Blackbaud, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2005 Results and Second Quarter Dividend

CHARLESTON, S.C.—April 27, 2005—Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB), the leading provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, today announced financial results for its first quarter 2005.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, Blackbaud reported total revenue of $37.3 million, an increase of 19% compared with the first quarter of 2004. License revenue increased 27% to $6.5 million, services revenue increased 20% to $11.4 million, and maintenance and subscriptions revenue increased 17% to $18.4 million, over the comparable period.

Robert J. Sywolski, Chief Executive Officer of Blackbaud, stated, “We are very pleased with our first quarter results. Our core solutions – The Raisers Edge, The Financial Edge and The Education Edge – have established Blackbaud as the clear market leader with 13,000 customers. The fact that we delivered our second highest quarterly revenue growth rate in the past two years is a direct result of the investments we have made in research and development and the expansion of our key account sales force. Indeed, the success of our high value-add new offerings and integrated solutions and sales to large non-profit organizations continues to fuel our momentum.”

Blackbaud’s income from operations and net income, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), were $17.3 million and $10.9 million, respectively, for the first quarter 2005 compared with income from operations of $6.6 million and net income of $4.0 million in the same period last year. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.23 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared with $0.09 in the same period last year.

Pro forma income from operations and net income, which exclude stock-based compensation expense, costs of the Company’s initial public offering and amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations were $9.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, compared with $8.6 million and $5.3 million in the same period last year. This represents growth of 13% in pro forma income from operations and 12% growth in pro forma net income, respectively, while pro forma earnings per share was $0.13 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

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 first quarter of 2005 was $7.4 million, an increase of 49% on a year-over-year basis. Blackbaud had cash and cash equivalents of $43.3 million at March 31, 2005.

Timothy V. Williams, Chief Financial Officer of Blackbaud, stated, “In a quarter that was challenging for many software companies, Blackbaud’s positive results stand out. As in prior quarters, our first quarter results continued to be driven by two primary factors: our differentiated vertical market focus and our proven business model which is heavily dependent upon recurring revenue and a high volume of sales at relatively low average sales prices. This model has produced high levels of profitability and strong cash flow for us.”

Blackbaud also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a second quarter dividend of $0.05 per share payable on May 29 to stockholders of record on May 15.

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 actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements 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 related to our proposed dividend and stock repurchase program, including potential limitations on our ability to grow and the possibility that we might discontinue payment of dividends; 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 Blackbaud’s ongoing operational performance. Blackbaud believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures

 


 

(Blackbaud Logo)

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 Blackbaud’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 Blackbaud’s IPO (completed on July 22, 2004), amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations 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.
