April 25, 2008 |
MARKHAM, ON, April 24/08 - McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.
"In the first quarter of 2008, McAfee reported record revenue and our ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue growth," said Dave DeWalt, McAfee's chief executive officer and president. "We had balanced performance across our corporate and consumer segments and our North American and international geographies. Our revenue growth reflects the success of our security focus, our leading edge technology, the value that we provide our customers and global growth of our partnerships."
"We are winning new business from users seeking security suites that provide comprehensive and integrated protection from an ever-evolving threat landscape," added DeWalt. "McAfee offers suite solutions for endpoint, data, and now network, with our recent announcement of Total Protection for Network. This industry shift to suites creates ongoing growth potential for the company across customer segments, both in our current installed base and outside of it. We believe that McAfee's security focus combined with our strong balance sheet, improving sales execution and investments we are making in the first half of 2008 will position the company well for long-term industry leadership."

First Quarter 2008 Operating Summary:
Corporate Business: Revenue grew 16 per cent compared with the same period last year, to $217 million in the first quarter of 2008. Growth during the quarter was driven by sales of Total Protection for Endpoint, Data Protection and McAfee's Network Security Platform, formerly known as IntruShield. In the first quarter of 2008, McAfee closed 271 deals over $100,000, including 37 deals over $500,000 and 8 deals over $1 million. During the quarter, McAfee announced that Gartner, Inc. has placed the company in the leader's quadrant in its "Magic Quadrant for Network Intrusion Prevention System Appliances, 1H08" as published. In addition, McAfee successfully integrated its endpoint encryption technology, formerly known as SafeBoot, into its centralized management console, ePolicy Orchestrator.
In more recent developments, the company launched new network security platforms, McAfee Content Security Blade Server and McAfee M-8000 Network Security Platform. McAfee also introduced Total Protection for Network, a new security suite combining McAfee Content Security Blade Server and McAfee M-8000 Network Security Platform to provide end-to-end protection for the entire network infrastructure.
Consumer Business: Revenue grew 19 per cent compared with the same period last year, to $153 million in the first quarter of 2008. McAfee extended its industry first Web security offerings with the completion of the acquisition of ScanAlert and continued distribution of McAfee SiteAdvisor which now has been downloaded more than 130 million times. In the first quarter of 2008, McAfee continued to expand its global partnerships. McAfee signed or extended 14 agreements and launched 97 new or enhanced online partnerships with a record number of new partner additions in our EMEA region including Orange broadband NL in the Netherlands, TT Net in Turkey and KMC Bank & Insurance Company in Belgium.
In more recent developments, McAfee announced that it has signed a multi-year, worldwide partnership with Acer, Inc. Acer computers have begun shipping with McAfee's software suite in the second quarter of 2008. McAfee also started shipments of its software suite under a new agreement with Sony Japan and Cox launched the new Cox Security Suite powered by McAfee.
North America: Revenue grew 15 per cent to $190 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared with $165 million in the first quarter of 2007. North American revenue accounted for 51 per cent of total revenue for the first quarter of 2008 compared with 52 per cent of total revenue for the first quarter of 2007.
International: Revenue grew 20 per cent, to $180 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared with $150 million in the first quarter of 2007. Compared with the first quarter of 2007, revenue from Europe and the Middle East grew by 20 per cent, Asia Pacific grew by 36 per cent, Latin America grew by 24 per cent and Japan grew by 7 per cent. International revenue accounted for 49 per cent of total revenue for the first quarter of 2008 compared with 48 per cent of total revenue for the first quarter of 2007.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Summary:
At March 31, 2008, the company reported cash and marketable securities of $1.293 billion, compared with $1.319 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007. The change reflected the company's repurchase of approximately 3.4 million shares of its common stock for $113 million under the Company's stock repurchase program and the $49 million net cash outlay for the acquisition of ScanAlert, Inc., which closed in January 2008. These outflows were partially offset by $65 million of operating cash flows and $54 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The company expects to continue repurchasing its shares. Such repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan adopted by the company.
Deferred revenue was $1.081 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2008, a 21 per cent increase over the March 31, 2007 balance. Approximately 82 per cent of revenue during the first quarter of 2008 came from prior period deferred revenue.
During the first quarter of 2008, the company generated approximately $65 million in cash flow from operations, compared with $102 million in the same quarter last year. This change in cash flow was primarily due to the additional use of cash for working capital requirements resulting from increased payments for partners, incentive compensation, legal costs and restatement related costs. Days sales outstanding (DSOs) were 48 days, compared with 42 days in the first quarter of 2007. The year over year increase in DSOs was primarily due to the acquisition of SafeBoot in the fourth quarter of 2007, increased sales volume and the timing of orders processed during the quarter.
Financial Outlook:
McAfee expects net revenue in the second quarter of 2008 of $360 million to $375 million.
The company expects second quarter 2008 GAAP net income of $0.26 to $0.31 per share and non-GAAP net income of $0.42 to $0.47 per share on a diluted
basis.
McAfee expects net revenue for the full-year 2008 of $1.435 billion to $1.535 billion.
The company expects full-year 2008 GAAP net income of $1.15 to $1.25 per share and non-GAAP net income of $1.85 to $1.95 per share on a diluted basis.
This guidance reflects an assumed 24 per cent GAAP tax rate and a 27 per cent non-GAAP tax rate. In addition, guidance does not reflect the future impact of the company's stock repurchase program. See the reconciliation of projected GAAP net income per share to projected non-GAAP net income per share attached to this press release.

