REDMOND, Wash., April 26 2006
Concur reported revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 of $23.5 million, which was driven by 52% year-over-year growth in subscription revenue. Total revenue for the quarter was up 36% from the year-ago quarter. Fiscal 2006 second quarter net income, which now includes amortization of intangible assets from the recently completed acquisition of Outtask, Inc. and share-based compensation, was $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, and was $0.01 per share higher than the company expected. This compares to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.03 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
"Our business and market momentum continues to be strong and, based on the strength of our second quarter results, we are raising our revenue expectations for fiscal 2006," said Steve Singh, chairman and chief executive officer. "The integration of Outtask is progressing nicely. Less than one quarter since the acquisition, several prominent Concur(R) Expense customers have selected Cliqbook(R) Travel, our market leading online corporate travel management service."
Singh continued, "Concur is the leading growth company in the emerging on- demand Corporate Expense Management market. We intend to expand our leadership position by focusing on our core initiatives around distribution, service and operational excellence, and new services. Our new distribution partnership with Bank of America and the launch of Cognos ReportNet(TM) and Cliqbook(R) Meeting are the most recent examples of our expanding leadership position."

About Concur's Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued)
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. The tables above reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Concur's non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, and they differ from GAAP measures with similar names and from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We strongly urge investors and potential investors in our securities to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this release, and our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the other financial information contained in and our periodic filings with the SEC and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Concur believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Concur's operating results because they exclude amounts that Concur excludes as part of its monitoring of operating results and assessing the performance of the business. We believe that our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison of results for current periods and business outlook for future periods with results of past periods. Concur presents the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release: non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP net income; and non-GAAP earnings per share. Concur excludes the following items from each of these non-GAAP financial measures:
- Share-based compensation expenses. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, which consist of expenses for stock options that we began recording under SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and the exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of results for fiscal 2006 and business outlook for future periods with results for prior periods, which did not include share-based compensation expenses.
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets. In accordance with GAAP, operating expenses include amortization of software and other technology assets, other purchased intangible assets such as customer lists and covenants not to compete. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP financial measures because they are non-cash expenses that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and we believe that doing so facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results and to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.
- Costs associated with an abandoned acquisition. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005 we recorded costs related to a potential acquisition of another company that we evaluated and chose not to pursue. We excluded this amount from our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe it is non-recurring and is not indicative of our ongoing business operations.
Except as noted below, we believe that all of the following considerations apply equally to each of the non-GAAP financial measures that we present:
- Our management uses non-GAAP operating income (including the derived non-GAAP operating margin), non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share in internal reports used by Concur's management in monitoring and making decisions regarding Concur's business. For example, these measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management, and in quarterly reports to Concur's Board of Directors. Concur also uses non-GAAP earnings per share as a measure that determines executive cash incentive compensation, along with GAAP measures, such as revenue.
- Because share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets are non-cash in nature, Concur believes that non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share provide a more focused view of the operations of its business. In particular, share-based compensation amounts are difficult to forecast, because the magnitude of the charges depends upon the volume and timing of stock option grants -- which are unpredictable and can vary dramatically from period to period -- and external factors such as interest rates and the trading price and volatility of the company's common stock. Excluding these share-based payments amounts improves comparability of the performance of the business across periods.
- The principal limitation of Concur's non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.
- To mitigate this limitation, Concur presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results, and recommends that investors do not give undue weight to its non-GAAP financial measures. Concur notes that the dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in fully-diluted shares outstanding used in calculating both GAAP earnings per share and our non-GAAP earnings per share.
Concur's management believes that its non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because it allows investors to view the business through the eyes of management, facilitates comparison of its results across historical and future periods, and because its non-GAAP financial measures provide a special focus on the underlying operating performance of the business relative to expectations.
