Versant Announces Record Quarterly Net Income of $2.1 Million
Redwood City, California / USA
2007/12/04

Quarterly revenues grow 21% over last year / Record diluted net income per share of $2.06 for fiscal year 2007Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.

For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $5.6 million from its continuing operations, compared to $4.6 million for the comparable period last year, representing an increase of approximately 21%. This increase was driven primarily by license revenues which grew by 45% from $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 to $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. One telecom customer accounted for approximately 21% of total revenues (and approximately 28% of license revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2007.


Net income for the quarter was a record $2.1 million and diluted net income per share was $0.56, compared to net income of $1.4 million and diluted net income per share of $0.38 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.


Versant also reported a strong increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.6 million during the quarter, resulting in a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $19.1 million as of October 31, 2007. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was higher than net income for the quarter, primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable as a result of a reduction in days sales outstanding.


Revenues from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 was approximately $21.2 million compared to approximately $16.7 million for fiscal 2006, an increase of approximately 26%. Net income for the 2007 fiscal year was $7.6 million, an increase of 77% over net income of $4.3 million in fiscal 2006 and diluted net income per share for fiscal 2007 was $2.06, compared to diluted net income per share of $1.20 in fiscal 2006.


“This was another quarter of strong license revenue growth and earnings for Versant. For fiscal 2007, our license revenues increased by 50% compared to fiscal 2006, thereby driving our net income to a record level of $7.6 million,” said Jochen Witte, Versant’s CEO.


For fiscal 2008 the Company currently estimates total year revenues of approximately $24 million, or an approximate 13% increase from fiscal 2007. The Company also believes that quarterly revenues during fiscal 2008 may fluctuate as a result of there being a limited number of revenue transactions in the sales pipeline at any given point in time, and the difficulty in accurately assessing when such transactions may actually close. The Company currently estimates net income of approximately $9.5 million for fiscal 2008, resulting in estimated diluted net income per share of approximately $2.50 for fiscal 2008, based on the Company’s current capitalization. These estimates are based on the Company’s current outlook and assessment of fiscal 2008.

Forward Looking Statements Involve Risks and Uncertainties
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. These forward-looking statements include the statements in this press release regarding our estimated revenue growth, estimated net income and estimated diluted net income per share for fiscal year 2008 and our statements regarding potential fluctuations in our quarterly revenues in fiscal year 2008. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of Versant’s future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties. There are many important factors and risks that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: our inability to achieve revenue expectations or projected net income levels as a result of delays in the sales cycle for our products and services or failures to close key sales transactions; changing market demands or perceptions of our products and technologies; failure to develop new customers; the fact that our results of operations are highly dependent on sales of our Versant Object Database product; the performance of our resellers; legal and potential other costs and payments, such as settlements, associated with a pending litigation in which one of our customers is seeking indemnification from the Company for alleged infringement of intellectual property rights asserted by a third party; the possibility that existing value added resellers may not remain committed to our software or that their sales activity may not keep pace with their historical results; potential reductions in the prices we charge for our products and services due to competitive conditions; potential changes in economic conditions, including potentially higher costs of capital that may disincent certain customers from making capital purchase decisions for products and services such as those offered by Versant; and the Company’s ability to successfully manage its costs and operations and maintain adequate working capital. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made only as of the date of this press release, and the Company assumes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement.

[Depotmanager04]

Endingen (aktiencheck.de AG) - Die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" raten, bei der Aktie von Versant (ISIN US9252843092/ WKN A0F69L) einen Fuß in die Tür zu stellen.
Versant sei ein führender Anbieter von spezieller Daten-Management-Software. In der letzten Woche habe die Gesellschaft sehr gute Zahlen für das vierte Quartal 2006/07 veröffentlicht. Demnach sei der Umsatz um 21% auf 5,6 Mio. USD ausgeweitet worden und der Nettogewinn je Aktie sei von 0,38 USD auf 0,56 USD geklettert. Damit habe Versant in 2006/07 insgesamt einen Umsatzanstieg von 26% auf 21,2 Mio. USD sowie einen Gewinnanstieg um 77% auf 2,06 USD je Aktie erzielt. Der Ausblick für das neu angelaufene Fiskaljahr 2007/08 sei positiv ausgefallen. So stelle die Versant-Geschäftsführung einen Umsatzanstieg auf 24 Mio. USD sowie einen Nettogewinn von rund 9,5 Mio. USD bzw. 2,50 USD je Aktie in Aussicht. Nach Einschätzung der Experten sei die Guidance bewusst konservativ gehalten worden. Trotz des jüngsten Kurssprungs von über 20% werde der Titel mit einem KGV von 10 auf Basis der diesjährigen Prognosen bewertet. Dem gegenüber stünden Wachstumsraten von mindestens 25%. Vergleichbare Unternehmen würden ein KGV von 20 und mehr aufweisen, auf Basis der nächstjährigen Gewinnschätzungen. Vor diesem Hintergrund würden die Experten in 2008 Kurse zwischen 50 USD und 60 USD für möglich halten. Die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" empfehlen, bei der Aktie von Versant einen Fuß in die Tür zu stellen. (Ausgabe 23 vom 10.12.2007) (11.12.2007/ac/a/a)

Na du Witzbold, da muß ich aber doch mal lachen, wieviel Energie du bei dieser Aktie in Selbstgespräche steckst. Gib es auf, das hat keinen Sinn. Lies lieber ein gutes Buch. Die Aktie wird ihren Weg auch ohne dein Gesabbel machen.

Ach übrigens; die von dir erwähnten paar Hundert Prozent habe ich schon hinter mir.

Versant Announces Record Quarterly Net Income of $2.6 Million
Redwood City, California / USA
2008/02/26

Quarterly revenues grow 22% over last year / Record quarterly diluted net income per share of $0.69
Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008.

