Press Release
Jacada Reports Financial Results for the 2006 First Quarter
ATLANTA, May 10, 2006 - Jacada Ltd. (Nasdaq: JCDA), a leading provider of contact center productivity solutions, today reported financial results for the 2006 first quarter.
Total revenues for the 2006 first quarter were $5.2 million, compared to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2005. Software and products revenues were $2.6 million in the 2006 first quarter, compared to $840,000 in the first quarter of 2005.
With the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R(FAS 123R) as of January 1, 2006, Jacada commenced expensing stock-based compensation, according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in the first quarter of 2006.
In order to enhance overall understanding of the company's current financial performance Jacada will present non-GAAP information reflecting adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses in accordance with SFAS 123R and amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions effected by Jacada in previous years. Please see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Consolidated Statements of Operations" below for an explanation of Jacada's use of non-GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP net loss for the 2006 first quarter was $471,000 or $0.02 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.21 per share, in the 2005 first quarter. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the 2006 first quarter was $674,000 or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.22 per share, in the 2005 first quarter.
At the end of the 2006 first quarter, Jacada's cash and investments totaled $35.9 million, compared to $35.7 million at the end of the 2005 fourth quarter and $36.7 million at the end of the 2005 first quarter.
"Jacada continues to make headway within the contact center market space," said Gideon Hollander, CEO of Jacada. "Our goal is to educate and cultivate the market, and in 2006, we've already seen success from our efforts." said Hollander.
"Industry experts and analyst firms have recognized Jacada for innovative solutions and for addressing the ever-present need for a unified desktop to enhance the customer and agent experience," said Hollander. "A leading industry publication, Call Center Magazine, named Jacada WorkSpace as 2006 Product of the Year, featuring the solution in its March 2006 issue. Further market validation came from analyst firm Gartner, which positioned Jacada in the CRM Customer Service Contact Center 2006 Magic Quadrant. However, the market is still in its early stages and our number one goal is to accelerate awareness in this market."
"Our business model continues to evolve, and we remain focused on fewer deals where the average deal size is larger or where the deal represents significant future upside," said Hollander. "In the first quarter, we added another telecommunications provider to our customer roster by securing a contract in which Jacada WorkSpace and the underlying Jacada Fusion technology will be deployed to improve customer service productivity. Cox Communications accepted and deployed Jacada WorkSpace as part of an enterprise initiative designed to maximize the customer service representative's work experience with a simplified desktop. Jacada also won a major contract with the Social Security of the Spanish Ministry of Labor (GISS) through partner Selesta S.p.A."
In the first quarter, Jacada announced the general availability of Jacada WorkSpace 3.0 and Jacada Fusion 3.0, which include functionality and innovations that further enhance the company's offerings.
"We are also pleased that Paul O'Callaghan has joined our senior management team as President of Jacada Ltd. to lead our North American, Latin American and European operations," said Hollander. "His experience in helping organizations grow through sales execution and operations excellence will help Jacada capitalize on the tremendous opportunity we see in the contact center market."
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Jacada uses non-GAAP measures of net loss and loss per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses in accordance with SFAS 123R and amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions effected by Jacada in previous years. Jacada's management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors' understanding and assessment of Jacada's on-going core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors.
