Blackbaud, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLKB), the leading global provider of software and services for nonprofits, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

"Blackbaud delivered second quarter financial results that were consistent with our guidance for standalone Blackbaud and made significant progress on integrating the Convio acquisition, despite increased macroeconomic headwinds," stated Marc Chardon, Chief Executive Officer for Blackbaud.

Chardon added, "Over the last few months, we have made significant progress integrating Convio's employees and operations into Blackbaud. Market reception to our combination has been favorable, and we are excited to be in a unique position of delivering the industry's leading CRM and online fundraising solutions from a single vendor. We believe that Blackbaud will increasingly be recognized as the vendor of choice to serve the multi-channel supporter engagement needs of nonprofit organizations."

Second Quarter 2012 GAAP Financial Results: Consolidated

Blackbaud reported total revenue of $110.2 million for the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 17% compared to $93.8 million for the second quarter of 2011. GAAP loss from operations and net loss were $(1.9) million and $(2.3) million, respectively, compared with GAAP income from operations of $14.5 million and net income of $9.4 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2011. Diluted loss per share was $(0.05) for the second quarter of 2012, compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.21 in the same period last year.

Second Quarter 2012 Non-GAAP Financial Results: Consolidated

Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes write-down of Convio deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations, acquisition and integration related expenses, impairment of cost method investment, write-off of prepaid proprietary software licenses and gain on sale of assets, was $19.3 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $19.9 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income was $10.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $12.3 million in the same period last year.

Second Quarter 2012 Non-GAAP Financial Results: Blackbaud Standalone

On a standalone basis, Blackbaud generated total revenue of $99.6 million, an increase of 6% on a year-over-year basis and consistent with the company's previously issued guidance range of $99 million to $102 million. Non-GAAP income from operations was $17.1 million for the second quarter of 2012. This compared to $19.9 million in the same period last year and was generally consistent with the company's previously issued guidance range of $15.5 million to $17.0 million.

A reconciliation between Blackbaud's standalone GAAP and non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Tony Boor, Chief Financial Officer of Blackbaud, stated, "The second half of 2012 represents a transition period as we continue to take action on numerous plans to capitalize on the synergies between Blackbaud and Convio. The majority of the benefits we expect to realize as a result of our efforts, from both a growth and cost synergies perspective, are expected to occur during 2013 and beyond as a result of the longer than expected regulatory review process for the acquisition."

Consolidated Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company ended the second quarter with $21.2 million in cash, compared to $46.0 million at the end of the first quarter. The Company ended the second quarter with $259.6 million of debt, which reflects the drawing down of credit facility for the acquisition of Convio. The Company generated $10.9 million in cash flow from operations during the second quarter, returned $10.8 million to stockholders by way of dividend and invested $11.6 million in capital expenditures.

Dividend and Share Repurchase Program

These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties; Blackbaud's ability to serve the multi-channel supporter engagement needs of nonprofit organizations; and macroeconomic trends and their effects on Blackbaud and nonprofits.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Blackbaud has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes consolidated non-GAAP revenue, consolidated non-GAAP income from operations, consolidated non-GAAP net income, consolidated non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and Blackbaud standalone non-GAAP income from operations. Blackbaud uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Blackbaud's ongoing operational performance. Blackbaud believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Blackbaud's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above exclude: a write-down of Convio deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense; costs associated with amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations; a write-off of prepaid proprietary software licenses; acquisition and integration related expenses; a charge associated with impairment of cost method investment; and, a gain in connection with the sale of assets. We use these measures and believe them useful to investors because they provide additional insight in comparing results from period to period.

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. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
