REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:OPWV), a global software innovator delivering context-aware mediation and messaging solutions, today announced that revenues for the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 were $43.6 million, compared with $40.1 million in the prior quarter ended March 31, 2010 and $47.9 million in the June quarter in the preceding fiscal year. Bookings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 were $35.8 million. The company ended the quarter with $119.4 million in cash and investments.

“Our Media Optimizer, Analytics and Smart Policy products, based on the next-generation Integra platform, will help carriers better manage their data traffic and generate new revenue opportunities, while helping Openwave diversify its customer base and gain market share in 2011.”

“As operators move to an all-IP network, they are starting to make decisions about the architecture of these next generation networks,” said Ken Denman, CEO of Openwave. “Our Media Optimizer, Analytics and Smart Policy products, based on the next-generation Integra platform, will help carriers better manage their data traffic and generate new revenue opportunities, while helping Openwave diversify its customer base and gain market share in 2011.”

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $2.9 million or $0.03 per share, compared with a net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.05 per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.04 per share, in the June quarter in the preceding year.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $61,000, or $0.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.0 million or $0.02 per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $278,000, or $0.00 per share, during the June quarter of the prior year. Non-GAAP net loss excludes restructuring, impairments, amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, amounts associated with certain unusual events, discontinued operations, certain losses on investments and the tax impact of these items.

For fiscal 2010, Openwave reported total revenues of $183.3 million, compared with $191.7 million in fiscal 2009. Net loss on a GAAP basis for the year was $5.9 million, compared with $85.9 million in the prior year. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $969,000 for fiscal 2010 compared with net income of $452,000 in fiscal 2009. Cash outflow from operations was $9.2 million for fiscal 2010 compared with breakeven in fiscal 2009.

A reconciliation between net income (loss) on a GAAP basis and a non-GAAP basis is provided below in a table immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-GAAP Measure

The company's stated results include the non-GAAP measures: non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that generally are non-recurring events. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures exclude items that are non-cash items that many other companies exclude, in order to compare Openwave with other companies, such as stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles. These non-GAAP measures also exclude items which management does not consider in evaluating Openwave’s on-going business, such as restructuring costs, impairments, and discontinued operations. Openwave considers non-GAAP net income (loss) to be an important measure because it provides a useful measure of the operational performance of Openwave and is used by Openwave's management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the financial performance of a company. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding Openwave's operating results. These non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
