Logility Reports Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2005 Results

Revenues Increased 14% for the Quarter Compared to Last Year

ATLANTA (March 3, 2005) Logility, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGTY), a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Key financial highlights for Logility include:

  • Software license fees for the quarter ended January 31, 2005 were $2.7 million, an increase of 6% over the third quarter of fiscal 2004;
  • Services and other revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2005 were $1.2 million, an increase of 9% over the third quarter of fiscal 2004;
  • Maintenance revenue fees for the quarter ended January 31, 2005 were $3.5 million, an increase of 22% over the third quarter of fiscal 2004;
  • Total revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2005 were $7.4 million, an increase of 14% over the third quarter of fiscal 2004;
  • Total cash and investments as of January 31, 2005 were $23.1 million, a sequential increase of $2.1 million compared to October 31, 2004.

GAAP net income was $84,000 or $0.01 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $1.1 million or $0.08 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Adjusted net income for the quarter ended January 31, 2005, which excludes the net loss of Demand Management, was $628,000 or $0.05 per fully diluted share compared to $1.1 million or $0.08 for the same period last year.

On September 30, 2004, Logility purchased certain assets and the distribution channel of privately-held Demand Management, Inc. (DMI), a St. Louis-based provider of supply chain planning systems marketed under the Demand Solutions brand, for approximately $8.7 million in cash. The third quarter 2005 results include Demand Management’s results. DMI reported a $544,000 loss for the quarter. The loss was primarily due to the purchase accounting requirement to fair value DMI’s deferred maintenance which lowers the maintenance revenue for GAAP reporting. For the third quarter ended January 31, 2005, DMI was operating cash flow positive by approximately $750,000.

Total revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2005 were $17.7 million compared to $17.0 million for the same period last year. Software license fees for both the nine months ended January 31, 2005 and the prior year were $4.8 million. Services and other revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2005 were $3.6 million compared to $3.9 million for the same period last year. Maintenance revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2005 were $9.2 million compared to $8.3 million for the same period last year. For the nine months ended January 31, 2005, the Company reported a GAAP net loss of $67,000, or loss per share of $0.01 compared to a GAAP net income of approximately $1.6 million or $0.12 per fully diluted share for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income for nine months ended January 31, 2005, which excludes the impact of the Demand Management acquisition, was $764,000 or $0.06 per fully diluted share compared to $1.6 million or $0.12 for the same period last year. Total DMI revenues for the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2005 were $2.0 million and $2.4 million.

The Company is including adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share in the summary financial information provided with this press release as additional, supplemental information relating to its operating results. This financial information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP per share measures used by other companies. The company believes that this presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

“We are pleased with Logility’s performance during the quarter, adding 21 new customers and contributing a significant sequential increase in cash of $2.1 million over the prior quarter. Additionally, we are happy with our progress integrating Demand Management, Inc. into the business,” said J. Michael Edenfield, Logility president and Chief Executive Officer. “Across both the Logility Voyager Solutions™ and Demand Solutions® brands, our customers realize the smart application of supply chain technology will increasingly drive a competitive advantage through reduced costs and improved product availability."
