Comments of Management
Commenting on the results, Guy Bernstein, Chairman of Magic Software, said: “I am pleased to report that the Company continued to increase its sales and profits throughout 2008 despite the challenging economic climate. We are maintaining our competitive edge by providing our customers with cost-effective solutions and solid support. We are also maintaining tight control over costs and remain focused on the long-term growth of the Company.”
“Our successful introduction of uniPaaS during 2008 and the increasing adoption of iBOLT by the industry place Magic Software in the forefront of the Application Platform industry and we are now considered to be one of the few global strategic providers in this field,” stated Mr. Bernstein.
Key Trends
- Significant reduction of the Company’s churn rate. This has been demonstrated by growth in the Company’s license sales and by the renewal and strengthening of existing customers’ interest and commitment.
- Industry recognition of the value of Magic Software’s “Power of Choice.” Numerous partners and customers have expressed appreciation that Magic Software platforms enable them to deploy certain application modules as Client/Server and others as RIA (Rich Internet Applications).
- Significant adoption of Service Oriented Architecture. The migration to Service Oriented Architecture is driving the initiation of many new IT projects based on Magic Software products and increasing the scope of existing ones. In parallel, an increasing number of Service Oriented Architecture projects are using both uniPaaS and iBOLT.
- Growth in the use of iBOLT in the SAP ecosystem, in particular at the Enterprise level. This has been accompanied by increasing sales into the Salesforce.com space and the Oracle JD Edwards ecosystem.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes non-GAAP operating income, net income, basic and diluted earnings per share and other non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures exclude the following items:
– Amortization of purchased intangible assets;
– In-process research and development capitalization and amortization and;
– Equity-based compensation expense.
Magic Software’s management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as well as the net amount of cash generated by its business operations after taking into account capital spending required to maintain or expand the business.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Magic Software believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Magic Software’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Magic Software’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