For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $6.3 million from its continuing operations, compared to $5.2 million for the comparable period last year, representing an increase of approximately 22%. This increase was driven primarily by license revenues, which grew by approximately 25% from $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2008. Additionally, maintenance revenues for the first quarter of 2008 increased by 16% over maintenance revenues for the comparable quarter in 2007. One Asia Pacific telecommunications customer contributed approximately 23% of total revenues (and approximately 35% of license revenues) in the first quarter of 2008.


Net income for the quarter was a record $2.6 million and diluted net income per share was $0.69, compared to net income of $1.7 million and diluted net income per share of $0.47 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.


Versant also reported an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.2 million during the quarter, resulting in a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $21.3 million at January 31, 2008.


“Based on our solid license and moderate maintenance revenue growth, this quarter has provided Versant a good jump start for fiscal 2008. We are not prepared at this early stage of our fiscal year to increase our prior guidance regarding fiscal 2008, particularly given the business uncertainties arising from currently difficult general economic conditions”, said Jochen Witte, Versant’s CEO.

was soll man von dem Hin und her des Kurses halten?

[Sofakles]

scheint sich stabilisiert zu haben.
Nach unten halten 15 EURO.
Kann nur nach oben: langsam,stetig,

... oder mit News

[Sofakles]

Oh, bin ich Prophet ?

Heute auf über 28 Dollar hochgelaufen . Umsatz gesund, grade recht um noch weiter hochzulaufen . Vielleicht Short-Deckungen dabei - egal, noch schöner

Kurs stabil bis leicht steigend. Und dabei mit minimalsten Umsätzen, offenbar keinerlei Verkaufsdruck trotz des 20% Anstiegs vom Tal innerhalb 2 Wochen .

its for real, Mr Depotmanager, that we can feel comfortable again

[Depotmanager04]

es geht wohl nach Norden...

[Depotmanager04]

29 USD

[Depotmanager04]

schlechte Informationspolitik von Versant...man tappt im Dunkeln

[Depotmanager04]

[Sofakles]

30 Dollar ,
19 €
ist in der Tat beunruhigend wenn man nicht ganz genau weiss warum seine Aktien steigen

[Sofakles]

31 Dollar,
20 €

ist das jetzt der Schub vor dem Abheben ?

Was mir jedenfalls gefällt, daß die Marketcap sich deutlich über 100 mio Dollar etabliert. 200 Mio sollten in Sicht sein, die Grenze wo Gesellschaften für voll genommen wird. Von Investoren.
Geschäftspartnern wird ein solides Fundament auch behagen. Und Perspektive zum Wachstum durch eigene Akquisitationen eröffnet sich ebenso besser :-)
Da lässt man gern das KGV etwas wachsen

[Depotmanager04]

Hallo Soflakes...da gebe ich dir recht. Man weiß nicht warum es aufwärts geht. Was ist mit dieser Firma los? Keine großartigen Info´s. Wie sehen die Zukunftspäne aus? Wann werden Zahlen erwartet?

naja, also Quartalsberichte kommen ja immer wie direkt von Uhrwerk, also so ab 20.Mai erwartet diesmal.

Im Ernst: Übernahmen, ob fressen oder gefressen werden, könnten Thema sein... Appetitlichere Happen als VSNT gibts ja wohl kaum. Wo kannst du Cash und Gewinne so günstig dazukaufen? Dazu Technik und Kundenbase.

Guten Abend; jetzt weiß ich nicht ob Versant dahingehend führend im Markt ist oder / und ob es noch zahlreiche andere Firmen gibt. Ob sie übernommen werden oder sie übernehmen eine Firma, das kann ich nicht beurteilen. Für mich fehlt ganz einfach die expansion ansich und im Bezug auf das Personal. Wo operieren sie, gibt es gute Weiterentwicklungen....alles Fragen....die tun sich sehr schwer. Ich staune überhaupt, dass der Kurs so (relativ) hoch ist.

Noch einen schönen Feiertag-Abend.

Wenn man das alles wüsste wüsste man mehr. Obschon mancher Technikfreak über sein Know-how stolperte. Ein techn. interessantes Produkt garantiert noch lange keinen wirtschaftl. Erfolg.
VSNT ist kein Marktführer... das Segment müsste schon ultraklein sein bei 25 mio Jahresumsatz.
Der hohe Cashbestand ermöglicht die Idee von Zukäufen... aber eher denke ich an übernommen werden

[Depotmanager04]

Fällt heute die 20 € Marke???

[Sofakles]

31 Dollar,
20 €

hatte ich doch bereits am 30.4. notiert.
Gestern im späteren Handel wurde schon etwas hingelangt an NASDAQ,
sodaß es heute interessant zu werden verspricht

[Sofakles]

tja, das interessante erschöpft sich in sehr verhaltenem Handel.
Die Intraday Shortgeher an NASDAQ, die VSNT ja öfter begleiteten, halten sich offenbar auch zurück. Gutes Zeichen,denn die sollten Bären-Fallen zuvorderst erschnuppern
Das stimmt mich rein technisch optimistisch, und nix anderes weiß man ja nicht - max.2 Wochen bis zu Q2-Zahlen

[Depotmanager04]

Nicht schlecht der Kurs heute

[Depotmanager04]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.105.032 von Sofakles am 15.05.08 21:24:26

auf die Zahlen bin ich auch mal gespannt. Man hört ja sehr wenig von denen. Sollte sich mal ändern.

[Sofakles]

für 27.5. wurde der übliche Conference Call heute angekündigt.

Du kannst davon ausgehen daß es keine bösen Überraschungen geben wird, da wir kein Hinweis bekommen.
Und einzelne Aufträge zu vermelden, oder gar Zahlungseingänge in Q2, wär ja irgendwie popelig - Also Porsche macht das auch nicht anders soviel ich weiss

und nochwas Mr Depotmanager,
ich würde höflichst anregen wollen
daß Sie Antrag stellen den Titel dieses Threads ändern zu lassen!
Irgendwas seriöser anklingendes würde ich mir wünschen

[Depotmanager04]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.129.802 von Sofakles am 20.05.08 00:09:59

Hallo Sofakles... Ob es Überraschungen geben wird, dass weiß ich nicht; sei es negative oder positive. Vom Namen her finde ich es schon ok so; denn ich denke als Longer kann man sich hier wenigstens mit einer Verdopplung eindecken. Deshalb würden hier auch nicht mehr user vorbeischauen; wenn du das meinst.