Disclosure Statements and Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we also consider adjusted gross profit, operating income and net income, which we refer to as "non-GAAP gross profit," "non-GAAP operating income" and "non-GAAP net income." In calculating non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income, management excludes certain items to facilitate its review of the comparability of the company's operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in management's view, related to the company's ongoing operating performance.
Non-GAAP gross profit excludes amortization of purchased technology and patents, non-cash stock-based compensation charges and stock-based compensation charges related to tender offer. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP operating income exclude amortization of purchased technology, patents and intangibles expense, non-cash stock-based compensation charges and stock-based compensation charges related to tender offer, acquisition related costs, loss on sale/disposal of assets and technology, restructuring charges, SEC settlement charges, SEC and compliance costs, provision for income taxes and certain other items. Management used a 27 per cent non-GAAP effective tax rate to calculate non-GAAP net income in 2008 and 2007. Management believes that the 27 per cent effective tax rate in each respective period is reflective of a long-term normalized tax rate under the global McAfee legal entity and tax structure as of the respective period end.
We present non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because we consider each to be an important supplemental measure of our 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. In addition, when evaluating potential acquisitions, management excludes the items described above from its consideration of target performance and valuation.
We further believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in providing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision making. We believe that calculating non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income also facilitates a comparison of McAfee's underlying operating performance with that of other companies in our industry, which may from time to time use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. However, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP gross profit, operating income and net income or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. In the future, we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-GAAP adjustments described above and exclusion of these items in the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all of these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Investors and potential investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools. Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP net income are:
-- Amortization of purchased technology, patents and intangibles, though not directly affecting our current cash position, represents the loss in value as the technology in our industry evolves, is advanced or is replaced over time. The expense associated with this loss in value is not included in the non-GAAP net income presentation and therefore does not reflect the full economic effect of the ongoing cost of maintaining our current technological position in our competitive industry which is addressed through our research and development program.
-- The company regularly engages in acquisition and integration activities as part of its ongoing business. Therefore, we expect to continue to experience acquisition and retention bonuses, in-process research and development charges and integration costs related to acquisition activity in future periods.
-- The company's income tax expense will ultimately be based on its GAAP taxable income and actual tax rates in effect, which may differ significantly from the 27 percent rate assumed in our non-GAAP financial measures for 2008 and 2007.
-- Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP net income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative tool.
In addition, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial statements result in the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the company's financial results for the foreseeable future. The company compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The company further compensates for the limitations of our use of non-GAAP financial measures by presenting comparable GAAP measures more prominently. The company evaluates the non-GAAP financial measures together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with our GAAP gross profit, operating income and net income. For more information, see the consolidated statements of income and the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" contained in this press release.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This release contains forward-looking statements, which include those regarding the preliminary results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, guidance on expected operating results for the second quarter of 2008 and full year 2008, expectations regarding McAfee's stock repurchase program, business strategy, business momentum, market position, relationships and opportunities, the benefits of McAfee's security solutions and the industry shift to security suites. Actual results could vary, perhaps materially, and the expected results may not occur.

In addition, actual results are subject to other risks, including that McAfee may not achieve its planned revenue realization rates, succeed in its efforts to grow its business or combat effectively the security threats of the future, build upon its technology leadership, leverage its relationships and opportunities to the degree expected, or capture market share, notwithstanding related commitment or related investment, or successfully repurchase its stock to the extent anticipated. The company may not benefit from its acquisitions, strategic alliances or partnerships as anticipated, customers may not respond as favorably as anticipated to the company's product or technical support offerings, the company's product and service offerings may not continue to interoperate effectively with newly developed operating systems, the company may experience delays in product development or the release of previously announced products, the company may experience delayed or lost bookings and revenue as a result of outages in integrated systems on which it is highly dependent, the company may not satisfactorily anticipate or meet its customers' needs or expectations, or the industry shift to security suites is not adopted to the extent anticipated. Actual results are also subject to a number of other factors, including customer and distributor demand fluctuations, currency fluctuations and macro and other economic conditions both in the United States and internationally. The forward-looking statements contained in this release are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in McAfee's filings with the SEC including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
