Press Release

Exhibit 99.1

Blackbaud, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2007 Results and Third Quarter 2007 Dividend

CHARLESTON, S.C. – August 6, 2007 – Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB), the leading provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Marc Chardon, Chief Executive Officer of Blackbaud, stated, “We were pleased with our performance in the second quarter, which was highlighted by revenue and profitability that was at or above the high-end of our expectations. Demand remains strong for both our core and new solutions, and it was encouraging to see a high level of execution across both our enterprise sales and traditional mid-market sales teams.”

Chardon added, “We continue to make solid progress against our long-term growth initiatives. The Target Companies continue to meet our high expectations; we closed a very significant deal for our recently released Enterprise CRM offering; we commenced multiple implementations of our new Direct Marketing solution, and today we announced the acquisition of eTapestry, a leading provider of on-demand fundraising solutions. The solid sales execution and strong demand for our core and new solutions provides us with increased confidence for the remainder of 2007; additionally, we are even more optimistic about the long-term potential of Blackbaud based on our expanding market opportunity and high level of interest customers are showing in our new growth initiatives.”

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Blackbaud reported total revenue of $64.0 million, an increase of 32% compared with the second quarter of 2006. License revenue increased 19% to $11.0 million, subscriptions increased 125% to $5.5 million, services revenue increased 42% to $22.2 million, and maintenance revenue increased 16% to $23.2 million, compared with the same period in 2006.

Blackbaud’s income from operations and net income, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), were $13.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2007 compared with income from operations of $12.3 million and net income of $7.6 million in the same period last year. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.19 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared with GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.17 in the same period last year.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, was $16.2 million, representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 25% and exceeding the high-end of Blackbaud’s previously issued guidance. Non-GAAP net income was $9.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 9% compared with $8.9 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.22 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 10% compared with $0.20 in the prior year period and at the high-end of Blackbaud’s previously issued guidance.

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

Blackbaud had cash and cash equivalents of $17.7 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.7 million compared to the end of the prior quarter. During the quarter Blackbaud generated $11.8 million in cash from operations, paid quarterly dividends of $3.7 million and repaid $5.0 million of its credit facility.

Blackbaud announced that the Company recently closed a new five year $75.0 million credit facility to be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions; the new facility can also be used to fund the Company’s capital management program. Blackbaud also announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase in its stock repurchase authorization of $35.0 million; as a result, the total authorization is now $41.2 million.

Timothy V. Williams, Chief Financial Officer of Blackbaud, stated, “We are pleased with the strong demand for our end-to-end suite of solutions, which is evidenced in part by license revenue growth at its highest level in over two years combined with continuing rapid growth of our subscription revenue. Moreover, today’s announced acquisition of eTapestry adds another high growth, subscription-based revenue stream to Blackbaud. The rapid growth and increasing scale of subscription revenue, combined with our proven ability to generate very strong cash flow, provides us with a very attractive business model.”

 


Third Quarter Dividend

Blackbaud announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a third quarter dividend of $0.085 per share payable on September 14, 2007 to stockholders of record on August 28, 2007.

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: management of integration of recently acquired companies and other risks associated with acquisitions; risk associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; continued success in sales growth; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; risks related to our dividend policy and share repurchase program, including potential limitations on our ability to grow and the possibility that we might discontinue payment of dividends; risks relating to restrictions imposed by the credit facility; risks associated with management of growth; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; 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 at the SEC’s websites at www.sec.gov or upon request from Blackbaud’s investor relations department.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Blackbaud has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income and margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted 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 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 amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, stock-based compensation expense and certain tax-related adjustments.


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 below. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
