Qlik Technologies Inc. (“QlikTech”)(NASDAQ:QLIK), a provider of business intelligence software, today announced financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2010.
Lars Björk, chief executive officer of QlikTech, stated, “We are pleased with QlikTech’s business momentum during the second quarter, which was highlighted by revenue growth of 56% compared to the second quarter of 2009. We saw strong demand across each of our major global regions, and business was well balanced across both new and existing customers as we executed against our land and expand strategy. This performance also contributed to a strong increase in our company’s operating profitability and margin.”
Björk added, “We are excited to have completed our company’s initial public offering, which marked a major milestone in QlikTech’s history. We believe our expanded resources and market awareness will further enhance our ability to realize the company’s long-term potential. QlikTech is redefining the business intelligence market, and creating a market opportunity with QlikView that we believe is much larger than that served by traditional BI vendors. Our ability to meet a previously unmet need in the market place is the result of the disruptive benefits of our product offering, which is faster to deploy, much easier to use, lower cost, and ultimately helps customers gain real-time insights into their critical business data that is not possible with alternative solutions.”
Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2010
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $51.1 million, an increase of 56% from $32.8 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Maintenance revenue was $13.5 million, an increase of 43% from $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2009. Professional services revenue was $5.1 million, an increase of 53% from $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2009.
GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2010 was $5.8 million, or 11.4% of revenue, an increase compared to a GAAP operating loss of ($2.7 million) for the second quarter of 2009. GAAP net income was $3.5 million, or $0.02 per common share on a diluted basis, an increase compared to a GAAP net loss of ($2.7 million), or ($0.17) per common share on a diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2009. GAAP net income (loss) includes a charge for the change in the fair value of warrants of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2009. Beginning in the third quarter of 2010, QlikTech will no longer incur these charges due to the conversion of these preferred stock warrants to common stock warrants upon the effectiveness of its initial public offering.
Non-GAAP operating income, which excludes stock-based compensation, was $6.4 million, or 12.5% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2010, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of ($2.3 million) for the second quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income was $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of ($2.3 million) for the second quarter of 2009. After accounting for the automatic conversion of QlikTech’s then outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock into 46.7 million shares of common stock and the issuance of 12.9 million shares of common stock as though the completion of the company’s initial public offering had occurred at the beginning of the period, non-GAAP income per common share on a diluted basis for the second quarter of 2010 was $0.05, compared to a non-GAAP loss per common share of ($0.03) on a diluted basis for the second quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income (loss) includes a charge for a change in the fair value of warrants of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2009. Beginning in the third quarter of 2010, QlikTech will no longer incur these charges due to the conversion of these preferred stock warrants to common stock warrants upon the effectiveness of its initial public offering.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, QlikTech uses measures of non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP income or loss per share. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP financial measure, is presented in the financial tables below under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP” QlikTech believes that the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release can assist investors in understanding and assessing QlikTech’s on-going core operations and prospects for the future and provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing QlikTech’s financial results with other companies in QlikTech’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is determined by taking income or loss from operations and adding back non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is determined by taking pretax income or loss and adding back non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and the result is tax affected at an estimated 28% tax rate. QlikTech believes this adjustment provides useful information to both management and investors. Non-GAAP income or loss per share is determined by taking Non-GAAP net income and adjusting the weighted average outstanding common share calculations for the automatic conversion of the convertible preferred stock and issuance of common stock in connection with the company’s initial public offering as if the offering had occurred at the beginning of each respective period.
This press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures under the heading “Business Outlook”. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments as discussed above. We are unable to reconcile this non-GAAP guidance to GAAP because it is difficult to predict the future impact of these adjustments.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in QlikTech’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management of QlikTech presents its non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its GAAP results. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our historic non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided below.
