Gartner Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2009

Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT), the leading provider of research and analysis on the global information technology industry, today reported results for second quarter 2009. In addition, the Company reiterated its financial outlook for full year 2009.

EPS from continuing operations were $0.18, net income was $17.2 million, and Normalized EBITDA was $44.0 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a discussion of Normalized EBITDA.

Total revenue for second quarter 2009 was $270.0 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, total revenue decreased 16% year-over-year, principally due to lower revenues from the Company’s Events and Consulting segments. Revenue from the Company’s Research segment declined 1% year-over-year, excluding the impact of foreign exchange.

Gene Hall, Gartner's chief executive officer, commented, "During the second quarter of 2009, our businesses performed in-line with our expectations. More importantly, many of our key metrics showed sequential improvement. As compared to the first quarter, we increased new business in Research, added significantly more new client enterprises, improved salesforce productivity and saw improvement in the trends that drive wallet retention. These results reflect a stabilizing of the sales environment, the success of our initiatives to improve operational effectiveness and the tremendous value that we provide to IT professionals. Based on these trends, we expect contract value to grow sequentially in the second half of the year, primarily in the fourth quarter, and we expect to quickly resume revenue and earnings growth once global economic activity returns to more normal levels.”

Business Segment Highlights

Research

Revenue for second quarter 2009 was $183.9 million, down 1% year-over-year excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Gross contribution margin improved approximately 2 percentage points year-over-year to 65%.

Contract value was $736.0 million at June 30, 2009. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, contract value decreased 3% year-over year.

Client and wallet retention rates for second quarter 2009 were 77% and 86%. Wallet retention excludes the impact of foreign exchange.

Consulting

As previously communicated, the Company entered 2009 and the second quarter with lower Consulting backlog. As a result, revenue for second quarter 2009 was $69.3 million, down 21% year-over-year excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Gross contribution margin was 40%.

Second quarter 2009 utilization was 68% and billable headcount was 459. Backlog was $81.7 million at June 30, 2009.

Events

As part of its previously announced plan to reduce the number of events in 2009 versus 2008, the Company held only 14 events in second quarter 2009 versus 25 in second quarter 2008. This included the elimination of two large Spring Symposium events. These changes negatively impacted year-over-year revenue comparisons for the quarter.

Revenue for the quarter was $16.7 million, down 61% year-over-year excluding the impact of foreign exchange. The 14 events held attracted 5,108 attendees. Gross contribution margin was 33%.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

Gartner generated cash from operations of $47.7 million during second quarter 2009. Capital expenditures were $3.9 million.

During the first half of 2009, the Company deployed its cash principally to repay almost $100 million in debt. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had total debt of $316.5 million and cash of $97.0 million.

Financial Outlook for 2009

Based on its first half 2009 results and current business trends, Gartner reiterated its financial outlook for full year 2009. The Company continues to project 2009 revenue by segment and total revenue as follows. The year-over-year change is presented both as reported and excluding the impact of foreign exchange (FX Neutral):
($ in millions) 2009 Projected Revenue % Change as Reported % Change FX Neutral

Research(1)
$ 737 – 757 (6%) – (3%) (2%) – 1%
Consulting 265 – 295 (24%) – (15%) (21%) – (12%)

(35%) – (28%)
(33%) – (26%)
Total Revenue $ 1,100 – 1,160 (14%) – (9%) (10%) – (6%)


(1)


Projected research revenue includes the revenue of the Company’s “Other” category, which was eliminated in first quarter 2009. For 2008, reported “Other” revenue was $8.3 million.

Based on this revenue outlook, Gartner continues to target full year 2009 Normalized EBITDA of $170 to $200 million, EPS from continuing operations of $0.66 to $0.87, cash flow from operations of $100 to $125 million and capital expenditures of $15 to $20 million. Normalized EBITDA excludes a projected $26 to $28 million of pre-tax expense related to SFAS 123(R).

Conference Call Information

Gartner has scheduled a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET today, Tuesday, August 4, 2009, to discuss the Company's financial results. The conference call will be available via the Internet by accessing the Company's web site at http://investor.gartner.com. A replay of the webcast will be available for 90 days following the call.

