Blackbaud, Inc. Announces Record Third Quarter 2004 Results

Charleston, S.C. (October 27, 2004) – Blackbaud (Nasdaq: BLKB), the leading provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, today announced record financial results for its third quarter 2004.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2004, Blackbaud reported total revenue of $36.2 million, an increase of 19% compared with the third quarter of 2003. License revenue increased 19% to $6.2 million, services revenue increased 27% to $12.1 million, and maintenance and subscriptions revenue increased 15% to $17.0 million, over the comparable period.

Blackbaud’s income from operations and net income, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), were $12.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for the third quarter 2004 compared with $1.1 million and a loss of $0.1 million in the same period last year. Pro forma income from operations and net income, which exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, and costs associated with the Company’s recently completed IPO, were $11.0 million and $6.7 million, respectively, compared with $8.9 million and $4.7 million in the same period last year.

GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.16 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared with ($0.00) in the same period last year. Pro forma earnings per share were $0.15 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared with $0.10 in the same period last year.

A reconciliation of GAAP to pro forma results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in the press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Cash from operations for the third quarter of 2004 was $17.0 million, and for the first nine months of 2004, cash from operations was $33.3 million, up 23% on a year-over-year basis. Blackbaud had cash and cash equivalents of $33.4 million at September 30, 2004.

“We are very pleased with our third quarter results. Our ‘new revenue,’ which we define as the combination of our software and services revenue, grew at 24% on a year-over-year basis. We believe this growth reflects the strength of Blackbaud’s competitive position and product portfolio, as well as the attractiveness of our market opportunity. We have the broadest and deepest solutions focused on solving the business challenges nonprofit organizations face, and we continue to execute well against our strategy to become the nonprofit industry’s one-stop-shop for software and services,” said Robert J. Sywolski, Chief Executive Officer of Blackbaud.

Timothy V. Williams, Chief Financial Officer of Blackbaud, added, “The September quarter was again better than our expectations from a software and services perspective. Our core solutions continue to grow and do very well, while we are excited about the growing acceptance of new solutions such as The Patron Edge™ and Blackbaud Analytics™. We feel good about the tone of our business.”

Forward-looking Statements
Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations and assumptions contained in this news release are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Although Blackbaud attempts to be accurate in making these forward-looking statements, it is possible that future circumstances might differ from the assumptions on which such statements are based. In addition, other important factors that could cause results to differ materially include the following: continued success in sales growth; adoption of our products and services by nonprofits; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; risk associated with product concentration; lengthy sales and implementation cycles; economic conditions and seasonality; competition; risks associated with management of growth; risks associated with acquisitions; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in the SEC filings for Blackbaud, copies of which are available free of charge upon request from Blackbaud’s investor relations department.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Blackbaud has provided in this release certain financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes pro forma gross margin, pro forma operating income and margin, pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share. Blackbaud uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operational performance. Blackbaud believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in the Company’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above exclude the impact of costs associated with the Company’s IPO (completed on July 22, 2004) and the expensing of stock option compensation.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to pro forma results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
