CDC Software Reaffirms 2010 Guidance and Continues Share Repurchase Plan

CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS), a global provider of hybrid enterprise software solutions and services, announced today, based on preliminary financial estimates and projections, as well as the recent sales momentum the company has seen which include two recent seven figure sales deals, the company reaffirms its guidance provided on July 29, 2010. CDC Software expects 2010 Non-GAAP earnings per share(a) to be in a range of $1.02 to $1.08 per share, and 2010 Non-GAAP revenue(a) to be in the range of $215 million to $225 million.

These 2010 estimates are supported by the company’s total contracted backlog (TCB) of over $140 million. CDC Software believes that TCB provides improved visibility into revenue performance for future periods.

In addition, the company is providing an update on its share buyback program. Since September 2009, the company, management and certain affiliates of the company have purchased an aggregate total amount of approximately 788,018 shares at an average price of $9.34 per share. Of that total, the company has purchased 737,299 shares and management, including the CEO, has purchased 50,719 shares. The company and its CEO continue to repurchase its shares in the open market through a 10b5-1 trading plan.

“We believe the recent sell-off in CDC Software shares is unwarranted, and in fact, provides an opportunity for long-term investors, and that is why we are demonstrating our commitment through our repurchases,” said Peter Yip, CEO of CDC Software. “We see our third quarter progressing well, with our recent sales traction, and we are very pleased on our strong second half pipeline totaling more than $74 million. In addition, we expect to see an improvement in our operating cash flow in the second half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2010. With our solid financial foundation and our confidence in our long-term prospects and hybrid enterprise software strategy, we believe CDC Software represents a compelling investment opportunity.”

(a) Adjusted Financial Measures

This press release includes Non-GAAP earnings per share and Non-GAAP revenue, which are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"). We believe that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not alternatives for measures such as revenue and earnings per share prepared under GAAP. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures may also be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Investors should be aware that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures have inherent limitations, including their variance from certain of the financial measurement principals underlying GAAP, should not be considered as a replacement for GAAP performance measures, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments determined in accordance with GAAP. Please see reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP which are included in our earnings press release for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
