St. Bernard Software Reports Record Second Quarter
Billings Results
San Diego, CA July 12, 2006 St. Bernard Software, Inc., a global provider of security solutions, today announced second quarter billings of $7.5 million, which represents license and subscription contracts billed to customers during the quarter.
Performance was driven by St. Bernards product iPrism, an award-winning Internet filtering appliance, which achieved billings of $4.4 million during the quarter. This highlights a 24 percent increase year over year for the product, after adjusting for a one-time event during 2005. Additionally, iPrism new customer billings grew by 41 percent over Q2, 2005.
Our second quarter billings performance is a reflection of continued acceptance of iPrism as a leading solution for Internet filtering, as well as the ongoing market demand for Internet filtering in our target market of small and medium enterprises, said John Jones, CEO and president of St. Bernard Software. In addition, the growth in new iPrism customers during the quarter speaks to the 95 percent satisfaction rating received for the product in our recent customer satisfaction survey. This combination of market demand, preference for iPrism, and highly satisfied customers creates a strong platform for St. Bernard Software.
St. Bernard has entered into a merger agreement with Sand Hill IT Security Acquisition Corp. The merger is subject to the approval of Sand Hill stockholders and to certain other conditions that are described in the proxy statement/prospectus. Sand Hill has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC in connection with the proposed merger.
