WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novell, Inc. (Nasdaq: NOVL) today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. For the quarter, Novell reported net revenue of $207 million. This compares to net revenue of $216 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009. GAAP income from operations for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 was $22 million. This compares to GAAP loss from operations of $259 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009, which included a $279 million non-cash impairment charge to goodwill and intangible assets. GAAP net income in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 was $322 million, or $0.91 per share, which included $308 million in non-cash tax provision benefits, principally to release a valuation allowance for certain net deferred tax assets. This compares to a GAAP net loss of $256 million, or a $0.74 loss per share, for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $1 million, operating expenses by $1 million and income from operations by $2 million compared to the same period last year.

On a non-GAAP basis, income from operations for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 was $38 million. This compares to non-GAAP income from operations of $37 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 was $25 million, or $0.07 per share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $38 million, or $0.11 per share, for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial schedules as part of this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

For the full fiscal year 2010, Novell reported net revenue of $812 million and GAAP income from operations of $84 million. Comparatively, net revenue for the full fiscal year 2009 was $862 million and GAAP loss from operations was $206 million, which included a $279 million non-cash impairment charge to goodwill and intangible assets. GAAP net income for the full fiscal year 2010 was $378 million or $1.07 per share, which included $308 million in non-cash tax provision benefits, principally to release a valuation allowance for certain net deferred tax assets. This compares to a net loss of $213 million, or a $0.62 loss per share, for the full fiscal year 2009. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by $4 million and unfavorably impacted operating expenses by $10 million and income from operations by $6 million compared to the prior fiscal year.

On a non-GAAP basis, income from operations for the full fiscal year 2010 was $131 million. This compares to non-GAAP income from operations of $139 million in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income for the full fiscal year 2010 was $97 million, or $0.27 per share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $117 million, or $0.34 per share, for the full fiscal year 2009.

"I am pleased with our fourth quarter performance," said Ron Hovsepian, President and CEO of Novell. "We continue to see strong performance from our Linux business with invoicing for Linux, excluding Microsoft certificates, up over 40% from the year-ago period and the prior fiscal year. We also saw some stabilization in the Collaboration Solutions business with invoicing decreasing 3% over the year-ago period. In addition, we continue to invest in the business while improving our GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins, which were 11% and 19%, respectively, for the quarter. Finally, we were profitable on a GAAP net income basis for the quarter and for the full year, even excluding discrete tax items."

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $1.1 billion at October 31, 2010, up from $1.0 billion last quarter. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was 76 days at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, up from 75 days at the end of the year-ago quarter. Total deferred revenue was $651 million at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, down from $689 million at the end of the year-ago quarter. For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, cash flow from operations was $52 million. This compares to cash flow from operations of $51 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009. For the full fiscal year 2010, cash flow from operations was $76 million. This compares to cash flow from operations of $69 million for the full fiscal year 2009.

Further details on Novell's reported results are included in the financial schedules that are a part of this release.

In addition, as previously publicly disclosed, Novell entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 21, 2010, with Attachmate Corporation, a Washington corporation, and Longview Software Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Attachmate, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of which, Longview will be merged with and into Novell, with Novell continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Attachmate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement our consolidated unaudited condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted income from continuing operations, adjusted net income, adjusted income per share from continuing operations and adjusted net income per share. We provide non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future and to enable investors to evaluate our performance in the same way that management does. Management uses these same non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance, allocate resources, and determine compensation. The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results, but they eliminate expenses and gains that are excluded from most analysts' consensus estimates, that are unusual, and/or that arise outside of the ordinary course of business, such as, but not limited to, those related to stock-based compensation, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, restructuring, asset impairments, litigation judgments and settlements, strategic alternatives review, the sale of business operations, long-term investments, property, plant and equipment, and unusual and discrete income tax effects.
