總收入同比增長18%
上海1月17日電 /新華美通/ -- 羅盛軟件（納斯達(dá)克代碼：LWSN）今日公布了截止至2007年11月30日的2008財(cái)年第二財(cái)季財(cái)務(wù)報(bào)告。羅盛軟件從2007年6月1日起進(jìn)入2008財(cái)年，第二財(cái)季的 GAAP（公認(rèn)會計(jì)原則）收入上升至2.186億美元，與2007年同期收入1.845億美元相比，增幅為18%。公司公布的各項(xiàng)收入均為兩位數(shù)增長，其中軟件許可證收入上升至3300萬美元（增長50%）,服務(wù)維護(hù)收入上升至8470 萬美元（增長19%），咨詢收入上升至1.009億美元（增長10%）。
第二財(cái)季的 GAAP 凈收入為370萬美元，每股攤薄為0.02美元。凈收入的同比增長主要?dú)w功于軟件許可證和維護(hù)收入的增加。這些收益與其他收益中記錄的420萬美元非運(yùn)營永久性減損支出相抵，降低了公司所持有的拍賣利率證券的公允價(jià)值。詳見如下所述：減損支出對凈收益的影響每股攤薄為0.02美元。公司估計(jì)幣值波動對每股凈收益亦有負(fù)面影響，可達(dá)0.01美元。有關(guān)幣值波動對羅盛軟件歷年績效的影響，請參考本報(bào)告附表 1。
所公布的 GAAP 凈收益和每股凈收益中稅前開支總計(jì)770萬美元，其中包括無形資產(chǎn)攤銷，已購入的維護(hù)合同攤銷，采購賬目對咨詢成本和重組支出的影響，以及拍賣利率證券的420萬美元永久性減損支出和220萬美元的非現(xiàn)金股權(quán)激勵(lì)。除去以上開支，并包括對前 Intentia International AB 收購產(chǎn)生的期初遞延收入余額的采購賬目調(diào)整后獲得的40萬美元的維護(hù)和服務(wù)收入，2008財(cái)年第二財(cái)季的非 GAAP 凈收益為1560萬美元，每股攤薄為0.09美元。
“我們第二財(cái)季的結(jié)果表明我們各地區(qū)各方面都有強(qiáng)大實(shí)力，”總裁兼 CEO Harry Debes 認(rèn)為，“追求卓越是永無止境的，公司收益的同比增長印證了我們在業(yè)務(wù)方面取得的飛速進(jìn)展?！?/p>
截至2007年11月30日的半年度
截至2007年11月30日為止的半年中 GAAP 收入為4.06億美元，同比3.463億美元增幅達(dá)17%。GAAP 凈收入為930萬美元，每股攤薄為 0.05美元。公司估計(jì)半年中幣值波動對每股凈收益產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響，達(dá)0.02美元。
所公布的半年度 GAAP 結(jié)果中稅前開支為1940萬美元，其中包括已收購無形資產(chǎn)攤銷，拍賣利率證券的永久性減損支出，已購入維護(hù)合同攤銷，采購賬目對咨詢成本和重組支出的影響以及430萬美元的非現(xiàn)金股權(quán)激勵(lì)。除去以上開支，并包括對前 Intentia International AB 收購產(chǎn)生的期初遞延收入余額的采購賬目調(diào)整后獲得的100萬美元的維護(hù)和服務(wù)收入，截至2007年11月30日的半年度非 GAAP 凈收益為2830萬美元，每股攤薄為0.15美元。
財(cái)務(wù)展望
2008財(cái)年的第三季度止于2008年2月29日，預(yù)計(jì)公司總收入可達(dá)2.16億美元至2.20億美元，其中包括許可費(fèi)用同比增長約20%。公司期望 GAAP 全面攤薄每股凈收益為0.03 至 0.04 美元，其中不含拍賣利率證券的進(jìn)一步減損。非 GAAP 全面攤薄每股收益預(yù)計(jì)為0.07至 0.08美元，其中不含預(yù)計(jì)為950萬美元的稅前開支，包括與收購相關(guān)的無形資產(chǎn)攤銷，已購入的維護(hù)合同攤銷以及股權(quán)激勵(lì)費(fèi)用。2008財(cái)年非 GAAP 的有效稅率預(yù)計(jì)為37%至40%。
2008財(cái)年第二財(cái)季關(guān)鍵衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
-- 季末公司擁有的現(xiàn)金、現(xiàn)金等價(jià)物、有價(jià)證券及長期投資總值為4.241億美
元（其中不含750萬美元限定用途現(xiàn)金），上季末2007年 8月31日結(jié)余為
4.831億美元（其中不含700萬美元限定用途現(xiàn)金）
-- 遞延收入總額為1.765億美元，包括3610萬美元遞延收入，截至2007年8月
31日的上季結(jié)余為2.363億美元，包括3530萬美元遞延許可證收入。遞延收入
下降歸因于公司續(xù)訂日期現(xiàn)已改至第三、四財(cái)季所引起的遞延維護(hù)收入下降。
-- 軟件許可證交易總數(shù)有所上升，已完成交易為331宗，上年同期為307宗。所有
