Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation This presentation includes non-GAAP information: Operating Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Non-GAAP EPS. ACI is presenting these non-GAAP guidance measures to provide more transparency to its earnings, focusing on operations before selected non-cash items, operating free cash flow. We believe that providing earnings per share on an adjusted non-GAAP basis is useful to our investors as an operating measure because it allows investors to more accurately compare our ongoing performance from period to period. However, earnings per share on an adjusted non-GAAP basis is limited because it excludes expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions and non-cash stock based compensation. ACI is also presenting operating free cash flow, which is defined by our net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for one-time items, minus capital expenditures. We utilize this non-GAAP financial measure, and believe it is useful to investors, as an indicator of cash flow available for debt repayment and other investing activities, such as capital investments and acquisitions. We utilize operating free cash flow as a further indicator of operating performance and for planning investing activities. A limitation of operating free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. This measure also does not exclude mandatory debt service obligations and therefore does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP Financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, loss from operations and net loss per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share follows. Due to the forward-looking nature of free operating cash flows and earnings per share on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis for future periods, information to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time as the Company is unable to forecast any special items for future periods.

Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Generally, forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may include words or phrases such as the Company “believes,” “ will,” “expects,” “looks forward to,” and words and phrases of similar impact. The forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the: Company’s expectations with respect to services growth opportunities; Company’s assumptions with respect to calendar year guidance; Company’s revenues, earnings per share, adjusted earnings per share, operating free cash flow, and backlog estimates for calendar year 2007; Company’s business model consisting of revenue, backlog and earnings growth and strong cash flow and a leverageable balance sheet; Company’s expectation with respect to product revenue mix overtime, calendar year 2010 estimated product revenue mix and estimated on-demand revenue; and Company’s expectations with respect to its effective tax rate. Any or all of the forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by the judgments and estimates underlying such assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many of these factors will be important in determining the Company’s actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation. All of the foregoing forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the risk factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For a detailed discussion of these risk factors, parties that are relying on the forward-looking statements should review the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Form 10-K filed on May 11, 2007, the Company’s Forms 10-Q filed on June 29, 2007, August 10, 2007 and the Company’s Form 10-Q filed on September 25, 2007 and specifically the section entitled “Factors That May Affect the Company's Future Results or the Market Price of the Company's Common Stock.”

 


GRAPHIC

Forward-Looking Statements (continued) The risks identified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include: Risks associated with the restatement of the Company’s financial statements; Risks associated with not having current financial information available one result of which is that the Company will be limited in its ability to register its securities for offer and sale until the Company is deemed a current filer with the SEC; Risks associated with the delays in filing its periodic reports, including the need to obtain additional extensions from lenders in the future in order to comply with the financial reporting requirements of the Company’s bank debt, which failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, liquidity and financial conditions; Risks inherent in making an estimate of the Company’s backlogs which many not be accurate and may not generate the predicted revenue; Risks associated with tax positions taken by the Company which require substantial judgment and with which taxing authorities may not agree Risks associated with the Company’s performance which could be materially adversely affected by a general economic downturn or lessening demand in the software sector; Risks associated with the complexity of the Company’s software products; Risks associated with consolidation in the financial services industry which may adversely impact the number of customers and the Company’s revenues in the future; Risks associated with the Company’s stock price which may be volatile; Risks associated with conducting international operations; Risks regarding the Company’s newly introduced BASE24-eps product which may prove to be unsuccessful in the marketplace; Risks associated with the Company’s future profitability which depends on demand for its products; lower demand in the future could adversely affect the Company’s business; Risks associated with the Company’s software products which may contain undetected errors or other defects, which could damage its reputation with customers, decrease profitability, and expose the Company to liability; Risks associated with future acquisitions and investments which could materially adversely affect the Company; Risks associated with the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property and technology and that the Company may be subject to increasing litigation over its intellectual property rights; Risks associated with litigation that could materially adversely affect the Company’s business financial condition and/or results of operations; Risks associated with new accounting standards or revised interpretations or guidance regarding existing standards; and Risks associated with the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 


GRAPHIC

Forward-Looking Statements (continued) Backlog Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates require substantial judgment and are based on a number of assumptions, including management’s current assessment of the customer contracts that exist as of the date the estimates are made, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals, to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. A number of factors could result in actual revenues being less than the amounts reflected in backlog. Our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in their industries or geographic locations, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts. Actual renewal rates and amounts may differ from historical experiences used to estimate backlog amounts. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog will actually generate the specified revenues or that that the actual revenues will be generated within a 12-month or 60-month period. Additionally, because backlog estimates are operating metrics, the estimates are not subject to the same level of internal review or controls as a GAAP financial measure.