[Sofakles]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.132.398 von Depotmanager04 am 20.05.08 12:47:31

also an wieviel-User-da-vorbeischauen hab ich noch nicht gedacht!
Aber daran, daß wenn doch mal jemand schaut, er mich ansprechen könnte ob des Titels! Dem möchte ich mich vorbeugend entkommen sehen. Schamgefühl also letztlich.

[Sofakles]

bemerkenswert ist ja übrigens
daß "mehrere 100%" automatisch immer die Richtung nach oben weisen, denn nach unten lässt sich das ja gar nicht nicht so machen - nach Adam Riese! Vordergründig betrachtet

Gabs gestern nun schon einen vorgezogenen ConferenceCall betreff Q2 oder wie sind die hohen Umsätze von heute zu erklären ?

[Depotmanager04]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.163.459 von Sofakles am 23.05.08 23:07:46

Mit den Umsätzen ist das so eine Sache. Ich frage mich natürlich auch, auf welcher Basis diese zustande kommen. Was auf der Telefonkonferenz besprochen wurde wird wohl niemand erfahren.

Mich nervt schon die INFO-Politik von Versant. Das kommt sehr wenig rüber. Sollte man dieses mal mit einer e-mail begegnen? Hier ist ein Englisch-Versierter gefragt.

[Sofakles]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.167.997 von Depotmanager04 am 25.05.08 19:10:32

mit einer Email begegnen ... gesagt, getan

[Sofakles]

Auf Email-Antwort wart ich noch.
Na schön, jetzt haben wir die zahlen schwarz auf weiss http://www.versant.com/en_US/news_events/pressreleases/press…

Ich vermag nichts fragwürdiges zu erkennen, das Schiff scheint weiter gut auf Kurs. Der neue Hinweis, daß 41% des Umsatzwachstums dem starken Euro zu verdanken sind, ist sehr seriös. Besagt aber nichts beunruhigendes,denn wer wird schon glauben,daß Ende des Jahres der Kurs wieder Region 1,25 sehen wird ? Und wenn schon übrigens - der Kurs in Euro würde uns ja sogar direkt daran profitieren lassen! Mehr als ausgleichend sicherlich, und allemal ok also.

Die Erwartung wird von vormals 24mio Umsatz auf 26mio hochgetaxt, die Gewinnerwartung von 9,5mio auf rund 10mio.

Erfreulich für mich besonders auch der Cash-Zuwachs von 4mio per Q2. D.h., daß hier nicht Papiergewinne ausgewiesen werden, also nicht etwa (unsichere)Ausstände mitgeschleppt werden zB.

[Depotmanager04]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.184.216 von Sofakles am 28.05.08 07:28:35

dann warten wir mal auf die Antworten...auch wenn wir die Frage/n nicht kennen..

Die Zahlen haben wir jetzt, ok. Aber wenn wir von 2 Mio Umsatzsteigerung 41 % abziehen, dann bleiben nur 1,18 Mio als vorraussichliche effektive Steigerung. Was mich interessiert sind auch die Operationsgebiete hinsichtlich der Aufträge...Wo? Wie hoch? Welche Firmen?

Vielleicht weiß ja jemand mehr darüber.

[Depotmanager04]

die Zahlen werden drüben bis jetzt noch positiv angenommen...weiter so...

[Depotmanager04]

Das sieht man gerne....

[Depotmanager04]

Vol drüben > 51.000

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.186.379 von Depotmanager04 am 28.05.08 12:21:01

Was mich interessiert sind auch die Operationsgebiete hinsichtlich der Aufträge...Wo? Wie hoch? Welche Firmen?
Wen du bei Versant die Steuer machst, dann wüsstest du vielleicht tatsächlich welche Kunden welche Umsätze wann machen
Ansonst wird alles gut ausgebreitet, kennst du zB das SEC-Filing vom 13.3.08-Quarterly Report ? Dort findest du Futter.

[Depotmanager04]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.192.095 von Sofakles am 28.05.08 23:58:00

das ist für mich sehr schwer zu lesen. Vielleicht kannst du ja mal eine deutsche Übersicht hineinstellen (mal vorsichtig gefragt)

Wieder schönes Vol heute drüben. 24900

[Sofakles]

lach* ...schön,daß du zumindest vorsichtig fragst

Versant Announces Settlement of Litigation
Redwood City, California / USA
2008/06/16
Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, announced today that it has settled a pending litigation with a prior customer. In this settled litigation the customer had sought indemnification from Versant for costs the customer incurred in defending a now-settled suit brought against it by a third party which alleged that a Versant product that was discontinued in 2004 infringed the third party’s intellectual property.

Under the terms of the settlement, Versant will make a cash settlement payment of $800,000 to the former customer for a full mutual release of claims. The $800,000 is in addition to a previous payment of $62,500 made to the customer pursuant to this claim. As a result of this settlement, Versant’s general and administrative expenses for its second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2008 will increase by approximately $363,000 above the reserve amount Versant previously established for this litigation, as reflected in Versant’s May 27, 2008 press release announcing its financial results for that quarter. The impact of this settlement on Versant’s financial results for its fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2008 as announced in its May 27, 2008 press release will be reflected in Versant’s report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2008 and will decrease Versant’s net income for the quarter to $2.0 million and reduce its basic and diluted net income per share for the quarter by $0.10 and $0.09, respectively.


Versant’s CFO, Jerry Wong, stated that “Although we believe this lawsuit was without merit, we also concluded that it was in Versant’s best interests to settle this legacy litigation now to put this matter behind us. Versant also wants to take this opportunity to reaffirm the guidance previously provided in our May 27, 2008 press release that we continue to currently anticipate Versant’s fiscal 2008 revenues to be approximately $26 million, its fiscal 2008 net income to be within a range of $9.9M to $10.3M and its diluted net income per share for fiscal 2008 to be in the range of $2.60 to $2.70.”

