Business Perspective
"We had terrific results in Q4 highlighted by growth across geographies and within key industries, including financial services, insurance, communications, energy, warranty management, travel & hospitality, and healthcare," said Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO of Pegasystems. "Significant customer wins during the quarter included one of the largest global wireless carriers, one of the largest insurers in Western Europe, and a leading U.S. cable television provider. We also saw increased adoption of our solutions at a leading U.K bank, two of the largest global banks, and a leading online travel services provider. Our work with partners continues to bear fruit with most of these customer successes driven with partners who continue building significant Pega practices."
"We enter 2012 excited about recent and imminent additions to our product portfolio. We are broadening our product leadership focus in the areas of multi-channel customer service and next-best-action marketing. We are also extending our mobile, social media, and decisioning capabilities across our core platform and industry solutions. We are thrilled that our existing customers are seeing the value from their initial purchases, and are expanding their adoption of Pega technology," concluded Mr. Trefler.
Craig Dynes, Pegasystems' CFO, added, "Despite the challenging economy, we set new records for the value of license signings for both the year and Q4. We start 2012 with a great backlog and a strong pipeline. We estimate our 2012 revenue to exceed $500 million, with no material differences between GAAP and Non-GAAP revenue. Similar to last year, we expect 2012 will be back-end loaded, and therefore, revenue for the first half of 2012 is estimated to be about 45% of annual guidance."
"We believe that our record license signings are related to our investments in sales and R&D. These will be areas of continued investment to drive future growth. Accordingly, net income for 2012 is estimated to be $15 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, on a GAAP basis, or $36.5 million or $0.91 per diluted share on a Non-GAAP basis. Because of the back-ended nature of our revenue, as well as important planned expenditures in the first half of 2012 which include our annual sales kickoff in Q1 and our PegaWORLD user conference in Q2, we estimate the first half of 2012 to be break-even on a GAAP basis or earnings of $0.25 per diluted share on a Non GAAP basis."
Messrs. Trefler and Dynes will host a conference call and live Webcast associated with this announcement at 6:00 p.m. EST on February 29, 2012. Dial-in information is as follows: (877) 348-9349 (domestic) or (678) 809-1046 (international).

Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement financial results presented on a GAAP basis, the Company provides Non-GAAP measures, including in this release. Pegasystems' management utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and Non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, for making operating decisions, and for forecasting and planning for future periods. The Company's annual financial plan is prepared both on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis, and the Non-GAAP annual financial plan is approved by our board of directors. In addition and as a consequence of the importance of these measures in managing the business, the Company uses Non-GAAP measures and results in the evaluation process to establish management's compensation.
The Non-GAAP measures exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to our acquisition of Chordiant, as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our anticipated future results. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP to Non-GAAP measures is included in the financial schedules at the end of the release.
Forward-Looking Statements

The words "anticipate," "project," "expect," "plan," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "should", "target," "forecast," "could," "preliminary," "guidance" and similar expressions, among others, identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and involve various risks and uncertainties, which could cause the Company's actual results to differ from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, variation in demand for our products and services and the difficulty in predicting the completion of product acceptance and other factors affecting the timing of our license revenue recognition, our ability to develop new products and evolve existing ones, the ongoing consolidation in the financial services and healthcare markets, our ability to attract and retain key personnel, reliance on key third party relationships, the potential loss of vendor specific objective evidence for our professional services, and management of the Company's growth. Further information regarding these and other factors which could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements contained in this press release is contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and other recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FOOTNOTES FOR RECONCILIATON OF
SELECTED GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP MEASURES
(1) This presentation includes Non-GAAP measures. Our Non-GAAP measures are
not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP
measures, the reasons why management uses these measures, the usefulness
of these measures and the material limitations on the usefulness of
these measures see disclosure under Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures
included earlier in this release and below. Our Non-GAAP financial
measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as
the related income tax effects:
Revenue: Business combination accounting rules require that we determine
the fair value of the deferred revenue liability for contractual
obligations assumed from Chordiant. In post-acquisition reporting
periods, we recognize revenue for the fair value of these contracts,
when all the revenue recognition criteria are satisfied, instead of the
revenue that would have been recognized by Chordiant as an independent
company. We add back the effect of the deferred revenue fair value
adjustment in Non-GAAP revenue to reflect the full amount of these
revenues to provide a more complete comparison with the revenue of peer
companies.
Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of
amortization of intangible assets acquired from Chordiant from our Non-
GAAP operating expenses and net earnings measures. Amortization of
intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is
significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions.
Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to
our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to
our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets
will recur in future periods.
Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-
based compensation expenses from our Non-GAAP operating expenses and net
earnings measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive
offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed
to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it
will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, we continue
to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation
expense.
Acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs: We have excluded the
effect of acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs from our
Non-GAAP operating expenses and net earnings measures. We incurred
direct and incremental costs associated with the Chordiant acquisition.
These acquisition-related costs were primarily due diligence costs,
advisory and legal transaction fees, and valuation and tax consulting
fees. We have also incurred restructuring costs related to the
integration of the acquisition, which we generally would not have
otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing
operations. Restructuring costs consist of employee severance and other
exit costs. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the
effects of these items on our total operating expenses.
(2) Estimated future annual amortization expense related to intangible
assets as of December 31, 2011 is as follows:
Fiscal 2012 $ 11,137
Fiscal 2013 11,095
Fiscal 2014 9,489
Fiscal 2015 8,688
Fiscal 2016 8,688
Fiscal 2017 and thereafter 20,272
--------
Total intangible assets subject to amortization $ 69,369
========
(3) As a result of our entering into a lease arrangement in June 2011 for
our new office headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, we expect to
cease the use of our current offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the
second half of 2012 and abandon certain leasehold improvements and
furniture and fixtures. Accordingly, in June 2011 we revised the
remaining useful lives of these fixed assets and recorded incremental
depreciation expense of $0.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2011
and $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. In addition,
we recorded rent expense of $1.5 million and $2 million associated with
our new office headquarters during the fourth quarter and year ended
December 31, 2011, respectively. We believe the incremental depreciation
and duplicate rent expense for existing and new office headquarters as a
result of our moving our headquarters is not representative of our
ongoing business.
(4) The differences between our GAAP and Non-GAAP effective tax rates in the
fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 were primarily due to
the impact of higher Non-GAAP income before taxes. The differences
between our GAAP and Non-GAAP tax rates in the fourth quarter and year
ended December 31, 2010 were primarily due to the impact of allowable
acquisition-related deductions for income tax purposes.
(5) The diluted weighted-average common shares used for the calculation of
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of
outstanding options, restricted stock units, and warrants, and the
average market price of our common stock during the applicable periods
using the treasury stock method.
