Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB), the leading provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Marc Chardon, Chief Executive Officer of Blackbaud, stated, “A strong finish to the quarter enabled the Company to deliver revenue near the high-end of our guidance, with profitability coming in well ahead of our expectations. Highlights included record eCRM sales activity and the strong performance of our online fundraising solutions, especially our Blackbaud Sphere offering. The success of our key growth initiatives, coupled with our focus on cost controls is playing a key role in helping the Company weather the current economic storm.”
Chardon added, “While our first quarter results were better-than-expected, the market environment remains challenging as the difficult and uncertain economic conditions continue to put pressure on the spending of many organizations in the nonprofit industry. We will continue to manage our expenses carefully; but, we will also continue to invest in the strategic growth initiatives that are contributing to our short-term business and, more importantly, position the Company for enhanced long-term growth.”
On a GAAP basis, Blackbaud reported total revenue of $74.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of 8% compared with the first quarter of 2008. Income from operations and net income were $7.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, compared with $11.3 million and $7.0 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $0.09 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared with $0.16 in the same period last year.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, non-GAAP revenue, including a $1.2 million revenue adjustment related to Kintera purchase accounting, was $75.9 million, an increase of 9% compared with the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, was $14.0 million, above the Company’s guidance of $11.7 to $12.7 million and compared to $14.7 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income was $8.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared with $9.0 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.19 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, above the Company’s guidance of $0.16 to $0.17 and compared to $0.20 in the same period last year.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
The Company ended the quarter with $23.0 million in cash, up from $16.4 million at the end of the previous quarter. The increase in cash was driven primarily by $12.4 million in cash from operations, offset partially by the quarterly payment of dividends to stockholders.
Timothy V. Williams, Chief Financial Officer of Blackbaud, stated, “The Company’s ability to deliver better-than-expected profitability in the first quarter is a reflection of our effective cost controls and on-going commitment to identifying ways to run our business more efficiently. We believe these efforts, combined with the fact that a majority of our revenue comes from recurring revenue sources, position the Company well to continue delivering substantial profitability and cash flow during 2009.”
Second Quarter 2009 Dividend and Share Repurchase Program
Blackbaud announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a second quarter dividend of $0.10 per share payable on June 15, 2009 to stockholders of record on May 28, 2009. Additionally, as of March 31, the Company had approximately $30 million remaining under its common stock share repurchase program that was authorized approximately a year ago.

Forward-looking Statements
Except for historical information, all of the statements, expectations, and assumptions contained in this news release are forward-looking statements that 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: general economic risks; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; continued success in sales growth; management of integration of acquired companies and other risks associated with acquisitions; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; risks related to our dividend policy and share repurchase program, including potential limitations on our ability to grow and the possibility that we might discontinue payment of dividends; risks relating to restrictions imposed by the credit facility; risks associated with management of growth; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; 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.
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 income from operations and margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. 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 with other companies in Blackbaud's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above exclude stock-based compensation expense and costs associated with amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations and include revenue associated with the Kintera acquisition that is not recognizable under GAAP purchase accounting.
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 measure below. As previously mentioned, 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.
