Solid Q2 Revenue Performance with Increase of Nearly 4%; Q2’13 EPS of $.25 vs. $.19 Prior Year; YTD’13 EPS of $.43 vs. $.24 Prior Year

LOWELL, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 19, 2012 — SofTech, Inc. (OTCQB: SOFT), a proven provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions today announced its second quarter fiscal 2013 operating results. Revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2012 was $1.772 million, an increase of 3.9% from the same period in the prior fiscal year. Net income was $252,000 or $.25 per share for the three months ended November 30, 2012, an increase of nearly 35% from the net income of $187,000 or $.19 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Revenue for the six months ended November 30, 2012 was $3.342 million, an increase of 2.2% from the same period in the prior fiscal year. Net income increased 77% to $425,000 or $.43 per share for the six months ended November 30, 2012, from net income of $240,000 or $.24 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The current quarter revenue included $100,000 of royalties on our previously announced sale of patents. The same period in the prior year included approximately $100,000 of maintenance revenue from a large customer for whom the services were delivered over the previous eleven months but not recognized until Q2 fiscal 2012.

“This was our best quarter since the March 2011 Recapitalization Transaction. Our CADRA product line revenue was 10% higher than the same period last year and represented the best quarterly performance in four years while the pipeline of opportunities for ProductCenter and for our new Connector technology offerings strengthened,” said Joe Mullaney, CEO. “We have now completed six full fiscal quarters since the Recapitalization Transaction and during that time period the average quarterly license revenue for our technology was 22% higher than the average quarterly license revenue during the two year period prior to the aforementioned transaction,” he added.

“Our cash levels are lowest at the end of the calendar year just before the majority of our annual maintenance contracts renew in the January through May time period. The recently announced sale of 45,000 common shares at $5.00 per share helped strengthen our balance sheet and will provide additional working capital,” Mullaney added.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other matters, our outlook for fiscal year 2013 and beyond. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events or results. Actual future events and results could differ materially from the events and results indicated in these statements as a result of many factors, including, how successful the buyer of our patents will be in its efforts to monetize them and our ability to: (1) generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or other sources to fund our working capital needs and growth initiatives; (2) maintain good relationships with our lender; (3) comply with the covenant requirements of the loan agreement; (4) successfully introduce and attain market acceptance of any new products and/or enhancements of existing products; (5) attract and retain qualified personnel; (6) prevent obsolescence of our technologies; (7) maintain agreements with our critical software vendors; (8) secure renewals of existing software maintenance contracts, as well as contracts with new maintenance customers; and (9) secure new business, both from existing and new customers, among others.

These and other additional factors that may cause actual future events and results to differ materially from the events and results indicated in the forward-looking statements above are set forth more fully under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement (No. 333-174818) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2012. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors that may affect such forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Company has presented EBITDA from continuing operations, which is defined as Net income plus interest expense, tax expense, non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, non cash loss (gain) and stock based compensation expense, non-recurring professional fees related to the recapitalization transaction less the Net income from discontinued operations. The Company believes that the inclusion of EBITDA from continuing operations helps investors gain a meaningful understanding of the Company’s core operating results and enhance comparing such performance with prior periods, without the distortion of non-operating expenses and non-cash expenditures. Management uses EBITDA from continuing operations, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring our core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods. EBITDA from continuing operations is also the most important measure of performance in measuring compliance with the Company’s debt facilities. EBITDA from continuing operations is not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of EBITDA from continuing operations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the text of, and the accompanying tables to, this press release.
