Altair Announces Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Second Quarter Software Product Revenue Increased 22% Year-over-Year

TROY, Mich. – August 9, 2018 – Altair (Nasdaq:ALTR) released its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

“Altair’s strong second quarter results exceeded our revenue and profitability expectations and reflect continued business momentum,” said James Scapa, Founder, Chairman and CEO. “Our performance is benefitting from growing market demand for CAE solutions that greatly enhance product design across a growing number of industries.”

Scapa continued, “We are seeing the positive impact our organic and inorganic investments are having across the business. As we move into the second half of 2018 and beyond, we are confident Altair is well positioned to generate a compelling combination of strong revenue growth and expanding profitability.”

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

 

   

Software product revenue was $72.8 million, an increase of 22% from $59.6 million for the second quarter of 2017.

 

   

Total revenue was $95.6 million, an increase of 17% compared to $81.6 million for the second quarter of 2017.

 

   

GAAP net income was $1.5 million, compared to net loss of $(7.2) million for the second quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA was $7.3 million, compared to $4.1 million for the second 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 $3.9 million, compared to $5.1 million for the second 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.
