Management Commentary

"We continue to implement our strategy focused on growing our mobile and cloud revenues and remain confident doing so will properly position us to extend our leadership in the workforce management space and secure profitable revenue growth over the long term. Revenues in the second quarter, while still representing 10% year-over-year growth, came in lower than expected. This is primarily due to a faster than expected shift in our revenues to cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) sales, which also caused some delays in deal closing processes and smaller initial deal size. Still, the cloud trend is a positive development for ClickSoftware that will benefit us over the long-term," said Dr. Moshe BenBassat, ClickSoftware's CEO and Founder. "Additionally, we continue to establish winning teams in our growth territories – Latin America and Russia. In some countries, the macro economic conditions are challenging resulting in longer than expected closing processes."

"Operationally, the number of new accounts we signed in the second quarter and the number of orders received from existing customers was considerably higher than our average. Some of these are mid-market customers which bought our cloud-based solutions that also include mobility components. This trend, together with our growing enterprise mobility apps and the new partnerships with Salesforce.com and others, will allow ClickSoftware to maintain our premium positioning and sustain competitive advantages over our competition," Dr. BenBassat added. 

Financial Outlook

As communicated on July 8, 2013, full year 2013 revenues are expected to be between $110 million to $115 million, representing about 10% to 15% growth over 2012. Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for 2013 is expected to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.18, which excludes share-based compensation, deferred taxes expense (net of tax payment for previous years retained earnings) and amortization of intangible assets costs of approximately $0.08, $0.01 and $0.00 per fully diluted share, respectively. GAAP fully diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.02 to $0.10.

Cash Dividend

ClickSoftware also announced today that on July 22, 2013, its Board of Directors approved a $0.05 per share dividend to be paid on August 21, 2013 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 7, 2013. The dividend will be paid net of any required tax. The Company does not have a formal policy governing the amounts and payment of dividends, and the declaration and payment of future dividends, if any, is at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
