Asure Software Reports Profitable Second Quarter Results
- Q2 Earnings of $0.03 per share excluding one-time items*
- Q2 EBITDA* of $0.3 million, exceeding prior guidance by 48%
- Recurring Cloud-based bookings growth of 41% Year over Year and 28% sequentially

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asure Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASUR), a leading provider of workforce management software, announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Second quarter results included earnings of $0.03 per share, excluding one-time items; EBITDA of $0.3 million, and GAAP Net Income per share of $0.01. One-time items contributed ($0.02) per share, and consisted of one-time investments in our Sales & Marketing infrastructure and severance expense. Second quarter revenue was $2.43 million, a 3% increase over the prior quarter. The revenue increase of $0.07 million was largely driven by an increase in recurring revenue, of which the majority was related to growth in our Cloud-based revenue stream. Asure's recurring revenue as a percentage of overall revenue increased by 17 basis points quarter over quarter and by 7% versus the comparable period in 2010; from 73% to 80%. Gross margin was up almost one percent from last quarter, at 82%. From a Cloud-based booking perspective (Asure defines bookings as net new revenue to the firm in terms of total contract value booked during a specified time period), Asure posted further increases this second quarter. Compared to the prior quarter of Q2 2010 and compared to the first quarter of 2011, Asure's total Cloud-based bookings grew 41% and 28% respectively.
Pat Goepel, Asure's Chief Executive Officer, noted, "Asure has maintained its vigilance in continuing to drive intuitive technology with superior service to our clients, and our second quarter results are a reflection on continued execution of our strategy. I couldn't be more pleased with our metrics this quarter. Fortune 100 and innovative companies continue to maximize our solution which is driving overall revenue growth. EBITDA and earnings were above our estimates and cash has shown substantial growth driven in part by our strong Cloud-based bookings this quarter. NetSimplicity Cloud-based bookings, the subject of our continued evolution towards 100% Cloud-based, grew by 90% over the comparable quarter in 2010 and 38% over the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to our recent enhancements in our product. Our primary goal is to continue to deliver intuitive technology and a superior client experience, while focusing on Cloud-based bookings. This will facilitate further growth of our recurring base of revenue in coming quarters, which will increase the predictability of our business. Although this paradigm shift to a focus on Cloud-based bookings adversely affects revenue recognition in the short term, we believe it is what this business needs to facilitate long term shareholder value and predictable profitability and cash flow."
David Scoglio, Asure's Chief Financial Officer, added, "Asure generated EBITDA of $0.3 million, and together with a focus on accounts receivable collection and Cloud-based deferred revenue growth, we posted our fourth consecutive cash-generating quarter. Cash increased almost $0.7 million to pass the $2 million mark this quarter. Other improvements included continued growth in deferred revenue at 33% over the comparable quarter in 2010; and an increase in our quick ratio to 1.0 from 0.9 compared to Q4 2010."
Mr. Goepel, in closing, remarked: "As we move forward in 2011, we are committed to delighting our clients with our internal and customer facing technology. Asure is currently on the hunt to utilize its cash towards an accretive acquisition. Together with the Company's M&A committee, we continue to seek acquisition candidates and financing partnerships to complement our cash position. Until that happens, we will continue to evolve our business closer to 100% Cloud-based, while maintaining bookings growth, profitability, and cash generation along the way."

"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.
