KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neoware,
Inc. (NASDAQ:NWRE), the leading supplier of enterprise thin client
solutions and related software and services that make computing
more secure, reliable, affordable and manageable, today reported
all-time record revenues for its second fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 2005. "Neoware is reporting another quarter of record
financial results as a result of robust demand for our thin client
solutions," commented Michael Kantrowitz, Neoware's Chairman and
CEO. FY06 Q2 Financial Highlights: -- Revenues increased 43% to
$29,337,000 from $20,471,000 in the prior year second quarter. --
Gross profit was $12,905,000, or 44% of revenue, compared to
$8,745,000, or 43% of revenue, in the prior year second quarter.
Excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and
stock- based compensation, non-GAAP gross profit was 45% of revenue
in the December 2005 quarter, compared to 44% of revenue in the
prior year quarter. -- Operating expenses were $9,244,000, or 32%
of revenue, compared to $5,594,000, or 27% of revenue, in the prior
year second quarter. Excluding amortization of acquisition-related
intangibles and stock option expense, non-GAAP operating expenses
were $7,991,000, or 27% of revenue, compared to $5,375,000, or 26%
of revenue, in the prior year second quarter. -- GAAP net income
per share for the quarter was $.15 per diluted share, compared to
$.13 per diluted share, in the prior year second quarter. --
Non-GAAP net income per share for the quarter increased 57% to $.22
per fully diluted share, compared to $.14 per fully diluted share,
in the year ago quarter. Non-GAAP net income excludes amortization
of acquisition-related intangibles and stock based compensation and
applies pro forma tax rates of 33% and 34% in the second quarter of
fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, for the purpose of showing a
comparable view of the Company's performance from period to period.
"Neoware's strong financial performance is driven by increasing
demand for our thin client solutions," commented Mr. Kantrowitz.
"Neoware's products address some of the most important challenges
faced by CIOs today by enhancing security, improving manageability
and lowering total cost of ownership. These benefits continue to
accelerate Neoware thin client adoption by enterprises around the
globe." "In November, we closed our acquisition of Maxspeed
Corporation, and in January we completed the integration of
Maxspeed into our global business. For the December quarter,
Maxspeed contributed approximately $800,000 of revenue; and
consistent with our past practice, we will not be able to report
this separately in future periods, as the Maxspeed products,
customers and technologies have now been integrated into our
business and can no longer be separately measured." "After
completing this and the other global acquisitions we announced in
2005, Neoware now has sales and integration centers in the U.S.,
Austria, Australia, China, France, Germany, India, and the U.K.,
which gives us the ability to engage with large enterprise
customers and to integrate our thin client software into their IT
infrastructure." "Neoware has built successful partnerships with
other industry leaders, and these partnerships continue to deliver
excellent results. Our alliances with IBM and Lenovo delivered
significant enterprise business in the quarter, and represented a
new record. We believe that Neoware's new, global organization
gives us even greater ability to capitalize on these alliances, as
well as the opportunity to create new ones," Mr. Kantrowitz
concluded. FY06 Guidance: Based upon performance for the fiscal
2006 year-to-date period and currently available information, the
Company is updating its guidance for the balance of fiscal 2006 as
follows: -- Revenues for the fiscal year are expected to be
approximately $114 million, up from the Company's prior guidance of
$110 million, reflecting growth of approximately 45% from fiscal
2005. -- Gross profit margins are expected to be in the range of
40% to 45% for the year. -- Non-GAAP operating expenses, excluding
stock option expense and amortization of acquisition-related
intangibles, are expected to remain below 30%, and to be leveraged
as revenues grow. -- Acquisition-related amortization is expected
to be approximately $350,000 per quarter in cost of sales and
approximately $600,000 in operating expenses. -- Stock option
expense is expected to be approximately $25,000 per quarter in cost
of sales and approximately $725,000 per quarter in operating
expenses, subject to additions should we make additional grants in
fiscal 2006. -- The Company's GAAP effective tax rate is expected
to be 36% and the non-GAAP rate, which excludes the impact of
non-deductible stock option expense related to incentive stock
options for fiscal 2006, to be 33%. CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION

this earnings release and during our earnings conference call as
described above, we use or plan to discuss certain financial
measures, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures.
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a
company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either
excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or
included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, or GAAP. A reconciliation between
non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying
schedule and in the News section of our web site at
http://www.neoware.com/. We have provided the non-GAAP measures in
order to present information about the Company's financial
performance, as we believe it provides a more accurate view of the
financial performance of the Company's core business and trends
relating to its financial condition and results of operations
including its cash requirements for ongoing operating activities.
We compute non-GAAP net income by adjusting GAAP net income before
taxes for amortization of acquired intangible assets such as
intellectual property, customer lists and non-compete agreements,
and stock-based compensation. We compute non-GAAP gross profit and
operating expenses by adjusting the respective GAAP amounts for
amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock based
compensation. In addition, we used pro-forma tax rates of 33% and
34% the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. This
compares to GAAP effective tax rates for the same periods of 36%
and 34% for the 2006 and 2005 second quarter periods, respectively.
