Kenexa (Nasdaq: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions
for human resources, today announced operating results for the
third quarter, ended September 30, 2011.
For the third quarter of 2011, Kenexa reported total GAAP
revenue of $75.7 million, with non-GAAP revenue of $77.2 million
after eliminating the $1.5 million GAAP adjustment to deferred
revenue resulting from the October 2010 acquisition of Salary.com,
Inc. Non-GAAP revenue was $50.8 million for the third quarter of
2010. Within total non-GAAP revenue, subscription revenue was $55.0
million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 38% compared
with $39.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. Professional
services and other revenue was $22.2 million for the third quarter
of 2011, an increase of 102% compared to $11.0 million for the
third quarter of 2010.
“Our third quarter financial results were above our expectations
and reflect the building momentum of Kenexa’s unique value
proposition in the market place. The combination of our software
and content continue to drive the majority of our revenue, while
our RPO business experienced a record quarterly performance and
included the two largest customer wins in the history of our
company,” said Rudy Karsan, Chief Executive Officer of Kenexa.
“While we continue to watch the global economy carefully, our
confidence regarding Kenexa’s long-term market position has never
been greater and we are increasing our 2011 outlook based on our
strong third quarter performance and continued market share
gains.”
Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes share-based
compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles and the
purchase accounting impact to Salary.com’s deferred revenue, was
$8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This
was above the Company’s guidance of $7.1 million to $7.5 million
and represented an increase of 98% compared to non-GAAP income from
operations of $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2010.
Non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders, which
excludes the items listed above and accretion associated with a
variable interest entity, was $6.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2010. Non-GAAP net income available to
common shareholders was $0.23 per diluted share for the quarter
ended September 30, 2011, up 44% compared to $0.16 per diluted
share in the third quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP net income per diluted
share for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.03 above the high-end of
the Company’s guidance of $0.19 to $0.20.
Kenexa’s income from operations for the three months ended
September 30, 2011, determined in accordance with GAAP, was $1.3
million, compared to income from operations of $1.5 million for the
same period of 2010. GAAP net loss available to common shareholders
was approximately $3.1 million, or a loss of $0.12 per basic and
diluted shares for the three months ended September 30, 2011,
compared to net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and
diluted share, in the same period of 2010.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided
in the financial statement tables included at the end of this press
release. An explanation of these measures is also included below
under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Kenexa had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $124.9
million at September 30, 2011, compared to $127.5 million at the
end of the prior quarter. The decrease in cash was primarily
related to $4.2 million used to pay down long-term debt and $1.8
million used to settle legacy shareholder lawsuits for Salary.com.
The Company also generated $10.9 million in cash from operations
for the third quarter.
Deferred revenue was $87.3 million at September 30, 2011, an
increase of 49% from September 30, 2010 and up from $84.9 million
at the end of the second quarter of 2011.
Other Third Quarter and Recent Highlights
- More than 60 “preferred partner”
customers were added during the quarter (defined as customers that
spend more than $50,000 annually), an increase from the over 40
preferred partner customer additions in the year ago period.
- The average annualized revenue from the
Company’s top 80 customers, or P-cubed metric, was greater than
$1.6 million, an increase from the over $1.2 million level in the
third quarter of 2010.
- Announced the launch of Kenexa 2x
Perform™, which offers integrated, enterprise-class performance
management, succession and compensation planning tools to drive
organizational alignment and ensure top performers are retained and
engaged.
- Announced an alliance with SkillSoft, a
leading SaaS provider of e-learning content, technology and
services, to integrate and market Kenexa’s Global Talent Management
solutions with SkillSoft’s learning content and platform
technology.
Business Outlook
Based on information as of today, November 1, 2011, the Company
is issuing financial guidance as follows:
Fourth Quarter 2011*: The Company expects GAAP revenue to
be $74.7 million to $76.7 million. Excluding the GAAP adjustment to
deferred revenue, resulting from the Salary.com acquisition, the
Company expects non-GAAP revenue to be $76.0 million to $78.0
million, and non-GAAP operating income to be $9.2 million to $9.6
million. Assuming an effective tax rate for reporting purposes of
approximately 20% and approximately 28.0 million shares
outstanding, Kenexa expects its non-GAAP net income per diluted
share to be $0.25 to $0.26.
Full Year 2011*: The Company expects GAAP revenue to be
$279.4 million to $281.4 million. Excluding the GAAP adjustment to
deferred revenue, the Company expects non-GAAP revenue to be $287.4
million to $289.4 million, and non-GAAP operating income to be
$28.9 million to $29.3 million. Assuming an effective tax rate for
reporting purposes of approximately 20% and approximately 26.5
million shares outstanding, Kenexa expects its non-GAAP net income
per diluted share to be $0.81 to $0.82.
