Aspen Technology Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2014

 

Burlington, Mass. — January 30, 2014 — Aspen Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AZPN), a leading provider of software and services to the process industries, today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2014, ended December 31, 2013.

 

“AspenTech continued to perform at a high level in the second quarter, with financial results that exceeded our guidance on all key metrics. Customer demand and usage patterns continue to be solid and helped drive year-over-year growth of over 13% in total license contract value,” said Antonio Pietri, President and Chief Executive Officer of AspenTech.  “At the same time we remain disciplined from an operational perspective, as evidenced by the $70 million of free cash flow generated on a year-to-date basis.  We are focused on building on our strong first half results and are optimistic about the company’s outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.”

 

Second Quarter Fiscal 2014 and Recent Business Highlights

 

·                 The license portion of total contract value was $1.75 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, which increased 13.3% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 3.0% sequentially.

 

·                 Total contract value, including the value of bundled maintenance, was $2.05 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, which increased 15.2% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 3.3% sequentially.

 

·                 Annual spend, which the company defines as the annualized value of all term license and maintenance revenue contracts at the end of the quarter, was approximately $356 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, which increased 11.3% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2.9% sequentially.

 

Summary of Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 Financial Results

 

AspenTech’s total revenue of $98.8 million increased 27.8% from $77.3 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.

 

·                  Subscription and software revenue was $88.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, an increase from $69.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

 



 

·                  Services & other revenue was $9.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, AspenTech reported income from operations of $36.1 million, compared to income from operations of $14.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

 

Net income was $23.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, leading to net income per share of $0.25, compared to net income per share of $0.10 in the same period last fiscal year.

 

Non-GAAP income from operations, which adds back stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions, was $39.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to non-GAAP income from operations of $18.6 million in the same period last fiscal year.  Non-GAAP net income was $25.4 million, or $0.27 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to non-GAAP net income of $12.3 million, or $0.13 per share, in the same period last fiscal year.  A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables included in this press release.

During the second quarter, the company generated $46.3 million in cash flow from operations and $45.2 million in free cash flow after taking into consideration $1.1 million in capital expenditures and capitalized software.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with, disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables included in this press release.

 

Management considers both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results in managing AspenTech’s business.  As the result of adoption of new licensing models, management believes that a number of AspenTech’s performance indicators based on GAAP, including revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income, should be viewed in conjunction with certain non-GAAP and other business measures in assessing AspenTech’s performance, growth and financial condition. Accordingly, management utilizes a number of non-GAAP and other business metrics, including the non-GAAP metrics set forth in this press release, to track AspenTech’s business performance. None of these non-GAAP metrics should be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
