NetSol Technologies Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results

Fourth Quarter Revenue of $6.9 Million Reflects 36% Sequential Revenue Growth; Higher Sales and a Significant Reduction in Operating Expense Drive Improvements in Reducing Sequential Quarterly GAAP Net Loss and Returning to EBITDA Profitability

EMERYVILLE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/15/09 -- NetSol Technologies, Inc. "NetSol" (NASDAQ: NTWK) (NASDAQ DUBAI: NTWK), a U.S. corporation providing global business services and enterprise application solutions to private and public sector organizations worldwide, today announced fourth quarter financial results for fiscal year 2009, for the period ended June 30, 2009.

Fiscal Year 2009 Results

-- Revenues totaled $26.4 million, down 28% year-over-year

   -- Service fees totaled $15.2 million

   -- Maintenance fees totaled $6.5 million

   -- License fees totaled $4.8 million

-- Full year GAAP net loss applicable to common shareholders of $8.2
   million, or a loss of $0.30 per fully diluted share, compared to GAAP
   net income applicable to common shareholders of $4.8 million, or $0.19
   per fully diluted share, in the year ago period

-- Full year EBITDA loss of $2.5 million, or EBITDA loss of $0.09 per
   diluted share, versus EBITDA of $9.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted
   share, in the year ago period

Najeeb Ghauri, NetSol Technologies chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "NetSol's fiscal fourth quarter revenues exceeded the high end of our sequential growth range projection, rising 36%, driven by increased license and IT services sales. While our full year results reflect the challenges of the global economic downturn compared to a 2008 period which was the strongest in the company's history, NetSol's fiscal fourth quarter results provide clear evidence that our NetSol Financial Suite(TM) and global BestShoring® IT service offerings are gaining fresh momentum. The success of our comprehensive cost efficiency measures yielded an impressive 23% reduction in fiscal fourth quarter operating expenses as compared to the year ago period. Our more efficient operating expense base, combined with our renewed sequential revenue growth, drove material improvements in reducing the company's sequential quarterly GAAP net loss as well as supported an important return to quarterly EBITDA profitability.

"I am pleased to report we enter our fiscal year 2010 with a significantly stronger pipeline, and are also seeing excellent new opportunities in the government and defense sectors. Looking ahead to fiscal 2010, we anticipate stronger full year results in terms of top and bottom line performance. If we couple our more efficient global operating structure with the fresh momentum on the sales side, we currently forecast a quarterly GAAP breakeven revenue run rate of approximately $8.0 million, and $6.5 million on a cash basis," concluded Mr. Ghauri.

NetSol reported consolidated revenues of $6.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, representing a 35% decline as compared to the $10.5 million in revenues reported for the same period a year ago.

U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net loss applicable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 was approximately $0.9 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, which compares to GAAP net income applicable to common shareholders of $1.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the same period of fiscal year 2008.

NetSol reported EBITDA of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared to EBITDA of $2.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the year ago period.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a measure of the Company's operating trends. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The EBITDA numbers presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with the SEC Regulation G, the non-GAAP measures in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the financial table heading "Reconciliation to GAAP."
