Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 29, 2009, Openwave Systems Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The information in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and \) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

 

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On October 29, 2009, Openwave Systems Inc. committed to a restructuring plan to consolidate the Company’s resources, primarily in development, and improve operating efficiencies (the “Restructuring Plan”). The Restructuring Plan contemplates an approximate 5% reduction in workforce, which will be partially offset by additional headcount added at the Company’s remaining corporate offices. The Company expects to incur approximately $2.3 million in restructuring and related charges associated with this restructuring plan during the six months ending March 31, 2010. Included in the restructuring and related charges are (i) approximately $1.0 million related to the closure of a leased facility (ii) approximately $0.3 million related to accelerated depreciation of tenant improvements at the site selected for closure; and (iii) approximately $1.0 million related to employee severance arrangements for certain employees impacted by the Restructuring Plan.

The Company expects to complete the activities related to the Restructuring Plan by March 31, 2010. The associated charges are expected to be recorded in the Company’s second and third quarter results for fiscal year 2010. However, this estimate may change depending on actual sublease activity over the next several months.

The estimated pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $2.0 million represent the Company’s estimate of future cash outlays for employee termination benefits and facility exit costs. The estimated charges of $0.3 million associated with accelerated depreciation represent non-cash charges. The activities related to the Restructuring Plan are expected to result in negligible annual costs savings.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, regarding the Company’s cost reduction plans, including the anticipated costs and timing of such plans. A number of important factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including problems or delays in implementing the cost reduction plans, delays in subleasing the closed site, economic conditions and other factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 9, 2009, under the item “Risk Factors”. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

OPENWAVE REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS

REDWOOD CITY, CA – October 29, 2009 – Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), one of the world’s leading software innovators enabling revenue-generating personalized services which converge the mobile and broadband experience, today announced that revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $49.8 million, compared with $47.9 million in the prior quarter ended June 30, 2009 and $51.0 million in the September quarter in the preceding fiscal year. Bookings for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $47.3 million. The company ended the quarter with $121.6 million in cash and investments.

“The data tsunamis we have long talked about are rolling in and carriers are looking to Openwave for leadership and as a result we are seeing increasing demand for our mobile Internet products,” said Ken Denman, CEO of Openwave. “In what is traditionally a seasonally weaker quarter for sales activity, we saw a strong bookings level. We believe Openwave entered the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as a stable, efficient company and that our healthy pipeline will lead to future bookings and ultimately return Openwave to growth.”

On a GAAP basis, net income for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $990,000, or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.04 per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $10.5 million, or $0.13 per share, in the September quarter in the preceding year.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $380,000, or $0.00 per share, compared with net loss of $278,000 or $0.00 per share, in the prior quarter and net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.01 per share, during the September quarter of the prior year. Non-GAAP net loss excludes discontinued operations, amortization of intangibles and other acquisition-related costs, stock-based compensation, professional fees associated with certain unusual events, impairments, restructuring and other costs.

A reconciliation between net income (loss) on a GAAP basis and a non-GAAP basis is provided below in a table immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-GAAP Measure

The company’s stated results include the non-GAAP measures, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that generally are non-recurring events, such as costs associated with the stock option lawsuit. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures exclude other items that are non-cash items that many other companies exclude, in order to compare Openwave with other companies, such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related costs, and other expenses. These non-GAAP measures also exclude items which management does not consider to evaluate Openwave’s on-going business, such as restructuring costs and discontinued operations. Openwave considers non-GAAP net loss to be an important measure because it provides a useful measure of the operational performance of Openwave and is used by Openwave’s management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the financial performance of a company. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding Openwave’s operating results. These non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The statements in this press release in Mr. Denman’s quote with respect to future events or expectations, including the belief that the company’s pipeline will lead to future bookings and ultimately return Openwave to growth, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1943 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. These forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Notwithstanding changes that may occur with respect to matters relating to any forward looking statements, Openwave assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements included in this press release.