Gartner Survey of 900 CIOs Shows 42 Percent of Respondents Decreased Their IT Budgets in First Quarter of 2009

Gartner Survey of 900 CIOs Shows 42 Percent of Respondents Decreased Their IT Budgets in First Quarter of 2009

In the first quarter of 2009, CIOs experienced significant IT budget revisions as executives gained a greater understanding and solidified plans for addressing the global financial crisis, according to a worldwide survey of 900 CIOs by Gartner Executive Programs (EXP).

The survey was conducted from March 1 to April 30 2009 and sought to gauge the potential impact of macroeconomic concerns on IT budgets. These CIOs encompass more than $77 billion in revised IT spending. Forty-six percent of respondents said that their 2009 IT budget had changed since it was finalized. The results of this survey were compared with the results of the Gartner EXP 2009 CIO Survey, conducted from September to December 2008, which had more than 1,500 responses.

CIOs in the original survey reported a flat budget with a minor increase of 0.16 percent. CIOs responding to the survey in the first quarter now report a weighted average decline of 4.7 percent. More than 90 percent of firms changing their budgets made a reduction in the first quarter, with the average reduction being 7.2 percent. Fifty-four percent of respondents reported no change in their IT budget, with the remaining 4 percent reporting an increase in their IT budget.

“CIOs reported that renegotiating vendor contracts and head count reductions were the primary focus areas for accommodating budget reductions,” said Mark McDonald, group vice president and head of research for Gartner EXP. “CIOs report shifting more work to in-house resources and delaying capital expenditures more than reducing IT project investments.”

First quarter 2009 IT budget reductions were reported across the board based on both size and geography of the organization. CIOs in healthcare-related industries reported an average budget increase of 2.2 percent, but CIOs in all other major industries reported a decline in the first quarter of 2009. The largest decline was in professional services at -10 percent, followed by telecommunications and high tech at -10 percent, manufacturing at -8 percent, utilities at -4 percent and financial services at -4 percent.

CIOs recognize the potential for further cuts in 2009, but most see that as unlikely. The percentage of CIOs with a contingency plan for the remainder of 2009 has more than doubled compared with 2008. CIOs with additional contingency plans for 2009 are planning for the potential of renewed IT spending, as well as additional reductions. While 44 percent of CIOs do not believe they will need to tap into their contingency plans, those that do believe they will do so during the next six months.

The survey found that CIOs expect the economy to recover between the first and third quarter of 2010. CIOs plan to increase IT investment projects and workforce levels as their first investments in such a recovery. Software, hardware and infrastructure investments are also high on the CIO’s agenda on the path to economic recovery.

“Executives making plans in the fourth quarter of 2008 faced an uncertain future as the global financial crisis unfolded,” Mr. McDonald said. “Based on CIO contingency plans, they are now better prepared for future economic challenges. However, most CIOs do not see immediately implementing those plans. This supports a position that the first quarter budget adjustments reflect firm plans for the remainder of 2009.”

SaaS HR Vendor Lands Global Deal with Siemens

– Chris Kanaracus, IDG News Service
http://www.cio.com/article/494534/SaaS_HR_Vendor_Lands_Global_Deal_with_Siemens

June 08, 2009
SuccessFactors, maker of SaaS (software as a service) applications for employee performance and talent management, announced Monday that it has landed a global agreement with Siemens, in another sign of the on-demand model's growing acceptance by enterprises.

The San Mateo, California, vendor's software will be rolled out to 420,000 users in 80 countries, and in 20 languages, according to SuccessFactors.

In a statement, Siemens said it went with the vendor in order to standardize on a single platform and separate "strategic execution and management" from its transactional HR systems. Siemens added that it is pursuing a cloud computing strategy in general, believing it can lower IT costs and speed up processes.

"Siemens is a traditional SAP house. For their team to make a big bet on SuccessFactors represents the new type of thinking present among many CIOs and enterprises today," Forrester Research analyst Ray Wang said in an e-mail. "Their software vendors may not be innovating fast enough to keep up with the enterprise's requirements."

SuccessFactors declined to release the exact price tag on the deal, but said no single customer represents more than 5 percent of its revenue, which was US$35.2 million in the first quarter, a 50 percent increase over the year prior. The vendor claims to have 2,700 customers and 4.7 million end-users.

