總收入同比增長18%
上海1月17日電 /新華美通/ -- 羅盛軟件（納斯達克代碼：LWSN）今日公布了截止至2007年11月30日的2008財年第二財季財務報告。羅盛軟件從2007年6月1日起進入2008財年，第二財季的 GAAP（公認會計原則）收入上升至2.186億美元，與2007年同期收入1.845億美元相比，增幅為18%。公司公布的各項收入均為兩位數增長，其中軟件許可證收入上升至3300萬美元（增長50%）,服務維護收入上升至8470 萬美元（增長19%），咨詢收入上升至1.009億美元（增長10%）。
第二財季的 GAAP 凈收入為370萬美元，每股攤薄為0.02美元。凈收入的同比增長主要歸功于軟件許可證和維護收入的增加。這些收益與其他收益中記錄的420萬美元非運營永久性減損支出相抵，降低了公司所持有的拍賣利率證券的公允價值。詳見如下所述：減損支出對凈收益的影響每股攤薄為0.02美元。公司估計幣值波動對每股凈收益亦有負面影響，可達0.01美元。有關幣值波動對羅盛軟件歷年績效的影響，請參考本報告附表 1。
所公布的 GAAP 凈收益和每股凈收益中稅前開支總計770萬美元，其中包括無形資產攤銷，已購入的維護合同攤銷，采購賬目對咨詢成本和重組支出的影響，以及拍賣利率證券的420萬美元永久性減損支出和220萬美元的非現金股權激勵。除去以上開支，并包括對前 Intentia International AB 收購產生的期初遞延收入余額的采購賬目調整后獲得的40萬美元的維護和服務收入，2008財年第二財季的非 GAAP 凈收益為1560萬美元，每股攤薄為0.09美元。
“我們第二財季的結果表明我們各地區各方面都有強大實力，”總裁兼 CEO Harry Debes 認為，“追求卓越是永無止境的，公司收益的同比增長印證了我們在業務方面取得的飛速進展。”
截至2007年11月30日的半年度
截至2007年11月30日為止的半年中 GAAP 收入為4.06億美元，同比3.463億美元增幅達17%。GAAP 凈收入為930萬美元，每股攤薄為 0.05美元。公司估計半年中幣值波動對每股凈收益產生負面影響，達0.02美元。
所公布的半年度 GAAP 結果中稅前開支為1940萬美元，其中包括已收購無形資產攤銷，拍賣利率證券的永久性減損支出，已購入維護合同攤銷，采購賬目對咨詢成本和重組支出的影響以及430萬美元的非現金股權激勵。除去以上開支，并包括對前 Intentia International AB 收購產生的期初遞延收入余額的采購賬目調整后獲得的100萬美元的維護和服務收入，截至2007年11月30日的半年度非 GAAP 凈收益為2830萬美元，每股攤薄為0.15美元。
財務展望
2008財年的第三季度止于2008年2月29日，預計公司總收入可達2.16億美元至2.20億美元，其中包括許可費用同比增長約20%。公司期望 GAAP 全面攤薄每股凈收益為0.03 至 0.04 美元，其中不含拍賣利率證券的進一步減損。非 GAAP 全面攤薄每股收益預計為0.07至 0.08美元，其中不含預計為950萬美元的稅前開支，包括與收購相關的無形資產攤銷，已購入的維護合同攤銷以及股權激勵費用。2008財年非 GAAP 的有效稅率預計為37%至40%。
2008財年第二財季關鍵衡量標準
-- 季末公司擁有的現金、現金等價物、有價證券及長期投資總值為4.241億美
元（其中不含750萬美元限定用途現金），上季末2007年 8月31日結余為
4.831億美元（其中不含700萬美元限定用途現金）
-- 遞延收入總額為1.765億美元，包括3610萬美元遞延收入，截至2007年8月
31日的上季結余為2.363億美元，包括3530萬美元遞延許可證收入。遞延收入
下降歸因于公司續訂日期現已改至第三、四財季所引起的遞延維護收入下降。
-- 軟件許可證交易總數有所上升，已完成交易為331宗，上年同期為307宗。所有
已完成交易的平均售價與上年同期基本持平。
-- 新簽署了三十八宗新客戶交易，上年同期為27宗。對新客戶的平均售價為37.3萬
美元，上年同期為42萬美元。此趨勢預計還將持續，由于美國本土以外地區 M3
銷售的平均交易規模較小。
-- 新簽署的交易中，超過1百萬美元為2宗，50萬至1百萬之間為8宗，去年同期分別
為3宗和13宗。

-- 公司在第二財季回購了331,766股普通股，總值310萬美元，平均每股9.29美元。
自2006年11月最初授權回購200萬美元以來，公司已回購股份達1250萬股，價值
1.116億美元，每股平均8.93美元，占2006年11月已發行股份的6.7%。
拍賣利率證券的減損支出
截至2007年11月30日，公司擁有現金及現金等價物總值為4.316億美元，其中包括2760萬美元有價證券和5870萬美元長期投資。在保守的公司政策影響下，公司長期以來僅將過?，F金投向評級高的投資級證券，將保有資本和流動性作為首要目標。2007年11月30日公司長期投資持有評級 AA 或 AAA 的拍賣利率證券，可隨時用于償還債務。但是，這些證券的流動和公允價值主要受到信貸市場不確定因素和債券保險公司的財務狀況影響。因此，出于謹慎性原則并部分基于管理公司投資的經紀交易商所提供的市場信息，記錄永久性減損支出為 420 萬美元，臨時性減損支出為 80 萬美元，以將公司拍賣利率證券的價值降至本財季末的估計公允價值 5870 萬美元。永久性減損支出記錄為其他收入項的非運營虧損，影響 GAAP 全面攤薄收益每股 0.02 美元。80 萬美元臨時性減損支出記錄為股東權益的未實現損失。減損支出是未來預計資本減值，且公司目前無法通過資本增值抵消。因此，此項減損中不含稅收優惠。同時，公司于 2007 年 11 月 30 日將拍賣利率證券劃為長期投資。

We provide the percent change in the results from one period to another using constant currency disclosure to adjust year-over-year measurements for impacts due to currency fluctuations. Constant currency changes should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for changes in revenues, expenses, income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We calculate constant currency changes by converting entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect for the current period rather than the previous period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software reports non-GAAP financial results. These non-GAAP results exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, Intentia integration costs, and other expenses. In addition, Lawson's non-GAAP financial results include pro forma revenue for maintenance and consulting contracts acquired in the Intentia acquisition for which the deferred revenue on Intentia's balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. Lawson's management believes the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software companies that have recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release.
