REDMOND, Wash., November 09, 2005 - Concur Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNQR), the world's leading provider of business services that automate Corporate Expense Management, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.
Concur reported total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 of $19.6 million, which was driven by 31% year-over-year growth in subscription revenue. Total revenue for the quarter was up 27% from the year-ago quarter and up 5% from the prior quarter. Fiscal 2005 fourth quarter net income was $2.1 million, or $0.06 per share, which was $0.01 per share higher than the company expected. This compares to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share in the year-ago quarter and net income of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per share in the prior quarter.
"The fourth quarter was the strongest quarter in our history. Total revenue, subscription revenue, annual recurring revenue, operating margin and earnings reached record levels," said Steve Singh, chairman and CEO of Concur Technologies. "We were very pleased with our performance in fiscal 2005 as total revenue grew 27% and earnings per share grew 150%. We are reaffirming our guidance for fiscal 2006 as demand for our services continues to grow. We expect subscription revenue to grow more than 30% and operating margin to nearly double to 13%."
Singh continued, "Last quarter, IDC named Concur one of the top five global on-demand software providers, recognizing the delivery and business model that is at the heart of our success. On-demand companies like Concur are at the center of a customer-driven shift that is changing the very nature of the software industry. We are the clear leader in what we believe can be a multi-billion dollar Corporate Expense Management market. As we look to drive even stronger top line growth, we will continue to invest against our core initiatives around distribution, operational excellence and new services."