While companies worldwide are reining in IT spending as the global recession persists, SuccessFactors occupies an opportune niche, said Paul Albright, chief marketing officer. "CEOs and CFOs are looking to come out of the economic downturn much faster, with more focus and vigor," he said.

Therefore, companies are investing in software that helps set employee goals and gets top performers "in a position to have the biggest impact," he said.

But industry observers are predicting big growth for SaaS applications overall. The global SaaS market will reach $8 billion this year, up from $6.6 billion in 2008, and it will skyrocket to $16 billion by 2013, according to a recent Gartner report.

SaaS revenue projections, mega trends in 2009

"Software as a service (SaaS) is forecast to reach $8 billion in 2009, a 21.9 percent increase from 2008 revenue of $6.6 billion, according to a recent report from Gartner, Inc., and will experience a 19.4 percent compound annual growth rate through 2013. In a challenging economy, SaaS represents a leaner alternative, but it will continue to change and evolve within Platform as a Service (PaaS) strategies that companies like Microsoft and IBM are developing. These strategies will invite developers and integrate SaaS with their software. And there may be a Cloud on the horizon."

Customer Communities

Gartner predicts that CRM of the future will be about creating online communities of customers via emerging social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and similar Web sites.

The economic downturn provides a great opportunity to begin experimenting in this area, and Gartner advises companies to set up accounts on the various Web sites and learn what they do and don't do, and how users interact.

Finland's Nokia Corp. (NOK1V.HE) expects its new flagship N97 phone to generate significant sales and strengthen its brand when it reaches consumers next month, the handset maker's Swedish country manager Johan Eidhagen said in an interview with Dow Jones Newswires Monday.

"It will be incredibly important both for marketing and for generating sales," he said.

Nokia, the world's largest maker of mobile phones, announced the N97 in December 2008 and will start selling the device on a number of markets including the Nordic countries in June. Eidhagen said the phone, which will cost around EUR550 before taxes and subsidies, is aimed at a relatively wide target group but gave no sales targets.

Klas Strom, head of portfolio management at Nokia Scandinavia, said its key advantages are that users can personalize the start screen, and get more customized services through the use of applications. The combined touch screen and QWERTY keyboard should also appeal to many consumers, he told Dow Jones Newswires.

Last week, research firm Gartner Inc. (IT) said Nokia's first-quarter market share fell to 36.2% from 39.1% a year earlier amid a general decline in global handset sales, although sales of smartphones such as Apple Inc's (AAPL) iPhone and Nokia's 5800 bucked the declining trend.

Analyst Jan Dworsky at Handelsbanken said the N97 should boost Nokia's profitability, but that it's unlikely to improve the handset vendor's market share in terms of volumes since its price, although normal for a high-end phone, is rather high.

Johan Eidhagen said, however, that many of the N97's functions will become available also with cheaper phones at a later stage, so this may improve the company's market share further on.

At 0741 GMT Tuesday, shares in Nokia were down 1.4% at EUR10.65, against a 1.8% drop in the broader market in Helsinki.

STOCKHOLM -(Dow Jones)- Smartphone growth continued in the first quarter, proving a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy picture as global handset sales fell at a record pace, research firm Gartner Inc. (IT) said Wednesday.

Smartphones, such as Apple Inc's (AAPL) iPhone and a growing number of touchscreen devices from other manufacturers, have defied the downturn, aided by growth in applications as they broaden their reach into both the mid-tier and high-tier segments.

Still, the rapid downturn in consumer spending has hammered the wider market as customers delay upgrades and hold off buying new phones.

"There were some signs of a recovery in markets such as North America and China, but overall sales in the first quarter of 2009 registered the biggest quarter-on-quarter contraction since Gartner began monitoring the market on a quarterly basis in 2001," Gartner mobile device research director Carolina Milanesi said.

"We really don't see demand stabilizing before the second half of 2010," Milanesi told Dow Jones Newswires, with the global handset market returning to growth of 5%-6% in 2010.

First quarter sales fell 14.5% from the fourth quarter 2008, Gartner said, while the 9.4% fall on year, to 269 million, was also the sharpest on record.

