Corel Corporation (NASDAQ:CREL) (TSX:CRE) today reported financial
results for its third quarter ended August 31, 2009. Revenues in the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 were $47.4 million, compared to $66.2
million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. GAAP net income in the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0.5 million or $0.02 per basic and
diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $1.6 million or $0.06 per
basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was
$7.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted
net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 of $10.2 million, or
$0.39 per diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter
of fiscal 2009 was $9.6 million, compared to $15.8 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2008.
A reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income and
non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is provided in the notes to the financial
information included in this press release.
"In the third quarter, Corel demonstrated not only strong financial
management through a difficult period, but also our commitment to
innovation," said Kris Hagerman, Corel CEO. "Our release of Corel
Digital Studio taps into the dramatic growth of digital photo capture
and video creation, and makes it much easier for consumers to make the
most of their digital memories. By delivering a better user experience
and superior value, we believe we will be well positioned as the economy
improves and consumer confidence returns."

Financial Statements Governance Practice:
The Audit Committee of Corel's Board of Directors reviewed the earnings
portion of this press release as well as the related financial
statements and MD&A, and recommended they be approved by the Board of
Directors. Following review by the full Board, the financial statements,
MD&A and the earnings portion of this press release were approved.
Forward Looking Statements:
This news release includes forward-looking statements which are based on
estimates and assumptions made by us in light of our experience and our
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the
circumstances including but not limited to general economic conditions,
product pricing levels and competitive intensity, and new product
introductions.
Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual
results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any
future results, performance, or achievements discussed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such risks include the recent
disruption in the overall economy and financial and credit markets,
which may adversely impact our operations and financial results as well
as our ability to obtain financing required to grow our business and
make acquisitions. We may experience fluctuations in our operating
results depending on the timing and success of product releases. Our
core products have been marketed for many years and the packaged
software market in North America and Europe is relatively mature and
characterized by modest growth. Accordingly, we must successfully
complete acquisitions, penetrate new markets, establish relationships
with new original equipment manufacturer customers, or increase
penetration of our installed base to achieve revenue growth. The
long-term trend in our business reflects growth in revenues from
acquisitions, which give rise to their own risks and challenges, rather
than from our existing products, and that recent growth may not be
representative of future growth. We face competitive threats from well
established software companies that have significantly greater market
share and resources than us and from online services companies that are
increasingly seeking to provide software products at little or no
incremental cost to their customers to expand their Internet presence
and build consumer loyalty. We rely on a small number of key strategic
relationships for a significant percentage of our revenue and these
relationships can be modified or terminated at any time. In addition, we
face potential claims from third parties who may hold patent and other
intellectual property rights which purport to cover various aspects of
our products and from certain of our customers who may be entitled to
indemnification from us in respect of potential claims they may receive
from third parties related to their use or distribution of our products.
Any resulting litigation costs, settlement costs or royalty requirements
could affect our profitability.
These and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors are
described in Corel's Annual Report dated February 9, 2009, filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Canadian Securities
Administrators (CSA) under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere. A
copy of the Corel Annual Report and such other filings can be obtained
on Corel's website, on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov./
or on the CSA's website at http://www.sedar.com.
These factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not
place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are
made. We disclaim any intention or undertaking to provide any updates or
revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our
expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on
which the forward-looking statement is based, except as required by law.
Financial Presentation and Use of Non-GAAP Measures:
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, which differ in certain
material respects from Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, our financial statements and information in
this release are presented in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
This news release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as
adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA. We use these non-GAAP financial
measures to confirm our compliance with covenants contained in our debt
facilities, as supplemental indicators of our operating performance, to
assist in evaluation of our ongoing operations and liquidity and to
determine appropriate levels of indebtedness. We believe each of these
non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors in allowing for
greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by
management in its financial and operational decision making. These
measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and
therefore are not comparable to the calculation of similar measures used
by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered in isolation, and should not be viewed as alternatives to
measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in
accordance with GAAP. We believe it is useful for ourselves and
investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information, which
includes interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, provision
for bad debts, effects of disposal or fixed assets and investments,
restructuring, integration and reorganization costs, and certain other
gains, losses and expenses, and the non-GAAP measures, which exclude
certain of these amounts, in order to assess the performance of our
continuing operations and for planning and forecasting in future
periods. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial
measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to
the closest GAAP measures as set out in the notes to the financial
statements attached to this news release.
