Concur exceeds expectations with first $100m. for 1st Q.

Concur, provider of integrated travel and expense management services, reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011. Concur reported total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 of $100.4 million. Total revenue for the quarter was up 25% from the year-ago quarter and up 5% from the prior quarter. Fiscal 2012 first quarter non-GAAP pre-tax income was $17.9 million, or $0.32 per share.

“Driven by the investments we made in the core business over the past few fiscal years, we recorded an exceptional first quarter of fiscal 2012, with revenue growing 25% year-over-year and EPS coming in ahead of our expectations,” said Steve Singh, chairman and CEO of Concur. “We are pleased with the performance of our business across the board and – driven by the strength of the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and our outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year – we are raising our growth expectations for the fiscal year as a whole.”

Singh continued, “We entered calendar 2012 on a $400 million annual revenue run-rate and expect to exit calendar 2012 on a $500 million annual revenue run-rate. The demand environment remains robust and the investments we are making in fiscal 2012 and 2013 – as we look to double our distribution capacity and drive the innovation curve in our industry – are expected to help us continue to drive strong revenue growth in the years ahead.”
