FREMONT, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/11/08 -- ActivIdentity Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTI), a global leader in digital identity assurance, today announced its financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $14.3 million, compared to $16.3 million for the year-ago quarter.
Operating expenses for the fiscal third quarter were $13.2 million, representing a 15% decline over $15.6 million in the fiscal third quarter of 2007. Compared to the year-ago quarter, Sales and Marketing expenses declined 5 percent from $6.1 million to $5.8 million; Research and Development expenses declined 8 percent from $5.1 million to $4.7 million; and General and Administrative expenses declined 41 percent from $4.4 million to $2.6 million.
The Company also completed a reduction in headcount by 13 percent in the third fiscal quarter of 2008, when compared to the same quarter in 2007, which will position the Company for ongoing expense realignment.
GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $7.0 million or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $2.7 million or $(0.06) per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $2.7 million or $(0.06) per basic and diluted share compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $1.2 million or $(0.03) for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 excluded $1.9 million attributed to loss on liquidation of investment in foreign entity, an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $0.8 million for auction rate securities, $0.8 million of stock based compensation expense, $0.6 million of amortization of intangible assets expense and $0.3 million of severance expenses related to our global cost reduction program. Please refer to the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation table for further detail.
Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $114.3 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $121.7 million at September 30, 2007.
Business Highlights:
-- In the fiscal third quarter, the Company continued aggressively to
deploy its Identity Assurance solutions in two primary sector focuses:
-- In the Business-to-Employee market, the Company continues to work
with British Telecom to progressively deploy secure remote access
for its employee base, and is also deploying Secure Employee ID for
a UK government entity. Additionally the Company had further
deployments of the smart employee ID solutions for several Fortune
500 clients in the financial services and technology industries,
and also began implementing a physical and logical access control
system with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which will enable
compliance with the Homeland Security Presidential Directive /
HSPD-12.
-- In the Business-to-Consumer market, ActivIdentity has begun strong
authentication deployment for a top 10 global banking institution
headquartered in Europe, a large African regional bank, and for one
of the largest Nordic banking groups. Additionally, ActivIdentity
also signed several significant new clients including an
implementation with a major bank in Malaysia, which represents
the first major 4TRESS implementation in this region. The company
is also deploying strong authentication for several of the largest
banks in Korea and Australia.
"During the past 90 days, we've focused our efforts on aligning revenues with expenses, and have taken steps to significantly streamline our operations. We've also begun to put in place a go-to-market strategy aimed at streamlining our product offering and growing our market share in the key industries we serve. This market-driven sales strategy should enable us to be more competitive by industry and ultimately more successful penetrating multiple markets such as Business-to-Employee, Business-to-Business, Business-to-Consumer and Government-to-Citizen," said Grant Evans, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ActivIdentity.
Mr. Evans added, "I'm also proud to say that we continue to assemble a truly world-class management team with the recent addition of our new CFO/COO, Mr. Jacques Kerrest. Mr. Kerrest brings a wealth of financial and operating experience to the team and, coupled with our Board of Directors who collectively have deep industry experience, we are all focused and quite passionate about our prospects for success. We also have a number of exciting initiatives underway that will enable us to capitalize on the growing market opportunity for identity assurance."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures in the press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP costs of revenue, operating expenses, other expenses, net loss and net loss per share amounts.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures, which should be considered as the primary financial metrics for evaluating our financial performance. Significantly, non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Instead, they are based on subjective determinations by management designed to supplement our GAAP financial measures. They are subject to a number of important limitations and should be considered only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP measures with the same names, may vary over time, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names used by other companies. Accordingly, investors should exercise caution when evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures.
Despite these limitations, we believe our non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating results, primarily because they exclude goodwill and investment impairments as well as costs and expenses that we do not believe are indicative of the ongoing operating performance of our business and our senior management, particularly while we undertake strategic restructuring initiatives. Although these items should properly be considered in our GAAP financial measures, we believe they should be excluded when evaluating our current operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in the accompanying press release are used by our Board of Directors and senior management to evaluate our current operating performance, are used in evaluating the performance of our senior management, and are used in our budget and planning processes. We believe that our non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors by facilitating comparisons of our current and prior operating results and by facilitating comparisons of our operating results with those of other software companies.

