Management Commentary
"2007 was an excellent year for ClickSoftware. Not only did we increase our revenues by 23% over 2006 to $40 million - slightly below the lower end of our guidance range of $41-$42 million - but we are also starting 2008 with a very comfortable backlog level and deferred revenues of approximately $20.5 million dollars. Record total bookings for 2007 were approximately $46 million, representing a nearly 1.15 book-to-revenues ratio. Significant growth in our cash position has strengthened our balance sheet as we proactively seek growth opportunities in 2008. We continue to win industry leaders as customers, further bolstering our market leadership," said Dr. Moshe BenBassat, ClickSoftware's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our accomplishments in 2007 reflect the tremendous efforts and dedication of our employees and management to achieve our goals. We are starting 2008 well-staffed, with a healthy backlog and a strong pipeline, and with an excellent portfolio of existing and new product offerings," he added.
Outlook
The Company currently believes that revenues in 2008 will grow by approximately 20%-25% over 2007, reaching approximately $48-$50 million. This estimate is based on the current levels of deferred revenue, current backlog of firm commitments, and current visibility into a growing sales pipeline.
