Blackbaud, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2015 Results
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Achieves 15.2% Revenue Growth; Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Growth of 8.5%
CHARLESTON, S.C., April 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blackbaud, Inc.
(Nasdaq:BLKB), a leading global provider of software and services for the
nonprofit, charitable giving and education communities, today announced
financial results for its first quarter ended March 31.
First Quarter 2015 Highlights
* Non-GAAP organic revenue growth accelerated to 8.5%; 9.7% in constant
currency
* Total revenue growth of 15.2% to $147.0 million
* Recurring revenue increased to 75.8% of total revenue
* Total subscriptions revenue growth of 24.4% to $72.5 million
Mike Gianoni, president and CEO, commented, "We are very pleased with the strong
start to the year in both revenue and profitability. Our recurring revenue has
continued to grow in line with our strategy, and exceeded 75% of total revenue
for the first time in our history. In addition, we continued solid execution on
our key programs within our five growth and operational improvement strategies."
"Our organic growth and improved non-GAAP operating margin are additional steps
toward our long term aspirational goals. We remain committed to achieving the
2015 revenue, profit and cash flow guidance that we provided earlier this year,"
concluded Mr. Gianoni.
First Quarter 2015 GAAP Financial Results
Blackbaud generated total revenue of $147.0 million in the first quarter of
2015, an increase of 15.2% compared to $127.6 million in the first quarter of
2014. Income from operations and net income were $8.0 million and $4.3 million,
respectively, compared to $9.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in the
first quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per share was $0.09 in the first quarter
of 2015, compared to $0.08 in the same period last year.
Total revenue, income from operations and net income were positively impacted in
the first quarter from growth in subscriptions revenue and contributions from
acquisitions completed in 2014. The positive impacts to income from operations
and net income were offset by increased amortization of intangible assets
arising from those acquisitions.
First Quarter 2015 Non-GAAP Financial Results
Blackbaud achieved non-GAAP revenue of $150.5 million and non-GAAP organic
revenue growth of 8.5% in the first quarter of 2015. On a constant currency
basis, non-GAAP organic revenue growth was 9.7% in the first quarter of 2015.
Non-GAAP organic revenue growth includes $11.1 million of incremental non-GAAP
revenue in the first quarter of 2014 associated with acquired companies, as if
the companies were combined throughout the prior period.
Non-GAAP income from operations increased 33.1% to $26.5 million in the first
quarter of 2015, compared to $19.9 million in the same period last year. Non-
GAAP net income increased 34.5% to $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2015
compared to $11.1 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share was $0.32 for the first quarter of 2015, up from $0.24 per
diluted share in the same period last year. An explanation of these measures is
included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income were positively impacted
in the first quarter by growth in subscriptions revenue and contributions from
acquisitions completed in 2014.
Tony Boor, Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, "We are seeing the
positive benefits of the investments we have made in areas targeted to
accelerate growth, increase total recurring revenue, and continue to increase
our operational efficiencies. Our non-GAAP organic revenue growth of 8.5% was a
strong ramp from Q4. This was achieved despite the near term impact to revenue
of the Raiser's Edge and Financial Edge product transition to NXT subscription-
based offers and the currency headwinds from the strong dollar."
"In addition, our non-GAAP income from operations grew faster than non-GAAP
revenue resulting in non-GAAP operating margin expansion. The improvement in
non-GAAP margins year-over-year shows that we continue to gain operating
leverage in the business through solid execution on our strategic initiatives,"
concluded Mr. Boor.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The company ended the first quarter with $13.3 million of cash and cash
equivalents, compared to $14.7 million on December 31, 2014. The company
generated $4.2 million in cash flow from operations during the first quarter,
increased net borrowings by $5.1 million, returned $5.6 million to stockholders
by way of dividend and had cash outlays of $5.7 million for capital expenditures
and capitalized software.
The reduction in cash flow from operations for the first quarter of 2015 when
compared to the same period last year was primarily due to a combination of the
change in the timing of payouts for certain bonus plans, from quarterly to
annually, and an increase in amounts paid resulting from over-performance
against 2014 financial targets.
Dividend
Blackbaud announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a second
quarter 2015 dividend of $0.12 per share payable on June 15 to stockholders of
record on May 28.

Forward-looking Statements
Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations, and
assumptions contained in this news release are forward-looking statements which
are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding:
estimates for achievement of 2015 financial guidance and long term aspirational
goals; expectations for continuing to execute our five point growth and
operational improvement strategy; expectations that our recurring revenue will
continue to grow in line with strategy expectations and that past investments
will continue to accelerate growth and operational efficiencies; and
expectations that product transitions will increase revenue. These statements
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Although Blackbaud attempts to be
accurate in making these forward-looking statements, it is possible that future
circumstances might differ from the assumptions on which such statements are
based. In addition, other important factors that could cause results to differ
materially include the following: management of integration of acquired
companies; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing
customers; a shifting revenue mix that may impact gross margin; continued
success in sales growth; risks related to our dividend policy and stock
repurchase program, including the possibility that we might discontinue payment
of dividends; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in the SEC
filings for Blackbaud, copies of which are available free of charge at the SEC's
website at www.sec.gov or upon request from Blackbaud's investor relations
department. Blackbaud assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these
forward-looking statements, except as required by law. All Blackbaud product

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Blackbaud has provided in this release financial information that has not been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP revenue,
non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations,
non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The company has acquired businesses whose net
tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting
requirements, the company recorded write-downs of deferred revenue to fair
value, which resulted in lower recognized revenue. Both on a quarterly and year-
to-date basis, the revenue for the acquired business is deferred and typically
recognized over a one-year period, so our GAAP revenues for the one-year period
after the acquisition will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would
have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair
value. The non-GAAP measures described above reverse the acquisition-related
deferred revenue write-downs so that the full amount of revenue booked by the
acquired companies is included, which we believe provides a more accurate
representation of a revenue run-rate in a given period. In addition to reversing
write-downs of acquisition-related deferred revenue, non-GAAP financial measures
discussed above exclude the impact of certain items that we believe are not
directly related to our performance in any particular period, but are for our
long-term benefit over multiple periods.
In addition, we discuss non-GAAP organic revenue growth and non-GAAP organic
revenue growth on a constant currency basis, which we believe provide useful
tools for evaluating the periodic growth of our business on a consistent basis.
For companies acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, non-GAAP
organic revenue growth reflects presentation of full year or stub period
incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies as if they were
combined throughout the prior period, and it includes the current period non-
GAAP revenue attributable to those companies. We believe this presentation
provides a more comparable representation of our current business' organic
revenue growth and revenue run-rate. To determine non-GAAP organic revenue
growth on a constant currency basis for first quarter of 2015, revenues from
entities reporting in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars using
the comparable prior year period's quarterly weighted average foreign currency
exchange rates which resulted in $1.7 million of incremental non-GAAP revenue
for the first quarter of 2015.
Blackbaud uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its
financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to
GAAP measures, in evaluating Blackbaud's ongoing operational performance.
Blackbaud 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 results from period to period with other
companies in Blackbaud's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP
financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be
completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to
potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. In
addition, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation
from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A
reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables
included below in this press release.