VSNT hatte bereits mehr als die Hälfte der Kosten des Verfahrens abgeschrieben. So verringert sich der Quartalsgewinn in erträglichem Ausmaß . Die Prognosen aufs Jahr werden beibehalten, dies am 17.6. mitgeteilt ,hört sich doch nicht schlecht an.

[Depotmanager04]

der Absturz überrascht mich auch!
Um den 19.6. gabs paar Insider-Verkäufe zuvermelden, sollte aber eigentlich nichts viel besagen.
ich warte noch auf Aktualisierung der institutionellen Anlegerliste,die ja per 31.3. recht gut aussah in ihrer Entwicklung
und die Entwicklung des Short-Interests zum 30.6. !

Aber im allgemeinen würde ich jetzt schon zu sagen wagen
treffliche Einstiegspreise!

Möglicherweise ein SL-Fishing, das da läuft.

Versant Announces Record Quarterly Net Income of $2.7 Million
Redwood City, Calif. / USA
2008/08/26
Quarterly revenues grow 20% over last year / Quarterly diluted net income per share of $0.70
Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2008.

For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $6.3 million from its continuing operations, compared to $5.2 million for the comparable period last year, representing an increase of approximately 20%. This increase was driven primarily by license revenues, which grew by approximately 35% from $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2008. Two telecommunications customers contributed approximately 33% of total revenues (and approximately 48% of license revenues) in the third quarter of 2008.

European revenue for the quarter was approximately 69% of total revenue, which was higher than recent quarters. Due to such distribution of revenue, and the increase in the value of the euro to the dollar compared to the same period in fiscal 2007, approximately 58% of Versant’s revenue growth in the third quarter of 2008 was due to currency changes.

Net income for the quarter was $2.7 million and diluted net income per share was $0.70, compared to net income of $1.9 million and diluted net income per share of $0.52 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Versant also reported an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.1 million during the quarter, resulting in a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $27.4 million at July 31, 2008.

“We are very satisfied with the results in our third fiscal quarter, which established another record quarterly net income milestone for the Company”, said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation. “However, due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and the difficult economic environment in the U.S. and Europe, achieving our future goals will become more challenging.”

Noch einmal für die Newcommer....

Endingen (aktiencheck.de AG) - Die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" raten, bei der Aktie von Versant (ISIN US9252843092/ WKN A0F69L) einen Fuß in die Tür zu stellen. Versant sei ein führender Anbieter von spezieller Daten-Management-Software. In der letzten Woche habe die Gesellschaft sehr gute Zahlen für das vierte Quartal 2006/07 veröffentlicht. Demnach sei der Umsatz um 21% auf 5,6 Mio. USD ausgeweitet worden und der Nettogewinn je Aktie sei von 0,38 USD auf 0,56 USD geklettert. Damit habe Versant in 2006/07 insgesamt einen Umsatzanstieg von 26% auf 21,2 Mio. USD sowie einen Gewinnanstieg um 77% auf 2,06 USD je Aktie erzielt. Der Ausblick für das neu angelaufene Fiskaljahr 2007/08 sei positiv ausgefallen. So stelle die Versant-Geschäftsführung einen Umsatzanstieg auf 24 Mio. USD sowie einen Nettogewinn von rund 9,5 Mio. USD bzw. 2,50 USD je Aktie in Aussicht. Nach Einschätzung der Experten sei die Guidance bewusst konservativ gehalten worden. Trotz des jüngsten Kurssprungs von über 20% werde der Titel mit einem KGV von 10 auf Basis der diesjährigen Prognosen bewertet. Dem gegenüber stünden Wachstumsraten von mindestens 25%. Vergleichbare Unternehmen würden ein KGV von 20 und mehr aufweisen, auf Basis der nächstjährigen Gewinnschätzungen. Vor diesem Hintergrund würden die Experten in 2008 Kurse zwischen 50 USD und 60 USD für möglich halten. Die Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" empfehlen, bei der Aktie von Versant einen Fuß in die Tür zu stellen. (Ausgabe 23 vom 10.12.2007) (11.12.2007/ac/a/a)

Versant Announces Quarterly Net Income of $2.2 Million
Redwood City, California, USA
2008/12/04
Revenues of $6.0 million for Q4 2008 / Versant acquires db4objects’ database business / Share repurchase program announced
Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 and certain other matters.


Results for Fourth Quarter Ended October 31, 2008
For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $6.0 million from its continuing operations, compared to $5.6 million for the same quarter last year, representing an increase of approximately 8%. This increase was driven primarily by increased license revenues, which grew by approximately 9% from $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 to $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. No customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the quarter.

Net income for the quarter was $2.2 million and diluted net income per share was $0.59, compared to net income of $2.1 million and diluted net income per share of $0.56 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.


Versant also reported a slight decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million during the quarter. This decrease was created to a large extent by a sharp increase in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the euro and by payment of tax liabilities. As of October 31, 2008, the company has reduced its cash held in foreign currencies to less than 10% of its total cash position.


Results for Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2008
Revenues from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 were approximately $25.3 million compared to approximately $21.2 million for fiscal year 2007, an increase of approximately 20%. The increase in the value of the euro against the dollar in fiscal 2008 over fiscal 2007 contributed to approximately 42% of the revenue increase in fiscal 2008.

Net income for the 2008 fiscal year was $9.5 million, an increase of 24% over net income of $7.6 million in fiscal year 2007 and diluted net income per share for fiscal 2008 was $2.51 compared to diluted net income per share of $2.06 in fiscal 2007.

“Our solid fourth quarter results demonstrate Versant’s ability to generate strong earnings in a challenging economic environment”, said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation.

