NetSuite Announces Record Second Quarter 2008 Results


SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business management software suites for mid-market enterprises and divisions of large companies, today announced operating results for its second quarter, which ended June 30, 2008.

Total revenue for the second quarter was $36.6 million, a 43% increase over the second quarter of 2007, and a 7% increase over the first quarter of 2008. The second quarter of 2008 marked the 35th consecutive quarter of increased revenue for NetSuite.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $(3.1 million), or $(0.05) per share, compared to $(9.6 million), or $(1.22) per share in the second quarter of 2007, an improvement of 67%.

Net loss on a non-GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2008 was $(0.9 million), or $(0.01) per share, compared with $(1.4 million), or $(0.02) per share in the second quarter of 2007, an improvement of 34%.

Net loss on a non-GAAP basis excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation and the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. A reconciliation of net loss and net loss per share on a non-GAAP basis to their comparable measures on a GAAP basis is provided below in a table immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue from the Americas for the second quarter of 2008 was $29.2 million, while revenue from international regions outside of the Americas was $7.4 million, and now comprises 20% of total revenue. The Company added more than 400 new customers in the second quarter.

Short-term deferred revenue grew by 5% to $63.9 million over the first quarter of 2008. This is compared to a growth rate of 2% in the first quarter of 2008 over the fourth quarter of 2007, a 127% improvement in the rate of growth. These comparisons exclude the accounting impact of the Company's 2006 partnership agreements related to its Japanese subsidiary.

"While traditional mid-market application vendors struggle, our growth and record Q2 results validate our belief that mid-sized companies are hungry for an integrated suite of applications delivered on demand," said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. "Our continued success indicates that adding industry- specific functionality to support the needs of larger organizations, and investing in the services and support that make customers successful with NetSuite, are the right strategies and will continue to expand our market."

This press release and the scheduled conference call contain forward-looking statements relating to expectations, plans, prospects, or financial results for NetSuite, which include but are not limited to the outlook stated above. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs of NetSuite's management as of August 5, 2008, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and NetSuite disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements: the market for on-demand services may develop more slowly than expected; quarterly operating results may fluctuate more than expected; unexpected disruptions of service at the Company's data center may occur; a security breach may impact operations; risks associated with material defects or errors in the Company's software or the effect of undetected computer viruses could impact operations; the risk of technological developments and innovations by others; our ability to successfully integrate and manage OpenAir, Inc. ("OpenAir") after our recently completed acquisition; our ability to identify and successfully integrate other businesses and technologies; the risk of loss of power or disruption in Internet service; failure to manage growth; the ability to manage operations when faced with competitive pricing and marketing strategies by competitors; the risk of losing key employees; increased demands on employees and costs associated with operating as a public company; evolving government regulation of the Internet and Ecommerce; changes to current accounting rules; general political, economic and market conditions and events, including war, conflict or acts of terrorism; and other risks and uncertainties.

For a detailed discussion of these and other cautionary statements, please refer to the risk factors discussed in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including but not limited to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 13, 2008, and any subsequently filed reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's stated results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including net loss, weighted average shares outstanding, and net loss per share. Non-GAAP net loss also excludes expenses related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Non-GAAP net loss excludes these expenses as they are non-cash items, can be difficult to predict, and are often excluded by other companies. Additionally, non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding, the denominator for the non-GAAP net loss per share calculation for the periods during 2007, assumes that the conversion of preferred stock and the issuance of common stock as part of the Company's Initial Public Offering had occurred at the beginning of the applicable period. The Company considers these events to be non-routine, and believes these adjustments provide useful comparative information to investors.

The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operational performance of the Company and are used by the Company's management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the financial performance of a company. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the Company's operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

     Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
     To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented
     on a GAAP basis, NetSuite uses non-GAAP measures of net loss, weighted
     average shares outstanding and net loss per share, which are adjusted to
     exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-
     related intangible assets and to include dilutive shares where
     applicable. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an
     overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our
     prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP
     results are made with the intent of providing both management and
     investors a more complete understanding of NetSuite's underlying
     operating results and trends and our marketplace performance. The non-
     GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance that are
     considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions.
     In addition, these non-GAAP results are the primary indicators management
     uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The
     presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered
     in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or basic and diluted net
     loss per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles in the United States. Non-GAAP financial measures are not
     based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are
     subject to limitations.
     (a)  Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in
          accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
          No. 123(R) for options granted after January 1, 2007, and Accounting
          Principles Board Opinion No. 25 for options granted before
          January 1, 2007. Amortization of intangible assets resulted from the
          acquisition of OpenAir, Inc. While a large component of our expense
          in certain periods, we believe investors may want to exclude the
          effects of stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of
          intangible assets in order to compare our financial performance with
          that of other companies and between time periods.
     (b)  Represents common shares issued in the company's IPO as if the
          shares were issued as of the beginning of the comparable periods. We
          believe investors may want to give effect to the issuance for prior
          periods in order to compare our financial performance with that of
          other companies and between time periods.
     (c)  Represents common shares from the conversion of convertible
          preferred shares as if the shares were converted as of the beginning
          of the comparable periods. Convertible preferred shares were
          converted into common shares as of December 20, 2007, the date of
          our IPO. We believe investors may want to give effect to the
          conversion for prior periods in order to compare our financial
          performance with that of other companies and between time periods.
