TIBCO Reports Third Quarter Results

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 19 — TIBCO Software Inc. has announced results for its fiscal third quarter, which ended on August 31, 2014.

On a GAAP basis, total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $255.6 million, compared with $270.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, and software revenue was $85.9 million, compared with $108.0 million. Within software revenue, license revenue was $76.7 million, compared with $105.1 million, while subscription revenue was $9.2 million, compared with $2.9 million. Net income was $2.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $21.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

On a non-GAAP basis, total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $259.6 million, compared with $270.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, and software revenue was $89.9 million, compared with $108.0 million. Non-GAAP subscription revenue within software revenue more than quadrupled to $13.2 million from last year and includes $4.0 million for the acquisition-related accounting effects on deferred revenue. Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $40.7 million, resulting in a non-GAAP operating margin of 15.7% compared to $64.2 million, or a margin of 23.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Non-GAAP net income was $23.3 million or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with $46.3 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, which assumes non-GAAP effective tax rates of 36% and 23% for the third quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Non-GAAP results exclude acquisition-related accounting effects on deferred revenue, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and other related expenses, restructuring activities, and non-cash interest expense related to convertible debt, net of tax effects.

“This quarter, we accelerated a number of strategic and operational changes that resulted in strong growth of subscription sales and a solid sequential improvement in our Spotfire business,” said Vivek Ranadivé, TIBCO’s chairman and chief executive officer. “The migration of perpetual to subscription-based licensing, together with less-than-expected revenue in Europe, had an impact on our overall software revenue results this quarter. We continue to believe, however, that reaching a broader base of customers through subscription pricing and building a solid base of recurring revenue is the right long-term strategy for TIBCO.”
