Attunity Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results

BURLINGTON, Mass., July 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Attunity, Ltd. (NASDAQ CM: ATTU), a leading provider of information availability software solutions, today reported its unaudited financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2013.

"We are pleased to have effectively executed on several sales and marketing initiatives which generated strong demand for our big data and cloud solutions, resulting in revenue growth and profits in the second quarter, as compared with the first quarter of 2013. These activities have already made a material impact on our financial performance, and the momentum is expected to continue building into the second half of 2013, allowing us to meet our goals for the year," stated Shimon Alon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Attunity.

"We continue to benefit from our strong partnerships with market leaders. Our strategic relationship with Pivotal Greenplum has experienced increased activity since they completed their spinoff from EMC at the end of the first quarter of 2013 and we expect this to continue, going forward. In addition, through our relationship with Teradata, several data warehouse customers have tested our solutions, resulting in our first customer win in this environment.

"Through expanded marketing efforts, we have begun to build a growing customer base and we are driving greater awareness for our Amazon Web Services (AWS) solutions, as we increase our joint promotional activities. We believe this momentum will continue to increase as the newly launched AWS Redshift gains broader market adoption and is recognized as the premier data warehousing solution in the cloud.

"The appointment of new leadership within our marketing division and a ramped up sales force enabled us to focus on identifying and closing a greater number of deals with large scale data warehousing customers. The result has been strong direct sales growth compared with the first quarter of this year, mainly attributable to the U.S. market.

"These activities have allowed us to rapidly close the year over year gap. Our second quarter of 2013 total revenues are 5% lower compared to the same quarter in 2012, showing significant progress over the gap in the first quarter of 2013," Mr. Alon concluded.

• Total revenues for the second quarter grew 33%, compared with the first quarter of 2013

Financial Results for Q2 2013

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2013 were $6.1 million, compared with $6.4 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease year-over-year is primarily a result of an 8% decline in license revenues to $3.3 million, compared with $3.6 million for the same period of 2012. 

Operating income for the second quarter of 2013 was $108,000, compared with $688,000 for the same period of 2012. The decrease year-over-year in operating income reflects lower total revenue as well as higher sales and marketing costs during the second quarter of 2013 associated with the hires of sales force in the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013.

Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2013 was $434,000, compared with $1.1 million for the same period of 2012. Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2013 excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expenses, amortization and expenses related to the acquisition of RepliWeb of $326,000. Non-GAAP operating income for the same period of 2012 excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expenses, amortization and expenses related to the acquisition of RepliWeb, and amortization of software development costs of $461,000. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" below for more information regarding Attunity's use of Non-GAAP financial measures.

Net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $180,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with $508,000, or $0.04 per diluted share (adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split in July 2012) in the second quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $371,000, compared with $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2012.  Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2013 excludes a total of $191,000 in expenses and amortization, which is comprised of $114,000 in amortization and other expenses associated with acquisition of RepliWeb, compared with $229,000 for the same period last year; financial income associated with the revaluation of liabilities presented at fair value (attributed mainly to the change in the share price) of $63,000, compared with financial expense of $279,000 for the same period last year; and $140,000 stock-based compensation expenses, compared with $160,000 for the same period last year.  See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" below for more information regarding Attunity's use of Non-GAAP financial measures.

Cash and cash equivalents were $1.8 million as of June 30, 2013, compared with $3.8 million as of December 31, 2012. In April 2013, the Company paid the final consideration of $2.0 million as earn-out to RepliWeb former shareholders as part of the acquisition completed in September 2011.

Shareholders' equity decreased to $9.0 million as of June 30, 2013, compared with $9.6 million as of December 31, 2012.
