SupportSoft Reports First Quarter 2009 Financial Results
REDWOOD CITY, CA – April 29, 2009 — SupportSoft, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPRT), a provider of software and services that make technology work, today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Q1 2009 Financial Summary
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $10.5 million, as compared to $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter of 2009, Consumer revenue was $3.6 million as compared to $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $703,000 in the first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter of 2009, Enterprise revenue was $6.9 million as compared to $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2008. First quarter 2009 Enterprise revenue consisted of $807,000 of license revenue, $3.7 million of maintenance revenue and $2.4 million of service revenue.
On a GAAP basis, net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $7.4 million, or $(0.16) per share, compared to a net loss of $6.8 million, or $(0.15) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $3.6 million, or $(0.08) per share, in the first quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $5.3 million, or $(0.11) per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3.4 million, or $(0.07) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $2.4 million, or $(0.05) per share, in the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP results exclude stock compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and impairment charges. These items totaled $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2009, $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, and $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2008. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is presented in the tables below.
At March 31, 2009 cash and total investments including a put option relating to auction rate securities were $89.9 million, compared to $95.0 million at December 31, 2008.
“We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter, particularly the strong revenue growth posted by the Consumer business in the current economic environment,” said Josh Pickus, CEO of SupportSoft. “We are progressing rapidly with plans to sell our Enterprise business and establish ourselves as a pure play provider of technology enabled services for the digital home and small office.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding our expected future performance as well as assumptions underlying or relating to such statements of expectation, all of which are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We are subject to many risks and uncertainties that may materially affect our business and future performance and cause those forward-looking statements to be inaccurate. All statements in this press release, other than statements that are purely historical, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “outlook,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “forecasts,” “estimates” and similar expressions often identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, without limitation, the following: statements about SupportSoft’s company-wide and segment revenue for the first quarter of 2009, the progress of its Consumer partnerships and cost reduction measures and the sale of the Enterprise business.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the potential for first quarter 2009 revenue to change based on the completion of the quarterly closing and review by SupportSoft’s independent registered public accounting firm; our dependence on a limited number of channel partners for our Consumer revenue; the potential that any of SupportSoft’s consumer partnerships take longer to produce revenue or do not produce revenue; the possibility that the sale of the Enterprise business will not be completed successfully; the possibility that restructuring actions and other cost reduction measures may not be effective as planned; our ability to successfully transition divestitures and acquisitions; as
well as other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC filings, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2009. You can locate these filings on the Investor Relations page of our website, www.supportsoft.com/Company/investor_relations.html.
Statements included in this release are based upon information known to SupportSoft as of the date of this release, and SupportSoft assumes no obligation to publicly revise or update any statement for any reason.
Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
SupportSoft has excluded stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and impairment charges from its GAAP results in order to determine the non-GAAP financial measures of net loss and net loss per share. Each of the excluded items (as such items are applicable to particular time periods) is discussed in more detail below.
Stock-based compensation — we believe that the non-GAAP measures, excluding stock-based compensation expenses, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, assist investors in understanding our results of operations. Stock-based compensation expenses do not require cash settlement and are not used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business.
Amortization of intangible assets — the Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle; therefore management excludes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and related charges when evaluating its operating performance. The Company also excludes such charges as they represent non-cash expenses.
Restructuring and impairment charges — we believe the non-GAAP measures, excluding restructuring and impairment charges, provide meaningful supplemental information to investors in understanding our ongoing operational costs and expenses, without the broad-based termination costs that comprised our restructuring expense. The Company does not undertake significant restructurings on a predictable basis and, as result, excludes associated charges in order to enable better and more consistent evaluation of the Company’s operating expenses before and after such actions are taken.
SupportSoft uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate its performance from period to period and against the performance of other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. We also believe that investors benefit from seeing “through the eyes of management” as our operating budgets and compensation programs are based on the non-GAAP financial measures we present in this press release.
Finally, SupportSoft believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information for investors to evaluate our operating results in the same manner as the research analysts that follow SupportSoft, all of whom present non-GAAP projections in their published reports. As such, the non-GAAP measures provided by the Company facilitate an “apples to apples” comparison of our performance with the financial projections published by the analysts.
The economic substance behind our decision to use such non-GAAP measures is that such measures approximate our controllable operating performance more closely than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
The material limitation associated with the use of the non-GAAP financial measures is that the non-GAAP measures do not reflect the full economic impact of the Company’s activities and reliance solely on non-GAAP measures may lead management to make business decisions with unanticipated economic consequences on the Company’s GAAP financial results. We compensate for this limitation by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP financial measures to make business decisions. We also continuously reevaluate which non-GAAP measures are appropriate.
Amounts related to the first quarter of 2009 are subject to completion of management’s and its independent registered public accounting firm’s customary closing and review procedures.
Important Additional Information Will Be Filed With The SEC
SupportSoft filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC on April 10, 2009 and plans to file with the SEC and mail to its stockholders a definitive proxy statement in connection with the proposed sale of the Enterprise Business and the other corporate matters described therein. The preliminary proxy statement contains (and the definitive proxy statement will contain) important information about SupportSoft, Consona Corporation, the proposed sale of the Enterprise Business and the other corporate matters described therein. Investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement carefully before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the proposed sale of the Enterprise Business and the other corporate matters described therein. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other documents filed with the SEC by SupportSoft through the web site maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In addition, investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the proxy statement from SupportSoft by contacting Maura Burns at maura.burns@supportsoft.com or (650) 556-8992.
SupportSoft and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposed sale of the Enterprise Business and the other corporate matters set forth in the proxy statement. Information regarding SupportSoft’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of SupportSoft’s shares is contained in SupportSoft’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and in the preliminary proxy statement that was filed on April 10, 2009, and is supplemented by other public filings made, and to be made, with the SEC. A more complete description will be available in the definitive proxy statement we expect to file in connection with the proposed sale of the Enterprise Business. Investors and security holders may obtain additional information regarding the direct and indirect interests of SupportSoft and its directors and executive officers with respect to the proposed sale of the Enterprise Business by reading the proxy statement and other filings referred to above.

The adjustments above reconcile the Company’s GAAP financial results to the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude restructuring and impairment charges, stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from the GAAP financial results. The Company believes that presentation of these non-GAAP items provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, when viewed in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the Company’s GAAP results. However, the non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. See the text of this press release for more information on non-GAAP financial measures.
Amounts in the first quarter of 2009 are subject to completion of management’s and its independent registered public accounting firm’s customary closing and review procedures.
