总收入同比增长18%
上海1月17日电 /新华美通/ -- 罗盛软件（纳斯达克代码：LWSN）今日公布了截止至2007年11月30日的2008财年第二财季财务报告。罗盛软件从2007年6月1日起进入2008财年，第二财季的 GAAP（公认会计原则）收入上升至2.186亿美元，与2007年同期收入1.845亿美元相比，增幅为18%。公司公布的各项收入均为两位数增长，其中软件许可证收入上升至3300万美元（增长50%）,服务维护收入上升至8470 万美元（增长19%），咨询收入上升至1.009亿美元（增长10%）。
第二财季的 GAAP 净收入为370万美元，每股摊薄为0.02美元。净收入的同比增长主要归功于软件许可证和维护收入的增加。这些收益与其他收益中记录的420万美元非运营永久性减损支出相抵，降低了公司所持有的拍卖利率证券的公允价值。详见如下所述：减损支出对净收益的影响每股摊薄为0.02美元。公司估计币值波动对每股净收益亦有负面影响，可达0.01美元。有关币值波动对罗盛软件历年绩效的影响，请参考本报告附表 1。
所公布的 GAAP 净收益和每股净收益中税前开支总计770万美元，其中包括无形资产摊销，已购入的维护合同摊销，采购账目对咨询成本和重组支出的影响，以及拍卖利率证券的420万美元永久性减损支出和220万美元的非现金股权激励。除去以上开支，并包括对前 Intentia International AB 收购产生的期初递延收入余额的采购账目调整后获得的40万美元的维护和服务收入，2008财年第二财季的非 GAAP 净收益为1560万美元，每股摊薄为0.09美元。
“我们第二财季的结果表明我们各地区各方面都有强大实力，”总裁兼 CEO Harry Debes 认为，“追求卓越是永无止境的，公司收益的同比增长印证了我们在业务方面取得的飞速进展。”
截至2007年11月30日的半年度
截至2007年11月30日为止的半年中 GAAP 收入为4.06亿美元，同比3.463亿美元增幅达17%。GAAP 净收入为930万美元，每股摊薄为 0.05美元。公司估计半年中币值波动对每股净收益产生负面影响，达0.02美元。
所公布的半年度 GAAP 结果中税前开支为1940万美元，其中包括已收购无形资产摊销，拍卖利率证券的永久性减损支出，已购入维护合同摊销，采购账目对咨询成本和重组支出的影响以及430万美元的非现金股权激励。除去以上开支，并包括对前 Intentia International AB 收购产生的期初递延收入余额的采购账目调整后获得的100万美元的维护和服务收入，截至2007年11月30日的半年度非 GAAP 净收益为2830万美元，每股摊薄为0.15美元。
财务展望
2008财年的第三季度止于2008年2月29日，预计公司总收入可达2.16亿美元至2.20亿美元，其中包括许可费用同比增长约20%。公司期望 GAAP 全面摊薄每股净收益为0.03 至 0.04 美元，其中不含拍卖利率证券的进一步减损。非 GAAP 全面摊薄每股收益预计为0.07至 0.08美元，其中不含预计为950万美元的税前开支，包括与收购相关的无形资产摊销，已购入的维护合同摊销以及股权激励费用。2008财年非 GAAP 的有效税率预计为37%至40%。
2008财年第二财季关键衡量标准
-- 季末公司拥有的现金、现金等价物、有价证券及长期投资总值为4.241亿美
元（其中不含750万美元限定用途现金），上季末2007年 8月31日结余为
4.831亿美元（其中不含700万美元限定用途现金）
-- 递延收入总额为1.765亿美元，包括3610万美元递延收入，截至2007年8月
31日的上季结余为2.363亿美元，包括3530万美元递延许可证收入。递延收入
下降归因于公司续订日期现已改至第三、四财季所引起的递延维护收入下降。
-- 软件许可证交易总数有所上升，已完成交易为331宗，上年同期为307宗。所有
已完成交易的平均售价与上年同期基本持平。
-- 新签署了三十八宗新客户交易，上年同期为27宗。对新客户的平均售价为37.3万
美元，上年同期为42万美元。此趋势预计还将持续，由于美国本土以外地区 M3
销售的平均交易规模较小。
-- 新签署的交易中，超过1百万美元为2宗，50万至1百万之间为8宗，去年同期分别
为3宗和13宗。
-- 关键客户：美国 - 俄亥俄州哥伦布市 Children's Hospital Central
California，堪萨斯州托皮卡市 Marsh Supermarkets，Mosaic Sales
Solutions，内不拉斯加医学中心 (Nebraska Medical Center)，明尼苏达州
Oldcastle 和 Scott County。欧洲、中东和非洲地区 -- Boissons Glacieres

Limited。亚太地区 -- 新西兰 Kumfs，Sheppard Industries Limited，日本

-- 公司在第二财季回购了331,766股普通股，总值310万美元，平均每股9.29美元。
自2006年11月最初授权回购200万美元以来，公司已回购股份达1250万股，价值
1.116亿美元，每股平均8.93美元，占2006年11月已发行股份的6.7%。
拍卖利率证券的减损支出
截至2007年11月30日，公司拥有现金及现金等价物总值为4.316亿美元，其中包括2760万美元有价证券和5870万美元长期投资。在保守的公司政策影响下，公司长期以来仅将过剩现金投向评级高的投资级证券，将保有资本和流动性作为首要目标。2007年11月30日公司长期投资持有评级 AA 或 AAA 的拍卖利率证券，可随时用于偿还债务。但是，这些证券的流动和公允价值主要受到信贷市场不确定因素和债券保险公司的财务状况影响。因此，出于谨慎性原则并部分基于管理公司投资的经纪交易商所提供的市场信息，记录永久性减损支出为 420 万美元，临时性减损支出为 80 万美元，以将公司拍卖利率证券的价值降至本财季末的估计公允价值 5870 万美元。永久性减损支出记录为其他收入项的非运营亏损，影响 GAAP 全面摊薄收益每股 0.02 美元。80 万美元临时性减损支出记录为股东权益的未实现损失。减损支出是未来预计资本减值，且公司目前无法通过资本增值抵消。因此，此项减损中不含税收优惠。同时，公司于 2007 年 11 月 30 日将拍卖利率证券划为长期投资。

We provide the percent change in the results from one period to another using constant currency disclosure to adjust year-over-year measurements for impacts due to currency fluctuations. Constant currency changes should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for changes in revenues, expenses, income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We calculate constant currency changes by converting entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect for the current period rather than the previous period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software reports non-GAAP financial results. These non-GAAP results exclude amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, Intentia integration costs, and other expenses. In addition, Lawson's non-GAAP financial results include pro forma revenue for maintenance and consulting contracts acquired in the Intentia acquisition for which the deferred revenue on Intentia's balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP results as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. Lawson's management believes the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use to analyze software companies that have recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release.
