Aug 14, 2012 at 12:00 AM EDT

  • Q2 EBITDA of $838,000, excluding one-time items; vs. guidance range of $740,000 to $840,000
     
  • Q2 Revenue of $4.2 million vs. guidance range of $4.10 to $4.20 million
     
  • Q2 Earnings of $0.03 per share, excluding one-time items

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asure Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASUR), a leading provider of workplace management software, announced results for the second quarter ended June 30th, 2012.

Second quarter results, excluding one-time items, included earnings of $0.03 per share and EBITDA of $838,000. One-time acquisition-related legal and professional services, site consolidation and other one-time expenses related to Asure's acquisitions of PeopleCube, ADI Time and Legiant amounted to $487,000, or ($0.10) per share.

Asure recently split the company's common stock on a 3-for-2 basis, in the form of a 50% stock dividend.  This split went into effect on May 1, 2012.

KEY FACTS FOR Q2:

Second quarter revenue was $4.2M, a 0.5% increase over the prior quarter, and a 73% increase over the second quarter of 2011. The year over year increase was largely driven by the full quarter effect of the acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2011. Asure's recurring revenue as a percentage of overall revenue remained strong at 76%.  Gross margins improved sequentially by one point, to 76%.  Total bookings increased 8% sequentially, while cloud bookings were down 30% sequentially, largely due to successful seasonal promotions for our AsureForce offerings in the first quarter.

"The second quarter of 2012 recognized continued strong growth in organic cloud bookings," commented Pat Goepel, Asure Software's Chief Executive Officer. "The increase of 10% year over year with first year contract comparisons confirms the results of our strategy, as well as the acceptance of our products in the market. We expect this trend to continue as we execute organic and inorganic growth in the workplace management space."

David Scoglio, Asure's Chief Financial Officer added, "Asure posted a strong second quarter financially as EBITDA and revenue were at the upper end of published guidance.  Free cash flow for the quarter, at $223K, fell below earlier guidance due to effects of the acquisition of PeopleCube, lower bookings and slightly higher capital expenditures."  See tables below for details around Asure's financial results and guidance.

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

Statements in this press release regarding Asure's business which are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as a non-GAAP financial measure by the Securities and Exchange Commission: EBITDA and GAAP Net Income/(Loss) excluding one-time items. These supplemental financial measures are not required by GAAP, nor are the presentation of this financial information intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with Asure's earnings results as determined in accordance with GAAP. However, for the reasons described below, management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of Asure's business. Asure's management believes that it is important to provide investors with these same tools, together with reconciliation to GAAP, for evaluating the performance of Asure's business, as it may provide additional insight into Asure's financial results. See the "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock Compensation Expense (EBITDA)" and the "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Net Earnings Excluding One-Time Items" tables included in this press release for further information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures are presented because management believes they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others in the evaluation of companies.

EBITDA is calculated by adding income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense to net earnings, EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of Asure's profitability.

Net Earnings Excluding One-Time Items is calculated by combining the company's GAAP Net Earnings, or earnings per share, with items that are one time in nature and are not expected to recur on a dollar or per share basis.

Free Cash Flow is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations, each as determined in accordance with GAAP and as reflected in the statement of cash flows.