"Device vendors will focus increasingly on smartphones, improved user interfaces and services to differentiate themselves and fuel consumer demand," Milanesi said.

Smartphone sales increased 12.7% to 36 million units, and represented 13.5% of all mobile device sales in the first quarter 2009, up from 11% in the first quarter of 2008, Gartner said.

"Making sure you have a strong smartphone portfolio is going to be very important for the vendors, and that is what is going to make a lot of the difference," Milanesi said.

"Much of the smartphone growth during the first quarter of 2009 was driven by touchscreen products, both in mid-tier and high-end devices," said Roberta Cozza, principal analyst at Gartner.

Nokia Corp. (NOK) maintained its leading position overall, although its market share dropped to 36.2% from 39.1% a year earlier. Overall sales fell and the average selling price of its phones declined 18% from a year earlier, Gartner said. However, sales of Nokia smartphones grew after it introduced its 5800 device into more regions.

Nokia started shipping its 5800 touch screen smartphone at the end of 2008.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd's (SSNHY) market share increased 4.7 percentage points to 19.1% and it returned to double-digit profitability due to a good product mix.

"The announcement of its first Android-based product, the i7500, will help Samsung in a highly competitive second half of 2009," Gartner said.

LG Electronics Inc's (066570.SE) market share increased to 9.9% from 8%. The company benefited from a very strong portfolio of touchscreen, messaging and imaging devices, said Gartner.

Motorola Inc's (MOT) market share fell to 6.2% from 10.2%. The company "continued to experience significant difficulties even in its home market," Gartner said.

Sony Ericsson's (ERIC, SNE) market share fell to 5.4% from 7.5%, partly due to a weak product portfolio, said Gartner.

Sensitive Military Data “In the Wild”

Author: C. Edward Brice Date: Tuesday, January 27th
Categories: Data Protection | Featured PostsToday, another incident involving sensitive military data was made known when a New Zealander bought an MP3 player at a thrift store. On the MP3 player were names and personal details of US soldiers, such as social security numbers and files containing equipment locations and schedules.


This is another example of how even our military cannot keep pace with the ubiquity of mobile platforms and management of data as well as individuals who could potentially download sensitive information onto these devices without any security in place. Australia, UK, Germany, Spain, NATO, etc., this story is as scary as it gets for the military. I’m sure that the military has a written policy in place that states that users are not to download data to unapproved removable media. The challenge is the ability of today’s government and commercial organizations to enforce these policies.

This story serves as a wake call not only to world governments but to every business that views its confidential information as valuable and confidential. What can be done? Here are three ideas:

1. Wake up and accept that there are risks associated with mobile devices, but understand that you cannot stop everyone from using them, as your productivity per employee would go down. Instead, adopt and implement controls and policies to enable the use of these devices securely.

2. Make yourself aware of the solutions that are available - from device and data protection, to automatic data encryption and group device policy management. This technology enables you to mange by exception which is the only scalable way to address this risk in today’s IT environments.

3. Encrypt your data flows. You must encrypt your data flows on and off your endpoints, by group, or even by individual. Simple encryption alone can reduce your risk overnight.

4. Realize that technology alone cannot solve this problem. It’s about marrying data protection technology, people and processes (policies). The best option is to embark on education and awareness programs for your users to inform them of the critical nature of data storage and transfer. Make your employees aware of the risk but ways they can securely use this.

Would love to hear how you’re dealing with the mobile device challenge. Share your thoughts and ideas.

Exobox: "new automated data leak detection solution"

Eagle and Mozy all this talk about DLD peaked my interest. I also can't find any information on the web. Other than Exobox's May 13th PR, which I went back and reread a couple of times.

The context is in this paragraph:

"Exobox is using the results of its research as the basis for a new automated data leak detection solution designed to help companies and organizations protect data and mitigate risks associated with the unauthorized disclosure of data and information that compromises market reputation, strategic advantage, credit exposure, and governance compliance."

Then the PR gives examples of bad stuff it's found floating around in cyber space. This is an interesting concept, simple because there's no information I find of any company that has this technology available, perhaps someone else can try finding something. Not only is it proactive technology it's reactive. Sounds like a grass-root concept to me. Any thoughts?
