Dendrite Reports Solid Second Quarter Results With Adjusted EPS of $0.17 per Diluted Share; GAAP EPS Was up 26% to $0.14 per Diluted Share; Dendrite Revenue, Excluding Synavant, Was up 8%.


Business Editors

MORRISTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2003

Dendrite International, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRTE) today announced solid second quarter GAAP diluted earnings of $0.14 per share, up 26%, as compared to earnings of $0.11 per share for the second quarter of 2002. GAAP diluted earnings per share includes approximately $0.02 in other charges, including amortization of definite lived intangibles arising from acquisitions and foreign tax valuation adjustments.

On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.17, excluding other charges. This represents approximately $0.15 in earnings per diluted share from the former Dendrite businesses and approximately $0.02 in per share earnings from Synavant, which was acquired by the Company on June 16, 2003.

"We are pleased with Dendrite's second quarter accomplishments," said Dendrite Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Bailye. "The Company reported solid revenue and earnings in what is still an economically fragile pharmaceutical services market."

"During the second quarter, we also announced the completion of our acquisition of Synavant," added Bailye. "This acquisition is a critical step toward Dendrite becoming the leading global provider of information, software, and services to the sales and marketing divisions of life science companies. The Synavant acquisition enhances Dendrite's global market share, expands our customer base, and broadens our offering of customer solutions."

"As a result of this acquisition, we have embarked upon a 100-day integration plan," said Paul Zaffaroni, Dendrite's Chief Operating Officer. "We are in the process of closing 10 facilities around the world, eliminating approximately 300 redundant positions, and have identified approximately $30 million in annual savings above the reductions already implemented by Synavant. At this point we have already completed approximately 75% of the cost-savings actions and expect to have them fully implemented by year-end."

Second Quarter Results

Revenue for the quarter was $69.5 million, including $7.4 million of Synavant revenue and $62.1 million of revenue from the former Dendrite businesses, versus last year's second quarter revenue of $57.6 million. This reflects a 21% increase in total Company revenue, including 8% growth from the former Dendrite businesses. Year-to-date revenue for the Company was $129.2 million, up 12% from the $115.1 million reported for the same period last year. Dendrite's 2003 year-to-date revenue contribution, excluding Synavant, was $121.8 million, up 6% from the prior year.

License revenue for the second quarter of 2003 increased substantially to $2.8 million, up 19% over the prior year. The former Dendrite businesses contributed $2.7 million of total license revenue. On a year-to-date basis, license revenue, including Synavant's $0.1 million contribution, was $5.3 million, down 3% from the prior year period.

Service revenue for the second quarter of 2003 was $66.8 million, a 21% increase over the $55.3 million in service revenue generated for the second quarter of 2002. Service revenue contributions for the second quarter of 2003 include $59.4 million from the Dendrite operations and $7.3 million from Synavant. This represents a 7% year-over-year second quarter increase for the former Dendrite businesses, excluding Synavant. Year-to-date, service revenue was up 13% over the prior year. Excluding Synavant, Dendrite's year-to-date service revenue was up 6% over the prior year.

Gross margin
Gross Margin
1) A company's total sales revenue minus its cost of goods sold.

2) A company's total sales revenue minus cost of goods sold, divided by the total sales revenue, expressed as a percentage.

3) In the case of an adjustable-rate mortgage, the interest rate (expressed as a percentage) that is added on to the base index rate in order to establish the actual interest rate the borrower will pay on the loan.
 for the second quarter was $34.7 million, or 50.0% of revenue, versus $28.9 million, or 50.1%, in the prior year. In the second quarter of 2003, Synavant contributed $2.6 million in gross margin.

Dendrite's second quarter 2003 gross margin for the former Dendrite businesses was $32.3 million, or a very strong 52.1% of revenue. Year-to-date gross margin for 2003, including Synavant and other charges, was $64.6 million, or 50.0% of revenue, versus the prior year-to-date gross margin of $56.1 million, or 48.8% of revenue.

