely affect our revenues and profits; fixed employment costs that may impact profitability if we suffer revenue shortfalls; revenue recognition policies that may unpredictably defer reporting of our revenues; our ability to hire and retain key technical and sales personnel; our dependence on key suppliers; our ability to adapt to rapid technological change; risks associated with integrating possible future acquisitions; fluctuations

 



 

in our quarterly operating results; future changes in applicable accounting rules; and volatility in our stock price. Further, our revenues for any particular quarter are not necessarily reflected by our backlog of contracted orders, which also may fluctuate unpredictably.  We cannot assure that we can grow or maintain our revenue and backlog from current levels.

 

Non-GAAP Details

 

Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact from acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred revenue and costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition intangible assets, integration and transaction costs related to acquisitions, early termination payments related to the Cross acquisition and the related effects on income taxes.  These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results. We include these non-GAAP financial measures in our earnings announcement because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making, such as employee compensation planning. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.
