Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS) today reported financial
results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 ended September 30,
2009.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, Citrix achieved revenue of
$401 million, compared to $399 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2008.
GAAP Results
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $53 million,
or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $49 million, or $0.26 per
diluted share, for the third quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008
was $80 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income
for both periods excludes the effects of amortization of intangible
assets primarily related to business combinations and stock-based
compensation expense and the tax effects related to those items. In
addition, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2009
excludes charges recorded in connection with the restructuring
program that the company implemented in January 2009, and the tax
effects related to those items.
“I'm pleased with our solid third quarter results," said Mark
Templeton, president and chief executive officer for Citrix. “Our
sales, product and operational teams executed very well in a tough
economic climate to not only post good results, but to strengthen
Citrix leadership in the web collaboration, desktop virtualization
and datacenter transformation markets.”

percent;
- Technical services revenue,
which is comprised of consulting, education and technical support,

million, compared to $481 million on September 30, 2008;
- GAAP operating margin was 14

Financial Outlook
Due to the volatility of market conditions in the foreseeable
future, it is more likely that the company’s actual results could
differ materially from expectations. Similar to the financial
outlook we have provided for the last two fiscal quarters, Citrix
is continuing to provide less quantitative guidance than it has
historically.
Financial Outlook for Fourth Quarter 2009
Citrix management expects to achieve the following results
during its fourth fiscal quarter 2009 ending December 31, 2009:
- Net revenue is expected to
increase three to four percent compared to the fourth quarter of
2008; and
- Non-GAAP operating margin is
expected to increase 50 to 100 basis points compared to the fourth
quarter 2008, excluding the effects of amortization of intangible
assets primarily related to business combinations, stock-based
compensation expense, and restructuring charges as well as prior
year exclusions of in-process research and development related to
business combinations.
- Interest income is expected to
be $5 million.
The above statements are based on current expectations. These
statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ
materially.
Financial Outlook for Fiscal Year 2009
The company’s financial outlook for the full fiscal year 2009
for both net revenue and non-GAAP operating margin remains
unchanged.
- The company expects net revenue
to increase modestly as compared to 2008; and
- Non-GAAP operating margin is
expected to increase by as much as 100 basis points compared to
non-GAAP operating margin from the prior year, excluding the
effects of amortization of intangible assets primarily related to
business combinations, stock-based compensation expense, and
restructuring charges, as well as prior year exclusions of in
process research and development related to business
combinations.
The above statements are based on current expectations. These
statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ
materially.
Preliminary Financial Outlook for Fiscal Year 2010
The company’s preliminary financial outlook for the full fiscal
year 2010 is for net revenue to increase between eight and nine
percent over full fiscal year 2009, and to continue operational
leverage to drive a 75 to 100 basis point expansion in non-GAAP
operating margin over the full fiscal year 2009. Non-GAAP operating
margin excludes the effects of amortization of intangible assets
primarily related to business combinations, stock-based
compensation expense, and restructuring charges.
The above statements are based on current expectations. These
statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ
materially.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has
provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used
in this earnings release and related conference call, slide
presentation or webcast to the most directly comparable financial
measure under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States ("GAAP"). These measures differ from GAAP in that
they exclude amortization primarily related to business
combinations, stock-based compensation expenses, charges associated
with the Company’s restructuring program and the related tax effect
of those items. The Company's basis for these adjustments is
described below.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures for internal reporting
and forecasting purposes, when publicly providing its business
outlook, to evaluate the Company's performance and to evaluate and
compensate the Company's executives. The Company has provided these
non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial results
because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful information to certain investors and financial analysts for
comparison across accounting periods not influenced by certain
non-cash items that are not used by management when evaluating the
Company's historical and prospective financial performance. In
addition, the Company has historically provided this or similar
information and understands that some investors and financial
analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company's
gross margins, operating expenses and net income and comparing the
Company's financial performance to that of its peer companies and
competitors.
Management typically excludes the amounts described above when
evaluating the Company's operating performance and believes that
the resulting non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and
financial analysts in assessing the Company's operating performance
due to the following factors:
- The Company does not acquire
businesses on a predictable cycle. The Company, therefore, believes
that the presentation of non-GAAP measures that adjust for the
impact of amortization, in-process research and development and
certain stock-based compensation expenses and the related tax
effects that are primarily related to business combinations,
provide investors and financial analysts with a consistent basis
for comparison across accounting periods and, therefore, are useful
to investors and financial analysts in helping them to better
understand the Company's operating results and underlying
operational trends.
- Amortization costs and the
related tax effects are fixed at the time of an acquisition, are
then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition
and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after
the acquisition.
- Although stock-based
compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of the
Company's employees and executives, stock-based compensation
expense is generally fixed at the time of grant, then amortized
over a period of several years after the grant of the stock-based
instrument, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by
management after the grant.
- The charges incurred in
conjunction with the Company's restructuring program, which relate
to reductions in headcount and exit costs associated with
consolidating certain facilities, are not anticipated to be ongoing
costs and, thus, are outside of the normal operations of the
Company's business. The Company, therefore, believes that the
exclusion of these charges will better help investors and financial
analysts understand the Company's operating results and underlying
operational trends as compared to prior periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance
with GAAP and may differ from the non-GAAP information used by
other companies. There are significant limitations associated with
the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The additional non-GAAP
financial information presented here should be considered in
conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the
financial information presented in accordance with GAAP (such as
net income and earnings per share) and should not be considered
measures of the Company's liquidity. Furthermore, the Company in
the future may exclude amortization and in-process research and
development primarily related to new business combinations,
additional charges related to its restructuring program and the
related tax effects from financial measures that it releases, and
the Company expects to continue to incur stock-based compensation
expenses.
