Constellation Software Inc. Announces Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2011


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 2, 2011) - Constellation Software Inc. (TSX:CSU) ("Constellation" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Please note that all dollar amounts referred to in this press release are U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.

The following press release should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the accompanying notes, and with our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and our annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2010 which can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website www.csisoftware.com.

Q3 2011 Highlights:

  • Revenue grew 24% compared to Q3 2010. Organic revenue growth was 11% in Q3 2011 compared to negative 3% in Q3 2010.
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 40% compared to Q3 2010.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22% in Q3 2011 compared to 19% in Q3 2010.
  • Adjusted net income grew 76% compared to Q3 2010.
  • Two acquisitions were completed in the quarter for net cash consideration of $2 million.
  • Subsequent to September 30, 2011, the Company completed three acquisitions for aggregate cash consideration of $2.6 million.

Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $202 million, an increase of 24%, or $38 million, compared to $164 million for the comparable period in 2010. For the first nine months of 2011 total revenues were $575 million, an increase of 24%, or $113 million, compared to $462 million for the comparable period in 2010.

Constellation acquired the Public Transit Solutions business ('PTS') from Continental Automotive AG ('Continental') on November 2, 2009. Given the substantial amount of non-recurring revenue historically earned by PTS, gross revenue from PTS has fluctuated significantly in the past and will continue to do so in the future. As well, a number of acquired contracts were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition. Under this treatment, excess profits or costs relative to estimated normalized profitability are recorded as acquired contract assets or liabilities and amortized against revenues over the remaining life of the contract. As a result, the revenue and costs of these contracts reflected through profit or loss will differ from the revenue and costs that would have been recognized under normal course percentage of completion contract accounting. As such, management has chosen to provide supplemental organic growth disclosure to provide greater clarity regarding the impact of PTS on Constellation's consolidated financial results. Excluding PTS, organic growth for Constellation was 6% in Q3 2011 and 6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The following table provides a summary of the impact of PTS on Constellation's organic revenue growth:

Organic Revenue Growth

Three months ended Nine months ended
September 30, 2011 September 30, 2011
Constellation 11 % 10 %
Constellation excluding PTS 6 % 6 %

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2011 was $44 million, a 40% increase compared to the prior year's third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $32 million. Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA per share on a fully diluted basis increased 40% to $2.10, compared to $1.50 for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $121 million, an increase of 45% over last year's Adjusted EBITDA of $84 million for the same period. Adjusted EBITDA per share on a fully diluted basis for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 increased 45% to $5.72, compared to $3.95 for the same period in 2010.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter 2011 was $40 million, compared to the prior year's third quarter Adjusted net income of $23 million, a 76% increase. Third quarter Adjusted net income per share on a fully diluted basis increased 76% to $1.87 compared to $1.06 for the prior year's third quarter. Adjusted net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $100 million, an increase of 64% over last year's Adjusted net income of $61 million for the same period. Adjusted net income per share on a fully diluted basis for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 increased 64% to $4.73, compared to $2.88 for the same period in 2010.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $22 million compared to net income of $9 million for the same period in 2010. On a per share basis this translated into a net income per diluted share of $1.03 in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 vs. a net income per diluted share of $0.41 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, net income was $145 million or $6.83 per diluted share compared to $19 million or $0.90 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2010. Net income in the three months ended September 30, 2011 was positively impacted by the growth in our Adjusted EBITDA and gains on sale of available-for-sale equity securities, offset by an increase in amortization of intangible assets. Net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was positively impacted by the growth in our Adjusted EBITDA, gains on sale of available-for-sale equity securities, and increase in future tax recovery, offset by an increase in amortization of intangible assets.

Three months ended Nine months ended
September 30, 2011 September 30, 2011
Public Sector 12 % 10 %
Public Sector excluding PTS 5 % 4 %

The organic revenue change was primarily driven by the following:

  • Volaris operating group (formerly the Trapeze operating group) (increase of approximately $15 million in Q3 2011 and an increase of approximately $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011). For both the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, organic growth was primarily driven from strong revenue from existing clients and new customers in its transit and agricultural business units.

