MapInfo Reports Fourth Quarter Non-GAAP EPS of $0.18, GAAP EPS of $0.13 on Revenues of $43.1 Million

TROY, N.Y.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—November 2, 2006— MapInfo Corporation (Nasdaq: MAPS), the leading global provider of location intelligence solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, MapInfo reported total revenue of $43.1 million, an increase of seven percent compared to the prior year period. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, MapInfo reported total revenue of $165.5 million, an increase of 11 percent compared to the prior fiscal year. On an organic, year-over-year basis, worldwide total revenue grew four percent in the fiscal fourth quarter 2006 and seven percent for the full fiscal year 2006, excluding acquisitions completed in the respective year ago time periods.

Mark Cattini, president and chief executive officer of MapInfo, stated, "During the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2006, MapInfo made progress with our strategic initiatives, including penetrating our key target vertical markets; increasing the adoption of our Envinsa(TM) platform; expanding the number of joint customer engagements with leading business intelligence players and growing the awareness of the location intelligence market as we continue to invest in marketing to establish MapInfo's industry leadership position."

Cattini continued, "We were particularly encouraged by the progress we made to improve the execution of our European operations during the fourth quarter, and we are excited to announce the addition of John O'Hara as our new executive vice president, international operations. John brings 27 years of experience in global sales, marketing and management, including executive roles with technology market leaders such as IBM, Microsoft and Lotus Development Corporation. We are confident that John will have a positive impact on developing our global business in fiscal 2007 and beyond."

For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, MapInfo delivered non-GAAP operating income of $5.6 million, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and European severance costs, an increase of 24 percent compared to $4.5 million in the prior year period, and an operating margin of 13 percent.

Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $4.1 million, or $0.18 per share. The net impact of the stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, and the net impact of European severance costs was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share. As a result, GAAP operating income was $4 million and net income was $2.8 million, or $0.13 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to GAAP operating income of $4.5 million and net income of $3.9 million, or $0.18 per share, in the prior year period.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, MapInfo delivered non-GAAP operating income of $17.8 million, an increase of 14 percent compared to $15.7 million in the prior year period and an operating margin of 11 percent. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 was $12.9 million, or $0.59 per share, compared to $10.2 million, or $0.48 per share, in the prior fiscal year. This represented year-over-year growth of 26 percent in non-GAAP net income and 23 percent in non-GAAP EPS. The net impact of the stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $2.5 million, or $0.12 per share, and the net impact of the European severance costs was $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share. As a result, GAAP operating income was $13.3 million and GAAP net income was $9.7 million, or $0.44 per share during fiscal 2006, which compares to GAAP operating income of $15.7 million and GAAP net income of $10.2 million, or $0.48 per share, in the prior fiscal year.

Supplemental schedules, including a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures and the allocation of stock-based compensation expense included in net income, are provided at the end of this press release.

MapInfo had cash and investments of $90.4 million at September 30, 2006, an increase of $4.3 million from $86.1 million at the end of the prior quarter. Deferred revenue was $22.5 million at September 30, 2006, an increase of $0.8 million from $21.7 million at the end of the prior quarter. The company generated approximately $16.0 million in cash from operations during fiscal 2006.

Cattini concluded, "We believe there is growing awareness of location intelligence as a mission-critical business solution, and our sales pipeline was solid exiting the fiscal year. We have seen evidence that our investments are paying off based on the strong growth rates in retail, financial services and insurance that we delivered in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007, our plan is to supplement the growth in these key vertical markets with a targeted set of actions and initiatives in both the public sector and communications vertical markets. In Fiscal 2007, we will continue to invest in sales and marketing, and potentially supplement organic growth with strategic acquisitions, in order to further advance our vertical market strategy."

Guidance

For the first fiscal quarter 2007, the company anticipates revenue in the range of $41 million to $42.5 million and GAAP earnings per share of $0.08 to $0.11. Included in the company's earnings guidance is an estimate for stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.03 per share and an additional $0.01 per share relating to European severance expense.

For the full year fiscal 2007, the company anticipates revenue of $176 million to $182 million and GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.48 to $0.53. Included in the company's earnings guidance is an estimate for stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.12 per share and $0.01 per share for the European severance costs.

Non-GAAP Information

The company is presenting non-GAAP net income and earnings per share. These measures are determined by excluding stock-based compensation expense determined under SFAS 123(R) associated with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and non-recurring severance expenses associated with management changes in our European operations, in addition to the results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in this press release. Management evaluated the usefulness of the non-GAAP measure in presenting net income and earnings per share for the three months and full year ended September 30, 2006. The company believes that the non-GAAP measures provided, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of the company's reported GAAP results assist investors in understanding the results of operations on comparative basis, since the prior comparable period did not include stock compensation expense or severance expense. In addition, the company's management uses the non-GAAP measures to conduct and evaluate its business. The economic reason management uses such a measure is that the business is managed geographically. The geographic managers are not responsible for, and cannot control, costs related to stock compensation expense, nor can they anticipate non-recurring items such as severance expenses.

Therefore management excludes these measures internally to measure the success of the various geographies and does not include stock compensation or severance expense when disclosing segment information. The primary limitation associated with the use of the non-GAAP financial measure compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is that it may not be comparable to amounts reported by other companies. Management compensates for this limitation by clearly stating both the non-GAAP and the GAAP measures. The company also reiterates that this information should be used in addition to GAAP results, and not in lieu of the GAAP results.
