Results Overview:
Revenue for the second quarter ended July 31, 2009 was $9.9 million compared with $10.5 million for the corresponding quarter in the prior year, a decrease of 5%. The strengthening of the dollar versus the pound and the euro accounted for approximately $115,000 of this revenue variance and the remaining revenue variance was due to the reasons outlined below.
Software license revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 was $5.3 million compared with $5.4 million for the corresponding quarter in the prior year, a decrease of 1%. The decrease was primarily due to weaker governance, risk and compliance (GRC) license sales in the quarter in the EMEA markets due to economic uncertainty in these markets negatively impacting our normal sale cycles with customers becoming more cautious, procurement processes lengthening and general uncertainty creating significant challenges to close new business. This fall in revenues was partially offset by stronger maintenance revenues from existing customers in the US.
Service revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 was $4.6 million compared with $5.1 million for the corresponding quarter in the prior year, a decrease of 10%. The decrease was primarily due to a fall in revenues from our GRC business in the US and European markets which was partially offset by an increase in revenues from ASP services in our Healthcare business in the US.
Total gross margin for the second quarter ended July 31, 2009 was $7.0 million, a decrease of 1% from $7.1 million in the corresponding quarter in the prior year. Gross margin percentage increased to 71% in Q2 of the 2010 fiscal year compared to 68% in the same period of the prior year. The increase in margin percentage was due to a change in the revenue mix.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter ended July 31, 2009 were $6.6 million, a decrease of 18% from $8.0 million in the corresponding quarter in the prior year. The decrease in costs was primarily due to headcount reductions and lower salary costs. There has also been a reduction in discretionary expenditure in all areas of Trintech over the last year as the economic position worsened in the US and Europe. The strengthening of the dollar versus the pound and the euro accounted for approximately $246,000 of this operating cost reduction compared to Q2 in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA operating expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 were $5.9 million, a decrease of 17% compared to adjusted EBITDA operating expenses of $7.1 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.
Restructuring expenses were $19,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2009. These charges related primarily to employee termination costs as a result of the company re-aligning its cost base in the current difficult economic environment.
Adjusted EBITDA net income was $1.5 million for the second quarter ended July 31, 2009 compared to an adjusted EBITDA net income of $215,000 for the corresponding quarter in the prior year. This represented a 595% increase from Q2 in the prior year and reflects the company's lower operating cost base.
Trintech's balance sheet remains strong with cash balances of $17.8 million (including restricted cash of $170,000) as of July 31, 2009. Net cash generated from operations for the three months ended July 31 2009 was $826,000.
