PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - September 24, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: [ TIBX ]) today announced results for its third fiscal quarter, which ended on August 30, 2009.

Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $150.3 million and GAAP net income was $14.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. This compares to total revenue of $162.3 million and GAAP net income of $11.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, as reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $22.1 million or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with $19.6 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $32.5 million, resulting in a non-GAAP operating margin of 22%. This compares to non-GAAP operating income of $28.7 million, or a 18% non-GAAP operating margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP results exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and assume a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 32% and 33% for the third quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

"During Q3, we exceeded guidance targets for revenue and profitability, we repurchased $50 million of stock, and we acquired DataSynapse, a leader in the grid and cloud computing space," said Vivek Ranadivé, TIBCO's chairman and CEO. "Year to date, we have demonstrated strong operating leverage in our model by delivering an incremental $0.08 in non-GAAP EPS over the first three quarters of 2008. Looking forward, we are well-positioned to benefit from the accelerating shift away from database-centric architectures designed to handle transactions and towards bus-based architectures designed to handle events."

 -- Total revenue was $150.3 million; -- License revenue was $57.3 million; -- Continued strong mix of business across industries including Financial Services, Telecommunications, Energy, Government, Manufacturing, Transportation & Logistics, and Insurance; -- TIBCO closed 85 deals over $100k and had 17 deals over $1 million; -- TIBCO expanded its business with leading companies in Q3 such as Activision Blizzard, Auchan, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bed Bath & Beyond, Jefferies & Company, Inc., Las Vegas Sands, Microsoft, National Semiconductor, and OXY.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

TIBCO provides non-GAAP measures for operating income, net income and net income per share data as supplemental information regarding TIBCO's business performance. TIBCO believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude non-operating charges. TIBCO's management excludes these non-operating charges when it internally evaluates the performance of TIBCO's business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, performance measurement and the calculation of bonuses and discretionary compensation, because these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. Moreover, management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect the essential revenue generation activities of TIBCO. Accordingly, management excludes stock-based compensation related to employee stock options, amortization of acquired intangible assets, charges for acquired in-process research and development, costs related to formal restructuring activities, gains and losses on equity investments, and the income tax effects of the foregoing, as well as adjustments for the impact of changes in the valuation allowance recorded against TIBCO's deferred tax assets when making operational decisions.

TIBCO believes that providing the non-GAAP measures that management uses to its investors is useful to investors for a number of reasons. The non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for investors to understand TIBCO's financial performance on a trended basis across historical periods. In addition, it allows investors to evaluate TIBCO's performance using the same methodology and information as that used by TIBCO's management.

Non-GAAP measures are subject to material limitations as these measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and thus TIBCO's definition may be different from similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies and/or analysts. However, TIBCO's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share. In addition, some items such as restructuring charges that are excluded from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share can have a material impact on cash flows and stock compensation charges can have a significant impact on earnings. Management compensates for these limitations by evaluating the non-GAAP measure together with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. TIBCO has historically provided non-GAAP measures to the investment community as a supplement to its GAAP results, to enable investors to evaluate TIBCO's business performance in the way that management does.

The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them, are outlined below:

Stock-based Compensation

TIBCO incurs stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R). TIBCO excludes this item for the purposes of calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share because it is a non-cash expense that TIBCO believes is not reflective of its business performance. The nature of the stock-based compensation expense also makes it very difficult to estimate prospectively, since the expense will vary with changes in the stock price and market conditions at the time of new grants, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and different award types, making the comparison of current results with forward-looking guidance potentially difficult for investors to interpret. The tax effects of stock-based compensation expenses may also vary significantly from period to period, without any change in underlying operational performance, thereby obscuring the underlying profitability of operations relative to prior periods. Finally, TIBCO believes that non-GAAP measures of profitability that exclude stock-based compensation are widely used by analysts and investors in the software industry.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

TIBCO has incurred amortization of intangible assets, included in its GAAP financial statements, related to various acquisitions TIBCO has made. Management excludes these items, for the purposes of calculating non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share. TIBCO believes that eliminating this expense from its non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, because the amortization of intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of TIBCO's acquisition transactions, which also vary substantially in frequency from period to period.
