BEA Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Results; AquaLogic Grows to 25% of Fourth Quarter License Revenue, Driven by Customer Adoption of Service-O
23 February 2007
BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS), a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software, today announced certain financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2007. BEA reported fourth quarter total revenues of $391.8 million, up 15% from last year's fourth quarter. BEA reported fourth quarter license fees of $168.7 million, up 8% from a year ago, and services revenue of $223.1 million, up 20% from a year ago.
For the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2007, BEA reported total revenues of $1,402.3 million, a 17% increase over the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2006. BEA reported fiscal year license fees of $573.5 million, a 12% increase over fiscal 2006, and services revenue of $828.9 million, a 20% increase over fiscal 2006. BEA reported fiscal year cash flow from operating activities of $300.3 million, a 5% increase over fiscal 2006. BEA reported a fiscal year end balance of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash of $1.2 billion. BEA also reported fiscal year end deferred revenues of $449.3 million, up 19% from a year ago.
BEA is not providing full GAAP or non-GAAP financials for the fourth quarter or fiscal year due to the previously announced voluntary internal review of BEA's historical stock option grants, which has been conducted by the Audit Committee of BEA's Board of Directors with the assistance of independent legal counsel. The outcome of that review will require us to change our accounting treatment of certain stock option grants, which will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for certain historic periods and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the fourth quarter, fiscal year and certain subsequent periods. Following the review, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors expressed their continued confidence in the leadership and integrity of BEA chairman and chief executive officer Alfred Chuang and the current Executive Leadership Team.
"AquaLogic and BEA's SOA services continued to drive new customer opportunities this quarter," said Alfred Chuang, chairman and chief executive officer, BEA Systems, Inc. "Led by our enterprise service bus and business process management products, AquaLogic revenue grew rapidly, represented 25% of fourth quarter license revenue and exceeded $110 million in license revenue in its first full fiscal year on the market. AquaLogic is driving key SOA wins in competitors' accounts, because AquaLogic can seamlessly co-exist with our customers' existing systems and because customers' own benchmarks demonstrate that AquaLogic delivers the goods."
"Our BPM product has quickly become a major contributor not only to our growth but to our revenue. Revenue from AquaLogic BPM nearly doubled each quarter during the fiscal year," Chuang said. "In Q4, we continued to experience outstanding growth in emerging areas, such as China, Korea, India and Latin America. Emerging countries seem to be picking up these new technologies very rapidly. Because they do not have as many legacy systems to work around, customers in these markets can quickly build projects that advance their businesses."
