Blackbaud, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2007 Results and Fourth Quarter 2007 Dividend
CHARLESTON, S.C. – November 1, 2007 – Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB), the leading provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Marc Chardon, Chief Executive Officer of Blackbaud, stated, “We were pleased with the Company’s overall performance in the third quarter, which was highlighted by revenue and profitability that was above the high-end of our expectations. Demand for our solutions continues to be solid, and we believe our overall market opportunity remains largely under penetrated, as evidenced by the continuing addition of new customers across all segments of our market. At the same time we are also seeing success, as we have historically, in selling additional solutions to our large base of almost 19,000 customers.”
Chardon added, “During the third quarter, the contribution to our results from our most recent acquisitions, the Target Companies and eTapestry, continued to be very strong, with each generating better than expected revenue performance. Equally as important from a long-term perspective, we continue to be encouraged by the growing interest levels we are seeing for our new Enterprise CRM and Direct Marketing solutions.”
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, Blackbaud reported total revenue of $67.8 million, an increase of 36% compared with the third quarter of 2006. License revenue increased 9% to $8.5 million, subscriptions increased 154% to $7.1 million, services revenue increased 55% to $26.3 million, and maintenance revenue increased 16% to $24.0 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 $15.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2007 compared with income from operations of $13.6 million and net income of $8.4 million in the same period last year. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.20 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared with GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.19 in the same period last year.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, was $17.7 million, an increase from $15.7 million in the prior year period and above the high-end of the Company’s previously issued guidance range and represented a non-GAAP operating margin of 26%. Non-GAAP net income was $10.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, an increase from $9.8 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.23 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, an increase from $0.22 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.”
Cash from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $30.5 million, an increase of 18% over the $25.7 million generated in the same period last year.
Timothy V. Williams, Chief Financial Officer of Blackbaud, stated, “We were pleased with the progress of integrating the Target Companies and eTapestry acquisitions during the quarter, which were key factors driving the better-than-expected operating profitability results. In addition, subscription-based services continue to be the highest growth portion of Blackbaud’s business, enhancing the Company’s long-term business model and revenue visibility.”
Fourth Quarter Dividend
Blackbaud announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.085 per share payable on December 14, 2007 to stockholders of record on November 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 website at http: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.
