eGain Announces Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

Sunnyvale, Calif. (August 29, 2012) – eGain Communications (NASDAQ: EGAN), a leading provider of cloud and on-site customer interaction software, today announced results for its fiscal 2012 fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2012.

“In fiscal 2012, as planned, we significantly expanded distribution, adding new global partners like SAP. At the same time, we invested in client success by growing our global services team and accelerating product innovation,” said Ashu Roy, eGain’s CEO.

“Results of our investments are starting to show. New orders for the fourth quarter were the strongest of any quarter in a decade. In the second half of fiscal 2012, we also saw a significant increase in demand for our hosted solutions. In fact, our new hosted contractual commitments were up 384% for the six months when compared to the same period last year. While this booking mix shift to hosting from license negatively impacted our revenue and profitability for the year, it delivers increased revenue visibility for us in fiscal 2013 and beyond.”

Mr. Roy concluded, “Looking ahead, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the market dynamics, including recent industry consolidation. We are pleased with our sales pipeline and our prospects for meaningful growth in fiscal 2013.”

Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results:

Revenue: Total revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter was $10.6 million, compared to $12.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. License revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter was $2.3 million, compared to $5.6 million for fourth quarter last year. Recurring revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter was $6.3 million, an increase of 21% on a year-over-year basis.

For the full fiscal year 2012, total revenue was $43.4 million, compared to $44.1 million for fiscal 2011. License revenue was $11.1 million compared to $17.4 for fiscal 2011. The year-over-year decrease in license revenue is primarily attributable to the continued shift to hosting delivery model. Recurring revenue was $23.6 million, an increase of 18% on a year-over-year basis. Professional services revenue was $8.7 million, an increase of 31% on a year-over-year basis.

For the full fiscal year 2012, gross profit was $29.9 million, compared to $33.1 million in fiscal 2011. Gross margin was 69%, compared to 75% for fiscal 2011. This decrease in gross margin is primarily attributed to the shift from license revenue to more hosting based revenue, as a percentage of total revenue. The recurring revenue gross margin increased to 77%, from 74% for fiscal 2011.

Earnings per Share: Net loss for the fiscal fourth quarter was $3.4 million, or a loss of $0.14 per share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.09 per share on a basic and $0.08 per share on a diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of last year.
