Altair Announces First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

First Quarter Software Product Revenue Increased 26% Year-over-Year

TROY, Mich. – May 14, 2018 – Altair (Nasdaq:ALTR) released its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018.

“Altair started 2018 with a strong financial performance highlighted by software product revenue growth of 26% and profitability that exceeded expectations,” said James Scapa, Founder, Chairman and CEO. “Our performance in the first quarter reflects good execution, improving market dynamics and the positive impact of the investments we have made to strengthen our product portfolio and go-to-market team.”

Scapa continued, “We have further enhanced our solution set with the recent acquisitions of CANDI, which extends our capabilities around edge gateway computing and the Internet of Things, and FluiDyna, a developer of GPU-based fluid dynamics and numerical simulation technologies. These are exciting technologies that increase the value Altair can deliver for customers and exemplify our expanding number of opportunities for future growth.”

First Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

 

    Software product revenue was $68.1 million, an increase of 26% from $54.1 million for the first quarter of 2017.

 

    Total revenue was $91.7 million, an increase of 19% compared to $76.9 million for the first quarter of 2017.

 

    Net income was $3.9 million, compared to net loss of $(2.2) million for the first quarter of 2017. Diluted net income per share was $0.05, based on 72.4 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, compared to diluted net loss per share of $(0.04) for the first quarter of 2017, based on 50.1 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA was $7.7 million, compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense, interest expense, interest income and other, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management.

 

    Non-GAAP net income was $6.1 million, compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share and Free Cash Flow.

Altair believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company also believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.


Company management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Altair urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables at the end of this release.