Guidance for Fiscal 2009
Mr. Witte also said that “The outlook into fiscal 2009 is more uncertain than in prior years. However, we expect our business to be at a similar level as in fiscal 2008. Due to the recent strengthening of the dollar against the euro this same level of business activity will translate into a lower dollar denominated revenue number. Therefore, for fiscal year 2009 Versant currently forecasts revenues of between $22 million and $24 million, and diluted earnings per share between $2.00 and $2.40”.


Acquisition of db4objects’ database business
On December 1, 2008 Versant acquired the assets of the database software business of privately-held Servo Software, Inc. (formerly db4objects, Inc.) for $2.4 million in cash (including $300,000 of contingent payments). db4o is a popular open source object database software solution targeting the embedded device market. It is distributed under free open source licenses to a large, open source community of approximately 50,000 registered members located around the world, and in some cases is licensed on a fee-bearing basis to certain customers for redistribution. The team who operated the db4o business for Servo Software is expected to join Versant in connection with the acquisition.

“We are very excited about our acquisition of db4o, the leading open-source embedded object database” said Jochen Witte. “With this acquisition, Versant can now address a broad bandwidth of the market, ranging from embedded devices to highly-scalable enterprise systems. We believe that Versant’s strength and experience, combined with access to the large db4o open source community, will increase the visibility of our object database solutions and help us generate long-term growth and provide value for object-oriented developers”.

Stock Repurchase Program Approved
Versant’s Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program. Under the program, Versant is authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million worth of its outstanding common shares from time to time on the open market, in block trades or otherwise. Whether any such repurchases are made will depend on market conditions, the share price and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and no assurance can be given that any stock repurchases will in fact be made under this program. Any repurchases made under the program are expected to be funded from the company's working capital.


Departure of Executive VP of Field Operations
The employment of the company’s Executive VP of Field Operations, Mr. Thomas Huben, terminated effective as of December 2, 2008. Mr. Huben will support the Company for an interim period on a consulting basis to help ensure an orderly transition. The Company’s CEO and President, Mr. Jochen Witte, will temporarily assume the duties of Executive VP of Field Operations while the Company undertakes a search for a suitable candidate for this position.

For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $5.6 million from its continuing operations, compared to $6.3 million for the same quarter last year, representing a decrease of approximately 11%. This decrease was attributable to a strengthening of the USD against the Euro and to a decrease in license revenues for the quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. No customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the quarter ended January 31, 2009, whereas one customer contributed approximately 23% of total revenues in the quarter ended January 31, 2008.

Net income for the quarter was $1.6 million and diluted net income per share was $0.42, compared to net income of $2.6 million and diluted net income per share of $0.69 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the quarter was negatively affected by reduced revenues in the quarter as well as a non recurring employment separation expense of approximately $275,000.

Versant also reported a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million during the quarter. This decrease was primarily a result of our cash acquisition of db4o for $2.1 million, the expenditure of $1.1 million to repurchase shares of our common stock under the stock repurchase program we announced in December 2008, and an increase in trade accounts receivable of $2.7 million, offset partially by an increase in deferred revenues of $1.2 million.

Since announcement of the stock repurchase program, Versant has acquired 76,692 common shares on the open market for approximately $1.1 million at an average purchase price of $14.39 per share, leaving approximately $3.9 million in authorized funds available for future repurchases of stock under this program.

“Despite the continued challenging economic environment, we are pleased with our revenue performance in the current quarter. We were able to accomplish solid revenue levels without depending on large transactions. We completed our acquisition of db4o during the quarter and have made significant progress with its integration”, said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation.

Versant Revises Annual Guidance And Also Announces Preliminary Second Quarter Results
Redwood City, California / USA
2009/04/20
For fiscal year 2009, the Company expects revenues of between $17 million and $19 million and diluted earnings per share of between $1.00 and $1.30
Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today revised its previous guidance for its fiscal year ending October 31, 2009 and provided preliminary estimates of the results of its second fiscal quarter.

For fiscal year 2009, the Company now expects revenues of between $17 million and $19 million (compared to the previous fiscal 2009 revenue guidance of between $22 million to $24 million) and diluted earnings per share of between $1.00 and $1.30, based upon an estimated average number of 3.7 million common shares (compared to the previous fiscal 2009 guidance of diluted earnings per share of between $2.00 and $2.40).


The Company currently expects revenues of between $3.5 million and $3.7 million with modest net income for its second fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2009.

“As we stated when Versant originally provided its fiscal 2009 guidance, the outlook for fiscal 2009 has been much more uncertain than in prior years, and Versant is being affected by the recession in the global economy, which has resulted in greater challenges for the Company in closing new software license transactions”, said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation. “Given the uncertain economic environment, we are taking steps to reduce our operating expenses by approximately 10% compared to the prior fiscal year through reductions in discretionary spending, by not refilling certain vacant job positions that are not considered mission critical to the Company, and other measures. We do not anticipate personnel lay-offs at this time, therefore maintaining our core team, and we expect to continue to maintain overall profitable and cash positive operations in our 2009 fiscal year.”


The Company plans to continue its stock repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million worth of its outstanding common shares from time to time on the open market, in block trades or otherwise.

Nun, es kann wieder aufwärts gehen - einfache 100% erstmal, aber auch da die nimmt man heutzutage dankbar mit.

Versant zeigt, daß es auch bei einschneidendem Erlöseinbruch noch profitabel wirtschaften kann. Die (Personal) Aufwendungen wurden mit einem Mal um 1,4 mio (ein Drittel) zurückgefahren.

Versant ist nebenbei in der Lage eigene Aktien rückzukaufen,
und seinen Cashbestand sogar auszubauen dabei! #
Überhaupt Cash - momentan rar,aber nicht bei VSNT - die Krise birgt also Chance für VSNT. Weitere Zukäufe, wie der von db4o, werden folgen. Wenn ein Schnäppchen dabei ist, das später einschlägt, hat sichs gelohnt.

