Business Discussion

“We continued our strong momentum in our eDiscovery business, including organically growing Daegis revenues 48% year-over-year,” said Todd Wille, CEO of Unify. “Third quarter total revenue grew 44% year-over-year as a result of our merger with Daegis. Additionally, excluding the $0.9 million gain related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration recorded in the third quarter of last year, Adjusted EBITDA grew 12% on a year-over-year basis.”

Our eDiscovery business continues to grow as the result of new client wins and the expansion of our technology and service offerings that help clients increase efficiency and lower their eDiscovery costs. With a $7 billion and growing annual eDiscovery market and no clear market leader, we believe Daegis has a significant opportunity to become the leading eDiscovery technology and services provider.”

Fiscal 2011 Financial Guidance

Regarding guidance, Wille commented, “As we’ve discussed in the past, our migration business continues to be opportunistic and difficult to predict with respect to the timing of closing deals. We are experiencing delays in closing migration deals, particularly in our government modernization practice. Therefore, we are reducing our annual revenue guidance.”

Unify now expects GAAP revenue for fiscal 2011 to be in the range of $46 million to $50 million. The Company is not changing its fiscal 2011 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, which is expected to be a minimum of $7.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA represents the traditional EBITDA plus an additional add back for stock compensation expense.
