Thursday, October 15, 2009 4:51 PM


(Source: Business Wire)trackingNaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a leading provider of cloud enabled enterprise-hosting and application-management services, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2009 that ended on July31, 2009.

Total revenue for the quarter ended in July31, 2009, was $36.9million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 9%. Total revenue for the full fiscal year 2009 was $152.7million, representing a 1% decrease over revenue of $154.9million in fiscal year 2008. The expected decrease in total revenue for the quarter and fiscal year was due to the planned decline in NaviSite's professional-services revenue during these periods.

Recurring hosting revenue was $34.5million for the fourth quarter, compared to $34.4million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 included $0.9million of hosting revenue from NaviSite's former Los Angeles data center, whose lease NaviSite did not renew at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. Excluding the Los Angeles hosting revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, recurring hosting revenue increased 3%. Recurring hosting revenue was $140.5million for the year, representing a growth of 7% over the $131.3million recorded in fiscal year 2008.

Gross margin improved to 35% for the fourth quarter, representing a four-percentage-point increase from the 31% recorded in the fourth quarter of the previous year and a two-percentage-point increase from the 33% recorded in the prior quarter. Gross margin for fiscal year 2009 was 33%, representing a three-percentage-point increase from the 30% recorded in fiscal year 2008.

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter was $3.5million. Income from operations for the full fiscal year was $0.2million. Operating income was impacted negatively for both periods from the $5.7million charge from the arbitration settlement entered into during the quarter. Excluding the settlement, income from operations for the fourth quarter would have been $2.2million, or an increase of 62% over the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, and $5.9million for the fiscal year, representing a 39% year-over-year increase.

EBITDA, excluding impairment costs, stock-based compensation, severance and other non-operational charges ("EBITDA, as adjusted") for the fourth quarter was $8.8million, representing a year-over-year increase of 4%. EBITDA, as adjusted for the full fiscal year 2009 was $35.1million, representing an increase of 10% over the EBITDA, as adjusted of $32.0million in fiscal year 2008. Significant non operational charges that were excluded from EBITDA, as adjusted, include the $5.7 million arbitration settlement charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, and the $1.6 million gain on settlement in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders, including the settlement charge and gain, for the fourth quarter was $8.6million, or $(0.24) per share, compared to a loss of $1.2million, or $(0.04) per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Net loss attributable to common shareholders, including the settlement charge and gain, for the full fiscal year 2009 was $18.5 million, or $(0.52) per share, compared to a loss of $11.3million or ($0.33) per share for the fiscal year 2008. Net loss attributable to common shareholders excluding the arbitration settlement charge would have been $2.8 million or $(0.08) per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and $12.7 million or $(0.36) per share for fiscal year 2009.

Cash generated from operating activities for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $4.1million, representing an increase of 4% from the $3.9million recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Cash generated from operating activities for the full fiscal year 2009 was $21.6million, representing an increase of 261% from the $6.0million recorded in fiscal year 2008.

"Despite the expected top line revenue decline, recurring hosting revenue continued to show growth during fiscal year 2009 -- improving overall gross margin and operating cash flow. In addition, the reduction and repositioning of our professional services business during the fiscal year was the first step in NaviSite's strategy to focus on enterprise hosting, application management and cloud computing," said Arthur Becker, Chief Executive Officer of NaviSite.

Quarterly Business Highlights

Booked approximately $0.8 million of new monthly recurring hosting revenue ("MRR") in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, an increase from the $0.5million booked in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, and booked approximately $2.5million of new MRR in fiscal year 2009.

Signed $21.0million of total hosting contract value with an average contract term of 27 months during the fourth quarter for recurring applications services and enterprise-hosting business, compared to bookings of $11.3million in hosting contract value in the previous quarter, and $63.9million in fiscal year 2009.

Signed professional-services contracts with a total value of $1.1million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, compared to bookings of $0.9million of professional-services contract value in the previous quarter.

Customer churn, defined as the loss of a customer or a reduction in a customer's monthly recurring revenue from our active customer pool, was 1.7% per month during the quarter, compared to 1.0% in the prior quarter and 1.2% a year ago. Reported churn for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 excludes the impact of the Company's decision not to renew its' Los Angeles datacenter lease.

EBITDA

EBITDA is not a recognized measure for financial-statement presentation under United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The Company believes that the non-GAAP measure of EBITDA, as adjusted provides investors with a useful supplemental measure of the Company's actual and expected operating and financial performance by excluding the impact of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company also excludes impairment costs, stock-based compensation, severance, and other non-recurring charges from its non-GAAP measure, as such items may be considered to be of a non-operational nature. EBITDA does not have any standardized definition and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting companies. Management uses EBITDA, as adjusted to assist in evaluating the Company's actual and expected operating and financial performance. These non-GAAP results should not be evaluated in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A table reconciling the Company's net loss, as reported, to EBITDA, as adjusted is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this release. The Company believes that using EBITDA, as adjusted as a performance measure, together with net loss, will help investors better understand the Company's underlying financial performance.
