Company Delivers 24% Year-Over-Year Growth and Record Bookings and
Revenues in Q4 2006; REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 1
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tumbleweed Communications Corp.
(NASDAQ:TMWD), a leading provider of messaging security products,
today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full
year ended December 31, 2006. Tumbleweed reported record revenue of
$62.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of
24% year-over-year, and non-GAAP net income of $2.2 million, or
$0.04 per share, for the full year. GAAP net loss was $4.9 million,
which included stock-based compensation expense of $4.6 million and
$2.5 million for the amortization of intangible assets. These
results include an expense of $933,000, or $(0.02) per share,
recognized in the fourth quarter of 2006, for transition of the
Company's hardware products to an improved appliance platform. Cash
and cash equivalents were $30.5 million at December 31, 2006
compared to $27.0 million a year ago. "The results we delivered in
2006 demonstrate that the actions that we have taken to strengthen
the company's business have been successful," said James P.
Scullion, Chief Executive Officer of Tumbleweed. "We delivered our
fourth consecutive year of revenue growth, record license revenue,
our first full year of non-GAAP profitability and our ninth
consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operations."
"Leading global enterprises continue to select Tumbleweed's
solutions because of our expertise in messaging security and the
ease of use of our products -- we are critical to their businesses.
In 2006, we increased our customer base to more than 2,400 active
accounts and count seven of the top 10 global financial
institutions, nearly 50% of the Fortune 100 companies, and many
leading healthcare providers and government agencies among our
customers. I am very pleased with the momentum we built as we
closed the year and believe we are in a strong position to leverage
our success and leadership into 2007 and beyond," concluded
Scullion. Financial Results Total revenue for the fourth quarter of
2006 was $16.7 million, an 11% increase from $15.1 million in the
third quarter of 2006 and a 41% increase from $11.8 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005. Product revenue for the fourth quarter of
2006 was $8.7 million, up 20% from $7.3 million in the third
quarter of 2006 and up 94% from the fourth quarter of 2005. Service
revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $7.6 million, up from
$7.5 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $7.0 million in the
fourth quarter of 2005. Tumbleweed reported a non-GAAP net loss for
the fourth quarter of 2006 of $242,000, or $(0.00) per share,
compared to non-GAAP net income of $172,000, or $0.00 per share, in
the third quarter of 2006 and a non-GAAP net loss of $549,000, or
$(0.01) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP results
exclude stock-based compensation expense of $840,000 in the fourth
quarter of 2006, $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, and
$62,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005, and the amortization of
intangible assets in the amounts of $438,000 in each of third and
fourth quarters of 2006 and $831,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005.
GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $1.5 million, as
compared to $1.4 million in both the third quarter of 2006 and the
fourth quarter of 2005. The fourth quarter and full year 2006
results included an expense of $933,000, or $(0.02) per share, for
the estimated loss on inventory as a result of the Company's
decision to transition its hardware products from a proprietary
design to a standard product offering. This transition is expected
to provide increased product performance and customer satisfaction
while allowing the Company to focus on its core security software
expertise. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $62.0
million, a 24% increase from $50.0 million for the previous year.
Product revenue was $28.7 million in 2006, up 37% from $20.9
million in 2005. Net income on a non-GAAP basis was $2.2 million or
$0.04 per share for the full year 2006, compared with a non-GAAP
net loss of $171,000, or $(0.00) per share, for the full year 2005.
On a GAAP basis, the net loss for the full year 2006, was $4.9
million, or $(0.10) per share, compared to a net loss of $3.9
million, or $(0.08) per share, for the full year 2005. Recent
Announcements * Tumbleweed received a SC Magazine Best of 2006
Award in the Anti-Spam category. Tumbleweed's MailGate(R) 5550
product line was selected as a "Recommended" product by SC Magazine
editors who recognized the best products reviewed over the course
of 2006. SC Magazine described the MailGate Appliance(TM) 5550 as
"simple to use but with plenty of power" while providing "a range
of powerful anti-spam services behind a deceptively simple
interface." * Tumbleweed introduced its Adaptive Image Filtering
(AIF) technology, specifically designed to combat the
ever-increasing amount of image spam. Tumbleweed's Message
Protection Lab found as much as 36 percent of all spam was
image-based, yet it is not consistently blocked as a result of
outdated signature and reputation-based technologies. Tumbleweed's
AIF technology analyzes email images using wavelet transform, an
image-processing technique that reduces the image to a mathematical
formula that represents the structure of the image but allows
"fuzzy matching." This image processing takes into account the
image-randomizing practices that spammers rely on to circumvent
email filters. Financial Outlook First Quarter of 2007: * The
Company currently expects total revenue for the first quarter of
2007 to be between $14.0 million and $15.5 million. * Non-GAAP
results are currently expected to range from a loss of $700,000 to
income of $200,000, or ($0.01) to $0.00 per share. * GAAP results
are currently expected to range from a net loss of $2.0 million to
$1.1 million, or $(0.04) to $(0.02) per share, after including an
estimated $900,000 for stock-based compensation and $400,000 for
the amortization of intangible assets. * Per share amounts are
based on an estimated 50.6 million shares outstanding. Full Year
2007: * The Company's currently expects revenue for the full year
2007 to be between $70 million and $75 million. * Non-GAAP income
for 2007 is currently expected to be in a range of $5.2 million and
$7.5 million, or $0.10 to $0.15 per share. * Including an estimated
$3.5 million for stock-based compensation expense and the
amortization of intangible assets of $1.2 million, GAAP income is
currently estimated to be $500,000 to $2.8 million, or $0.01 to
$0.05 per share. * Per share amounts are based on an estimated 51.0
million shares outstanding. Conference Call Information Tumbleweed
