SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - October 29, 2009) - Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ: [ CALD ]), the leader in Sales Performance Management (SPM), today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Total third quarter revenues were $17.4 million, down 38%, compared to the same quarter last year, reflecting the expected declines in both services and license revenues resulting from the company's shift to a recurring revenue business. Recurring revenues, which include subscription and support, were $11.2 million, an increase of 3% compared to Q3 2008. Recurring revenues, while lagging total ACV as customers come online, now account for approximately 64% of total revenues.

The net new Annual Contract Value (ACV) of on-demand and term license bookings in the third quarter was $3.6 million, up from $1.3 million booked in the third quarter of 2008, bringing the cumulative ACV to $28.6 million.

Third quarter services revenues were $5.3 million, down 50%, while third quarter license revenues were $0.9 million, down 87%, in each case, compared to the third quarter of 2008. The decline in services revenues reflects primarily the planned shift to the on-demand business, but also reflects some revenue deferrals and delays in implementations. With this shift to our on-demand business, we expect services revenues to continue to decline because on-demand implementations cost significantly less than on-premise software implementations, benefitting our customers through reduced costs, shorter implementation times, and greater value.

Third quarter GAAP net loss was $6.7 million or ($0.22) per share, which included $2.0 million of restructuring expense, $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.1 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. This compares to GAAP net loss of $1.4 million, or ($0.05) per share, for the third quarter of 2008, which included $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.5 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. Third quarter non-GAAP net loss was $3.6 million, or ($0.12) per share, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million, or $0.04 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. Non-GAAP operating expenses for Q3 of $10.2 million are down $3.3 million, or approximately 24%, from Q3 2008.

Cash and investments totaled $36.8 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $3.2 million from June 30, 2009.

"With significant competitive wins, we had a strong ACV performance in Q3 as we closed a number of deals in both our on-demand business as well as our term on-premises business. This success validates our move to recurring revenues. Our Monaco suite has real momentum and the transactions we closed in Q3 demonstrate that this product release together with our move to the recurring revenue model is meeting with success. We also signed several key partnerships in the quarter," said Leslie Stretch, president and CEO at Callidus Software. "Further, over the course of the last year we have significantly reduced our fixed costs and right-sized the Company to fit our new recurring revenue business model. This has resulted in Q3 non-GAAP operating expenses which are down approximately 24% from the prior year period."

"Our product offerings continue to expand across all business lines, including our growing [ Force.com ] solution suite, which offers sales performance solutions for businesses of all sizes. We continue to add world-class companies to our list of partners to further expand our global reach and customer base. Our subscription and support recurring revenues are now the primary contributor to our total revenue and margin performance, and we are driving to achieve profitability in the second half of 2010," continued Stretch.
