Websense Announces Record Revenue for Q2’08 and Increases FY’08 Revenue and Non-GAAP Earnings Outlook

Quarterly Billings Total More Than $87 Million; Non-GAAP Revenue and Non-GAAP Net Income at Record Levels; Post Acquisition Performance of the Combined Company Continues to Exceed Projections for Non-GAAP Earnings and Cash Flow Accretion

SAN DIEGO, CA–(EMWNews – July 28, 2008) – Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) today announced

financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, and increased

its 2008 outlook. The company expects 2008 revenue, calculated in

accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), to be

in the range of $290 to $295 million, 2008

non-GAAP revenue to be in the range of $340 to $345 million, and non-GAAP

earnings per share in the range of $1.30 to $1.35 per diluted share.

Second quarter revenue, calculated in accordance with GAAP, increased to

$73.0 million in the second quarter of 2008, from $50.4 million in the

second quarter of 2007. The increase was a result of the addition of new,

renewed and upgraded subscriptions, including approximately $19 million

from new or renewal SurfControl seat subscriptions and revenue recognized

from the deferred revenue acquired from SurfControl in October 2007.

The company posted a net loss of $8.2 million, or 18 cents per diluted

share, for the second quarter of 2008, compared to net income of $2.1

million, or 5 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007.

GAAP operating results reflected the write-down of the majority of

SurfControl’s deferred revenue to fair value as of the acquisition close

date of October 3, 2007, which had the effect of reducing revenue that

would have otherwise been recognizable by $15.2 million, and included

certain operating expenses totaling $20.5 million that are excluded from

the company’s non-GAAP results. A detailed discussion of non-GAAP results

is included below and a full reconciliation is available in the table

“Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Consolidated Statements of Operations”

at the end of this news release.

Operating cash flow for the quarter was approximately $5 million, including

approximately $3 million in cash payments for acquisition-related costs,

compared to operating cash flow of approximately $2.5 million in the second

quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP Operating Results

Billings for the second quarter, which represent the full amount of

subscription contracts billed to customers during the period, were $87.3

million, compared to $54.5 million for Websense standalone and $93.5

million including SurfControl billings in the second quarter of 2007. The

average duration of second quarter contracts was 21.8 months, compared to

23.6 months in the second quarter of 2007. This change reflects an

increase in the mix of one-year contracts to 56 percent of total billings,

compared to 48 percent of total billings in the second quarter of 2007.

Second quarter non-GAAP revenue was a record $88.2 million and included

approximately $15.2 million in subscription revenue from past billings to

SurfControl customers that would have been recognized during this period

had SurfControl remained an independent company reporting under GAAP. This

subscription revenue was included in SurfControl’s deferred revenue as of

the acquisition date, but is not recognized as subscription revenue on a

post-acquisition basis under GAAP due to the impact of the write-down of

the majority of SurfControl’s deferred revenue to fair value as of the

acquisition date.

Non-GAAP operating income was $27.6 million, or 31.3 percent of non-GAAP

revenue. Second quarter non-GAAP operating expenses of $60.5 million

excluded cash and non-cash acquisition related expenses of approximately

$14.5 million and stock-based compensation expense of approximately $6

million. Second quarter non-GAAP net income was a record $17.1 million, or

37 cents per share, an increase of 73 percent from the $9.9 million, or 22

cents per diluted share, in non-GAAP net income posted in the second

quarter of 2007. In April 2007, when Websense announced plans to acquire

SurfControl, management expected the combination to be accretive to

non-GAAP earnings by at least 20 percent. The costs excluded from non-GAAP

earnings are fully detailed in the footnotes to the table “Reconciliation

of GAAP to Non-GAAP Consolidated Statements of Operations” at the end of

this news release.

“The strength of this quarter’s results demonstrates the resiliency of our

subscription-based recurring revenue model, as well as outstanding

performance by our sales teams worldwide on customer retention and product

cross-selling. I am pleased to report that we continue to exceed our

initial accretion expectations for the SurfControl acquisition, and we are

now focused on the potential growth opportunities afforded by the combined

company,” said Gene Hodges, Websense chief executive officer.

“We recognized the growing importance of the Internet and Web 2.0

technologies in the business environment more than two years ago, and we

outlined a roadmap to develop and acquire the technologies we needed to

extend our Web security leadership,” added Hodges. “We have executed as

planned, and in the second quarter, we delivered on key milestones with the

managed initial releases of our next-generation Web Security Gateway, our

data loss prevention endpoint module and new data loss prevention features

in our email filter. Today, we believe we stand alone in our ability to

integrate security solutions for the Web, email and data.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Metrics

The company’s balance sheet remains strong, with cash and cash equivalents

of $65 million, accounts receivable of $61.6 million and total GAAP

deferred revenue of $302.5 million as of June 30, 2008. Significant

changes to the balance sheet compared to the prior quarter included:


--  An increase in accounts receivable by approximately $14.5 million,

    which reflected the $20 million sequential increase in quarterly billings.

