WINDSOR, CT, November 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSNC), a global provider of investment and financial software-enabled services and software, today announced its financial results for the quarter that ended September 30, 2012.

“I am delighted to report that our third quarter adjusted revenue of $166.0 million rose 76 percent year-over-year,” said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. “We continue to use our operating cash flow to strengthen our overall service and product offerings. Our clients are very demanding and our depth and breadth of products and services continue to expand to meet their needs. We have acquired PORTIA, GlobeOp, Gravity and Hedgemetrix this year which expands our geographic footprint, deepens our expertise and adds materially to our service and product offering. Since acquiring GlobeOp, as of today, we have paid down $96.6 million in debt. SS&C was named to the Forbes ‘100 Best Small Companies’ 2012 list.

“Hurricane Sandy shows why a business continuity plan is critical for organizations to have in place,” commented Stone. “Our superior cloud architecture and geographically dispersed data centers, together with our dedicated staff, allowed our customers uninterrupted service.”

Results

The Company reported GAAP revenue of $165.6 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $94.3 million in the third quarter of 2011. GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2012 was $37.2 million, or 22.5 percent of revenue, up from $24.1 million in 2011’s third quarter. GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $17.6 million compared to net income of $14.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. On a GAAP fully diluted basis, earnings per share in the third quarter of 2012 was $0.21 compared to fully diluted earnings per share of $0.18 in the third quarter of 2011.

Adjusted revenue (a non-GAAP measure defined in note 1 to the attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Information) in the third quarter of 2012 was $166.0 million compared to $94.3 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 76.0 percent. Adjusted operating income (a non-GAAP measure defined in note 2 to the attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Information) in the third quarter of 2012 was $61.8 million, or 37.2 percent of adjusted revenue. This represents a 64.1 percent increase compared to adjusted operating income of $37.6 million and 39.9 percent of adjusted revenue in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure defined in note 4 to the attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Information) for the third quarter of 2012 was $32.1 million compared to $22.6 million in 2011’s third quarter, an increase of 41.8 percent. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure defined in note 4 to the attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Information) in the third quarter of 2012 was $0.39 per share compared to $0.28 per share in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 39.3 percent.

Annual Run Rate Basis

Annual Run Rate Basis (ARRB) recurring revenue, defined as the addition of maintenance and software-enabled services revenue, was $151.1 million for the third quarter of 2012, an annual run-rate of $604.5 million. This represents an increase of 82.4 percent from $82.8 million and $331.4 million run-rate in the same period in 2011 and an increase of 40.1 percent from Q2 2012’s $107.9 million and $431.5 million run-rate. We believe ARRB of our recurring revenue is a good indicator of visibility into future revenue.

Operating Cash Flow

SS&C ended the quarter with $80.3 million in cash, and $1,070.8 million in debt for a net debt balance of $990.5 million. We generated net cash from operating activities, after $28.6 million in non-recurring acquisition expenses, of $60.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $71.6 million for the same period in 2011.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

Note 1. Reconciliation of Revenue to Adjusted Revenue

Adjusted revenue represents revenue adjusted for one-time purchase accounting adjustments to fair value deferred revenue acquired in business combinations. Adjusted revenue is presented because we use this measure to evaluate performance of our business against prior periods and believe it is a useful indicator of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted revenue is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted revenue does not represent revenue, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted revenue as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted revenue and revenue, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted revenue.

Note 2. Reconciliation of Operating Income to Adjusted Operating Income

Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue and other expenses. Adjusted operating income is presented because we use this measure to evaluate performance of our business and believe it is a useful indicator of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted operating income is not a recognized term under GAAP. Adjusted operating income does not represent operating income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted operating income as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted operating income and operating income, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted operating income.

Note 3. Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Consolidated EBITDA, defined under our Credit Agreement entered into in March 2012, is used in calculating covenant compliance, and is EBITDA adjusted for certain items. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described below. Adjusted consolidated EBITDA is calculated by subtracting acquired EBITDA from consolidated EBITDA. EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA are presented because we use these measures to evaluate performance of our business and believe them to be useful indicators of an entity’s debt capacity and its ability to service debt. EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities. EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA do not represent net income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. The following is a reconciliation between EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA and net income.

Note 4. Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net income and earnings per share before amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation, capital-based taxes and other unusual and non-recurring items. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, do not represent net income or diluted earnings per share, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or diluted earnings per share as indicators of our operating performance. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are important to management and investors because they represent our operational performance exclusive of the effects of amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation, capital-based taxes and other unusual and non-recurring items that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of our competitors. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share and net income and diluted earnings per share.