Discussion of Specific Items Excluded from Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our non-GAAP financial measures include impairments of investments and goodwill and generally exclude costs and expenses for (i) stock based compensation, (ii) restructuring, (iii) severance, and (iv) amortization of intangible assets, net of cumulative tax effects. We exclude these items because we believe they are not closely related to the ongoing operating performance of our business and the performance of our senior management and are generally excluded from our budget and planning process. In addition to these reasons, we believer our non-GAAP financial measures are also helpful to investors by facilitating comparisons of our operating results over different time periods and by facilitating comparisons of our financial performance with that of other companies. Except for costs and expenses related to restructuring and severance, these items are non-cash and do not affect cash flows.
1) Impairment of investments - The Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of investments of $3.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, to reflect the decrease in fair market value of auction rate security (ARS) holdings. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, $.8M of additional impairment was recorded to reflect a further decrease in fair market value of ARS holdings. Uncertainty in the credit markets have resulted in a devaluation of our ARS holdings. In order to provide investors with financial information that facilitates comparison of both historical and future results, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures which exclude the impact of the impairment of ARS investments. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial adjustment is useful to investors because it allows investors to (i) evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (ii) compare past and future reports of financial results of the Company excluding the impact of uncertainty in the credit markets.
2) Impairment of goodwill - In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company tests recorded goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company's stock price declined approximately 36%, an event that indicated the potential impairment of the carrying value of goodwill. As a result, management undertook an impairment evaluation to estimate the fair value of the Company's single reporting unit in relation to the book value of the Company. As a result of the analysis, the entire carrying value of goodwill was deemed fully impaired and written down to nil, as a non-cash charge to income. Because the goodwill impairment resulted from a decline in the market value of the Company's stock price rather than as a result of any current period operational activity, we include this non-GAAP financial adjustment to provide investors a more comparative report of financial performance for the period. However, as with amortization of intangible charges, we recognize that impairment costs provide a helpful measure of the financial impact and performance of prior acquisitions and investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our GAAP financial results that include impairment costs.
3) Stock based compensation - We exclude stock based compensation expense associated with stock options and stock granted to employees and non-executive directors in our non-GAAP financial measures. While stock based compensation is a significant component of our expenses, it is a non-cash expense and we feel the inclusion does not reflect the true operational economies and efficiencies of the company. While the board of directors and the management team assesses the Company's operating performance using various metrics, stock based compensation is generally omitted from most of these metrics when assessing the overall performance of the company. We, therefore, also believe that investors would wish to be able to assess our results of operations using the same measures as used by the board and management, in addition to the GAAP measures.
4) Restructuring and severance - We exclude restructuring and severance in our non-GAAP financial measures because these costs are unrelated to our ongoing operations. We believe excluding restructuring and severance expenses helps investors compare our operating performance with that of other companies. We recognize, however, that restructuring and severance will impact cash flows and that we and investors should carefully consider the impact of these costs on future cash flows.
5) Amortization of acquired intangible assets - In accordance with GAAP, we amortize intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We exclude these amortization costs in our non-GAAP financial measures because they (i) result from prior acquisitions, rather than the ongoing operating performance of our business, and (ii) absent additional acquisitions, are expected to decline over time as the remaining carrying amounts of these assets are amortized. We believe excluding these costs helps investors compare our financial performance with that of other companies with different acquisition histories. However, as with impairment charges, we recognize that amortization costs provide a helpful measure of the financial impact and performance of prior acquisitions and investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our GAAP financial results that include amortization costs.
6) Loss on liquidation of investment in foreign entity - In accordance with GAAP, we record accumulated foreign exchange translation gain or loss through Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Upon liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity, GAAP requires we reclassify the cumulative translation impact attributable to the liquidated foreign entity from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and record the gain or loss directly to current net income. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we liquidated a subsidiary, ActivCard Developments Pty. Ltd., and reclassified $1.9 million of accumulated translation adjustment from the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss component of equity to Other Expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The accumulated losses resulted from the historic translation of the foreign entity's Australian Dollar denominated local books in the Company's consolidation process. We exclude this loss on liquidation from our non-GAAP financial measures as the liquidation was (i) a non-recurring transaction to liquidate an inactive foreign subsidiary with no operational impact on current period earnings, and (ii) the accumulated loss resulted from several years of fluctuating exchange rates and including the charge in current period earnings makes it difficult to analyze current period performance.
