Raises 2012 Earnings Guidance

SAN JOSE, Calif., November 5, 2012 — Vocera Communications, Inc. (NYSE: VCRA), a provider of mobile communication solutions focused on addressing critical communication challenges facing hospitals, today announced results for its third quarter that ended September 30, 2012.

Revenue for the quarter was $26.0 million, an increase of 27% compared to $20.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. For the third quarter of 2012, GAAP net income was $1.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income was $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2012, or $0.13 per diluted share, which compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $0.3 million or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the schedules included below.

“We continue to be very pleased with our financial results. We had a strong quarter with our existing customers expanding their Vocera footprint into additional departments. We experienced record gross margins due to continued strong software sales and further reductions in the unit cost of our B3000 badge,” commented Bob Zollars, Vocera Chairman and CEO. “This drove record Adjusted EBITDA of $3.8 million for the quarter.”

Third Quarter 2012 Results

 

   

Total revenue in the third quarter of 2012 of $26.0 million was comprised of $16.9 million of product revenue and $9.1 million of service revenue.

 

   

Product revenue increased 29% compared to the third quarter of 2011 and was driven by continued strength in our Voice Communication solution, including sales of our B3000 badge and server software. Product revenue in the third quarter of 2012 was comprised of $4.7 million from software sales and $12.1 million of device sales. GAAP product gross margin of 68.9% in the quarter increased 170 basis points compared to the year ago period. Non-GAAP product gross margin of 69.7% in the quarter increased 160 basis points compared to the year ago period.

 

   

Service revenue increased 25% compared to the third quarter of 2011 and was driven by new customer deployments and expanded implementations at existing customers. Service revenue in the third quarter of 2012 was comprised of $6.7 million of software maintenance and $2.4 million of professional services. GAAP services gross margin of


 

58.9% in the quarter increased 1,170 basis points compared to the year ago period. Non-GAAP services gross margin of 60.2% in the quarter increased 1,290 basis points compared to the year ago period.

 

   

Non-GAAP net income was $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2012, or $0.13 per diluted share, which excludes $1.4 million in stock compensation expense, and $0.2 million in amortization of acquired intangibles. This compares to non-GAAP net loss of $0.3 million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011, which excludes $0.6 million in stock compensation expense, $0.3 million in amortization of acquired intangibles and a ($0.3) million benefit in stock warrant revaluation expense.

 

   

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $65,000 in the third quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margins in the third quarter of 2012 were 14.5% compared to 0.3% in the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

Cash and short term investments totaled $121 million as of September 30, 2012.

2012 Guidance

For the full year 2012, we are maintaining our revenue guidance of between $100 million and $102 million, and increasing our earnings guidance. We expect GAAP earnings per share between $0.09 and $0.11, non-GAAP earnings per share between $0.33 and $0.35, and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA between $10.0 million and $11.0 million. Our full year 2012 non-GAAP guidance excludes estimated stock compensation expense of approximately $4.1 million, estimated amortization of intangibles of approximately $0.9 million, and preferred warrant revaluation expense of approximately $1.6 million. Non-GAAP earnings per share guidance is based on a fully diluted share count of 25.5 million shares for the full year 2012.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are not strictly historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws, including statements regarding future events such as our expected operating results for the full year, as well as the performance of our Voice Communication solution, the successful execution of our business opportunities and the future financial performance of our company. These forward-looking statements are based on limited information currently available to Vocera and our management’s expectations that are inherently subject to change and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement due to various factors, including but not limited to our ability to maintain profitability; the demand for our Voice Communication solution in the healthcare market; our lengthy and unpredictable sales cycle; our ability to offer high-quality services and support for our solutions, to acquire the sole and limited source hardware and software components of our solutions, to obtain the required capacity and product quality from our contract manufacturer, to develop and introduce new solutions and features to existing solutions and to manage our growth; and the other factors described in Vocera’s final prospectus for its public offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 7, 2012 and Vocera’s other filings with the SEC. Vocera’s SEC filings are available on the Investors section of our company’s web site at www.vocera.com. The financial and other information contained in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Vocera’s final public offering prospectus. Vocera’s operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of Vocera’s operating results for any future periods. This press release speaks only as of its date. Vocera assumes no obligation to update the information in this press release, to revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual events or results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Our management evaluates our company’s results and makes operating decisions using various GAAP and non-GAAP measures. In addition to Vocera’s GAAP results, we also consider non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP


