Indus International Provides Update on Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2006 Results of Operations
Business Wire, April 4, 2006
ATLANTA -- Indus International Inc. (NASDAQ: IINT), a leading Service Delivery Management (SDM) solution provider, today updated its adjusted earnings per share projection for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, and provided preliminary results for expected year-end GAAP earnings per share, fourth quarter license fees and fiscal year-end cash balance.
The company expects fiscal 2006 GAAP earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.12 per fully diluted share. Adjusted earnings per share exclude the impact of restructuring charges and benefits. The company's previous guidance for adjusted earnings per share was $0.12 to $0.18 per fully diluted share.

The company currently anticipates that fourth quarter license revenue will be approximately $5 million. From a balance sheet perspective, the company expects to report an increase in cash of approximately $3 million since the end of the fiscal third quarter, to end the year with approximately $42.3 million in cash and equivalents.
Commenting on the update, Indus President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Dukat stated, "In keeping with our policy of providing timely information to our stockholders and the public at large, we felt it was appropriate to provide this update. While we are disappointed with our results at the close of fiscal 2006, which was attributable primarily to delays in the execution of license agreements at the end of the quarter, we believe that our core business strategy and fundamentals remain sound and we are well positioned against our competition. We continue to have a very positive outlook for fiscal 2007 as our pipeline remains strong, and we continue to gain momentum with our product offerings and within our client base. We look forward to providing a full update of our results of operations with the release of our fourth quarter and fiscal 2006 earnings that we expect to issue in early May."
The company is currently in the process of finalizing its results for fiscal 2006, and the company's independent registered public accounting firm has not yet completed its audit of the company's fiscal year-end results. As such, there can be no assurance that actual GAAP and adjusted earnings per fully diluted share for fiscal 2006, license revenue for the fourth quarter and cash and cash equivalents at fiscal year-end will not be lower than expected.
