“Compuware has shaped its business to deliver steady, long-term growth in revenue and earnings,” said Compuware President and Chief Operating Officer Bob Paul. “This quarter’s results show clearly that we’re delivering on that goal. Total revenues are up compared to Q2 last year, with strength in our growth businesses overcoming a difficult compare in mainframe revenues.”
Compuware reports second quarter revenues of $225.9 million, up 3.6 percent from $217.9 million in Q2 last year. Second quarter earnings per share were 12 cents, based upon 224.4 million shares outstanding. Second quarter net income was $26 million.
“Compuware’s best-in-class offerings in the rapidly growing, multi-billion dollar application performance management and secure collaboration markets are increasingly contributing to our overall growth and profitability,” continued Paul. “With Vantage license fees up 48 percent and Gomez subscription fees—on a pro forma basis—up nearly 30 percent year-over-year, we’re establishing ourselves not only as the leader, but the world standard in APM.
“Supporting these growth engines, our mainframe business continues to sustain its strong renewal rate of more than 90 percent, and our Professional Services business is now showing year-over-year revenue and margin growth,” continued Paul. “Moving forward, I expect Compuware’s focused, balanced solution portfolio to continue producing market-leading value for our customers, shareholders and employees.”
During the company’s second quarter, software license fees were $45.6 million. Maintenance and subscription fees were $122 million in the second quarter, up 11.2 percent from $109.7 million in the second quarter last year. Revenue from Professional Services in the second quarter was $58.3 million, compared to $58.1 million in the same quarter last year.
