April 30, 2015 4:06 PM

DUBLIN, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/30/15 -- Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ: CALD), a global leader in cloud-based sales, marketing, learning and customer experience solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

"I was pleased with our focus on execution in Q1. In a busy quarter when we moved our headquarters and conducted a successful secondary offering we achieved record revenues and record recurring revenues. We beat both our cloud revenue growth percentage and total revenue guidance. Our priorities for the remainder of 2015 are to continue to grow the cloud business at 35% and to make money," said Leslie Stretch, president and CEO of CallidusCloud.

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter 2015 Total revenue was $39.7 million for the first quarter, an increase of 28%. Total recurring revenue was $28.9 million, which includes SaaS revenue of $25.0 million and maintenance revenue of $3.9 million. SaaS revenue increased 37% over the same quarter in the prior year, benefiting from the continued success in our Lead to-Money solution, and the Clicktools acquisition in the third quarter of 2014. Services and license revenue was $10.9 million, consisting of $10.3 million in services revenue and $0.6 million in license revenue. Services and license revenue increased 24% compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Cash and short-term investments were $101.3 million, including $64.4 million in net proceeds from the March 2015 secondary offering.

GAAP Performance

Non-GAAP Performance The following non-GAAP measures are described below and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures at the end of this release.

Business Highlights for the First Quarter 2015

Financial Outlook for 2015 - Second Quarter and Full Year For the second quarter of 2015, the Company expects total revenue to be between $40.4 million and $41.4 million. GAAP operating loss is expected to be between $3 million and $3.8 million with GAAP net loss per share between ($0.06) to ($0.08). Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be between $2.0 million and $3.0 million with non-GAAP income per diluted share between $0.03 and $0.05.

For the full year of 2015, the Company is increasing previous revenue guidance to the range of $162.0 million to $167.0 million. GAAP operating loss is expected to be between $5.5 million and $8 million with GAAP net loss per share between ($0.19) to ($0.23). Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be between $14.5 million and $16.5 million with non-GAAP income per diluted share between $0.21 and $0.25. The change in non-GAAP income per diluted share is due to the effect of the secondary offering of shares completed in March 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this release, CallidusCloud has provided additional financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP recurring revenue gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. CallidusCloud uses non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that they are useful to investors as a supplement to GAAP measures in evaluating CallidusCloud's operating performance. CallidusCloud believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional insight for investors to use in evaluation of ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in CallidusCloud's industry, many of which present non-GAAP financial measures that may resemble our non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

Stock-based compensation expense: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP gross profit, recurring revenue gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides a useful comparison of our operating results to our peers.

Restructuring and other expense: We have excluded the effect of restructuring and other expense from our non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. Restructuring and other expense consists of employee severance, facility exit costs and incremental depreciation expense as a result of the change in the estimated useful life of assets abandoned. We feel it is useful to investors to understand the effects of these items on our financial results.

Patent litigation and settlement costs and patent litigation estimates: We have excluded the effect of patent infringement and litigation defense costs, settlement costs and patent litigation estimates from our non-GAAP gross profit, recurring revenue gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. We believe patent defense costs and settlement costs and patent litigation estimates are not indicative of our ongoing business operations, and are inconsistent in amount and frequency; as such we exclude patent litigation defense costs during our evaluation of our business performance.

Convertible note interest expense, conversion costs and amortization of convertible note issuance costs: We have excluded the costs of convertible note interest expense, redemption inducement and issuance costs from our non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share. We believe that these costs are not indicative of our continuing operations or meaningful in evaluating current versus past business results.

Amortization and gain on sale of acquired intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization and gain on sale of acquired intangibles which include developed technology, customer relationships, trade names, domain names, patents and licenses from our non-GAAP gross profit, recurring revenue gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, other income and expense, net income and net income per diluted share. Amortization and gain on sale of acquired intangibles are significantly affected by timing, and as such, can be inconsistent in amount and nature.

Acquisition-Related Costs: We have excluded the costs related to acquisitions from our non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. These costs include legal and transactional costs associated with acquisition activities that we would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as part of our continuing operations. We believe the exclusion of acquisition-related costs provides a useful comparison of our operating results to our peers.

Note on Forward-Looking Statements The forward-looking statements included in this press release, including for example discussion of our commercial prospects, estimates of future revenues, operating income/loss and expenses, earnings per share, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring expenses, and patent litigation costs and estimates reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known and involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, potential disruption of customer purchase decisions resulting from global economic conditions, timing and size of orders, relative growth of our recurring revenue, potential decreases in customer spending, uncertainty regarding purchasing trends in the cloud software market, customer cancellations or non-renewal of maintenance contracts or on-demand services, our potential inability to manage effectively any growth we experience, our ability to develop new products and services, increased competition or new entrants in the marketplace, potential impact of acquisitions and investments, changes in staffing levels, and other risks detailed in periodic reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which may be obtained by contacting CallidusCloud's Investor Relations department at 415-445-3238, or from the Investor Relations section of CallidusCloud's website (http://www.calliduscloud.com/about-us/investor-relations/).
