Management Commentary

"We executed well in the second quarter winning new cloud and on premise customers in competitive situations, and remain on track to achieve our annual growth targets," said Dr. Moshe BenBassat, ClickSoftware's Founder and CEO. "The integration of Xora is progressing well and we are already working on accounts where our classic optimization products combined with Xora's products create a unique unmatched offering in our space. Furthermore, we are on our way to expand the selling of Xora's products in non-U.S. markets via new wireless carrier partners."

"We are also further expanding into the SMB (Small and Medium Businesses) market by providing additional product offerings through Salesforce's App Exchange platform. During the second quarter we introduced ShiftExpert -a new Salesforce1 mobile app- that optimizes the planning, management and execution of employees' work shifts and timesheets.  With ShiftExpert - which is based on our classic ClickRoster - we are introducing a new cloud concept: `Optimization as a Service' as an affordable option for small and mid-size companies to benefit from our powerful optimization algorithms. This concept is also being offered with the Xora products for schedule optimization."

"To realize the revenue potential of our existing and new cloud and SMB products, we continue to invest in our expansion plans. While we are closely monitoring our expense level, these expansion investments will have some impact on our short term profit levels. Nevertheless, we expect to return to profitability by the third quarter and increase it in the fourth quarter."

"ClickSoftware continues to be the undisputed market leader for service companies of all sizes in all verticals. Specifically in the utilities vertical -a major component of the service sector- we have just been named by International Data Corp. (IDC) as the leader in the 2014 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Utilities Mobile Field Force Management," concluded Dr. BenBassat.

Financial Outlook

ClickSoftware is raising its full year revenue guidance to $128 - $133 million, (previously $126 to $132 million), based on a current backlog of $41.3 million and projections for winning new business.
