Websense Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results

SAN DIEGO—October 23, 2012—Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2012.

“In the third quarter, we had double-digit growth in sales to new customers and we started to see a recovery in our international sales territories, with sales outside the U.S. growing by 14 percent,” said Gene Hodges, Websense® CEO.  “While our customer retention rates remain solid, we were negatively impacted by fewer upgrades from our installed base in the U.S. Looking ahead, we see good opportunities to upgrade our customers and increase new customer sales. The need and awareness for content security is increasing, and security experts recognize we have the best solutions to protect against data theft and advanced attacks.”

Third Quarter 2012 GAAP Financial Highlights
Revenues of $90.4 million, compared with $92.1 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Software and service revenues of $82.3 million, compared with $81.8 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Appliance revenues of $8.1 million, which consisted of approximately $6.6 million in current-period appliance sales and approximately $1.5 million of deferred appliance revenue primarily from pre-2011 appliance sales, compared with $10.3 million of appliance revenues in the third quarter of 2011, which consisted of approximately $7.7 million in current-period appliance sales and the remainder from deferred appliance revenue primarily from pre-2011 appliance sales.
Operating income of $13.8 million, compared with $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Provision for income taxes of $4.6 million, compared with $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Net income of $8.5 million, or 23 cents per diluted share, compared with net income of $8.1 million, or 20 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011.
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 36.8 million, compared with 40.4 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Cash flow from operations of $5.6 million, compared with $16.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. Cash flow from operations includes one-time tax payments of $14.7 million relating to the company's settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service of certain audit adjustments for tax years 2005 through 2007. The company had expected these payments to total $15 to $16 million in the third quarter.

Third Quarter 2012 Non-GAAP1 Financial Highlights
Billings of $81.5 million, a decrease of three percent compared with the third quarter of 2011. Currency exchange rates had a negative impact on billings of approximately $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared with the prevailing exchange rates in effect during the third quarter of 2011.
TRITON™ solution billings of $49.4 million, an increase of nine percent compared with the third quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP operating income of $20.3 million, compared with non-GAAP operating income of $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP operating margin in the third quarter of 2012, calculated as a percentage of revenues, was 22.4 percent, compared with 23.7 percent in the third quarter of 2011.
Billings-based operating margin of 14.8 percent, compared with billings-based operating margin of 17.9 percent in the third quarter of 2011.

Non-cash items related to the recognition of revenue and costs associated with pre-2011 appliance billings:
Remaining deferred revenue of $3.9 million from pre-2011 appliance billings (as of September 30, 2012) that will continue to be recognized ratably according to the original subscription periods, including $1.2 million to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012 (compared with $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011).
Remaining deferred costs of $1.9 million from pre-2011 appliance billings (as of September 30, 2012) that will continue to be recognized ratably according to the original subscription periods, including $0.5 million to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012 (compared with $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011).
On January 1, 2011, Websense was required to adopt Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13 (Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements) and ASU 2009-14 (Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements), which require the immediate recognition of appliance revenues upon sale. Prior to January 1, 2011, the company recognized revenue and costs from appliance sales ratably according to the original subscription terms. The schedules below summarize the actual and expected recognition of remaining deferred appliance revenues and costs by quarter for 2011 and 2012:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release provides financial measures for non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses, operating margin, income from operations, provision for income taxes, net income, and diluted earnings per share that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding performance that enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate the company's operating results, trends, and prospects and to compare current operating results with historic operating results. Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011 are provided at the end of this news release.

This news release also includes financial measures for various categories of billings, billings operating margin and other billings-related measures that are not numerical measures that can be calculated in accordance with GAAP. Billings-based non-GAAP operating margin is calculated like revenue-based non-GAAP operating margin, but uses billings as the top-line measure and excludes deferred appliance costs to match current period sales activities with current period costs. Websense provides these measurements in reporting financial performance because these measurements provide a consistent basis for understanding the company's sales activities in the current period. The company believes that these measurements are useful to investors because the GAAP measurements of revenues and deferred revenue in the current period include subscription contracts commenced in prior periods. The roll forward of deferred revenue (which includes billings and revenues) for the third quarter of 2012 is set forth at the end of this news release.

(1) Share-based compensation. Consists of non-cash expenses for employee stock options, restricted stock units and our employee stock purchase plan determined in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. When evaluating the performance of our business and developing short and long-term plans, we do not consider share-based compensation charges. Although share-based compensation is necessary to attract and retain quality employees, our consideration of share-based compensation places its primary emphasis on overall shareholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types, we believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation allows for more accurate comparison of our financial results to previous periods. In addition, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of the application of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation on our operating results.
(2) Amortization of acquired technology and other intangible assets. When conducting internal development of intangible assets (including developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks, etc.), GAAP accounting rules require that we expense the costs as incurred. In the case of acquired businesses, however, we are required to allocate a portion of the purchase price to the accounting value assigned to intangible assets acquired and amortize this amount over the estimated useful lives of the acquired intangibles. The acquired company, in most cases, has itself previously expensed the costs incurred to develop the acquired intangible assets, and the purchase price allocated to these assets is not necessarily reflective of the cost we would incur in developing the intangible asset. We eliminate these amortization charges from our non-GAAP operating results to provide better comparability of pre- and post-acquisition operating results and comparability to results of businesses utilizing internally developed intangible assets.
(3) Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The company's annual non-GAAP effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the company's estimated annual non-GAAP tax expense by its estimated annual non-GAAP taxable income. The company's estimated non-GAAP taxable income is determined by adjusting its estimated GAAP taxable income for its non-GAAP adjustments on a country-by-country basis. The company determines its annual estimated non-GAAP tax expense by adding together the estimated non-GAAP tax expense for each country based on each country's applicable tax rate. The company determines its interim non-GAAP effective tax expense in accordance with the general principles of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. In 2012, the company's effective tax rate is based on the company's anticipated long term annual non-GAAP tax expense divided by the company's long term annual non-GAAP taxable income on a country by country basis.    
(4) Amortization of deferred financing fees. This is a non-cash charge that is disregarded by the company's management when evaluating our ongoing performance and/or predicting our earnings trends, and is excluded by us when presenting our non-GAAP financial measures. Further, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of this charge on our operating results.
(5) Tax related adjustments from other discrete items. This amount represents the non-recurring tax effect from the transfer of customer relationship intangible assets and the related deferred tax liabilities from a higher tax rate jurisdiction to a lower tax rate jurisdiction. The tax benefit is reflected in the first quarter of 2011 upon the completion of our global distribution restructuring and is not expected to recur.

(1) Excluding appliance expenses associated with pre-2011 appliance sales.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in the tables above and in the tables on the preceding page are non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP provision for income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, billings, non-GAAP cost of billings, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP billings operating margin which adjust for the following items: acquisition related adjustments, share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, deferred expenses and certain other items. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the company's operating performance for the reasons discussed below. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the company's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The annual operating plan approved by our Board of Directors is based upon non-GAAP financial measures and our management incentive plans also use non-GAAP financial measures as performance objectives. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of the company's performance to prior periods and to our peers and that investors benefit from an understanding of these non-financial measures.