Der Kurs ist nach unten durch Rückkaufprogramm gestützt, die derzeitige (zurückgenommene) Umsatzprognose könnte bei Gewinnung von Großaufträgen, die ja in Q2/09 völlig fehlten, ganz plötzlich sogar weit übertroffen werden.
Auf dem aktuellen Kursniveau eine potentielle Rakete ohne Risiko nach unten. Middle+longterm-Spekulantenherz was willst du mehr

Revenues of $4.4 million for Q3 2009

Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2009.

For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $4.4 million from its continuing operations, compared to $6.3 million for the same quarter of the last fiscal year.

The 30% decrease in revenues for the quarter as compared to the same quarter of last fiscal year was primarily attributable to a 49% decrease in license revenues in the quarter relative to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Additionally, the increase in the dollar/euro exchange rate during the quarter contributed to approximately 6% of the decrease in revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 over the same period last year. In the quarter ended July 31, 2009 there were fewer license transactions and no customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the quarter, whereas two customers contributed approximately 33% of total revenues in the quarter ended July 31, 2008.

Net income for the quarter was $0.9 million and diluted net income per share was $0.25, compared to net income of $2.7 million and diluted net income per share of $0.70 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Versant’s cash and cash equivalents balance remained unchanged from the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009 at $26.8 million.

Since announcement of our stock repurchase program in December 2008, under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million worth of its outstanding common shares, Versant has acquired 206,377 of its common shares in the open market for a total price of approximately $3.0 million, or an average purchase price of $14.47 per share, leaving a balance of approximately $2.0 million in funds available for future repurchases of stock under this program until its expiration on October 31, 2009.

“In the current quarter we have witnessed an increase of approximately 12% in revenues and 19% in diluted net income per share when compared to the prior quarter”, said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation. “We view this as a possible signal of stabilization, although the software market certainly remains very difficult.”

Revenues of $4.1 million for Q4 2009

Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 and certain other matters.

Results for Fourth Quarter Ended October 31, 2009

For its fourth quarter, Versant reported revenues of $4.1 million compared to $6.0 million for the same quarter last year, representing a decrease of approximately 31%. This decrease was primarily due to the fact that the Company’s license transactions in the quarter were for generally smaller transaction amounts compared to the prior year. No customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the quarter.

Net income for the quarter was $1.6 million and diluted net income per share was $0.45, compared to net income of $2.2 million and diluted net income per share of $0.59 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Diluted net income per share for the quarter includes an income tax benefit of $0.26 or approximately $939,000, which amount represents management’s judgment of the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Versant’s cash and cash equivalents balance increased by approximately $1.1 million to $27.8 million during the quarter.

Results for Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2009

Revenues were approximately $18.2 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 compared to approximately $25.3 million for fiscal year 2008, a decrease of approximately 28%. This decrease was primarily attributable to generally smaller license transaction amounts compared to the prior year particularly with our larger value added resellers, and to a lesser extent, the strengthening in value of the US dollar against the euro for approximately $1.2 million. The Company believes that the reduction of our revenues is principally a result of the current recessionary economic environment.

Net income for fiscal year 2009 was $4.8 million, a decrease of 49% over the record net income of $9.5 million in fiscal year 2008, and diluted net income per share for fiscal 2009 was $1.32 (including $0.26 for the income tax benefit related to the estimated realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets) compared to diluted net income per share of $2.51 in fiscal 2008.

New Stock Repurchase Program Approved

Versant’s Board of Directors has approved a new stock repurchase program. Under the program, Versant is authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million worth of its outstanding common shares from time to time on the open market, in block trades or otherwise. Whether any such repurchases are made will depend on market conditions, the share price and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and no assurance can be given that any stock repurchases will in fact be made under this program. Any repurchases made under the program are expected to be funded from the Company's working capital.

The new stock repurchase program succeeds Versant’s fiscal year 2009 repurchase program, which expired by its terms on October 31, 2009. Under that repurchase program the Company repurchased a total of 222,688 common shares from December 2008 to October 2009 at an average price of $14.55 per share for a total amount of approximately $3.2 million.

Guidance for Fiscal 2010

“This last year was a very challenging year for Versant, as we witnessed a significant decline in license revenues from our base of customers, especially from some of our larger value added resellers. Despite the difficult economic environment, the Company generated $1.32 in diluted income per share and achieved net positive cash flow notwithstanding significant cash outflows related to our acquisition of db4o and repurchases of our stock in fiscal 2009”, said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation.

“One of the principal focus points of the Company is to achieve long-term, profitable growth by increasing our base of value added resellers and other customers. Therefore, Versant has plans to increase its sales and marketing spending levels by approximately 20% in fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year. The Company expects to recognize benefits from these additional sales and marketing expenditures over the medium term, and currently expects its total revenues in fiscal year 2010 to be essentially unchanged from its fiscal year 2009 total revenues of $18.2 million. Due to the projected increased spending in sales and marketing and anticipated SOX 404 compliance costs, the Company is currently projecting Income from Operations of approximately $2.8 million for fiscal year 2010.”

Revenues of $4.5 million for Q1 2010

Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2010.

For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $4.5 million from its operations compared to $5.6 million for the same quarter of the last fiscal year.

The 21% decrease in revenues for the quarter as compared to the same quarter of last fiscal year was primarily attributable to a 24% decrease in license revenues and also to a 14% decrease in maintenance revenues relative to the same period in the prior fiscal year. In the quarter ended January 31, 2010 there were generally smaller license transactions compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009, although one customer accounted for 13% of total revenues in the quarter, whereas no customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the quarter ended January 31, 2009.

Net income for the quarter was $0.5 million and diluted net income per share was $0.14, compared to net income of $1.6 million and diluted net income per share of $0.42 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Versant also reported a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 million during the quarter. The decrease was primarily a result of the increase in trade accounts receivable of $1.3 million and the expenditure of $0.7 million to repurchase shares of our common stock under the stock repurchase program, and was partially offset by an increase in deferred revenues of $0.7 million.

The provision for income taxes for the quarter includes adjustments for taxable gains from US denominated currencies held by our German operations as a result of the strengthening of the US dollar against the euro, and to a lesser extent, foreign withholding taxes on sales transactions for certain countries in the Asia Pacific region.