operating expenses, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. We also present Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that we reconcile to net income. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute to gross margin, operating expenses, net income, earnings per diluted share, or any other financial measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We present the non-GAAP measures because we consider them to be important supplemental information for our investors for analyzing Vocera’s performance, core operating results and trends. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures included with this press release.

Our non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as well as Adjusted EBITDA are exclusive of certain items to facilitate management’s review of the comparability of Vocera’s core operating results on a period to period basis because such items are not related to Vocera’s ongoing core operating results as viewed by management. We define our “core operating results” as those revenues recorded in a particular period and the expenses incurred within that period that directly drive operating income in that period. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because, in addition to meaningful supplemental information regarding operating performance, the measures give us a better understanding of how we should invest in research and development, fund infrastructure growth and evaluate the effectiveness of marketing strategies. In calculating the above non-GAAP results, management specifically adjusted for the following excluded items:

a) Stock-based compensation expense impact. We recognize equity plan-related compensation expenses, which represent the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as required under ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” as non-GAAP adjustments in each period.

b) Amortization of acquired intangibles. We acquired certain companies in 2010 and booked intangible assets related to these acquisitions. The amortization of these acquisition related costs is excluded from non-GAAP net income because it is not related to ongoing controllable management decisions and because it is non-cash in nature.

c) Stock warrant revaluation expenses. This is a non-cash expense as a result of preferred warrants outstanding that have to be revalued each quarter. We believe the comparisons of ongoing operations should exclude effects of such revaluations.

Management adjusts for the above items because management believes that, in general, these items possess one or more of the following characteristics: their magnitude and timing is largely outside of Vocera’s control; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; they are unusual and we do not expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business; or they are non-operational, or non-cash expenses involving stock option grants.


We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is warranted for several reasons:

1) Such non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional analytical tool for understanding Vocera’s financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating results of the business;

2) These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to the operating results of other companies commonly compared to Vocera, which use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results, thus enhancing the perspective of investors who wish to utilize such comparisons in their analysis of our performance; and

3) These non-GAAP financial measures are employed by Vocera’s management in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in financial and operational decision making processes, such as budget planning and forecasting.

Set forth below are additional reasons why share-based compensation expense related to ASC 718 is excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures:

i) While share-based compensation calculated in accordance with ASC 718 constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense of Vocera, it is not an expense that requires cash settlement by Vocera. We therefore exclude these charges for purposes of evaluating core operating results. Thus, our non-GAAP measurements are presented exclusive of stock-based compensation expense to assist management and investors in evaluating our core operating results.

ii) We present ASC 718 share-based payment compensation expense in our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures on a pre-tax basis because the exact tax differences related to the timing and deductibility of share-based compensation, under ASC 718, are dependent upon the trading price of Vocera’s common stock and the timing and exercise by employees of their stock options. As a result of these timing and market uncertainties the tax effect related to share-based compensation expense would be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is therefore excluded from our non-GAAP results.

As stated above, we present non-GAAP financial measures because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Vocera’s GAAP results. In the future, we expect to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-GAAP adjustments described above and expect to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures excluding such items. Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP financial measures are:

 

   

Vocera’s stock option and stock purchase plans are important components of incentive compensation arrangements and will be reflected as expenses in Vocera’s GAAP results for the foreseeable future under ASC 718; and

 

   

Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than Vocera, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, a detailed reconciliation between Vocera’s non-GAAP and GAAP financial results is set forth in the financial tables at the end of this press


release. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information strictly as a supplement to the GAAP results that are contained in this press release and in Vocera’s SEC filings.
