TORONTO, July 26, 2012 /CNW/ - Angoss Software Corporation (Angoss) (TSX-V: ANC) today announced unaudited results for the three and six months ended May 31, 2012 (See attached).
For the three and six months ended May 31, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $360,909 and $674,172 respectively compared with the 2011 three and six month net loss of $1,625,299 and $1,885,834 based on earned revenues. In 2011, the Company reported a loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended May 31 of $1,297,354 and $1,518,264 respectively. Earned revenue in the three and six months ended May 31, 2012 was down 11.0% and 11.5% respectively over 2011. Earned revenue in any quarter is a function of both previously deferred revenue plus the earned portion of direct billings in the current fiscal quarter. Billed revenue on the other hand reflects orders received and invoiced in that quarter. The Company is required to report earned revenue; however, although billed revenue is not a standardized earnings measure, management believes that understanding billed revenue trends is an important means of analysing the Company's performance.
"The health of the business is measured based on billed revenue. We are pleased with our year to date performance in this area. The Company has achieved a 49.4% year over year growth in Analytical Software licenses and Solution billed revenues in the second quarter. Year to date growth for these two areas was 34.9%. Renewal license revenue was up 5.2% year to date and we experienced a 97% license renewal rate during the first half. Importantly, we achieved our billed revenue expectations for the first half of our fiscal year and anticipate continued growth for the balance of year." said Martin Galligan, President & CEO of Angoss. "We continued to make the required investments in sales, marketing and in our Cloud and Software roadmap offerings during the first and second quarters. The release of KnowledgeSEEKER® and KnowledgeSTUDIO® Version 8.0 was an important milestone in enabling our long term growth objectives as we added Text Analytics to our offering and we made 405 product improvements based on customer feedback in this major release. The loss in these periods, which is calculated against earned revenue, not billed revenue, is attributable to investments we have made in people and programs to capture a greater share of the predictive analytics market."
