BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, February 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (NasdaqCM: CKSW), the leading provider of mobile workforce management and service optimization solutions, today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.


For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008, total revenues were $14.1 million, with net income of $5.0 million, or $0.17 per share. This compares with revenues of $10.4 million and net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share, for the same period last year, and revenues of $15.7 million and net income of $2.7 million, or $0.09 per share, for the third quarter of 2008.

Non-GAAP net income (excluding the effects of share-based compensation expenses related to the adoption of SFAS-123R and tax benefit) was $3.3 million, or $0.11 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. This compares to $0.7 million Non-GAAP net income, or $0.02 per share, for the same period last year, and Non-GAAP net income of $2.9 million or $0.10 per share, for the third quarter of 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company recorded a tax benefit due to the creation of a deferred tax asset in the amount of $1.9 million.

Software license revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $5.6 million, while service and maintenance revenues were $8.5 million. This compares to software license revenues of $3.2 million and service and maintenance revenues of $7.2 million for the same period last year, and $7.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2008.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $10.0 million, or 71% of revenues, compared to $6.7 million, or 64% of revenues, in the same period last year, and $10.6 million, or 68% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2008.

Full Year Results

Total revenues for 2008 grew 31% over 2007 to $52.3 million, with consolidated net income of $8.1 million, or $0.28 per share. This compares with revenues of $40.0 million and net income of $2.6 million, or $0.09 per share, for 2007. Excluding the effects of share-based compensation expenses related to the adoption of SFAS-123R and tax benefit, Non-GAAP net income for 2008 was $7.0 million, or $0.24 per share.

Management Commentary

"The results for 2008 show significant improvement in just about every aspect of the business: revenue growth, profitability, margins, and EPS. Specifically operating cash flow grew to a record level - the highest in the Company's history. These results for 2008 are particularly pleasing considering the global economy recession", says Dr. Moshe BenBassat, CEO and Chairman of ClickSoftware. "Year 2009 started in a positive way with an encouraging amount of business generated in the first month of the year. I believe that we are well positioned for continued growth in 2009," he added.

Outlook

While the Company currently expects that it will continue to grow in 2009, the level of uncertainty is too high to be able to reliably estimate the growth rate in terms of concrete numbers. Therefore no concrete guidance for 2009 is given at this point in time. The assessment that revenues will continue to grow in 2009 is based on a comfortable backlog going into 2009, and the strong start of the first month of 2009.

BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept 27, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (CKSW, Trade ), the leading provider of automated workforce management and optimization solutions for the service industry, today announced that a county fire and rescue service in the United Kingdom has purchased its shift rostering and planning solution.

The service embarked upon an HR transformation project following a report in 2008 by independent watchdog the Audit Commission which urged UK fire and rescue services to better manage their people in order to achieve efficiency savings and improve frontline services. The fire service in question recognized that optimized workforce management would have the greatest impact on the success of the transformation program. The existing system they used was labor intensive and struggled to efficiently cope with the dynamic nature of work, it would therefore not be capable of delivering the results expected as part of the transformation program.

It was with this in mind that the service selected ClickRoster from workforce management market leader ClickSoftware. The solution will roster thousands of wholetime and retained firefighters by the most cost effective means possible to achieve the mandated operational compliance.

ClickRoster will automatically create the roster for every station and every shift for both wholetime and retained firefighters, allocating individuals to specific roles based on skill requirements and the Watch Managers' decisions.

ClickRoster will, in advance, proactively alert Watch Managers of any potential shortfall in appliance and service coverage. ClickRoster will then identify and recommend relevant resources from neighboring stations that can be contacted and used to cover any shortfall, allowing the service to remedy the situation before a shift begins and before it becomes a problem.

The new system will also improve visibility and control of real-time operations by automatically providing dispatchers with an intuitive graphical view of actual appliance coverage in the field.

Retained Firefighters will have the flexibility to receive and send shift confirmation directly to ClickRoster via SMS. This will save time and money by eliminating the need for individuals to visit their station to confirm their availability or non-availability for work.

"Public sector organizations across the UK, as in many parts of the world, are facing tough times. With its capability to improve service levels using less people, workforce optimization must be the single most important technology to meet this challenge head on," said Dr. Moshe BenBassat, Chairman and CEO of ClickSoftware. "ClickRoster will provide this fire service with a clear advantage in cutting costs whilst also improving the efficiency of its frontline services."