Under the Company’s current stock repurchase program, in which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million worth of its outstanding common shares, Versant has acquired 49,542 of its common shares in the open market for a total price of approximately $0.7 million, or an average purchase price of $15.03 per share, leaving a balance of approximately $4.3 million in funds available for future repurchases of stock under this program until its expiration on October 31, 2010.

“In the current quarter revenues increased by approximately 8% over the preceding quarter”, said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation. “Income from operations also grew 22% compared to the preceding quarter despite our increased spending levels in sales and marketing. We view this as a possible signal of stabilization, although the software market certainly remains very difficult to forecast in the current economic environment.”

Also Announces Preliminary Second Quarter Results

Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today revised its previous guidance for its fiscal year ending October 31, 2010 and provided preliminary estimates of the results of its second fiscal quarter.

For fiscal year 2010, the Company now expects revenues of between $15.5 million and $16.5 million (compared to the previous fiscal 2010 revenue guidance of $18.2 million) and income from operations of between $1.0 million to $1.7 million (compared to the previous fiscal 2010 guidance of $2.8 million).

The Company currently expects that, for its second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2010, revenues will be approximately $3.5 million with income from operations at break-even. Actual results for the second quarter will be announced in a separate, future press release.

The projected decrease in revenues for fiscal year 2010 is attributable to lower support and maintenance revenues, and to a somewhat lesser extent, lower license revenues for the remainder of the fiscal year. The decrease in support and maintenance revenues is a result of the lack of substantive back maintenance revenue transactions projected in fiscal year 2010 (compared to fiscal 2009 when the Company recognized approximately $0.7 million in back maintenance revenues) and a current trend of customers electing less expensive support and maintenance options. The projected decrease in license revenues is largely due to anticipated delays in closing license transactions currently in our sales pipeline.

“Several of our customers elected less expensive support programs, which we believe was done as a cost control measure in response to current economic conditions. However, the renewals for standard support and maintenance from our customer base continue at a very high level” said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation. “During the quarter, we focused some of our sales efforts towards closing a significant license transaction. Although the transaction did not close, we anticipate that discussions will continue with the other party with the possibility of finalizing the arrangement later in our fiscal year.”

The Company plans to continue its stock repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million worth of its outstanding common shares from time to time on the open market, in block trades or otherwise.

VERSANT AND FRAUNHOFER FOKUS ENTER INTO A STRATEGIC LAB PARTNERSHIP
Redwood City, CA/USA and Berlin, Germany
06/09/2010

Integrating object databases into IPTV components providing advances for multimedia industry and content providers

Versant Corporation (NASDAQ: VSNT), an industry leader in high performance data management software, and Berlin based Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (Fraunhofer FOKUS) have entered into an applied research agreement. Teaming-up together as strategic lab partners, the IT company and the German research facility aim to demonstrate how IPTV technologies can benefit from object databases to advance the multimedia industry, content providers and telecom enterprises.

The first milestone of the joint project was successfully completed in the beginning of June 2010. The partners integrated Versant’s Object Database into key components of the Open IPTV Ecosystem, a technology under development by Fraunhofer FOKUS. This proof of concept demonstrates how certain IPTV services and applications may perform up to 10x faster and provide a much more robust and scalable platform, essential for serving large numbers of subscribers.

“We are excited about our new lab partnership with Fraunhofer FOKUS, helping us to further validate Versant’s versatility in leading edge telecom applications. The Open IPTV Ecosystem is a perfect software environment to benchmark Versant’s outstanding performance for current and future telecommunication services,” says Dirk Bartels, Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Product Management at Versant. “The lab partnership will help telecom service providers evaluate database requirements in a real world context of a highly demanding use case, including low to zero latency session management and a large volume of content requests. Implementing the IPTV Content & Media Guide of Fraunhofer FOKUS and their IPTV Session Controller in our database provides a robust carrier grade sub system. The newly developed solution benefits from Versant’s high performance database engine, horizontal and vertical scalability, and its toolset for enterprise-class high availability”, stresses Bartels.

The Open IPTV Ecosystem provides for seamless Web based media functions into IPTV and telecommunication environments. As a result, interactive elements for personalized media experience can be used across TV, Mobile and Internet platforms. Developed in line and ahead of standardizations, including specifications from Open IPTV Forum (OIPF), ETSI TISPAN, HbbTV and OMTP, the Fraunhofer FOKUS Open IPTV Ecosystem is the first to offer practical end-to-end implementations. All components are adapted specifically to the customer’s needs in such markets as consumer electronics, telecommunications and broadcasting.

“The strategic partnership with Versant Corporation enables us to integrate an object database into the Open IPTV Ecosystem”, says Dr. Stefan Arbanowski of Fraunhofer FOKUS. “The Open IPTV Ecosystem definitely benefits from Versant’s multi session management, transparent object persistence and enterprise class high availability and scalability. The transition from our traditional implementation was easy and straight forward, and the technical benefits in terms of performance and scalability are quite impressive.”

Versant Object Database
The Versant Object Database (VOD) provides powerful advantages to developers creating C++, Java or .NET object models, supporting massive concurrency and large data sets. The advantages of VOD’s performance and scalability provide for a more efficient production environment, often supporting 10x more concurrent users and 10x faster data access speed compared to relational databases.

FOKUS Open IPTV Ecosystem
The Open IPTV Ecosystem represents a test environment and reference implementation for standardized IPTV, as specified by different Standard Development Organizations (SDO) including ETSI TISPAN (http://www.etsi.org/tispan/) and the Open IPTV Forum (http://www.oipf.tv/).

Versant Announces Quarterly Net Income of $0.1 Million
Redwood City, California / USA
08/25/2010
Revenues of $3.4 million for Q3 2010
Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management software, today announced its financial results for its third quarter ended July 31, 2010.

For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $3.4 million compared to $4.4 million for the same quarter of the last fiscal year.