已完成交易的平均售價(jià)與上年同期基本持平。
-- 新簽署了三十八宗新客戶交易，上年同期為27宗。對新客戶的平均售價(jià)為37.3萬
美元，上年同期為42萬美元。此趨勢預(yù)計(jì)還將持續(xù)，由于美國本土以外地區(qū) M3
銷售的平均交易規(guī)模較小。
-- 新簽署的交易中，超過1百萬美元為2宗，50萬至1百萬之間為8宗，去年同期分別
為3宗和13宗。

-- 公司在第二財(cái)季回購了331,766股普通股，總值310萬美元，平均每股9.29美元。
自2006年11月最初授權(quán)回購200萬美元以來，公司已回購股份達(dá)1250萬股，價(jià)值
1.116億美元，每股平均8.93美元，占2006年11月已發(fā)行股份的6.7%。
拍賣利率證券的減損支出
截至2007年11月30日，公司擁有現(xiàn)金及現(xiàn)金等價(jià)物總值為4.316億美元，其中包括2760萬美元有價(jià)證券和5870萬美元長期投資。在保守的公司政策影響下，公司長期以來僅將過剩現(xiàn)金投向評級高的投資級證券，將保有資本和流動性作為首要目標(biāo)。2007年11月30日公司長期投資持有評級 AA 或 AAA 的拍賣利率證券，可隨時(shí)用于償還債務(wù)。但是，這些證券的流動和公允價(jià)值主要受到信貸市場不確定因素和債券保險(xiǎn)公司的財(cái)務(wù)狀況影響。因此，出于謹(jǐn)慎性原則并部分基于管理公司投資的經(jīng)紀(jì)交易商所提供的市場信息，記錄永久性減損支出為 420 萬美元，臨時(shí)性減損支出為 80 萬美元，以將公司拍賣利率證券的價(jià)值降至本財(cái)季末的估計(jì)公允價(jià)值 5870 萬美元。永久性減損支出記錄為其他收入項(xiàng)的非運(yùn)營虧損，影響 GAAP 全面攤薄收益每股 0.02 美元。80 萬美元臨時(shí)性減損支出記錄為股東權(quán)益的未實(shí)現(xiàn)損失。減損支出是未來預(yù)計(jì)資本減值，且公司目前無法通過資本增值抵消。因此，此項(xiàng)減損中不含稅收優(yōu)惠。同時(shí)，公司于 2007 年 11 月 30 日將拍賣利率證券劃為長期投資。

We provide the percent change in the results from one period to another using constant currency disclosure to adjust year-over-year measurements for impacts due to currency fluctuations. Constant currency changes should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for changes in revenues, expenses, income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We calculate constant currency changes by converting entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect for the current period rather than the previous period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software reports non-GAAP financial results. These non-GAAP results exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, Intentia integration costs, and other expenses. In addition, Lawson's non-GAAP financial results include pro forma revenue for maintenance and consulting contracts acquired in the Intentia acquisition for which the deferred revenue on Intentia's balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. Lawson's management believes the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software companies that have recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release.
