SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - August 21, 2019 - QAD Inc. (Nasdaq: QADA) (Nasdaq: QADB), a leading provider of flexible, cloud-based enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2020 second quarter and first six months ended July 31, 2019.
Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Financial Highlights:
Total revenue for the fiscal 2020 second quarter was $76.4 million, compared with $84.5 million for the fiscal 2019 second quarter. The revenue decline was primarily related to an $8.6 million reduction in professional services. Currency had a negative $1.4 million impact on total revenue compared with the prior year quarter, and a negative $400,000 impact compared with the prior sequential quarter. Subscription revenue grew 15 percent (17 percent on a constant currency basis) from the same period last year, and was 34 percent of total revenue for the fiscal 2020 second quarter, a seven-percentage point increase over last year's second quarter.
Additional fiscal 2020 second quarter financial highlights, versus the same period last year, include:
'The first six months of the year have produced the highest levels of subscription bookings in our history. Our investments in sales and marketing are starting to produce higher deal volumes, and are increasing our competitive wins. We expect this will translate into acceleration of our growth in the cloud,' said Anton Chilton, Chief Executive Officer at QAD. 'To drive efficiency and better serve our customers, we have brought forward our plans to expand our services and partner ecosystems, which will increase our reach and reduce reliance by our customers on QAD's global professional services organization.'
Fiscal 2020 Six-Month Financial Results:
Total revenue for the first half of fiscal 2020 was $154.4 million, compared with $170.7 million for the same period last year. Currency had a negative impact on total revenue of $4.7 million. Subscription revenue grew 16 percent to $51.2 million for the fiscal 2020 year-to-date period, compared with $44.0 million for the fiscal 2019 year-to-date period. GAAP pre-tax loss was $5.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, compared with GAAP pre-tax income of $5.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2019. GAAP net loss was $16.5 million, or $0.86 per Class A share and $0.71 per Class B share, for the fiscal 2020 first half, versus GAAP net income of $2.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted Class A share and $0.11 per diluted Class B share, for the same period last year. Non-GAAP pre-tax income was breakeven, compared with $10.5 million last year.
QAD's cash and equivalents balance at July 31, 2019 was $141.8 million, versus $139.4 million at January 31, 2019. Cash provided by operations for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was $14.2 million, compared with $9.1 million one year ago.
Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Operational Highlights:
Business Outlook:
With our customer's priority of converting to the cloud prior to upgrading their systems, QAD now expects professional services revenue to be flat for the second half of the year, compared with the first half. In addition, the effect of the manufacturing economy slowdown on the company's license business, predominantly generated from existing customers, is reducing license revenue expectations for the remainder of the year. While subscription bookings are at record levels, both in number and value, the timing of the deals has had an impact on full year subscription revenue expectations. Therefore, guidance is being updated to reflect these changes.
For the fiscal 2020 third quarter, QAD expects:
For the fiscal 2020 full year, QAD now expects:
The following is a forward-looking reconciliation of GAAP pre-tax income to non-GAAP pre-tax income for the fiscal 2020 third quarter and full year:

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures
QAD has disclosed non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins, non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP income tax expense on non-GAAP earnings in this press release for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2020. These are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. QAD defines the non-GAAP measures as follows:
QAD's management uses non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the business and believes that presenting
non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the company's underlying business
trends and performance of the company's ongoing operations as well as useful metrics for monitoring the
company's performance and evaluating it against industry peers. The non-GAAP financial measures presented
should be used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should
not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to
review the company's consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial
measure in evaluating the company.
Tables providing a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures are
included at the end of this press release.
QAD non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
Stock-based compensation expense: The company has excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense
from its non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP pre-tax income calculations. Although stock-based
compensation expense is calculated in accordance with current GAAP and constitutes an ongoing and recurring
expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense which generally requires
cash settlement by QAD, and therefore is not used by the company to assess the profitability of its operations.
The company also believes the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides a more useful
comparison of its operating results to the operating results of its peers.
Amortization of purchased intangible assets: The company amortizes purchased intangible assets in connection
with its acquisitions. QAD has excluded the effect of amortization of purchased intangible assets, which include
purchased technology and customer relationships, from its non-GAAP pre-tax income calculation, because doing
so makes internal comparisons to the company's historical operating results more consistent. In addition, the
company believes excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets provides a more useful comparison of its
operating results to the operating results of its peers.
Change in fair value of the interest rate swap: The company entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate its
exposure to the variability of one-month LIBOR for its floating rate debt related to the mortgage of its
headquarters. QAD has excluded the gain/loss adjustments to record the interest rate swap at fair value from its
non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP pre-tax income calculations. The company believes that these
fluctuations are not indicative of its operational costs or meaningful in evaluating comparative period results
because the company currently has no intention of exiting the debt agreement early; and therefore over the life of
the debt the sum of the fair value adjustments will be $0.
Non-GAAP income tax on non-GAAP earnings: The company discloses non-GAAP income tax on non-GAAP
earnings in order to provide a reader with the ability to calculate non-GAAP earnings per share. The company's
estimate of non-GAAP income tax expense excludes the tax effect of stock-based compensation and other discrete
items. The company believes it is appropriate to exclude discrete items from its non-GAAP income tax expense
on non-GAAP earnings calculation because the company's non-GAAP pre-tax income excludes the effect of
stock-based compensation; and discrete items are unpredictable and generally are not recognized until incurred.