The 23% decrease in revenues for the quarter was primarily attributable to a 25% decrease in maintenance revenues and a 19% decrease in license revenues relative to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in maintenance revenues reflected the lack of a significant back maintenance transaction in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and customers electing less expensive support and maintenance options. The decrease in license revenues was primarily a result of fewer large license transactions in the current quarter compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In the quarter ended July 31, 2010, one customer accounted for 15% of total revenues in the quarter, whereas no customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the quarter ended July 31, 2009.

Net income for the quarter was $0.1 million and diluted net income per share was $0.04, compared to net income of $0.9 million and diluted net income per share of $0.25 for the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

Versant also reported a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.4 million during the quarter, which was primarily a result of expenditures of approximately $2.5 million to repurchase shares of our common stock under the stock repurchase program.

Under the Company's current stock repurchase program, Versant is authorized to expend up to $5.0 million to repurchase outstanding common shares. During the quarter ended July 31, 2010, Versant acquired approximately 221,000 shares in block trades and in open market purchases at an average price of $11.28 per share. From inception of the current repurchase program in December 2009 through July 31, 2010, the Company has acquired a total of 296,778 common shares at a total price of approximately $3.6 million, or an average purchase price of $12.19 per share, leaving a balance of approximately $1.4 million available for future repurchases of stock under this program until its currently anticipated expiration on October 31, 2010.

Jochen Witte, Versant Corporation’s CEO, stated “While we would have liked a stronger quarter, our overall revenues were relatively stable compared to revenues of $3.5 million in the preceding quarter and we are also pleased to announce China Telecom as our first customer in the People’s Republic of China. Despite our increased spending levels in sales and marketing in order to better position the Company for future growth, Versant achieved another profitable quarter from its operations, its 20th sequential quarter of such uninterrupted profitability.”

Versant Announces Quarterly Net Income of $0.9 Million

Redwood City, CA / USA
12/01/2010
Revenues of $4.4 million for Q4 2010

Versant Corporation (NASDAQ:VSNT), an industry leader in specialized data management, today announced its financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 and certain other matters.

Results for Fourth Quarter Ended October 31, 2010

For the quarter, Versant reported revenues of $4.4 million compared to $4.1 million for the same quarter last year, representing an increase of approximately 6%. Two customers accounted for 24% of total revenues in the quarter, whereas no customer accounted for more than 10% in the same period last year.

Income from operations for the quarter was $0.9 million compared to $0.6 million in the same period last year. Net income for the quarter was $0.9 million and diluted net income per share was $0.28 compared to net income of $1.6 million and diluted net income per share of $0.45 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2009 was largely the result of an income tax benefit of approximately $1.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, which was not repeated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

Results for Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2010

Revenues were approximately $15.8 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 compared to approximately $18.2 million for fiscal 2009, a decrease of approximately 13%. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower maintenance revenues and, to a lesser extent, to lower license revenues, primarily from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2009. One customer accounted for 12% of total revenues in fiscal 2010.

Income from operations for fiscal 2010 was $2.0 million compared to $4.0 million for fiscal 2009. Net income for fiscal 2010 was $1.7 million, a decrease of 66% from net income of $4.8 million in fiscal 2009, and diluted net income per share for fiscal 2010 was $0.48 compared to diluted net income per share of $1.32 in fiscal 2009.

New Stock Repurchase Program Approved

Versant’s Board of Directors has approved a new stock repurchase program. Under the program, Versant is authorized to repurchase up to $5.0 million worth of its outstanding common shares from time to time on the open market, in block trades or otherwise. Whether any such repurchases are made will depend on market conditions, the share price and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and no assurance can be given that any stock repurchases will in fact be made under this program. Any repurchases made under the program are expected to be funded from the Company's working capital.

The new stock repurchase program succeeds Versant’s fiscal 2010 repurchase program, which expired by its terms on October 31, 2010. Under that repurchase program the Company repurchased a total of 356,104 common shares from December 2009 to October 2010 at an average price of $12.06 per share for a total amount of approximately $4.3 million.

Guidance for Fiscal 2011

“In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, Versant was able to increase its revenues relative to the same period last year. For the year ended October 31, 2010, Versant achieved its revised revenue guidance of $15.5 million to $16.5 million and exceeded its revised guidance for income from operations of $1.0 million to $1.7 million. As a result of our increased sales and marketing efforts, Versant was able to win 22 new customers during the year”, said Jochen Witte, CEO of Versant Corporation.

“The Company currently expects to increase its fiscal 2011 revenues by approximately 5% over its revenues for fiscal 2010. The Company plans to continue to increase sales and marketing spending in fiscal 2011 in order to continue to build momentum in new customer acquisitions, and as a result, the Company expects its net income for fiscal 2011 to remain essentially unchanged from its net income for fiscal 2010.”

Versant Agrees to be Acquired by Actian
Posted Dec 4, 2012 - December 4, 2012

Actian Corporation and Versant Corporation, both real-time information management software providers, have announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement through which Actian will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Versant for $13 per share in cash for a purchase price of approximately $37 million. Versant's board of directors unanimously approved the Actian acquisition agreement.

"Versant and Actian have complementary businesses," said Bernhard Woebker, Versant's president and CEO. "We believe we can leverage our combined strength in managing complex information in environments that demand high performance to lead in the business intelligence and analytics market. This merger will also deliver premium value and liquidity to Versant's shareholders."

Prior to entering into the Actian Acquisition Agreement, Versant terminated its previous merger agreement with Unicom and, in accordance with that agreement, Versant will pay a termination fee of $750,000. According to the companies, Actian's $13 per share cash purchase price represents a premium of approximately 13% over the $11.50 per share price contemplated by the prior merger agreement with Unicom, and a 32% premium over Versant's closing price of $9.85 per share on the last trading day before announcement of the prior agreement with Unicom.

The Actian acquisition agreement provides for the merger of Versant with a subsidiary of Actian, and the transaction is currently expected to close in Versant's first fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2013. Following completion of the transaction, Versant will be wholly owned by Actian and its stock will no longer trade on the NASDAQ.