    Days sales outstanding remained within historical target ranges at 63 days.

--  An increase of approximately $14.9 million in GAAP deferred revenue,

    reflecting the difference between billings booked and GAAP revenue

    recognized during the quarter.

    

During the quarter, the company repaid an additional $5 million in long

term debt, bringing total principal payments to date to $55 million and

reducing long term debt to $155 million as of June 30, 2008, from $210

million at the close of the SurfControl acquisition. The company also

repurchased a total of 274,000 shares for approximately $5 million under a

10b5-1 plan and paid $2 million for repurchases made at the end of the

first quarter under this plan.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2008

Websense updates its annual guidance on its anticipated financial

performance for the fiscal year each quarter based on its assessment of the

current business environment and historical seasonal trends in its

business, as well as assessments of historical SurfControl results adjusted

to conform to GAAP. In providing fiscal year 2008 guidance, the company

emphasizes that its forward-looking statements are based on current

expectations and disclaims any obligation to update the statements as

circumstances change.


                                                       2008 Outlook

                                                     (as of 7/28/08)

                                                --------------------------

  Billings                                      $        345 - 355 million

  GAAP revenue                                  $        290 - 295 million

  Non-GAAP revenue                              $        340 - 345 million

  Non-GAAP operating margin                                        29 - 30%

  Stock-based compensation expense              approximately $ 25 million



  Amortization of intangible assets (non-cash)  approximately $ 50 million

  Net cash interest expense                     $           9 - 10 million

  Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share           $              1.30 - 1.35

  Assumed Non-GAAP tax rate                               approximately 35%

  Average diluted shares outstanding                       45 - 47 million

Non-GAAP guidance for 2008 revenue includes approximately $52 million in

subscription revenue of SurfControl that would have been recognized under

subscriptions that were included in deferred revenue as of the date of the

acquisition that will not be recognized as revenue during the applicable

period as revenue on a post acquisition basis under GAAP due to the impact

of the write-down of the majority of SurfControl’s deferred revenue to fair

value as of the acquisition date.

The company continues to expect non-GAAP quarterly revenue to decline on a

sequential basis and be within the range of $84 to $85 million for each of

the remaining quarters of 2008.

Non-GAAP guidance for 2008 earnings per diluted share excludes stock-based

compensation expense, certain cash and non-cash expenses related to the

acquisitions of PortAuthority and SurfControl and the impact of a favorable

tax ruling in the first quarter of 2008, (as detailed in “Non-GAAP

Financial Measures” below). Additionally, based on the current business

outlook and collections trends, the company continues to expect its cash

flow from operations for 2008 to exceed $75 million, excluding acquisition

related and legal settlement costs, compared to $53.6 million in operating

cash flow in 2007.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release provides financial measures for the second quarter of

2008 and guidance for the full year, including guidance for revenue,

operating margin, net income and earnings per diluted share, that include

revenue from SurfControl that would have been recognized during the second

quarter and full year 2008 under subscriptions that were included in

deferred revenue as of the date of the acquisition but will not be

recognized as revenue on a post-acquisition basis under GAAP due to the

impact of the write-down of a majority of SurfControl’s deferred revenue to

fair value as of the acquisition date. In addition, second quarter

non-GAAP operating results and full year guidance exclude certain cash and

non-cash expenses relating to the PortAuthority and SurfControl

acquisitions, including restructuring costs relating to headcount reduction

and facility closures, integration travel, retention bonuses, amortization

of intangible assets and deferred financing fees, and professional fees, as

well as stock-based compensation expense and related tax effects. Full year

guidance also excludes the benefit of the reversal of a tax provision based

upon a favorable tax ruling. Based on the foregoing, the company’s

presentation of non-GAAP revenue, operating margin, net income and earnings

per diluted share are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management

believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful

supplemental information regarding our performance that enhances

management’s and investors’ ability to evaluate the company’s operating

results, trends and prospects and to compare current operating results with

historic operating results. A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP

statements of operations for the second quarter is provided at the end of

this press release.

This press release also includes financial measures for billings that are

not numerical measures that can be calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Websense provides this measurement in press releases reporting financial

performance because this measurement provides a consistent basis for

understanding the company’s sales activities in the current period. The

company believes the billings measurement is useful to investors because

the GAAP measurements of revenue and deferred revenue in the current period

include subscription contracts commenced in prior periods. The

reconciliation of billings to deferred revenue for the second quarter of

2008 is set forth at the end of this press release.
