Business Highlights

Email Encryption:

  • ZixCorp reached a new milestone in the healthcare industry by providing email encryption solutions to more than 1,200 hospitals, or nearly one of every five hospitals in the United States.
  • The Company’s shared community of users, ZixDirectorySM, now includes more than 22 million members and is growing by more than 100,000 per week.
  • The Company launched ZixGatewaySMInbound to provide healthcare organizations a proactive method of identifying unsecured protected health information (PHI) in inbound email messages and attachments. This solution provides an additional means of improving compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by notifying the appropriate internal compliance and data security managers if unprotected electronic PHI is detected.

e-Prescribing:

  • On December 8, 2009, ZixCorp announced its planned exit from the e-Prescribing business. The Company is on track to exit this business on December 31, 2010, while fulfilling its existing obligations to customers and partners. We expect this business to generate a small amount of profit for 2010.
  • Included in the Corporate results above are the e-Prescribing business segment results, as follows:
     
Q2 Q2 % or $
$ in Millions, except % data 2010 2009 Change
Revenue $0.721 $0.992 (27.3%)
Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit $0.406 ($0.203) $0.609
Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings (Loss) $0.304 ($1.785) $2.089
 

Outlook:

For the third quarter 2010, the Company is forecasting revenue between $8.9 and $9.1 million, based on projected growth in Email Encryption and a continued decline in e-Prescribing revenues as the Company winds down that business segment. We expect both GAAP earnings and adjusted non-GAAP earnings to continue to rise in the third quarter, rounding to $0.02 and $0.03, respectively, per fully-diluted share.

For the full-year 2010, the Company is now forecasting revenue between $35.2 and $36.0 million, of which we expect e-Prescribing revenues to be between $2.3 and $2.5 million. We now expect adjusted, non-GAAP earnings to be between $0.10 and $0.11 per fully diluted share.

This presentation includes non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, the reasons why management uses these measures, the usefulness of these measures and the material limitations of these measures, see items (A) through (E) on the next page.

 
ZIX CORPORATION
NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
 

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company occasionally utilizes financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in order to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to past performance. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company’s future financial performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational and investment decisions, to evaluate the Company's performance, to forecast and to determine compensation. Further, management utilizes these performance measures for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and allocation of resources. We believe that our investors should have access to, and that we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We have provided definitions below for certain non-GAAP financial measures, together with an explanation of why management uses these measures and why management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors. In addition, in our Earnings Release we have provided tables to reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures utilized to GAAP financial measures.

ADJUSTED NON-GAAP MEASURES

Our non-GAAP measures adjust GAAP Gross profit, Operating income (loss), Net income (loss), Net income (loss) per share - diluted and EBITDA for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring severance expenses and expense related to the wind-down of our e-Prescribing business to derive non-GAAP adjusted Gross profit, adjusted Operating income (loss), adjusted Net income (loss), adjusted Net income (loss) per share - diluted and adjusted EBITDA. We provide a reconciliation of these adjusted non-GAAP measures to GAAP Gross profit, Operating income (loss), Net income (loss), Net income (loss) per share - diluted and EBITDA.

We do not provide a reconciliation of forward looking adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per share to GAAP earnings per share. Our forward looking adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per share information consistently excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense which is generally $500,000 to $600,000 on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per share will consistently exclude nonrecurring items that impact our on-going business. At this time, such one-time transactions are unknown and not available. Estimates of these one-time items may differ materially from actual results. See items (A) through (C) below for further information on the current quarter's reconciling items.

Items (A) through (E) on the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table are listed to the right of certain categories under "Gross profit', "Operating income (loss)," "Net income (loss)" and "Net income (loss) per share - diluted" and "EBITDA" and correspond to the categories explained in further detail below under (A) through (D).

(A) Non-cash stock-based compensation charges relating to stock option grants awarded to employees and third-party service providers and accounted for in accordance with Share-Based Payment accounting guidance. See (1) on previous page for breakdown of stock-based compensation. Because of varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and varying award types, the Company believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation charges provides for more accurate comparisons to our peer companies, and for a more accurate comparison of our financial results to previous periods. Additionally, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of non-cash stock-based compensation charges on our operating results.

(B) Severance payments related to reduction in workforce. See item (2) on previous page for breakdown of severance payments. The Company’s management excludes these costs when evaluating the ongoing performance and/or predicting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes these charges on our operating results.

(C) Expenses related to strategic review and wind-down of the Company’s e-Prescribing business segment. The Company’s management excludes these costs when evaluating the ongoing performance and/or predicting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes these charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

(D) The Company’s U.S. operations’ net losses for U.S. tax purposes are fully provisioned. The non-GAAP adjustment represents the non-cash tax expense included in the GAAP tax provision. The remaining provision for income taxes represents expected cash taxes to be paid.

(E) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA adds back stock-based compensation, severance payments and expenses relating to the wind down of the Company's e-Prescribing business.
