*A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure referenced in this press release to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the tables following this news release.
"CA has recorded another solid quarter - our fifth in a row," said John Swainson, CA's president and chief executive officer. "Most importantly, we remain on course to finish the year with revenue and earnings per share exceeding the updated annual outlook provided at our financial analyst day last December.
"I am very satisfied with our continued performance improvement, and I am very proud of the people of CA for their efforts and accomplishments," Swainson continued. "Our EITM strategy enables us to communicate CA's value proposition to customers in a clear and compelling way, and we have made considerable progress in our efforts to cross-sell and up-sell a broader portfolio of CA products to new and existing customers.
"I am confident that CA's stable customer base and rich product portfolio puts us in a strong position in today's competitive environment. Our results are clearly showing the benefits of the transformation efforts we began three years ago. We continue to manage our business prudently: controlling costs, increasing efficiency and improving margins at the same time as we focus on delivering innovative products and driving revenue growth," Swainson concluded.
Third Quarter Results
Total revenue for the third quarter was $1.100 billion, an increase of 10 percent, or 4 percent in constant currency, compared to $1.002 billion reported in the comparable prior year period. For the first three quarters of fiscal year 2008, total revenue was $3.192 billion, up 9 percent, or 5 percent in constant currency, over the first three quarters of fiscal year 2007.
Total North American revenue was up 5 percent in the third quarter while revenue from international operations was up 17 percent, or 4 percent on a constant currency basis, compared to the same period last year.
Total product and services bookings in the third quarter were $1.228 billion, compared to $1.553 billion reported in the comparable prior year period, and, as expected, declined 21 percent on a year-over-year basis. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company renewed 16 license agreements greater than $10 million, totaling $303 million, compared to 18 such deals, totaling $700 million, in the prior year period. The weighted average duration of new direct bookings in the third quarter was 3.16 years, compared to 3.74 years in the prior year's third quarter. When annualized, the year-over-year decrease from new direct bookings was 9 percent.
For the first three quarters of fiscal year 2008, total product and services bookings were $3.069 billion, up 9 percent from the $2.805 billion reported in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2007. In addition, annualized direct bookings for the first three quarters of the fiscal year increased 17 percent over the same period last year. The Company now expects total product and services bookings for the full 2008 fiscal year to grow at a percentage in the mid-teens over the prior year.
Total expenses, before interest and income taxes, for the third quarter were $851 million, a decrease of 6 percent, compared to $907 million in the prior year period. The third quarter was positively affected by a decrease in amortization of capitalized software from the comparable quarter last year. In the third quarter, GAAP operating income was $249 million, representing an operating margin of 23 percent, a 14 percentage point improvement from the prior year period.
Total expenses, before interest and income taxes, for the first three quarters were $2.488 billion, a decrease of 8 percent, compared to the $2.712 billion reported in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2007. The decline in expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in amortization of capitalized software, lower restructuring costs and improved expense management.
On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes purchased software and intangibles, amortization, restructuring and other costs, the Company reported third quarter operating expenses of $800 million, up one percent from the $791 million reported in the prior year period. Excluding the negative impact of currency, non-GAAP operating expenses were down 3 percent year-over-year. In the third quarter, non-GAAP operating income was $300 million, up 42 percent from the prior year period and representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 27 percent - a 6 percentage point improvement from the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.
The Company recorded GAAP income from continuing operations of $163 million for the third quarter, or $0.31 per diluted common share, compared to $52 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, in the prior year period. This improvement is a result of higher revenue, expense control and the decrease in amortization of purchased software and restructuring costs described above. For the first three quarters of fiscal year 2008, GAAP income from continuing operations was $429 million, or $0.80 per diluted common share, up from the $141 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, reported in the same period in fiscal year 2007.
The Company recorded non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $192 million for the third quarter, or $0.36 per diluted common share, compared to $133 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, reported a year earlier. For the first three quarters of fiscal year 2008, non-GAAP income from continuing operations was $524 million, up 34 percent from the first three quarters of fiscal year 2007, while non-GAAP earnings per diluted common share were $0.97 in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2008, an increase of 43 percent, over the $0.68 reported in the same period in fiscal year 2007.
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, CA reported cash flow from operations of $233 million, compared to $587 million in cash flow from operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. The year-over-year decline was due primarily to last year's stronger than usual bookings in the third quarter, the result of a catch-up from a weaker than normal first half of fiscal year 2007. Cash flow also was affected by an investment in working capital in the third quarter, the majority of which the Company expects to recover in the fourth quarter of 2008. Additionally, third quarter cash flow was affected by lower than expected cash taxes due principally to a tax refund. For the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Company recorded $413 million in cash flow from operations compared to $547 million reported in the prior year period.
Capital Structure
The balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Dec. 31, 2007, was $2.078 billion. With $2.575 billion in total debt outstanding, the Company has a net debt position of $497 million.
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2008
The Company updated its fiscal year 2008 annual outlook based on current expectations. The following represents "forward-looking statements" (as defined below).
-- The range for total revenue increases to $4.25 billion to $4.28 billion from the prior outlook of $4.15 billion to $4.2 billion. The new outlook is at the high end of the Company's original guidance of 3 to 4 percent growth in constant currency;
-- The range for GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations increases to $0.99 to $1.03 per share from the previous outlook of $0.87 to $0.91 per share and includes $60 million in charges from previously disclosed restructuring plans, compared to the previous estimate of $35 million;
-- The range for Non-GAAP operating earnings per share increases to $1.22 to $1.26 per share compared to the previous outlook of $1.06 to $1.10 per share; and,
-- The full-year cash flow from operations outlook of $1.05 billion to $1.1 billion is reaffirmed. The Company said it expects cash taxes for the fiscal year 2008 to be lower than the previously estimated $470 million and restructuring payments of $90 million to $100 million compared to the previous estimate of $84 million.
The revenue and earnings per share guidance is updated for currency exchange rates and assumes no acquisitions.
The Company anticipates approximately 514 million shares outstanding at fiscal year-end and a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 541 million shares for the fiscal year. The Company also expects a full-year tax rate on non-GAAP income of approximately 36 percent.

This news release, the accompanying tables and the additional content that is available on the Company's website, including a supplemental financial package, includes certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP metrics for operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share exclude the following items: non-cash amortization of purchased software and other intangibles, charges for in-process research and development costs, and restructuring and other charges. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations also excludes the interest on convertible bonds. Tax rate on non-GAAP income from continuing operations is determined by reference to an estimated effective full year tax rate inclusive of tax rate impacts of certain discrete items, such as non-US tax rate changes, reconciliations of non-US tax filings to non-US tax provisions and resolutions of US and international tax contingencies. Non-GAAP adjusted cash flow excludes restructuring and other payments and SEC settlement payments. Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. By excluding these items, non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and cash flows, to competitors' operating results and cash flows, and to estimates made by securities analysts. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate its performance and they are key variables in determining management incentive compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
In addition, the Company has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are attached to this news release.
