In a separate announcement made today, JDA reported that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with entities affiliated with RedPrairie under which JDA shareholders will receive $45.00 per share in an all-cash transaction.
JDA reported third quarter revenue of $164.5 million, compared to $173.1 million of revenue reported in third quarter 2011. Adjusted EBITDA was $44.5 million in third quarter 2012 compared to $52.9 million in the third quarter of 2011, generating an adjusted EBITDA margin of 27 percent in the current quarter compared to 31 percent in the third quarter of 2011.

Conference Call Information
In view of the separate announcement made today that JDA has entered into a definitive merger agreement with entities affiliated with RedPrairie, under which JDA shareholders will receive $45.00 per share in an all-cash transaction, JDA has cancelled its third quarter 2012 earnings conference call scheduled for 4:45 EDT on Nov 5, 2012. During the pendency of the transaction, the Company will report quarterly results consistent with its current schedule, but will not host quarterly conference calls.
Software and Subscription
Software and subscription revenue was $31.5 million in the third quarter 2012 compared to $38.5 million in the third quarter 2011. In 2012, the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region license sales in Europe and license sales to manufacturing customers in North America were negatively impacted by the overall macro-economic conditions. License sales in the Asia-Pacific region continued to show a recovery as sales in this region increased 88 percent over Q3 2011, to $3.2 million. The Company closed 37 software deals, including six deals in excess of $1 million in the current quarter, compared to 49 deals, including 10 over $1 million in the prior year period. Additionally, the average sales price for the trailing 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2012 was $724,000 compared to $843,000 for the trailing 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2011.
Maintenance and Support Services
Maintenance revenue increased 2 percent to $68.8 million in the third quarter 2012 from $67.6 million in the third quarter 2011. This increase was due to a continued strong retention rate of 95.3 percent, compared to 95.7 percent in the third quarter 2011, and the high level of attachment of maintenance contracts to new license deals. Maintenance gross margins remained solid at 79.5 percent in the third quarter 2012 compared to 79.8 percent in the third quarter 2011.
Consulting Services
Consulting services revenue was $64.3 million in the third quarter 2012 compared to $67.0 million in the third quarter 2011. Consulting revenue was negatively impacted due to a large year-over-year reduction in scope of work from a customer in the Asia-Pacific region. Consulting services gross margins declined to 20.8 percent in the third quarter 2012 compared to 24.6 percent in the third quarter 2011 due to a decrease in billable hours, partially offset by an increase in average billing rates. Sequentially, consulting gross margins decreased slightly from 21.6 percent in the second quarter 2012.
Other Financial Data
- Product development expenses as a percent of revenue remained constant at 11 percent in the third quarter 2012 compared to the third quarter 2011, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the Company's technology and solutions. Sales and marketing expenses as a percent of revenue remained at 15 percent in the third quarter 2012 compared to the third quarter 2011. General and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue were 13 percent in the third quarter 2012 compared to 9 percent in the third quarter 2011. The increase in the third quarter 2012 amounts are primarily due to increased personnel and infrastructure systems costs, and also include $1.7 million of costs associated with the revenue recognition investigation and restatement completed in the quarter.
- Cash flow provided by operations increased to $40.4 million in third quarter 2012 as compared to cash flow provided by operations of $36.9 million in third quarter 2011 driven primarily by strong collections in the current period.
- Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, sequentially increased by $45.3 million to $411.7 million at Sept. 30, 2012, from $366.4 million at June 30, 2012.

Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, 2012 Results
- Revenue for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012 decreased two percent to $495.5 million from $506.1 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011. The overall revenue decrease was driven by a decrease in software and subscription revenue, partially offset by increases in maintenance and services revenue.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $127.6 million, or 26 percent of revenue, for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012 compared to $137.1 million, or 27 percent of revenue, in the first nine months of 2011.
- Adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012 was $1.51 compared to $1.68 per share for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011. Adjusted non-GAAP earnings exclude amortization of acquired software technology and intangibles, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, costs related to the revenue recognition investigation and restatement in 2012 and a credit associated with the favorable settlement of the patent infringement case in 2011.
- The GAAP net income applicable to common shareholders for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012 was $26.4 million or $0.61 per share, compared to net income of $79.1 million or $1.85 per share for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011. Results for the nine months ended Sept. 2012 include $12.5 million of costs related to the revenue recognition investigation and restatement in 2012. Results for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011 include a $37.5 million pre-tax credit associated with the favorable settlement of the patent infringement case.
- Cash flow from operations was $118.2 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012 compared to cash flow from operations of $130.0 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011. The decrease in operating cash flow from the prior period was primarily due to $37.5 million received in 2011 from the favorable patent litigation settlement and 2012 improvements in working capital from favorable changes in payables and receivables.

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “believe,” “should,” “would,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “can,” “may,” and “expect” and other words with forward-looking connotations. All forward-looking statements are subject to a number of important factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in, or predicted by, any forward-looking statements. These factors and risks include, but are not limited to, financial, operational and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. JDA is not under any obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release and the related conference call contain non-GAAP financial measures. In evaluating the Company’s performance, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP. Management’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is intended to be supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by JDA
The Company uses non-GAAP measures of performance, including adjusted net income, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and earnings per share, in its public statements. Management uses, and chooses to disclose, these non-GAAP financial measures because (i) such measures provide an additional analytical tool to clarify the Company’s results from operations and help the Company to identify underlying trends in its results of operations; (ii) the Company uses non-GAAP earnings measures, including EBITDA, as a measure of profitability because such measures help the Company compare its performance on a consistent basis across time periods; and (iii) these non-GAAP measures are employed by the Company’s management in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in financial and operational decision making processes, such as budget planning and forecasting. The Company also internally uses adjusted EBITDA measures for determining (a) compliance with certain financial covenants in its credit agreement and (b) executive and employee compensation. Set forth below are additional reasons why specific items are excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures:
- Amortization charges for acquired software technology are excluded because they result from prior acquisitions, rather than ongoing operations, and absent additional acquisitions, are expected to decline over time.
- Amortization charges for other intangibles are excluded because they are non-cash expenses, and while tangible and intangible assets support our business, we do not believe the related amortization costs are directly attributable to the operating performance of our business.
- Restructuring charges are significant non-routine expenses that cannot be predicted and typically relate to a change in our business model or to a change in our estimate of the costs to complete a plan to exit an activity of an acquired company. The exclusion of these charges promotes period-to-period comparisons and transparency. Such charges are primarily related to severance costs and/or the disposition of excess facilities driven by the changes to our business model.
- Stock-based compensation is not an expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by the Company.
- Litigation settlement costs related to inherited i2 litigation and the investigation and restatement costs are significant non-routine expenses. Exclusion of these costs promotes period-to-period comparisons and transparency as we do not believe these costs are directly attributable to the operating performance of our business.
Material Limitations (and Compensation thereof) Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP results. In the future, the Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures excluding items described above and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above. Accordingly, exclusion of these and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP financial measures are:
- Amortization of acquired technology and intangibles, though not directly affecting our current cash position, represent the loss in value as the technology in our industry evolves, is advanced or is replaced over time. The expense associated with this loss in value is not included in the non-GAAP net income presentation and therefore does not reflect the full economic effect of the ongoing cost of maintaining our current technological position in our competitive industry which is addressed through our research and development program.
- The Company may engage in acquisition transactions in the future. In addition, we incur other restructuring charges from time to time when necessary to adjust our business model. Restructuring related charges may therefore continue to be incurred and should not be viewed as non-recurring.
- Stock-based compensation is an important component of our incentive compensation arrangements and will be reflected as expenses in our GAAP results for the foreseeable future.
- Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. We also provide reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to our most directly comparable GAAP measure, and we encourage investors to review carefully those reconciliations.
Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors
The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is warranted for several reasons. First, such non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management an additional analytical tool for understanding the Company’s financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. Second, since the Company has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency and enhances investors’ ability to compare the Company’s performance across financial reporting periods.
