SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - July 28, 2009) - Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ: [ CALD ]), the leader in Sales Performance Management (SPM), today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Total second quarter revenues were $22.4 million, down 5%, compared to the same quarter last year, reflecting the impact of a challenging economy, a decrease in services revenues, and an expected decline in license revenues. Recurring revenues, which include subscription and support, were $11.8 million, an increase of 17% over the second quarter of 2008.

Second quarter services revenues were $9.4 million, down 18%, while second quarter license revenues were $1.2 million, down 38%, in each case, compared to the second quarter of 2008. The decline in services revenues reflects not only the shift to the on-demand business and the completion of certain implementations, but also delays in significant implementations due to customer budgetary constraints.

Second quarter GAAP net loss was $3.3 million or ($0.11) per share, which included $1.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.6 million of restructuring expense and $0.1 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. This compares to GAAP net loss of $5.1 million, or ($0.17) per share, for the second quarter of 2008, which included $2.2 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.5 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Second quarter non-GAAP net loss was $1.3 million, or ($0.04) per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $2.5 million, or ($0.08) per share, for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net loss excludes stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Cash and investments totaled $40.1 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $2.2 million from March 31, 2009.

"We made real strides this past quarter toward transitioning more fully to a recurring revenue model. We closed significant on-demand business in the quarter with sixteen customers increasing their annual recurring commitments, which we believe speaks to the strategic value of our solutions. At the same time it was a challenging quarter, as certain customers and industries reduced sales headcount and corresponding spending. We experienced the impact of these reductions directly with a decline in cumulative annual contract value," said Leslie Stretch, president and CEO at Callidus Software. "Some recent and upcoming actions we are taking to better position us to capitalize on the SPM market opportunity include completion of the move to recurring revenues, significant restructuring actions in June and July to reduce annualized expenses by over $10 million and putting in place new leadership in the sales and marketing functions that will be 100% dedicated to growing our recurring revenue business. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we are driving toward our goal of achieving profitability in 2010."

Recent Business Highlights

 -- New Products: Callidus launched the Monaco Suite, a SaaS, multi-tenant offering, that includes an intuitive Web 2.0 user experience and new products for objective management, quota management, and compensation plan distribution and approval. -- Partners: Callidus signed a 2 year exclusivity agreement with its reseller, CIS, for the Latin American market. The agreement provides Callidus with a guaranteed recurring revenue stream of $1 million per year recognized ratably. -- New Partners: Callidus expanded its geographic reach by signing reseller agreements with Advantech in Israel, Ultima in Turkey, Cognity in Greece, and Hyperintel in Indonesia. -- Industry Recognition: Callidus received the highest rating of any SPM vendor in Ventana Research's SPM index. The research evaluated the major vendors in the SPM market. 

Financial Outlook

 -- Total revenues for the third quarter of 2009 are expected to be between $17.5 million and $19.0 million, reflecting continuing declines in services revenues due to the shift to the on-demand business as well as ongoing delays in customer implementations, the expected decline in perpetual license revenues and a slight decrease in on-demand revenues due to the second quarter decline in cumulative Annual Contract Value. -- GAAP operating expenses, including stock-based compensation of approximately $1 million and $1.7M of restructuring charges, are expected to be between $12.2 million and $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2009.
