Openwave Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial Results

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--()--Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), a global software innovator delivering all-Internet Protocol (all-IP) mediation and messaging solutions, today announced that revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $52.4 million, compared with $35.2 million in the prior quarter ended June 30, 2011 and $41.5 million in the September quarter in the preceding fiscal year. Bookings for the quarter were $23.7 million, which included a significant intellectual property licensing agreement separately announced by Openwave. The company ended the quarter with $66.6 million in cash and investments.

“Openwave’s first fiscal quarter results were mixed; we validated the strength of our intellectual property portfolio by executing a significant licensing agreement, but we are clearly disappointed with our product bookings,” said Mike Mulica, chief executive officer of Openwave Systems. “We continue to work closely with our customers and partners to demonstrate the value of our products and technologies. We are moving quickly to implement a streamlined operating model to improve our product business and will continue to leverage our intellectual property portfolio to improve our overall financial results.”

On a GAAP basis, net income for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $2.6 million or $0.03 per share, compared with a net loss of $20.0 million, or $0.23 per share, in the prior quarter and net income of $71,000 or $0.00 per share, in the September quarter in the preceding year.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $9.3 million or $0.11 per share, compared with a net loss of $8.3 million or $0.10 per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $419,000, or $0.00 per share, in the September quarter in the preceding year. Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes restructuring, impairments and certain losses on investments, amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation, amounts associated with certain unusual events, discontinued operations, and the tax impact of these items.

A reconciliation between net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share 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 or 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 on investments, 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.

These forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Notwithstanding changes that may occur with respect to matters relating to any forward looking statements, Openwave assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements included in this press release.

In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected: (a) the current economic climate may impede the growth of wireless data demand, which could impede customer trials and the ability of Openwave to monetize its intellectual property portfolio; (b) Openwave may not be able to make changes in business strategy, development plans and product offerings to respond to any changes in wireless demand needs of its customers; and (c) Openwave’s cost cutting measures may not result in the cost reductions Openwave expects, or may have an unexpected negative effect on Openwave’s ability to service its customers, either of which would have an adverse effect on Openwave’s operating results.

For a detailed discussion of these and other factors that may cause these forward looking statements not to come true, please refer to the risk factors discussed in Openwave’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
