Salary.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLRY), a leading provider of on-demand HRMS/payroll, compensation and talent management solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2009.

Revenue in the fourth quarter was $11.3 million, an increase of 21% over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Bookings were $12.3 million, an increase of 18% over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP operating cash flow, which excludes cash payments for severance, narrowed to an outflow of $0.6 million in the fourth quarter. GAAP operating cash flow narrowed to an outflow of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter. For the full year, revenue was $42.5 million, up 23% from fiscal 2008.

Kent Plunkett, founder and chief executive officer, stated, "The fourth quarter marks Salary.com's 32nd quarter of consecutive revenue growth. Investments the company made in 2009 paid off in the fourth quarter and we expect new products and technology as well as our expanded sales pipeline to continue to fuel growth in fiscal 2010. At the same time, the cost reductions we implemented in January helped reduce our cash outflow to the lowest level in four quarters. Furthermore, we remain on track to return to positive operating cash flow in fiscal 2010."

Plunkett continued, "Fiscal 2010 is off to a promising start as we are beginning to realize the benefits of our broadened product suite which provides us with an increasing number of cross-selling and up-selling opportunities. We believe our combination of strict cost discipline, combined with a rich, best-in-breed product portfolio, positions us as a leader in the on-demand human capital management space."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures in the text of this press release and accompanying non-GAAP supplemental information represent financial measures used by Salary.com's management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and to conduct its business operations. Non-GAAP financial measures discussed in the press release relate to the Company's net income and operating expenses and exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and restructuring charges. This press release also discusses operating cash flows excluding non-recurring severance costs as well. By excluding these items and by providing information on the Company's bookings in addition to its GAAP revenues, Salary.com can evaluate its operations and can compare its results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies in the industry. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operational performance and in assisting investors in comparing the Company's financial performance to those of other companies in the Company's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from our GAAP results of operations. Pursuant to the requirements of the SEC Regulation G, a detailed reconciliation between the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP financial results is provided in this press release and investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the Company's SEC filings.