The Company generated strong second quarter operating income of $10.5 million, or a robust 15.2% of revenue, versus $6.9 million, or 12.0% of revenue for the same period last year. Operating income as a percent of revenue was 16.1% for the former Dendrite businesses. Synavant contributed approximately $1.1 million in operating income in the second quarter of 2003. On a year-to-date GAAP basis, operating income of $17.5 million was recorded for the first half of 2003 versus $12.1 million for the first half of 2002.

Income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 were 46% and 36%, respectively. The tax rate for 2003 was impacted by two events. First, the Dendrite effective tax rate had increased from 36% to 40% during the third quarter of 2002 as a result of a change in New Jersey tax laws. Second, in the second quarter of 2003, in connection with the integration of Synavant, the Company recognized foreign tax valuation adjustments, which effectively increased the Company's tax rate from 40% to 46% for the period. Going forward, the Company expects the normalized effective income tax rate to approximate 40%.

Key Operating Statistics

The Company ended the second quarter with $23.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. This reduction from the December 31, 2002 balance of $68.3 million primarily reflects a $51.7 reduction for costs associated with the acquisition of Synavant. The Company reported net cash from operations of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. However, this included approximately $16 million for the payment of Synavant liabilities. Excluding this working capital outlay for Synavant, the Company's net cash from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 would have approximated $24 million. This compares with net cash from operations of $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding (DSO) for the former Dendrite businesses, excluding the impact of Synavant, improved to 61 days from 62 days last quarter. Including Synavant, DSO was 94 days on an as-reported basis. However, this calculation includes the total Synavant accounts receivable balance, but only 11 business days of Synavant revenue.

Recent Highlights

Dendrite's new business growth was derived from sales successes in many aspects of its business. Highlights included:

-- Signing 31 customer contracts across North America, Europe,

and Asia/Pacific Rim, including Australia and Japan

-- Securing business with 9 new customers in the United States,

United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, China, and Japan

-- Adding nearly 2,350 additional SFA user licenses through

business with new customers and expanded business with

existing customers

-- Completing our strategic acquisition of Synavant, a critical

step toward becoming one of the most comprehensive

information, software, and services company for the global

pharmaceutical industry

-- Signing a comprehensive, multi-year services contract with one

of our largest clients, one of the world's leading

pharmaceutical companies

-- Continuing strong growth in the Japanese market through the

launch of our new j-centre(TM) solution suite of applications

for home office (headquarters-based) personnel, and adoption

of its new j-centreSYNERGY(TM) communication solution by a

leading Japanese drug manufacturer (Daiichi Pharmaceutical

Co., Ltd.) and a top wholesaler (Astem K.K)

Outlook

"As we enter the third quarter, we are optimistic about the opportunities that exist for our Dendrite stand-alone businesses, which will be enhanced by our recent acquisition of Synavant," said Chief Financial Officer Kathleen Donovan. "We believe that combined revenue for the second half of the year will be in the range of $190 to $195 million, including Synavant, with a slightly stronger fourth quarter as our combined sales force gains momentum and as Synavant completes a major rollout for a large customer."

"Based upon achieving this targeted revenue, we anticipate this to yield adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.32 to $0.34 for the second half of 2003," added Donovan. Adjusted earnings per share exclude approximately $0.03 per share for the amortization of acquisition intangibles and approximately $0.03 to $0.04 per share for integration costs. GAAP earnings per share for the same period are expected to be in the range of $0.26 to $0.27.

Regarding the Company's cash balances, Donovan commented, "We expect our cash balance to decline by $5 to $10 million in the third quarter as we continue to pay severance and facility wind-down costs. However, we are targeting to build our cash balances back to approximately $50 million within 20 months of the Synavant acquisition."

While not giving guidance for 2004, the Company did indicate that Synavant should contribute approximately $110 million to 2004 revenue and be approximately $0.12 to $0.14 accretive to earnings per share on an adjusted basis excluding the impact of amortization of acquisition intangibles. The amortization of acquisition intangibles would reduce this number by approximately $0.05 per share, to approximately $0.07 to $0.09 per diluted share on a GAAP basis.

The Company can give no assurance that such expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct. The Company does not intend to update such outlook other than in connection with regularly scheduled earnings releases.
