BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 27, 2019-- Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS), the leading provider of application development and digital experience technologies, today announced results for its fiscal second quarter ended May 31, 2019.

On a GAAP basis, revenue was $100.0 million during the quarter compared to $92.9 million in the same quarter last year, a year-over-year increase of 8% on an actual currency basis, and 10% on a constant currency basis. On a non-GAAP basis, revenue was $103.5 million during the quarter compared to $93.0 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of 11% on an actual currency basis and 14% on a constant currency basis.

On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share during the quarter was $0.18 compared to $0.28 in the same quarter last year, a decrease of 36%. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share during the quarter was $0.65 compared to $0.55 in the same quarter last year, an increase of 18%.

“We exceeded both our revenue and EPS guidance for Q2, and also completed the acquisition of Ipswitch during the quarter,” said Yogesh Gupta, CEO at Progress. “I'm very pleased with the integration so far, and we are focused on achieving our targeted shareholder returns for this acquisition even earlier than we had anticipated. Our businesses are performing well, and we are on track to achieve our financial goals for 2019, including our increased guidance for margin and earnings per share.”

(1)The Company adopted the new accounting standard related to revenue recognition ("ASC 606") effective December 1, 2018, using the full retrospective method. Prior period results have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of this standard.

Paul Jalbert, CFO, said: “I’m very pleased with our second quarter performance, including our strong cash flow generation. Our continued strong execution gives us confidence to raise our full year guidance for both operating margin and EPS, and I look forward to sustaining our momentum in the second half of the year.”

Other fiscal second quarter 2019 metrics and recent results included:

  • Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $128.6 million at the end of the quarter;
  • DSO was 42 days compared to 40 days in the fiscal second quarter of 2018 and 56 days in the fiscal first quarter of 2019; and
  • On June 25, 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.155 per share of common stock that will be paid on September 16, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 2, 2019.

Ipswitch Acquisition

As previously disclosed, Progress completed the acquisition of privately held Ipswitch, Inc. during the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 for approximately $225 million in cash. Ipswitch provides Progress with leading network management and secure data file transfer capabilities for small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises. Progress expects Ipswitch to meaningfully contribute to non-GAAP revenue, profitability and cash flow in fiscal 2019. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the results of operations of Ipswitch are included in our operating results as part of the OpenEdge business segment from the date of acquisition. Progress funded the purchase price from a combination of existing cash resources and a $185.0 million term loan, which is part of a new $401.0 million term loan and revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of other lenders. This new credit facility replaced Progress' prior revolving credit facility.

2019 Business Outlook

Progress provides the following revised guidance for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2019 and the fiscal third quarter ending August 31, 2019:

Based on current exchange rates, the expected negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal year 2019 business outlook compared to 2018 exchange rates is approximately $6.2 million on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, and approximately $0.05 on GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. The expected negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal Q3 2019 business outlook compared to 2018 exchange rates on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, and on GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is approximately $1.0 million and $0.01, respectively. To the extent that there are changes in exchange rates versus the current environment, this may have an impact on Progress' business outlook.
