Concur Technologies Announces Record Revenue in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2005
REDMOND, Wash., January 26, 2005 - Concur Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNQR), the world's leading provider of business services that automate Corporate Expense Management, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2004.
Concur reported revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 of $16.3 million, which was driven by 31% year-over-year growth in subscription revenue. Revenue for the quarter was 11% higher than the company expected, up 22% from the year-ago quarter and up 5% from the prior quarter. Fiscal 2005 first quarter net income was $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, which was at the top end of the range expected by the company. This compares to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share in the year-ago quarter and net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share in the prior quarter. Excluding the costs related to an acquisition that Concur evaluated and chose not to pursue and non-cash amortization of intangible assets, pro forma net income for the first fiscal quarter of 2005 was $1.1 million, or $0.03 per share.
"At the start of the fiscal year, we laid out a plan to grow revenue 25% year-over-year while growing earnings more than 100% year-over-year," said Steve Singh, chairman and CEO of Concur Technologies. "Given the strength of our first quarter results, which were above our expectations in terms of total revenue, new customer growth and net income, we are increasing our outlook for total revenue and new customer growth for this fiscal year. Based on the strength of Annual Recurring Revenue signed in the previous four quarters, we now have visibility into greater than 70% of our total revenue target for fiscal 2005 and greater than 65% visibility into our total revenue target for fiscal 2006."
Singh continued, "Consistent with the objectives we outlined at the start of the fiscal year, we expect to aggressively invest in the business to expand our distribution and further improve our competitive advantage by striving to operate with the lowest cost of delivery in the industry. In the first four months of the fiscal year, we expanded our sales force by 36%. We also expect to see tangible benefits of our progress toward operating with the lowest cost of delivery, through improved operating margin, by the end of the fiscal year."
