Guidance for full-year 2011:

 

VASCO is revising its guidance for the full-year 2011 as follows:

  1.  Expected revenue growth of more than 40% for the full-year 2011 over full-year 2010, as compared to expected full-year revenue growth of more than 20% announced at the end of the first quarter of 2011; and
  2.  Operating margins, excluding expenses related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, for full-year 2011 are projected to be in the range of 8% to 12% of revenue, no change from guidance previously announced, but are expected to be at the lower end of the range.

“The second quarter of 2011 continued to show strong revenue growth from our traditional businesses,” stated T. Kendall Hunt, Chairman & CEO. “Revenues in the second quarter of

2011 were the highest in the company’s history, reflecting strong growth from the banking market partially offset by a decline in revenues from the enterprise and application security market. We expect to report strong revenue growth for full-year 2011 over 2010. We believe that our strong order intake, which includes a significant number of orders scheduled to ship and invoice in 2011 and beyond, is an important and concrete sign that our business is gaining momentum. We also continued to invest in our DIGIPASS as a Service product line. The addition of Google™Apps to our platform was a significant addition and we continue to work on integrating other important SAAS applications into our platform.”

“In addition to our strong order intake, we have a strong pipeline of potential new orders and we expect that we will experience continued strong revenue growth in the second half of the year, driven primarily by the performance of the banking sector,” stated Jan Valcke, VASCO’s President and COO. “We also believe that our non-banking business will improve as a result of programs designed to support our reseller channel and their efforts. With the projected strong growth in revenues from the banking market in 2011, which includes high volume transactions with lower average selling prices, we expect our gross margins as a percentage of revenue will continue to be below the comparable quarters of 2010. Looking forward, we believe that as the performance from our non-banking business improves and our services strategy gains traction, our gross margins will improve.”

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. We use EBITDA as a measure of performance, a simplified tool for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation and amortization), or deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find that the comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not need to consider the impact of those items on our competitors’ results.

EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While we believe that EBITDA, as defined above, is useful within the context described above, it is in fact incomplete and not a measure that should be used to evaluate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how regulations and the other aforementioned items affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment. Net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP is the most complete measure available today to evaluate all elements of our performance. Similarly, our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, which will be filed as part of our annual report on Form 10-K, provides the full accounting for how we have decided to use resources provided to us from our customers, lenders and shareholders.