Private Sector

For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, total revenue in the private sector reportable segment increased by 24%, or $10 million, to $52 million, compared to $42 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 total revenue increased by 28% or $33 million, to $148 million, compared to $115 million for the comparable period in 2010. Revenue growth from acquired businesses was significant for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 as we completed twenty acquisitions since the beginning of 2010 in our private sector segment. Revenues increased organically by 9% in Q3 2011 and 10% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010.

The organic revenue change was primarily driven by the following:

  • Jonas operating group (increase of approximately $3 million in Q3 2011 and an increase of approximately $7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011). Jonas' organic growth was driven by strong sales to both existing and new customers primarily in its health club and food services verticals.

  • Homebuilder operating group (increase of approximately $2 million in Q3 2011 and approximately $6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011). The organic growth was primarily driven by strong sales to both existing and new customers in Homebuilders' pulp and paper manufacturer and lease management verticals.

Constellation's bank indebtedness, net of cash, decreased to $18 million at September 30, 2011 as compared to $15 million at December 31, 2010, mainly due to a $43 million dividend payment and acquisitions of $36 million, offset by $81 million in cash flow from operations.

As disclosed in the Company's press release dated April 4, 2011, the Board of Directors is currently undertaking a review of strategic alternatives for the Company with the objective of enhancing shareholder value. As part of this strategic review process, the Board of Directors has been evaluating a broad range of strategic options, including but not limited to the sale of the Company and various financial restructuring options. Given current market conditions, the Board of Directors has determined not to pursue a sale transaction at this time. However, the Board of Directors is continuing to develop and assess a variety of strategic options with the objective of enhancing shareholder value. No decision on any particular strategic alternative has been reached at this time. There is no defined timeline for completion of this strategic review and there can be no assurance that this review will result in any specific action.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements herein may be "forward looking" statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Constellation or the industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Specifically, the statements included under "Outlook" above are forward looking and are based on the assumptions that revenue growth will be in the range of 21%-23% for fiscal 2011 (which includes the impact of all companies acquired to date and organic growth consistent with the recent performance of the Company), Adjusted EBITDA margins will be in the range of 21-22% for fiscal 2011 (which is consistent with the recent performance of the Company), no material acquisitions will be completed during the remainder of fiscal 2011 and general economic and market conditions will remain consistent with those in effect on November 2, 2011. Forward looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, and should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements, including the risk that revenue can fluctuate significantly based on the demand for our software products, level of product and price competition, the geographical mix of our sales together with fluctuations in foreign currency, changes in mix and pricing of software solutions that our customers demand, our ability to successfully implement projects, order cancellations, renewal of maintenance agreements with customers, and patterns of spending and changes in budgeting cycles of our customers, and the risk that Adjusted EBITDA can fluctuate significantly based on the pricing and mix of software solutions that we sell, our customer demand, the geographical mix of our sales and cost base together with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and employee bonuses which are based on the performance of the Company. These forward looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and are made as of the date hereof and Constellation assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release includes certain measures which have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income margin.

The term "Adjusted EBITDA" refers to net income before deducting finance income, finance costs, income taxes, impairment of non-financial assets, depreciation, amortization, and foreign exchange loss (gain). The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration asset depreciation and the other items listed above. "Adjusted EBITDA margin" refers to the percentage that Adjusted EBITDA for any period represents as a portion of total revenue for that period.

"Adjusted net income" means net income plus non-cash expenses (income) such as amortization of intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and certain other expenses (income). The Company believes that Adjusted net income is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's main business activities prior to taking into consideration amortization of intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and certain other non-cash expenses (income) incurred by the Company from time to time. "Adjusted net income margin" refers to the percentage that Adjusted net income for any period represents as a portion of total revenue for that period.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are not recognized measures under IFRS and, accordingly, shareholders are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income should not be construed as alternatives to net income determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
