CDC Software Expects Record Q3 2007 Revenue

CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation and a provider of industry-specific enterprise software applications and business services, today announced preliminary revenue results and other financial information for the third quarter of 2007. Based on preliminary financial data, CDC Software expects total revenues for the third quarter of 2007, ended September 30, 2007, to be between US$87 million and US$88 million, which would be a record for Q3 revenues and an increase of over 40 percent from US$61.4 million in the third quarter of 2006. Software license revenues are expected to be between US$14.0 million and US$14.5 million which would be a record for Q3 software license revenues and an increase of approximately 18% to 22 percent from US$11.9 million in the third quarter of 2006. During the third quarter, the company also completed a restructuring which included the elimination of redundant positions related to recent acquisitions, as well as a reduction in facilities expenses through the consolidation of neighboring offices. Together with headcount reductions taken at the end of the second quarter related to the Saratoga acquisition, the company has eliminated an aggregate of approximately 90 positions for which the company expects to realize substantial cost savings in future periods. "Our third quarter earnings announcement for CDC Corporation has been delayed due to the extensive auditor review of our Q3 results required for our planned carveout of CDC Software. As we complete that process, we are very happy to report our preliminary results from the third quarter, which in the past has been CDC Software’s seasonally weakest period.” said Eric Musser, President and CEO of CDC Software. "This is our best-ever Q3 as our growth continues at a very healthy rate, reflected in our business with new-logo customers as well as our sales of new software and services to our current customers. Through our restructuring, we are also making adjustments to generate cost savings that are expected to further enhance our current profit margins.” About CDC Corporation The CDC family of companies includes CDC Software focused on enterprise software applications and services, CDC Mobile focused on mobile applications, CDC Games focused on online games, and China.com focused on portals for the greater China markets.