* Kenexa’s non-GAAP results exclude stock-based compensation
expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition-related
fees, the purchase accounting reduction for Salary.com’s revenue, a
benefit related to a legal settlement, non-recurring litigation
charges and accretion associated with a variable interest
entity.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain “forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and
other statements contained in this press release that are not
historical facts and statements identified by words such as
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"estimates" or words of similar meaning. These statements may
contain, among other things, guidance as to future revenue and
earnings, operations, expected benefits from acquisitions,
prospects of the business generally, intellectual property and the
development of products. These statements are based on our current
beliefs or expectations and are inherently subject to various risks
and uncertainties, including those set forth under the caption
"Risk Factors" in Kenexa’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as revised
or supplemented by Kenexa’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Actual
results may differ materially from these expectations due to
changes in global political, economic, business, competitive,
market and regulatory factors, Kenexa’s ability to implement
business and acquisition strategies or to complete or integrate
acquisitions. Kenexa does not undertake any obligation to update
any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Kenexa
believes that non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful
information to management and investors regarding certain financial
and business trends relating to Kenexa’s financial condition and
results of operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP
results to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior
periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining executive
incentive compensation, and for budget and planning purposes. These
measures are used in monthly financial reports prepared for
management and in quarterly financial reports presented to the
Company’s Board of Directors. The Company believes that the use of
these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for
investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends
and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in the
Company’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP
financial measures to investors.
Management of the Company does not consider such non-GAAP
measures in isolation or as an alternative to such measures
determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of
such non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant
expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition,
they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the
exercise of judgment by management about which charges are excluded
from the non-GAAP financial measures.
In order to compensate for these limitations, management of the
Company presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with
its GAAP results. Kenexa urges investors and potential investors in
the Company’s securities to review the reconciliation of its
non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial
measures which it includes in press releases announcing earnings
information, including this press release, and not to rely on any
single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
We have not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking
non-GAAP financial measures to the directly comparable GAAP
measures because, due primarily to variability and difficulty in
making accurate forecasts and projections, not all of the
information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is
available to us without unreasonable efforts.
Kenexa presents the following non-GAAP financial measures in
this press release: non-GAAP revenue; non-GAAP cash from
operations; non-GAAP income from operations; non-GAAP net income
allocable to common shareholders’; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP
operating margin, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share as
described below.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude the
following:
Non-GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP revenue
consists of GAAP revenue and the effect of the write down of the
deferred revenue associated with purchase accounting for the
Salary.com acquisition. This effect during the three months ended
September 30, 2011 was $1.5 million and is added back since the
Company believes its inclusion provides a more accurate depiction
of total revenue.
Non-GAAP cash from operations.
Non-GAAP cash from operations consists of GAAP cash from operations
adjusted for non-recurring legal fees associated with our
acquisitions and litigation totaling $1.8 million. These exclusions
are made to GAAP cash from operations to facilitate a consistent
and more meaningful comparison to the prior year period as their
effect was not included in our third quarter 2010 results.
Share-based compensation expense.
Share-based compensation expense consists of expenses for stock
options and stock awards that the Company began recording in
accordance with ASC 718 during the first quarter of 2006.
Share-based compensation was $1.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2011 and $1.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2010. Share-based compensation expenses are
excluded in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures because
share-based compensation amounts are difficult to forecast. This is
due in part to the magnitude of the charges which depends upon the
volume and timing of stock option grants, which are unpredictable
and can vary dramatically from period to period, and external
factors such as interest rates and the trading price and volatility
of the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that this
exclusion provides meaningful supplemental information regarding
the Company’s operating results because these non-GAAP financial
measures facilitate the comparison of results for future periods
with results from past periods. The dilutive effect of all
outstanding options is included in the calculation of diluted
earnings per share on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis.
Amortization of acquired intangible
assets. In accordance with GAAP, operating expenses include
amortization of acquired intangible assets which are amortized over
the estimated useful lives of such assets. Amortization of acquired
intangible assets was $3.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2011, and $0.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2010. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is
excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures because the
Company believes that such exclusion facilitates comparisons to its
historical operating results and to the results of other companies
in the same industry, which have their own unique acquisition
histories.
Acquisition-related fees. In
accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, acquisition-related
fees including advisory, legal, accounting and other professional
fees are reported as expense in the periods in which the costs are
incurred and the services are received. Acquisition-related fees of
$0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, include
legal, travel, and other fees not expected to reoccur from the
acquisitions. Acquisition-related fees are excluded in the non-GAAP
financial measures because the Company believes that such exclusion
facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to
the results of other companies in the same industry, which have
their own unique acquisition histories.
Accretion of variable interest
entity. In accordance with ASC 810, Variable Interest
Entities, the Chinese joint venture is subject to periodic
adjustment in its value. The accretion of the variable interest
entity of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
2011, and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30,
2010, is excluded in the non-GAAP financial measures because the
Company believes that such exclusion facilitates comparisons to its
historical operating results and to the results of other companies
in the same industry, which have their own unique acquisition
histories.
