SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., Jul 29, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) ----Double-Take Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: DBTK), a leading provider of recovery solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2008.

"We are pleased with the performance of the company, which once again produced solid earnings. Revenue also met our expectations, though it was muted by weaker than expected license sales out of Europe. Sales of our virtual systems products continued to sell well and we secured our first key accounts for our Linux offering," said Dean Goodermote, Chairman and CEO of Double-Take Software, Inc. "We are also excited about the long term potential of our acquisition of emBoot, which will provide our customers with increased capabilities to dynamically manage their workloads," he added.

Total revenue for the quarter, which consists of software revenue and maintenance and professional services revenue, increased 21.9% to $24.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. Software revenue increased 13.6% to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. Maintenance and professional services revenue increased 34.4% to $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2007.

Income from operations was $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. Net income totaled $2.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $7.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share was due to income tax expense increasing to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 from an income tax benefit of $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2007. For comparative purposes, if the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2008 had been in effect in the second quarter of 2007, net income per diluted share in the second quarter of 2007 would have been $0.11.

Income from operations on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2008 was $5.5 million compared with $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. Adjusted, non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2008 was $3.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with $8.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in adjusted, non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share was due to income tax expense increasing to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 from an income tax benefit of $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2007. For comparative purposes, if the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2008 had been in effect in the second quarter of 2007, adjusted, non-GAAP net income per diluted share in the second quarter of 2007 would have been $0.14.

The Company calculates these adjusted non-GAAP income measures by excluding the effects in the respective periods of the non-cash stock based compensation, resulting from the application of SFAS 123R, from Operating Expenses. An explanation of these adjusted, non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP results are provided in the tables included in this press release, and these measures should only be viewed together with the reconciliation and the further explanation given under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Cash generated from operations was $5.2 million in the second quarter. Cash and short term investments at June 30, 2008 totaled $73.8 million, an increase of approximately $4.0 million from March 31, 2008.

Addition to Board of Directors

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Deborah Besemer to the Board of Directors. Previously, Ms. Besemer served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of BrassRing LLC and spent more than a decade at Lotus Development, where she served as Executive Vice-President of Worldwide Field Operations. She is a former Chairperson of the Massachusetts Software Council and has previously served on the boards of public and private companies.

"Deborah's track record of proven leadership is impressive. She brings to our board a rich software and technology background as well as expertise in global expansion," said Goodermote.

2008 Financial Guidance

The Company is providing the following financial guidance for the third quarter and full year 2008. This guidance does include the expected impact from the operations of emBoot, Inc which was acquired on July 28, 2008.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2008 is expected to be between $25.7 and $26.3 million and adjusted non-GAAP operating income is expected to be $5.3 to $5.5 million net of the effect of the emBoot acquisition, which includes retention bonuses and amortization of intangible assets, of approximately $0.3 million. The effective income tax rate on adjusted, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter is expected to be approximately 37% and adjusted, non-GAAP net income per share is expected to be $0.15 to $0.16 per share net of a reduction of approximately $0.01 per share from emBoot. Weighted average diluted shares using the treasury method are expected to be approximately 23.2 to 23.3 million shares.

The Company continues to expect full-year 2008 revenue to be between $101.7 and $103.5 million. The Company is changing its previously announced guidance for non-GAAP operating income and earnings per share for full year 2008 solely to account for the effect of the emBoot acquisition. Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be $21.8 to $22.2 million which is down from previous guidance of $22.2 to $23.0 million solely due to the effect of the emBoot acquisition, which includes retention bonuses and amortization of intangible assets, of approximately $0.7 to $0.8 million. Adjusted, non-GAAP income per share for the full year 2008 is expected to be in the range of $0.63 to $0.65 which is down from previous guidance of $0.65 to $0.67 per share solely from the effect of the emBoot acquisition of approximately $0.02 per share. The full year effective tax rate on non-GAAP net income is expected to be approximately 37%. Weighted average diluted shares using the treasury method are assumed to be approximately 23.3 to 23.4 million shares.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Double-Take Software, Inc. has provided in this press release adjusted financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are identified above as "adjusted, non-GAAP" measures. Double-Take Software, Inc. uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures in evaluating the Company's operational performance. Double-Take Software, Inc. believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Double-Take Software, Inc.'s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The historical non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude non-cash stock-based compensation charges from our results and exclude the effect of these charges in the related diluted share count. The Company's expectations for adjusted, non-GAAP operating income and income per share for the third quarter of 2008 and full-year 2008 exclude the impact of stock-based compensation charges, the amount and significance of which, because of the information and assumptions underlying those charges, cannot readily be determined at this time.

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 historic non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
